Chapter 1021: Same Old Drama

Chapter 1021: Same Old DramaAlthough Zhai Kuijun's intentions weren't all that pure, that didn't mean he was willing to hear about that from Shui Koshing.        

Shui Koshing narrowed his eyes at him saying, "Are you forgetting?" Zhai Kuijun frowned as he went on, "If you've forgotten, let me remind you. Yue Yue is the only cousin sister that my wife acknowledged. That means, she is my little sister as well. I won't allow you to hurt her."    

"Have I ever hurt her?"    

"Haven't you?" retorted Shui Koshing. "You and I both know very well what you did or didn't do."    

Zhai Kuijun clenched his fists but didn't say anything. Actually, he really had nothing to say right now. Originally, the relationship between Shui Koshing and Zhai Kuijun wasn't actually bad. After all, with the friendship between their fathers, there was still some civility involved when they met each other. But once Yue Yue disappeared, things changed.      

Whether it was Zhai Kuijun or Qian Yin, they both were frantically looking for Yue Yue but they both couldn't find any clue. Qian Yin blamed Zhai Kuijun for not protecting her and Zhai Kuijun had nothing to say in his defense. Even at that time, it was an undeniable fact that Yue Lan kicked out Yue Yue and Yue Lan was Zhai Kuijun's wife.    

Qian Yin had started disliking Zhai Kuijun for inviting a snake into his house and ruining everything.      

At that time, Zhai Kuijun might not have understood what she meant but later, he couldn't deny anything. So, he kept his distance from Qian Yin because he couldn't take in her words. Later she died and the distance between him and Shui Koshing grew.      

"Koshing," called out Zhai Kuijun as he lowered his stance. "I never had any intention of hurting Yue Yue and you know that too. I still have no such intention. You of all people know very well how much time and effort I've spent trying to find her. She had always been very dear to me. I wouldn't be here if Yue Yue wasn't happy to see me."    

Shui Koshing couldn't continue his argument because he knew Yue Yue was really happy to see Zhai Kuijun. It was Zhai Kuijun's place in her heart that no one could shake. Not even time and bitterness came between them.    

"Then you make sure she stays happy," warned Shui Koshing. But Zhai Kuijun was glad to hear that because it meant Shui Koshing was willing to step back as well.    

"You should let loose now," said Zhai Kuijun. "We are practically in-laws now."    

"What did you say?"    

"Your son is also married to a Xiang and my son is soon to be married to a Xiang as well. So, technically, aren't we in-laws?"    

"And here I thought I won't ever have anything to do with you," said Shui Koshing.    

"You don't hate me as much as you always make it seem," said Zhai Kuijun. "After all, you really like my son."    

"Yanjun is Yanjun. He is a good kid. I'm surprised someone like you and your wife even got lucky when it came to giving birth to a son like him."    

Zhai Kuijun sighed, "Even I'm surprised." He took a pause and added, "But you're also lucky. You have a good son."    

"I do," said Shui Koshing proudly. "I have an even better daughter-in-law."    

Zhai Kuijun gave him a look.    

"What? Do you think I'm wrong? You wanna say something?"    

Zhai Kuijun shook his head, "No, thanks. I have nothing to say to that. Let's not start with who has a better son or a daughter-in-law. It's not our age for that."    

"Then what?"    

"Let's wait a few years to get grandchildren," added Zhai Kuijun making Shui Koshing almost choke on air. "We'll start the competition again with who has a smarter grandkid."    

Shui Koshing took a moment to digest his words but then he accepted it calmly and even said, "With my Raelle's IQ, you want to actually compete on who would have a smarter grandkid. Just drop it and accept your defeat without a fight."    

"Koshing, you're going too far."        

"I'm just stating the obvious," replied Shui Koshing.    

"When did you become like this?" asked Zhai Kuijun in surprise.    

"When you're busy fighting a bitter divorce battle with your ex-wife," Shui Koshing shot back.    

As they both stared at each other again, suddenly, Zhai Kuijun said, "Do you hear something?"    

"I do," answered Shui Koshing as he walked out of the kitchen to follow the voices.      

Zhai Kuijun also followed behind him to see what was going on and why were there loud voices coming. They both followed the voices and came to the main door. They were surprised to see Yue Yue standing outside.    

As the voice became clearer, Zhai Kuijun actually felt this voice was familiar and when he walked to the door, he realized why this voice was familiar. Wasn't this the voice of Madam Yue? Yue Yue's birth mother who happened to be even worse than a stepmother.    

Currently, Madam Yue was being held by two maids as she called out to Yue Yue with tears rolling down her face. If anyone saw this scene without any context, they'd really assume that Yue Yue was bullying her aged mother right now. But whether it was Zhai Kuijun or Shui Koshing, they knew what kind of a person Yue Yue was.    

She couldn't even bully an ant on the ground, much less her own mother.    

"What's going on here?" asked Shui Koshing as he stepped beside Yue Yue.      

Yue Yue was feeling a headache coming on from her mother's voice and when she found Shui Koshing beside her, she finally found someone to lean on, 'It's the same old drama that I'm tired of.'    

Hearing this much, Shui Koshing actually figured out the matter instantly. What else could be? Madam Yue must be here to force Yue Yue once again like old times to do something for Yue Lan. Times changed but some things really didn't change, eh?
