Chapter 845 Lack Of Trust
Although Mu Chenyan asked Xiang Wai and Xiang Weimin to leave, they were still standing outside. Well, one was standing while the other had her ear stuck to the closed door trying to hear what was happening inside. But the voices inside were low so she couldn't understand anything.
Xiang Weimin could only shake his head at his sister's actions. What else could he do now?
"Why can't I hear anything?" asked Xiang Wai in exasperation.
"Then why don't you give up already?" retorted Xiang Weimin.
"Ge, I'm not the kind of person to give up so easily," said Xiang Wai.
Xiang Weimin nodded his head as he said, "Indeed." After all, if it was easy to give up, why would she hold on to Zhai Yanjun for ten years?
When she couldn't hear anything, she stood beside her brother and asked, "What do you think they are talking about? Do you think they are fighting?"
"Are you forgetting that our mother doesn't fight?"
Xiang Wai nodded but added, "But our aunt does."
"Aunt would never get into a fight with someone who can't defend," said Xiang Weimin.
"That's also true," Xiang Wai muttered to herself. "Our Aunt has really lived a very colorful life. I mean she even made a bride run from her wedding. All hail, Aunt Yan! She is powerful!"
Xiang Weimin gave her a strange look, "Sis, you seem to be particularly interested in this matter."
"My admiration for her has reached a peak now, Ge," said Xiang Wai. "I couldn't move the heart of a guy after years and yet she bent someone. Shouldn't I admire her?" She tsked to herself, "Papa was always right. My Aunt could really publish a book named, 'Adventures of Brother Yan.'"
"Did dad say that to you?" asked Xiang Weimin.
"Yeah," Xiang Wai nodded her head.
"Should we leave?"
"No," she shook her head. "Let's wait. We are going to the same home. Why not go back with Aunt?"
Xiang Weimin shrugged, "Sure."
"Ge, are you tired? Should I bring a chair to make you comfortable?"
"I'm fine," said Xiang Weimin. "Don't fuss."
"Oh..." She pursed her lips and thought about something before bringing up the topic, "Ge, your routine visit to the doctor is coming in two days. I'll go with you to the hospital, okay?"
Xiang Weimin's lips curled up. How could he not understand her intention when she was making it so obvious? "There is no need for that. I can walk on my own."
"I'll drive the car," offered Xiang Wai.
"We have a chauffeur at home," said Xiang Weimin.
"What if you need something?" asked Xiang Wai. "When visiting a doctor, one should always go with a family member. You can trust me. I'll take good care of you."
Xiang Weimin sighed, "Even if you come with me to the hospital, there is a high chance you won't get to see Raelle." He had to remind her so that she could stop looking for excuses to tag along with him.
Xiang Wai cleared her throat and rubbed her nose saying, "What are you saying Ge? I'm just worried about you. Of course, I know I might not get to see her."
"Fine, I'll take you with me since you're making so many excuses," said Xiang Weimin.
She looked happy when she heard that, "Thanks, Ge! But you can't blame me for that. You have a ready-made excuse to visit the hospital. I have to work myself and look for my own excuses."
"Today isn't your day," said Xiang Weimin. "In the morning, you're looking for excuses to squirm your way out of the blind date, and now this. Both times, you seemed to fail."
"How did I fail? Didn't you agree to take me with you?"
"I only took pity on you."
Xiang Wai made a face at him. She was again reminded of that stupid blind date. What a mess!
The door of the private room opened. Mu Chenyan and Song Xin'ai came out. Xiang Wai looked at both of them carefully from the top of their heads to the tips of their toes. Nothing seemed amiss. Not even a hair was out of place. It seemed the talk was quite civil.
"Are you worried that I beat your mother?" asked Mu Chenyan.
Xiang Wai grinned, "There is always a possibility of that."
Song Xin'ai chuckled softly while Mu Chenyan gaped in disbelief. "Don't worry, daughter. Your Aunt isn't that unreasonable."
"Dear niece, your lack of trust in me is hurtful."
Xiang Wai scratched the tip of her nose as she told, "Grandfather said, I can expect anything from you. There is nothing that you don't dare to do. Only things you don't want to do. He said Raelle got this attitude from you."
Mu Chenyan tsked, "Elder Xiang is really ruining my image now." She shook her head and looked at her niece and nephew, "Didn't I tell you both to leave?"
"We're waiting for you," replied Xiang Wai.
"We thought since we have the same destination, we can go back together," added Xiang Weimin.
Mu Chenyan nodded her head, "Oh... Then let's go now. You all already had lunch and so did I. How about I treat you to some bubble tea?"
"Okay," Xiang Wai readily agreed to the suggestion. Then she wrapped her arm around Mu Chenyan's arm and asked, "By the way, Aunt, your life adventures sound very interesting. How about sharing some more? Something like that bride..."
Before she could continue, Mu Chenyan placed her hand on her mouth to stop her, "Darling, let's not walk down that road."
"Aunt~" Xiang Wai dragged her voice and even leaned her body towards Mu Chenyan acting a little spoiled.
Song Xin'ai was walking behind them with Xiang Weimin by her side. Her eyes were glued on her daughter who seemed to have become expressive. Whenever she saw Xiang Wai at her maternal family's house, her daughter was always alone and quiet. She had no interest in even acting spoiled with her own mother but now, she was willing to play tricks on Mu Chenyan. Song Xin'ai's heart relaxed when she saw that.
