1023 Cheap Mouth
Even from her expressionless face, one could tell how angry she was right now. Why wouldn’t she be? Someone actually dared to point a finger at her family member? Did she allow it? She never did and she never will. Her family was always her reverse scale!
“AHH!” Madam Yue ended up screaming in pain because of how tight Raelle’s grip was on her wrist. She didn’t even like physical touch but right now, she didn’t mind it either. She looked like she was gonna break that hand any minute now.
“Who the hell are you to question our Yue?” asked Raelle. “Did you ask for my family’s permission before running off this mouth?” She threw her hand away as if she was throwing away something dirty and it made Madam Yue stumble. Her old body might have fallen but because the maids were still holding on, she didn’t fall. “You’re not only blind but you never even learned how to talk, eh?”
Madam Yue rubbed her wrist with tears in her eyes. She was truly in pain. She looked towards Yue Yue and said, “Are you really gonna stand there and watch your mother getting bullied by an outsider?”
Even before Yue could do anything, Raelle stood between them, not allowing Madam Yue to even look at Yue Yue’s face. “Mother? Do you deserve that title?”
At this moment, Raelle had to say that even her own mother was far better than Madam Yue. Even if Song Xin’ai abandoned her or whatever, she never stopped loving her. She always kept her children in her heart. Unlike Madam Yue who wore the mask of a mother to constantly manipulate Yue Yue. The emotional damage this woman had done to Yue Yue was irreversible.
“First, you should learn how to be a mother. A mother is supposed to protect her child, not use her child’s kindness to her own advantage. It’s you who bullied Yue all her life and you’re here to do that again? Who gave you the nerve to even show up at my door and demand anything from my family? Do you even know your own worth? Do you even deserve to stand before the door of the Xiang family?”
Yue Yue silently rubbed her nose. She thought she should feel about her mother right now, but honestly, she felt nothing. Nothing at all. She was like a passerby at the moment just observing the situation as if it had nothing to do with her. It was actually rare for her to see this version of Raelle but she to say, she understood why people said she had a poisonous tongue.
She could really do some serious damage to people with her words.
.....
“You want Yue to help your Yue Lan. Guess what? That won’t be your only worry soon enough. Aren’t that daughter of yours very proud of her maternal grandparents’ family? Watch it turn to dust. I’ll make it happen. Do you wanna see how cruel we can get? Watch it carefully from the front row. You think everyone needs to listen to you because you’re the victim? The victim becomes the perpetrator once they start using their misery against another person. And you did exactly that. To not suffer yourself, you made your daughter suffer. Do you think that doesn’t make you a bully?”
Madam Yue was horrified when he heard Raelle mentioning Yue Lan’s maternal grandparents’ family which was also Madam Yue’s maternal family clan. She only came to beg Yue Yue because she thought her daughter might listen to her for one last time but she didn’t think things would get worse with her arrival.
How was she to know there was a devil-like Raelle here as well?
Actually, she was very clear about Yue Yue and Zhai Kuijun’s relationship. She knew Yue Yue loved Zhai Kuijun and that’s why she never actually did anything to defend her own daughter. Because subconsciously she also believed in Yue Lan’s words when she told them how Yue Yue slept with her own brother-in-law. She never had any faith in her own daughter.
“You! You can’t do that!” stuttered Madam Yue as she looked at Raelle.
“I, Raelle Xiang, have a reputation. I do what I say,” said Raelle. “No one can ever change my mind. And you brought it upon yourself. When my Opa went all the way to the Zhai family to make it clear to you all that Yue is part of our Xiang family and we know how to protect our family. Then who asked you to show up in front of me and ask for trouble? From this moment onwards, whatever happens, is your own doing. You should always consider the consequences before running off that cheap mouth.”
“YUE! YUE!” Madam Yue yelled out Yue’s name calling for help.
“Calling for help, are we?” asked Raelle. “But from whom? Your daughter? But do I have to remind you that Yue isn’t part of your family anymore? Isn’t she dead to you all? The one standing here is my family’s Yue. You can even find her name on the family tree. And we don’t help outsiders like you. Don’t call her name ever again. Don’t call her your daughter ever again. I consider that an insult to her name. If you ever repeated this mistake, I’m gonna pull out that tongue of yours. I might be a law-abiding citizen but guess what? Not everyone in this family is fond of law like me as well.”
It was one of those moments which made it clear that Raelle didn’t like talking but once she did start talking, no one could get a chance to say anything. She won’t give you enough time to even process before she breaks down your nervous system down with her sharp words.
And what she said was right, she always did what she said she’d do. No one could come in her way once she made her mind to do something.
