1024 Punishment
“Damn, your daughter-in-law is not coming slow,” commented Zhai Kuijun after he got over the shock.
Shui Koshing gave him a proud look saying, “Of course, whose daughter-in-law is that?”
Zhai Kuijun gave him a disdainful look, “You’re really... I have no words.”
“You’re just jealous,” said Shui Koshing as he stopped paying attention to Zhai Kuijun. He was more interested in seeing his daughter-in-law’s valiant side. Oh, she was such a cool daughter-in-law. He wanted to applaud right now. There was no way around it, his daughter-in-law was just that good.
“Call the security,” said Raelle and the maid hurriedly went to call the security. Once the security from the gate rushed over, they looked at Raelle and shuddered for some reason. “Are you all hired for fun? What are you getting paid for? How can you even let just anyone come in? Isn’t this neglecting your duty?”
The security team on duty look at Madam Yue and then looked at Raelle before they lowered their heads and tactfully accepted their mistake. Arguing would only make Raelle more upset and they already knew that. So, their only chance for survival was to truthfully accept that they were wrong.
“It is our mistake,” they said. “We should have been more careful.”
Raelle looked at them in silence for a moment and this silence was actually nerve racking for the people around them. Finally, she said, “Since it’s your first mistake, I’ll let it slide. But next time, I won’t be this nice. Now, throw this woman out then go and get your punishment.”
“Yes, Missy!”
.....
All of them gathered around Madam Yue and politely but with a stern attitude said, “This way, old lady.”
Madam Yue was conflicted about what to do. She didn’t want to leave because she didn’t even get to speak to Yue and didn’t achieve her goal but she didn’t want to stay as well when she looked at Raelle whose words were tearing her down. She didn’t know what to do.
Suddenly, Yue Yue stepped over and stopped them.
Madam Yue looked at her hopefully but Yue Yue didn’t even look at her, she looked at the maid beside her and made a few hand signs which the maid interpreted for Madam Yue, “I’ll be the voice of Mistress Yue from this moment on.”
Yue Yue then looked at her mother and continued to make hand signs that the maid continued to interpret for her, “I think I made this very clear last time that I want nothing to do with you or your family. Is it that difficult to understand? Or you’re looking down on me just because I can’t speak.”
Raelle’s aura of oppression burst out once she heard the last sentence and turned the burnt of her rage towards Madam Yue who took a step back instinctively.
Yue Yue smiled at Raelle and held her hand as she smiled at her.
When she looked back at her mother, her expression changed again as she continued, “It wasn’t me who went to provoke Yue Lan, she came to me. I don’t even wanna hear her name in my life much less see her. You think she is all that great then keep her. Stop being an eyesore to me all the time. I’ve run out of the kindness and compassion for you. I used to feel bad for you but now, I don’t. Now, I pity you.”
Madam Yue was rooted to her spot as she heard all that and looked at Yue Yue’s indifference.
Yue Yue pointed towards Zhai Kuijun, “He was my best friend. I met him first. If I wanted to snatch him from Yue Lan, I wouldn’t have shared everything with her to win him over. You think he fell in love with Yue Lan? No, he fell in love with the illusion that Yue Lan created after knowing what kind of a girl he liked. She was never that girl and she could never be. What gives you the right to question mine and his relationship? Who are you again? Because I don’t have a mother like you.”
Even Zhai Kuijun was surprised since he didn’t think Yue Yue would say all that.
“Lastly, you said you’ll be kicked out of the Yue family? Oh, poor you!” Yue Yue stopped to give a look to the maid who was acting as her voice right now and felt like giving her a raise. This girl was even an expert at expressions. Yue Yue shook her head to focus on things at hand first. “I believe my father would never let that happen. No matter what, he is still the patriarch of the family. It isn’t Yue Lan’s turn to decide anything. And even if it is her turn, don’t worry. As my Raelle take care of your maternal clan’s arrogance, Yue Lan will also lose her wings and fall on the ground. Just give her a reminder that once she falls on the ground, I won’t even have to do anything because there’d be plenty of people wanting to stomp her under their feet.”
After saying that, Yue Yue smiled contently and stepped back as she gestured, “Now, you can throw her out. And please, don’t show yourself again. I don’t wanna deal with you anymore. We have nothing to do with each other for far too long now. So, drop the act. I don’t fall for it now. I’m not blind anymore even if I’m a mute. I’ll never be blind enough to fall for your act ever again.”
With the wave of her hand, the security dragged Madam Yue’s frozen figure out of their sights. Watching her leave, Yue Yue really felt a little pity for her but more than that, she felt pity for herself for having such a mother. What crime did she commit in her past life to even end up with such a mother? It was truly a shame to call her a mother.
