It was still drizzling which left a cold chill in the early spring air at night. However, the people under the pavilion could really not feel it at all since they had a live barbecue stand not that far from them. The tempting aroma of the kebabs was enough to make anyone drool.
Adding on the best quality wine to go with that meal, made the atmosphere even more lively. While Grandfather Xiang entertained his best friend and his wife while the rest of the people were gathered in their own group.
"Yue, try some of this," said Mu Chenyan as she put a meat skewer on Mother Yue's plate.
Mother Yue was already hardly able to swallow anything because of how Shui Koshing had been scrutinizing her. She had even gone as far as to mess up her hairstyle to hide her face. Her heart was feeling really guilty. Since Shui Koshing was the last person she wanted to hide from like a thief.
And if the Zhai family's elders weren't here, she might have not hidden like this from Shui Koshing. But since those elders were present, she had no other choice. She could only bury her guilty conscience and keep acting like she didn't know any of them. Besides, even if she revealed her identity, she won't gain anything and instead might have to lose something really precious to her.
She couldn't even dream of losing her most precious thing.
"Chenyan, I thought you only care about our Raelle," Shui Koshing frowned at Mu Chenyan taking care of Mother Yue like a kid. In fact, he had long stopped suspecting the identity of Mother Yue. Now, his attention was on how Mu Chenyan treated Mother Yue.
As the ghost of being the troublemaker and a hooligan took over Mu Chenyan, she hugged Mother Yue's neck saying, "This beauty is mine. As a gentleman, it's my responsibility to take care of her."
Mother Yue glared at her before she held her hand and threw her off of her.
"Beauty, don't be angry!"
Shui Koshing chuckled at Mu Chenyan, "Chenyan, you're looking for a beating right now."
Mu Chenyan was unfazed as she shrugged her shoulders, "Brother Shing, every beauty is temperamental. A bit of coaxing can work like a wonder."
"Yanyan," Hyson spoke up. "Give up already! My mum won't fall for your tricks."
Mu Chenyan gave Hyson a glance, "Yue Fai, you have no idea how hard your mum has fallen for my tricks. Ouch!" That remark got her a punch from Mother Yue. "Okay, okay. I won't say anything." She took a deep breath and gazed at Shui Koshing, "Bro, you see, you took my daughter from me. Your son has already taken over my job. Now, I have to look for someone to take care of. Otherwise, it feels too empty."
"Don't blame me now," responded Shui Koshing. "I didn't take your daughter from you. I just took my daughter home."
Mother Yue smiled at his words and Mu Chenyan was left with no response to that. Mother Yue looked at Mu Chenyan, 'He is right. Our Elle just went to her home now. What are you whining about?'
Mu Chenyan pouted at her, "Yue, how can you take his side? I'm your best friend!"
Mother Yue didn't bother paying any attention to her. She was already quite displeased with how Mu Chenyan had tricked her today.
"Xian," Grandma Zhai came over to their side. "I have an invitation for tomorrow's art exhibition at the art center. How about you take your wife there?"
Shui Xian looked at Raelle and took the invitation from Grandma Zhai, "Thanks, grandma!"
"As someone whose passion is art," began Shui Koshing. "Shouldn't you be going to that exhibition yourself?"
"My daughter-in-law is going there with her friends, so I'm unwilling to go," was Grandma Zhai's straightforward reply.
Shui Koshing glanced at her, "Aunty, is it alright to show your dislike for your daughter-in-law so obviously? It's been years. Even your grandson is already at the age of marriage now and you are still over your dislike for your daughter-in-law?"
Grandma Zhai rubbed her face saying, "Koshing, just because you have a good daughter-in-law, doesn't mean everyone is as fortunate as you. Some of us are stuck with scheming women."
Mother Yue pursed her lips when she heard Grandma Zhai's words.
"Elder Xiang!" Mu Chenyan instantly called out. "See! This is the reason why I don't want to marry. This in-law's drama is not for me."
Grandma Zhai chuckled at Mu Chenyan's reaction as she said, "Darling if you had been my daughter-in-law, I'd have already died from a heart attack."
"Am I that bad in your eyes?"
Grandma Zhai shook her head, "It's not that you're a bad person. It's that you have dangerous hobbies. Half of my life would be drained just worrying about your safety. And the other half would be gone praying for your safety."
Mu Chenyan scratched her head sheepishly, "I have changed now."
"A leopard can sleep, can't change its spots," was Grandma Zhai's reaction. "Your track record isn't something to brag about. I have seen Brother Tianyu almost losing his mind worrying about your safety."
Mu Chenyan coughed to hide her secrets being exposed like this before the younger generation. It's not like she didn't know what kind of troubles she had caused for Elder Xiang. It was just that although Elder Xiang was known as a strict person, he was actually really patient with people he loved. And Mu Chenyan happened to be part of those people whom he cared about and loved.
That was one of the reasons she had been able to act so unreasonably in her teenage years. She was also a tyrant in everyone's eyes. There were hardly any aristocratic families who would want a daughter-in-law like her who loved to find troubles for herself.
And once learned of her legacy, it was even more unfathomable to believe that someone like Raelle was actually raised by someone like Mu Chenyan. These two had nothing in common. Except for the fact that they both could be considered bullies in their own ways.
