Chapter 33 - Retract My Vow (1/2)
--- Wei Wan's room ---
Wei Wan's health improved efficiency, but the blemishes due to whips and slaps were not yet disappearing from her face. So Wei Xing brought some skin experts for the best cream, and as soon as Wei Wai applied them, not only it recuperates her bruised marks but also makes her skin gleam. After a couple of days rest, she can go back to school.
”How are you feeling Wan Wan?” Kuai Hua, the birth mother of Wei Wan and Mistress of Wei Xing, asked her with concern.
Wei Wan wore her nightgown and sat before a mirror to comb her hair, ”a lot better, that old man was quite aggressive.” She gazed at her reflection and brushed the half-blemish black spot, ”that monster.” Wei Wan only felt disgusting about considering him as a father.
Kuai Hua regretted her past deeds immensely, she believed by having Wan Wan, she will be acknowledged, as his legal wife but it's not a fairytale, ”Wan Wan, I retract my vow. Let's leave Wei and live a peaceful life.” Kuai Hua realized how atrocious 'Wei' would be if their expectation failed, and she didn't want to sacrifice her daughter in revenge.
”You got scared?” Wei Wan raised up from her spot and crouched down before her mother, ”Look at me.” Kuai Hua reluctantly raised her eyes, which was already teared up, Wei Wan dried out her tears with her thumb and said, ”Mom, you are my irreplaceable treasure. I would accomplish anything you ask.”
Wei Wan's voice amplified from tenderness to gruffness, as she strengthens her hold, ”but, I won't relinquish my Wei. I am the rightful inheritor of Wei so I wouldn't even think of killing you for my dėsɨrė.”
Wei Wan stroked her cheek fondly and warned her, ”instead of provoking my anger do something useful.” Then returned to groom herself for sleep, as for Kuai Hua left her with a heavy heart. The trusted servant girl of Wei Wan, who came to report saw everything with puzzlement, ”Young Miss, she is leaving.” Wei Wan was applying the cream on her face, and didn't mind to stop her mother, ”leave it, she can't afford the status I hoped for, and only 'Wei' can ensure it, so I won't let her ruin it,” as she grinned evilly on her reflection. The servant girl too smiled along and then provided the information she gathered, ”Young Miss, your guess was right, Wei Chen double-crossed with them.”
Wei Wan lip curled up left, ”Just tail him for now, we might need him later.”
---- Li's Villa with Li Zhi ----
Li Zhi, the Master of Li, remained in a place of old tradition room, ”Dad, you called for me.”
”Have a seat,” Li Wang, the Head of Li and Father of Li Zhi, didn't raise his head from tea and continued, ”did you talked with First Elder of Yue?” Li Zhi knew it was fruitless to hide things from his Father, ”got occupied with meetings, but I will manage time to get his appointment soon.”
Li Wang neatly lifted his cup to smell the aroma, ”I heard that Young Master of Yue got the billion-dollar project.”
Li Zhi's face wore a perplexing expression as his intonation became puzzled, ”I heard it too.” And then there was a knock, while his Father kept tranquil, ”GrandFather, you asked for my presence,” a young lady like a jade statue appeared.
”Come in, Biyu,” GrandFather Li's aged voice called her in, as Li Zhi observed the prevailing situation, ”Why Biyu is here?” GrandFather Li's made his face hard stone, ”your idiotic son created enough racks due to that wh***.” Li Zhi looked at Li Biyu, ”Biyu, What is GrandFather means?” everyone Li family knew about Li Rong's infatuation on ill-blood Wei Wan and Grandfather Li considered Wei's more obnoxious, also he treated Wei Lan(Matriarch of Wei) as muck.
After getting consent from her GrandFather to speak, Li Biyu opened her mouth, ”I made a background-check about the woman who accompanied Rong during Yue's feast and found her to be a pal or vassal of Miss. Wan in WAX, and a week before that, Rong booked a custom-made gown in Wei Wan's name, here is the receipt for that,” she placed the paper before her father. Then she glanced at her GrandFather and said, ”I monitored Yue Xiang's call record and found, apart from investors, he has another caller in his contact. But I was unable to track down the Id, forgive me, GrandFather.”
GrandFather Li's eyebrow flashed is displeasure, ”check out that this unknown caller.” Right after getting the new order, Li Biyu left the room. As for Li Zhi, he hung his head down with anger and balled-up his fist tightly, ”I will give Li Rong, the family disciplinary punishment, and restain him from meeting her.” Before he can leave the Elder gave his an order, ”Let me contact the First Elder of Yue, better you stay out of it.” Li Zhi clutched his hands in annoyance, due to his useless son, ”Alright, Dad.”
