Chapter 945: [Bonus chapter] Cat Slave
Mu Chenyan didn't know who came to see her today out of nowhere. She didn't think any of her acquaintances would show up straight at her home without informing her. After all, no matter what land of statuses they had, every single of them was scared of Grandfather Xiang and would rather call her out to meet than at her home.
You see, plenty of times they were caught together with Mu Chenyan while wreaking havoc and then the mighty Elder Xiang of his younger days would make them do horse stances for hours or make them swim in the freezing cold river. All in all, the military punishment wasn't good. She knew since she also had to join them. There was no such thing as tenderness for the fairer sex.
And since those younger days, all of her 'friends' had a psychological shadow. Besides, the maid said it was a young lady who came to see her. How many young ladies does she know? She could count them on her hands. "Hi!" Mu Chenyan greeted the young lady who had her back towards her. The young woman turned around to face her and a toothy grin appeared on her face as she called out, "Gugu(patemal aunt)!" Mu Chenyan felt a vein ticking in her temple when she faced this girl and almost rolled her eyes, "Jinjin, what are you doing here?"0 Gou Jinjin rushed over and hugged Mu Chenyan tightly saying, "I wanted to meet you." "How old are you? What's with the hugs?" Although Mu Chenyan sounded like she was berating her niece, she didn't actually push her away. Well, who made her the world's most awesome aunt? She had only so many nieces and she doted on each one. 0 "Gugu! Gugu! Gugu!" Gou Jinjin kept calling her while shaking her body making Mu Chenyan laugh.
"And here I thought you're like me, what's with this coquettish behavior? How is this like me?"
"Hehe! I only do this with my favorite Gugu!" said Gou Jinjin. "I missed you so much. I haven't seen you in a long time."
"Well, whose fault is that? I've been here for almost a year now. It's the first time you came to see me," said Mu Chenyan as she poked her forehead. "Isn't it because you didn't even tell anyone you're coming?" retorted Gou Jinjin. "Do you think if I knew you're here, I'll wait until now to show up? If it wasn't for Raelle's hospitalization, I still wouldn't have known that you came back to the country." "You're clearly not very well informed," said Mu Chenyan feeling no burden regarding the fact that she indeed didn't inform anyone from her maternal family about her return. Well, in her defense she told no one about her return. Those who learned about her return were just well-informed people. Not like she purposely announced her whereabouts. If she did that, she won't have peace for a day.
It had been so quiet since she came back but now, slowly people were learning that she was back and trouble won't be far.
"Raelle had been hospitalized for a while and she did tell me about meeting you too, why didn't you come after that?" asked Mu Chenyan. "I was waiting for Raelle to get discharged," replied Gou Jinjin. "I figured you'd be happier once she recovers so I waited patiently. Also, I was going through some serious heartbreak"
"Who broke my niece's heart? Don't they who your Gugu is? Which bastard is it?^€0 Gou Jinjin chuckled, "It's my cat." Mu Chenyan was dumbfounded when she heard that. "My cat disowned me, Gugu! Can you believe it? I pampered her like a princess but she disowned me for a pretty-faced boyfriend! How despicable! She chose love over her mother! What a tragic fate I have."0 Mu Chenyan heard her seriously before sighing, "You're definitely my niece. There is no doubt." 0 She didn't know what else to say. Seriously, she was worried for a minute because Gou Jinjin indeed looked heartbroken and Mu Chenyan was ready to throw hands. Who knew this heartbreak story was about a cat? What could Mu Chenyan do about this? Go and kidnap the cat back? Hmm... Sounds like a good idea. 0 "How about I kidnap your cat back?" suggested Mu Chenyan. Gou Jinjinn sighed heavily, "Forget it, Gugu. I thought about it a lot and realized that I can't keep people from leaving. It's the destiny of parents to say goodbye to their princesses. I can't always keep her with me. You also had to say goodbye to Raelle and send her away." 0 Wow! She just compared Raelle to her cat. What an analogy! Mu Chenyan laughed out heartily and rubbed her head, "Aiyo! There is definitely a reason why I like you." "As long as Gugu likes me, I can overcome anything," replied Gan Jinjin. She actually looked different than usual. She certainly was looking dispirited. It seemed the betrayal of her cat really hit this cat slave. Ahem. Cat mother. She even died her hair back to black from her flamboyant red ones. Now, she looked more like someone who worked at a hospital but those dark circles and tired looks on her face were ruining her good looks a little bit. There was a reason Gou Jinjin was so close to Mu Chenyan. Not just because they were similar in temperament. It was also because Gou Jinjin didn't wait for Mu Chenyan to come and visit the Gou family over the holidays. She'd find time to go and look for Mu Chenyan instead. That's why she really developed a close relationship with this aunt who usually kept her distance from the family. "Come inside, there are a lot of people here tonight," said Mu Chenyan. "I'll introduce you to everyone. Then I'll feed you a hearty meal. There is nothing that can't be solved with food. Good food is the solution to all the troubles in the world.."
