Chapter 1262 [Bonus chapter] This Is Huge
After Shui Xian was done explaining everything, Xiang Wai was left gaping in disbelief. "Wow! I didn't think my cool aunt had this jealous side to her too."
"It isn't that unbelievable," was Xiang Weimin's response. "Maybe it's unbelievable to you only because you haven't realized what kind of a status Uncle Zhao has in Aunt's life."
"How am I supposed to know when she tells me nothing?" retorted Xiang Wai. She sniffed and looked at Raelle asking, "Did you have dinner? Would you like to eat with us?"
"I already ate," replied Raelle. "It's way past my dinner time."
Xiang Wai also looked at the time and even she had to say that it was quite late for dinner. She chuckled at that, "That's right. It's quite late. What did you have?"
"Black bean noodles."
"Korean food?" asked Xiang Wai.
"Yes."
"Where did you buy it?"
"My husband made it," replied Raelle.
Xiang Wai gave Shui Xian a look, "You don't look like it but you're very diligent type."
"I don't look like it?" asked Shui Xian. "Exactly what do I look like in your eyes, Wai?"
"Like a heartthrob but also a heartbreaker at the same time."
"Huh?"
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
"Didn't you? I don't think that matches me at all," said Shui Xian.
"Yeah. I realized that after interacting with you, you only look like that. Your real persona is a whole different story. You're such a perfect house-husband material."
"Oh? Thanks, I guess."
"You're welcome!" Xiang Wai wanted to pull Raelle aside but considering that she wouldn't like it, she held back and asked, "Sister, did you pass my application? When should I go for the second round of interviews?"
Raelle gave her a deep look which made Xiang Wai a bit uneasy and soon, she realized what this ominous uneasiness was as Raelle started reciting, "'The reasons why I should be considered for the role of your bridesmaid. First, sisterhood. Even though in the name of sisterhood, we only share the same blood and DNA, I believe that's very important too. Second, I'm providing your emotional support by crying in your place. Don't worry, I'll bring my own tissues. Third, I'll dominate the dance floor so that you don't have to do something you don't like at all. Fourth, I'll even drink in your place. You can trust my drinking capacity, I'd never embarrass you.'"
"Please stop," said Xiang Wai. "That was supposed to be private. Aren't applications usually confidential material or something?"
"I didn't even get to the best part yet," said Raelle as she went on, "What was it... Ah! 'Why I'm the best choice? Obviously, because you have no other option. If you don't give me a green card, I'll continue to pester you to the point of making you sick. So, for the sake of your own mental health and peace, please accept me. In exchange, I'll decorate your bridal room for you. How is it? Isn't the deal worth it?'" She looked at Xiang Wai who looked like the world was ending and asked, "Should I continue?"
"No!" said Xiang Wai. "I think this is enough."
"Would you mind telling me what was that?" asked Raelle.
"A very sincere and honest application. At least, I didn't try to flatter you or anything but only stated facts as they are."
"So, you're betting on that honesty? That I'd give you a chance just because you're being honest?"
"Yes," replied Xiang Wai. "Also, I'm betting on using my 'sister card'. After all, as I said, we might have no such thing as sisterhood but at the end of the day, we are still sisters related by blood. I don't this relationship lightly and I don't think you do too. I know I have had a lot of opinions about you growing up but that was before I met you. I know I wronged you by doing that so can't I get a chance for redemption?"
"Is it really that serious?" asked Raelle.
"It is to me," answered Xiang Wai.
Xiang Weimin also got up to stand with Xiang Wai as he held her hand and looked at Raelle, "I can assure you, it really is that serious to her."
"They say children are a debt to their parents," said Raelle. "You're not even my kids. Why do I think you're here to collect some kind of debt from me?"
Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai laughed at that.
"And that was a yes, by the way," said Shui Xian.
Both of them paused and looked at Shui Xian and then at Raelle, inquisitively.
"Is it? Is it really?" asked Xiang Wai in shock.
"Didn't you hear my husband? He interpreted my words so well. What more do you want from me?" responded Raelle.
Xiang Wai rushed over and hugged Raelle tightly making Raelle freeze in her place. "Thank you! Thank you so much! You have no idea how much this means to me."
"You better let go before I change my mind," came Raelle's words.
Xiang Wai jumped back and laughed, "Aiyo! You really can't communicate well, eh?"
"I can do it better than you," said Raelle as she held Shui Xian and left without looking back.
"Here I thought she was cold hearted," said Xiang Wai watching her leave. "She is such a softie though."
"This is why you shouldn't make an opinion about her," added Xiang Weimin. "She'll always challenge whatever you think of her."
"True," nodded Xiang Wai. Then she jumped up to hug Xiang Weimin and stuck to him like a koala as she screamed, "Ge, I got it! I passed!"
Xiang Weimin didn't know how to react to her absurdity. He patted her back and said, "Are you that happy? You weren't even this excited when you passed the military academy's exam back then. Or even when you climbed up to the rank of a Major so soon."
"How is that the same?" asked Xiang Wai. "This is huge. You understand that better than anyone else."
"Right. I do understand."
