Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1421: What's Wrong With Greed?



"How did the direction of the wind change so suddenly?" inquired Xiang Wai to Hyson.

"The wind has a specialty of changing directions whenever it wants to. Who can stop the wind? No one can!"

Xiang Wai made a fist, wanting to punch this guy, and then sighed, "I also want to go on a cruise."

"Then go."

"I can't. I have to join the Academy after getting back. I won't have time for this once I start the work."

"Poor you," said Hyson.

"You are no better," shot back Xiang Wai which Hyson couldn't refute.

On the other hand, Raelle was actually happy to see that Shui Koshing was finally willing to go out of the house and find activities for himself. Traveling was good. A cruise was even better. And since so many people were going together, she'd have no worry.

"Then have fun," said Raelle. "Bà, don't forget to take lots of pictures and post them on your weChat Moments. I'd check it and give you a like."

Shui Koshing chuckled softly at her words and agreed. "Okay. I'll do that. But you also have to do the same. Take lots of pictures during your honeymoon and don't forget to share them on Moments. I'll also give you a like."

"I'll leave a comment along with a like," added Hyson. "But you first have to make sure to post something. I'll be reminding you every day."

"You better not," said Raelle.

"No, I have to do it."

Raelle glared at Hyson and he didn't it seriously like others at all.

Father Xiang looked at Song Xin'ai and then sighed to himself. He wouldn't say that he wasn't envious of the scene in front of him but he couldn't do anything about it. He had even started to get used to the uncomfortable feeling in his heart whenever he saw Raelle being so close to Shui Koshing. Her father-in-law was better than her own father.

But he was the one to blame for it so there was no need to dwell on it.

"Are you blaming me?" questioned Song Xin'ai.

"What?"

"That you can't have such a close relationship with your daughter. Do you blame me for that?"

Father Xiang shook his head at her, "There is no such thing. I have no reason to blame you. The blame lies with me. But blaming you or me won't change our situation. We both are people who have responsibilities that seemed to be bigger than just our family. Maybe we weren't born to have this kind of love."

"When did you become so sensible?"

"I'm getting old now. I can't keep avoiding something. At this point, I am just glad that I managed to see my daughter before I took my last breath. The last time I was in the hospital, my only regret was that I wasn't able to see Raelle. But now, I seem to have no regrets. She doesn't completely reject my existence. She even invited me to her wedding. This is already like a dream to me. If I asked for any more, I'd be called greedy."

Song Xin'ai didn't expect to hear such heartfelt thoughts from him at this moment but all those thoughts did resonate with her own. Indeed, she also didn't expect that one day, she'd be able to stand so close to her daughter. They weren't like complete strangers and Raelle even came to bring her wedding invitation personally.

"You are right. You and I have no right to be greedy in this life. We should be content with what we managed to get," sighed Song Xin'ai with a content smile on her face. "Anyway, our daughter grew up better without us. She found the perfect life partner too. What more can we ask for as long as she is happy with her life?"

"But what is wrong with greed?"

Both Father Xiang and Song Xin'ai were stunned when they heard this voice and turned their heads. Facing Raelle, they didn't react for a moment and were tongue-tied.

Raelle looked at their expressions and asked again, "I asked, what is wrong with being greedy? When you are content with what you have, life can become rather uninspiring and uneventful. Then why not be a little greedy? The poor are greedy for riches and the rich are greedy for power. The sick is greedy for health and the healthy is greedy for a long life. Sometimes, greed isn't all that bad either. It's the greed to live that often brings people back to life from the brink of death."

Father Xiang and Song Xin'ai looked at each other but didn't understand what she was trying to get at by telling them this.

"You both need to learn to be a little greedy. Not for anyone else but yourselves," added Raelle. "I'm very thankful for you both to come here and join my wedding. But it's also true that I didn't really need you here. Let's face it, your children have grown up now. They have already found their directions in life. Weimin Ge has Justin and Wai has Zhai Yanjun. They'll eventually be busy with their own lives. What are you both planning on doing? Aren't you both retiring soon? What? Do you want to spend the rest of your lives working too for this country? When are you gonna focus on yourselves? Don't you have a life?"

Raelle had a look of realization, "Oh, I almost forgot. You really don't have a life of your own. They say, your happy memories flash before your eyes when you die. What are you both gonna take from this world when you have never even lived for yourselves?" She sighed, "Not that it concerns me, but I'd suggest you to really start being a little greedy. For yourselves. You children might not need you at this age but they don't want you gone either." She turned to leave but stopped, "Right, I came to remind you that the lunch is served. I wasn't eavesdropping on purpose."

Raelle strode toward the dining hall without looking back. She didn't know why she said so much all of a sudden. She also didn't know if she felt bad listening to the two of them just now. Anyway, it was truly her heartfelt wish that her parents would start living their lives for themselves even if it was so late now.
