After a while, Mu Shaoling's people came in a hurry.
Nianmu explained the matter clearly in a few words and then let those people go back.
This matter was truly resolved, and Nian Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Ruan Manwei looked at her smile after solving the matter, and couldn't help but raise his hand to gently brush away the falling snow on her shoulders.
"You came here anxiously, right? You didn't wear any gloves. It must be very cold. Let's go in," she said.
"Okay, Aunt Ruan." Nian Mu rubbed his palms and followed Ruan Manwei into the community.
Ruan Manwei walked beside Nian Mu, and when he looked sideways at her, he was slightly in a trance. Nian Mu was as tall as Ruan Bai.
The little girl used to walk beside her like this, but now Nian Mu walks beside her and actually gives her the same feeling.
I was really stunned.
Ruan Man shook his head slightly. Nian Mu noticed it and asked, "Aunt Ruan, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, it's very cold this winter. Let's go inside quickly. Mr. Mu is here too. You should know him, right? He's Shaoling's grandfather." Ruan Manwei said, pressing the fingerprint lock and pushing the door open.
Mr. Mu is here too?
Nianmu paused for a moment, thinking of what happened yesterday.
If Mr. Mu could make such an arrangement, he must be trying to reconcile her and Mu Shaoling.
But he came here as a guest today...
Nian Mu knew that he had a good relationship with her grandfather, and now she could only pray that the old man would not say too much when he saw her later, so as not to make her grandfather and aunt suspicious.
"What's wrong with you?" Ruan Man closed the door slightly and noticed something was wrong with Nian Mu's expression.
Nian Mu forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Mu to come here."
"The old man came here this morning. He seems to be in a good mood. He has been playing chess with my father here. He also stayed for dinner at noon. The two of them have probably rested enough now and are ready to continue playing chess." Ruan Manwei said.
Ever since Old Ruan's health improved a lot after Nian Mu's treatment, Old Man Mu often came to play chess with him.
With a chessboard, a few cups of tea, and some simple refreshments, Mr. Mu can stay here all day.
In his words, this place is better than the Mu family's old house, at least it's peaceful.
Seeing that he liked staying here so much, Ruan Manwei and the nanny packed up a room for him and used it as a rest room. After all, the elderly had the habit of taking a lunch break at noon.
Old Ruan was naturally happy, after all, someone could play chess with him to relieve his boredom.
Nian Mu nodded, agreeing with her words.
Ruan Manwei thought that her nervousness was due to her fear of meeting Mr. Mu, who was her boss's grandfather after all, so she comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Mu is quite easy to get along with in private, and he is easy-going and doesn't have so many taboos."
"Okay." Nian Mu could only say this. She was not worried that Mr. Mu would be difficult to get along with. She was worried that Mr. Mu might accidentally expose her affairs.
After all, her aunt and grandfather must have stood by her previous identity.
The two of them walked into the back room.
Ruan Manwei greeted: "Nian Mu, take off your coat and let the nanny help you dry your clothes."
"Ah, okay." Nianmu took off his coat.
The nanny took her coat and said, "Ms. Nian, is there anything in the pocket of the coat? If not, I will pick it up and dry it for you first."
"No, sorry for bothering you." Nian Mu said very politely.
The nanny nodded and said to Ruan Manwei: "Madam, the old man and the others have gotten up and are now playing chess in the living room on the second floor."
"Okay, I understand. I'll send you some refreshments later." Ruan Man nodded slightly, took off his coat and put it aside, asking the nanny to dry Nian Mu's coat first.
The nanny took Nian Mu's coat and walked into the laundry room.
After Ruan Manwei took off his scarf and gloves, he said to Nian Mu: "Nian Mu, you sit down first. I'll prepare some snacks and tea."
"Let me help you." Nian Mu said.
Ruan Man shook his head slightly and did not agree, "You are a guest, how can I ask you to help?"
"Just let me help. It's better to move around than to sit down." Nian Mu said. She hadn't cooked food for the elderly in a long time.
I remember that in the past, the old man liked the meals and snacks she cooked, and even praised her, saying that the meals she cooked were the most delicious in the world.
At that time, she thought that she would be filial to him for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that now that she had a different identity, even the simplest thing of visiting him would become so difficult.
Seeing her persistence, Ruan Manwei was about to refuse, but heard Nian Mu say again: "Aunt Ruan, if you want me to sit in the living room and wait for you to finish, then I won't bother you."
"No, no, I can't compete with you. Let's go and prepare together." Ruan Manwei said.
With her consent, Nian Mu smiled happily and walked into the kitchen with her.
"I'll make tea for the two old people first. They both like to drink tea after they wake up." Ruan Manwei said, handing her another apron.
Nianmu took the apron, tied it on, and said, "Then what should I do?"
Ruan Manwei took out the tea leaves and the mountain spring water specially used for making tea, and said helplessly: "I have to think about preparing some snacks. I would have prepared them before, but today Li Zong and the others came over to make such a fuss.
, I haven’t had time to prepare yet.”
"I'll prepare some sugar-free biscuits, okay?" Nian Mu asked.
"You can also make cookies?" Ruan Manwei was a little surprised.
"Well, I usually like to eat." Nian Mu said.
"Okay, my dad likes to eat biscuits the most, but he still likes to eat the biscuits made by his granddaughter. But with so many things happening, he hasn't eaten them for a long time. The ones I made are not as good as those made by my niece.
Eat, can I trouble you?" Ruan Manwei said while making tea.
"It's not troublesome. Where are the ingredients?" Nian Mu asked.
"In the cupboard, and in the refrigerator."
"Okay, then I'll take action." Nian Mu was also unambiguous. He found the relevant ingredients and started to take action.
Ruan Man was slightly surprised when he saw her actions. How did she find all the ingredients so quickly?
It's like living here, she knows the arrangement of the ingredients very well.
Nianmu put the ingredients together and skillfully made cookies.
After Ruan Manwei made the tea, he said: "Nian Mu, I will send the tea up first and I will come down to help you later."
"Okay." Nian Mu said. She just took a look at the oven in the kitchen. It was big enough. After she finished making the cookies, she could also make some small cakes.
She remembered that grandpa was different from others. He liked to eat these snacks the most. They were exquisite and delicious.
Nian Mu understood that the older generation had suffered too much, so these snacks were new to him at that time, so the old man liked them.
