After Mu Shaoling left the dining room, he didn't see Mr. Mu and his children, so he walked to the study.
Sure enough, the old man and the children were all in the study room.
Taotao was telling jokes that were popular among children, trying to find ways to make old man Mu happy.
Mr. Mu's face was dark and ugly. When he saw Mu Shaoling walking in, he asked, "Have they finished their quarrel?"
"It doesn't count." Mu Shaoling shook his head. It was he who calmed down the war with force.
"Then they are still quarreling?" Mr. Mu asked. Although he had foresight, the old man was not happy that a good New Year's Eve reunion dinner was messed up like this.
"No, I'll have someone book a flight and send her back to South Korea tomorrow." Mu Shaoling decided.
But Mr. Mu shook his head, "Shaoling, you know that she can't leave so soon. It's better not to book it. It's a waste of money."
If Zhang Yali didn't want to leave, it wouldn't be so smooth if he wanted to send her away.
Mu Shaoling frowned.
It is easy to ask the gods but difficult to send them away. What's more, Zhang Yali came back by herself, so it is even harder to send her back.
Even if the plastic surgery institution in South Korea is helping her arrange surgery, at this point, she may not go.
"Ask the butler to bring the food in. I want to eat here with the children." Mr. Mu ordered. He could starve, but the children could not.
When Zhang Yali entered the dining room, Cai Xiufen started to find fault. The children didn't even have time to take a bite of hot rice, and they were forced to watch this kind of dispute that was not good for children's education.
"Grandpa, let's go out to eat." Mu Shaoling advised. After Zhang Yali made such a fuss, and he said he would send her back to South Korea, he would definitely not go downstairs again for a while.
"What are you going out for? Do you want to continue watching the show? People are scolding their own people. I have watched this kind of drama for more than 20 years. No matter how interesting it is, I am tired of it. What's so interesting about two shrews? It's bad luck and it affects the children.
Thoughts." Mr. Mu used an unlucky word.
He did not favor any of his daughters-in-law and scolded both of them.
Zhang Yali is wrong, her words are harsh and unpleasant, but Cai Xiufen is not much better.
He takes the initiative to stir up trouble, and must turn the Mu family upside down.
Mu Shaoling picked up the phone and called the housekeeper to bring the food in. Then he said, "Grandpa, come back to the villa with me tomorrow."
"That's what I meant, but I'm only going for one day. I have to come back on the second day of the Lunar New Year." Mr. Mu said.
"But she can't leave so soon." Mu Shaoling frowned.
"This is an old house. I live in your place all year round to avoid the quarrels between the two of them. Is it okay? And after the New Year, more people come to pay New Year greetings. You said that in this home, your aunt can host the guests.
?Or is your own mother able to do such a thing?" Mr. Mu asked back, this family still has to rely on him.
Neither Cai Xiufen nor Zhang Yali will do it.
They were jealous of each other, and whoever was asked to take the lead in receiving guests would definitely cause trouble to the other one, especially if Zhang Yali was like this and couldn't receive guests, it would be a disgrace to the Mu family.
It would be even worse if the two of them came together to receive the people who came to pay New Year greetings.
Mr. Mu never saw them staying together peacefully for more than half an hour.
No matter who it is, it is destined to lose the Mu family's face, so it would be safer for him to come in person.
After all, Mu Shaoling and Mu Ruicheng were not willing to do such a thing.
"Grandpa is right." Zhan Zhan said.
Mu Shaoling lowered his eyes.
The butler knocked on the door and said, "Sir, the food is here."
"Push the door open and bring them in. My great-grandchildren are all hungry." Mr. Mu responded to the door.
The housekeeper opened the door and walked in, followed by the nanny carrying the dishes.
He put the tray on the coffee table. Seeing this, the nanny put another tray with food on the coffee table.
Mr. Mu used his crutch, held Taotao's hand, walked to the sofa next to the coffee table and sat down, "Come, let's have a reunion dinner."
The housekeeper was helpless when he saw the old man like this. He was obviously the head of the family, but he was so troubled that he could only have the reunion dinner in the study.
"Shaoling, what are you doing standing there? Drag a chair and eat." Mr. Mu said.
Hearing this, Mu Shaoling nodded, dragged the chair and sat across from him.
Mr. Mu and the other three children sat on the sofa, holding bowls, and started eating.
The butler asked from the side: "Old man, those two ladies and guests...and the second young master and the others..."
"There is still food left in the kitchen. They can eat it if they want. Also, ask Ruicheng to come to the study after eating. I need to see him if I have something to do." Mr. Mu said.
"Okay, old man, you eat first and call me if you need anything." The butler exited the study.
The study room, which was lit with sandalwood, was now filled with the aroma of food, giving it a hint of the new year and family affection.
Mr. Mu sighed: "I remember when I first came out to work in City A and had no money to go home during the Chinese New Year, I stayed with my coworkers in a house smaller than this study room, eating and celebrating together.
Rice is the best meal we eat in a year."
Although the three children lived a privileged life, the old man often told them about the hard working days in the past.
Therefore, unlike other children from rich families, they understand the old man's difficult life very well.
"Grandpa, after dinner, let's watch the Spring Festival Gala together," Taotao suggested.
"Okay, let's watch the Spring Festival Gala together." Mr. Mu looked at the child's face and felt more comfortable.
upstairs.
Zhang Yali returned to her bedroom angrily, with Tang Xiaoxiao following behind her.
After closing the bedroom door, Zhang Yali vented her emotions wantonly, "I'm so angry. Who is that Cai Xiufen? Why do you say that to me? One day, I will drive her out of the Mu family's door.
.”
Seeing her like this, Tang Xiaoxiao didn't dare to express her anger, so she could only comfort her in a low voice, "Aunt Zhang, don't be angry with that kind of woman. Now let's think about what will happen tomorrow..."
She heard with her own ears that Mu Shaoling wanted to send Zhang Yali back to South Korea.
Zhang Yali's return to South Korea means that she also has to return to South Korea. She is not willing to go back to South Korea just like this.
I didn't get any benefits at all, and I couldn't even express myself in front of Mu Shaoling...
Tang Xiaoxiao was anxious. Seeing that Zhang Yali could only scold Cai Xiufen, he could only bite the bullet and remind her of the seriousness of the matter, "Isn't it that you returned to China this time to consolidate your position in this family? If you return to South Korea now,
Then it will be a waste of time to come back... After you have the operation, you will have to recover for at least a month. It is hard to say the date of your return."
"Of course I know, but what are you afraid of?" Zhang Yali did not take Mu Shaoling's words to heart.
