620: Quite Taxing

Quite Taxing

1"Doctor, is there anything we need to pay attention to?" asked Mu Chenyan while Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai stood to the side with a helpless look on their faces. It couldn't be helped. Their aunt was just that kind of a person. She had to have the detailed information in her hands.

From the time they met the doctor, she was silent but after the examination, her questions started pouring out. In fact, her knowledge of his injury was so thorough that it shocked Xiang Weimin. It made him realize how she had always been keeping an eye on him while he was oblivious to it all. 

On the other hand, Xiang Wai was impressed by Mu Chenyan's understanding of medical terminologies. The way the doctor looked at Mu Chenyan with an excited look and conversed with her like they were old friends really made her look at her aunt once again. Just what kind of a devil her aunt was?

It seemed when her father said she was capable of anything. He really meant ANYTHING!

"Lieutenant Colonel Xiang, with your elder sister taking care of you, I can be assured," said the doctor.

Xiang Weimin pursed his lips before saying, "That's my aunt."

The doctor glanced at Mu Chenyan and gaped blatantly, "My mistake. I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Mu Chenyan said casually as if it didn't matter. And it indeed didn't matter. Even she would agree that it was hard to tell her age just from her looks alone. 

The doctor cleared his throat and added, "Anyway, you don't have to come for a regular checkup every week from now on. We can see each other after 14 days."

"Okay," replied Xiang Weimin.

When they walked out of the doctor's office, Mu Chenyan held Xiang Weimin's reports in her hands and was thinking about something. She didn't see where she was going and suddenly a voice came from behind that startled her.

"You heartless brat! Stop right there!"

Mu Chenyan immediately stopped and asked, "Are we in the Hope Foundation Hospital?"

"Yes," answered Xiang Wai.

Mu Chenyan facepalmed herself. "Shut the front door! Why didn't I pay attention to this detail?" The blame lay with herself. Because she was so focused on Xiang Weimin's appointment with the doctor that she didn't even care where the doctor was. But now that she was reminded which hospital they were in. She could only sigh at her bad luck.

She turned around with a smile and waved at that old man surrounded by doctors in white coats. "Hi, Uncle Gou! You're looking... old."

Professor Gou Danhong's face twitched when he heard that comment coming from her. He so wanted to smack this heartless brat. Even though he was her maternal uncle, she was never willing to give him the same respect that she gave Xiang Tianyu. He didn't mind that. He knew what the Xiang family meant to Mu Chenyan. What he did mind was this brat's attitude! How could she cut off all contact with her own relatives?!

As they stood in the busy hospital, the doctors surrounding Professor Gou were gobsmacked right now. The dean of their hospital was looking furiously at the beautiful woman. They were suddenly scared for that lady.

However, who knew once Professor Gou walked to Mu Chenyan's side, he raised his hand and rubbed her head as if messing with her hair on purpose to vent his anger. "Heartless brat! Don't even care a little about your uncle! Were you planning on only coming when you heard the news of my funeral?!"

Mu Chenyan let him do whatever he wanted but still didn't forget to reply, "How can that be? Bad people don't die that soon or that easily."

"You!" Professor Gou looked at her helplessly. "I left a message for you."

Mu Chenyan fixed her hair and told him, "My Elle delivered your words to me."

"And you still didn't bother looking for me?"

"Uncle, you're a busy person. How can I waste your time by showing up so casually? I was planning on finding the time to make an appointment with you. In fact, I came today for that purpose."

"Really?" 

"You can ask these two," Mu Chenyan threw the pot to her niece and nephew without feeling guilty at all. "Right, Weimin and Wai?"

What could the siblings do right now? They were appalled by their aunt's act but they still nodded in agreement with her.

"Tsk! Don't you feel bad teaching the younger generation to lie with you?" Professor Gou Danhong didn't even fall for her schemes even for a second. He might not have spent a lot of time with Mu Chenyan but he was all too familiar with what kind of a person she was. He could only sigh to himself at the helplessness he felt whenever he came around her. 

She was a child who grew up without parents so most people weren't able to control her. She was rebellious to the point that she could make you feel like strangling her. Back then, even her maternal family wanted to take her home to raise but in the end, they couldn't control her. The only people she listened to were Elder Xiang and his wife. 

"You've been back for almost a year and yet didn't bother coming to see anyone from the family. Do you really not take us as a family?"

Mu Chenyan pursed her lips and smiled at him, "Uncle, we are blood-related. I can't possibly deny this relationship even if I want to."

"Then why do you want to stay away from us?" asked Professor Gou. "Is it because of..."

He didn't get to complete his sentence when Mu Chenyan interrupted him, "I don't want to make anyone in the Gou family feel inferior and doubt their abilities." She flipped her hair arrogantly, "After all, having a legendary cousin like me can be quite taxing."

Professor Gou's lips twitched at her narcissism while Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai covered their lips to hide their smiles. Their aunt was just too much. It seemed she was only cautious with them. As for the rest of the world? She had a sharp tongue!
