Chapter 1231: File A Complaint
'What am I supposed to learn?' asked Yue Yue.
"How to ask for benefits from your brother?" the answer came from Xiang Hulin instead. "Don't you think you need to learn that from Chenchen?"
"Exactly!" agreed Grandfather Xiang. He smiled at her and added, "Don't be so reserved around him. As the elder brother, it's his responsibility to give in to your wishes and pamper you."
Yue Yue was actually a bit lost when she heard that.
"Father is right. You really need to start voicing out your wishes. Brother is here to give you whatever you want. As long as it's within my abilities."
"It's what he should do," accentuated Grandfather Xiang. "If he can't even spoil his own sister, what kind of a brother is he?"
Yue Yue smiled at them, 'I never had an elder brother. So, I really didn't know all this.'
"Then watch Chenchen and learn," said Xiang Hulin.
Yue Yue pointed at Mu Chenyan who was grinning while looking at the black card in her hands without caring about what was going on around her. 'Are you sure she is a good teacher to learn from?'
"That's a very good question," said Xiang Hulin. He touched her head saying, "Forget it. Don't learn. Just do what you want. But don't forget that you have a brother too. Okay?"
'I won't forget,' she replied. She really couldn't forget. She had never had such a complete family before. How could anyone be willing to forget even one person from this family?
"Chenyan, are you that happy?" asked Grandfather Xiang. "I don't think you lack that black card."
Mu Chenyan looked up and said, "I just heard from Wai and tested her theory. It really feels good just holding my Ge's card. I wonder how good it'll feel after spending this money."
"This family has gone crazy," concluded Grandfather Xiang.
"Elder Xiang, the family was already crazy. It's just that we lived separately so it didn't feel that obvious. Now, that we are all under the same roof, the family doesn't seem crazy but crazier!" said Mu Chenyan. "But at the end of the day, it's still our family. Isn't it?" historical
Grandfather Xiang nodded in response and said, "See if they made the meat buns that Justin likes for breakfast. Forget it. I'll go myself."
Seeing him leaving like this, Mu Chenyan sighed, "I heard once that if the family adds new blood, the older blood becomes more active and energetic. I didn't believe it but seeing Elder Xiang, I have to say that was true. From the time he knows that there is the addition of a small kid in our family, he has become more and more active."
'Isn't that good? He always looks forward to a new day these days unlike before when every day was ordinary.'
Xiang Hulin agreed with Yue Yue, "Little sister is right. It's good for Father to have this new mental outlook."
"Ge, I'm the little sister. Yue is older than me."
"Yeah. I can't bring myself to call her older when I look at you two standing side by side."
Mu Chenyan felt depressed just hearing that.
"Why? Don't you like being the older one? You always tell people that Yue is the younger one. Isn't that right?"
"But that's different. How can I accept that I am no longer the little sister of my Ge?"
Yue Yue facepalmed, 'With your level of possessiveness when it comes to brother Lin, I wonder how you even let him get married back then?'
"Hey! Why would I come in between his marriage? Am I a fool? I'm possessive about my Ge but I know my boundaries very well. You go and ask my ex-sister-in-law. I was such a good sister-in-law to her. I never fought or argued with her. I never made her feel like she had less right on my Ge than me. After all, if he is my brother it won't change the fact that he is also her husband. She had more rights than me. Of course, it felt a bit unsettling when he suddenly had another woman around him whom he loved but I am also a very understanding sister. I'd never do anything to ruin my brother's relationship. Isn't that right, Ge?"
Xiang Hulin had been silently listening and only spoke when he was prompted, "Yes, yes. Our Chenchen was an exemplary sister-in-law in the compound. Who didn't say that Chenchen was the best sister-in-law? She didn't just give us space. She also helped me in court. A very good partner in crime she had been."
"You didn't have to say the last sentence," said Mu Chenyan.
"I say, in-laws, you only added one kid to the family. Why are you all acting like a kid now?"
The three of them looked at Shui Koshing who appeared with a strange smile on his face.
"Do you know what scene your Weimin and Wai just made outside? They were running out, chasing each other like kids. Tsk, tsk. My daughter felt so embarrassed."
'Amiah isn't here.'
"I'm talking about Raelle!"
'Oh,' was the only reaction Yue Yue gave.
"Anyway, I just wanted to tell you to keep an eye on kids in your family. If they want to do whatever they want, that's up to them. But think about it. What does it look like for a man in his thirties and a woman reaching her thirties running around like this? Does it look good? Even I almost refused to acknowledge that they are from my family. Do you know how embarrassed I was when those old friends in the park talked to me about them?"
Xiang Hulin pursed his lips and then said, "Koshing, I don't know about Weimin and Wai. But what about you? Why are you acting like a parent coming to file a complaint?"
