Although Lin Ning locked himself in the bedroom, there was no guarantee that he would not make any noise.
Children are curious, and if they find something wrong, they will definitely tell Mu Shaoling.
Zhou Qing thought of this and used a gentle smile to cover up her inner uneasiness, "The toy room was just disinfected this morning and the smell is very strong now. It's better not to go up there. What do you want to play with? I'll get it for you, okay?"
"
Hearing this, Taotao shook her head, sensible and well-behaved, "Grandma, don't bother me, I'll watch cartoons."
"Okay, you want to watch the animation station, right? I'll turn on the TV for you." Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the child didn't cry and made noises to go up and play.
Mu Shaoling looked at her and then glanced upstairs. Lin Ning must be hiding upstairs now.
Otherwise, Zhou Qing would not have stopped Taotao from going upstairs.
Nian Mu also knew the reason for this, but he didn't point it out, nor did he say anything about visiting the Lin family during the day.
Zhou Qing turned on the TV. The three children were sitting on the sofa watching TV without making any noise. She breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "You guys watch first, grandma will get you some snacks."
At the same time, Mu Shaoling also stood up, "Mother-in-law, I heard from my father-in-law that he recently collected an antique inkstone. Is it in the study?"
Zhou Qing stopped and saw that the study was on the second floor.
"Maybe so. I've heard about it too, but I don't know much about his antiques. Why don't we wait until he comes back to take a look?" She suggested, dragging Mu Shaoling as much as possible without letting him go upstairs.
"Okay." Mu Shaoling didn't really intend to enter Lin Wenzheng's study. After all, there might be confidential documents in his study at any time, so it would be better for him not to go in.
Seeing that he hadn't sat down yet, Zhou Qing even took a step forward. He was worried for a moment and asked, "Shaoling, where are you going?"
Mu Shaoling looked at her, "Bathroom."
Zhou Qing suddenly understood and nodded, "Okay."
After Mu Shaoling walked into the bathroom, she glanced at Nian Mu who was sitting on the sofa watching TV with the children, "Xiao Nian, can you come to the kitchen and help me bring out some fruit?"
It's impolite to ask guests to help, but Zhou Qing doesn't care that much.
She couldn't tell Nian Mu about Lin Ning in front of her children, so she could only go to the kitchen.
Nian Mu knew what she was going to say, so he nodded, stood up, and walked into the kitchen with her.
The nanny was cutting fruit, and Zhou Qing had no intention of letting her avoid it. After all, she also knew about Lin Ning's return.
"Xiao Nian, I have something to ask you." She said, her tone full of helplessness.
"Aunt, that's what you say." Nian Mu knew what she was going to say. After all, Lin Ning was the daughter she had raised for more than 20 years. Although she was not related by blood, there was still family affection.
It is understandable that she would speak for Lin Ning and ask herself to hide it.
"Can you not tell Shao Ling what happened during the day?" Zhou Qing requested.
"Did something happen this morning?" Nian Mu asked back. Although she did not agree with Zhou Qing's actions, she was just an acquaintance to her now and had no position to agree or disagree with this matter.
.
Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and thanked you: "Thank you."
The nanny put the cut fruits on the plate, and Nian Mu picked up the fruit plate and said, "I'll send it out."
Zhou Qing nodded, opened the cupboard, took out some snacks that the children liked to eat, put them on another plate, and took them out together.
When Mu Shaoling walked out of the bathroom, he saw the two of them walking out of the kitchen at the same time, so he knew what they said in the kitchen.
Nian Mu wanted to leave after serving the fruit, but was persuaded by Zhou Qing and Taotao to stay, and finally decided to have a meal with them.
Half an hour later, Lin Wenzheng returned to the villa after get off work. When he saw the child, a smile appeared on his serious face.
"Come, let me see my precious grandson!" He put down his briefcase and picked up Taotao.
"Grandpa, grandpa, he already has the answer to the question you gave your brother before!" Taotao said excitedly, because he had promised that if one of them could solve the problem, he would give each of them a set of toys.
Lin Wenzheng showed a surprised expression, "Really? Then tell Zhan Zhan?"
Zhan Zhan told the answer.
Lin Wenzheng showed his thumb to the child, "That's awesome. You are worthy of being my grandson. I will buy you toys when the weekend comes!"
"Grandpa is the best!" Taotao took the lead in cheering.
Lin Wenzheng looked at Nian Mu. Zhou Qing had already sent him a WeChat message to tell him what happened, so when he saw her, he was not too surprised. Instead, he nodded towards her and said hello: "Xiao Nian, you are here too."
"Yes, I came over to check my aunt's pulse. Her pulse was stable and there was no big problem." Nian Mu explained without mentioning what happened in the morning.
Lin Wenzheng didn't mention it either.
Mu Shaoling looked at them and suddenly said: "Father-in-law, you collected an antique inkstone before?"
"Yes, are you interested in seeing it? It's in my study." Lin Wenzheng said straightforwardly. After finishing speaking, he remembered that Lin Ning was on the second floor.
Zhou Qing's heart also skipped a beat.
"I want to take a look. It will be my grandpa's birthday in a month. He has recently become obsessed with collecting and studying these antique inkstones, so I thought of getting one for him," Mu Shaoling said.
Lin Wenzheng put Taotao on the ground and glanced at Zhou Qing. Although she was smiling, she was not calm.
"Come on, I'll take you to have a look. I got it from a collector. If you think it's okay, he has better ones, so you can go shopping for them." Lin Wenzheng took Mu Shaoling upstairs.
.
He knew that Zhou Qing had warned Lin Ning before, so it should be fine if he took Mu Shaoling upstairs.
If Zhou Qing couldn't help but make loud noises and was discovered, it would be no one else's fault.
Mu Shaoling followed Lin Wenzheng upstairs.
Zhou Qingxin wanted to send Lin Ning a WeChat message telling her not to make any noise, but she was worried that her phone was not muted, so she put the phone down again.
"Grandma, why are you sweating?" Ruanruan on the side was very attentive and noticed something was wrong with her.
Zhou Qing came to his senses, touched the sweat on his forehead, and said, "It's nothing, it's just the weather, it's a bit stuffy, it's okay."
Ruanruan nodded. For some reason, she always felt that her grandmother was worried about something.
Nianmu looked at Mu Shaoling's figure walking upstairs, thoughtfully.
In a month's time, it will indeed be Mr. Mu's birthday.
Mu Shaoling's excuse for wanting to see the inkstone was perfect, but she always felt that the man knew that Lin Ning was back.
Maybe, he even knew that he had been here during the day...
But he knew it, why didn't he expose it? Didn't he hate Lin Ning?
