Chapter 701 Hated Someone



Chapter 701 Hated Someone

”Aunt, do you meet Director Su often?” asked Xiang Wai. 

”Nope,” said Mu Chenyan lazily. “I haven’t seen her in person in a long while.”

”You have been away from the country for so long, how did you manage to maintain all these connections?”

Mu Chenyan sighed, “Once upon a time, we were all friends. Comrades. Brothers and sisters! In friendship, time doesn’t matter. No matter how much time passes, some relationships survive the test of time.”

”Can you take me to the meal with Director Su?”

Mu Chenyan looked at her niece and raised her brow, “Why are you interested in her?”

”I just heard a lot of things about her,” said Xiang Wai. “Besides, I have worked with their teams. They really have the best intelligence officers. I once worked with Director Su’s niece and heard a lot about her. So, I was just curious about her.”

”Sure,” agreed Mu Chenyan. “I’ll take you with me. Anyway, Jie is a very nice person. She won’t mind.”

Xiang Wai’s lips twitched. Were they talking about the same person? But then again, looking at her aunt, she couldn’t say anything. Everyone seemed nice to her. Perhaps, she was too nice so everyone was nice to her.

”By the way, you really worked with Jie’s niece before? Her name is… Yan Ying, right?”

Xiang Wai nodded her head, “Yes, that’s her. I was new to the team back then. She was the Captain of her team. But I didn’t meet her again.”

Mu Chenyan had a thoughtful look, “I don’t think she takes the fieldwork since she had a kid.”

Xiang Wai snickered, “Even her niece has a kid but I heard Director Su is still single.”

”You don’t have to laugh about that, your own aunt is the same.” Xiang Wai stopped immediately. She also realized that point. Looking at her sheepishly look, Mu Chenyan didn’t continue, “Forget it.” She took a pause and added, “You both leave now.”

It wasn’t just a suggestion this time. They could tell that she wanted them to leave immediately. So, they had to leave.

”Aunt would have been an amazing soldier,” commented Xiang Wai with admiration.

”No,” said Xiang Weimin. “Dad is right. Aunt would never make a good soldier. She loves freedom. Law and rules are her shackles, she’d rather not be bonded by them. She has all the qualities of a good soldier, except for one. She isn’t a selfless person. She holds grudges like no other. And she doesn’t like being wronged.”

”Isn’t it strange though?” questioned Xiang Wai. “She grew up in the barracks and still didn’t want to be a soldier. Even though she trained with the soldiers.”

”It isn’t strange at all,” was all Xiang Weimin said. He seemed to have understood his aunt better after meeting her. She might seem like she was looking for trouble but it wasn’t true. It was better to say that she was too lazy. 

So rather than talking things out, she’d rather use her fists to solve the problem. And that’s how troubles brewed around her all the time. 

He couldn’t even imagine how his father managed to grow up with such a sister. She must have been a handful. 

”Ge, don’t you think Yanjun has changed?” asked Xiang Wai suddenly.

Xiang Weimin looked at his sister and paused for a moment, “Didn’t you break up? Why are you paying attention to him?”

”I… I just noticed it,” said Xiang Wai. “Anyone would be able to notice. It wasn’t like I was paying specific attention to him.”

Xiang Weimin shook his head. Her guilty conscience was obvious but she refused to say it. Why was this sister too stubborn? Forget it, the truth is exactly like their grandfather said. They were all stubborn!

”You’re right,” said Xiang Weimin. “Yanjun is changing. Slowly but certainly he is willing to open up now. He seems happier than before.”

Xiang Wai lowered her eyes as she said, “But isn’t it unfair? I tried so hard to make him open up to me. I loved him for ten years but I couldn’t change him at all.”

”Wai, you know that Yannjun has PTSD right?” asked Xiang Weimin. 

”I know,” said Xiang Wai. “And I also know his mother had been his trigger. But he recovered from that. I did everything I could to help him recover. Only then was he able to join the army.”

”If his mother was the trigger, then someone had to be his salvation,” spoke Xiang Weimin. “You have met Aunt Yue already, what do you think about her?”

Xiang Wai was quiet, she didn’t know what to say.

”You only notice one thing but oftentimes overlook the most important things,” said Xiang Weimin. “I don’t know what his mother did to scar him for life. But I do know that the savior he needed was his Aunt Yue. She definitely plays a big part in his childhood. A part we both are unfamiliar with. I have seen how turns into a kid whenever he is around her. He doesn’t even act like that with his own family.” He took a pause and looked straight at his sister, “Listen to me carefully, we can’t always become a missing piece of the puzzle in someone’s life. Yes, you loved him a lot but what he needed was someone who would make him feel safe and protected. Because he had always been an insecure person.”

”Ge, why is love so difficult?” asked Xiang Wai.

”If it was easy, it wouldn’t so meaningful,” replied Xiang Weimin.

”Ge, have you ever been in love?” asked Xiang Wai. She didn’t know why she questioned that out of nowhere. But she was suddenly curious. She had never heard her brother talking about a woman. Or even a man he was interested in. In fact, he was like an ascetic monk in her opinion who found his job more thrilling than any relationship.

”Love?” repeated Xiang Weimin. “I’m not sure about that. But I have hated someone with every fiber of my being.”
