As I walked along, I saw servants and bodyguards everywhere I passed, stopping to say hello to Mu Nuannuan and Mu Tingxiao.
Even the curvature of the bends is the same, and they are lined up neatly, clearly well-trained.
Mu Nuannuan was secretly frightened, and her face became a little solemn.
The Mu family's old house was very large. The two of them passed by the front yard, walked through the hall and went to the backyard.
When Mr. Mu got older, he moved to the quiet backyard to live in peace.
Arriving at the door of Mr. Mu, Mu Tingxiao asked the servant guarding the door: "Grandpa is in there?"
"Yes." When the servant saw Mu Tingxiao, with a hint of joy on his face, he gently pushed the door open and said carefully: "Old sir, the young master is back."
The door was opened very small, just enough to accommodate the servant standing there. Mu Nuannuan could not see inside, and only heard a slightly older voice: "Let them in when they come."
The servant turned around and nodded slightly towards Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Tingxiao held Mu Nuannuan's hand tightly: "Let's go in."
Mu Nuannuan was led into the room by Mu Tingxiao.
The heating in the room is very strong, and there is a vague fragrance of ink and tea. The room is simply furnished, with a row of bookshelves, a desk, and some tea sets.
Mr. Mu was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, holding his problem in his hand, standing in front of the desk writing calligraphy. Although he was over seventy years old, he was energetic and stood upright, with an aura of calmness and calmness about his whole person.
Mu Tingxiao on the side shouted: "Grandpa."
Mr. Mu raised his head and met the eyes of Mu Nuannuan, who had been staring at him. He said nothing, but he was not angry or intimidating.
Mu Nuannuan lowered her eyes slightly, and Mu Tingxiao on the side silently pulled Mu Nuannuan behind her.
Mu Tingxiao's protective posture fell in the eyes of Mr. Mu, causing him to snort: "Who is this little girl?"
Mu Tingxiao raised his eyebrows: "The person you want to see."
His tone could be said to be a bit aggressive, which made Mr. Mu blow his beard and glare, throwing away the brush in his hand: "Who are you?"
Mu Nuannuan: "..."
Could it be that Mr. Mu has Alzheimer's disease
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Mr. Mu over there looked at her unexpectedly and said: "Who are you calling Alzheimer's?"
Mu Nuannuan was startled by his words.
Is it possible that people named Mu have the ability to read people's hearts
However, the way Mr. Mu stared at her was not so intimidating, but rather inexplicably friendly.
Mu Nuannuan smiled: "No, I just think grandpa is very energetic."
These words were very useful to Mr. Mu. He squinted at Mu Nuannuan for a few seconds and said, "Come here."
Mu Nuannuan turned her head and looked at Mu Tingxiao. Mu Tingxiao gave her a reassuring look, gave her a gentle push on the back, and motioned for her to come over.
Although the conversation between Mu Tingxiao and Mr. Mu just now was a bit inexplicable, she could also feel that Mu Tingxiao and Mr. Mu had a good relationship, and could even be said to be close.
Mu Nuannuan walked over obediently, straightened her expression, and said seriously: "Grandpa, I am Mu Tingxiao's wife, Mu Nuannuan."
Mr. Mu didn't speak immediately, but looked at her calmly. Mu Nuannuan felt a little uneasy when he looked at her.
Mr. Mu seemed to sense her uneasiness, a smile similar to that of a child who succeeded in playing a prank appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "Well, he looks quite handsome. Sit down."
Mu Nuannuan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Mu Tingxiao, but was glared at by Mr. Mu: "Look what that brat is doing, just sit down if I tell you!"
"..." Okay, she sits.
However, she actually felt very happy when she heard someone call Mu Tingxiao a "brat".
Mu Nuannuan sat down next to Mr. Mu.
Seeing this, Mu Tingxiao also came over and was about to sit down next to Mu Nuannuan, but Mr. Mu kicked Mu Tingxiao in the leg: "Who told you to sit down!"
Mr. Mu's kick was fast and steady, and the force was obviously not light.
Mu Nuannuan felt pain just looking at it, while Mu Tingxiao's eyebrows frowned slightly, obviously because of the pain.
"Grandpa..." Mu Tingxiao's tone was a little helpless: "It's the first time I bring your granddaughter-in-law home, can't you give me some face?"
"I give you face, who gives me face?" Mr. Mu was obviously angrier than him: "You figure it out for yourself. Do you still remember the last time you came back to the old house to see me?"
Mu Tingxiao fell silent after hearing this.
The room fell into a suffocating silence.
Mu Nuannuan vaguely understood the meaning of the conversation between Mu Tingxiao and Mr. Mu just now.
Mu Tingxiao suspected that the Mu family was involved in his mother's case, so he rejected the Mu family and refused to return to the Mu family.
Today was the first time that she was brought back to her old home by Mu Tingxiao. It was not her place to talk about these two grandsons.
Just at this moment, the door was pushed open again.
The person who came in was Mu Tingxiao's father, Mu Qingfeng.
Mu Qingfeng first called Mr. Mu: "Dad."
Then, he turned to look at Mu Tingxiao: "Someone called me before and said that Tingxiao was back. I still didn't believe it. Why didn't you tell me in advance when he came back? He will eat at home today and stay at home tonight. Well, your room is always being cleaned by maids, so you can live in it directly."
Mr. Mu immediately snorted: "Why leave him here! Let him get out!"
…
In the end, Mu Tingxiao and Mu Nuannuan stayed.
During the meal, several people sat at the huge dining table, with a row of servants guarding the sides, which made Mu Nuannuan very uncomfortable.
After dinner, Mu Qingfeng left beforehand. Mu Nuannuan and Mu Tingxiao accompanied Mr. Mu back to his room.
The servants were boiling water and delivering tea. Mr. Mu took out a red envelope and handed it to Mu Nuannuan.
Mu Nuannuan didn't take it immediately.
Mr. Mu stared at her: "What? You dare not accept the meeting gift my old man gave you?"
Mu Nuannuan finally knew where Mu Tingxiao inherited his arrogant and unruly temperament.
"Thank you, grandpa." After Mu Nuannuan took it, she felt that the red envelope was very thin. She guessed that it might be a check or something like that.
No matter what was inside, Mu Nuannuan felt a little surprised.
Before coming here, she always thought she would be embarrassed by the old man, but she didn't expect that Mr. Mu would accept her so easily.
After drinking tea with Mr. Mu for a while, Mu Nuannuan and Mu Tingxiao were sent back to the room to rest.
The room was where Mu Tingxiao lived when he was a boy. After what happened that year, he went abroad. When he came back, he didn't go back to his old house and lived directly in the villa halfway up the mountain.
The furnishings in the room still retain traces of the boy's life, including posters of basketball stars, robots, books, game consoles...
