Chapter 101: Mu Shaoling Competing With His Son for Performance Opportunities
Zhang Yali couldn't be happier when she heard her son say, "We have broken up."
But on the surface, Zhang Yali still looked as if she was heartbroken after losing Ruan Bai, her daughter-in-law-to-be: "Why did we break up properly? Is there any major conflict that cannot be resolved?"
Ruan Bai turned to leave.
Zhang Yali put on a show and called out to Ruan Bai: "Xiao Bai, I'm begging you... don't tell the two old men about this first, their bodies can't withstand this blow."
Mu Shaoling raised his eyes and looked at the door where Ruan Bai's figure disappeared.
At the same time, another pair of deep eyes in the room also looked at the door where Ruan Bai's figure disappeared, and then Zhang Xingan's eyes turned to his cousin, Mu Shaoling.
Zhang Yali turned her back to the three juniors in the study, clenched her fingers, and turned around to give Guo Yinyin an encouraging look.
Guo Yinyin got the hint and poured a glass of water and placed it next to Mu Shaoling's left hand: "Brother Shaoling, drink some water."
Mu Shaoling stopped what he was doing, closed his eyes, raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows, and ignored no one, including Guo Yinyin, who was beside him and was flirting with hospitality.
Zhang Xing'an stood up, stood in front of the window sill and lit a cigarette. He held the cigarette in one hand and pushed open the window with the other, looking inadvertently toward the garden downstairs.
The woman who was called "Xiaobai" by her aunt Zhang Yali just now went to the garden.
Although the distance was relatively far, he could clearly see the face of this young man.
As a veteran in love, Zhang Xing'an understood that the seven words spoken by his cousin Mu Shaoling just now were probably mixed with an ice knife, which made this novice feel a faint pain in his heart.
Zhang Xing'an listened to his aunt chatting with Guo Yinyin about family affairs. It was obvious that his aunt was just pretending. She really liked Guo Yinyin, the charming daughter-in-law of a rich family, and was willing to accept her.
The novice below is actually disliked.
After smoking a cigarette, Zhang Xing'an stubbed out the cigarette butt, raised his head and said, "Auntie, I'm leaving first. I have a drinking date with some friends tonight."
Guo Yinyin let go of Zhang Yali's arm and said, "Auntie, brother Xing'an and I will leave first."
"Come here often. Auntie still has many skin care issues to ask you." Zhang Yali said, looking at her son, "Shaoling, Xing'an and Yinyin are leaving, why don't you go out to see them off?"
Mu Shaoling picked up his cell phone and made a call. He frowned seriously and said business, while waving his hands to his cousin and Guo Yinyin as a farewell.
"Auntie, there's no need to send it off. Remember the family gathering on the weekend."
After saying that, Zhang Xingan asked his aunt to stay and turned to leave.
…
Zhang Yali stood at the top of the stairs and watched the two young people exit the living room on the first floor of the old house.
Turning around and returning to the study, Zhang Yali waited patiently for her son to finish the phone call before saying, "Since you broke up with Xiaobai, then Yinyin..."
"We are ten years apart. I have regarded her as a little sister since I was a child. If you want her to be your daughter-in-law, I'm afraid you will have to find a son." Mu Shaoling did not give his mother any chance to match her.
Zhang Yali looked at her son who was making another phone call and was suddenly so angry that she lost her temper.
Zhang Yali asked herself, what sin did she commit in her previous life to give birth to such a cold-faced son who never knew how to follow his mother's wishes?
Twenty minutes ago, I kept saying that I had broken up with that Ruan Bai! Now, what’s the matter with this attitude of rejecting other women thousands of miles away!
"What's wrong with the age difference of ten years? Which man would think that a woman is too young? Your father wished he could marry another eighteen-year-old wife!" Seeing her son's expressionless face, Zhang Yali added, "I promised Yinyin, let me
She went to your company as an intern for a period of time."
"The internship is no problem, no need to talk about anything else." Mu Shaoling lit a cigarette, then raised his eyes, "I'm working, don't mention this kind of thing again in the future."
Zhang Yali went out and slammed the study door angrily.
She gave birth to a son, but she couldn't control it as a mother. At least Cai Xiufen's son knew how to listen to a few words from his mother, but her son simply didn't listen to a word!
The more Zhang Yali thinks about it, the angrier she becomes!
Downstairs in the old house, Ruan Bai was sitting on a bench. There was a round table in front of the bench, and on the round table was her laptop.
Grandpa is sick here, and it is not an ordinary ailment, it is a rare vomiting of blood. She can only bite the bullet and call the team leader to ask for leave.
Fortunately, Zhou Xiaosu allowed her to take leave.
"Hello, my name is Guo Yinyin. We haven't introduced ourselves when we were up there." Guo Yinyin stretched out her hand in a grand manner.
Without reaching out to hit the smiling person, Ruan Bai also stood up and stretched out his hand towards her: "My name is Ruan Bai."
Guo Yinyin let go of Ruan Bai's hand and glanced at Ruan Bai's hand. It was very white and soft. As a woman, she felt jealous when she touched it, let alone a man.
"Let me call you Sister Xiaobai. I will start working in your department tomorrow. I heard from Aunt Yali that you are also new to the design department, but you are still more senior than me. I hope you can teach me more."
"Don't take it seriously, I'm still learning." Ruan Bai said politely.
Guo Yinyin was noncommittal and glanced at Zhang Xing'an: "Brother Xing'an, let's go."
Zhang Xing'an nodded to Ruan Bai as a greeting, but the greeting was somewhat indistinct.
Ruan Bai could only nod.
The two left.
Ruan Bai couldn't tell what his impression of Guo Yinyin was. Whether he was an enemy or a friend, he could only take it one step at a time.
In short, as she is now responsible for her grandfather and father, she cannot afford to lose her job no matter what.
Ruan Bai stayed downstairs until dark.
Mainly because grandpa didn't vomit blood anymore. Even if she went up, she didn't know what to do or say. Facing Mu Shaoling, she felt embarrassed.
Until after eight o'clock, all the mosquitoes on the surrounding grass were attracted by the light of the computer.
That's the only bad thing about summer, there are mosquitoes.
After packing up the computer and going upstairs, Ruan Bai went to his grandfather's room.
Originally, in the afternoon, I wanted to let her go home and stay at night, but Mr. Mu seemed to know what she was going to say, so he spoke first: "You have to take care of your grandpa here in the evening, and the two nannies at home have to be busy with other things. We have to pay to hire caregivers.
I'm afraid I don't treat the elderly with care."
You can't leave your grandfather to Mu Shaoling and his family to take care of him personally. Ruan Bai has no reason to go home.
Mr. Mu was listening to the radio in this room. When Ruan Bai entered the room, his grandfather discovered that his arms and legs were badly bitten by mosquitoes, and his fair skin was red in several places.
"I told you to come in early and watch the mosquitoes bite you..."
Mu Zhanbai took his homework book and was originally going to ask Auntie Xiaobai a question in this room, but when he heard that Auntie Xiaobai had been bitten by a mosquito, he immediately ran back to the room to find mosquito bite ointment.
When I came out, I met my father who had just walked out of the study.
"Why are you running?" Mu Shaoling lowered his head and glanced at his son, his eyes cold.
"Auntie Xiaobai was bitten by a mosquito, so I went to get ointment." The little guy said in a waxy tone, indicating that he was not running around.
Mu Shaoling looked at the ointment in his son's hand and snatched it away: "Go back to the house and do your homework, and I will deliver it to you."
The little guy looked at his father in confusion as he walked towards Aunt Xiaobai's house...
It's so shameless to compete with your son for a chance to perform!
