Mu Tingxiao went to Mr. Mu's room.
The servant guarding the door bowed respectfully when he saw Mu Tingxiao and called: "Master."
Then, he helped Mu Tingxiao open the door.
As soon as Mu Tingxiao stepped in, the servant closed the door behind him.
Mr. Mu was still sitting on the sofa, with his head raised and leaning on the back of the sofa. There was an opera playing on the TV, and the sound was not loud.
When Mu Tingxiao came closer, he found that Mr. Mu had fallen asleep with his eyes lightly dozed.
Before Mu Tingxiao could say anything, Mr. Mu suddenly opened his eyes again, and his usually sharp eyes were cloudy for a moment.
He stared at Mu Tingxiao in front of him, his pupils tightening suddenly as if he was frightened.
But soon, his eyes returned to clarity.
"coming."
His voice was a little hoarse, but to Mu Tingxiao's ears, it seemed that the words were not meant for him.
Mu Tingxiao frowned and sat down opposite Mr. Mu, looking at Mr. Mu carefully.
He thought that when Mu Nuannuan went back, she was hesitant to talk to him. Now that he saw Mr. Mu like this, he finally understood why.
The main reason why he can be so arrogant in front of Mr. Mu and still tolerated by Mr. Mu is because the old man thinks that Mu Tingxiao looks like him, so he naturally loves him more and doesn't care about Mu Tingxiao's arrogance.
Mr. Mu has always been shrewd and wise, and will never show weakness in front of others easily.
Mu Tingxiao was used to Mr. Mu's paternalistic style, so he was a little surprised when he saw the obvious fatigue on Mr. Mu's face and the fragility of an old man.
Mu Tingxiao frowned even more and asked him directly: "What's wrong with you?"
He and Mr. Mu were dissatisfied with each other. They were said to be grandfather and grandson, but more often than not they were like two old friends who met each other in chess.
Although Mr. Mu asked him not to investigate his mother's affairs before, which made him a little alienated from Mr. Mu, he still cared about Mr. Mu in his heart.
There is certainly a reason why Mr. Mu would not let him investigate his mother's affairs, but it is definitely not because his mother's affairs are related to Mr. Mu.
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. After the New Year, I am one year older and live less and less. I just want to say a few more words to you." Mr. Mu looked at him with unclear emotions in his eyes.
Mr. Mu's tone made Mu Tingxiao a little irritated, and he said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly."
Mr. Mu did not change his face because of his tone. Instead, he smiled and said, "Among the younger generation of our Mu family, you and Xiao Chen are the most sincere and successful people. Being too sincere is not good."
"Nuan Nuan is young and her personality is completely different from yours. She is a good child, but as your wife, I think she is inappropriate..."
Seeing Mu Tingxiao raising his eyebrows and getting angry, Mr. Mu smiled and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you so anxious!"
Mu Tingxiao snorted and leaned back, waiting for him to continue.
"She is very patient. I let her watch the opera with me for an hour. She was not impatient. Her mind was straight and she was beautiful. When I was young, I would have been attracted to such a beautiful girl when I saw her."
The first half of the sentence was okay, but the second half sounded a little strange to Mu Tingxiao's ears.
Mu Tingxiao raised his eyebrows and said with a stern face: "Old man, please speak nicely."
Mr. Mu's brows jumped, and he slapped his hand on the sofa. He pointed at Mu Tingxiao and said, "You kid, I am your grandfather no matter what. When I hugged you when you were a child, you still kissed me." I didn't hit you even after you peed on your body. Now that you have a wife, you won't take me seriously? Do you have the ability to talk to her like this in front of Nuan Nuan? "
The old man's air of arrogance was much more pleasing to the eye.
Mu Tingxiao tilted his head and said calmly: "She is a little girl. Let's be careful. You are still competing with other girls at your age?"
Mr. Mu was so angry that he picked up the remote control on the coffee table in front of him and threw it towards Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Tingxiao couldn't avoid it and was hit by the remote control. He gasped in pain.
Mu Tingxiao pressed the spot where the remote control hit him: "You can't defeat me, so why don't you do it?"
However, Mr. Mu's face calmed down and he said in a cold and solemn tone that Mu Tingxiao had never heard before: "Tingxiao, An An has passed this year happily. If you want to know anything that I know clearly, I will tell you everything. "
It turned out that the old man had said so much, but what he wanted to say the most was this.
Mu Tingxiao froze there and didn't react for a long time.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and then Mu Tingxiao sat upright and found his voice: "Including my mother's matter?"
Mr. Mu nodded: "Yes, including your mother's matter."
Mu Tingxiao understands his character of being true to his word best, and knows that since Mr. Mu has made a promise, he will not go back on it.
He pursed his lips and responded solemnly: "Okay."
…
When I came out of Mr. Mu's place, it was already eleven o'clock, and the night was already deep.
The wall lamps in the corridor were turned on and the lights were dim. From time to time, servants would pass by and call him in a low voice.
"Master."
"Um."
Mu Tingxiao walked forward step by step, very slowly.
He was certain that his grandfather was not involved in what happened to his mother back then, but he might know something.
And what grandpa knew was most likely found out after the kidnapping occurred.
The first time he took Mu Nuannuan back to his old house, his grandfather ordered him not to investigate his mother's affairs again.
Since grandpa is not a participant, there is only one reason why he stopped Mu Tingxiao from investigating his mother...
Grandpa was afraid that he would find out the truth.
The truth may be a secret that cannot be told.
Maybe it's a secret that no one can know.
To put it more specifically, the truth of the matter is so heavy that even people like my grandfather, who have seen great storms in the cunning shopping mall, cannot bear it.
But now, grandpa is willing to tell him the truth.
So what stimulated Grandpa
When Mu Tingxiao came back to his senses, he found that he had reached the door of the room.
"Master, are you still awake?"
Another servant passed by.
Mu Tingxiao looked back at the servant.
There are many people in the Mu family, and there are also many servants.
But what does so many people have to do with him
Turning around, he looked at the door in front of him.
Only the woman in this room gave him a real sense of security.
He pushed the door open and Mu Nuannuan came over immediately.
"How is it? What did grandpa tell you? Do you also think he is weird?"
Apparently she had been waiting for him to come back, so she kept asking him questions as soon as he entered the door.
Mu Tingxiao just walked into the room without saying a word.
Mu Nuannuan looked up to see his expression, and found that he had gone to Mr. Mu's room and came back a little strange.
