So people didn't care what her surna was or what bloodline she had. Because that could never define her worth.
Even soone like Raelle who didn't understand feelings was soone who cared about family the most.
This family made her realize the real aning of ho. And only then did she realize why she never felt like the Yue Manor was her ho. She always felt like she wasn't needed there. No one needed her there. She was like an invisible person in that house.
There was no drama in the Xiang family. No one sched against each other. They were all very straightforward. If they don't like you, you'd really know they don't like you because they weren't two-faced people. They couldn't hide their dislike. But likewise, they couldn't hide their likes either. So, if they really cared about you, you'd know what you an to each and every one of them.
Her statent that she found a ho was really unexpected to Zhai Kuijun but he could tell she was being honest.
'And if you want to know how have I been in all these years, then trust , I have been very good. Not only did I have the freedom in my life, but I also didn't have to walk on eggshells. I didn't have to cater to soone's mood and I didn't have to look for anyone's acceptance.'
Zhai Kuijun gave her a deep look and nodded his head, "I'm glad you found a place to call ho."
Because he knew how much she wanted a ho.
"And finding a family like Xiang's is a bonus," he said half-jokingly. Who didn't know that Xiang's were extrely protective of their own people? Who had the guts to even stand against the Xiang family? It's because the Xiang family never liked to play tricks that people didn't want to offend them. But then again, no one from this family played by the rules either.
Yue Yue nodded in agreent, 'I know. I found the best family to call ho.' She was actually a little proud. Her son was really her biggest blessing. Not only did he give her the courage to stand on her own, but he also beca the reason why she t the Xiang family.
Sotis, she even wondered how she got this fortunate. Even when the Xiang family hadn't moved back to the country, she never felt alone. Whether it was Elder Xiang or Mu Chenyan, they never let her feel like she was all on her own.
Zhai Kuijun didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. Although he was curious about how she ended up with the Xiang family, he was even more curious about sothing else.
"You haven't told why you had to leave the Yue Clan?" he asked her.
Yue Yue bit her bottom lip. That was a question she didn't like answering. She never even gave the right answer to Mu Chenyan. It was like she never even wanted to repeat what happened that night. If possible, she wanted to forget about it all. Because her biggest fear was associated with that night.
She was trying to contemplate whether to tell him the truth and co clean? But she couldn't bring herself to do so. She didn't want him to think of herself differently. That was her biggest fear that he'd be disgusted and just like Yue Lan, he'd also think that she was a scheming and a hateful person.
No, she couldn't tell him the truth.
'I did a mistake.'
"What kind of mistake?" he frowned.
'I fell in love with the wrong guy.' Well, that was the truth for sure. 'And my family couldn't accept that love. In the end, I had to leave.'
Zhai Kuijun understood her enough to know that she was telling the truth. And that was the reason, Yue Yue didn't try to make excuses. She knew he'd be able to tell if she was lying or not. So, she decided to keep her words vague.
"Who was he?" he inquired. He was genuinely curious what kind of a guy was so unacceptable to the Yue Clan that they threw their own daughter out of the house? "And was it enough to throw you out of the family?"
Yue Yue shook her head, 'It wasn't enough. It's just that as an unmarried woman, I lost my chastity and along with it, I lost the face of the whole Yue Clan. How could they accept a scourge like ?'
Zhai Kuijun already knew that the Yue Clan was pedantic even now. More so, they were back then. But he still wasn't able to understand the whole situation. It's not like it was a feudal society or sothing. How could they refuse to accept their own daughter just because she lost her so-called chastity?
"Where did you go?" he asked another question because he could tell she wasn't telling him the whole truth. He didn't doubt her words but he knew she wasn't telling the whole truth.
'I went to live in a faraway and a little-known village. It was remote and completely cut off from society. It was a good place to hide.'
She even smiled about that because she really thought it was a good place to hide. And if she wasn't worried about her son's future, she'd have stayed in that village for good. It was a beautiful village with mostly simple people. And she had a very simple life in between those simple people. But it was fulfilling to live in such a peaceful and serene place.
From those words, it could be seen how much she didn't want to be found.
"Then you really know how to hide," he comnted.
Yue Yue smiled at him, 'I also didn't know I had this talent.' Of course, she was joking with him about sothing so serious. And it wasn't like her at all. But then again, a lot of things weren't like before anymore. She wasn't soone who was afraid to speak out her thoughts.
The only thing that scared her was the truth of Hyson's birth.
