Chapter 791 A Lot To Learn
"Papa, Grandpa, Uncle Kuijun is here," reported Xiang Wai.
"You lost," said Grandfather Xiang to his son righteously.
Xiang Hulin looked back at the chess board and frowned. He felt like something was wrong. The position of his piece was wrong. Did his father do it? He looked up at his father and mentally shook his head. That wasn't possible? That was his own father. The father he had looked up to all his life and admired so much. How could the respectable Xiang Tianyu do something despicable like cheating?
And that too in a chess game?
He was a master of chess.
Maybe it was him who remembered it wrong. Yes, that could be the only reason.
"What are you staring at?" asked Grandfather Xiang without even feeling guilty about the trick he just played with his own son.
Poor General Xiang Hulin was still oblivious to the fact that after all these years, Hyson had a huge influence on Grandfather Xiang. So, playing a small trick like moving the position of a chess piece was no big deal. At least, he won.
"Nothing," said Xiang Hulin. "I was just thinking how good you are at chess even now."
"Of course," Grandfather Xiang took that compliment without feeling embarrassed.
"Who did you say is here?" asked Xiang Hulin to his daughter.
"Uncle Kuijun," repeated Xiang Wai. Actually, she had seen what happened in that split second when his father's attention was grabbed by her voice earlier. She knew clearly what her grandfather did but she didn't expose him at all.
It didn't seem like her father mind losing to her grandfather. So, why would she poke her nose into their matter? She'd just let them play the way they wanted.
"Kuijun?" asked Xiang Hulin. "What is he doing here?"
"He said he is here to visit grandfather," she told him. "And along the way, he decided to say hello to you."
Xiang Hulin nodded his head and looked at his father.
"Go and greet your friend," said Grandfather Xiang. "I'll be there in a while."
"Yes, father," Xiang Hulin stood up obediently and went to the living room.
Once he was gone, Xiang Wai looked at her grandfather, "Grandpa, I saw what you did there?"
"Oh, what did I do?" Grandfather Xiang was still composed. "I was just teaching my son a lesson."
"Oh? What's that lesson? I should also learn as his daughter."
"In a battlefield, distraction is not allowed," replied Grandfather Xiang. "You don't know when the enemy might catch up to you. So, always be on your toes."
Xiang Wai nodded her head, "That's a very good lesson. But I think Papa only let his guard down because he wasn't expecting you to trick him."
"All the more reason for him to learn well," said Grandfather Xiang. "Trust is good but blind trust can lead to your death. Sometimes the people you don't guard against are the ones who dig your grave."
Xiang Wai clapped her hands saying, "Grandfather is still grandfather. I really have a lot to learn from you." She took a pause and added, "Did you teach it all to Raelle?"
Grandfather Xiang nodded his head, "Yes. I taught her whatever I could."
"No wonder she has so much to say," muttered Xiang Wai.
"You should be glad she is willing to say a few more words to you," said Grandfather Xiang. "With people, she has no interest in, she doesn't even waste her breath and cherish her words like a treasure."
"Really? Does she treasure her words more than money?" asked Xiang Wai.
"She doesn't treasure money. There are five things that she values. Trust, loyalty, her time, her words, and the people she calls family," told Grandfather Xiang to Xiang Wai. "Money is something she is capable of earning. She never lacked it so she never treasured it. But that doesn't mean she ever stops talking about it."
Xiang Wai walked with Grandfather Xiang who operated his wheelchair to go into the living room. "Go and tell someone to bring tea for us."
"Okay," replied Xiang Wai and left.
Grandfather Xiang entered the living room and found Zhai Kuijun teasing his son.
"You must be on cloud nine," Zhai Kuijun poked Xiang Hulin with his elbow. "You didn't even tell me that you got the entry into the house."
Xiang Hulin actually had a very complicated look on his face when he faced his good friend. What could he do? He already knew that Zhai Kuijun had been desperately looking for Yue Yue and currently, the same Yue Yue was residing in this very house. It seemed fate really knew how to play.
"I was gonna tell you," said Xiang Hulin. "But I was still reeling from this feeling of surreality. I decided to wait to confirm that it was all true and not just a dream."
"Don't talk nonsense with me," said Zhai Kuijun. "I already know, seeing your sister and your father, you forgot the rest of the world. No need to give me that crappy excuse of yours."
"If you already know, why are you even asking me that pointless question?" asked Xiang Hulin.
"Whatever! I was very happy for you when Jun told me about it," said Zhai Kuijun. "But... I also heard about Raelle."
Xiang Hulin's expression changed when he heard that. He tried to control his emotions and said, "Somethings are really not in our control."
Zhai Kuijun nodded in agreement, "I for sure understand that." He took a pause and added, "I was actually planning on going to the hospital to see Raelle but Jun said I better not go there."
"Raelle doesn't like people coming to visit the sick," came Grandfather Xiang's voice as he came inside. "Even if she is sick, she never likes to be treated as a patient."
This had to be the first time, so many people got to visit her at the hospital. Before that, whenever she was sick, she didn't even want her own grandfather to come to see her since he'd always get depressed just seeing her sick. And more than her own illness, his health mattered more to her.
