It wasn't Hyson's fault that he was questioning Zhai Yanjun's intelligence. Even Raelle and Shui Xian had the same thought about him. This idiot didn't even realize until now that his biggest card to play was his dearest aunt Yue Yue? If he wasn't a fool, what was he then?
After all, neither Hyson nor Raelle would go against Yue's words. In fact, even Mu Chenyan was used to doting on her best friend. She'd more often than not give in to Yue Yue's wishes. Just like Raelle had no way to have her way with Hyson, Mu Chenyan also didn't have much she could do to Yue Yue.
But now that Zhai Yanjun remembered his support, he ran to hug Yue and said, "Ayi, I'm being bullied."
Mu Chenyan's lips twitched when she saw him acting like that, "What are you trying to do by acting like our family's Fai?"
Zhai Yanjun looked at her innocently, "I'm making sure my Ayi doesn't miss her son when I'm around."
"She hardly even remembers her son when you're around," came Hyson's voice from the phone. "I'm so mad. I'm hanging up!"
And with that, he really hung up. But everyone in there knew he wasn't mad. He was just frustrated by Zhai Yanjun's antics that seemed to always work with Yue Yue.
"You, stop teasing my Fai," said Mu Chenyan.
Zhai Yanjun hugged Yue Yue even tighter who glared at Mu Chenyan, 'And you should stop shielding my son and spoiling him so much.'
"I'll continue to spoil people, what does that have to do with you? I have the ability to do so! Why shouldn't I?"
Shui Xian suddenly clapped and gave Mu Chenyan a thumb up, "Yanyan is the boss around here!"
Xiang Weimin had been listening to them in silence all this while and Xiang Wai was busy texting her colleagues. But even then, she was fully focused on the happenings around her. She was rather surprised by how the place seemed to have lit up from that one phone call. She had already heard about this Yue Fai from her brother but hadn't been all that curious about him.
But now she was really curious to know what kind of a person he was and how he managed to charm every single person in this room? That little sly smile on Zhai Yanjun's face wasn't hidden from her either. She was so taken aback by this version of Zhai Yanjun. He seemed playful and happy. And the way he hugged Yue Yue showed his dependence and love for her.
Xiang Wai wasn't unfamiliar with Zhai Yanjun at all. She knew him all too well. And she certainly knew that he was an insecure person. He always yearned for love but he was equally scared of it as well. All because of his parents. And that's why she actually never could hate him for not loving her. He never had this happiness when he was with her and perhaps, she never did as well.
At the end of the day, she wasn't a normal person either. She was also emotionally damaged like him. So, she obviously couldn't bring him out of his gloomy world when she was also living in such a world. But the brightness and love in this family were different. It was something very new and refreshing to her. It was something that made her feel hopeful inside. It made her feel happy without her even realizing it.
She was reminded of what Zhai Yanjun said at the door, she looked happy. How strange that even she didn't realize how happy she was just being here surrounded by all these people.
On her side, Xiang Weimin had his own thoughts. He was suddenly really regretting not being a part of this family. But he couldn't blame anyone either. The blame lay with himself. Back then on more than one occasion his grandfather and Mu Chenyan had tried to reach out to him and Xiang Wai but they both stubbornly refused to follow them.
But their young age and the people's comments really made them resistant to allow their grandfather an entry into their lives. However, even if Xiang Wai had not noticed in all these years, Xiang Weimin had noticed some small details in his life.
For instance, he always knew someone was helping him behind the scene. It wasn't obvious but very subtle. However, he could tell that the respect and attention he received right after joining the army wasn't because of his father's high status. At first, he might have thought that way but later on, he was certain that was not the case.
As for Xiang Wai, since her personality was like Mu Chenyan, she was also fond of creating trouble from a young age. And she had created a lot of trouble. A lot of trouble which offended a lot of people as well. However, she always stayed unscathed. Xiang Weimin knew that Xiang Wai's ability to create trouble was the same as Mu Chenyan but her ability to solve that trouble wasn't at Mu Chenyan's level.
And yet Xiang Wai was able to continue being the same old self. Even when she joined the military academy she had gotten into a fight that could have gotten her kicked out of the academy instantly but she remained there much to everyone's surprise.
Seeing how Xiang Wai was looking at everything while pondering something deeply, Xiang Weimin patted her head and said, "Stop thinking so much now."
Xiang Wai looked back at him and gave him a smile, "Ge, do you know what Papa said?"
"What?"
"He said, 'Congratulation! You're finally home.'"
Xiang Weimin was slightly taken aback when he heard that.
Xiang Wai's smile widened as she added, "I finally know why he said that. We are really home, Ge."
Xiang Weimin took a deep breath to calm down his emotions and nodded in agreement, "Yes, we are." And then he continued to listen to the banter between Zhai Yanjun and Shui Xian.. He had to say this feeling of being home was certainly very good.
