The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system
Chapter 461 - 461 Promising the elder

461: Promising the elder.

461: Promising the elder.

All four women were dragged out mercilessly and Nana continued to shout out for Zhang Xian to come and save her.

She kept calling him Yue, shouting about he was being unfair to her and promising that she would change.

All this fell on deaf ears because the man she was calling out to remained sitting in a chair with a stoic expression on his face.

With that expression, he actually resembled Caishen more.

When the last of her screams faded away everyone felt lighter.

“Thank you all for coming to watch this ugly incident as witnesses.

Should this matter ever come back to affect Xian in future, i am counting on all of you to stand up for him and testify that it is I who drove that woman out of the house.”  They all agreed, and made verbal promises to the first elder.

After, he invited them all to stay for dinner and some agreed while others left.

The second and third elder stayed.

The second elder even tapped Zhang Xian on the back as they made their way to the dining room.

“Don’t think about it son, she was not worthy of you anyway.”  “I agree with you second brother.” The third elder too joined and added his voice of wisdom.

“Instead of beating yourself up, just take it that good things are coming your way from now on.

The sun always come out after a storm.” Zhang Xian nodded smiled at them.

He remained where he was however until the living room was almost emptied out.

His mother was the only other person who stayed behind with him.

She seemed to have something to say and he maintained a quizzical gaze on her, prompting her to talk.

“Xian, we have done this for your own good.

I hope you understand and don’t blame us.”  “I understand mother.

I guess deep down i always knew that it would end like this.

I was willing to live the rest of my life beholden to that promise but Nana, she just…..” He sighed and shook his head.

“That woman could not be changed Xian, no matter how much you tried.

I know that you have a soft heart and will continue sending her money after she squanders all that we have given her.”  Zhang Xian averted his gaze, avoiding his mother’s eyes and grandma figured that she had hit the nail right on it’s head.

She sighed loudly, again.

“I will not stop you and i won’t tell your father about it either but make sure that she doesn’t use this to trap you again.

Even if she begs you to meet her, don’t ever go.

The great thing is that Yong has no problem with both of you living separately so she cannot use him as an excuse to keep in contact with you.

I am so glad that he is an adult and not a young child.”  Grandma Zhang knew without fail that if Yong was a young boy, they would have had to put up with Nana for much longer.

It would have been difficult to kick her out of the house.

The old lady was still not satisfied however because to her, as long as Xian was single, Nana would think the gate was wide open to keep trying to squeeze back inside.

It would be best to close that gap as soon as possible, leaving her no chance of return.

“Now that she is gone maybe you can contact Yura and…..”  Zhang Xian raised his head and moved his head around with a look of frustration on his face.

“Mom, please!” he yelled.

Grandma Zhang was stunned, and she even jumped a little in her seat.

Her son raising his voice at her was not on her list of events for the year.

“Xian…” she called his name with uncertainty.

He took a single deep breath and lowered his voice.

“I am sorry mother, i didn’t mean to shout or startle you.

I am just tired of you and father bringing up Yura every other day.

We are divorced and you kept quiet when we were divorcing.

She barely said goodbye to you when she left this house.

That alone should tell you where we all stand with her now.”  “We will apologize to her.

It’s our fault that the two of you separated so we will take all the blame and absolve you.” Grandma Zhang assured him.

“It won’t work.” he said through clenched teeth.

“I know Yura better than both of you.

I am…was her husband and i know her inside and outside.

Nobody understands her character better than me so i can assure you that even if i offer her the whole world, she is not coming back.

To her, my marriage to Nana was a betrayal whether i was aware or not.

And choosing Nana after i regained my memories made it even worse, promise to a dead man or no.

Truth be told, i don’t want to get back together too because all i feel when i look at her is guilt, overwhelming guilt.

Mother, do you want me to spend the rest of my living living in a fiery pit of misery?

Do you want me to spend all my life living in an office because i am too afraid to come home and face her?

We will not magically be happy suddenly just because we decide to get back together.” “Xian, mother would never want you to live in a fiery pit of misery.

I just thought that your life, our lives will get back to normal now that the eyesore is gone.

If you say that things with Yura are over completely over then i will never raise it again.

I will talk to the matchmaker and find you another wife, one that matches your status and…” “I don’t want another wife mother.” he cut her off quickly.

“Why?” she leaned forward and asked.

He rubbed his left hand with the thumb of his right hand slowly.

There was a look of loss in his eyes which he normally hid from everyone.

From the outside, everything looked rosy, his face had been fixed, his clothes had changed, his job was excellent and his bank account was fat but on the inside, everything was still a mess.

He needed to first fix what was still broken on the inside before doing anything else.

Marriage at this point would be nothing but a band aid covering a wound.

“Because i am lost and need to find myself first.

I barely have a grasp on my identity as Zhang Xian, i am running around looking for pieces of myself from my past.

I am still learning how the family business runs and rebuilding my relationships with my children.

I don’t even know Zhang An’s favorite color, food or of she is dating.

I have never put Xiaobo to bed or cooked a meal for Caishen and Bo.

None of them comes to me for advice on anything because they don’t think i can help and it kills me.

I don’t have it in me to date or marry someone right now because i want to first fix my relationships with my family.

Mother, let’s not harm another person’s daughter out of greed.”
