Master's Untamed Wife

1324  Not Pure Evil

"I must say though," went on Raelle. "You all are wasting my time by talking about these things."

"Raelle, this is so romantic," said Xiang Wai.

"That's stalking," was Raelle's response. "I did not see anything romantic in that."

"Even if it was stalking, it was done so beautifully."

"Just because you added flowers to it, it did not add any beauty to stalking."

Hyson chuckled when he heard their argument and said, "Major, you are really wasting your time. Once Ellie believes in something, it will take a very long time for you to convince her otherwise. And the main point is, you need to be right to convince her."

"I am right," argued Xiang Wai.

"Not really," said Hyson. "It might seem romantic to you but imagine. Someone has been following you silently for ten years. You have no idea who that person is but he knows everything about you. Do you find this romantic? Because I don't."

"Exactly, my point!" said Raelle.

"You best friends are always on the same page," said Xiang Wai.

"If you think that way, then you really don't know us all that well," said Hyson. "What's your view on this, Weimin Ge? After all, you're the one involved in all of this."

Xiang Weimin shrugged, "To be honest, I just found comfort in those flowers. I did not question anything else. As you said, it was indeed a bit weird at first. But slowly, I stopped focusing on that. As long as that person didn't want to show up, I didn't care."

"What if that person really does come in front of you? What would you say?" New chapters are published on ɴovel(F)ɪre

Xiang Weimin thought about it before responding, "I'd like to say thank you. Thank you for being the constant I needed at a time when everything in my life was changing. Because that... That was very precious to me."

"How were you coping with that change, Major?" asked Hyson.

Xiang Wai didn't want to recall that time very much. But she still told him, "I did what I am best at. Fighting. One day I got into a fight with one cousin, the next day, it'd be another one."

"And why would you do that?" asked Raelle. "Because I'm that reckless, naughty, and irresponsible."

"Liar."

Xiang Wai gave Raelle a look and sighed, "Fine. Mom originally brought me to live in her own house. But she had to join the secret research team. She wanted to hire a nanny to take care of me. However, my maternal grandmother being the manipulator she always had been, told my mother that it was better to leave me with my maternal grandparents' family. I'd be able to have better care. There are so many cousins to play with as well. All in all, there was a huge emotional drama involved which led to my mom bringing me to live with her natal family. Needless to say, I wasn't very well received in that family. Those cousins loved to say that no one wanted me. Because I didn't have my father around me and my mother was also in the lab for months. So, I lost my patience and beat them all."

Xiang Weimin held her hand to comfort her. He knew all about it. And he also knew that she only told the most basic comments they used to hurt her. There was so much worse going on in that family.

"One day, they all ganged up on me and locked me up in the warehouse. I stayed there for two days. Hungry, thirsty, and cold."

Raelle looked at her face which didn't show any resentment, pain, or anything at all. But she could still tell that those experiences were what shaped her into what she was today. It wasn't that she didn't want to be a more well-behaved kid. It's just that no one left her a choice back then.

"So, when I came out. My so-called aunt told me that I must have learned my lesson by now. I should be careful in the future not to hurt her kids. After all, I was living under their roof and ate their food. As if, I was living for free. As if they weren't using my mom as their personal ATM. Anyway, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about my heroic acts. After coming out of there, I first cut off my eldest cousin's hair and made her go bald. Then I made wild dogs come and chase my second cousin for an hour. And no, I am not pure evil. I made sure he wasn't bitten. He was just scared. Who told him to have such a small courage? Then I caught some rats and left them in my third cousin's room at night. Oh, I still remember the way she screamed at night and couldn't sleep for a week."

Xiang Weimin had long ago covered his son's ears because he did not want his son to listen to any of that.

"What else?" asked Hyson looking very excited to hear more.

"What else? I set fire to their warehouse where I was locked too. HAHAHA! It was fun."

"You didn't get beaten up again?" asked Hyson.

"No, I ran away from home and went to call my Dad who told me to wait where I was. Within half an hour, someone came in a military jeep and took me away. Then I stayed with Ge and Dad for a while."

"What happened after that?" asked Raelle. "I don't think you stayed with Dad for long."

"No. Later, Dad contacted Mom after her research was done. He had a big fight with her over what happened with Wai," told Xiang Weimin. "He was really mad when he got Wai's call. I was with him at that time. He looked mad, angry, and in pain. So, when he brought Wai with him, he really didn't want to let her go. So, he and mom had a big fight. They argued about it for six months before Dad relented and let Wai go back."

Xiang Wai's expressions changed when she heard it all from her brother.
