Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1246: All Are Grandchildren

Chapter 1246: All Are Grandchildren

Song Xin'ai arrived quite late at the Song family house but surprisingly, everyone seemed to be awake at this time and was gathered in the main room. As if waiting for her to come and stand in for the trial. She mentally sighed to herself and reminded herself for a millionth time that murder was a crime. And she was a law-abiding citizen. She should stick with her principles.         

    

Only after convincing herself, did she step in.     

"You unfilial thing, kneel!"     

Song Xin'ai avoided the vase that flew towards her head easily but did not move to kneel as she was ordered by her mother.      

"Mother, feudalism is no longer a thing in our modern society. You should really move forward with the new age and leave your old habits behind."     

Grandma Song's eyes widened when she heard that from her most timid daughter. Not only her but everyone in the room had an indescribable look on their faces when they heard that from Song Xin'ai. When had Song Xin'ai ever talked back to Grandma Song? No matter how unreasonable this old lady was, Song Xin'ai was too lazy to argue back.      

And that's why everyone had gotten used to her silence in such situations. They seemed to have forgotten that she wasn't as obedient as she seemed. If she was, she wouldn't have gone against everyone in this family to marry Xiang Hulin back then.     

It could be said that Song Xin'ai had gotten lazier over the years because after her divorce she truly gave up on herself and just went with the flow in life. As long as these people didn't go too far, she'd still go along with their wishes but it seemed, that gave them a very wrong impression of who she really was.     

"How dare you talk back to me?!" shouted Grandma Song with her eyes turning red and her breathing getting harsh.      

Seeing this, her sister moved over and patted Grandma Song's chest in worry as she looked at Song Xin'ai in accusation, "Sister, how can you speak to mother like this? What if she gets sick? Apologize to her!"     

"If I am able to talk, why can't I talk back to her?" asked Song Xin'ai finding it very funny. "Oh, and you can drop the act. It's been too overdone. Even I'm tired of watching it. Just because I don't say it doesn't mean that I am blind."     

Her sister and her mother both froze because of her reaction and didn't know how to continue this act that they had been playing for years.      

Grandpa Song cleared his throat to get everyone's attention which also gave Grandma Song to take a step down without losing her majesty.     

"Xin'ai," started Grandpa Song. "Your sister went to see your daughter. We invited her for your mother's birthday but she insulted your sister. She did not give our Song family a face. What are you gonna do about it?"     

Song Xin'ai finally understood why she was called here. She came out of lab after days and the first message she received was that her family had something urgent and wanted her to go back home. So, this is an urgent matter. They went to Raelle and got slapped in the face so now they came to her to seek justice?      

She did not think this scheming family would have a day where they'd collectively act like fools.     

"Wai didn't tell me anything about this," said Song Xin'ai acting completely oblivious. Like she didn't know which daughter they were speaking about. But did it matter? They didn't clarify it themselves. Can't blame her for this. "I'll call her right now and ask her how can she talk back to her aunt."     

"It's not Wai," said her sister. "It's Raelle we are talking about."     

Song Xin'ai had a look of understanding but soon she looked a little embarrassed as she said, "Oh, it's Raelle. Then... I'm sorry I can't help you seek justice, sister. You see, if it was Wai I could still call her and reprimand her for anything. But Raelle is just a daughter of mine in name. I don't even dare to call her my daughter out loud to people."     

Those words struck her sister who was reminded of what Raelle told her in the office. Even Song Xin'ai didn't dare to call herself her mother, who was she to claim to be her aunt?      

"How can you not? You gave birth to her!" said Grandma Song stubbornly.     

"I only gave birth to her and then I lost her too," reminded Song Xin'ai. "It was my ex-mother-in-law who gave her the real life. I really can't just go and say anything to her. Besides, in all these years she had been the only granddaughter of the Xiang family so they are very protective of her. If I even said a wrong word, even Mu Chenyan won't let me go."     

"How dare she! Who is she? She isn't even the Xiang family's daughter," yelled Grandma Song.     

"That's what you and I can say behind closed doors but Xiang family doesn't like to hear that. My ex-mother-in-law made it clear to everyone that she considered Mu Chenyan her own daughter. And even Mr. Xiang Tianyu sees her as a part of the family. So, she does have the right to speak on behalf of the Xiang family. At least more than I do. Not only that but, as I said, they have a closer bond with Raelle. She is their bottom line. I wouldn't wanna try my luck by going to challenge her. So, I can only wrong my sister here."     

She looked so genuinely apologetic that none of them could tell if she was acting or was she really sincere? However, it didn't really matter at the moment considering that her words made them all jolt a little.     

"Is Xiang Tianyu going to be so partial? All are his grandchildren. He can't favor one over another," said Grandpa Song.         

    

"But it's a fact that Raelle grew up in front of his eyes and the other two didn't. How can he be not partial?"     

Mentally she rolled her eyes at her parents, as if they weren't partial at all. Hypocrites!
