Chapter 854 Caring Sister
'She isn't that kind of a person.'Looking at the disapproval on his mother's face, Hyson smiled. "So what if she isn't that kind of a person? It's the truth that it's my stubbornness that allowed me to walk into her life. Maybe I'm a little selfish. She won't walk away but if I forgot her, I might walk away. After all, I don't want to go through the process of understanding Raelle Xiang all over again."
Xiang Wai felt something was wrong with what he just said and asked in a small voice, "Why? Why don't you want to know her again?"
"Because it's painful," he answered with a very serious look in his eyes. Xiang Wai was startled by the look in his eyes. She suddenly felt like his sunny disposition that she was familiar with was but just an illusion he had created. She felt uncomfortable with not just the look in his eyes but also his words.
Hyson closed his eyes and when he opened them, he was back to being his normal self as he laughed it off, "I meant Ellie can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Do I look like I want to go through everything she put me through all over again? Being her best friend is a tiring job."
Who knew what others thought about his explanation but Mu Chenyan didn't buy it. She rubbed his head lovingly as she said, "Why think about something that didn't happen? Don't talk nonsense anymore."
Hyson gave her a toothy grin and agreed, "You're right. It didn't even happen. Why am I being so long-winded?" He rubbed his stomach saying, "I'm so hungry."
"Let's have breakfast," said Mu Chenyan while keeping her eyes on him. She understood what Hyson said more than anyone else. He was right. The process of understanding Raelle had been quite difficult for Hyson but understanding her was more painful to him.
He understood her way too well. It was his blessing and a curse as well.

She lowered her voice and added, "Rather than always sympathizing with Elle, focus more on yourself. Life hadn't been that fair to you either."
Hyson didn't think she'd say it and shook his head, "Yanyan, life had been very fair to me. Life indeed left me with some longings but I was also given a lot in return. You always have to give something in return for something. And if I have exchanged everything in my life for the chance of having you as my godmother and Ellie as my best friend, I don't mind doing it all over again."
Mu Chenyan was stunned silent by his words. This kid...
"My godson is indeed the best," she kissed the top of his head.
"What are you both whispering?" asked Xiang Hulin. "Why leave Yue Yue out of it? That's not fair to her."
'I'm always forgotten.'
Hyson gave his mother a look at her dissatisfaction and joked, "Who asked you to bring a stepfather like Yanyan into my life?"
Several people choked when they heard it including Yue Yue. She drank some water to ease her coughing before glaring at her son.
'What nonsense are you spouting early in the morning?'
Hyson shrugged his shoulder, "I always speak nonsense. That's just who I am. Don't you already know your son?"
Before Yue Yue could say anything, they heard a chuckle and looked over, "Fai is still Fai."
"Uncle Shing!" Hyson called out happily. "What are you doing here? No, I should ask where have you been lately?"
Shui Koshing also took a seat with them looking tired, "Isn't it because of my stupid son? I took early retirement and thought I'd be a salted fish from now on. But what happened? My son actually threw his father out to work at this age. Is there any justice in the world?"
Hyson was silent for a moment before saying, "I just realized, I really am a bad influence on people. Everyone is getting dramatic with me."
"Did you just notice?" asked Xiang Wai.
"I'm being serious here," said Shui Koshing.
Yue Yue stood up and served breakfast to Shui Koshing saying, 'Brother Shing, you eat something. Don't pay attention to him.'
Shui Koshing smiled at her, "Oh, it's good to have a caring sister."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I believe it's your caring sister who invited you over to breakfast this morning?"
Shui Koshing looked up at Mu Chenyan and didn't deny her words. It was indeed Yue Yue who asked him to come over.
"It's good mum called you over," said Hyson. "Uncle Shing should come over more. Didn't Opa say a long time ago that you should come over for meals? Why stay alone in that big house?"
"But if I stopped living in that big house, ghosts will take this chance to reside there," said Shui Koshing eerily.
Hyson gulped, "Then you should stay there. It's good to guard your own hours."
Everyone laughed at his words and his expressions. He wasn't scared of anything but looked like he was losing half of his life when ghosts were mentioned.
Hyson pouted, "You all are actually fooling me now? Uncle Shing, do you think I won't tell Ellie about this?"
"Woah! Calm down, Fai! No need to get my daughter-in-law involved. How can I fool you? Trust me, uncle is very serious right now."
"Tsk. How can you be scared of your daughter-in-law?" asked Mu Chenyan.
"Who said I'm scared of my daughter-in-law? I'm more scared of you," responded Shui Koshing. "After all, it's you who slammed me against the wall before Raelle and Xian's wedding and said, 'You better be a good father to my Elle or I don't mind sending you to reunite with your wife early.'"
Hyson looked at Mu Chenyan who pursed her lips, "How can you take my words seriously? I was joking. Really joking."
