Master's Untamed Wife-Chapter 999: Willing To Let Go

Zhai Kuijun was in a particularly good mood after knowing that Elder Xiang had plans of discussing the future of Zhai Yanjun and Xiang Wai. What did it mean? It meant, he actually approved of their relationship and that was a big deal. He didn't expect his son to actually get this approval so soon.

But recalling how Zhai Yanjun was almost like a fish in the water whenever he was with the Xiang family, it wasn't that hard to believe. It only meant that his son truly had an affinity with that family.

He was stoked to know that he was about to become in-laws with his best friend.

But his good mood was short-lived. As soon as he went upstairs, he could hear the voice of Elder Yue talking on the phone.

"And is it my fault? Did I ask you to go and look for trouble? How many times have I told you to rein in your temper? You can't afford to offend just anyone. Some people you can't touch. But did you ever listen?"

Zhai Kuijun didn't even have to ask to know that the one on the phone with Elder Yue was his dearest daughter, Yue Lan. Who else had such a big temper in the Yue family except for that woman who had princess syndrome or something? He was very careless about this matter. But what got his attention was that Yue Lan actually provoked someone she couldn't afford.

It almost made him laugh out loud. The woman who gave him heart disease wanted to see her suffer as well.

"So you're saying it all happened because of Yue Yue? So, what? What am I supposed to do about it? She isn't a part of our family any longer. Did you think she is still at your mercy? Did you really think she is still the same girl who was scared of you? Or she was still as helpless as ever? But guess what? She isn't. She also has people who love her and who know how to protect her. Before going over to mess with her, you should have thought about the consequences." f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

Zhai Kuijun who had taken some steps to walk away stopped and backtracked when he heard Yue Yue's name being mentioned. Hmmm, so it meant that Yue Lan got in trouble because of Yue Yue? Oh, that's a first.

He didn't even realize how happy he looked to hear this news.

"Well, I don't care. It's your own mess, go deal with it yourself. You're old enough to make your own decisions. I am old now. I have neither time nor the energy to clean your mess all the time. Or, go look for your mother's family who inflated your ego and made you feel invincible. If they hadn't stroked your ego, you'd know that you're nothing. Some people can trample on you like an ant. Now, congratulations you met exactly that kind of a person."

After saying that, Elder Yue hung up the call and rubbed the space between his brows tiredly. He was really tired. He was already not in the best of health and his daughter didn't even care. All she cared about was that she was wronged. And looking for him to avenge her. He had long run out of patience for this daughter. He only bears with her for her dead mother and because of the pressure of her mother's family.

But he was already dying now. He didn't care about anything anymore.

Only after seeing the indifference in his youngest daughter's eyes did he realize what he had lost. When she wasn't around, he was still hopeful but seeing that indifference really tore his heart. He also realized that Yue Yue also ran out of forgiveness for him. She always was the one who understood him and she was so thoughtful but where did it get her?

It was good that she ran out of patience and forgiveness. It was better this way. At least, it meant she started living for herself rather than the people around her who had used her patience to their own benefit all her life.

Zhai Kuijun looked how Elder Yue seemed haggard right now. Even his own father seemed younger than Elder Yue. Not only that, even Elder Xiang who had been sick for years looks healthier than Elder Yue. It only proved what kind of life he had been living. In fact, having a daughter like Yue Lan was indeed enough to cut off a couple of decades of your life span.

Zhai Kuijun sighed.

That sigh caught Elder Yue's attention and he turned to look at it. Being caught, Zhai Kuijun didn't panic but only gave him a nod before preparing to leave.

However, Elder Yue stopped him, "Kuijun, come here."

Zhai Kuijun stopped and looked at Elder Yue. He stood there in silence as if contemplating before he finally came to sit with Elder Yue.

"How are you, Elder Yue?"

"Same," answered Elder Yue as he picked up the tea cup and with one hand lifted the lid of the cup and while pushing the tea leaves with the lid, he took a sip of the tea. It instantly gave him a calming feeling and he could momentarily forget all his worries. Even if it was just a moment, it was worth it. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

Zhai Kuijun didn't think it was the same. He could tell that Elder Yue's situation wasn't looking good. He was actually scared that something might happen to him. It wasn't an unfounded thought. He was familiar with how Elder Yue's health started going down from the moment Yue Yue left. After that, he never fully recovered and only got worse and worse.

He had been holding on for all these years perhaps because he really wanted to find Yue Yue. And now that he knows she is alive and happy, perhaps, he finally was willing to let go.

The thought startled Zhai Kuijun and he stared at Elder Yue even more meaningfully.
