Chapter 421 Mistakes
Both Jiang Yue and Fu Jin’s faces were contorted as they continued to listen to Wang Ruo’s words.
"Mother... I don’t wanna be rude. But... I want to know... Are you sure about this? Please, don’t give me some lies again, Mother. I... at this point, lies can be really harmful." Jiang Yue said in a pleading tone. If her mother was still lying, then it could be devastating. She needed a plan, a proper and deliberate plan that would keep her and her loved ones safe.
"Yue, I know I have made a lot of mistakes before. But this time, I am really telling the truth. I won’t lie about something as important as this. If you are telling the truth about the Vercellos backing the Lis, then it can also be one of the reasons your father has left. Li Jun is not that dumb to fall for Gideon’s tricks. He won’t easily run off somewhere if he is not certain about things. I know him. He is not as careless as me."

The reason they coveted it was that Li Jun had a special rank in his organization. He was supposed to be the next leader before he left to look for Wang Ruo. According to her mother, Li Jun had given her that ring because he wanted her to be safe.
At that time, Li Jun had no idea about who Wang Ruo really was. All he knew was that Wang Ruo was excellent in painting and computers. Hence, he gave his ring to her, so she could do whatever she wanted with the organization’s resources, while she gave him her ring in return. With Li Jun’s ring, Wang Ruo had been able to command some of the organization’s experts. She took advantage of that opportunity and used some people to find out about what had happened during the explosion.
That was the reason she was able to find out about the kids and that the one who had ordered the explosion had something to do with the Vercellos. At that point, Wang Ruo already knew of the Vercello Family’s evil deeds. The only thing that she did not expect was for someone to deliberately follow her around after she started investigating the matter.
The only thing that had been bugging Jiang Yue was the fact that the Vercello Family seemed to hate her mother. She was supposed to be an heir. So, why did they hate her? Was it because... she did not marry the man she was supposed to?
"Mom... one more question, can you tell me the identity of the person that you were supposed to marry?" She asked curiosity laced her tone.
"It’s... Wang Bolin."
Her words seemed to strike Jiang Yue like thunder. Wang Bolin? Wang Bolin that she knew?
"But..."
"Unexpected, right?" Wang Ruo laughed. "Wang Bolin is the person that I trust the most. I will trust him with my life. I trusted him more than I trusted your father."
"He became my bodyguard to be close to me." Wang Ruo continued. "When I was working with the Military... he also joined me. He has been helping me since then... When I... After I chose to marry Li Jun... he left and went back to your grandfather."
"Does he know... everything about you and father and the organization?" Fu Jin asked. His impression of Wang Bolin was actually not that much. In fact, he found him forgettable. Someone that would disappear and almost no one would look for him.
"Yes. He does. He was a member of our organization too." Wang Ruo smiled. "Wang Bolin is my best friend."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Mother, what did the Vercello Family say when you married father?"
"They don’t know. The only thing that they know is that Wang Bolin chose to give up on leading them and accompanied me as my bodyguard. So, they did not pursue the matter. However, I was disqualified to be the heir."
"Disqualified? You mean...??? There are still other people vying for that position?"
"Of course!" Wang Ruo answered. "The Vercellos has been around for decades. It is only natural that some people want to become the Matriarch of the family."
"Mother, I have a question. Do you know why... you really need to marry the person who the Vercellos have chosen for you?" Asked Fu Jin.
"Power, Jin... that’s the only thing that the Vercellos ever wanted. More power and influence. Those people came from powerful families. They always were at the top of the food chain." Wang Ruo explained. "If... you announce your marriage, and the person who Yue was supposed to marry is really influential and want to compete, then they can easily ask someone to kill Fu Jin, so he can replace him and be Yue’s husband instead."
"I hope you understand that this is the reason I don’t want you to shine. I have tried to protect you from this type of world before," she added, before holding Jiang Yue’s hand. "Now that you already know this... I suggest you stay as low-key as possible. Wait for them to approach you and politely tell them that you are not interested in the Matriarch position."
"That way, the people who are vying for the position will not disturb you and will give you some peace." Wang Ruo said.
