After Old Ruan came downstairs, the four of them sat at the dining table together.
Because of the arrival of Mu Shaoling and the fact that Nian Mu gave the old man a different hope, the old man was smiling the whole time. While eating, he talked about his experiences in Japan in the past few years.
Nian Mu didn't say much, but listened carefully.
She missed spending time with them, so when Old Ruan talked about the past, she listened carefully and kept it in mind.
After eating, Mu Shaoling and Nian Mu sat for a while and then planned to leave.
Nian Mu didn't say anything and left with him.
After Ruan Manwei sent them away, he returned to the house. Old Ruan was drinking tea comfortably.
"Shaoling and the others have left?" Old Man Ruan asked.
"Yes." Ruan Manwei looked solemn, sitting on the sofa and refilling the old man's cup of tea, "Dad, I have something to say."
Old Man Ruan noticed her serious expression and asked, "Do you want to talk about Ms. Nian?"
Although the old man was in poor health, he was still shrewd and could see what she was thinking at a glance.
Ruan Man nodded slightly and said: "Although Shaoling said that Ms. Nian's medical skills are very good, I still feel that this large amount of medicine will affect your body, otherwise we should ask other doctors?"
Old Ruan shook his head and said: "Other doctors were also recommended by Shao Ling, and the doctor who helped me with my treatment was also recommended by Shao Ling. Do you not believe Shao Ling, or do you not believe Ms. Xin?"
Ruan Manwei stopped talking. She really didn't believe Xi Mu. Although she felt familiar at first glance, she still didn't quite believe it.
Old Ruan said again: "Is it because she looks young? Manwei, you went to live in Japan with that man a long time ago. You have seen a lot of markets. You must know that a person's skills are not necessarily directly proportional to his age.
.”
"I know, Dad, I'm just worried about your health." Ruan Manwei explained helplessly.
"I believe in Shao Ling, and I also believe in Ms. Xin. The first time I saw her, I felt a familiar feeling, as if a relative I hadn't seen for a long time suddenly bumped into her. Otherwise, why do you think I was in such a good mood today?
"Old Ruan winked playfully. Although he was not in good health, he always maintained a good attitude.
"Dad, this..." Ruan Man was slightly stunned. Nian Mu had never spoken to the old man before and after, but he got the old man's approval.
She knew that this was not simply because of Mu Shaoling.
"I am just an old man with one foot in the coffin. There is no way Ms. Nian could frame me." Old Ruan continued.
Ruan Manwei had no choice but to say: "I think the relationship between Ms. Nian and Shaoling is unusual. If I continue to treat you, the relationship between them may become closer. Xiaobai hasn't come back yet, and I don't want to wait for her to come back safely."
Later, my husband died."
When Ruan Bai was mentioned, Old Ruan was silent for a long time.
Even though this granddaughter has no blood relationship with me, the relationship that has lasted for more than 20 years will not change just because there is no blood relationship.
"We should believe Shaoling." Old Ruan said.
Ruan Man sighed slightly. She was also here, so she could still catch every trace clearly. Just before, Mu Shaoling's eyes often fell on Nian Mu, so she had a bad premonition.
"Stop sighing. If they really have something, can we people stop it? Although we all hope that Xiaobai is still alive, there has been no news for so many years, so we should look away." Old Ruan comforted her in turn.
.
"I know, Dad." Ruan Man looked away slightly, but there was really nothing he could do.
After all, Ruan Bai has been missing for so long, and Mu Shaoling now has a fake Ruan Bai by his side. It is said that their relationship is not very good, and their natal family members cannot say anything about it.
Ruan Manwei looked at Old Ruan and seemed to agree with Nian Mu. He sighed, stood up and said, "Dad, do you want to go upstairs?"
Old Man Ruan put down the tea cup, nodded, and said: "By the way, if you are empty later, go to the pharmacy and buy those Chinese medicines. I want to drink them early and see the effect."
"Okay." Ruan Manwei had no choice but to agree.
…
The other side.
Nian Mu was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at the receding scenery outside the car window. She thought about it and thanked her: "Thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Mu Shaoling asked knowingly.
Nian Mu was speechless and didn't know how to reply. Thank him for taking her to visit her grandfather? But she was not Ruan Bai now, and the Ruan family was just a strange family to her.
She made an excuse at random, "The old man's physical condition is not good, and this disease is difficult to treat. I am only 80% sure. But with this patient, I feel that I will face this problem in the future."
Once you catch the disease, you can be sure of it, so thank you."
Mu Shaoling listened to her reluctant prevarication, but did not expose it. Instead, he said: "Then I added one more example to you?"
Nian Mu felt strange, nodded and said: "Yes..."
She always felt something was wrong.
Mu Shaoling said again: "Then you should thank me."
"..." Nian Mu didn't expect that he could continue to accept such a poor reason, and it was still teasing.
When Mu Shaoling saw that she had stopped talking, he added: "Actually, I should thank you. The old man has been troubled by this disease for a long time. Sometimes Si Yao would come to help with examinations, but he never got better after taking medicine. At most, it was delayed.
The disease has broken out. If you help to treat him now, I believe his body will get better soon."
Nianmu said "hmm" and his phone rang.
She glanced at it and saw that it was Zhou Qing's call. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally answered, "Hello, Aunt Lin."
When Mu Shaoling heard this, Aunt Lin knew that the person on the other end of the phone was Zhou Qing.
He slowed down his driving speed.
Nian Mu felt that the car was slowing down and took a special look.
Mu Shaoling continued to drive without saying anything.
Zhou Qing on the other end of the phone sounded anxious and said, "Xiao Nian, where are you now?"
"I'm outside, what's wrong?" Nian Mu said.
"Can you come over to Lin's house now? I have something going on here." Zhou Qing's voice sounded like crying.
Nian Mu glanced at Mu Shaoling. Lin Ning was probably the only one who could make Zhou Qing so anxious.
She was afraid that Lin Ning would cause some trouble and damage her body, so now that she knew she regretted it, Zhou Qing was eager to find her.
However, Mu Shaoling is still there...
Does she want to get off the bus and take a taxi to Lin's house? Nianmu looked at Mu Shaoling and asked, "Don't be impatient and tell me slowly, what happened?"
Zhou Qing looked at Lin Ning, who was lying half-dead on the bed, and couldn't help crying.
