Chapter 677: Skeletons and closets

After the gala, five short interviews with different reporters and multiple photographs, Chi Lian and Muyang returned home. The old master and madam had arrived ahead of them and they were enthusiastically discussing Yan Feng’s theft openly.

Muyang went straight up to the bedroom to change and go to the university while Chi Lian briefly stopped by the living room to check on the children. Neither one of them was there.

She was pulled to sit down on the sofa by the old madam who seemed to have many questions.

"Chi-Chi, it must be a relief to know that the lotus blessing is going to be returned you after two weeks of viewing. I remember how we all gathered at your parent’s house after the attack that night pondering on the reason for the attack. How could it have been related to the Yan’s?" she asked, very bewildered at the ugly truth.

"Does anything about them surprise us anymore?" the old mater asked. "Just look at all the things we have discovered about them. I understand that all families have secrets in their closets but this closet is too deep."

"And we have not even touched the bottom." Chi Lian thought.

"What makes me even more furious is the fact that Yan Daya stabbed my Muyang in the eye?" the old madam touched her heart and shook her head in pained disbelief.

"Grandmother, you know!!" Chi Lian was surprised and she looked at the old master.

This was supposed to be a secret kept away from the rest of the family, or so she was told.

The old madam noticed her confusion and explained, "I saw the footage on Muyang’s laptop when he left it out yesterday. The glass shattered when the plane was descending and Yan Daya tried to open Muyang’s parachute but when she failed, she secretly grabbed a glass and stabbed him in the eye when they hit the water. It’s obvious that she intended to kill him, that crazy stalker harlot of a bitch. I am so glad that she is now an invalid, and she is so lucky that she was moved before I got my hands on her otherwise I would cut her legs and arms off too. What happened to her is karma, the universe paid her in kind."

Chi Lian tilted her body downward to the right and looked at the old master.

He shook his head and she understood, the old madam had not been informed that Chi Lian had been the one to take Yan Daya’s sight.

"Hello universe, nice to meet you." T4 said.

"Is that my new name?" she responded.

"She called you that, not me." T4 answered.

Chi Lian looked around and asked the old madam, "Where are the children?"

"I signed the children up for music lessons, I thought that since Mei-Mei was taking dancing lessons then piano might be fun." The old madam explained. "If she doesn’t enjoy it I will cancel them immediately."

"Alright," Chi Lian nodded. "I have to go to the office grandma, we are preparing to launch the Phoenix daily, our newspaper."

The old madam let go of Chi Lian’s hands and let her go. "You must be very busy dear, but I have been holding you up with my silly chatter. Tell me what you want for dinner tonight and I will prepare it. Don’t worry about the children as well, we are going to the music class right now, Qi Qing and Spider have been keeping an eye on them."

"Alright grandma, thank you." She stood up and waved at the elders. "I will see you tonight, bye-bye."

She saw Muyang coming down just as she was heading out.

"Should I give you ride?" he asked her.

He even held out his hand to escort her outside.

She smiled and took his hand. "Sure, how can I say no to such a handsome man."

He laughed and held her hand tightly, as he looked over her carefully. She was still dressed in her black gown and heels, looking like she was heading to a party.

"Aren’t you going to change out of your gown?" he asked her.

She shook her head, and twisted her hips slowly. "Why mess with perfection."

He gave her an appreciative look, and licked his lips playfully.

She laughed and pushed his shoulder slightly, "What was that?"

"Me, admiring perfection." he answered.

She closed her eyes, crinkled her nose and said playfully, "Aah, you perverted professor."

When they settled into the car he said, "I am aged ginger, perverted professor, the old cow that ate tender grass, you just keep giving me wonderful names my darling."

"You can give me names too," she snuggled into his chest and looked up at him to add, "If you wish."

"Wife, baby, honey, shepherd all those are enough for me." he laughed when he mentioned shepherd.

She pouted and poked him in the stomach.

"Maybe I should add Mary, the one who had a little lamb." he suggested.

She laughed despite trying hard to stifle the laugh.

"Have you ever heard about the dog house?" she asked him.

Muyang chuckled, looked down and pecked her on the head.

"Tch." she said, bashfully.

Then, she settled down against his chest, and closed her eyes, ignoring the fact he was softly humming, Mary had a little lamb. It would go away soon, just as baa black sheep had done.

As she dozed off, Muyang gently brushed her hair while he went through documents that had been forwarded to him by Wenzhe. There was a lot of work to pack into these few weeks before the camp event which coincided with the children’s birthday. This would lead into the mid autumn moon festival and school would break off for a while.

When he looked down, she was sleeping comfortably, completely gone and he felt slightly guilty about waking her up because they had arrived at the phoenix building.

Still, it was inevitable that he wake her up.

She did so reluctantly, and then kissed on the cheek before waving goodbye and slowly walking into the building. There was much to prepare and the day the phoenix daily went on market, it would be the most recent newspaper in the empire.
