1087 [Bonus chapter] Not Easy
“Did you notice something?”
Mu Chenyan looked at her ex-sister-in-law who was talking cautiously to her right now and frowned, “What are you talking about, Sister Xin?”
“That little guy beside Weimin,” was the only thing Song Xin’ai said and Mu Chenyan had an understanding look on her face. “If I noticed, it obviously means you did too. You aren’t blind. You even see things more clearly than me. So, tell me what is going on?”
Mu Chenyan looked at her in amusement, “And what is your take on this?”
“Don’t waste time,” said Song Xin’ai. “Just tell me if I’m right or wrong. Is that little guy really my grandson?”
“Since you already think so, why ask?”
Song Xin’ai’s eyes widened a little in surprise, “It really is?”
“That’s what the DNA test says,” replied Mu Chenyan. How could she leave this matter alone and not investigate it properly? Of course, she even performed a paternity test for confirmation, and only then did she think about the consequent investigations regarding the mother of Justin.
“Weimin doesn’t even know, does he?” asked Song Xin’ai.
.....
“Nope,” answered Mu Chenyan as she mused to herself how it was true that a mother knew her child best. Song Xin’ai was able to figure out things without even being told explicitly. No wonder Raelle liked talking to smart people. It was easier to talk to smart people.
“This guy deserves a beating,” commented Song Xin’ai. “I thought he lived a clean life but he just had to prove me wrong.”
Mu Chenyan’s lips twitched before she said, “I think once Ge hears about this, Weimin might really end up getting a beating.”
“It’s long due,” said Song Xin’ai. “How can he knock some innocent girl and then not even care? He left his own son to roam around as a fatherless child. He should be ashamed of himself.”
Mu Chenyan felt like Song Xin’ai really despised Xiang Weimin’s actions right now but she couldn’t do much. Even she wasn’t happy to know that her grandnephew had been living like a fatherless child all this while and had no family of his own. Only one mother and even that wasn’t his birth mother. The more she thought about it at this moment, the more she felt like beating Xiang Weimin herself.
Still, she was the aunt who doted on her nephew and nieces. How could she talk bad about him? No matter what she thought to herself, she had to defend her nephew in front of the world.
“Sister Xin, why don’t you think that perhaps that girl wasn’t all that innocent? Maybe, she planned it and Weimin ended up falling into her trap. Also, she took all these years to add more weight to her story and then just randomly appeared in front of Xiang Weimin at the right time with his son.”
“Are you writing a novel?” asked Song Xin’ai. “Do I look like a fool to you? You wouldn’t be standing here calmly if it was the case.” Song Xin’ai gave her a look, “You, Chenyan would have dug the grave of that girl by now if she had dared to scheme against your dear nephew.”
“Awww. Sister still knows me so well,” said Mu Chenyan cheekily. “Fine, I won’t hide it from you. Weimin didn’t know anything. He actually had a very brief relationship with a woman when they were working on a flood relief mission. It was so brief that he didn’t expect something like this to happen.”
“It’s still his fault.”
“No, it’s the fault of that girl too for hiding it from us.”
“True,” agreed Song Xin’ai. “How can she hide it so easily? As a father, Weimin deserved to know.” She looked up at Mu Chenyan, “Did you tell him about it?”
“Not yet,” answered Mu Chenyan. “I’ll tell him after the engagement party ends.”
At this moment, Mu Chenyan found Xiang Hulin and Su Feifei standing together and talking rather amiably. She instinctively glanced at Song Xin’ai who was also looking at those two people.
Mu Chenyan felt a little awkward. She didn’t know why she felt guilty for a moment. She shook her head to shake off this guilt. She had nothing to be guilty about. Right! Nothing at all!
“You brought them together?” asked Song Xin’ai unexpectedly.
“Uhh... Ummm...” Mu Chenyan didn’t know what to say.
“When did you become timid?” asked Song Xin’ai. “Is it that difficult to answer? Do you think I’d mind it?”
“That’s not it. I know you don’t have such thoughts at all. I am very clear about you. Especially after raising Raelle, I understood you even more. So, I know that you don’t mind this. I just still find it difficult to talk about it with you.”
“You just want the best for your brother,” said Song Xin’ai. “It had always been like that. All these years, I told him to move on but his hurdle wasn’t me or our kids. It was the fact that he couldn’t even meet his father and you. Now, that this hurdle is gone, I’m sure he has no problem with moving on.” She took a pause and added, “I must say, you’re good at matchmaking, Chenyan. Why didn’t I notice it before?”
“Huh?”
“You matched Raelle with Xian, an absolutely impeccable choice, by the way. And now, you chose Su Feifei for Hulin. It’s actually a promising match. Su Feifei has a lot of common interests. She even once had a crush on him. She is actually the right choice for Hulin to spend his late years.”
“Sister Xin is very generous and magnanimous,” commented Mu Chenyan. “I thought about it a lot before doing this. I really don’t want my brother to be alone.”
Song Xin’ai smiled at her gently, “Chenyan has always been the caring one. Sigh. I wonder why she is so bad when it comes to her own match.”
Mu Chenyan pouted, “Why is everyone after me these days?”
“Maybe because everyone has also started to notice how blind you had been all this while,” replied Song Xin’ai with a shrug.
