Chapter 759: Wang Yu’s Mother

Mu Zi Xian had only previously at most entered the area near the prohibited sign and did not actually venture into the Wang Family Village. As she entered the Wang Family Village, she keenly felt what she had missed.

The village had a rustic architecture. The buildings were not built too tall and the highest building was a four-storey vintage building smacked right in the middle of the whole place. This style of architecture was much more pleasing to the eyes compared to the over-commercialised designs seen in the big cities.

In particular, the village had a big courtyard. Mu Zi Xian was tongue-tied. One had to know that China’s population was reaching two billion. Even the far-off remote villages had to use their available land wisely. The Wang Clan definitely had considerable financial resources as seen from their ability to retain such a spacious village layout.

If Mu Zi Xian could look down from a higher vantage point, she would even be more shocked. There were a total of eight roads that lead to the Wang Family Village. With the four-storey building at its centre, the eight roads were arranged in an Eight Trigrams formation. This level of construction could not be merely accomplished by the use of money.

The journey to the village took the whole morning. It was already noon time and there was no much of a crowd on the streets. Wang Yu took Mu Zi Xian for a brisk walk around and they stopped before the big courtyard.

As there were no outsiders in the Wang Family Village, everyone did not have the habit of closing their doors. The gate to the courtyard was wide open and Wang Yu pulled Mu Zi Xian. As they passed through a few corridors, they finally arrived before one of the houses.

“This is your home?” Mu Zi Xian asked in surprise.

“Well.” Wang Yu nodded.

“This is so big…” Mu Zi Xian was struck with awe.

Wang Yu took Mu Zi Xian past four consecutive doors. They had not even walked to the end of the corridor and Mu Zi Xian could see that Wang Yu’s courtyard was almost five doors long… Even the gatekeeper’s quarters was bigger than the home they both lived in in L city.

In this time and age where land was equivalent to gold, there were not many people who could afford to live in such a lavish home…

Mu Zi Xian finally realised why Yang Nuo had previously lived alone in such a big house and did not feel uncomfortable. This was probably due to the fact that a high-end residence in the city was probably the same size as a toilet here. Furthermore, Wang Yu had mentioned before that the Yang Clan was the most well off among the four famed martial arts families.

Mu Zi Xian could not help but let out a long sigh. Those who practice martial arts all required vast amounts of wealth. Just taking Wang Yu as an example, he had spent so much money on a game. Others were likely to have done the same.

“Where is this place? Don’t we have to go and greet your parents first?” Looking at the house before her, Mu Zi Xian asked quizzically.

“This is my room.” Wang Yu said as he lightly jumped up as he retrieved the key from the top of the door. Mu Zi Xian also gave the door a push.

“The door isn’t locked.” Mu Zi Xian whispered.

“Huh? I definitely locked it when I left.” Wang Yu thought strangely as he walked into the hall.

The house was spotless and although Wang Yu had left for about half a year, there not a speck of dust to be found. Even the wooden floorboards were glistening. It was as though someone was tidying up this place everyday.

“Could it be that someone is living here?” Wang Yu muttered.

He was about to walk through the hall into the bedroom, to only be stopped by a voice that came from the bedroom.

“Is that you Second Elder? Go back first, I will sit here with your brother for a while.”

At this moment, Wang Yu opened up the curtains and Mu Zi Xian saw that there was a middle-aged woman sitting on Wang Yu’s desk resting.

This middle-aged woman could not be said to be pretty and was not dressed in luxury. However, her disposition was very apparent. This imposing temperament could only be compared to the time she met Wang Yu’s father in-game.

“Mother…” Upon seeing the middle-aged woman, Wang Yu cried out excitedly.

The middle-aged woman heard the sound and opened her eyes. She was jolted out of her stupor and only after a long time she managed to let out a whimper, “Iron Bull… You are back?”

Although it was a simple sentence, the countless emotions welled up in Mu Zi Xian and Wang Yu.

A tear rolled down the cheeks of Mu ZI Xian.

There was a saying that mothers would always be worried about their children no matter where they might be. Wang Yu had left without a trace for half a year. Mu Zi Xian could barely empathise with the intense yearning that Wang Yu’s mother had felt during this period… The feeling was as though Wang Yu had left her.

At the same time, Mu Zi Xian finally understood how childish their previous act to elope was… Although love was selfish, family after all was priceless. There were many ways to resolve the issue but they just had to choose the most hurtful option.

“Mother.” Wang Yu saw his mother in such a state and also wanted to shred a tear.

“Don’t ever cry! Don’t you know men can never cry?” Wang Yu’s mother coldly reprimanded her son.

Wang Yu quickly stood up and pulled Mu Zi Xian by his side and replied, “This is more like my mother.”

“Mother…” Mu Zi Xian said with a still small voice.

Wang Yu’s mother glanced over at Mu Zi Xian and indifferently asked Wang Yu, “Who is this?”

“This is my wife… We have been married for more than half a year,” Wang Yu replied happily.

Wang Yu’s mother narrowed her eyes and her hands were clenched into fists. As she saw the woman that had led her beloved son astray, she had to summon up all the self-control she had. She did not want to embarrass Wang Yu. She let out a single “Oh.” and nodded towards Mu Zi Xian.

Upon seeing Wang Yu mother’s cold reaction, Mu Zi Xian also sighed deep in her heart.

Mu Zi Xian was psychologically prepared for such a situation to happen. After all, how could anyone react favourably to what they did?

This was after all a big matter in Wang Yu’s life and his parents were unaware of it. If it was any other person than Wang Yu, they would have been immediately rebuked by his mother. Wang Yu’s mother was concerned that Wang Yu might once again disappear without a trace.

Mu Zi Xian was about to give her apologies to when Wang Yu’s mother said, “Both of you probably haven’t eaten. This is nice since everyone is here. Everything can wait after dinner.”

The pressure Wang Yu’s mother gave off was a few notches above that of Wang Yu’s father. It was an unfathomable crushing pressure.

“Mn.” Wang Yu and Mu Zi Xian nodded and followed suit behind Wang Yu’s mother. They passed through a door and reached the dining hall.

The big fatty Wang Fei (Evil Rampage) was busy stuffing his mouth with food and when he heard the door opening, he hurriedly sat down.

Seeing the trio entering the hall, Wang Fei looked absentmindedly at Wang Yu before staring at his mother in horror.

Wang Yu’s mother glanced at the dining table and then stared back at the gluttonous Wang Fei before asking, “Where is your father?”

“He is still playing the game!” Wang Fei was relieved that his mother did not scold him for stealing food and hurriedly sold out his Father to get himself out of this predicament.

“…” Wang Yu and Mu Zi Xian were flabbergasted. They initially thought that Wang Yu’s father played the game to give them trouble. It turned out that he himself became addicted to the game.

As she heard Wang Fei, her face darkened by a few more shades. She frowned and bellowed out, “Call him out now!”

“I’ll go, I’ll go…” Wang Yu and Wang Fei saw the infuriated face of their mother and they were so scared that they were clamouring after each other to run out.

At this moment, Wang Yu’s father stepped into the dining hall and said to the brothers, “Hey, hey, what is happening? What are you two brothers jostling over? Eh, son, when did you come back?”
