Nian Mu knew that if he agreed to stay, there would be a lot of trouble tonight.
Mu Shaoling was going on a business trip tomorrow, and she wanted to be calmer tonight so that he could be in a good mood to deal with the company's affairs.
After being together for such a long time, although he never showed happiness or sorrow on his face, he also acted like a careless person and never seemed to care about the bad things in the old house.
But she knew that Mu Shaoling took the affairs of his old house to heart more than anyone else.
"That won't work. The soup you just drank was mixed with high-concentration liquor. You are all drunk now. It's still snowing outside. You and Shaoling will definitely not be able to drive. As for Lao Zhang, he is also old.
It's a big night and it's better not to let him bother you, so you all can rest here tonight." Mr. Mu decided after taking the case.
Listening to the old man's words, Nian Mu seemed to have no other option but to stay.
If you insist on going back to your old home, it’s not impossible. You can go back with a driver or a taxi.
It's just that if the elderly see this, they will definitely feel unhappy.
Although he didn't say it out loud, Nian Mu also felt that he deliberately kept her here tonight.
She couldn't go back, and neither could Mu Shaoling or the child. Nian Mu was suspicious, could it be that the old man missed his grandson too much, so he specifically asked her to stay here to rest?
"Okay, old man." Nian Mu agreed.
When Mr. Mu saw that he had agreed, he deliberately glanced at Mu Shaoling.
Catching the old man's gaze, Mu Shaoling knew what he was planning. He glanced at Nian Mu. She wiped Taotao's mouth with a piece of paper, seemingly unaware of the old man's plan.
His heart was helpless, and he roughly knew what they were planning.
He also wished he could get to know Nian Mu earlier, or use another identity to gain her trust and companionship.
However, Nian Mu still has worries in his heart. How could it be so easy?
Cai Xiufen looked at this scene. The old man was making medicinal tea for her and preparing tonic soup. This was not the treatment that a guest would have. She was regarded as her granddaughter-in-law...
I glanced at Du Ruirui, who was taking care of Tianyu to eat fruit, and felt sullen in my heart.
Murui Cheng noticed that Cai Xiufen was about to speak again, and knew that she was in a mood at the moment and couldn't say anything to please the old man, so he immediately stood up and said, "Mom, you asked us to bring you a set of jewelry for your birthday."
Ruirui found it for you. Do you want to try it on?"
Half a month later, it will be Cai Xiufen's birthday.
Although it was not her birthday yet, Cai Xiufen paid special attention to it, and the old man also agreed to let her hold a banquet, so she organized it herself.
I read about a set of global limited edition jewelry in a magazine and asked Murui Cheng to help me get it.
When she heard that the jewelry was brought back, Cai Xiufen weighed it. She only stayed for one night. No matter how powerful Nian Mu was, he couldn't stir up trouble in the Mu family.
So he stood up and went to look at the jewelry with Murui Cheng.
Mr. Mu shook his head and looked at Du Ruirui, "Girl Rui Rui, did you really buy that set of jewelry?"
The housekeeper had learned that the set of jewelry that Cai Xiufen liked could not be bought even if one had the money. After all, it was a limited edition in the world. There were only three sets. Moreover, it had been on display shelves for some time and had long been used by other people.
People buy and go.
Globally, there are many more powerful people than the Mu family.
Du Ruirui was hesitant, not sure whether she should say it or not.
"What?" When Mr. Mu saw her look like this, he knew that something was up to him.
"The set of jewelry that mom saw was not easy to buy, and the people who bought it didn't plan to buy it, so Ruicheng found a similar set..." Du Ruirui said, the set that Cai Xiufen wanted, they really didn't want it.
Not found.
"About the same? Can she accept the same?" Mr. Mu knew this daughter-in-law very well.
Even if Cai Xiufen can't get what she likes, she won't give in because she thinks this sentence is disrespectful to her.
Du Ruirui had a sad face and deliberately revealed the family affairs in front of Mu Shaoling.
"Mom, let's not talk about the price of the set of jewelry that she is interested in. It has a high collection value. Ruicheng found a lot of contacts, but they didn't sell it. Finally, she contacted someone who sold it. The price was more than ten dollars higher than the selling price.
Times, grandpa, you also know that although Ruicheng has his own business, it is still a small studio. There is no problem in raising Tianyu, but it is very difficult to buy such high-priced jewelry. What’s more, we don’t have the uncle’s room in our house.
The house costs so much..."
These words were just to get Mu Shaoling to help.
Nian Mu frowned inadvertently, then relaxed, wanting to see how Mu Shaoling would handle this matter.
After all, Du Ruirui's words both inside and outside revealed the idea of wanting Mu Shaoling to contribute money and effort.
But if Mu Shaoling really helps, will Cai Xiufen accept it?
The answer is definitely no.
Cai Xiufen's self-esteem is too strong and she is unlikely to accept the jewelry given by Mu Shaoling.
If he really wanted to help, it could only be through Murui Cheng.
It's just that Mu Ruicheng has also started a family and started a business. According to his self-esteem, he will definitely not easily ask Mu Shaoling for help.
"Without that much money, why is she looking for such an expensive necklace? And Ruicheng, why did he agree when he knew he couldn't do it?" Mr. Mu asked, not following Du Ruirui's wishes and asking Mu Shaoling to help.
After all, Mu Ruicheng really needed help and would definitely be able to talk, but he did not speak to Mu Shaoling.
From the perspective of an adult man, Mr. Mu understood why Mu Ruicheng did what he did, so he did not follow Du Ruirui's wishes to avoid hurting Mu Ruicheng's male self-esteem.
Du Ruirui didn't expect that Mu Shaoling didn't say anything, but that Mr. Mu actually said such things.
To be honest, although that set of necklaces is expensive, according to Mu Shaoling's financial resources, it is a matter of minutes to buy that set of necklaces.
"Isn't that what mom wants? Neither Ruicheng nor I are willing to go against the old lady's wish." Du Ruirui was a little embarrassed.
"Then you deal with this mess." Mr. Mu stood up with a cane and said, "Girl Nian, if you need anything, just tell the housekeeper. After dinner, I will take medicine first."
He had a chronic disease and needed to take medicine after eating every day, so he used this excuse to leave.
He didn't want to interfere with Cai Xiufen's affairs.
Nian Mu stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, old man."
Du Ruirui glanced at Mu Shaoling with a complicated expression. He didn't say a word about Cai Xiufen until Mr. Mu left the dining room.
Looking at this situation, I didn’t want to help.
She felt very unhappy and took Mu Tianyu out of the dining room and went upstairs.
As soon as she walked up the stairs, Cai Xiufen's dissatisfied tone reached her ears.
