Chapter 752 Exclusive Scene
"Pfft!"
Mu Chenyan noticed how her uncle's lips were twitching because of her words while Gu Ye and Gong Quibai looked stunned seeing this exchange before them. So, who laughed?
She turned her head and looked at a young boy laughing while clutching his stomach.
"Xiao Liang, stop laughing!" said Uncle Gou as he looked at the young boy.
"Yes, Grandpa," the boy wiped the tears that came out of his eyes from laughing so hard and stood there obediently.
Uncle Gou grasped Mu Chenyan's ear, "This never-ending nonsense of yours... I wonder how Brother Tianyi even manages to get along with you?"
Mu Chenyan grinned at him, "Our family's Elder Xiang had always been amazing. It's very easy to get along with him."
Uncle Gou shook his head at this niece of his. "Xiao Liang, don't just stand there. Come here and greet your aunt."
The boy who was called Xiao Liang walked over and smiled at Mu Chenyan, "Hello, Aunt!"
"You've grown up, kid," said Mu Chenyan. "I heard you are also thrown into the medical school."
Uncle Gou gave her a displeased look, "What do you mean by thrown into the medical school? Just because you didn't want to be a doctor, you think others don't want to either?"
Mu Chenyan yawned at his words, "Let's not start the lecture again."
Uncle Gou wanted to say something but he noticed the other two people and said, "Oh, it's Dr. Gu and Dr. Gong." As if recalling something, he added, "Oh, you both were our Chenyan's classmates." And then he looked at Mu Chenyan again, "Look at them. They are serving the country now. What are you doing?"
"Bringing patients to your hospital?" she responded making Xiao Liang laugh once again.
Uncle Gou didn't know what to say to this niece. She was the brightest star in their family and yet, she wasn't motivated enough. He was certain that if she hadn't left, she'd have been one of the top surgeons in the country. No, perhaps, she'd have been one of the best in the world. But apparently, her interests were not right.
"Let's be serious for a moment," said Uncle Gou. "Something so serious happened with Raelle and you didn't even bother looking for me?"
"Why should I?" retorted Mu Chenyan. "I'm still very capable, you know."
"Yes, yes, you're very capable," said Uncle Gou. "But if a daughter of our family has an accident, you should let us know."
"Your family?" Mu Chenyan raised her brow at him. "No! She is my family."
"Aren't you my niece?" questioned Uncle Gou. "And if Raelle is your family, it makes her our family as well." (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com
"It doesn't work that way, Uncle," retorted Mu Chenyan.
Although Gu Ye being Mu Chenyan's close friend knew her relationship with the Xiang family, he never knew how she was related to the Gou family as well. Mostly because Mu Chenyan never used the name of her family to solve her troubles. She really thought she was a superwoman. She could handle everything on her own.
And most of the time, she was actually able to do so as well.
Now, learning that she was related to the Gou family, Gong Quibai was momentarily stunned. She had been working in this hospital for so long, how could she not know the prestige of the Gou family that had been medical practitioners for generations?
Gong Quibai looked at Mu Chenyan who looked carefree as usual. She could joke around and no one would say anything to her.
Just a moment ago, she wanted to do something for Mu Chenyan by using her authority as the doctor in this hospital. But it was just as Mu Chenyan had said, she didn't need their help at all. After all, the hospital belonged to her family. Perhaps, Mu Chenyan even had more say in this hospital than they did even after working here for years.
"Aunt!" called out Xiao Liang. "Why don't you come home for a meal?"
Mu Chenyan looked at the boy and said, "I'm very busy, kid."
"Oh," Xiao Liang's lips turned down.
"How can you refuse a kid like this?"
Hearing the question from Uncle Gou and asked, "I don't even mind saying no to you. Why can't I say no to him?" She took a pause and added, "I really have no time these days, my dear Uncle Dongdong. Don't be mad." She even ticked his chin like he was a kid she was trying to placate.
Xiao Liang pursed his lips. He had never seen his grandfather being treated like this by anyone. No wonder his father always said, only their Aunt Chenyan can be a match for their grandfather. He so wanted to record this scene and share it in his cousin's group chat. But then again, he decided against it.
Only he should get to see this exclusive scene.
"What are you busy with?" asked Uncle Gou.
"If I tell you, your blood pressure is gonna shoot again," said Mu Chenyan. "So, it's better I don't tell you."
Just that was enough to tell him that she was up to no good. But then again, she had never been up to any good in life. And here he thought she became sensible since she became the guardian of Raelle. He was really overthinking, eh!
"Xiao Liang, you come over to my place," said Mu Chenyan to Xiao Liang. "Although we don't have anyone of your age at our place, you'll still have a good time. I promise."
Xiao Liang was immediately happy and asked, "Then Aunt, when should I come?"
"Anytime," answered Mu Chenyan. "Whenever you're free."
"I'll soon have summer vacation," announced Xiao Liang. "I'll come to see you. And when I do, can you play basketball with me?" Even if he rarely saw this aunt, he still couldn't forget her. She was a legend in the whole family. Everyone in the younger generation looked up to her.
Mu Chenyan rubbed his head, "Okay. I'll see how much you practiced in these years."
"I won't disappoint you," said Xiao Liang.
