Without any second thought, Long Jie ran towards the living room but to add to his dismay, Zhenyi was not in the living room along with others. His gaze wandered across the room and noticed that his grandmother was missing too. And it didn't take a genius to guess both of them were together.
"First brother, " Long Yuan was running after Long Jie as so to inform, what he wanted to tell him in the first place, but his brother didn't let him finish off his sentence.
"You better talk now, Yuan," Long Jie said, frustration and annoyance lacing his tone.
"You didn't even let me complete what I was saying," Yuan grumbled in the complaint "
He paused and then added. "I was saying that your wife started another battle here with the ladies and it's difficult for me to babysit such a trouble maker."
"Call my wife trouble maker again and then see ---
" Nope, I will call her a devil now." Long Yuan grinned.
Long Jie's eyes flashed with a warning. " I heard your wound has yet to heal properly. You don't want an injured leg too, do you, little brother? "
Zhenyi had shot Yuan in the arm when she had blown their base. Heck, she even pointed a gun at him, if not for his quick reflexes, the darn girl would have shot him in the head and, he was sure she wouldn't even have flinched. Fiance or not.
Long Yuan shook his head in dissatisfaction. "You are whipped, First brother. Welcome to the club of whipped husband, and seeing your progress I can...not very proudly announce you will surpass Wei, the leader of wife slave club soon ."
"I heard Wei. What are you talking about me, Yuan and Brother? " Long Wei appeared out of nowhere and slapped Yuan's injured arm causing him to wince.
"Ouch."
"He called you whipped. Leader of wife slave club to be precise. " Long Jie snitched on Long Yuan directly.
"Did You, Yuan? Well, even if you did, I will take it as a compliment. Not everyone gets a beautiful and intelligent wife like mine. You are happy with plastic beauties, what can I do." Long Wei shrugged.
Long Jie laughed at Long Yuan's distress. Why was his brother so hell-bent on marrying that plastic beauty? It was not like he loved her.
"You will not want me to tell the devil that you once said she can see someone's plastic surgeon or you don't need to see your ghastly looking wife every day, first brother? " Long Yuan raised his brow devilishly. He inwardly grinned at the thought of watching his first brother suffer at the hands of his devilish sister-in-law.
"He didn't." Long Wei gaped at Long Jie then at Long Yuan. There was no doubt Zhenyi was a beautiful and attractive woman, but she was equally dangerous and lethal.
Long Yuan nodded. "He certainly did."
"Stop calling my wife names, Yuan. You know what happened to the guy at the club. She chopped his tongue for calling her something he shouldn't."
Of course, they knew what happened to that man. The news was spread in the Underworld to indicate the authority of the Xins, especially Xin Zhenyi's. No one after that incident would dare to loot from Xins.
Long Jie ignored Yuan's nonsense and snarled when he remembered how he failed to accomplish his task.
"But now where is my wife? Didn't I tell you not to let her out of sight until the time I came back? Where is she now? "
Yuan gulped. He committed a mistake and would certainly be punished. "She was here in the living room, but then I went to call you when the quarrel between her and mom started."
Long Jie said with an expressionless face. "You failed, Yuan. Get out of my sight."
"First brother, don't start another fight with mom. Mom will go to the extreme to trouble Zhenyi and her being the devil that she certainly is, will make everyone's lives hell adding more to dad's problem. And grandfather is looking for a slight mistake to dethrone you."
"She is in the garden with Grandma." Long Wei told Jie.
Long Jie sighed in relief. She truly was a trouble maker, causing him to worry for no reason. What if someone here tried to harm her? Couldn't she understand that many in this family were looking for a chance to eliminate her? Couldn't she see how would he live without her if something happened to her?
Long Jie strolled towards the living room to go to his wife and then leave for their home straight.
On the way out, Song Lily stopped him, " Where are you going, Jie? "
"Back home." He replied her curtly.
Song Lily didn't listen to him and kept on speaking. "You are already home. I have set your room and the daily necessities for Zhenyi have been arranged. Go change, I will ask someone to call her in. "
Long Jie sighed in annoyance. He was too tired to withstand this woman's drama. "I said I'm going home. Which word do you not understand? "
Song Lily was adamant about making him stay at the mansion. If she wanted Long Shaoming to reconsider his decision, she had to convince Long Jie to reside at the family home. Only then she could show her husband how unfit Long Jie and Zhenyi were for the role.
"Long Jie, you are married now. In the past I let you do whatever you want, you played around with women I understand. But now you belong to this place. This mansion. I will ask someone tomorrow to get your stuff from your place."
Long Jie took a deep breath and looked at her before speaking. "Can you stop now? You see, I had dinner with all of you. Even though I'm not diabetic, I can't seem to digest these unusual sweet words of yours, mother."
Song Lily and Long Jie never shared a harmonious relationship, and now their relationship was on the verge of extinction. " I'm your mother, Long Jie. Talk to me with respect which I deserve as a mother. I had raised you for thirty years. "
"Well, I and Yuan have been motherless since the time we were born. We were raised by the expensive nannies that the dearest father had arranged. "
Long Jie had an urge to scoff at her for calling herself a mother. Mothers are never biased. Mothers do not leave their kids alone when they needed her the most. And mothers loved their kids beyond limits.
"Do not waste your time, mother. I will not live in this rotten place. If I could I would have set fire to this place a long ago."
"That bitch is turning you against your family. " Song Lily spat.
Long Jie chuckled at the situation. " We were always against each other, mother. Since the beginning, we were the two rivals fighting an unknown battle for some reason none of us remember and for yet a winner to be pronounced."
"Good Night, mother. Tell my dearest dad his son won't come back no matter how many tempting baits he throws."
Long Jie left the room and came out looking for his missing wife. He had an urge to tell Zhenyi to shot Yuan's another arm for leaving her alone between the wolves. Then again, he needs to find her first.
There she was, sitting on the chair with his grandmother, talking and smiling. She looked even more beautiful with genuine emotions swimming in her eyes. There was much more to her than met his naked eyes.
As happy as he was that the two important women of his life liked each other, he still wished to take her away from his grandmother at least for now.
But his happiness didn't last long, he saw his grandmother giving that locket to his wife. Something snapped inside his body, he had an urge to run and snatch that locket off her hand.
Of all the things his grandmother could give Zhenyi, why did she give the locket to her?
Why did she give that pendant to Zhenyi? He had heard the significance of the particular pendant. She could use the coin attached to the pendant anytime to leave the family and, no one could stop her.
Long Jie saw his grandmother coming towards him and patted his arm lightly.
"Why?" A word left his mouth before he could stop himself.
She just smiled in return and touched him again before leaving.
But he did hear her last words before leaving him standing in the gallery.
"You will not know the value of staying if you have no way of leaving. I gave her the means to leave, you give her the reason to stay. "
A reason for her to stay.
And what was that reason?
