Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1164: Wild Man

Raelle was a little uncomfortable when she heard those words from Ru. She suddenly realized how well-protected she had been all her life. She knew about patriarchal families but she actually didn't expect the extent of their biasedness.          

    

"Is it that bad?" she asked.    

Ru gave her a look as if he understood what was on her mind and smiled charmingly, "Oh, you're a lot more innocent than people give you credit for."    

"I don't think I'm innocent," said Raelle in her defense. She really didn't think she was innocent. She didn't understand why she was always given this big title.      

"The extent of your innocence is that you don't even realize that you're innocent," commented Ru. "And yes, it's not just bad. It's worse than you think. Your family raised you in a very well-protected environment. You learned a lot of things but you still don't understand how evil humans can be." He took a pause and swiped the tablet again as he added, "I didn't want to show you these but it seems I should let you see the world outside of the castle you grew up in."    

Raelle looked at the medical report in front of her and the more she read, the quieter the air around her became. "Did the traffickers do it?"    

"Nope," answered Ru. "These injuries were given by her own so-called family. The traffickers turned out to be a lot more human than her own family. At least, she got to eat a full meal once a day with them. But in her family, she was fed just enough to keep her alive. If she hadn't been sold at that age, she'd have been sold when she came of age to an old bachelor, a disabled man, or a fool. Well, whoever can offer the highest bid... Oops. I mean, the bride price."    

"Didn't that all end in the last century?" asked Raelle.    

"Just because we have learned to hide our evilness better, doesn't mean we have progressed. You need to understand that people are still doing even worse to their own children. Jennifer Chi was just an example of a lucky one who got out of that hell. Call it her fortune but when she was shipped to another country, the traffickers were caught because they had long been targeted. Because of this medical report of hers, the doctors who examined her were actually very sympathetic. Because she had the worst health status of all those kids who were saved at that time. She was timid, cautious, and very cowardly. But somehow the Chi couple liked her so, this kind of doctor couple who had no kids adopted her and named her Jennifer Chi."    

Raelle suddenly recalled the time when she was kidnapped and how she was treated during that time. She had to say the traffickers won't beat the kidnapped kids to this extent because if the kid died, it'd be a loss to them. But from this medical report, she could tell that whoever hurt Jennifer Chi, obviously wanted her dead.      

She always believed that she wasn't pitiful just because she was abandoned by her parents. A lot of times when people did pity her, she'd find it bizarre. Because she personally thought that there was nothing to pity about her. She had money, family love, and a high IQ. What else would one need? Did she still seem pitiful?    

And now, her belief was only strengthened because seeing this she realized that the people who really were pitiful were like Jennifer Chi who were hurt by their closest family.    

"How did she meet Raphael D'Amico?" asked Mu Chenyan on purpose just so that Raelle could be distracted from her thoughts. She knew her Raelle well. And she understood that Raelle would recall her own experience. She never wanted her to even think about that incident.    

"They met in high school. When she was already like a flower in bloom. I have to say that the Chi family treated her very well. They did everything to make her recover her health with all the nutritious things. They gave her the best of everything as much as they could. They weren't considered rich but they certainly did their best to raise their adopted daughter like a princess. Maybe that's why by the time she reached high school, she was a charmer.      

And history says, a strong man's downfall is brought by a beauty.    

Let's say, the same happened to the Godfather of Mafia."    

"You sound very amused," commented Xia Zhao.    

"Little Uncle, you don't understand. I never knew about these things and looking at Mr. Raphael you'd never be able to guess that he was a love-sick man. He still is though."    

"Is she alive?" asked Raelle.    

"No," answered Ru. "You should know that. Jeniffer is no longer in this world. Jeniffer and Raphael had only one daughter, Genevieve after eight years of their marriage. So, they loved that daughter even more. But not everything is fair in this world." Ru sighed to himself and stood up to leave.    

"Where are you going? It's not done yet," called out Xia Zhao.    

"Little Uncle, you didn't even offer me some water," said Ru. "My mouth is dry after talking so much. This is the worst hospitality I have received in my life. If you weren't my little uncle, I'd have already blown your head."    

"You don't need to blow my head. You should have just told me that you're thirsty. Why complain now?"    

"You didn't even offer me breakfast when I came earlier. I have no expectations from you."    

Xia Zhao rubbed his nose.    

"Uncle Zhao, you didn't give your nephew breakfast?" asked Raelle.        

    

"He doesn't lack my breakfast. Besides, I made that for Yan Zi. Why should I let this wild man take it from under my nose?"    

"Wild man?" came Ru's voice as he brought a bottle of water with him from the kitchen. "You really treat me too casually these days. Are you forgetting who I am?"    

"Even you forget who you are, is it that strange that I forgot it too?"
