"You an they aren't as depressed as our grandpa, eh?" asked Xiang Wai.
"Grandpa is depressed?" asked Xiang Weimin.
"Isn't he?" she retorted. "He misses his wife too much. He loves us so much that he keeps worrying about this and that. There are so many worries in his life. Suddenly, I think that we are the ones making him sad."
"Don't say that before him," said Mu Chenyan. "He won't like to hear that."
Xiang Wai waved off her hand nonchalantly. "Uncle Zhao, can I et your grandparents?"
"Why do you want to et them?" asked Mu Chenyan.
"Because I want to ask them so things," replied Xiang Wai naturally.
"Knock it off," was Mu Chenyan's response to her. "Don't listen to her," she said to Xia Zhao.
"Actually, this isn't really an unreasonable request," said Xia Zhao. "I'll introduce you to my grandparents as soon as I get the chance to do so."
"Really?" "I really can't understand your excitent right now," comnted Mu Chenyan.
Xiang Wai shrugged, "If only my great mind were so easy to understand."
"Should I applaud?"
Xiang Wai froze in place when she heard that voice.
"Or should I knock open that great mind to see just how great it is?"
Xiang Wai laughed awkwardly as she slowly turned her neck and ca face to face with Raelle. "Sister, what's up? What are you doing here? Why didn't you tell before coming?"
"When did I need to give a notice before showing up here?" asked Raelle as she walked in.
Mu Chenyan suddenly crouched down and started crawling away.
"Yanyan can stop," said Raelle. "Running is futile."
Mu Chenyan closed her eyes and took a deep breath before jumping up to stand. "Haha! Who is running? I dropped sothing. I was looking for that."
"Oh, did Wai's brain drop that you had to look for it?"
Xiang Weimin laughed at that and said, "Don't do that to her."
Xiang Wai puffed up her cheeks as she nodded, "Yes, don't do that to . Or I'll start crying."
"Okay, I won't do it," agreed Raelle way too early than Xiang Wai expected, so she was left a bit startled.
"Did my threat work?" asked Xiang Wai. "Hey! You don't like seeing people cry?"
"Who likes seeing people cry?" asked Raelle in return.
Xiang Wai got stuck with that question and while she was busy thinking about it, Raelle walked to Mu Chenyan.
"You are giving more surprises now than the past two decades."
Mu Chenyan bit the inside of her lip before saying, "I got a little too hyper there."
"You're always hyper though," Raelle stated a fact. "Yes, you had been putting on the act of a calm person for but we both know that was just that; an act. You never really let go of your temper. But to take out your temper on soone like this... I did not think it was possible."
"Was I supposed to stay silent? I hate that white lotus."
"Hate is a strong word," said Raelle. "That's what you taught ."
"Yes, it is. And since I'm using it, you can understand the intensity of my emotions," said Mu Chenyan. "She called my boyfriend as her fiance. What was I supposed to do? Watch it? I couldn't do it."
"Did you break a bone of hers?" asked Raelle.
"No, they held back," Mu Chenyan looked accusingly at Xia Zhao and Shui Xian. "That must be the most regretful thing of today, no?"
"Of course!" "What happened?" asked Xiang Weimin curiously. "Aunt, did you get into a fight with soone?"
"It can't be considered a fight since I couldn't even deliver a single punch."
Xiang Weimin gave her a look, "I guess that's why your emotions are still not in place."
"Huh?"
"If you had thrown even a single punch, you'd have let off so heat. Since the heat is still stuck within you, it's burning you inside. Not healthy. You should go and let off so heat."
Raelle actually agreed with Xiang Weimin as she nodded, "You should do that."
"You should try ditation," Shui Xian suggested.
Everyone gave him a look.
"Husband, do you really think Yanyan can control her impatience to sit down in silence and ditate?"
Shui Xian thought about it before shaking his head, "No, that doesn't sound like sothing she is capable of doing."
"Exactly!"
"Then how about swimming?" he added.
"That would be good if only she liked swimming."
"Then how about..."
Mu Chenyan stopped Shui Xian from continuing and picked up her phone to call, "Bring everyone to the gym. Let's have a competition."
Seeing her leave, Xiang Wai asked, "Where is she going?"
Even Xia Zhao looked at Raelle along with everyone.
"She just called all the bodyguards. Poor them! It's another beating just because she is not feeling good."
"Isn't that bullying?" asked Xiang Wai.
"Yes, but she does it very reasonably too. After all, as the boss she needs to make sure all the bodyguards are working hard and are not fishing everyday. So, she calls them over for sparring whenever she feels like it. This way, she gets to have fun and the others get to learn sothing along with getting a beating from her."
"This..." Xiang Wai didn't know what to say. It didn't sound all that wrong if Raelle put it like this.
Xia Zhao gave them all a nod and went to see Mu Chenyan. "Now, who is gonna explain what really happened today?" asked Xiang Weimin as he looked at Raelle and Shui Xian.
Raelle looked at Shui Xian and said, "You do it. After all, you were at the scene and you got to witness it with your own eyes."
Shui Xian nodded, "I did get to witness everything and it was quite shocking too. I never thought I'd get to experience sothing like that."
"What happened?" Xiang Wai's appetite was whetted and she was eager to know what happened.
