Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1018: Go Bald

What kind of a person her grandfather was, how could Raelle not know? She was even more familiar with his thoughts. So, it wasn’t surprising to hear his thoughts regarding Song Xin’ai. No matter what kind of a person she was or what she had done, it was an undeniable fact that she gave birth to three children for the Xiang family.          

    

As her grandfather said, it was actually a big deal considering the low population of the Xiang family for generations.      

Raelle knew that her grandfather didn’t exactly hate Song Xin’ai or Xiang Hulin for all these years. It was just his anger and disappointment.      

“You can invite whoever you want,” said Grandfather Xiang to her. “It’s your engagement party. The guests should be of your choice. What kind of a relationship we have with those people or whatever animosity we have with those people shouldn’t be your concern. I’ll still say the same thing to you, Yenay. You can always do whatever you want. What we think about your choices shouldn’t be your concern.”     

“I get it,” she replied.     

Raelle picked up the book she had been reading when someone came to see her. “Missy!”     

Raelle looked up at Anna, “Hi! Haven’t seen you in the last couple of days.”     

Anna smiled at her, “I’m flattered to know that you missed me, Missy.”     

“Mhmm…” Raelle looked down at the book in her hand as she asked, “So, any progress?”     

“Not much but there is something,” said Anna as she put a file in front of Raelle. “I couldn’t find much from the university except for the fact that she was a very friendly and exceptional person. Very kind and helpful. No matter who you ask, you’ll only hear good things about her. It seems people love to praise her.”     

“Can’t relate to that,” commented Raelle making Anna chuckle.     

“You’d be surprised, Missy.”     

Raelle looked up at her again, “You’re saying people praise me? I think they have a lot of problems with me.”     𝚘𝓥𝐥xt.𝔠𝔬𝓂

“Maybe. But they can’t always deny the truths so they do end up praising you as well.”     

“If you say so,” said Raelle. “What else then? Any photos or personal information?”     

“According to the personal information, she comes from a small countryside but I don’t believe that. It’s difficult to know the authenticity of that information because the name of the village doesn’t even show up on maps, that’s how unknown that place is. Most people don’t even register the residents there.” Anna looked very confused as she went on, “But I also couldn’t find any photos of her in the university database.”     

“Not even one?”     

“There is a photo from a festival where everyone was wearing costumes and because of the makeup, it’s difficult to recognize her,” said Anna. She took the group photo from the file and showed it to Raelle who also agreed that it was difficult to recognize the person. If it wasn’t for the nametag she wore, she wouldn’t even know that this girl was Chi Xirui.     

“So, it’s a dead end again?”     

Anna nodded her head but then pulled another paper to show Raelle saying, “University was a complete dead end but the disaster area wasn’t all that better either. Look at this information, over six years ago, there was a flood in the region of Kanlan and she joined the volunteer group. She stayed there for three months and I managed to find a photo of her from there.”     

Raelle looked at the volunteer group photo and looked at the girl named Chi Xirui. Even this face didn’t ring a bell. This face wasn’t available in the memory disk of her brain. She was certain she didn’t know this person and had never even seen this face.     

“This isn’t helpful either,” said Raelle. “It doesn’t even give a clue about how she is associated with me.”     

“Sadly, it doesn’t,” replied Anna.      

“Fine, go and rest well. You must be tired after all this,” said Raelle. “I’ll see what to do.”     

Once Anna was gone, Grandfather Xiang gave his granddaughter a look, “What are you up to?”     

Raelle looked back at him, “You can say, I’m too bored, Opa. So, I’m just trying to find something to keep me busy.”         

    

“Who are you looking for?”     

“Her name is Chi Xirui,” answered Raelle.     

“How do you know her?”     

“That’s the thing. I don’t know her,” was Raelle’s response.     

“Then what exactly is going on?”     

“That’s what I’m trying to figure out here,” she replied. “I’ll let you know once everything becomes clear to me. For now, things are very complicated since it’s like this girl doesn’t exist. I can hardly find her background. She is shrouded in mystery.”     

“Okay, then good luck on your search,” said Grandfather Xiang. “But if it’s tough, you can ask for help anytime. Don’t do it alone all the time.”     

Raelle nodded her head in agreement, “Right. I can’t find it anyway. So, I should ask for help from someone who really can find something for me.” She took a pause as she glanced at him, “Who do you think is the best person to look for in this situation?”     

“Go and ask Chenyan,” said Grandfather Xiang. “She’d be more than happy to help. Besides, she has an extensive network, she’d be able to find out something.”     

Raelle again nodded her head, “Indeed. Who else can I look for if not my Yanyan.”     

With this thought, she closed the book and picked up the file that Anna left behind. She stood up to look for Mu Chenyan but then stopped, “Is Yanyan home?”     

Even Grandfather Xiang was stumped by that question since lately Mu Chenyan was all over the place trying to organize the engagement party so it wasn’t surprising that even he wasn’t sure if she was home right now or not.     

“Umm… I don’t know.”     

“It’s becoming a luxury to see her these days,” commented Raelle. “I told her not to do everything on her own.”     

“How will she feel at ease if she doesn’t do everything on her own?” asked Grandfather Xiang. “I heard she almost made the event planner go bald with her ideas.” He seemed to be holding back a laughter when he said that.     

Raelle wasn’t even surprised. What else would you expect from Mu Chenyan?
