Chapter 770 [Bonus chapter] Pitiful

  Zhai Yanjun’s eyes widened a little when he heard that. 

”You see, Yue Lan really liked Old Madam Yue when she was young. After all, because of her meticulous and demure nature and adding on the loyalty and indebtedness she had towards Madam Deng, Old Madam Yue did her best to become a good nanny to young Yue Lan who lacked the love and presence of her mother in her life. But it was because that Yue Lan trusted and loved Old Madam Yue so much that Madam Deng had come to a decision to get Old Madam Yue married to her own husband.”

Zhai Kuijun couldn’t tell if the decision was right or not. What he did know was that Madam Deng wasn’t all that nice either. 

”But she took a promise from Old Madam Yue. It was that once Old Madam Yue married Old Master Yue, she would not have a child of her own ever!”

Zhai Yanjun’s heart chilled when he heard that. That was a very cruel promise. 

”The worst part about this promise was that Old Madam Yue was neither interested in marrying Old Master Yue nor was she willing to give up her right to give birth to her own child in this life. But she was the weak party in this bargain. She was meant to lose from the beginning. So, in the end, she had to agree but she asked for a two years time period. She said it wasn’t right for her to marry her cousin’s husband right after her cousin’s death. In truth, she wanted to use that time to stall.”

Zhai Yanjun was feeling uncomfortable listening to this. 

”In those two years, she kept her distance from Yue Lan. She believed once she took a step back, maybe Yue Lan won’t even need a stepmother. But it didn’t work, Yue Lan fell ill and kept missing Old Madam Yue more than her own mother who was already dead at that time. But the ironic thing is, when Old Master Yue brought Old Madam Yue home as his wife and Yue Lan’s stepmother, the same girl started to hate Old Madam Yue. Who knows who told her that Old Madam Yue was having an affair with Old Master Yue when Madam Deng was alive and that’s why the poor woman wasn’t able to win her battle with cancer.”

Now, Zhai Yanjun actually understood why his mother never had anything good to say about Old Madam Yue. 

”But Dad, what does this have to do with grandmother’s hatred towards Aunt Yue?” inquired Zhai Yanjun. He understood why his mother hated his grandmother but he still didn’t get why his grandmother hated her own daughter.

”Are you not paying attention, son?” asked Zhai Kuijun. “Old Madam Yue gave a promise to her dying cousin to never have a child of her own. Most people say Yue Yue’s birth was a mistake. Old Madam Yue definitely never planned on having her own child. There was no love between her and Old Master Yue anyway. So, Yue Yue’s arrival was very unexpected. When she learned about the pregnancy, she went for an abortion immediately. During that time, Yue Lan’s attitude was softening up towards Old Madam Yue once again. But once Yue Yue came into the picture, things got worse.”

He felt so uncomfortable just talking about this mess.

”In fact, Old Madam Yue wanted to do an abortion back then. It’s just that the doctor in the hospital knew Old Master Yue and informed him. And Old Master Yue didn’t think it was right to kill an unborn child. That’s how Yue Yue finally managed to be born. But the little her didn’t even know, that’s where her tragic life was about to begin.

Yue Lan didn’t want Old Madam Yue to pay more attention to the newborn baby. She was after all young and thought that she’d lose the love that Old Madam Yue had for her. So, she always kept Old Madam Yue away from Yue Yue. And that’s why even until she was an adult, Yue Yue had never been close to her mother. But she was very close to her father. Her father was her everything. She admired him, respected him, loved him, feared him, all in all, she was a fangirl of her father. According to her, no one was better than her father.”

”And mom never liked the fact that grandfather loved Aunt Yue so much?” 

Zhai Kujun nodded in agreement to his son’s words, “Indeed. She never liked it. But since Yue Yue was 8 years younger than Yue Lan, she was like the little baby of Old Master Yue. She was soft and had her mother’s temperament. She was an obedient and very well-behaved child. I don’t think anyone could hate her. But Yue Lan had to compete in everything with her.”

”Mom really loves to compete,” commented Zhai Yanjun.

”In fact, she never should have,” said Zhai Kuijun. “There was no need for competition at all. Because from the beginning, Old Madam Yue loved Yue Lan more. Even if she didn’t give birth to her, she raised her from a young. So, even when she gave birth to her own daughter, all she felt was guilty that she couldn’t keep the promise. And because of that guilt, Yue Yue was ignored. As for Old Master Yue, even though he loved Yue Yue, he loved Yue Lan even more. After all, he really loved Madam Deng. Marrying Old Madam Yue was just a compromise. Yue Lan was the result of love, Yue Yue wasn’t. But maybe because Old Master Yue knew that he didn’t love Old Madam Yue, he tried to love Yue Yue even more.”

”Then don’t you think Aunt Yue Yue was very pitiful?”

”What does it matter if I think so?” retorted Zhai Kuijun. “The person involved never thought she was pitiful at all.” He looked into his son’s eyes and told him, “Yue’er never thought she was the pitiful one at all.”
