Chapter 549 - Hyper

This had to be the first time for Shui Koshing to see Mu Chenyan looking so out of sorts. She was acting like a fool who didn't even know how to react. But that fact alone was enough to show just how much Xiang Weimin being here meant to her. Shui Koshing didn't have to be a genius like Raelle to figure out Xiang Weimin's identity.

Just from Mu Chenyan's reaction, he had figured out somewhat. He stepped closer to Mu Chenyan and whispered, "Aren't you planning on inviting him in?"

Mu Chenyan was startled and her eyes widened in realization. That's right! What the hell was she doing right now? She looked back at the security booth inside the iron gates and shouted, "What the hell are you doing? Why haven't you opened the gate? The eldest young master of the family is standing out here under the sun and you all are not even welcoming him?!"

The security people were all stunned by Mu Chenyan's roar. They were scared of Mu Chenyan on normal days much less now that she seemed to be angry. They could tell they were toast now. But the worst part was that Xiang Weimin didn't even try to enter. He just stood outside on the road. How would they know he was planning to come inside?

The iron gates opened and Mu Chenyan turned back to look at Xiang Weimin, "Let's go inside. Your grandfather would be so surprised to see you here." She was giggling like a little girl at the thought of how Grandfather Xiang would react. Xiang Weimin was about to follow her when Mu Chenyan stopped and looked back at him with a frown, "Wait. Get back in the car. The driveway is long. You shouldn't walk that much. No, you shouldn't even be out of your bed right now."

Xiang Weimin raised his brow at her in surprise. From her words, it was obvious that she knew about his injury. And it seemed she knew even more details than most. Now, that was another thing he didn't expect.

"Don't just stand there, get inside the car," instructed Mu Chenyan. Then she said to his driver, "Soldier, you can just drive him in." After that, she went to the security booth making everyone there shudder in fear. However, currently, she had no plan to deal with them. She took out two hoverboards and passed one to Shui Koshing while she got on the other. 

"I don't know how to use it," said Shui Koshing with a frown. 

"Then learn to use it, old man!" was Mu Chenyan's response. "I'm in a hurry so I'm taking off now. See you inside!"

Shui Koshing was left hesitating. Not because he didn't know how to use the hoverboard but because he wasn't sure if he should really go inside the Xiang Villa now or not? He was obviously here for Grandfather Xiang but now... He wasn't certain if his Uncle Yu would even have time. Wouldn't he be intruding into their family reunion?

Mu Chenyan wooshed and soon came to stand beside Xiang Weimin's car. She smiled at him and almost dragged him in but had to hold herself back again. She politely asked with some hesitation in her voice, "Come inside?"

"I'm already here," was Xiang Weimin's reply. "Why won't I go inside now?"

Mu Chenyan was happy to hear that and walked over to the wooden door. She opened it with her fingerprint and opened the door wide for him. With every step, she'd look back to see if he was behind. Xiang Weimin was also looking but at the house.

She led him to the living room, "You should make yourself comfortable here. I'll bring Elder Xiang." She skipped in excitement and ran to find Grandfather Xiang. 

"Elder Xiang!" She barged into Grandfather Xiang's room without even knocking. And that was a first for her. Grandfather Xiang was lying on the chaise chair with a thin blanket on his legs. His eyes were closed but he wasn't sleeping. Even if he was, with how loud Mu Chenyan was he'd definitely wake up.

"Is the sky falling down?" asked Grandfather Xiang.

"No," she replied.

"Then what is up with you?" asked Grandfather Xiang and frowned suddenly. "Did something happen to Yenay?"

"Say something nice, Elder Xiang. Why would anything happen to my Elle?" she retorted.

Grandfather Xiang heaved a sigh of relief and looked relaxed now as he inquired further, "If that's not the case, then what is getting you so hyper?"

"This is a good kind of hyper!" grinned Mu Chenyan. "Forget all this and come out with me." She pushed his wheelchair close to him and called his personal attendants to put him on the wheelchair. Then she put his blanket on his legs and pulled him out of the room.

"Chenyan, with your age, it's getting difficult to handle you," commented Grandfather Xiang. "I know your energy is increasing with age but mine is draining. Have mercy on this old man."

"In a moment, you'll feel young again," said Mu Chenyan vaguely. 

Hearing the voices, Xiang Weimin stood up and turned to look back. 

"Surprise!" said Mu Chenyan to Grandfather Xiang who was left frozen. His reaction wasn't much different than her own. 

There was a look of surprise, happiness, longing, disbelief, and also some cautiousness in his eyes. And none of this escaped Xiang Weimin's eyes. He actually felt a bit stifled when he realized how both of them had that cautiousness when they looked at him.

"Hello, Grandfather!" greeted Xiang Weimin as he came to stand before Grandfather Xiang, pulling him out of his daze.

Mu Chenyan was so happy when she heard him calling Grandfather Xiang like that. Even she felt her eyes sting much less Grandfather Xiang who felt like his tears would fall.. But he was embarrassed to cry before his grandson. How old was he? Why was he getting so sentimental now?
