Chapter 1377 Rumors

Raelle did as she said. It's not like she didn't hear anything these days. She wasn't deaf. Even if people usually refrained from gossiping in front of her, she still would hear a few things from here and there. Especially since she had new assistants, one of whom was very good at gossiping. Although she was good at her work too, she loved to get some extra gossip added to her work to make everything enjoyable. And it was that assistant who told her what rumors had been flying about. And she did hear about the talk of pre-nuptial too. Someone even dared to suggest to her to be careful when it comes to property matters.

She didn't take any of that seriously. She wouldn't pay attention to it unless it affected her personal life. And now, it did. The matter reached Shui Koshing who even heard it from the people of his clan who were living in a whole different province. What did it show? It showed that people were getting too unrestrained.

Raelle made some calls to find out who were the people who started all this and who were the ones standing at the front line. Even if she couldn't deal with every wagging tongue, she could still pull a few out to give them a lashing to teach them a good lesson and make them a lesson for others too.

Seeing how she kept making calls, Shui Xian pinched his brows. He actually didn't want her to get involved. But since she was, he couldn't stay behind either. She could deal with the outsiders but his 'blood-related' relatives were up to him to handle.

Years ago, when his father left his position as the patriarch and left the city to settle down here with Shui Xian, he thought they'd be making a clean break from those relatives. But these relatives really didn't know when to give up. Just because they were not invited to his wedding, they were going rampant now? Did he still look like the young Shui Xian who was too devastated to deal with them after taking the blow of his divorce? He still hadn't forgiven himself for not being able to stand by his father during that time.

But he was more than capable of being his father's shield now. Shui Koshing had no interest in anything else apart from living each day lazily, happily, and just carefreely. But these relatives kept bringing different issues to him to pull him back to their mess. Now, they were even dragging him to hurt his father once again. How could he let that happen?

Ma Jun sucked in his breath, "Isn't that subsidiary under your cousin's management?"

"Exactly! That's why my dear cousin should also know what he can talk about and what he can't talk about."

Ma Jun didn't know why his Master was suddenly willing to deal such heavy blows to the Shui family when he had always been indifferent to them over the years. It's not like Shui Xian had no dirt over the Shui family or that he had no reason to attack them, but he always avoided dealing with them for the sake of his father who still respected his blood connections.

He wondered what happened this time to push the last straw and force Shui Xian to show his cards.

On the other hand, Shui Xian didn't think he was being cruel at all. Actually, he always took that side of the family as jumping clowns and didn't want to take them seriously. That's why he didn't deemed them worthy enough of his attention over the years. But now, they were not only being disrespecting his father but were also making up stories about his wife.

He knew that rumors about him and Raelle weren't a big deal. He could handle them any other way but he still had to show his stance to make it clear to some people that he won't always stay as harmless as they thought he was. He also had his bottom line and he refused to let anyone insult his wife.

Shui Koshing sat and looked at these two people making phone calls and wondered what did he do? He only asked one question was there a need to make such a big deal out of it? Or maybe he was being softhearted now that he was old. If he was young and someone speculated about his relationship with his wife, he'd also react like that. No, he actually did. Back in the days, who didn't say that his wife didn't love him but was just using him to get back at her first love. Although those words hurt him, he didn't believe them. But just because he didn't believe them didn't mean others didn't either. So, he had to use practical actions to let everyone know that they couldn't talk about his wife however they wanted.

Now, seeing his son acting the same way, he was actually feeling very relaxed as if this was how it should be.
