Because of Nian Mu, Zhou Qing couldn't laugh. She lowered her eyes and looked at the children with bright smiles on their faces. She asked: "Okay, okay, they are all good children, but why are you all here?"
"Grandpa invited us here," Taotao said.
Lin Wenzheng on the side held Zhou Qing's hand and explained: "I know you like the excitement, so I invited Shaoling and the children to come over for a meal."
Zhou Qing looked at Nian Mu.
Zhan Zhan knew how to watch people's words and followed their father's instructions, saying: "But dad doesn't have time recently and basically works overtime at the company, so he asked sister Nianmu to bring us over. He said that someone should watch us, otherwise there would be trouble.
Grandpa and grandma have a headache."
"Is that so?" Zhou Qing was confused. If Nian Mu really agreed to Mu Shaoling's instructions, he could explain it after entering the villa.
However, it was only this time that the explanation made sense.
"Yes, Mr. Mu asked me to bring the children over to celebrate you two." Nian Mu followed the children's words and at the same time noticed that Zhou Qing's mood was not right.
She seemed to be defensive and sharp about herself.
"So that's it. I didn't even notice that Shaoling was busy with projects during this period, otherwise I definitely wouldn't bother him." Lin Wenzheng answered.
Zhan Zhan added: "Dad is very busy recently. Sometimes my sister has to come over to take care of us after get off work and then go home."
Nian Mu listened to the child's words and felt puzzled.
Is this what Mu Shaoling specifically ordered the children to say? What kind of medicine are they selling in their gourds?
When Zhou Qing heard this, he was confused, was what they said true?
Even if Mu Shaoling is busy, he can find a nanny to take care of his children, so why should he ask Nian Mu?
She's busy too, isn't she?
"Shaoling is so busy, so thank you for your hard work, Xiao Nian, please help take care of the children." Lin Wenzheng happily followed the children's words and squeezed Zhou Qing's hand.
Now, she should be relieved, right?
Zhou Qing also said: "So, Xiaonian, you have been helping Shaoling take care of the children during this time? How embarrassing."
"It's nothing. The children are very obedient and I like getting along with them." Nian Mu continued.
"Yes, we also like our sister to take care of us, and the food she cooks is delicious. I will eat it up every time." Taotao answered.
Zhou Qing nodded. It seemed that Nian Mu did not live in the villa, but only went in there every day to take care of the children.
Although all this could be explained, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Nian Mu always felt that what Mu Shaoling told the children was not that simple...
Originally she thought he was just telling the children not to talk about living with her, and then how to say nice things.
But now it seems that Mu Shaoling is using the child to cover up something.
The atmosphere was a bit tense, and Zhou Qing was not happy because of the children's explanation.
She looked at the children with a forced smile, thinking, what if Nian Mu is really with Mu Shaoling, and Nian Mu has such a good relationship with the children, and if this continues, what will Ruan Bai do when he comes back?
Love and family are all gone.
Nianmu looked at her worry and knew better.
She is unfilial and has not taken care of Zhou Qing for several years, so she is worried like this.
Glancing at the gift in her hand, she saw that it was prepared by Mu Shaoling. She handed it over and said, "Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, this is my gift to you. I wish you a happy wedding anniversary."
Lin Wenzheng glanced at Zhou Qing. If she knew that the person in front of her was their precious daughter, would she still be so melancholy?
He happily took it and said, "Thank you, Xiao Nian, you are thoughtful."
Nian Mu felt a little guilty at his words. She had no intention. No child in this world could be like her.
She was in front of her closest relatives, but she was threatened and did not dare to recognize them.
Zhou Qing still didn't speak. Lin Wenzheng took the gift in his hand and said: "Xiao Nian, I heard that you usually study calligraphy and painting. I have collected several oil paintings recently. Are you here to help me take a look?"
"Actually, I just looked at it casually." Nian Mu said. When it comes to appreciation, her ability is far inferior to Lin Wenzheng.
"It doesn't matter, the chef is still preparing the food anyway, so you come and appreciate it." Lin Wenzheng said, insisting on pulling Nian Mu along.
Unable to resist his enthusiasm, Nianmu had no choice but to follow him upstairs.
Zhou Qing watched them go upstairs, glanced at the three children, and said, "Zhan Zhan Taotao, I bought some new toys two days ago and put them upstairs. You guys go and play."
"Really? Thank you grandma."
"Okay, grandma." Zhan Zhan and Taotao said in unison, noticing that their grandmother only named the two brothers, so Zhan Zhan took Taotao's hand and went upstairs.
In the living room downstairs, only Ruanruan was left.
Ruanruan watched her brothers go upstairs and asked in a low voice: "Grandma, can I go upstairs to play with my brothers?"
Zhou Qing pulled Ruanruan to sit on the sofa and looked at her lovingly.
Among the three children, only Ruanruan is the most like Ruan Bai. She looks at the child as if she were seeing Ruan Bai.
"Ruanruan, grandma knows you are a good boy, so you won't deceive grandma, right?" she asked.
Ruanruan nodded, feeling surprised that she said these words, "Grandma, what happened?"
"Nothing happened. Grandma just wanted to know something, so she kept you here. You will answer Grandma's questions honestly, right?" Zhou Qing held her small hands and looked at the child. She left softly.
It's soft for a reason.
Little girls are not very good at lying.
"Grandma, I will tell you whatever you want to know." Ruanruan suddenly knew something.
"Do you really like Sister Nian Mu?" Zhou Qing asked.
"Yes, my brother and I, as well as my younger brother, all like to stay with Sister Nianmu. Sister Nianmu is very nice, gentle, and very nice to us, so we all like her." Ruan Ruan nodded.
Hearing what the child said, Zhou Qing sighed in his heart, Nian Mu's influence on the children was too great.
Even surpassing the mother Ruan Bai...
"So Sister Nianmu has been taking care of you during this time? Your father didn't hire another nanny to take care of you?" Zhou Qing asked again.
"Sister will come and take care of us whenever she is free." Ruanruan knew why she asked, so she used the trick that Mu Shaoling told her to do, "My younger brother is picky about food and doesn't like to eat the food cooked by the nanny hired by my father."
I like my sister’s cooking, so when she is free, she will come over and cook for us.”
Zhou Qing listened to what Ruan Ruan said and it seemed that Nian Mu was indeed just helping to take care of the children, rather than living with Mu Shaoling.
She asked again: "Then why did your father take you out to live?"
