Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands - Chapter 420

Chapter 420: Breaking Free (2)
How could she allow Zhai Haidong to leave when she needed her help to finish that blueprint? If this woman left the family, how was she going to suppress her? Thus, Zhai Haidong was not allowed to leave!

She could never let this woman leave; if she did, then what would happen to her title as a genius? Zhai Zou feared to think what would happen to her if her mother were to find out that all those plans and blueprints that she adored actually came from Zhai Haidong.

If her mother were to find out the truth, then Zhai Zou was certain that her mother would be so furious that she might kick her out of the house. No, she could not allow Zhai Haidong to leave!

While Zhai Zou was filled with panic, Zhai Haidong felt quite satisfied. In the past, she had never thought of leaving the Zhai family as she had nowhere to go. So, even though she had to live under the shadow of her sister, she had agreed.

But maybe it was her lack of backbone that led Madam Zhai and Zhai Zou to believe that they could bully her as they wanted.

She had always looked up at her mother and admired her. In her eyes, even if her mother was a bit biased, she had taken her in and cared for her after her daddy passed away. But only now Zhai Haidong understood that it was the most basic thing that Madam Zhai could have done as her mother.

Compared to Luo Yeqing, who refused to blame her daughter even when everyone told her that Luo Huian was the one who brought someone to the room and was involved in some heinous acts, her mother, when presented with the proof, turned a blind eye to everything and blamed her.

A mother was supposed to be like Luo Yeqing, one who would accept that she had made mistakes and try to deal with them, not like Madam Zhai, who gave and fulfilled her most basic needs and responsibilities before turning her back on her.

All her life she had been forced to give up as Zhai Zou suppressed her. Everyone told her that as an F rank this was what she had to face and even if it felt unjust, there was nothing she could do.

It was Luo Huian who told her that she was also a human being and no matter what rank she awakened as a hunter, she deserved to be respected as well.

That she no longer need to lower her head and let Zhai Zou walk all over her head. That she was willing to take responsibility for her.

From protecting Zhai Haidong from this trouble to the smallest detail of the plan and knocking down that waiter who was in cahoots with Zhai Zou, Luo Huian had taken care of everything.

What was even more important was Luo Huian’s unwavering confidence in her. Even though Zhai Haidong didn’t believe that she could do anything worth changing the society, Luo Huian told her that she trusted her and she never wanted her to do anything over the top.

All she wanted Zhai Haidong to do was to do what she did best.

And that was what brought a rare sense of peace within Zhai Haidong’s heart

Zhai Haidong felt like she was a small boat that had been drifting for years after getting stranded, and finally reached the shore that she had been looking for.

At first she just wanted to repay Luo Huian for what she had done but as the woman stood next to her, Zhai Haidong suddenly felt courageous and bold. Like she could face these troubles on her own and deal with them.

And Zhai Haidong, who had never felt like this before, didn’t want to let Luo Huian down. Because she feared losing this warmth and protection that she had finally gotten her hands on.

“You are breaking mother’s heart by doing this —”

Before Zhai Zou could finish her performance, Zhai Haidong closed her eyes to prepare herself and then spoke in a steady and calm voice, “I am not breaking her heart; if anything, I am helping her live a better life. Since she dislikes me so much, its better if I stay out of the Zhai family and live my own life. Isn’t that right, mother? You always say that I am a jinx who killed her daddy and every time something goes wrong, you will blame me.”

“Fine, then I will move out of the Zhai mansion.”

Madam Zhai was speechless, as she never expected that Zhai Haidong would actually bring up this matter in front of others. Even though she often called Zhai Haidong a jinx, she knew that if this matter was to be known by others, she would be greatly embarrassed.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhai Haidong finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Madam Zhai and started whispering. She caught words like superstition and heartless among the chatter.

“Enough!” Madam Zhai was so furious that she almost staggered under the gazes of the guests. Not only was one of her daughters caught with a man but the other one was bent on leaving the family; Madam Zhai felt like she could no longer show her face out in public.

She gritted her teeth and then said to Zhai Haidong, “Fine, you want to leave, then leave! I will see how you are going to survive without the Zhai family!”

“Mom!” Zhai Zou wanted to stop her mother but it was too late.

Madam Zhai waved her hand and angrily stormed out of the room. She originally wanted to ask Luo Yeqing to give her an explanation but with the situation turning around like this, it would be good enough if Luo Yeqing didn’t ask her for an explanation!

So, without caring about what Zhai Zou had to say, she rushed out of the room.

Zhai Zou didn’t expect the situation to turn around in such a way; she glared at Zhai Haidong before chasing after her mother. Now, she could only hope that Zhai Haidong would regret her decision!
