Chapter 107 - She felt cheated (1/2)
In Southside Villas the next day, Yun Xuan was bawling her eyes out in Wan Jia's arms.
”Wanwan, are you really sure?”
The girl was finding it really hard to believe it when the 'virtous and honest' image of her father came crambling down in a flash. Wan Jia understood that feeling the most. After all, their situation was a little similar. Having a loving father since your childhood then suddenly finding out he wasn't who you thought he was, it was the worst feeling.
Although hers was a different case of being abandoned while Yun Xuan's was that of feeling decieved, the feeling was more or less similar.
She didn't even know how to coax her. ”I'm so sorry, but I know Aotian wouldn't unreasonably kill people.” Saving someone's life then killing them, how was it logical?
”I feel so horrible. I respected him ever since ha became my father. I feel cheated.” she cried.
Wan Jia rubbed her back lightly. Although what she was going to say was quite hurtful, it was about time Yun Xuan started learning the truth. Otherwise, wouldn't she feel even worse if they all lied to her and that man did something to her in the long run?”Xuan, he never lied to you. He never told you he was a good person who didn't have a single bloodstain in his hands. It was all in your head.”
Yun Xuan stopped sobbing. Wanwan was right. He truly never mentioned being good and all that, she just had that impression on her own. However, it still hurt. Is there anyone who announces themselves as a bad person to others? I wouldn't either.
The sobbing girl slowly calmed down and her speech became coherent. ”Wanwan, help me find an apartment.”
”Eh? Why do you want to find an apartment?”
”I want to move out. How can I stay under the same roof with a vicious person?”
Wan Jia couldn't help but sigh. Vicious people? If you call him vicious for only one crime, what will you call him when you learn about all he has done?
Still, she stopped her. ”You cannot move out.”
”Why?” That would be torture.
”Think about it, he commits a crime then a few days later you want to move out, wouldn't he suspect your motives? Do you want to die?”
”But it's dangerous to live with him! He's already back at home. How will I even breath in that house?” Let alone breathe. Will she even be allowed to exist?
Wan Jia didn't know how exactly to say it withiut really saying it. ”You should put on an act.”
”What act?”
”Xuan, you don't know any single thing about what happened. Not even a punctuation mark in between the sentences. Feign complete ignorance and you will be safe for now. He will not feel threatened if you know nothing. You can get married soon and move out as a married woman.”
