Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1127: Different From Others

“I thought we were gonna solve the mystery,” said Xiang Wai. She really thought they gathered to solve the mystery of Justin’s mother. But clearly, that wasn’t the case.          

    

“We are here to enlighten your brother,” replied Mu Chenyan.      

“Are you sure, aunt? Are you sure it’s not because you couldn’t find anything related to Justin’s birth mother?”     

Mu Chenyan looked away from her niece. She didn’t want to admit that that was the case! She was already mad enough at the moment that even after using all her connections, she couldn’t find information about a girl.      

Chi Xirui’s information from the school said that she was from a remote village. And in truth, it turned out that was somewhat true! When Mu Chenyan’s people went to that mountainous village to get information, some people did recognize the picture of Chi Xirui and that’s how they learned that Chi Xirui once came to that village just to look for her maternal grandparents.     

Because those maternal grandparents had once sold her mother to human traffickers. So, she wanted to come and find those people and see how life treated them. And she not only saw, she even smashed the house of her maternal grandparents where her mother’s brothers and their families lived.      

Even with the help of the whole village, they couldn’t stop her from smashing things and people because she also brought people with her. And she brought trained people. How could those villagers be her opponent?     

“This is the only new discovery I had in these days,” told Mu Chenyan. “And as you know, it’s difficult to find information from the time when her mother was actually sold. She was very young when she was sold and after that, where those human traffickers took her is difficult to find out. It’s like looking for a needle at the bottom of the ocean. So, since we can’t find where her mother was taken, we can’t find who Chi Xirui really was either. I have never seen a more complicated case than this.”     

“Why are you so obsessed with looking then?” asked Xiang Weimin. “Isn’t it enough what you know? Or is it necessary for you to find the bloodline of Justin’s mother?”     

“What nonsense are you talking about, boy?” asked Xiang Hulin angrily. “That’s not what Chenchen’s intention is. She is doing it for you. After all, you are an Air Force officer and that woman’s origin is completely a mystery. It can really affect your career.”     

“I don’t care,” replied Xiang Weimin. “At the moment, I think our family is more than happy to know that we have a new generation of the Xiang family. You all are looking forward to bringing Justin home and recognizing his ancestors or else you all won’t be looking at me with so much hostility tonight.” No one denied his words so he went on, “But you all are as smart as I am or even more than I am except for you, Wai. Lose the smile.”     

Xiang Wai’s upturned lips immediately turned down when she heard that. She was so happy for a moment that her brother included her in the ranks of the smart people in the family but broke her wishful thinking instantly. She could only sigh and accept the truth since she was really not a match for even a single person in this room.      

What a tragedy for her to be born into a family of geniuses.     

“Since you all are smart, you already know it won’t be easy to bring Justin home,” Xiang Weimin went on ignoring the mood of his sister. “His mother didn’t look for us. She gave her custody to someone else. Justin doesn’t know any of us. He is only 5. Is it alright to make him choose at this young age? Isn’t it unfair to him to make choices for her him when he isn’t capable of making his own choices?”     

No matter how they all wanted to bring Justin to the home, they couldn’t really force it either. Their family would never do such a thing to a child. They are people who even asked about Xiang Wai and Xiang Weimin’s choices when their parents got divorced. The only person who didn’t make a choice was actually Raelle who was still a newborn baby and couldn’t make her choices.     

Xiang Weimin knew that Justin liked him a lot and was actually unusually attached to him within a short time but it won’t change the fact that Tang Hebe raised him for years and had been with him through everything. Even with his differences, she didn’t try to change him but to accept him and understand him. He couldn’t deny the efforts and hard work of Tang Hebe. He couldn’t be cruel and go to snatch his son just because they were blood related.     

In their family, blood relations never took the top spot.     

“Then let’s take it slow,” said Song Xin’ai. “From my observation tonight, Justin likes you a lot and is very close to you. And this all happened within a very short time. It shows that you both as father and son has a connection. You actually don’t have to use this connection. You should go to Tang Hebe and have a talk with her. Tell her everything truthfully and come to a middle ground.”     

“Yes,” agreed Grandfather Xiang with Song Xin’ai’s words. “We don’t have to snatch the child from Tang Hebe. Although she has made some impulsive choices in her life, she isn’t a bad child either. She isn’t unreasonable either. She’d be scared that you want to snatch Justin from her. After all, Raelle said Justin is her life. Her only hope to be sane right now.”     

“Then how about we ask her opinion?” suggested Mu Chenyan. “We can tell her that we just want Justin to recognize his relatives. We don’t actually have to take him from her. We just want him to have a father and not feel like he is different from others.”
