Chapter 1126: Not Up To You

While Raelle and Shui Xian were enjoying their bath, there was a lot happening outside. The first incident to mention would be how Mu Chenyan dragged Xiang Weimin to a room where everyone from the family was present apart from Raelle.          

    

There was Grandfather Xiang, Xiang Hulin, Xiang Wai, and even Song Xin'ai. Since it involved her son, she was also called over to talk about it.     

"What's going on here?" asked Xiang Weimin. "Are we having some secret meeting?"     

"Stand right there," said Mu Chenyan as she made him stand in front of all of them as if he was on trial. In fact, he was yet to know that this was really a trial. He was in trouble. He was in big trouble right now and if he answered a single question wrongly, he'd be convicted too!     

Xiang Weimin looked at the unfriendly gazes of his family members and felt like he was under a lot of pressure right now. How to deal with it though? He wasn't sure.     

He was already a bit reluctant and sad when he said goodbye to Justin but who knew, right after, his aunt would get hold of him and would bring him here? Is it okay to not even let him be sad for a moment?     

"You should be ashamed of yourself," started Xiang Hulin.     

"Hulin," called out Grandfather Xiang. "There is no need for you to start." Then he looked at Mu Chenyan, "You, start!"     

Mu Chenyan cleared her throat and started, "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, today we gather here to seek justice in the case of Family versus Xiang Weimin. The evidence presented to you shows that Lieutenant Colonel Xiang Weimin is blind."     

Xiang Wai pursed her lips trying hard to suppress her laughter. She didn't think her aunt would pull this move. This was so unexpected. But also very entertaining. She just had to be a witness to this historic scene. Where else would she get a chance to see her brother standing on trial against the whole family?     

"The defendant knowingly or unknowingly left the seed of our Xiang family to wander around in this world without a home and a family."     

Xiang Weimin raised his hand, "Excuse me! But what are we really doing?"     

"Objection overruled!"      

Grandfather Xiang almost facepalmed himself at Mu Chenyan's drama, "Chenyan, get to the point."

"But I was just starting to have fun," said Mu Chenyan but still stopped her antics and looked at Xiang Weimin. "Dear nephew, did you have a relationship with a woman over the years?"     

Xiang Weimin frowned and said, "Aunt, I told you I never dated anyone."     

"Dating someone is different. I said have you had a physical relationship with anyone?"     

"I answered that to you before as well. It was just one night with one woman. I don't know who she even really was except that she told me her name was Jennie."     

"I know you said it all. But the family didn't hear it. They should also hear your point of you. Unless you're in a hurry to get a beating."     

Xiang Weimin coughed, "Then ask. I'll just answer everything you ask."     

"How did you have that relationship with that woman named Jennie?"     

"I was sent to join the rescue team during the flood. That's where I got injured while saving a pregnant woman. Because of the injury, I was temporarily sent to the health center. That's where I first time met her. You can say we had a good conversation since she was very patient with everyone and had a sweet smile giving everyone hope in that cloudy weather. Over the days, we talked a few times and it was considered a pleasant time. On the night their volunteer team was about to leave, we had a bonfire and well, one thing led to another and we ended up sleeping together. Anything else?"     

He really didn't think one day at the age of 30, he'd have to stand before his whole family to give details about his relationship with a woman. A very brief relationship and a relationship he didn't really want to think about.     

Everyone in the room shared a look before Song Xin'ai asked, "What happened after that? You never met her again?"     

"No," answered Xiang Weimi unnaturally.      

"You didn't look for her?"         

    

"Why should I?" he asked.      

"So, you are really that irresponsible? You slept with someone and then ran away?" asked Xiang Hulin.     

Xiang Weimin his father a look, "Em... Technically, she was the one who left the next day. It has nothing to do with me."     

"But you still let her go."     

"Why should I stop her? We didn't have such good feelings."     

"But you slept with her!"     

"Dad, what age are you living in?"     

Grandfather Xiang raised his hand to stop his son again. Then he asked himself, "From what I know about you, there must be a reason why you didn't look for her. My dear grandson, why don't you tell me the reason?"     

Xiang Weimin closed his eyes, not knowing how he gave himself away. Tsk. Really, old ginger was spicier. He could hide from everyone except for his grandfather.      

"Do we have to have this conversation?"     

"Unless you don't want your son, we do have to have this conversation."     

Xiang Weimin stiffened, "What? What son? I don't have a son."     

"But you do, my dear nephew," said Mu Chenyan. "You don't only have a son. Your son is old enough to go and buy soy sauce. And calculating the dates and all, it happened during the time you were on the rescue mission. Not only that, but the DNA also matches."     

"Did she come to look for you guys with a son?"     

"No," replied Mu Chenyan while everyone else shook their heads.     

"What's going on?"     

"Why don't you start first? We'll explain later."

"The reason why I didn't look for her was... Actually, after coming from there. I once came to see Mom and did see her one last time. But she told me that she only got close to me because of my maternal family's orders. They wanted to send a woman by my side to control me. It was my maternal aunt -in-law's order. Well, whatever it was, it only disgusted me. So, I didn't bother to pay attention to her again."     

"You didn't even question what she said?"     

"I knew she was lying," replied Xiang Weimin. "No. Not exactly. She wasn't lying completely either. Mom, your sister-in-law indeed found someone for me. It wasn't a day or two that she was up to such means. I don't know how she knew about it but I know she wasn't the one your sister-in-law looked for. She lied to me clearly because she wanted to keep a distance from me. So, why should I look for her again?"     

"So, she didn't tell you she was pregnant?"     

"Nope," answered Xiang Weimin. Then he looked at all the faces of his family around him and said, "Do you all have such little faith in me? Am I really so irresponsible in your eyes that I won't even take responsibility for my own child? But to do that, I have to know something, no? Or else, I am not a clairvoyant."     

Everyone looked away one by one.     

"You all hurt me. I want to go and find my little sister," said Xiang Weimin. "There is no way, Raelle would be one of your guys and hurt me like this."     

"Stop playing the act of being pitiful. It's not up to you right now," said Xiang Hulin. "This is a serious matter. No matter how much we trust you, we still have to know. After all, it's our family's child who has been wandering out there for so long."         

    

"Who is my son?" asked Xiang Weimin. "Hm?" When he didn't hear the answer, he suddenly thought of a face, "Oh, it's Justin. Isn't it? That explains the intimacy. That explains everything." Then he frowned to himself, "But his mother isn't..."     

"Why is your brain active all of a sudden?" asked Xiang Wai. "I thought you were blind until now."     

"I'm not blind," answered Xiang Weimin. "Even if I could see the similarity, I thought it was just similarity. How could I link him to myself so inexplicably? You all linked him to me because you all didn't trust me at all. In your hearts, I was just that kind of a bastard. Tsk. I'm so disappointed."     

Xiang Wai coughed, "But Ge, you can't blame us, okay?"     

"I can and I will," answered Xiang Weimin. "Can I sit down now? I have to digest this news?"     

"You look way too calm already, Ge," Xiang Wai pointed out.     

"Or else? Should I jump? I'm so old. Why should I be overreacting now?"     

"Indeed, you're the one who is level-headed. You are good, Ge!"     

Xiang Weimin sat down and rubbed his forehead, "You didn't tell me yet. What happened to Justin's mother?"     

"She is no more," answered Mu Chenyan. "The information I found is exactly the same as you told me. Nothing more, nothing less. And that's the weirdest part, I didn't find anything extra about this woman whom you knew as Jennie and your mother knew as Chi Xirui."
