Chapter 621 Elder Sister In fact, Professor Gou didn't think her words were wrong. She was really the invisible enemy to everyone in the family. After all, as she said, she was a legend. Her competence couldn't be described just in words. She could really make anyone doubt themselves. She was just that kind of existence.
Mu Chenyan patted her uncle's shoulder like she was talking to an old friend and said, "Uncle, I'll come to see you some other time. And don't overthink. You should know by now, I don't take things to my heart. You're my uncle. You're my mother's family. How can I forget you?"
"Forget it. I don't even know if I'll be alive if I waited for you," said Professor Gou. "I'll come and pay a visit to Brother Tian as well."
Mu Chenyan instantly nodded as her eyes brightened, "Yes, yes, you should come and spend some time with Elder Xiang. He is always alone. So, if you have time, do come over."
Professor Gou felt complicated in his heart when he looked at her expressions. She was so happy just because he wanted to come to visit Xiang Tianyu. In the end, she was happy because he'd be giving company to her Elder Xiang.
"I will come," he told her. "But why are you?"
"Oh, my nephew had an appointment here," said Mu Chenyan.
Professor Gou looked at the tall man beside her while she introduced them, "This is my nephew. Lieutenant Colonel Xiang Weimin and that's my niece, Major Xiang Wai. As for the youngest one, you already met her."
Professor Gou's eyes looking at Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai changed once he heard the introduction. He smiled amicably at them and greeted them before telling Mu Chenyan, "Yes, I met the youngest one. She left quite an impression."
Mu Chenyan chuckled, "I wouldn't expect any less from her."
The pride in her voice couldn't be overlooked. Professor Gou touched her head once again but this time, he did it gently, "Come, Uncle will buy you lunch."
"There is still time for lunch," said Mu Chenyan.
"Then I'll buy you a drink," he added.
"Uncle, I am old now. I don't need you to buy me a candy to coax me."
"You brat! I couldn't coax you with candy even when you're three!"
Mu Chenyan nodded seriously, "True. I just never was the candy girl."
"Take care of yourself," said Professor Gou Danhong and even exchanged a few sentences with the Xiang siblings before going back to join the group of doctors who had been eyeing this scene while pretending to not look.
They all had the same question. Who was this woman? How was she related to the dean? And why was their dean so nice to her? It had to be pointed out that their dean wasn't even this gentle when he spoke to his own daughter.
"Aunt, you come from a doctor family," said Xiang Weimin.
"Yes," answered Mu Chenyan. "Both my paternal and maternal families had a long list of doctors that served the nation and its people. But I ain't a doctor."
"I heard you dropped out of medical school," said Xiang Wai.
Mu Chenyan nodded, "I did." She didn't think there was anything to hide about that.
"Why?" asked Xiang Weimin.
"Because I didn't have the lofty ambition of serving the nation or its people. I was always a selfish person and I always just wanted to live for myself," was Mu Chenyan's serious reply to the two of them. "Doctors need to have compassion, I have none. As you just heard from my uncle, I'm just a heartless brat. And doctors can't be heartless. So, I was never suitable for this profession."
However, both siblings actually didn't believe her words at all. Because they couldn't tell how she was a selfish person at all. If she was selfish, why did she spend her whole life on Raelle? Or taking care of their grandfather? In fact, whether it was Raelle or Grandfather Xiang, neither was Mu Chenyan's responsibility at all.
But she still put effort, time, hard work, and even her feelings into taking care of everything.
And that's why they couldn't take her as a selfish or a heartless person at all. Even when it came to them, they couldn't find a fault in her for anything.
"Why did I have to run into him here?" Mu Chenyan was still lamenting to herself when they got into the car. "Now, I'll have to find a chance to meet him again."
"Aunt, you don't like your maternal family?" asked Xiang Wai.
"It's nothing like that," said Mu Chenyan. "It's just that... I don't have time for this family reunion stuff."
"And just a couple of hours ago, you were saying how you're the freest person in the family. You have all the time in the world."
Mu Chenyan felt like she had smacked her own foot by saying that. But she was the one who said it, she couldn't deny it. "Okay. I have time but I don't have the energy."
"Now, you're suddenly acting like an old lady," Xiang Wai pointed out.
"But I am an old lady," she argued.
"How so? Didn't you hear from the doctor earlier? He thought you're my elder sister!" Xiang Weimin was still amused by that.
Mu Chenyan scrunched up her nose, "Maybe there is something wrong with the doctor's eyes?"
"It seems aunt just loves to prove herself right," said Xiang Wai.
"I have always been right," said Mu Chenyan. "But even if I don't look like it. I'm in my forties. I am a middle-aged woman. How much energy can I possibly have?"
"At least, more than most women your age," was Xiang Wai's response.
"You girl, really..." Mu Chenyan didn't continue and just sighed to herself. "Forget it. I lost."
What she didn't tell them was that what she said to her uncle earlier was absolutely true. Her cousins were actually threatened by her presence because they couldn't shine when she was around. Even though she had been looking like a salted fish, they were still not her competition.
