Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1026: Don’t Flatter

Raelle has just entered the house when she found Grandfather Xiang. It seemed he had seen the whole fiasco but that didn’t mean Raelle was worried. No matter what she did or how she dealt with the matters, Grandfather Xiang hardly had anything to say about it. But currently, the way he was looking at her made Raelle stop for a moment.         

    

“I’ll not apologize for being disrespectful to her,” she said.     

Grandfather Xiang chuckled at her response and beckoned her over. Raelle stepped closer and leaned her head down and then felt a warm and familiar touch on her head. “Am I that unreasonable? Some elders don’t deserve respect. Besides, you’re protecting your own family. I’m very happy to see this.”     

“Did you think I won’t protect my own family?”     

Grandfather Xiang shook his head, “No. I knew you would. Isn’t that why I didn’t bother going out?”     

Indeed, he had learned about Madam Yue’s arrival quite early but when he came here, he already could see Raelle. So, he didn’t think there was a need for him to go out. He could just stay there and watch the whole fiasco.      

“She wasted my time,” said Raelle. “I’d already be close to seeing my husband.”     

Grandfather Xiang laughed at that, “Yes, yes. It’s an unforgivable crime.”     

“Now, that I think about it, I think I left her off way too easily.”     

Grandfather Xiang’s lips twitched and he thought if Raelle really went all out, Madam Yue might get a heart attack. But by no means he thought that she let her off easily.     

“You should hurry up now.”     

Raelle nodded and seeing that Yue Yue didn’t follow her in, she called out, “Yue, I’m getting late.”     

Yue Yue followed her in and packed up the cream puffs in two boxes. One she gave to the driver to deliver to Zhai Yanjun while the other was given to Raelle who would take it to Shui Xian. Only then she felt relaxed and sat down with Grandfather Xiang.     

“It seems I don’t even have to protect our Yue anymore,” commented Grandfather Xiang.     

Yue Yue looked up at him as she offered him cream puff too before responding, ‘You said I can be confident and I can do whatever I want. Because you’ll always be standing behind me. So, I got a little bold.’     

“It’s good to be bold,” said Grandfather Xiang.     

“I agree,” came Shui Koshing’s voice.     

Looking at Shui Koshing, Grandfather Xiang was reminded of something, “You! Where is the guest list I asked you to give me?”     

Shui Koshing looked at Grandfather Xiang and smiled awkwardly, “I forgot, uncle.”     

“Is this your age to be so irresponsible?”     

“No, but this is definitely my age to be forgetful,” argued Shui Koshing.     

“Even I’m not that forgetful,” was Grandfather Xiang’s argument. “Even your father had a better memory than this.”     

Shui Koshing scratched his nose saying, “I think my father forgot to pass on his memory to me through his genes. It’s not my fault. And I can’t compare with you even more. I don’t dare.”     

“And what are you frowning about?” asked Grandfather Xiang to Zhai Kuijun.     

“Uncle, do you think Raelle would really do something to the Yue family?”     

“No,” replied Grandfather Xiang. “She’ll just cut off Yue Lan’s wings. You should never doubt what my granddaughter says. No, you should never doubt the words of anyone from our Xiang family. We had a habit of doing what we say.”         

    

“I have heard about that,” said Zhai Kuijun.      

“Why? Are you feeling bad for your in-laws?”     

“Not my in-laws anymore,” Zhai Kuijun hurriedly distanced himself from them. “And I’m not feeling bad at all. I’m just asking. After all, it’s not easy to shake the foundations of these old families.”     

Grandfather Xiang chuckled when he heard that, “Are you looking down on old families by adding a bunch like that in their ranks? Real old families aren’t this ostentatious. And if they had descendants like Yue Lan, they’d be long destroyed.”     

“Uncle is always right,” said Shui Koshing.     

“Koshing, stop flattering me. I already gave you the most precious baby in my family. I have nothing else to give now.”     

Shui Koshing grinned at that, “How can I ask for anything more? I was already shameless enough when I asked for Raelle’s hand in marriage for my useless son. He really doesn’t even deserve her. I can’t even tell you how grateful I was when you actually agreed and thought that my son was worthy of her.”     

“You should stop talking bad about my favorite grandson-in-law as well,” added Grandfather Xiang.     

Shui Koshing immediately lost his smile and nodded his head solemnly, “I won’t dare. I definitely won’t.”     

Zhai Kuijun had to suppress his laughter when he saw this but could almost not hold back himself from laughing at Shui Koshing’s face. But really didn’t dare laugh in front of Grandfather Xiang. Whether it was when they were young or now that they were old, their deep fear of Grandfather Xiang was still as it always was.     

They weren’t even this scared of their own fathers as they were of Elder Xiang.     

“But Uncle, I really have no one I want to invite,” said Shui Koshing after thinking for a while. “You can just ask Xian who he wants to invite.”     

Grandfather Xiang gave him a look of disdain, “You’ve lived in vain, Koshing. How could you not even have a single friend at this age?”     

Shui Koshing lowered his head because he couldn’t really argue with that. Oh, it was truly embarrassing that all his so-called friends were his business contacts.      𝑜𝗏𝐋𝐞xt.𝗇𝓔t

“Who is it? Who dared to yell at my Yue? Which bastard is it? They actually dared to come to our door to bully our family? Did they ask me first? Am I dead?!”     

All four of them heard that roar coming from the door and could already tell who it was.     

Shui Koshing looked at Yue Yue and said, “Chenyan is home.”     

Yue Yue felt a headache coming on. Of course, she could also recognize that voice which belonged to her own best friend!
