Chapter 45: Does it work down there?

The entire Chi family was gathered in the living room for the meeting that Chi Lian had urgently called. Scattered around in different seats, they had varying expressions on their faces. Some appeared to be worried but others unbothered.

Papa Chi for one was watching an old movie television while Mama Chi was watching toddler story time on the web TV. She had to support her daughter.

"Why are we here?" Chi Wei was anxious to get whatever this was over with so that he could get back to his lab. He was so close to cracking the secret of the toys.

"I gathered you all because I want your opinion on something serious. It has to do with Mei-Mei."

"What’s wrong with Mei-Mei?" Mama Chi looked upstairs anxiously.

Papa Chi switched off the television, Chi Zimo and Chi Rui put down their phones and Chi Wei calmed down.

"Nothing is wrong with her, I just had a conversation with Muyang today and he proposed something."

"Let me guess, his family wants you to stay away from him because you have a child so he wants you to abandon Mei-Mei. I knew this would happen. All these uppity traditional families_"

"Chi Wei," She cut him off. "It’s not like that, first wait for me to finish my explanation."

Her brother was one of those people who jumped to conclusions really quickly. What exactly had he experienced to become so cynical?

"Hurry up and say it." Mama Chi rushed her.

"Muyang wants to adopt Mei-Mei." She informed them.

"No way!" the entire family rejected her at once.

"Wait, wait... Let me correct myself." She lifted her hands up and moved them up and down in a please calm down movement.

"He is not taking her away from me; he wants to become her father, just like I became her mother."

She went on to explain the story about the mistaken identification of Mei-Mei by Muyang’s family and the DNA test. Finally, she told them about his decision and the reasons for it.

When she was finished, they were all as silent as the sea on a calm night.

"So where does that leave you? If he becomes her father then do you become his wife?" Mama Chi asked in a hopeful tone. It would not be so bad if that young man was her son-n-law.

"It’s a little more complicated than that." Chi Lian said in a sharper tone.

"Meaning he wants Mei-Mei but doesn’t want you." Chi Rui concluded. There was no other explanation.

"It’s_, I mean_" She tried to find the best words to explanation the situation but her brothers had already drawn their own conclusions.

Papa Chi finally stepped in with his own opinion. As the head of the family, his words mattered the most.

"When you adopted Mei-Mei, we accepted it and loved her and because you are our daughter so we will always support you unconditionally. When your aunt and cousin were here insulting you and calling Mei-Mei a bastard my heart broke. I knew that we could not protect you from the hideous judgment and finger pointing of others out there. Battling ignorance is a long road and as your father, I would prefer that you don’t do it. So, if you agree with it, I support you."

"Daddy." She run and threw herself into his arms. His support for all her decisions was truly wonderful.

"I support you too." Mama Chi informed her. "In my opinion, Mei-Mei having a father is a good thing. But you should protect yourself just in case he marries someone else in future, He should not be able to have full custody of her."

"I know. He said he wants the paperwork to look as spotless as mine so that he is known as her biological father not her adoptive father."

"Really!" her mother was shocked.

She pulled Chi Lian to the side and whispered in her ears, "Are you sure he does not have a problem down there?"

"Mum..." she pulled away in horror.

"I am just worried; he is a young healthy man so why would he want to raise someone else’s child? If he has a problem down there we can find a solution before your relationship becomes serious. I know some potent herbs." Mama Chi said righteously and with determination.

"There is nothing wrong with him down there." She informed her mother.

"How sure are you? Has he done something? I know you children today are very impatient when it comes to such things."

Chi Lian willed the ground to open up and swallow her right there and then.

"He hasn’t done anything." She said with red cheeks.

"Chi-Chi, I am very modern woman," Mama Chi praised herself. "You can talk to me about this stuff. And I saw that video of you both in the car."

"What are you whispering about?" Papa Chi swooped in like her savior and saved her from this embarrassing conversation.

"Women things, they don’t concern you." Mama Chi glared at the disrupter. Couldn’t he have waited a while between coming over.

"I said yes, okay, I said yes and that is what I wanted to tell you all." Chi Lian shouted and shut up at once.

"Cool, brother-in-law moves really fast." Chi Zimo said and went back to his phone.

"I don’t like it but it’s your decision." Chi Rui placed his hand on her head and rubbed her hair.

"Humph." Chi Wei turned away. "I will wait and observe first."

She remembered the other thing she intended to tell them.

"By the way his family has moved here to spend time with Mei-Mei so you are going to bump into them very soon."

"What! The in-laws are already here." Mama Chi blurted out what was on her mind.

The rest of her family looked at her unbelievingly. Why was she calling them in-laws? Did Chi Lian say she was marrying Jun Muyang and they didn’t hear it?

The men looked at Chi Lian questioningly and she shook her head. She was confused as well. Rather than explain, she just went to her room. She had passed on all the necessary information after all.

She took the medium sized buckets of cosmetics that T4 had stored in her storage and started moving them to smaller bottles. She hand labeled each with its purpose like whitening, moisturizing, and acne removal.

She did the same thing for the perfumes. Tomorrow, she would distribute them to her family and the talents Chi Rui had found for the entertainment company.

"You have a mission." T4 said to her.

"Huh." She switched to her virtual screen and saw the notice.

’As a paparazzo, you cannot just report on scandals, you should also report on injustices. In the mountains of D city, you must find the benevolent doctor and tell his story. You have two weeks to accomplish the mission. If you fail, you will lose access to the virtual storage for a month.’

"I guess I will be leaving for D city tomorrow." She thought. She spent the next two hours of her night making the necessary arrangements.
