Chapter 994: Chapter 996 Development Outward (6) Chapter 994: Chapter 996 Development Outward (6) How should I put this, she watched as Cai Yiren’s mother seemed to be talking to her uncle, the two of them standing quite close to each other, so near that their proximity could be described as “within arm’s reach”. It looked like they had reached a particularly urgent part of their conversation, as Cai Yiren’s mother was anxiously crying.
Here comes the drama!
Her uncle took a handkerchief from his pocket, but rather than handing it to Cai Yiren’s mother, he stepped in and wiped away her tears himself.
Such an act would generally be reserved for lovers, spouses, or parent and child; even siblings behaving this way would seem excessively intimate, let alone cousins. And by Cai Yiren’s mother’s account, this uncle was merely a distant relative, possibly beyond the scope of five degrees of kindred, reflecting an even more distant cousin relationship.
Was such behavior appropriate?
Although afterwards, other than wiping away her tears, they engaged in no further intimate actions, this gesture alone was enough to captivate onlookers.
Thinking back on it now, when Cai Yiren’s mother came to their house, she was a single mother. She came to work alone first, and then, when the situation became a bit more stable, she brought Cai Yiren over. Many years later, this uncle arrived in Yan City. And based on the few encounters they had had in the past, she noted that Cai Yiren’s mother was rather cold towards him at first, even after joining the Bai Family, their relationship remained quite distant. It was said that this uncle started off as an insignificant thug, his demeanor rough around the edges.
To outsiders, they were just ordinary, distant relatives. Later it was heard that he joined the Bai Family, though initially in a position not too high-ranking. It was probably these five years abroad that allowed him to steadily climb the ranks from the bottom.
Although she wasn’t clear about the current state of the Bai Family, it seemed that this uncle was held in high regard. Previously, when Bai Weiyi cried and made a fuss, Cai Yiren’s mother even comforted him, suggesting that the uncle would take him out to play. Cai Yiren seemed to trust this uncle quite a bit as well.
Cai Yiren’s mother had been working in the Bai Family for a long time, as Bai Changyou’s right-hand, and even after being promoted from secretary to Madam Bai, she took some time off to give birth to a child. She was no longer in charge of the major projects, but she still had to go to work. What was she and her uncle doing in the hospital at this time?
I always had the feeling that there might be something requiring special attention.
