Chapter 427 When You Love Someone
w.a.n.g Bolin"s face cracked the moment Jiang Yue asked him about w.a.n.g Ruo.
"Alright… I don"t know... But my mother used to tell me that she trusts you with her life." Jiang Yue said. "Because of that... I will tell you that she... is still alive."
Seeing w.a.n.g Bolin"s stiff face, Jiang Yue instantly stifled a laugh. "But you already know that… don"t you?"
The man"s features instantly relaxed before he nodded. "I do, for quite some time already."
"Then, tell me, Bolin… what part of my mother do you love?" She asked bluntly. She wanted to know the extent of w.a.n.g Bolin"s emotions towards her mother.
"Everything," he answered. "When you love someone, you open up your heart and love every part of them. Not just their face, or body, or money. When you love someone, you have to love everything in them, or it is not love at all."
Jiang Yue did not answer his words. During all her life, this was the first time that w.a.n.g Bolin talked to her like this. It was also the longest sentence that she heard from him.
"Young Miss… do you want to know anything?" w.a.n.g Bolin asked after a few seconds of hesitation. Jiang Yue"s stare was honestly making him uncomfortable. It was as if she was trying to look inside him, to look into his soul, and it was making him extremely uncomfortable.
"I do." She answered the stern man in front of her. "I want to know everything about the Vercello Family." Jiang Yue continued. "I want to know everything about my grandmother… everything that you know about them. I want it all."
To say that w.a.n.g Bolin was not expecting this question would be a lie. In fact, the moment Jiang Yue started talking about her mother, he had already a.s.sumed that she knew about the Vercello Family and what had happened in the past.
If his guess was right, then w.a.n.g Ruo must have already told Jiang Yue about the things that had happened back then, including the fact that she was supposed to marry him.
"Where would you like me to start?" He asked, his tone of voice and demeanor seemed to have a sudden turn. w.a.n.g Bolin straightened his back as he walked to the seat opposite to Jiang Yue. His actions were quick and elegant, just like a young master from a prestigious family.
"Up to you." Jiang Yue leaned back on her seat while staring intently at the man. If one didn"t look at w.a.n.g Bolin"s face, then one would think that he was not the same as the man sitting across Jiang Yue right now.
"I came from the prominent Ye Family of the West. To be specific… from the West part of Emerald Country." w.a.n.g Bolin started. "My grandfather was a.s.sociated with the Vercello"s and he wanted me... he volunteered for his grandson to become the next matriarch"s husband."
"I started working with your mother when I was eighteen… she was seventeen. And I was instantly smitten by her charms. By then, I… I always thought that she was already mine so I never told her anything. I became her friend, her confidant, her comrade. I was everything but her lover."
"I never realized that. I thought that we will... We were going to marry anyway so why bother? I felt that she likes me and I certainly liked her too."
"To keep the story short. Everything changed when she met your father." He made a deliberate pause, his eyes never leaving Jiang Yue"s gray ones. "I hated that man." He thought out loud.
"I hated him for everything… I hated him for marrying your mother."
"Then, I realized that the only thing that was making me happy was to see your mother happy. So I... I told Vercello and Ye families that I failed my mission. Since my grandfather was already dead at that time, my father didn"t hesitate to kick me out of the family for bringing shame upon him." He deadpanned as if he was not talking about the people who were related to him by blood.
"Now that you know about my family, let me tell you this. The Ye Family is one of the families backing the Vercellos. So, if you are planning to fight the Vercellos, you are bound to fight with the Ye Family sooner or later."
"Before I tell you about the Vercello Family… I want you to know a very important thing."
"I will always stand by your side. No matter what happens, Ye family or Vercello family… I have vowed to stay beside you and your mother. That is my promise. My responsibility to uphold."
