Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1156  Can't Do The Same

"What's the plan for the day?" asked Xiang Wai as she looked at everyone at the table. "I mean is everyone going back home from here or have other plans?"

Raelle was the first one to stand up and even pulled Shui Xian with him, "We have plans."

"I expected that," said Xiang Wai.

Raelle ignored her and looked at Shui Koshing and Grandfather Xiang as she told them, "Opa, Bà, we'll see you at dinner."

"Okay," agreed both of them.

"Have fun!" said Shui Koshing from behind. "There is no need to be in a hurry to come back. I can have dinner alone too." Of course, he wanted them to spend more and more time with each other. Even if he loved it when the kids spend time with him but he still didn't want them to always make plans considering his emotions. It was better for them to be free.

"What about you, Uncle Shing?" asked Hyson. "Where are you going?"

"Oh, there is a fishing site close to her. I thought I should go there today," said Shui Koshing.

"I'll come with you."

"Why are you joining me?" asked Shui Koshing. "Go and do something that youngsters do these days. Aren't your group mates here? Go and make plans with them."

Hyson thought about it before he agreed and stood up to leave too as he said, "So, everyone, have a good day. I'll take my leave now. Don't miss me too much."

"This fool!" commented Xiang Wai. "What about you, Ge?"

"I'm going home with Grandpa," answered Xiang Weimin. He didn't think he had anything else to do. Since Raelle stopped him from rushing, it was better to go home to calm his emotions.

"Then don't wait for me, I'm going out with Jun," told Xiang Wai.

"I have no time to wait for you, anyway," said Xiang Weimin. "Grandpa, let's go. We are not needed here."

Xiang Wai shrugged and turned to her own father, "Papa, what about you?"

"He is coming with me," told Shui Koshing. "I invited him to join me today. It's rare to have your father around after all."

Xiang Wai was surprised by this but soon accepted it. These in-laws should really spend more time together.

"Wai!"

"Yes, Mom?" asked Xiang Wai.

"Can we talk?"

Xiang Wai raised her brows but still followed her.

"What is it, Mom?"

Song Xin'ai took a moment to think about what to say and then she said to Xiang Wai, "If anyone from your grandparents' side look for you, ignore them."

Xiang Wai was taken aback, "Are you sure?"

"Listen to me first. If they come to look for Raelle, let me know."

Xiang Wai turned serious when she heard that, "Why are they looking for Raelle? What does my sister have to do with them? Do they even have the face to come in front of her?"

"I don't need to tell you so much to understand everything," said Song Xin'ai. "I always thought they were just weird and selfish but last night, I learned that they were also capable of insidious schemes. If they can make plans for your brother, they can do anything to Raelle too."

"Mom, you're really pitiful."

Song Xin'ai couldn't even get angry with this daughter of hers for what she just said.

"Don't mind, but it's true. I always thought I had it bad. But truthfully speaking, that's not the case. Even if our family was scattered, I still knew that there were people who loved me. But you... You can't have that wishful thinking. Why don't do some digging? What if you're not even their daughter??"

"You think we are in a drama?" asked Song Xin'ai. "Stop thinking so much nonsense. I have already done the digging. I really am their daughter."

Xiang Wai pursed her lips, "So, you really had doubts?"

"Who wouldn't?"

"Then what's the reason for the difference in treatment. I don't there is anyone else in that family who is treated as coldly and selfishly as you," said Xiang Wai.

Song Xin'ai was silent for a while before she shared, "I know the reason."

"What? What is it?"

prejudice against me. After all, she hated her mother-in-law, how could she like me who was raised by her mother-in-law?" She took "Because when I was born, my mom almost died from dystocia. So, she always believed that I was cursed. She threw me to my grandmother to raise. And that's why I couldn't get close to anyone else in the family. After I was brought back, my mom had another prejudice against me. After all, she hated her mother-in-law, how could she like me who was raised by her mother-in-law?" She took a pause and added, "Besides, you should know that I'm not very good at expressing or even understanding my own feelings. By the time, I realized that I was mistreated in that family, I already got used to it."

"All of that sounds like excuses to me," said Xiang Wai. "As educated people, how can you blame a child for anything?"

"Just because the roots were of a scholarly family, you think the Song family is still a bunch of scholars? They are all pretentious and face-saving idiots. Sooner or later, they'll all make the Song family go down the drain. Why do you think they keep insisting on holding my thigh even though they hate me?"

"I always thought you were unclear," commented Xiang Wai. "Now, it seems that you always knew everything. But you just didn't bother with anything."

"I wanted to make life easier but it didn't happen," answered Song Xin'ai. "But it did trouble you and my son a lot."

"Mom, they could trouble us but they can't do the same to Raelle. We might have reservations because of our profession but Raelle? She might make them all go out of a job."

Song Xin'ai pursed her lips and didn't deny it. "I know that all. I understand that Raelle is capable of it all but I still don't want her to be entangled by such people. It's better for Raelle to stay away from them."

"I'll let you know then if they really came to look for her," said Xiang Wai. "Anything else?"

Song Xin'ai lifted her hand and rubbed her head saying, "Take care of yourself. It looks good to see you being so lively. I guess love does it to people. So, enjoy your dating period."

Xiang Wai stared at her for a while before asking, "Don't you want to go back in time and experience it all again?"

"No," answered Song Xin'ai. "I think I'm already very satisfied with the present. I can see all my kids and have meals with them whenever I want. I still can feel the warmth of a family. Isn't that enough? We shouldn't be greedy in life, Wai."

Xiang Wai made a face at that answer. Actually, she had really expected to hear this answer. She didn't even know why she bothered asking when she knew the answer already.

"Call me if you miss me," said Song Xin'ai.

Xiang Wai was shocked by those words. When had her mother teased her like this.

"You can call even if you don't miss me."

Xiang Wai smiled and said, "What's the guarantee that I'll be able to reach you?"

"You will be, I promise!" said Song Xin'ai and didn't explain anything. "You and I have had a very bumpy relationship over the years. We had our differences and we argued a lot too because of our choices. But at the end of the day, you're still the closest to me. You might not believe it but I have always been very worried about you and your future."

"Because I seem to be not as capable as the other two?"

Song Xin'ai shook her head, "No. Because you have a lot more feelings than the other two. Weimin is like his father, no matter what happens he keeps a cool exterior and doesn't like to share his worries or thoughts very much. Raelle is like me, it's difficult for her to distinguish what she is even feeling. But you... You're like your grandmother. Wild and chaotic sometimes."

"I don't remember her that well," told Xiang Wai. "My memories of her are all blurry."

"It's understandable, you were very young," said Song Xin'ai. "Another example is your aunt Chenyan. You don't have to look for your grandma in your memories. Just look at Chenyan and you'd find her. I tell you, your grandma was just as dense as her. If your grandpa hadn't been the active party in their relationship and held on to her, things would have been different."

Xiang Wai laughed and said, "This is my first time hearing this. I thought it was my grandma who started it all. Because grandpa doesn't look like it."

"Your grandpa was very different before he got into that accident and lost his ability to walk. Although it's true that your grandma was very active, she only knew how to tease. However, when it came to taking responsibility, she'd be the first to run away."

Xiang Wai listened to all of this with interest. She didn't know why she argued so much with her mother over the years. It seemed it wasn't that difficult to get along with her as she always thought. Was it really because she was hot-tempered and was just unwilling to understand her mother's point of view?
