Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1195: Come To Terms

"Why are you really here?" asked Tang Hebe. "I have a feeling that you didn't just come to see Justin today."        

    

"Intuition," remarked Raelle. "It's quite spot-on."    

Tang Hebe took a deep breath, "So, you really have another purpose? What is it?"    

Raelle rubbed her nose, "If I say I came to hurt you?"    

"Hurt me?" asked Tang Hebe. "You always come to do exactly that."    

Raelle offered her a practiced smile that actually gave Tang Hebe chills.      

"You still wanna hear it?"    

"Yes," answered Tang Hebe. "I do want to know what your purpose is for being here today."    

"Let's do it another day," said Raelle. "You seem sad enough already. Even if I like jabbing at you here and there, my purpose isn't to break you down at all. So, let's let it go this time around."    

Tang Hebe's brows furrowed up in confusion. She didn't think Raelle would actually not say her purpose just because she was sad already. She had to say Raelle was a thoughtful person.      

"Why wait?" asked Tang Hebe. "It isn't all that new to me. And I'm not that sad either."    

"Then why did you cry a bucket just now?"      

"That can't be helped," answered Tang Hebe. "It was my last desperation. I had to shed some tears to mourn it."    

Raelle tapped on the table as she looked at Tang Hebe carefully. She was considering her options at the moment. She didn't want to rush or anything. She usually wouldn't care so much but she could see the pain in Tang Hebe's eyes right now. It really looked like she was mourning the loss of something.    

Maybe it was the loss of hope and expectations. Maybe it was the loss of her family. Whatever it was, it was truly hurting her right now.    

"When did you become so careful with your words?" asked Tang Hebe. "I don't think you can hurt me more than I'm already hurt right now. Don't worry about me. I think I still got some drive."    

"It's not a good idea to act strong," said Raelle.    

"I'd still like to act strong in front of you. I'm already very weak when I stand in front of you."    

Raelle gave her a look, "You're still competing with me?"    

"No. It's just that it's not a good feeling to see someone younger than me being stronger than me. It reminds me how useless I am. And I don't wanna be that useless. Didn't I tell you that before?"    

"Well, you asked for it," said Raelle. "Don't tell me later that I always come for your throat."    

"Fine. Fine. I won't blame you," agreed Tang Hebe.    

"Do you remember I asked you once what would you do if Justin's biological father came to you?"      

Tang Hebe's body froze once she heard that question. She remembers that question. When Raelle made that hypothesis back then, she was so scared that she almost fainted. But surprisingly, this time around she wasn't all that shocked. Maybe it was because Raelle had already prepared for this all. Because unconsciously, that question had been on her mind since the time Raelle brought it up.    

"You found his father?" asked Tang Hebe.    

Raelle nodded her head, "I did."        

    

"Who is it?"      

"Someone very unexpected," answered Raelle. "So unexpected that even I was a little taken aback."    

"That unexpected that it could shake Raelle Xiang?" asked Tang Hebe as she raised her brows in surprise. "Now, I'm even more curious. Who is this person?"    

"You've met him," told Raelle.    

"It's so not like you to drag a conversation like this. Just get to the point. Who is it?"    

Raelle pointed towards her balcony with her chin and Tang Hebe's eyes widened in shock.      

"Your brother?"    

Raelle nodded her head.    

"You mean, Xiang Weimin?"    

Raelle nodded again.    

"No way!"    

"Yes way," was Raelle's response.    

"No," Tang Hebe shook her head. "How can this happen? How? How is it possible? That's Xiang Weimin. I heard he is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force. He is such an upright man. How is it possible that he had a son and abandoned him?"    

"He didn't abandon him though," answered Raelle. "Now, remember I told you to suppose that the father doesn't even know about the son?"    

Tang Hebe slumped back on the couch feeling drained. She didn't cry or make a scene or anything. She just sat there in shock. What to think or how to react? There was nothing on her mind. Only, one sentence was ringing in her ears repeatedly, 'Justin is Xiang Weimin's son. Justin is Xiang Weimin's son. Justin is Xiang Weimin's son.'    

It was like a mantra that was hypnotizing her.    

Raelle clicked her fingers in front of Tang Hebe who had even forgotten to blink.      

"You still here?"    

"I think so," replied Tang Hebe in a daze. "I'm just trying to process this information and come to terms with it."    

"How is that going?"    

"It's very difficult for me to process it!" Tang Hebe almost screamed. "No. How it is possible? How can we go round and round and at the end, my son turned out to have the Xiang family's blood in his veins?"    

"You have a problem with the Xiang family's blood?"    

"Your focus is wrong here, Raelle! I suddenly feel like you're meant to be my nemesis in this life."    

"Just this alone is enough to make you feel like we are nemesis? Why don't you think positively? Maybe we are just meant to have such a fateful connection?"    

Tang Hebe gave her a look, "You're the one talking about fate?"        

    

"Why? Is it that strange?"    

"Very." Before Raelle could say anything else, Tang Hebe held up her hand and said, "Please, don't speak. Don't say anything at all. Give me a moment of peace. I want to stay quiet. I want to think about it all in silence. Don't disturb me. I haven't come to terms with it yet."    

"Okay," agreed Raelle and stayed quiet.
