Chapter 1229: The Rich Sibling
The next morning, Xiang Weimin woke up to find Justin sitting on the bed, looking at him. Xiang Weimin was a little surprised. Last night, he brought Justin home early. He not only helped him wash up but really told him a bedtime story too. Father and son slept together last night.
Who knew that Justin would wake up earlier than Xiang Weimin? He actually wondered if he woke up late today but when he saw the time, he pursed his lips. It was 4:30 am. Clearly, he wasn't late but it seemed his son was also an early bird already.
"When did you wake up?" asked Xiang Weimin.
"Just now," answered Justin.
"Why did you wake up so early? Do you need anything? Are you hungry?"
Justin shook his head.
"Then... Couldn't sleep well on this unfamiliar bed?"
"I slept well," said Justin. "I always wake up at this time."
"Sleep more. You're too young. It's time to grow for you. Sleeping will help in growing," said Xiang Weimin as he got up from the bed. "Why don't you try to sleep some more? I'll wake you up in a while, okay? Even the sun isn't out yet."
"It's about to come out," said Justin pointing towards the window.
Xiang Weimin pursed his lips and sighed, "Still, go back to sleep." He put Justin back to sleep and went out for his morning training. He looked around the house where everyone was awake at this time and running about doing their own things. He shook his head as he wondered, how could his son stay asleep when this whole family couldn't stay in bed?
"You're awake?" asked Mu Chenyan. "What about Justin?"
"I let him sleep for a little more," answered Xiang Weimin.
"That's good but is it okay to leave him alone in the room?"
"Don't worry," replied Xiang Weimin. "I'll go back to him soon. Why do I think my aunt is more concerned about my son than me?"
"You're not cute anymore," said Mu Chenyan. "You grew up too fast."
"You'd say the same about Raelle even though she grew up right in front of your eyes."
"She was cute? When? Why don't I know?"
Xiang Weimin shook his head and walked out. He did not want to have this discussion with Mu Chenyan so early in the morning. Outside the house, he ran into Xiang Wai who was rubbing her eyes and yawning repeatedly. She looked half asleep at the moment and it actually seemed like she was gonna sleep while standing up.
Xiang Weimin smacked the back of her head from behind and Xiang Wai yelled.
"Ge, what the hell was that? Be nice! I'm your only cute sister."
Xiang Weimin chuckled, "Yeah, yeah. How can anyone be cuter than you? But what are you doing out here?"
"Where else should I be?"
"In the gym?"
"Who goes there?" asked Xiang Wai. "Do you wanna spar?"
"You sure about that? Don't cry later!"
"Ge, I don't cry."
Well, that statement came to bite her sooner than she thought because, within fifteen minutes, she tapped on his arm and said, "Let go. Let go already!"
Xiang Weimin let go of her neck and gave her a cheeky smile.
"You just love to see your sister crying, eh?"
"No way. You look so ugly when you cry. Why would I like that?"
"What did you say?" Xiang Weimin ran away while Xiang Wai followed behind him shouting, "You better stop for me! How can you call your sister, ugly? Is that something you should say? Is this what you're gonna teach your son too? Do I need to remind you that you're a father now? You should use words wisely. Don't give your son a bad impression!"
"I'd be a fool if I stopped now," he shouted back and continued to run.
On the side of the road, they passed by Raelle who turned her back towards them and even pulled her husband to do the same.
"What are we doing?" asked Shui Xian mysteriously.
"We are hiding from these fools. It'd be embarrassing if people saw that I'm also their sister."
Shui Xian laughed at that and agreed silently. He had to say, seeing Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai running around the block was funny. They both had the spirit of 'Flash' in them right now as one couldn't even see what they looked like. That's how fast they were running around.
But everyone could definitely hear Xiang Wai's complaints.
"Wai, stop following me!" said Xiang Weimin. "Are you like a mad dog right now? Why are you running after me?"
"You said it yourself! I'm a mad dog. Of course, I'm after you to bite you!"
Xiang Weimin stopped abruptly making Xiang Wai run straight into his hard back and her nose hurt. When she felt something, she stretched out her tongue to lick and tasted a familiar metallic taste in her mouth.
"Woo! Your nose is..."
"GE!"
"It's not my fault! You ran into me."
"Who told you to stop so suddenly?!" she still put the blame on him. "Give me a warning before stopping."
"Who does that?" he asked. He pulled out a handkerchief to help her wipe the nosebleed as he added, "Why is your nose bleeding so much? I don't think you hit that hard. Maybe it's the heat. Are you heated, sister? Tell me!"
"Shut up!" said Xiang Wai. "Have I mentioned that you're becoming trickier since you found your son? I want my sullen and silent brother back! Give him back! Give him back to me right now!"
Xiang Weimin made her tilt her head back to stop the bleeding as he said, "Your brother is still here. Stop being so fussy about everything. On a serious note, I really think you're heated. Go back and have some herbal tea. The weather is very hot these days. It can happen."
Xiang Wai slapped his hand away, saying, "Look at my red nose. It's all your fault. Don't shirk your responsibility now. Who asked you to have such a hard back? It injured me!"
"Okay, it's my fault. I'm sorry!"
"That sounds better. What else?"
"What do you want?"
"How about you give me your card? I'll buy whatever I want to."
"Tsk. Tsk. Wai, I have a son to raise now."
"So? Your sister is not yours anymore?"
Xiang Weimin sighed, "I'll give you the card when we go back. I don't have it with me right now. Are we good now? But if you went back and complained about me to anyone. Forget about the card!"
Xiang Wai pursed her lips, "I know. I know. I know all the rules of these deals. Don't worry. Have some faith. Wehn you're making these underground deals, trust in your crime partner is very necessary."
"Well, I hope I never get a dealer like you again who keeps scamming me!"
"That's what sisters are for!"
Xiang Weimin gave her a look.
"What? Don't bring up Raelle. She is too rich. Why would she need to scam you?"
"You talk as if you're a pauper! Should we go and check out your investments?"
"Those are investments. I don't have cash."
"Really?" asked Xiang Weimin. "Say something believable!" he sighed and raised his head to wave at Relle who very straightforwardly acted like she didn't even see them and changed her direction. His lips twitched when he saw this and said, "It seems our sister is embarrassed of us."
"Whose fault is it?"
"Yours! You are the pauper here. I'm still the prince!"
"Get lost! Is this something you can say to your own sister? Besides, Raelle isn't like that. She gifted me a grand beach house, do you know that? She is so generous."
"You got it too?" asked Xiang Weimin weirdly.
Xiang Wai's smile vanished, "Don't tell me she gave it to you too?" He nodded his head. "You're gonna be my neighbor? Why? Why is she doing this? Do houses come in sets too now?"
"What did you give her?" asked Xiang Weimin.
"I wanted to give her my orchard but she didn't want it. Because apparently, hers is bigger than mine. So, I offered her something from my antique collection. She didn't like it but she didn't refuse it either."
"I heard somewhere that the youngest of the family is usually the richest child in the family. I don't know about others but it seems very true in our family. Even though we both shared the bigger part of the Xiang family inheritance. She is still the ruling party."
"Because we went to earn wages while she became a businesswoman. Money is all for capitalists. We are just wage earners. Oh, and we also bring some honor to our country too." She looked at the sky saying, "But I'll tell you honestly, it isn't a good feeling when you can't even think of a gift for your sister just because she has everything. It's so difficult."
Xiang Weimin patted her shoulder and agreed with her statement completely.
"Forget it. Money can't buy everything anyway."
"Ge, you're the intelligent child. I'm the foolish one. And Raelle is the rich one. What a complete set. I think we compliment each other very well."
"We have another one," he said.
"Who?"
"The dramatist!" mentioned Xiang Weimin and instantly Hyson's face appeared in Xiang Wai's mind and she couldn't even deny it.
"That's true."
