"No time." Mu Shaoling refused coldly. Although she and she were mother and son, they were basically in a state of dislike for each other.
She insisted on going back to eat, maybe she had some ulterior plan.
Zhang Yali was very angry when she heard his indifference, and threatened: "Okay, you won't come, right? Then I will go back to my old house to celebrate the New Year. If the old man asks, I will tell the truth."
Although the quarrel between her and Zhang Yali this New Year made the old man very angry, the last thing the old man wanted to see was unfilial piety from his children and grandchildren.
Being unfilial is disrespectful.
Mu Shaoling was not afraid when Zhang Yali moved out of Mr. Mu.
But if she really does this, the old man will definitely get a headache again. Finally, he has an excuse to let her leave the old house. If she is given the opportunity to go back and cry and live there...
Mu Shaoling said: "Not today, I will go there tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Then you can come over in the evening. I probably haven't gotten up yet at noon." Zhang Yali said, she got up late, and it was only at night that it was convenient for Tang Xiaoxiao to do things.
"Yeah." Mu Shaoling pressed the phone.
The three children behind could hear clearly.
Ruanruan asked cautiously: "Dad, we don't have to go back, do we?"
"Dad, I don't want to go to grandma's place, you can just go and eat." Taotao was more direct, expressing his dislike for Zhang Yali.
He is different from his brothers and sisters.
Zhan Zhan and Ruan Ruan have been taken care of by Zhang Yali anyway, so they still have some feelings for each other, but now Zhang Yali's face is really scary, so Ruan Ruan is unwilling to get close to them.
As for Taotao, she had been taken care of by Ruan Bai since she was born. Zhang Yali thought that after Mu Shaoling's accident, she stopped playing the role of a good daughter-in-law and moved out of the Mu family's old house, so he didn't have much affection for this grandma.
More often than not, I just find her scary and difficult to get along with.
"You don't have to go." Mu Shaoling said cautiously.
Although Zhang Yali would not really harm herself or her children, if she had any plans, it would be really difficult for him to deal with her children.
Mu Shaoling waited for the light to turn green, looking at the intersection ahead, while his fingers kept tapping the steering wheel, calculating.
Zhang Yali might want to plot against him, but he couldn't let her plot against him.
When the red light turned green, Mu Shaoling continued driving to Ruan's house.
After delivering the gifts to Ruan's house, he stayed with the children to eat and played a few games of chess with Old Ruan.
When leaving, Old Man Ruan took Mu Shaoling's hand and said, "Shaoling, when you come next time, please bring Nian Yatou with you. That girl is nice and interesting. I, the old man, miss her.
"
Mu Shaoling looked deeply at Old Ruan and nodded, "Okay, grandpa, I will bring Nian Mu with me next time I come."
"Well, let's go back. It will be difficult to drive if we are late." Old Ruan waved his hand, knowing that there would be heavy snow, so he did not leave them alone.
Mu Shaoling responded, gave Ruan Manwei a few more instructions, and left with the child.
In the villa.
Nian Mu was cutting fruit and waiting for Mu Shaoling and the children to come back.
The snow outside the house was falling heavier and heavier, and Nianmu stood by the window, pursing his lips.
Although Mu Shaoling has good driving skills, such heavy snow...
She shook her head and whispered: "What am I thinking? They must be fine."
But my heart is vaguely uneasy, always afraid that something will happen.
Nianmu didn't turn on the TV, and the atmosphere in the room was very quiet. She stroked her arms and sat on the sofa.
After a while, she heard the sound of a car driving outside the house.
Nian Mu immediately stood up and walked to the entrance. She opened the door. The colorful lights decorated in the garden sparkled, adding a dim and warm color to the entire yard.
The white snow against the dim yellow is very beautiful.
Nian Mu's heart moved slightly when she saw Mu Shaoling walking towards her holding the child's hand.
She curled her lips slightly, and the dim light made everything warm.
Nian Mu wanted to go up to them, hug them, and tell them his worries.
But I still endured it.
Mu Shaoling took the child from far to near, and said with Mu Qiqi in greeting: "You are back."
"Yeah." Mu Shaoling nodded.
"Sister, these are from Grandpa Ruan, take them!" Taotao handed the bag in his hand to Nianmu.
"What is this?" Nian Mu was surprised. Didn't they go to give gifts? Why did they bring something back?
Mu Shaoling said: "It was said that Aunt Manwei made the sausages. The children liked them when they ate, so they asked them to bring some back."
Taotao nodded and looked up at Nianmu, "Sister, the sausage is delicious."
"Okay, have you thanked Aunt Manywei?" Nian Mu touched the child's face, which was a little cold, and she quickly pulled the child into the house.
"Thank you." Taotao smiled and walked into the room.
Nian Mu looked at them and said, "It's getting late. Let's quickly change clothes and wash up."
Mu Shaoling walked into the house and felt that the temperature was not as usual as before, but a little lower, so he asked: "Why has the temperature changed? Is the heating broken?"
"No, maybe it was opened for a long time." Nian Mu quickly replied, the heating was not broken, but she opened the door more frequently while waiting for them to come back.
She was thinking about them more intensely.
Mu Shaoling nodded and urged the child: "It's getting late, go upstairs to wash up and go to bed."
"Okay, Dad." The three children responded together, took off their coats and ran upstairs.
Mu Shaoling looked at Nian Mu and said, "Let's go upstairs too."
"Okay." Nianmu nodded and went upstairs with him.
Mu Shaoling did not go to wash up first, but walked into the bedroom with Nian Mu, took out several red envelopes from his pants pocket, and handed them to Nian Mu.
"This is……"
"This is a red envelope given to you by the Lin family and the Ruan family." Mu Shaoling said.
Nian Mu's face was a little red. It was normal for elders to give red envelopes to younger generations, but she seemed to have no blood relationship with them now. How could they give her red envelopes?
"Keep it, they said the gift you prepared is very thoughtful." Mu Shaoling said.
"You told them that I picked out all the gifts?" Nian Mu was surprised. If he really said that, what would Zhou Qing and Ruan Manwei think?
Mu Shaoling shook his head and said, "No, you have already sent the Lin family's gifts. The Ruan family's gifts, the ones you put inside, I said you asked me to send them to you."
Nian Mu breathed a sigh of relief and took the red envelope, "Thank you."
"Mr. Ruan also said that next time I go there, I will bring you with me. He likes you very much." Mu Shaoling relayed the old man's words.
Nian Mu smiled lightly, their love was not based on family affection.
But she was kind to them on the surface, so she liked herself...
If they knew that they were not clear around Mu Shaoling now, they would definitely fight for their past selves. Don't say they like her, they would hate her.
