Pushing open the window, a gust of wind carried the woman's voice: "Yes, Ober called the wrong person. There is no Mrs. Mo here."
…
Ji Nuan sat in the front hall for a while, chatting with Ober about home affairs from time to time. In the meantime, he saw Mo Peilin walking through the back door and looked at her. Mo Peilin obviously didn't expect that she would meet again after a few years. He would see Ji Nuan at Mo's house. His eyes would glance at her, and his face would turn into a deep expression for no apparent reason before he turned around and left.
"Why is my cousin here?"
Ji Nuan remembered that the old man had said that he had driven away all the relatives who wanted to be related to the Mo family in a rage. Logically speaking, among those who were driven away, cousin Mo Peilin would definitely bear the brunt. , but now I actually see her in the Mo family
Ober shook his head and sighed: "You don't know, she and her daughter Mo Jiaxue have been with the Mo family for a while. The old man is getting older, and his body is still not as strong as it was in previous years. He doesn't have a daughter either. , there is always a need for a careful person to take care of you. Hey, this was two years ago. Mo Jiaxue married a bank clerk. She thought she would be rich and powerful, but it turned out that the man spent all day drinking and drinking, and the woman A lot of them, but in the end they ended up getting divorced. Jiaxue, she went the same way as her mother, getting divorced not long after getting married. Fortunately, she was not pregnant, so she would not have to raise a child like her mother. I have spent more than twenty years alone like this."
"Now the mother and daughter are helpless. Mo Peilin has not been able to find a good supporter even though he is old. Jiaxue is only twenty-seven years old, but after all, whoever he finds will be a second marriage, so it is difficult to find one. . Both mother and daughter are arrogant people, and it’s not that easy to find someone they like. When the old man sees them staying at Mo’s house all day long, he also knows that they have nowhere to go, so he sees them as pitiful. , in the end, I still felt compassion, and for the sake of these old friendships, I didn’t drive them away and let them stay.”
Ji Nuan nodded clearly: "Grandpa Mo doesn't have a daughter, so it's a good thing to have a cousin and niece around to take care of him now."
Ober smiled: "Although the old man is getting older, he still hasn't gotten rid of his soft-hearted problem. We see that Mo Peilin and Mo Jiaxue, mother and daughter, have been doing their job here in the past two years, so let's let them go like this. They live."
Is it your duty
Ji Nuan remembered that when she suddenly saw Mo Peilin, her cousin's peaceful eyes suddenly seemed to have thorns in her eyes. She felt like she was facing a formidable enemy, as if Ji Nuan's sudden appearance here would occupy her. It's like a territory.
Everyone in the Mo family should know about the divorce between Ji Nuan and Mo Jingshen. She just came back to see Grandpa Mo. Mo Peilin's expression just now showed that she didn't mean much at all.
…
Two hours later, it was already 5:30 in the evening, it was dinner time, and dinner was being prepared in the kitchen.
Mr. Mo had also woken up. After hearing that Ji Nuan had come to the Mo family, he got out of bed excitedly. He was also afraid that the smell of medicine would be too strong on his bedridden old man, so he changed his clothes before going to the front hall. .
The door of the front hall was opened by Ober, and a clear and stern man pushed the old man in the wheelchair in. The man behind the wheelchair was dignified and indifferent, and his deep and dark eyes were like two bottomless pools of ink.
"Ji Yatou, Ji Yatou is here, right?"
As soon as Ji Nuan heard the voice, she stood up suddenly, avoiding the man's sight as if deliberately. In a blink of an eye, she saw Mr. Mo first, and even saw that the old man was sitting in a wheelchair. At that time, his nose felt sore, and he felt uncomfortable. Smiling: "Grandpa Mo."
Mr. Mo didn't care whether Ji Nuan called her grandpa or grandpa Mo. He just stared at her with a smile. He was sitting in an automatic wheelchair with buttons. After being pushed into the front hall by Mo Jingshen, he could move on the ground independently. Walking up, he pressed the button and approached Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan was afraid that the old man and the wheelchair would hit the corner of the table and chair in the front hall, so he hurried forward and held down the armrest of the wheelchair. Then he leaned over to the old man and said, "Grandpa Mo, I'm here." Well, don’t worry, here are all kinds of sandalwood tables and chairs that you like, but they are so strong that even touching the corners of the tables will hurt, so be careful.”
As she said that, she pushed the old man's wheelchair directly to the front where there were fewer tables and chairs. However, the old man was in a very good mood and couldn't restrain his excitement. He took her hand and put it in the palm of his hand. The other hand was in the palm of his hand. She clapped her hands and said with emotion: "You kid, you have been away for three years. Do you really think that I can live that long and run away from home for so many years casually?"
This good divorce was described as running away from home, as if Ji Nuan had never really left this home.
As expected, the old man still has his heart.
Ji Nuan smiled softly: "Grandpa Mo, don't say three years. It's very common for centenarians to live now. It won't be a problem for you to live another thirty years."
"Hmph, you are the only girl who can talk. If I live another thirty years, I will become an old monster." Mr. Mo immediately snorted at her like a child.
Ji Nuan immediately smiled and arched her eyebrows. Her hand had been held by the old man, and she didn't take it out in a hurry. She just patiently leaned over the wheelchair and said softly: "I heard Ober say a few days ago that you fainted because of high blood pressure. Fortunately, it’s just high blood pressure, not any other problem. In the future, you must remember to drink less, eat less greasy and high-calorie foods, and eat more light side dishes.”
"Do you think I have high blood pressure just because I usually drink some wine and eat some good food?" The old man snorted again, holding Ji Nuan's hand tightly: "It's because I know that this girl like you has returned to China, but she has never been there. Come see me, I’m angry!”
Ji Nuan looked embarrassed.
The old man rolled his eyes at her and said with a snort: "Tell me about you. The relationship with Jing Shen was so good at the beginning, and no one could separate you. In the end, the divorce was not mentioned. Let me tell you, I waited for you downstairs in your company for so long, but you avoided seeing me, do you know how sad I was at that time?"
Ji Nuan lowered her eyes: "Grandpa Mo..."
Seeing that Ji Nuan didn't seem to want to mention what happened three years ago, Mr. Mo let go of her hand and sighed: "Forget it, you didn't want to see me at that time, and you definitely didn't dare to see me. Anyway, I was holding back the thought at the beginning. All that anger was finally vented on Jing Shen, and he suffered the few times I hit him. At least you returned to the country safely, so I won’t mention those years."
After Ji Nuan heard this, he subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at Mo Jingshen, who was standing in front of the door because Ober went to talk to him. The man's clear and indifferent facial expression was caused by the look Ji Nuan cast towards him. That glance softened him slightly, but he obviously had no intention of explaining anything because of the old man's words.
