Sitting in the car, Mu Nuannuan turned her head to look at Mu Tingxiao from time to time.
Mu Tingxiao looked straight ahead and focused on driving, but as if there were eyes on his head, he suddenly asked her: "Why are you looking at me?"
"No..." Mu Nuannuan turned around hurriedly.
She felt that Mu Tingxiao was a really powerful person.
After Mr. Mu returns to China, the Mu family may call Mu Nuannuan to go back for dinner and meet, but it may not necessarily be at noon today, and even if they guessed it, shouldn't they make a phone call to confirm
Mu Tingxiao came directly, which showed that he had no such suspicion at all, and he did not think that his guess would be wrong at all.
He is a very confident person.
…
The two arrived at Mu's house soon.
As soon as the servants guarding the door saw Mu Nuannuan, they all bowed respectfully and said hello: "Miss Third."
Mu Nuannuan led Mu Tingxiao directly inside.
There was no one in the hall, but there were voices in the kitchen.
"Nuan Nuan! You are back!"
Xiao Chuhe walked out of the kitchen. When she saw Mu Nuannuan, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.
Mu Nuannuan called out calmly: "Mom."
After Xiao Chuhe walked in, his whole expression changed when he saw Mu Tingxiao standing behind Mu Nuannuan.
She glanced at Mu Tingxiao, and pulled Mu Nuannuan forcefully aside: "Nuannuan, why did you bring him back? Aren't you fooling around! You and him..."
Xiao Chuhe seemed to find the following words a bit difficult to say. He paused and said, "Even if you have an unusual relationship with him, you wouldn't bring him home so unscrupulously! This makes Mu Tingxiao know what to do!"
What should Mu Tingxiao do if he finds out
I don’t know, it’s just what he wanted to do.
"What can we do? Just know it if you know it!" Mu Nuannuan looked indifferent.
Xiao Chuhe still thinks that Mu Tingxiao is "Mu Jiachen", and Mu Nuannuan brought him back with her, so she naturally thinks that Mu Nuannuan and "Mu Jiachen" have an improper relationship.
However, Xiao Chuhe's attitude was obviously different from before.
In the past, every time she saw Mu Nuannuan and "Mu Jiachen" together, she would scold her. This time, although there was some disapproval in her tone, she was just worried that Mu Tingxiao would find out.
This change in attitude is really intriguing.
Mu Nuannuan didn't want to get entangled with Xiao Chuhe on this issue, and asked directly: "Where is grandpa?"
Both she and Mu Tingxiao wanted to see Mr. Mu.
"It's in the study room upstairs. I'll take you up." Xiao Chuhe said and walked upstairs.
After walking two steps, she turned around and saw "Mu Jiachen" still following Mu Nuannuan, her expression changed slightly: "Nuannuan, you..."
Mu Nuannuan seemed not to notice what Xiao Chuhe was thinking, and asked knowingly: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Chuhe said with rare stubbornness: "Mr. Mu, please stay in the living room to drink tea. Nuan Nuan just went up to see her grandpa and will come down soon."
"It's okay, I'll go up with her." Mu Tingxiao said calmly.
Then he stretched out his hand to pull Mu Nuannuan and walked directly upstairs.
The Mu family's house was built by Mr. Mu on land he bought in the early years. The house is relatively large and has many rooms on the second floor.
Mu Tingxiao asked her: "Which is your grandfather's study?"
Although Mr. Mu has lived abroad for many years, he has always kept his study in the Mu family. Every once in a while, a servant will clean it.
"This is it."
Mu Nuannuan took Mu Tingxiao to the door of Mr. Mu's study. She and Mu Tingxiao looked at each other and then reached out to knock on the door.
An old but powerful voice soon came from the room: "Come in."
Mu Nuannuan pushed the door open and saw Mr. Mu standing in front of the bookshelf, flipping through a book in his hand.
Mr. Mu's name is Mu Zhengxiu, and he was one of the first people to do business in the sea in the last century.
He has courage and knowledge, but he really has no business acumen.
It can be seen that he has taken good care of himself over the years. Although his hair has become thinning, it is neatly combed. He wears a pair of reading glasses, a dressy shirt and a vest. The whole person looks as elegant as Old university professor.
Mu Nuannuan had basically no impression of Mu Zhengxiu. Looking at him standing in front of her, she finally had some three-dimensional awareness of this "grandpa" in her mind.
She yelled: "Grandpa."
Hearing her voice, Mu Zhengxiu raised his head to look at her.
Although he is over seventy years old, his eyes are still very sharp.
He looked at Mu Nuannuan with a strange look at first, then seemed to think for a moment and said aloud: "Is it the third child? Nuannuan?"
This "Lao San" sounds inexplicably kind.
Mu Nuannuan nodded: "Grandpa, it's me."
"You were only this big when I left." Mu Zhengxiu said, reaching the height of the desk: "In the blink of an eye, you were already this big."
He walked around the desk and walked towards Mu Nuannuan, his tone was quite emotional.
Only then did he notice Mu Tingxiao standing behind Mu Nuannuan.
Mu Zhengxiu's pupils shrank sharply and his expression changed slightly.
Mu Tingxiao took a step forward and stood closer to Mu Zhengxiu, so that Mu Zhengxiu could see his face more clearly, and said quietly: "Mr. Mu, long time no see."
Mu Zhengxiu's expression changed several times, but finally calmed down, and he asked uncertainly: "Are you... Mu Tingxiao?"
"It's me." Mu Tingxiao raised his lips, but there was no smile on his face.
The atmosphere in the room became tense for a moment.
Mu Nuannuan did not expect that Mu Zhengxiu would actually know Mu Tingxiao.
"you… "
Mu Zhengxiu was about to say something when a servant's voice suddenly came from outside: "Old sir, it's time to eat."
"Let's go eat first." Mu Zhengxiu glanced at Mu Tingxiao again, turned around and walked out the door.
Mu Nuannuan glanced at Mu Tingxiao, walked behind him, and asked him, "Have you and my grandfather met before? Does he still know you?"
Mu Tingxiao did not deny it, but answered simply: "Yes."
…
When Mu Nuannuan and others arrived at the restaurant, the other three members of the Mu family were already seated at the dining table.
When Mu Wanqi saw that Mu Nuannuan brought "Mu Jiachen" back to Mu's house in such a big way, she sneered coldly and said, "Nuan Nuan, our family is having dinner today, why are you bringing an outsider back?"
Although "Mu Jiachen" is good-looking, he has never called her. Now she has fallen in love with Si Chengyu and feels that Si Chengyu has a higher status than "Mu Jiachen", so naturally she is too lazy to call her. "Mu Jiachen" saw it in his eyes.
Before Mu Nuannuan could say anything, Mu Zhengxiu raised his head and glanced at Mu Wanqi coldly.
Although Mu Zhengxiu also loves Mu Wanqi and his two siblings, he does not pamper them as mindlessly as Mu Liyan. He is relatively strict.
Mu Wanqi was also a little afraid of him, so she quickly lowered her head and stopped making any sound.
