Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 775 Blind Feelings

　　Zhai Yanjun didn't say anything to defend his father in front of his grandfather. He didn't think there was anything he had to say right now. No matter what he said, it'd be pointless. His mind was in turmoil anyway. He didn't think he'd be able to speak rationally right now. He might also lose control of his emotions like his father did earlier.

　　So, after knowing that his grandfather was doing fine, he left the guestroom. He recalled the conversation between his grandparents and snickered. It seemed even if they knew the truth, they turned a blind eye to everything. 

　　Did they say they were protecting his aunt? 

　　He sneered at that because he wasn't able to think like that at all. How could he? He couldn't seem to accept that his own grandparents were so biased. And he didn't even know his mother was so obsessed with her position as the heiress of the Yue Clan. Was it really that much of a big deal? Was all that worth it? Ruining someone's whole life for the sake of your own glory and to protect your own interests?

　　Zhai Yanjun thought he shouldn't even be surprised to know all this about his mother. After all, the woman who didn't pity her own son was capable of anything. 

　　But if she hated him missing his Aunt Yue so much, then she should have tried to be a better mother to him instead of locking him in the basement for days! She didn't even mind traumatizing her own son, how could she mind hurting a sister whom she was never even ready to accept?

　　"Should we talk to Kuijun?" 

　　Zhai Yanjun came back to reality when he heard his paternal grandma's voice while going back to his room.

　　"What are we gonna talk to him about?" questioned Grandpa Zhai. "Don't even think about it. Kuijun is old enough to make his own decisions. Don't get involved in his matters."

　　Grandma Zhai sounded displeased, "When did I try to get involved in his matters? I'm just worried about him. He has never lost his temper like this before."

　　"Everyone has a bottom line," said Grandpa Zhai. "For years, he had been putting up with his wife's accusations. The worst kind of prison for a person is a home that is not peaceful. And from the time Kuijun got married, he had never been in peace. Isn't that the reason you had always been dissatisfied with your daughter-in-law? Yue Lan always found a reason to argue with Kuijun and that's why you never liked her."

　　"How can I?" asked Grandma Zhai looking sad. "My son was such a bright man. She became the eclipse of his life. He used to laugh so much but after marriage, he became so gloomy and reserved. Did he really seem like the son we raised?" She tsked to herself, "He was supposed to further his studies and become a professor but chose to be a businessman just because his wife wanted wealth and glory."

　　"Keep your voice down," said Grandpa Zhai. "Don't let Jun'er hear you. He'll think we are bad-mouthing his mother."

　　"The only reason I put up with that crazy woman had been my grandson. If she didn't give birth to Jun'er, I'd have long thrown her out of my son's life even if I had to become the evil mother-in-law."

　　Grandpa Zhai chuckled softly and rubbed his wife's shoulders, "Okay, okay, my fierce tigress, you don't need to tell me that. I know already why you put up with Yue Lan for so long."

　　"I raised a good son, I wonder how became blind," lamented Grandma Zhai. 

　　"He is not blind," said Grandpa Zhai helplessly. 

　　"What else is he? If he wasn't blind, why fall for that woman? If he had to choose someone from the Yue family, why not choose Yue Yue instead? Even if she was young, she was sensible."

　　"Shhh!" Grandpa Zhai covered his wife's mouth to stop her from continuing. "Would you stop talking about that?"

　　Grandma Zhai pushed his hand away, "Why can't I? Yue Yue isn't even here but they are all still treating her like a curse. Is she the curse who ruined my son's marriage? No! She did nothing."

　　Grandpa Zhai sighed, "Yes, she did nothing. All she did was love our son silently."

　　"It wasn't a crime!" retorted Grandma Zhai. "That poor girl paid a very huge price for her feelings. And she didn't deserve any of that!"

　　Zhai Yanjun leaned against the wall with his head lowered. No one could tell what was on his mind. He stood motionless until he heard that his Aunt Yue loved his father. His fists clenched instinctively.

　　"If those feelings were the reason she had to become homeless, then you're right. She paid a very huge price for her one-sided love," agreed Grandpa Zhai with a sigh. "Keep it to yourself though. Even Kuijun doesn't know that Yue Yue loved him."

　　"Isn't that why I said, he is blind?" retorted Grandma Zhai. "He is my son but he is an idiot. Even today, he chose to lose his temper at an old woman. Tsk. Can't he remember that even if they are no longer his in-laws, they are still Jun'er's grandparents? He still had to maintain a cordial relationship with them for the sake of Jun'er. I don't want my grandson to worry about these family issues. He already has so many worries at work." She became agitated as she added, "Do you realize, if he got distracted at his job because of all these issues, anything can happen to him? God forbid, bullets have no eyes. And even if we are not at war, it's not like we live in a real peaceful world."

　　"Stop speaking so negatively. Nothing will happen to our grandson," assured Grandpa Zhai.

　　Zhai Yanjun pushed himself off of the wall and pushed his hands into his pocket. He took out his phone and looked at the photo he was using as his screensaver. It was a selfie he clicked with his Aunt Yue.
