Chapter 1219 Under Attack
"Also, if that woman really ended up in the hospital after just that, then her mental ability is too weak," added Raelle. "Next time, she should really refrain from coming in front of me."
"Some people don't learn," said Xiang Wai. "I'm telling you this from experience, she will come again. And she won't come alone this time."
"What? Can't handle me alone so she retreated to bring more support?"
Xiang Wai nodded, "That's exactly what's on her mind."
"Then let her be," said Raelle. "I'll see what she can do to me."
Xiang Wai smiled at that, "Even I'm looking forward to it."
"By the way, is she really Professor Song's sister?" asked Raelle.
"Not really," answered Xiang Wai. "If you think about it strictly, she is actually mom's cousin. However, she was raised by our mom's parents. And not only that, she was more loved in that family than mom."
"I was wondering how Professor Song can have such a brainless sister."
"You'd be surprised if you got to see the rest of them. What do they say, bad bamboo shoot in one family. Yup. Something like that. Mom is considered the bad bamboo shoot and in fact, by that I mean, she is the only odd one out in that family."
"So, are you sure she is family?"
Xiang Wai sighed, "I had my doubts too. But it's certain that it's family."
"At this point, I think we should say Professor Song managed to cummulate whatever intelligence was left in the genes of the Song family. And left nothing for the rest."
"Pfft!" Xiang Wai laughed out loud. "I really like the way you insult people. As long as I'm not the one getting dissed."
"Well, I can see that. You seem to be enjoying this way too much," said Raelle.
"Let me be happy. You owe it to me after making my blood pressure high earlier!"
"I, Raelle Xiang don't owe anyone, anything!" After that, Raelle looked at Mu Chenyan, "So, you really just used Justin and Major as an excuse to gather everyone out for a meal?"
"What is wrong with that? A family that eats together, stays together. It's good for bonding. See? How you all just bonded over all that childish bickering. It warms my heart to see such a lively scene."
"Really?"
Mu Chenyan gave her a look, "Aren't you tired of seeing just two faces at the dinner table all your life? What's wrong with seeing some more people? Let's get used to it, darling. Can we do that?"
"Can."
"That's good baby."
"I'm not a kid," reminded Raelle.
"I know," answered Mu Chenyan. However, in her mind she was thinking that she needed to be more patient and careful with Raelle than with a kid like Justin. So, it was a little more difficult and tiring. Not that she mind. "Oh, wait! I have more to say!"
"Are you getting married?" asked Raelle.
"No," replied Mu Chenyan. "You're getting married."
"Nothing new about that," replied Raelle. "So, what is it? Are you pregnant?"
Xia Zhao almost spurted out the tea in his mouth when he heard that while Mu Chenyan's lips twitched at her words, "Elle, look at me. I'm this old. Why would I be pregnant? Why do you even have this thought?"
"Why can't you be pregnant?"
"I'm not married."
"Who stipulated you have to be married to be pregnant?" asked Raelle.
Mu Chenyan pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer that. Taking a deep breath, she said, "Baby, I'm not pregnant. Okay? I'm fine with just having you."
"Did you ask the person sitting beside you about this?"
Mu Chenyan looked at Xia Zhao who was beside her before asking, "Why would I need to ask him?"
"Because having a baby or not is not just your business alone. You can't decide this alone. You need to ask for the opinion of the baby's father."
"Oh my gosh! Elle, why are we having this stupid discussion?"
"It's a very serious matter concerning your future. Why is it stupid? And if you really think it's a stupid discussion, I can only say that lately, I've been into stupid discussions a lot. You can ask my husband."
As she looked at Shui Xian, he was a bit taken aback but still said, "Whatever my wife says is never stupid."
"You can just be honest right now," said Raelle.
"Okay. She is really into it lately. Just go along with it. Can't you do that, Yanyan?"
"You're not the one under attack right now, Xian!"
"What makes you think I wasn't under attack before?" asked Shui Xian. He didn't mean anything by that but he was very clear that they were having too many stupid discussion lately. No matter who started it, they could talk for hours. On the way here, they already had two stupid discussions.
Mu Chenyan stared at him but he didn't back down and stared back very innocently. Then she stared at Raelle who was just as usual. Finally, she had to give in. Okay, she didn't know why her Elle was suddenly talking about all this but she could only go along with it. There was no way around. Who told her to be Raelle's aunt?
"I also agree with Yenay," said Grandfather Xiang. "She didn't say anything wrong. It was definitely not a stupid discussion but a very serious discussion. Don't get worked up, Chenyan and think about seriously. We understand that you aren't getting married now, but are you really not getting married forever? You gotta have this idea in your head or else, it's better to let Zhao go. Don't hand him around even if he is more happy to do so."
Mu Chenyan met Xia Zhao's eyes with a complicated look in her eyes while his eyes were too clear, without any impatience, any hesitation, any question, or even any grievance. He was just look at her like he always did. In the end, she had to look away first.
