Fortunately, Mavis handed over a glass of water in time, which allowed the old lady to calm down.
She gently patted the old lady's back and comforted her: "Grandma, don't be angry. It's not worth getting so angry. And Chengxu, didn't you say you still have work to do, go to the study quickly."
It was obvious that she was helping to relieve the situation. No matter how much Ning Chengxu said, it would be meaningless, so he simply left the dinner table.
After they left, the old lady wanted to express something, but she opened her mouth and finally suppressed her scolding words.
She only patted the back of Mavis's hand and kept saying, "Good boy, I'm really wronging you."
Mavis smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, grandma. Let us resolve our matters ourselves. The most important thing is for you to take care of yourself."
Jing Jingxuan couldn't help but muttered at the side: "Fourth brother is really ignorant, I don't know what to think. Sisi is such a good wife, but I can't find her even with a lantern, so why..."
As she spoke, she saw that the old lady's expression was about to change again, so Jing Jingxuan held back her next words.
In the final analysis, they are just outsiders, and only Mavis can truly understand the sadness of this.
At this moment, she didn't know how uncomfortable she felt.
...
When Shengge, who was far abroad, received a call from Meiwei Si, the work was not completely over yet.
She heard that Mavis was in a very depressed mood on the other end of the phone. Even though her voice was deliberately lowered, she was still able to hear her clearly.
Shengge can guess right.
"Did Ning Chengxu bully you again?"
Mavis said nothing.
Shengge sighed: "Sisi, don't worry, is it still the same thing as last time?"
Mavis told everything about them getting drunk and sleeping together.
After listening to it, Shengge didn't know what to say.
She originally thought that Ning Chengxu just couldn't understand his feelings, but she didn't expect that he didn't want to take responsibility after sleeping.
"Sister Shengge, I just want to find an outlet to vent my emotions. It's really uncomfortable to hold it in. I think I should solve the problem between the two of us by myself."
Even on the verge of collapse, Mavis still pretended to be calm.
She doesn't want others to see through her vulnerability.
Now that she has said so, Shengge can't get involved.
By the end of the phone call, Mavis gradually calmed down and asked, "Sister Shengge, when will you return to China?"
Shengge: "Soon, my two children have grown up very fast recently. I am afraid that something will go wrong without the company of their parents during their growth, so I will rush back to China as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Mavis felt a little envious from the bottom of her heart.
The two of them were on the phone across the ocean, and they hung up after chatting for a while.
Looking at the empty room, Mavis felt uncomfortable.
Now that things are out of the way, Ning Chengxu and Mavis no longer hide their secrets.
In order to avoid her, Ning Chengxu recently moved directly to the study, leaving Mavis alone in the room. All the old lady's previous arrangements were in vain.
The old lady wanted to stay, but everyone was more stubborn than the other, and no one listened to her.
She had no choice but to go back to her room while muttering, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Out of sight is pure.
It is said that when the family is in harmony, everything will be prosperous, but now that the family is not at peace, the old lady always feels uneasy and always thinks that something big will happen.
Late at night, the study room of the Ning family's old house was still lit.
Since returning from the fight, Gu Wanwan has not broken off contact with Ning Chengxu.
Ning Chengxu occasionally receives calls from her.
Gu Wanwan would share more or less happy and unhappy things with him.
Ning Chengxu was in a state of confusion, sitting on the sofa in a daze. During this period, he would inexplicably think of the ridiculous night with Mavis.
But as soon as he sat down, he received a call from Gu Wanwan.
Gu Wanwan on the other end of the phone sounded a little frustrated, but she said in a friendly tone: "Brother Xu, what have you been busy with recently? Do you miss me?"
