Nian Mu felt warm in her heart. Her caring words were like parents caring for their children at home.
"Everything is fine. Although I have to take on one more job, I am still busy." She said, finished the soup, and then picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and eat.
The dishes were all prepared by Zhou Qing, some home-cooked dishes for entertaining guests.
Nianmu tasted it slowly. Although it was not particularly delicious, it was the taste of home, a taste she missed particularly.
Zhou Qing and Lin Wenzheng exchanged a look, and then asked: "By the way, Xiao Nian, where do you live now? I'll ask Si to take you back later."
Nian Mu thought of Mu Shaoling. If she asked the driver to take her back, her current address would be known.
She shook her head and said, "No need, Aunt Lin, I'll just go back later."
"It's cold here, and there are fewer drivers working at night. It's better to ask the driver to take you back. Don't refuse. We're all in City A. How far can it be?" Zhou Qing didn't allow her to refuse.
Nianmu thought for a while and had no choice but to agree.
She definitely couldn't let the driver take her back to the villa. She could only wait for dinner and walk to Amul's side to see how he was doing recently.
Seeing that she agreed, Zhou Qing continued to ask tentatively: "By the way, Xiaonian, I haven't heard you talk about your love life for so long. Are you in love?"
Nian Mu Jia Cai's hands froze for a moment. They were going to send her back. Now when they asked about their relationship, they wanted to know if she and Mu Shaoling were together.
Not wanting to deceive them or find someone else to act in the future, she shook her head and said, "I'm so busy with work now, how can I have time to fall in love?"
"Why don't you have time? Work is important, but love is also very important. Love is the spice of life. As long as you find the right one, he will understand and support your work. When Lao Lin was pursuing me before,
, is also very busy, but I can understand, so his work and family
, all taken into account very well." Zhou Qing put down his chopsticks and held Nian Mu's hand, "Xiao Nian, there are many outstanding single young people in Lao Lin's unit. How about I introduce them to you? If you like them, I will talk to you.
Your Uncle Lin will help you match them up. Girls, you should fall in love while you are young, and don’t just focus on work."
Nian Mu listened to her earnest words. She was so concerned about her love life because she was worried that she would get involved in Mu Shaoling's marriage.
If she refuses, Zhou Qing will definitely be worried.
It felt like being pushed to the shelf. Although Nian Mu felt uncomfortable, he still nodded and agreed: "Okay."
"That's great." Zhou Qing smiled with satisfaction and put vegetables into her bowl, "Eat more, you have worked hard during this time."
Nian Mu ate the food in silence, feeling quite unhappy, even though he knew that they invited him over for dinner this time because of Mu Shaoling.
But, they are also doing it for themselves.
Nianmu ignored his inner feelings and finished the meal with them.
When they were about to finish their meal, Lin Wenzheng's cell phone rang aside. Zhou Qing immediately asked, "Is it your friend in the United States who has sent the message?"
Lin Wenzheng took a look and nodded: "Yes, but he doesn't have time to help us find Xiaobai now. He has to wait until tomorrow."
Nianmu looked at them, looking for Xiaobai?
"Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, what are you..."
Zhou Qing nodded, turned around, and explained to her with a smile, "Our daughter is Shaoling's wife, Xiaobai. She has been going to the United States for a long time. She keeps saying she won't come back, and she is usually busy.
We tried to contact her but couldn't, so we asked friends in the United States to help us contact her. Isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? If she really doesn't come back, Lao Lin and I will go through the formalities and then go to the United States to spend the holidays with her.
A new year.”
Nian Mu frowned slightly when he heard this.
Ruan Bai is abroad. Mu Shaoling forged the news. How could they find it?
"Do you know where she is?" Nian Mu asked tentatively.
Lin Wenzheng nodded and explained: "Last month we received a package from Xiaobai from abroad. There was an address on it. We figured that Xiaobai lived here, so we wanted to ask someone to contact this child.
After losing her memory, she loved freedom so much that we often couldn’t find her when she was traveling everywhere.”
Listening to Lin Wenzheng's explanation, Nian Mu said nothing.
Should she remind Mu Shaoling?
If their people found out that the address was not where Ruan Bai lived, and Mu Shaoling didn't take precautions in advance, how would he explain it to his elders?
If you tell them that Ruan Bai is dead, they will definitely be heartbroken.
Nian Mu took a bite of rice carelessly, planning to tell Mu Shaoling about it.
She didn't want to see the second elder sad because of the news of her death.
After dinner, Nian Mu asked to leave.
The two old men did not keep her.
Lin Wenzheng arranged for his driver to see Nian Mu off.
When the driver asked for the address, Nian Mu told him the address of his previous apartment. The driver nodded, followed the navigation, and sent Nian Mu to the door of the apartment.
"Ms. Nian, please open the door and I'll take you in," the driver said as he looked at a community gate about to brush the door lock.
"No, I'll just walk back by myself, and it's getting late. You can get off work early." Nian Mu insisted on getting off the car.
When the driver saw this, he didn't insist on sending her in, opened the door and let her get out of the car.
After Nianmu got off the car, he walked to the entrance of the community, swiped the key card, and then walked into the community.
Since Amul came back, she has taken this key card with her to make it easier for her to come back.
She looked back and saw the driver slowly reversing the car. It seemed that she always carried the key card with her.
The driver didn't leave immediately after she got off the bus because he wanted to see if she lived here. He didn't leave until he saw her swiping her card in. He only left after confirming that she lived here.
Presumably, he will report to Lin Wenzheng, and then Lin Wenzheng will find someone to investigate the community information here to see if it has anything to do with Mu Shaoling.
Being doubted by her biological parents, Nian Mu shook her head helplessly. Although she understood their approach, she still felt uncomfortable.
Nianmu continued walking to the apartment, planning to chat with Amul for a while before going back.
After taking the elevator upstairs, Nianmu opened the door of the apartment and saw that the apartment was dark and quiet.
"Amul?" Nianmu called.
No one answered.
Nianmu turned on the light and frowned when he saw the ashtray on the coffee table.
There were a lot of cigarette butts on it, and it seemed that Amul smoked them all.
Nianmu took out his cell phone and called Amul. The phone rang for ten times, but no one answered.
