Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 813 Talent & Dream

　　"You should be on my side," said Zhai Yanjun.

　　"Why?" asked Hyson.

　　"I'm your brother!" 

　　Hyson shrugged, "Whatever!" He took a pause and added, "Besides, you both have broken up for over a year now. Don't you both claim that you've moved on? I'll just give you both an opportunity to properly move on now. No need to thank me. I just love being the good guy."

　　Zhai Yanjun held the glass of water in his hand and his hand shook.

　　"Don't even think about throwing water on my face," warned Hyson. "It won't end well for you."

　　"I know," gritted out Zhai Yanjun. Even though he had the thought of throwing water at Hyson's face, even he was clear that he couldn't do it. Dealing with Hyson was the most difficult thing for Zhai Yanjun and even for Xiang Wai.

　　Hyson took a bite of the spring rolls and caught sight of Zhai Kuijun looking at him intently. He put down the remaining spring rolls and looked up at Zhai Kuijun. "Is it that hard to believe that I'm Yue Yue's son?"

　　Zhai Kuijun instinctively nodded his head but then shook his head, "It's not just that. I was thinking about fate. I met you a couple of times before but never thought we'd be connected in this way."

　　'If you're this shocked by this news. I wonder how will you survive if you learned that I'm actually your son?' were Hyson's thoughts but his expression remained the same. He had no mood for playing father and son play with Zhai Kuijun so he'd rather keep his thoughts to himself.

　　Xiang Hulin looked at his best friend and then at Hyson before silently sighing to himself. In fact, Xiang Hulin's thoughts were exactly like Hyson's. Even he was wondering how Zhai Kuijun would react if he learned whose son Hyson was. Would he even be able to handle this truth?

　　"I say, instead of choosing music as your major, you should have applied for performing arts," spoke Xiang Wai. "You are very talented. Why waste your talent in the music industry? The tv industry is losing out on a gem like you."

　　"At least, I have a talent and a dream," retorted Hyson. "What about you, Major? Why don't you find your own path first?"

　　"Ouch!" 

　　Xiang Wai glared at her brother and Xiang Weimin pretended like he didn't see anything.

　　  Xiang Hulin pursed his lips to hide his laughter. He was actually enjoying this bickering. It wasn't every day he'd see his daughter getting so worked up. How could he not enjoy it?

　　*Ring*

　　Xiang Hulin's smile vanished when he looked at the display on his phone screen. He frowned deeply and stood up with his phone before excusing himself and going out to take the call.

　　"What a surprise," said Xiang Hulin as soon as he accepted the call. "Should I call it an honor that Dr. Song is looking for me on her own accord?"

　　Song Xin'ai could hear the derision in his voice but didn't pay attention to that. "I heard something happened."

　　"Dr. Song, how can you be so slow?" asked Xiang Hulin.

　　"I was called back to the laboratory during the banquet. So, I left halfway. You know that we are not allowed to take our phones inside. I just got a break today and didn't expect to know that a storm was raised by the Xiang family." She knew she was really slow with the updates. It had always been like that. But once she chose to be a researcher and joined this national laboratory, it was already established that she'd lose the touch with society and she did.

　　It was like that years ago and it was still like that even though she was the senior researcher and the most respected person in the labs now.

　　"Well, you shouldn't be surprised," said Xiang Hulin. "Xiang family had always been capable of calling wind and rain."

　　Song Xin'ai took a deep breath and said, "You can stop bragging about your family. I know what Xiang is capable of. What I want to know is what happened exactly?"

　　"What? You don't have the resources to know the whole truth?" asked Xiang Hulin.

　　"Where will get those resources?" retorted Song Xin'ai. "Stop being difficult and just give me an answer. I only heard it has something to do with Raelle. Can you at least tell me what happened? And..." She took a pause feeling anxious and asked, "Is she okay?"

　　"She is alive if that's what you want to know," answered Xiang Hulin.

　　"Hulin!" she snapped at him. "Do you really think I want something to happen to her? Don't forget that she is also my daughter."

　　"You and I both don't deserve to claim her as our daughter," said Xiang Hulin. "Anyway, since you gave birth to her, I'll tell you. She got attacked and had a miscarriage. There was someone else at the scene namely Ms. Tang Hebe who saved her from a serious and life-threatening situation."

　　Song Xin'ai went silent when she heard him say that. She didn't react for a long time. 

　　Xiang Hulin also didn't speak and gave her time to process this news. It wasn't that easy for him to accept it. Xiang Hulin and Song Xin'ai both were strangers to Raelle but it couldn't be denied that they were her parents. And no matter how strong these individuals were, as parents they couldn't help feeling pain for their children.

　　Especially, for the child whom they thought they owed the most.

　　"Which hospital?" asked Song Xin'ai.

　　"You want to pay her a visit?" asked Xiang Hulin.

　　"I don't need to tell you that. Just tell me the hospital," said Song Xin'ai. So, Xiang Hulin just informed her about the hospital and hung up the call. He didn't think they had anything else to talk about. And if it wasn't to ask about Raelle, Song Xin'ai wouldn't have called her today either.
