Mr. Mu was lying on a wicker chair in the garden. On the low table next to him, there was a cup of fine Dahongpao.
The old man loves to drink tea, and he is addicted to tea as much as his life.
When Ruan Bai walked in, he saw Mr. Mu lying on the wicker chair a little sluggishly.
His old face was covered with wrinkles, and he was looking steadily at the flowers and plants on the side with a dull and mournful expression.
Ever since he learned the sad news of Mu Shaoling's murder, Mr. Mu's already unhealthy body shriveled up like a plant that had been drained of all its moisture.
"Grandpa, are you looking for me?" Ruan Bai walked gently behind the old man and began to massage his shoulders and neck with his hands.
Mr. Mu turned around and saw his grandson coming over. He smiled kindly at her: "Xiao Bai, grandpa came to you today to ask about things in your company, and... I want to ask you if you have met
The one you like?"
He knew that Ruan Bai was very capable. With a weak woman, he had propped up the huge T Group, and in two years he had turned around the company that had been in ruins. T Group's performance in the past two years not only did not decline, but actually soared.
Several points.
Mr. Mu is very satisfied with this outstanding grandson-in-law.
However, the rumors in the company naturally reached Mr. Mu's ears.
How can an old man tolerate such a disgraceful thing happening if he has a good reputation throughout his life?
In fact, he had wanted to talk to Ruan Bai for a long time, but because she had been busy with company affairs, and seeing his grandson's daughter-in-law looking exhausted every day, he couldn't bear to blame her.
Today he couldn't help but ask Ruan Bai these things, just to see her attitude.
Mr. Mu knew that his extremely capable eldest grandson was no longer around. Based on his own selfish motives, of course he wanted his grandson-in-law to take good care of the T Group and raise several great-grandsons.
But Ruan Bai is in her prime, beautiful and capable, so he cannot selfishly force her to stay in the Mu family for the rest of her life.
"Grandpa, did you hear some rumors from somewhere?"
Ruan Bai frowned slightly, but the strength of the massage for the old man was still moderate: "No matter where you heard the news, I can tell you that they are all false. I only love Shao Ling in my life,
Regardless of the past, present, or future. Don't worry, even if Shao Ling is really gone, I will never marry again. It is enough to have three children by my side."
Mr. Mu sighed, and then said in a long and sincere voice: "Grandpa is not blaming you now. I also know that I can't help you by forcing you to stay in the Mu family, but now the only supporter of the Mu family is you. Ruicheng
The child has a loose nature and is quite talented in art, but he is not a business person at all. His mother, Xiufen, is quite capable in business, but because of the evil obstacles created by my son, her character is a little distorted.
, he is not suitable for running a company at all. Grandpa really has no choice!"
Ruan Bai couldn't help but recall Cai Xiu's gloomy character.
That year when she gave birth to Taotao, that woman actually sent someone to secretly try to harm her.
Fortunately, Ruicheng arrived in time. Being a step too late might have resulted in serious consequences of killing two people.
As if he knew what Ruan Bai was thinking, Mr. Mu shook his head and was so immersed in the past that he couldn't extricate himself: "Actually, when Xiufen first married into the Mu family, she was really virtuous and elegant. It's all Mu Zhen's fault. I will teach you how to be a good daughter-in-law."
She has become a resentful woman. As a father-in-law, I really owe her... Xiaobai, for the sake of grandpa, don't argue with her. Grandpa is getting older, and the most important thing now is family harmony.
Mu..."
Ruan Bai did not shake his head or nod, but said lightly: "Grandpa, I am not that troublesome. As long as others don't cause trouble for me, I will not ask for trouble on my own."
Her meaning is very clear.
Mr. Mu knew that Ruan Bai was a kind-hearted child, so he felt even more guilty towards her: "You are a good child, but the Mu family can't help you."
"Grandpa, now that the company is basically stable, I want to go to Moscow to find Shaoling." Ruan Bai hesitated again and again and told Mr. Mu of his decision.
Mr. Mu was not surprised, but his eyes were more profound and complicated: "My child, just go ahead and do whatever you want to do. Although I don't believe that Shaoling will disappear so easily, the truth of the matter is... If
If you insist on going, grandpa has some close friends there, and I will ask them to take more care of you when the time comes."
…
Lin's living room.
After learning that Ruan Bai was going to Russia, Zhou Qing knew that his daughter was stubborn and no one could change the decision she made. He could only get up early in the morning to pack her things.
While stuffing various clothes and supplies into Ruan Bai's suitcase, she warned her in a long-winded way: "Although it is already May, the weather in Moscow is still a bit cold, so you must wear more thick clothes.
Bring two pieces. If you don't have enough clothes, just spend money to buy them there. Don't freeze yourself. Also, this bottle of facial cream was specially made by my mother according to your skin. If you have dry skin, you will be more likely to use it later.
Apply some; these small items are prepared for little Taotao. The child's skin is very tender and prone to allergies. You have to take good care of my grandson... By the way, Lin Lin is learning Russian. Ask her to accompany you.
Russia, you will also have a reliable translator then..."
Ruan Bai looked at the busy Zhou Qing, couldn't help but walked forward, and hugged Zhou Qing gently: "Mom, thank you, really."
Zhou Qing is really a loving and qualified mother.
The things she has done for herself in the past two years, no matter how cold-hearted she is, will be completely moved.
What's more, Ruan Bai is the kind of person who has a soft heart. She sees Zhou Qing's love for her in her eyes and remembers it in her heart.
Zhou Qing was delighted by her daughter's hug.
She was not good at expressing her love in words, so she chuckled and said, "You silly kid, why are you so polite to mom? I'll go to the room to see if there are anything else to pack. You sit on the sofa and rest for a while.
"
After saying that, she hurriedly went to the room on the second floor.
Ruan Bai looked at his mother's hurried back, laughed a little, and began to slowly pack his suitcase.
At this time, Lin Ning, who was somewhat drunk, suddenly walked over from outside.
She seemed to be in a trance, and she was stumbling when she walked, as if she was trapped in a hallucination and unable to extricate herself.
There was a deep dark red mark on Lin Ning's neck, which was very eye-catching.
Ruan Bai knew people well and naturally knew that the shocking bruises on her neck were kiss marks.
But the two of them were naturally at odds with each other, and she didn't want to talk to each other at all.
But the other party came over automatically, with a trace of schadenfreude and resentment flashing in his eyes, and then started talking nonsense: "Hey, Ruan Kexing, hahahahaha, do you know how Mu Shaoling died?
