Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1014: My Sweet Mother

As always, Hyson enjoyed annoying the hell out of Zhai Yanjun. It was always fun. And he didn't think he was going to get tired of this anytime soon. Definitely, not possible!         

    

But for the first time, Hyson genuinely thought Zhai Yanjun wasn't all that bad either.      

This wasn't the reaction he was expecting from Zhai Yanjun either. He really didn't think he'd so easily accept the truth and would even be eager to take on the role of his elder brother.      

"Why is everyone so surprised by my reaction?" asked Zhai Yanjun in confusion. "Is something wrong with how I'm handling this truth? I don't think so. I love you and I love Ayi. I don't see a reason why I should be going all over the place because of this truth."     

"It's not about how much you love us," said Hyson. "Who can guarantee that you won't blame me and my mother for your broken family?"     

"I'd never," said Zhai Yanjun. "I really am not that unreasonable. Yes, I'm not very good at expressing myself but I'm not unreasonable either. And if Ayi really wanted to break my family, she wouldn't have gone into hiding for so long. And if I'm not wrong, I believe that she didn't even know she was pregnant when she left. Because she did tell me how you became her reason to live on and keep moving forward." The more he spoke, the more riled up his emotions got, "I'm getting so mad just thinking about this. She had to suffer all on her own for so long. I'm not willing to take it lying down. At this moment, not just Yue family but also my dad and I owe her so much."     

"You should calm down," said Hyson. "There is no need to get so worked up. Everything has already happened. Move on!"     

"I can't," said Zhai Yanjun. "I can't move on at least until I know who was responsible for everything. I don't know if you know this but Fai, Ayi means a lot to me. It hurts to see a sweet person like her hurting."     

"Her trials have long passed," was Hyson's response. "My mom only looks weak. If she was that weak, she wouldn't dare take on the responsibility of raising a son on her own without any support. Especially when she lost her voice too. Do you know how many doors close for you because of one small disability? Hers did too. And yet, she didn't crumble down. She survived that time. Now, she doesn't want anyone to make anything up to her. It really means nothing."     

Hyson wasn't just saying that, he actually meant it. He loved his mother the most and everyone knew that already. If his mother wanted to hold anyone accountable for her sufferings, he'd the first person to help her do it. But Yue Yue was still Yue Yue who found it all pointless because she really did pass through all her tough times.      

Now, her life was too blessed. That's what she said to her son.      

They say you'll be rewarded with blessings after trials. And she was rewarded. Her first reward was her son, then came more trials but later her son led her to the Xiang family and she finally found a family. A home to call her own. People who loved her and everything she ever wanted.     

Now, with such blessings, she hardly looked back at the past filled with tears.     

"But it means a lot to me," said Zhai Yanjun. "I really can't let this go. She is kind and she is forgiving. I'm not."     

"Who are you gonna punish?"     

"Anyone and everyone who hurt her."     

"Even if that person is your own mother?" asked Hyson.     

Zhai Yanjun was stunned for a moment before he parted his lips to say something but Hyson cut him off.     

"Before speaking, think carefully, Captain. You're a military officer. The tag of being an unfilial son won't be good on your record. Whether a parent is right and wrong, a child has no right to persecute them."     

"We are already in 21st century," said Zhai Yanjun. "You don't need to tell me all that. I know what I'm doing."     

"Actually, I don't care what you do," responded Hyson. "I'm just telling you that my mum won't like it."     

"Ayi will listen to me. Because she loves me more."     

Hyson's lips twitched, "Have I been too nice to you lately, Captain?"     

Zhai Yanjun chuckled softly, "You see, no matter how spoiled the younger ones are, the eldest child will always have a special place in the family."     

"You're not a bloody part of my family!" Hyson almost yelled but seeing the people on the set, he held himself back. This Captain was really trying to take a mile when he only offered half an inch as always. How annoying!     

"Your words don't count in this matter, little brother!"         

    

"What are you up to? Why do you seem to be enjoying it way too much?"     

"Because I am," said Zhai Yanjun. "You know the other reason why I accepted the truth so easily? Because from the moment I met you, I wished to have a little brother like you. And seeing your bond with Ayi, I always felt envious and wished to have that too. Now, I just realized that I can have it. Ayi can be my mother."     

Hyson stood up from his chair so abruptly that the chair fell back.     

"What did you just say?" asked Hyson. "You actually have eyes on my mother?"     

"Didn't I always?" inquired Zhai Yanjun.     

"This is different!" exclaimed Hyson. "What are you doing? Does your dad know about this too?"     

"He does," answered Zhai Yanjun. "But don't worry, I told him not to disturb you."     

"Oh my gosh! You actually gave him the idea to get to me through my mum? How dare you!"     

"Wow! Little brother, you really are good. You actually caught on to that with just a few words? I'm baffled."     

"Is that what I'm asking right now?"     

"Don't worry. We are a family either way. Whether my dad catches Ayi or not. You're still my little brother and Ayi is still my sweet mother. Aunts are also half mothers. I don't mind either way. But I think my dad has a chance." Without waiting for a response, he added, "Okay, I'm hanging up now. Talk to you later!"
