Chapter 892: Scary
Chapter 892: Scary
Xiang Wai almost choked on her saliva when she heard Raelle’s comment and coughed lightly. She did not think Raelle would know about her affairs, even her brother didn’t know and that’s why he was giving her that inquisitive look right now. What was she supposed to do in this situation?
She didn’t tell anyone about what was going on between her and Zhai Yanjun. Not even her brother. When she came back from the blind date with a huge grin plastered on her face, everyone assumed things went well and when someone even asked, ‘How was the blind date?’ she only replied with, ‘It was good.’
So, everyone was still thinking that she was satisfied with her blind date. But Xiang Wai didn’t have to think deeply to figure out that Hyson was behind it. How could he not tell Raelle? He was the one who arranged the blind date, so he must be clear about the result of the blind date as well. And he won’t keep a secret from Raelle.
Noticing how her brother was looking at him, she smiled awkwardly, “What’s up, Ge?”
Xiang Weimin didn’t say anything and chose not to interrogate her. She was old enough to take care of her own matters. He didn’t have to care about her matters. Besides, if she wanted to, she’d share everything with him.
“How about I treat you to desserts?” offered Xiang Weimin as his eyes were set on Raelle. Clearly, that offer was for her.
Raelle thought about it before nodding, “Okay.”
“Ge, she is the richest one between us,” Xiang Wai reminded him.
“And she is the youngest between us as well,” said Xiang Weimin.
Xiang Wai pursed her lips before she said, “No, he is the youngest one here.” She was pointing at little Justin as she spoke.
Xiang Weimin pinched her arm, “Stop it.”
“Oh…”
The three siblings were looking for a place to sit down when Raelle took them around. Standing in front of the office of the Deputy Director of the hospital, Xiang Wai, “Why are we here?”
“The view is good from here,” was Raelle’s unexpected answer. She knocked on the door and pushed it open.
The person sitting behind the desk buried in papers before her looked up and when her eyes met Raelle’s, the serious expression flew away and she called out happily, “Oh, cousin! What brought you here?”
“The good view,” said Raelle again.
Gou Jinjin wasn’t even surprised. She already heard it from Raelle that the view from her office was beautiful. And since Raelle liked beautiful things, she wasn’t surprised that Raelle was here for the view. She actually felt it was the right decision to choose this office for herself. She could use it to lure her cousin in here.
“Then come inside,” said Gou Jinjin.
“I’m not alone,” added Raelle.
“Just bring whoever you want,” said Gou Jinjin. She also stood up when the others followed Raelle in. Looking at little Justin, Gou Jinjin squatted down to his level and asked, “Yo, little buddy! You didn’t pluck any more flowers, did you?”
“No,” Justin replied in an unusually soft voice.
“Don’t scare him,” said Raelle.
“Am I scary?” asked Gou Jinjin. And Raelle and Justin actually nodded at the same time making Gou Jinjin not understand how to even react to this sudden attack.
Gou Jinjin patted her chest and reminded herself that it wasn’t even the first time. She should be used to it. But it still was not understandable to her. From a young age, people said she was the scary one while her twin sister was the cuter one. Even though they were identical twins who literally looked like each other’s reflections.
She sighed to herself and looked up to notice two new faces. She narrowed her eyes at them before clicking her fingers together, “It’s Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai.” She extended her hand towards them, “I’ve heard so much about you both. It’s very nice to meet you.”
Both Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai were confused from the moment she called Raelle ‘cousin’. And now, she even knew them. They did not think their Xiang family had any relatives. So, they were really confused right now.
“That’s Gou Jinjin,” introduced Raelle. “She is Yanyan’s niece. Long story short, she is our cousin.”
Gou Jinjin’s smile widened as she nodded in agreement, “That’s right.”
Raelle and Justin went to the sitting area in the big office. It was in the far right corner of the office and was separated by a bookshelf. It could be seen that it was Gou Jinjin’s resting area and her comfort place where she spent most of her time.
Seeing the blanket on the carpet, Gou Jinjin rushed up to pick it up and folded it before throwing it into the cabinet. She moved at the speed of light but everyone could see what she did.
“You don’t go home?” asked Raelle.
Gou Jinjin rubbed her nose, “Not all that much.”
“Any particular reason?”
“I told you my sister is getting married,” said Gou Jinjin.
“And that’s why you’re under everyone’s eyes because you’re single,” added Raelle.
“Smart. Cousin, how did you develop that brain? I love how smart you are,” said Gou Jinjin. “I don’t even have to say much for you to understand. This talent of yours is impeccable.” Scratching her neck, she went on, “Anyway, you can use this space. I’m going out. Feel free here and make yourself at home.”
“We are gonna eat some desserts here,” told Raelle. “You don’t mind us eating here, do you?”
“What are you talking about?” Gou Jinjin waved off carelessly. “I said, just be at home. No need to even ask. The whole hospital is yours.” She looked at Xiang Wai and Xiang Weimin, “It’s nice to meet you both. I’d have loved to catch up with you two but I have to deal with a patient’s family. So, let’s get to know each other next time.”
