Chapter 792 Virtuous Lady
"Uncle Yu!" called out Zhai Kuijun and stood up to greet him. He actually stood so straight that it looked funny.
However, Xiang Hulin didn't dare laugh in front of his father.
From this could be seen that his father's prestige was still great. Even Zhai Kuijun was still a little scared of him at this age. Xiang Hulin had to say, Grandfather Xiang was only good to the people of his granddaughter's generation. As for everyone from his son's generation, they were terrified of the terror he once was.
"Relax," said Grandfather Xiang. "You're acting as if I'm gonna eat you or something."
Zhai Kuijun laughed awkwardly, "No, no. That's not what I meant."
"Just sit down," said Grandfather Xiang. "How did you decide to come to see us?"
"I have been planning to pay you a visit for a while," told Zhai Kuijun. "It just kept delaying because of some matters."
Grandfather Xiang was actually observing Zhai Kuijun intently. He was meeting him after years. But the main reason for him to look so closely at Zhai Kuijun this time around was that he was looking at Zhai Kuijun as Hyson's father. Before this, he always faced Zhai Kuijun as his friend's son and nothing more than that.
Meanwhile, Zhai Kuijun who didn't know what Grandfather Xiang was thinking felt very intimidated by his gaze. He was actually sweating right now. He couldn't believe he was still so suppressed before Grandfather Xiang.
Even Xiang Hulin could tell what his father was doing and he could understand what his friend was going through. But he really couldn't help him right now. He was no match for his father even now. It was better to stay far away from this matter to save himself. He could only say sorry to his friend mentally for abandoning him at this time.
"Uncle, how is your health?" asked Zhai Kuijun as he tried to get rid of this intimidating silence that seemed to have an invisible grasp around his neck and was squeezing it.
"At my age, you always have a few health problems," said Grandfather Xiang casually. "It's no big deal. But I should be asking you, why do you look so frail?"
Zhai Kuijun was taken aback by his question, "I'm absolutely fine. I just didn't sleep well last night. Maybe that's why I'm looking so out of sorts."
"Is that so?"
"Yes," reassured Zhai Kuijun.
"I heard you got a divorce," mentioned Grandfather Xiang.
Zhai Kuijun stiffened before replying, "Yes, I got divorced. Uncle is still well informed."
"It's not like I want to know about your personal matters," said Grandfather Xiang. "Clearly, you don't realize the waves your ex-wife had been creating since the divorce."
Zhai Kuijun frowned, "What do you mean, Uncle Yu?"
"You should find out yourself," replied Grandfather Xiang.
He didn't continue to talk when he noticed Xiang Wai coming with a maid who served the tea and the snacks for everyone.
"Do you need anything else, Grandpa?" asked Xiang Wai.
"You should ask our guest," replied Grandfather Xiang.
"Uncle?" Xiang Wai turned to Zhai Kuijun.
He shook his head and smiled at her, "I don't need anything." He took a pause to add, "But I see you are really taking care of your grandfather well."
"Why? Are you surprised?" asked Xiang Wai.
"Truthfully, I am a little surprised," answered Zhai Kuijun honestly. "But I'm also happy to see you like this."
Xiang Wai gaped at him, "Woah! Uncle, you wanted me to become a virtuous lady all this while?"
"What? No!" said Zhai Kuijun. "But I was hoping that you'd learn to take care of yourself and those around you instead of running around all the time without any care for your life."
"That sounds more like what Ge does," she retorted.
"No, you're also the same," he said.
"You don't have to be so nitpicky with my granddaughter," remarked Grandfather Xiang. "It's not like you're gonna make her your daughter-in-law."
Xiang Wai was stunned when she heard her grandfather saying that and pursed her lips. She laughed that comment off nonchalantly before saying, "I'm gonna go and find my Ge." She just exited the living room when she ran into Mu Chenyan and asked, "Aunt, the house is very quiet today."
Mu Chenyan smiled at her, "Wai if you want to ask where Fai is, just ask. No need to go round about it." She shook her head and answered, "He went to deliver fresh juice to Raelle."
"Huh?"
"Yes, he had to do it himself," answered Mu Chenyan.
"He can really use all sorts of excuses, eh?" asked Xiang Wai in surprise.
"That's one of his talents," replied Mu Chenyan.
Since they were talking at the door, the people inside the living room all heard them clearly. Zhai Kuijun couldn't help asking, "Hyson lives here?"
"Why? He isn't allowed to?" asked Grandfather Xiang.
"No, that's not what I was saying," said Zhai Kuijun. He was just asking because he was curious, okay? No need to get offended by that.
"Elder Xiang, it's time for your leg massage," came Mu Chenyan's voice from the door. She didn't even come inside to see who was sitting inside.
"Father, let me help you," said Xiang Hulin.
"There is no need," replied Grandfather Xiang. "You sit with your friend. Chenyan will manage it."
"Then I'll just take you back to your room," said Xiang Hulin and didn't wait for a response from his father. He was eager to do something for his father. Anything would be fine. But apparently, everything was done by Mu Chenyan. "I'll be right back," he said to Zhai Kuijun who nodded his head in response.
When he was alone in the room, he picked up a cake and bit into it. After that, he sipped on the tea. Then he stood up to look around the living room. He was standing before the window that looked over the backyard and just casually looked over.
