Chapter 1047 [Bonus chapter] I'm Old Now
"Hi, little Justin," greeted Mu Chenyan. "You're very handsome, Justin. Do you know that?"
Justin smiled slightly at that and nodded, "Pretty sister said that too."
"Oh?" Mu Chenyan raised her brows when she saw his little smile. "And who is this pretty sister?"
"He is talking about Raelle," replied Xiang Wai.
"I didn't ask you," said Mu Chenyan. "I asked you to go and find out about lunch arrangements. I'm hungry. And we have a special little guest as well. How can we mistreat him?" Then she looked at Justin and asked, "What do you like to eat Justin?"
"I don't like green beans but apart from that, I like everything," answered Justin clearly. He usually didn't talk this much. But feeling Mu Chenyan's genuine kindness, he felt comfortable enough to talk about it with her. He could see her gentleness radiating from her eyes.
"Oh, we have another one who doesn't like green beans," said Mu Chenyan with a smile. "So, Justin can I pinch your chubby cheeks? Truthfully, I wanna take a bite but we are not that familiar yet so, I'll just make do with pinching these cheeks."
While Justin turned red, Xiang Wai couldn't help saying, "Aunt, you're playing hooligan again! How can you even tease a little kid? Shame on you!"
"You're still here?"
"I was just going," saying that she really ran away this time.
Mu Chenyan chuckled at Justin's reaction before she tapped his small nose saying, "It's okay. I was really teasing you. You're so adorable."
"Chenyan, did you see my reading glasses?"
"It's in your side table's first drawer," answered Mu Chenyan to Grandfather Xiang.
"It's not there," replied Grandfather Xiang.
"It is there," she said again.
"I'm telling you it's not there. I looked through it."
"And I'm saying that it's there. I placed it there myself," was Mu Chenyan's response.
"You think I'm lying?" asked Grandfather Xiang as his wheelchair finally wheeled into the living room.
"And you think I'm lying?" responded Mu Chenyan as she turned her head to look at him.
"I'm not saying that. But I'm just saying you could have remembered it wrongly," said Grandfather Xiang seriously.
Mu Chenyan stood up and said, "I'm gonna go and find it myself. And if I found it there, Elder Xiang, you better watch it." She stood up to leave but stopped to say, "Go and accompany that little friend of Elle. Don't slight him."
Grandfather Xiang looked over at Raelle's little friend and his eyes widened when he saw Justin. He was stunned for a moment before he Grandfather Xiang's smile deepened when he heard that milky sweet 23:48
voice. "How did you meet my granddaughter?" asked Grandfather wheeled over to his side.
With an expression that he thought seemed gentle and kind, Grandfather Xiang greeted Justin, "Hi, I'm Raelle's grandfather."
Justin blinked at him before he nodded, "I'm Justin."
Grandfather Xiang's smile deepened when he heard that milky sweet voice. "How did you meet my granddaughter?" asked Grandfather Xiang. He was still processing the fact that this little human was actually Raelle's friend. What a surprise!
Justin braced himself and slowly but concisely reiterated the story of his meeting with Raelle and how much he liked her and how awesome she was etc etc. And of course, this much was enough to make Grandfather Xiang happy. Anyone who liked his Raelle was dear to him too.
Even before Mu Chenyan appeared, her voice came, "Elder Xiang, look! I found your reading glasses right there!" Soon, she appeared herself looking livid as she presented the glasses to him. "What is it? Huh? Didn't I say it was right there?"
Grandfather Xiang coughed, "It wasn't there when I looked for it."
"Then how come it was there when I looked for it?"
"Who knows?" replied Grandfather Xiang. "Maybe you found it somewhere else and are now saying it was right there."
"You!" Mu Chenyan gaped at him in disbelief and sighed. "How can you behave like this? You're already so old. Does it suit you now?" She pointed at Justin who was sitting obediently and said, "Look at him. Even a kid is more sensible than you."
"I know. I know. I'm so old now. Of course, you don't like me anymore."
Mu Chenyan could not believe that this old man who was acting like an unreasonable kid right now was actually the feared Elder Xiang. Did he have no shame? How could he even act like this?
Grandfather Xiang looked at Justin and said, "See? She is so naggy. It's tiring."
"Oh, my Gawd!" was Mu Chenyan's reaction. "Are you actually complaining about me to a kid?"
"Be nice. Don't scare our little guest here."
Actually, Justin was far from scared. He grew up with his mother and the nanny. He had no aunts. No uncles. No grandparents. So, it was the first time he saw such a lively scene of a family. Even if it were just two people bickering, he was listening and watching everything attentively. And he was quite amused too.
He had heard about both grandfather Xiang and Mu Chenyan from Raelle. After all, if Raelle started talking about her family, she'd first mention these two people. So, Justin really wanted to meet these two people. Who knew he'd meet them here like this and see this scene?
*Ahem! Ahem!*
Both Grandfather Xiang and Mu Chenyan looked over and found Xiang Weimin standing there looking at them along with Raelle who stood behind him. Xiang Weimin came first and had seen quite the scene before him but Raelle just came so she didn't know the whole scene.
"Why are you just standing here?" asked Raelle. "It's not good to make your guests wait."
Xiang Weimin nodded and entered the room.
Meanwhile, both Grandfather Xiang and Mu Chenyan stopped talking once they saw Xiang Weimin. Not because they were embarrassed at all. They both shared the same look as they stared at Xiang Weimin's face and then looked over at Justin. And finally, they looked at each other with the same emotions of surprise.
