Since the last incident of taking medicine in person, Mavis has always deliberately avoided Ning Chengxu, but Ning Chengxu saw it but did not take any action.
The old lady had already noticed something was wrong between these two people.
For half a month, one goes out early and comes back late, and the other goes out late and comes back early.
They seem to avoid each other coincidentally.
They are obviously a couple, but they act like strangers.
The old lady wanted to talk to the two children separately, but one said he was busy at work and the other was nowhere to be seen. When he got home, he went into the study, so the old lady had no chance to make a move.
That night, Mavis' latest project was finally settled. When she came back to pick up the contract, she happened to bump into Ning Chengxu who was coming back from get off work.
The two people met unexpectedly and looked at each other, looking very embarrassed.
Mavis was the first to get out of the way on the stairs.
Ning Chengxu was about to go back to the study when he heard the old lady shouting from downstairs: "You are all back. Just in time, let's sit down and have a meal together."
Mavis tried to speak: "Grandma, here..."
"Don't make excuses. It's been a long time since you two had dinner at home. You are so busy every day. I don't believe how busy you can be."
The old lady choked back her reason with just one sentence.
Seeing this, Mavis nodded helplessly.
Ning Chengxu said nothing and turned to the dining table.
A meal, eaten with tacit understanding.
The old lady kept picking up food for Mavis, "My dear granddaughter-in-law, you are too thin, please eat more."
"I specially asked the kitchen to make your favorite braised pork tenderloin. Try it?"
Mavis picked up a piece of braised tenderloin, put it in her mouth, and then nodded in surprise.
"It's delicious. Thank you grandma. Grandma is very considerate."
The old lady also knows what she likes to eat.
In comparison, Ning Chengxu is the closest person to him in this family, but he is also the most distant person.
But it's okay, the one-year appointment is coming, and it seems more suitable for her to let go at the right time.
"Chengxu, why are you looking so shameless and unwilling to eat with your family?"
Ning Chengxu was suddenly called by the old lady, and his whole expression was cold.
He was thinking about when he could finish eating, and he was sitting side by side with Mavis, not to mention how awkward it was.
Since the old lady asked, he told the truth: "Grandma, I don't like having dinner at home recently. From now on, you don't have to call me when we eat together as a family."
As soon as these words came out, the old lady got angry and threw her chopsticks on the table.
There was a "pop" sound.
Everyone present was so shocked that they did not dare to say a word.
The atmosphere reached a deadlock for a while.
Even Mavis didn't expect that Ning Chengxu would be so disgusted with her that he wouldn't even listen to the old lady's words.
"You unfilial grandson, the whole family has wronged you for dinner? Then who do you want to have dinner with? You don't need to say, I can see that you don't like being together at home, and there is someone else outside? If you dare to provoke Bu Sanbu outside?
Woman of four, do you believe that even though I risked my life, I still make it difficult for you?"
Ning Chengxu subconsciously looked at Mavis, but said: "Whoever said that outsiders must be shabby women."
Unable to hold back his words, he turned around and asked Mavis in a low voice: "Did you say anything to grandma that you shouldn't have said?"
Mavis opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but at this dinner table, even if she said it had nothing to do with her, would Ning Chengxu believe it?
In order to avoid making the fuss worse, Meiwei thought silently.
The old lady became even more angry when she saw her granddaughter-in-law being bullied.
"Can you be nice to Sisi!"
"She is your wife after all! If you don't want to see her now, why did you bring her home in the first place? Now that you have brought her back, you should treat her well!"
"I have seen irresponsible people, but I have never seen someone as irresponsible as you, and you are actually my grandson!"
The more she talked, the angrier she became. The old lady almost couldn't lift it up in one breath and just carried it on her back.
