Lu Jian was startled after he knew about her attraction. She was already in love with him because of his personality and that too when she didn"t know him.She was daring for an innocent girl. Without approaching him first, she went to the First City to impress grandpa and successfully achieved her goals in three months. He has underestimated her love for him.
This also brought a sense of satisfaction in him as he was getting sure about her feelings. He didn"t want to lose her now that he has fallen for her. Before he wanted to give her a peaceful life away from him and his dramatic family; it was purely because he didn"t want to see her like that again.
He didn"t want her as his wife but he was not a cruel man to let her waste her life on him.
"She impressed that old man." Jiang Wui was having a fangirl moment thereafter knowing about his idols great work. "She is way too cool. I should properly learn from her."
Shen Ya rolled her eyes at his antics. "It was not difficult for her as fate gave her a nice opportunity. She rescued your grandpa from a group of the a.s.sa.s.sins and after that, they spent a week together hiding in her apartment during the elections."
Lu Jian was getting more surprised by hearing everything. He didn"t know that his wife was able to fight.
"She can fight." Lu Jian asked Shen Ya, unbelief was clear in his voice.
Shen Ya knew that he was never interested in her so didn"t know anything about her. She sneered.
"Of course, she can. You don"t know anything about her."
Lu Jian was not hurt by her words but even more determined to work hard in order to win his wife"s heart back.
"I know and I am ashamed of it myself but I want to know who is hiding her information and protecting her behind the scenes."
Lu Jian asked her with utmost sincerity.
Shen Ya didn"t want to tell him about this but decided against her judgment. She will take this chance for her best friend. Lu Jian is a powerful figure that can come in handy while dealing with her despicable family.
She needs to gather some strong alliance for the future and this time she could see the sincerity in his eyes.
"I will tell you but remember this that you can"t disclose anything outside of this room." Shen Ya warned.
"The person protecting Zhen Xiu is her mother."
Lu Jian sucked in a harsh breath of air. He could not believe this. She was being protected by her mother.
"Wasn"t she an orphan?" He asked incredulously.
Shen Ya chuckled at his bewildered expression. She should not laugh at his ignorance but this situation was too funny for her. the man Zhen Xiu loved more than anything didn"t know anything about her.
It was ironic.
"No, Lu Jian she is not an orphan and more importantly not someone that you can easily marry just because you desire to." Shen Ya taunted him at his luck.
He might be a number one man in this country and a prince charming for every other girl but Zhen Xiu was a pearl that can"t be taken by all these things that he is ent.i.tled to and has in life. She was a treasure.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Wui asked curiously. The way Shen Ya was describing Zhen Xiu, it sounded very powerful.
"Remember, you can"t expose this secret out otherwise Zhen Xiu will be in danger." Shen Ya warned them again as she told them about Zhen Xiu"s family.
"Her real name is Zhen Ming Yue and she is the daughter of Zhen Ying Yue, the current patriarch of Zhenjia, the ancient aristocratic family hidden in between the First City and the borders of Country and R country."
"It"s Yue Land, the size of a small country." Lu Jian guessed.
Well, it was clear from the way Shen Ya was speaking; it must be that family, the powerful family which still rules C country hiding behind politicians.
"Correct!" Shen Ya nodded in approval.
"If she is the daughter of Madam Zhen then why is she hiding her ident.i.ty?"
Lu Jian could not understand this point. Everything fell into pieces now that Shen Ya has told them about Zhen Xiu"s origin. Her real name was Zhen Ming Yue.
Shen Ya was close to her because they were best friends and knew each other for a very long time. Zhen Xiu was in love with him so she went to The First City to get grandpa"s approval for their marriage and that"s how her first record as Zhen Xiu was recorded in the First City from two years back.
Zhen Xiu rescued grandpa and he agreed for the marriage. After that, they were married but took every scorn and dirty words just because she loved him enough to suffer from his family.
In this entire story, he could not understand the reason of her hiding her true ident.i.ty and not defending herself.
What was the reason for all this?
Shen Ya knew that he was not surprised by all these things but was only concerned for Zhen Xiu. She was glad that he was turning a new leaf over and sincerely is investing his feelings for her.
"It"s because someone more powerful than Madam Zhen will kill Zhen Xiu if she started living as Zhen Ming Yue and that person is her grandfather Zhen Huang. It"s all that I know so you better remember everything." Shen Ya reminded.
Lu Jian was dumbfounded at this sudden revelation. So, this was the reason that she was hiding from them or more likely abandoned by them when she was just a little girl.
How can they do this to a little girl?
What about her mother?
Did she not like her daughter or was she not willing to give her power away for her daughter?
Lu Jian"s thought was once again in a mess. He could not think rationally at the moment without losing his mind.
Wait, Russell said that somebody was closely monitoring Zhen Xiu"s file.
Lu Jian"s mind flashed with a sudden thought. Will she be in danger? Who was monitoring her whereabouts? Foe or friend?
