Chapter 790 Surprise Visit

Chapter 790 Surprise Visit

??Since the time Zhai Kuijun knew that Raelle had a miscarriage, he had been meaning to go to see her. But technically, he wasn't that close to Raelle as well. So, he decided to pay Xiang Hulin a visit. Knowing that his friend was at the Xiang Manor, his resolve to go there only grew stronger. After all, he had been meaning to pay Xiang Tianyu a visit for a while.

??But things kept coming up and he had been delayed for so long.

??So, today, he decided to skip work and pay the Xiang family a visit. He couldn't keep delaying it any longer. 

??"What did you say? You're going to visit Tianyu?" asked Grandfather Zhai to his son.

??"Yes," answered Zhai Kuijun. "I haven't seen Uncle Yu in a long while. I'll pay him a visit. Also, I heard Hulin is also at Xiang Manor, so I'll see him along the way."

??Grandfather Zhai was actually surprised to hear that Xiang Hulin was at the Xiang Manor. "Sigh. It seems my friend has come back to his senses. Or maybe he is just getting old now."

??"You're the same though," reminded Zhai Kuijun. "If he is old, you can't be young."

??"You! Is this a way to talk to your father?" asked Grandfather Zhai in a stern tone but Zhai Kuijun clearly looked like the rebellious son who didn't care about his father's rage. It almost reminded Grandfather Zhai of how his son used to be. He shook his head and said, "Your father might be old but he is still young at heart. Unlike you! What's the point of being young? Your heart is dead."

??Zhai Kuijun snickered, "Are you really throwing shade at your son?"

??"Can't I?" retorted Grandfather Zhai.

??"As a respected Professor, this doesn't suit you," said Zhai Kuijun.

??Before Grandfather Zhai could say anything, Grandmother Zhai spoke up, "Enough. Why are you both acting like kids? Stop it! Kuijun, if you're visiting Brother Tian, that's good. Send our regards. But don't forget to meet Koshing on the way. He lives right next door. It won't look good if you don't go to see him."

??"That's what I planned to do," said Zhai Kuijun. He originally planned on seeing Shui Koshing anyway. After all, Raelle was the daughter of the Xiang family but she was also the daughter-in-law of the Shui family. 

??"Then leave before your in-laws come down," said Grandma Zhai in a soft voice. "Seeing you will put them in a bad mood again. Let's take their health into consideration."

??"Sure," said Zhai Kuijun and left the house.

??"Why did he suddenly think of visiting the Xiang family? And that too on a work day? Did something happen?" asked Grandma Zhai.

??"I didn't hear anything," replied Grandpa Zhai.

??Grandma Zhai gave him a look of annoyance, "How will you hear anything? You're always reading papers published by your students."

??Grandpa Zhai cleared his throat and chose to stay quiet. Of course, he never had been in touch with the gossip, how would he know what was going on in society? Especially, those upper echelons. 

??On the other hand, Zhai Kuijun came to the Xiang Manor and registered himself at the security gate before entering the iron gates. His driver parked the car and before he could alight, he caught sight of Mu Chenyan standing beside a man and discussing something.

??"So, you're saying Anna left early in the morning to see Raelle and hasn't come back yet?" Mu Chenyan was questioning the man.

??"Yes, Mistress," replied the man respectfully. "Missy called Team Leader to come and see her."

??Mu Chenyan nodded her head in understanding and waved him off, "Okay. You can go back then." Then she turned to enter the house while tutting to herself. "Aiyo, my Elle is really fast. I knew you won't let it go." She already knew what Raelle must be up to and she didn't plan on interceding anyway. 

??Neither could she do it. If it was Raelle's orders, everyone had to listen to her. Even Mu Chenyan would have to listen to her. 

??Zhai Kuijun looked at her back and followed her. She was lost in her own thoughts and didn't even notice his presence at all. And that's why she closed the door and went in while he was left standing outside. 

??"Do I have such a weak presence?" he questioned himself. He never thought his presence was so weak that someone could ignore him so blatantly. But clearly, Mu Chenyan was not just 'someone' she could definitely ignore his whole existence if she wanted to do so.

??He rang the doorbell and waited. Surprisingly, the door was opened by Xiang Wai.

??"Uncle!" she called out in surprise. "You? Here?"

??"Why? I'm not welcomed here?" he asked jokingly.

??Xiang Wai shook her head, "No, no. That's not what I meant. Please, come inside."

??"Thank you," said Zhai Kuijun and stepped inside. This was his first time coming to visit the Xiang family here so he wasn't familiar with the place. That's why he continued to follow Xiang Wai as he chatted with her, "How is Weimin? Is he recovering well?"

??"Yes, Ge is doing better now," said Xiang Wai. "He can walk now. But he is eager to get back to work. But Papa won't allow it. And neither with Grandpa."

??"That boy is always eager to get to work," commented Zhai Kuijun helplessly. "Doesn't even like to  think about his health."

??"Yeah, that's how he is," smiled Xiang Wai and agreed.

??Zhai Kuijun gave her a look, "He is not alone though. All of you Xiang family's soldiers have the same temperaments and habits when it comes to your job."

??Xiang Wai rubbed the tip of her nose awkwardly since she couldn't argue with him or refute his words.

??"Uncle, you're here to see Papa?" asked Xiang Wai.

??"I'll see him too," replied Zhai Kuijun. "But mostly, I'm here to meet Uncle Yu."

??"Grandpa?" asked Xiang Wai.

??"Yes," answered Zhai Kuijun.

??"Grandpa and Papa are playing chess together," told Xiang Wai. "I'll call them for you." She directed him to the living room, "Why don't you sit here and wait?"
