Oh Mr General - Chapter 214

Twenty five years ago, Melisa was a twenty two year old fresh graduate from the Technological Institute of Country Y. She came from the prestigious Hanlon Family that had absolute power in Country Y. Melisa had two siblings. Her oldest sister was Melanie Hanlon, her second oldest sister was Mary Hanlon and she was the youngest, Melisa Hanlon. From the beginning of her life, she was born with a silver spoon and never had to undergo any sufferings. Her parents never really dictated any part of her life.

One night, she had went out with plans to meet up with her friends to drink. To be safe, she would usually have two bodyguards nearby to protect her if need be. However, that night, the bodyguards had left her side for a moment and it was then a depraved man had approached Melisa with a knife. It was later known to her this man had been hired to kidnap Melisa so as to hold ransom against the Hanlon family.

Seeing the knife in his hand, Melisa could only concede herself. She was asked to keep silent and to follow him out of the bar quietly. Obediently, she obey. Unbeknownst to her, a man had caught his eye on Melisa ever since she had entered the bar. The man was Ming Jiang Fei and at that time, he had just completed a mission and was scheduled to leave back to Country Z the next day. Taking that off time to go drinking, he noticed the young lady being approached by a suspicious man. Watching Melisa leave while the suspicious individual stood close behind her, Ming Jiang Fei knew from experience that something was up. He stealthily followed behind, keeping track of the person’s movements.

Hiding in the corner, Jiang Fei noticed that they were entering an alleyway. At the end of it, there was a van. Connecting the dots, the young lady was either about to be kidnapped or r.a.p.ed in a inconspicuous location. The fit soldier quietly approached from behind as he reached his arm around the bad person’s neck. With a quick flick, he flung the man to the side as his shoulder hit the brick wall. Noticing that the suspicious man had a knife in his hand, Ming Jiang Fei kicked the weapon accurate out of his hand, before knocking out his opponent.

The suspicious man had assailants that were sitting in the van. Seeing how things had transpired, the pair of assailants came out of the vehicle with guns. Ming Jiang Fei was in his civilian clothes and did not carry around his own weapon. Knowing that he was at a disadvantage, he quickly held onto Melisa’s hand as he brought her away. When the bodyguards had realised that their lady had been compromised, they had also ran out of the bar and had bumped into Ming Jiang Fei and Melisa. In the end, Jiang Fei explained to the armed bodyguards that the assailants was on their way over and with the element of surprise, they had managed to neutralise the threat.

It was during that event that Ming Jiang Fei had caught the eyes of Melisa. The way the man protected her was extremely touching, after all, they had only just met. The both of them exchanged contacts that night and Melisa went back home for the night. For Ming Jiang Fei had changed his flight, requesting for vacation period. In that time, the two of them went for dates and got to know each other better.The young soldier was slightly shy in the beginning, but by the end of Jiang Fei’s vacation, they mutually fell in love.

The pair then decided that they should do long distance for a while as Jiang Fei had to go back to Country Z for his job. After six months, Melisa could no longer take being apart from her lover. She had asked for her parents consent to allow her to fly to Country Z to be with Ming Jiang Fei. However, after seeing how the young man had no particularly redeeming qualities, Melisa’s parents disallowed the both of them being together and if she did, they would disown her. In a fit of anger, the lady said that she was breaking off all contact with her family and that was the last time she spoke with any of them. Even with her two sisters that she was close with, Melisa did not interact with them anymore.

A year after marrying Jiang Fei, Melisa had gotten pregnant with the now, Ming Yue Guang. She never once regretted her decision after she left the Hanlon family for she knew that her husband was truly the right person for her.

In the present, Ming Yue Guang was rubbing his temples from the story that his mother had just told him. It was truly a fairytale story, but it was just how his parents had met each other. He asked, “So, why did your family contact you again?”

“Your auntie found out recently through the army network that your father passed away. She contacted me to ask if we needed any help.”

“We do not.” Ming Yue Guang was adamant on that belief. Considering how none of her mother’s family had tried to reconcile with her over the past 20 odd years, Yue Guang believed it wasn’t right for them to do so now.

“Da Guang…” Hearing from his mother’s pleading tone of voice, he knew that his mother wanted a different answer from him.

“What? You want to reconcile with this vermin of a family?”

“Your aunt is not a vermin.”

“Then why did she not try to contact you over the years?”

“I was the one that told my sisters to not contact me. I had broken off contact with my parents, but my sisters never wanted me to leave. They respected my decision for love. Since I was going to leave the Hanlon family, I decided to just cut off all ties.
