Chapter 855 Special Painting?

??"I don't think I've seen anyone who has taken you or your words as a joke survive," stated Shui Koshing.

??Mu Chenyan felt like slamming Shui Koshing's head. How dare he say that in front of everyone? So what if she threatened him? No, she didn't threaten him at all! That was just polite talk between in-laws. Yes! That's what it was. As long as she insisted it was, then it was! No one could say otherwise.

??"Ge!" she called out. "Someone is slandering your sister!"

??It was only then that Shui Koshing actually noticed that Xiang Hulin had been sitting there eating in silence all this while. He suddenly gulped. Oh oh! Who didn't know it was a sin to say a bad word about Mu Chenyan in front of Xiang Hulin? This brother was completely unreasonable when it came to his sister whom he doted on the most. 

??All this while Xiang Hulin had restrained his aura to the point that others could easily forget his presence but once he was called out by his sister, his strong aura burst out.

??"Mr. Shui is my daughter's father-in-law," spoke Xiang Hulin. "So, I'll let this go. But only this time. Next time, it'd be better if you refrain from making my sister angry. I only have one sister and I have never liked it when people wrong her."

??Shui Koshing's lips twitched. There was someone who could wrong Mu Chenyan? But he didn't say it. He had only heard of the unreasonable brother of Mu Chenyan, today he saw it. So what if it had been years since these siblings got together? Mu Chenyan was still the sister who dared to complain and Xiang Hulin was still the brother who stood before her to fight everyone for her.

??Mu Chenyan was very happy with only this. It wasn't like she really wanted her brother to do something to Shui Koshing. After all, as Xiang Hulin said, Shui Koshing was Raelle's father-in-law. But she was still very happy that her brother stood up for her like he always did in the past. This sweet feeling that she hadn't tasted in years was too addictive.

??It was true that she could fight her own battles? But who didn't like having someone stand up for them? She was also that person who sometimes liked to hide behind her brother and seek his protection. 

??Shui Koshing cleared his throat, "Where is Uncle Yu?" 

??"Opa isn't feeling too well this morning," answered Hyson to him. "So, he had breakfast in his room and must be resting now."

??"Oh, then you send my regards to him," said Shui Koshing. "I might not be able to see him."

??"Aren't you coming for dinner?"

??"I have been eating at the office for the past couple of days," replied Shui Koshing. "By the time I come back, Uncle would be asleep."

??After breakfast, Xiang Hulin walked up to Mu Chenyan and placed his hand on her head, "I'm leaving now. Don't always jump around. I'll be back soon."

??Mu Chenyan pouted but still nodded her head, "Then I'll wait for you. Come back soon."

??Xiang Hulin had a gentle light in his eyes as he nodded his head before leaving. With him taking the lead, others also started leaving to their own works.

??"Major!" Hyson called out to Xiang Wai after breakfast. "I sent you the time and location of your blind date. Don't be late. And don't even think about any excuses. Anyway, your bad excuses won't work on me." Xiang Wai bared her teeth at him while he smiled innocently, looking as harmless as ever. As if she'd fall for that harmless pretense of him again. Hmph!

??While instructing the kitchen staff regarding the lunch, Mu Chenyan once again turned to Yue Yue, "You really don't want to go with me to the exhibition?"

??Yue Yue looked at her and said, 'Have fun!'

??"Heartless!" said Mu Chenyan and left. She arranged everything at home and rechecked everything before she started getting dressed around noon. After dressing up, she left. 

??She drove the car to the location which was actually about two hours drive from the home. Her destination was named Sunset Plaza because they said it was the most beautiful place to watch the sunset in the whole city. And those weren't just rumors. 

??Because it was a popular place, it wasn't easy to hold an exhibition in the Plaza. A person had to have some prestige to have their artworks displayed in the gallery of Sunset Plaza. When Mu Chenyan arrived there, she could see that the artist definitely had some fame because even if it was the last day of the exhibition, plenty of people could be found there.

??Mu Chenyan didn't look at the other paintings clearly, she went straight in search of that one painting that she saw in the pictures yesterday. And it didn't take long to find it either. Once she found it, Mu Chenyan stood before the painting and looked at it clearly.

??She had to say that the pictures didn't do justice to the painting before her. There was something about it that made her stand in front of the painting in a daze. Maybe it was the moment captured in that painting. But to be honest, until today she never thought there was anything special about that moment. And that's what made her wonder if that moment wasn't really special, what made this painting special?

??The moment captured in the painting was when she was sixteen. Standing under the eaves of the wooden house in the mountains, she was looking at the trees changing colors in the season of autumn. She had to say, the autumn looked extra beautiful in that place just like that person had said.

??And it was because of that claim that she was there to see the beautiful autumn there with him. Hearing someone calling her, she looked back, it was precisely this moment that was captured in that painting. Showing only her back and her half-turned face with the background of the beautiful colors of the beautiful autumn.
