Time flies, and a few days have passed in the blink of an eye. The wedding of Mu Shiye and Pei Anxin is scheduled for today. There are hundreds of banquets, full of guests and friends, and the whole Mu family is filled with joy.
Sure enough, the relationship between the parents has improved, and the atmosphere in the entire family has also improved a lot.
The day before the wedding, Lan Ruona bought a lot of gifts for Pei Anxin. The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law used to be a battle of contention. There were times when they disliked each other, but most of them , they all deliberately avoided it, out of sight and out of sight.
Now, they are truly becoming a family. Lan Ruona has regained the love of her husband. I don’t know if her menopausal condition has healed, but her whole way of looking at things has also changed. In the past, even small things would make her frown. Eyes, now, she looks like she does whatever she wants. As long as the person she loves the most cares about her, she doesn't have much time to care about the trivial matter of mung beans.
When Pei Anxin's future mother-in-law came to the door, Pei Anxin's expression changed, she gritted her teeth and walked down from the second floor.
Now that she has decided to be the daughter-in-law of the Mu family, Pei Anxin can no longer be an invisible person and must see her when she should.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything!" Mo Shiye followed her and said quietly.
Pei An admired him and rolled his eyes: "It's because of you, everything is because of you, you are fully responsible!"
Mo Shiye looked confused when he was scolded. In the end, he could only protest aggrievedly: "Okay, my fault, don't argue with my mother for a while, think about our wedding, think about our lovely daughter, and then think about me... "
Pei Anxin was speechless for this man. He really took himself seriously.
Downstairs, Lan Ruona was also a little restless. When she heard footsteps, she glanced in the direction of the stairs.
"Aunt..." Pei Anxin was still a junior after all, so when he saw her coming, he took the initiative to say hello.
"Hey!" Lan Ruona responded immediately and unnaturally, with an awkward smile on her face. If she had known what would happen, why did she do it in the first place
Sure enough, the most rare thing in this world is the regret medicine.
"Why are you still here at this late hour? Why don't you go to bed early?" Pei Anxin glanced at the gifts piled on the table and asked with a faint smile.
"I'm here... I want to talk to you!" Lan Ruona said. Seeing her son standing at the top of the stairs, looking nervously at this side, she immediately walked over and said to him: "Shiye, come up. Go upstairs and see the kids, I’ll have a chat with An Xin alone!”
"Mom, you can chat, but don't quarrel. We are getting married tomorrow." Mo Shiye quickly advised his mother.
"Don't worry, we won't argue anymore, and we won't argue anymore!" Lan Ruona knew her son's worries, and a flash of self-blame flashed through her heart.
Mu Shiye then glanced at Pei Anxin, turned around and walked upstairs.
Lan Ruona returned to the sofa and sat down, and Pei Anxin poured her a glass of hot water himself.
"An Xin, look... I came here suddenly today, but you are getting married tomorrow. After much thought, I still have to come and talk to you. I have done many wrong things in the past, and I want to tell you. I'm sorry, can you forgive me?" Lan Ruona was also a little unnatural. After all, she has always been proud, and it really doesn't suit her to bow her head and admit her mistakes.
Pei Anxin looked slightly startled after hearing her words. She couldn't believe it. The powerful mother-in-law in the future was actually apologizing to her
"I used to care too much about Menmei. This may have something to do with my background. I grew up in the royal family. All I knew and learned was that I was born noble and better than others. These perceptions hindered my thinking and made me I'm narrow-minded and selfish, but most of the time, I really don't mean to stab others on purpose. I'm just too stupid and straight-mouthed to speak. People always think I'm targeted. Alas, the more people get better As I get older, I suddenly understand the shortcomings of my character. I really don't know if it is a good thing." Lan Ruona lowered her head and held the cup. She didn't care whether Pei Anxin liked to hear it or not. There were some words that she always wanted to say. Find someone to talk to, because she often hates such an imperfect self, but she always strives for perfection in everything, contradicts herself, causes a lot of troubles and jokes, is self-righteous beforehand, and regrets afterwards, every time That's all.
Pei Anxin looked at her in shock. Is this still the Lan Ruona she knew
From the first time he saw her, he had a condescending aura and always looked at people out of the corner of his eye. Pei Anxin felt that she had no connection with this woman who might be her mother-in-law in the future, but now, She actually felt that she would change things if she knew she was wrong, but she was not so unkind.
"Aunt, why are you suddenly telling me this..." Pei Anxin was a little uneasy.
"I don't know, these words have always been buried in my heart and I don't want to say them to others. In front of my two children, I still have to maintain the image of a strict and wise mother. To outsiders, I have to pretend to be alive. She looks like a decent and elegant lady. I live with a mask every day. My husband was angry with me and left home. He never came back for several years. When you and Tokoye first got together, those days It is also the most painful thing for me. I have a bad relationship with my husband, which makes my personality become extremely cold and annoying. I can’t stand others showing affection in front of me, so I brought you home to play with you that night. Did my bad attitude scare you?" Lan Ruona recalled the time when she first met Pei Anxin. At that time, her marriage was unsatisfactory, she was full of hostility, and it was indeed difficult to get along with her.
"Isn't it all over? I didn't take it to heart!" Pei Anxin laughed twice, but in fact she had let it go in her heart for several years and had always been prejudiced against Lan Ruona.
"No matter what, if Shiye likes you, you have merits. Otherwise, my son wouldn't want to have so many well-matched people around him, so he just fell in love with you. It means that you two are destined. This reminds me of I met his father back then. His father was an honest scientist who loved to delve into research projects all day long. I was a classmate of the same school as him at that time, not in the same class, but I often went to see him secretly. Seeing the way he was serious about his work, I was very fond of him. Because it was my own love, I didn’t pay attention to any fawning, so I just wanted to marry him. Later, when we really got married, I realized that he He turned out to be a young master from a wealthy family, but he didn’t like the family business and only focused on the research work he loved. But I hoped that my husband would be a dragon. As soon as I got married, I gave birth to a daughter and used the child’s future to force me. He inherited the family business. During those days, I thought I was very happy. I had such an outstanding husband and was about to have a second child, but he was unhappy. His explosion happened when my daughter was 20 years old. On my birthday, he suddenly threw all his dissatisfaction and resentment at me. Then he moved out and left his family career alone. At that time, I was a woman with two grown-up children, facing those in the company. I was at a loss with the tedious affairs. Fortunately, Xiaolin was very capable and took over everything in the company. Only then did we have the stable life we have today. My daughter is also a treasure and can hold up half the sky. I believe in my granddaughter Xiao Chengcheng. She will definitely be a brave and strong good child in the future!" Lan Ruona recalled the past, but her tears kept falling. At this moment, she seemed to have recalled half of her life, and each scene was always deeply touched. Hidden in my heart, lingering.
This was the first time Pei Anxin heard such a complete history of the Mu family, and she was shocked.
"When people get old, they love to reminisce. Unknowingly, they talked so much nonsense. An Xin, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just don't know each other anymore. I hope we can get along well in the future. I don't want to break up this family again. Yes, I made a mistake, and I will correct it. You also made a mistake, and you will correct it too. Our goal is the same, to make this family a better place. I will keep my mouth shut about your little couple’s affairs and won’t say any more. As for If you are willing to be friends with me, I will force you!"
"I do!" Pei Anxin said anxiously, with tears in her eyes, and she was moved: "Of course I do, this is what I have always expected."
"Really?" Lan Ruona couldn't help crying and laughing.
"It's true. Even if you don't come to me today, I will come to you tomorrow to ask for peace." Pei Anxin said with a chuckle.
