Chapter 647 Broke Your Family

Chapter 647 Broke Your Family　　While the dinner banquet was full of drama, Mu Chenyan was sitting in the club with her niece and nephew. Oh, her best friend was there right beside her as well but Yue Yue had passed out long ago. So, her head was now lying on the table and she was oblivious to how much the other three drank before calling it a night.

Mu Chenyan hadn't booked a private room. They were sitting in a circular black leather sofa booth. The club wasn't rowdy or boisterous. It was a high-class club so even if they weren't in the private room, it was still their personal space and felt rather private as well.

Following Raelle's advice, Mu Chenyan had asked the waiter to get some lime water for the Xiang siblings and as for Yue Yue, she'd just let her best friend sleep. Because even if she tried, she won't be able to wake her up at this time. Since it was pointless, she'd rather not waste her time on it.

"Wai! Drink some lime water," said Mu Chenyan. "Weimin, you too! Sober up a little. I can't take you both home this way. Even if Elder Xiang slept by the time we reached, he has eyes and ears everywhere in that house. He'll have me kneel on a durian if he learned I made you both this drunk."

While saying that, Mu Chenyan didn't forget to take a sip of her drink again.

Xiang Wai drank the lime water and her senses became clearer. She wasn't a complete lost cause like Yue Yue. Of course, she still had her sensibility and she was very aware of her surroundings as well. With the nature of their jobs, it was obvious that both Xiang Wai and Xiang Weimin were very good drinkers. Their harsh training wasn't a joke but they still fell in front of Mu Chenyan who seemed like a bottomless pit!

How come she just didn't get drunk?

Okay, Mu Chenyan was drunk but not just to their states. 

"Aunt, just how much can you drink?" asked Xiang Wai.

"A lot," answered Mu Chenyan casually.

"Aunt, be specific!"

Mu Chenyan shrugged, "I can't be specific, the only thing I can tell you is that I have never passed out. Never ever!"

"Wow! You're awesome!" Xiang Wai gave her a thumbs up trying to keep her eyes open. She placed her arms on the table and placed her face on her hands as she continued to look at Mu Chenyan.

"Do you have something to ask, Wai?"

Xiang Wai nodded her head, "I do. I feel like I have so many questions for you. And I also feel like you'd have all the answers that I'm looking for."

"Then just ask," said Mu Chenyan. "I don't mind answering. If I can, I definitely will."

Xiang Wai took a while to ask, "Aunt, do you hate my mother?"

Mu Chenyan was stunned to hear that question but she suddenly smiled and shook her head, "Nope. I never hated my sister-in-law. Not even once in my life."

"But why? Don't you think she broke your family?" asked Xiang Wai. "I can tell you really love this family. Then why don't you hate her for taking it from you?"

Mu Chenyan took a deep breath and took another sip of her drink, "My family is still my family. Even if it's broken, the family is still mine and no one can take that from me. It's true that I really love this family but the distance didn't manage to take that love from me. This family is still as important to me as ever." She took a pause and looked into Xiang Wai's eyes, "As for hating your mother, why should I do that? She wasn't the one who asked my Ge to leave the family. She only asked for a divorce and as a person, she deserved her freedom. Maybe she finally thought divorce was the best choice. I can't judge her for that and neither can I hate her for that. I wasn't part of that relationship. In fact, I don't think even my Ge hates her for that."

Xiang Wai was quiet for a while before she hummed, "Yes, even Papa doesn't hate her. Whenever I ask him why he just gives me a smile and brushes the topic off. I don't even understand him."

"He was always difficult to understand," said Mu Chenyan. "When Ge and Song Xin'ai fell in love, it was a passionate love. Anyone could see they really loved each other. However, your grandmother had said back then that their relationship won't work out. She didn't come between Ge and Song Xin'ai because she believed she had no right to stop her son from following his heart. However, she also warned him to think it through."

"And how did grandmother know it wouldn't work out?" asked Xiang Wai in confusion.

"I also asked her that question," started Mu Chenyan recalling the memory. "She said, 'My son doesn't know how to express himself in words and Song Xin'ai lacks attention in her life. What she craves the most is compliments from her loved ones, attention, love, and care. She wants to become the center of attention for once. And even though my son loves her, he won't be able to do justice. Because he thinks actions speak louder than words but he doesn't realize that sometimes, some people just want to hear words.'" Mu Chenyan sighed, "I don't know if she was right or not. What I know is that before the talk of divorce started, your parents never had a fight. Not even a single disagreement or an argument. But then suddenly, Song Xin'ai wanted a divorce."

"You never asked why she wanted the divorce?" asked Xiang Wai.

Mu Chenyan shook her head, "That wasn't my place to ask. It can never be my place to ask. I did want to ask my Ge but I was afraid of hurting him so I dropped the topic altogether."
