When the old lady came back to her senses, she subconsciously wiped the corners of her tearful eyes with a handkerchief.
Then he smiled at Muzi and said:
"Oh, it's okay. I just suddenly remembered some other things. Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you."
That's because the old lady remembered some bitter memories about her abandonment of Zhang Ling.
Some people also think negatively that Zhang Ling will probably not forgive her.
So the old lady felt regretful and sad for her decision.
This is what Muzi said when he met the old lady.
It’s hard to ask further.
I even feel that the old lady is emotionally unstable now.
It's not appropriate to stay and talk about things.
I guess the old lady needs to be alone for a while most now.
So he thoughtfully stood up and said:
"Old madam, I'm full! Thank you for your hospitality today. I'm lucky enough to have such a good meal."
Perhaps Muzi had preconceived the idea that the old lady did not want outsiders to be present.
So I felt that the old lady was obviously in a perfunctory mood and responded with a smile:
"Oh, really? Then I hope that if Miss Muzi is free in the future, you are welcome to come to our home as a guest and have dinner together."
Muzi smiled modestly and said:
"If the old lady doesn't despise the junior, because she is young and ignorant, she will accidentally disturb you and cause unnecessary trouble to your life. Then the junior will definitely come often."
The old lady waved her hands and said with a smile:
"I most like to stay with young people who are as elegant and easy-going as Miss Muzi. In this way, it seems that I have returned to my youth..."
While talking, the old lady saw a happy smile on Muzi's face.
While speaking, he slowly stood up from the dining table.
Then he gestured with a somewhat puzzled look on his face:
"Muzi, what are you..."
Muzi then glanced at the time on his watch and responded:
"Oh, time flies so fast! It's been so long in the blink of an eye. I wonder if the old lady has any other important instructions?"
The old lady shook her head subconsciously and asked:
"Miss Muzi, does she have to leave for something important?"
Muzi said with a somewhat bitter smile:
"I don't dare! I don't dare to say in front of the old lady that I have any important things to deal with. It's just that my Zhihua Technology has some chores that I need to handle in person."
This is a flattering statement.
It's also true.
The scale of Zhihua Technology.
In the face of vast capital, it is just a small fight.
The old lady liked Muzi's statement very much.
So she stood up slowly with a somewhat reluctant expression and said:
"Since Miss Muzi has something to deal with, I can't stay any longer. Mother Ning!"
After hearing this, Ning's mother hurriedly came to the old lady and respectfully called "Madam".
The old lady said:
"I suddenly feel physically and mentally exhausted. I want to go back to the house and take a nap. Could you please send Miss Muzi off for me?"
Ning’s mother quickly came to the old lady’s side with a worried and nervous look, supported her and asked:
"Madam is sick! Or I'll call your doctor to come over and take a look."
The old lady looked at Ning’s mother and waved her hand and said:
"No need! What about me? I'm just getting old. I was a little happy to see Miss Muzi today, so I just ate a little more."
A feeling of fullness is often the easiest thing to make people feel sleepy.
This reason is also the most logical.
Naturally, she can cover up her related negative emotions from Zhang Ling.
Mother Ning felt much more relieved now.
After hearing this, Muzi did not forget to retort:
"Who said that? I think the old lady has a strong body, a rosy complexion, and is still very young..."
The old lady smiled sheepishly and said:
"Miss Muzi, you are really good at talking!"
Muzi went on to say:
"Tell me to take advantage of the old lady. I hope the old lady doesn't mind!"
The old lady asked curiously:
"What? Say it!"
Muzi said with a mysterious smile:
"Old madam, look! If we walk on the street together, strangers will definitely think that the old madam is my sister."
The old lady laughed happily for a while after hearing this.
Then he stopped his smile and said:
"Okay! Miss Muzi, stop saying nice things."
Muzi said with a somewhat stubborn expression:
"No way? Old lady, you believe me. What I say is true."
The old lady continued:
"Really? If I feel up to it another day, I'll invite Miss Muzi to go shopping together..."
Muzi said "Okay" three times in a row without waiting for the old lady to finish speaking.
The old lady said "uh" in surprise.
Muzi continued:
"I have long wanted to go shopping with the old lady. Then let's make an agreement with the old lady."
The old lady nodded in agreement and then deliberately said with a bit of worry:
"Then if we don't encounter a situation like Miss Muzi by then, how will Miss Muzi end up?"
Muzi showed a confident smile and said:
"If that happens, it only means that they are blind and do not appreciate the beauty of the old lady."
The old lady appreciated Muzi's answer from the bottom of her heart.
Regardless of whether what Muzi said will happen or not.
Muzi didn't suffer any loss.
When the old lady looked at Muzi's back as he walked away.
She couldn't help but said with some emotion:
"What a nice young man."
To be honest, the old lady has never thought about Mu Ziruo or Li Xiang.
She really planned to make Muzi her son-in-law.
Although the senior engineer Li Xiang looked pretty good.
But in the eyes of the old lady, he is still worse than Muzi.
What is the main difference?
I'm afraid it's the unique elegance that Muzi exudes.
This scent is something that the old lady has always been fascinated by.
In other words, I think it was because Zhang Pengtian exuded a strong sense of elegance that the old lady was attracted to.
That's why he is obsessed with it, regardless of his family's objections.
I chose to be with Zhang Pengtian secretly.
Maybe Zhang Pengtian has been eroded by the years.
As a result, the elegant aura in him was gradually being worn away by the ordinary life.
So every time the old lady saw Zhang Pengtian, she felt like she was being forced into a routine.
The impulse and passion of my youth have long since disappeared.
certainly!
This is another reason why the old lady subconsciously likes Muzi.
Dang Ning's mother sent Li Xiang to the gate as requested by the old lady.
Farewell.
Mother Ning also specially gave Li Xiang two fish.
Each fish weighed almost as much as the fish just eaten on the table.
It was said that the old lady had previously ordered that two fish she caught must be given as a gift.
Li wanted to recall the relevant plot before bidding farewell to the old lady.
I didn’t see the old lady telling anyone about sending fish alone.
Then he came up with a creepy conjecture.
That is, all the details of today's arranged meeting are under the control of the old lady.
If the guess is true.
That is enough to prove that the old lady is unpredictable.
About the old lady’s act of sending fish.
Muzi thought this was a hint from the old lady to him.
One is about the profit from the cooperative old lady’s plan to give Li Xiang two fish;
First, in the eyes of the old lady, his Zhihua Technology and the old patriarch of the Li family are like two fishes in his hand.
The old lady will fish if she thinks about it.
Fish also seems to have only two outcomes:
A delicacy that goes straight to the old lady’s table;
An old lady would take it out as a favor and give it away.
Maybe there is a destiny.
The old lady will put the caught fish back into the water and continue to raise them.
However, during the time Muzi spent with the old lady.
Muzi did not see the old lady releasing the fish she caught.
So Muzi did not consider this situation.
Think of this.
Li Xiang accepted the two fish generously.
He also said some words of thanks before turning around and leaving.
That moment.
There was a smile of success on his face.
It felt like everything that happened when he met the old lady was the result of his calculations.
And this result made Muzi very satisfied.
He did not forget Ji Muzi's identity and sent a message to Li Xiang.
He said everything went well during the meeting, which reassured Li Xiang.
at this time.
Li Xiang just used a little trick to drive away the somewhat annoying Mr. Ma.
Suddenly a message came on his cell phone.
So without thinking much, I took out my phone and checked.
When scanning the screen, it is confirmed that it is a message from "Li Xiang".
He was a little flustered and quickly put away his cell phone.
unexpectedly.
It's too late.
Because he heard Zhang Ling asked in confusion:
"Where did another Li Xiang appear?"
"this……"
Li Xiangzheng was so nervous that he didn't know how to explain?
Zhang Ling seemed to have thought of something and continued:
"Oh, I see. You are probably sending yourself messages for fun when you have nothing to do."
Li Xiang happily responded with three "yes"s and then continued:
"I'm just sending myself messages for fun. Of course! It's not just for fun."
Zhang Ling said with a bit of curiosity:
"Then you've got a trick! Tell me, tell me, how did you get the trick?"
Li wanted to say:
"I just want to use it this way. When the alarm clock reminds me that there are still important things to do, I have to do it quickly."
In fact, it was Zhen Li who often used his mobile phone to issue orders and tasks to him.
The key is that many of Li's tasks are difficult to complete.
He gets very nervous and gets a headache every time he hears the notification bell.
So over time, his nerves developed a conditioned reflex.
"Alarm clock!" Zhang Ling said with some confusion, "Don't the phone itself have the alarm clock reminder function you mentioned?"
Li Xiang explained:
"Alarm clocks do have the reminder function you mentioned. But alarm clocks are far less motivating than phone message reminders. Many times when the alarm clock rings, people will subconsciously turn it off. And then nothing happens."
Alarm clock reminder.
It is generally used when people get up in the morning.
Many people have developed the habit of turning it off over the years.
Therefore, over time, people subconsciously do not take the sound of the alarm clock seriously.
Zhang Ling nodded with some empathy when she heard this.
Li Xiang continued:
"Maybe I only have a strong sense of tension and importance for phone messages. Only this method can force me to have the motivation to do things according to the instructions of the message."
today's society.
People attach great importance to phone messages.
Even hearing the phone message prompt tone will quickly affect people's various emotions.
Either nervous, happy, or scared...
This is far more impressive and motivating than an alarm clock reminder.
Zhang Ling couldn't help but admire Li Xiang's explanation.
You know she is usually quite self-disciplined.
But when using an alarm clock to remind you to do something important.
It also often happens that if you turn it off casually, nothing will happen again.
So she happily said that she would also learn from Li Xiang and try this novel reminder method in the future.
Li Xiang thought Zhang Ling believed what he said.
The crisis is over.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ling went on to mention it with some curiosity:
"If that's the case, does that mean you have to leave to deal with something important again?"
An awkward smile instantly appeared on Li Xiang's face.
If you say no.
Then those statements he just made are pure nonsense.
Maybe his image in Zhang Ling's mind would also be seriously affected.
If you say yes.
But is there anything important that needs to be dealt with urgently now?
When his eyes accidentally saw stains on Zhang Ling's clothes.
So he suddenly explained:
"Yes, yes. But this matter was not originally planned to be completed by me alone."
Zhang Ling asked with great interest:
"What is it? Who else do you want to find to complete it?"
He said this with obvious jealousy.
Li Xiang smiled and said:
"Who else could it be? Of course it's you!"
Zhang Ling said a little strangely:
"You said it was me?"
Li Xiang continued to explain:
"You see, it's rare for us to come to such a far away place together. I suggest we join hands to visit the local scenic spots and buy some souvenirs for uncle and the others. What do you think?"
Zhang Ling thought for a moment and said:
"Okay! That's up to you. But should we find a local to be our tour guide? I just don't know..."
The reason why she agreed.
Because she had heard that playing is the best litmus test for the relationship between lovers.
Because during the game, you can see the other person's character and nature to the greatest extent.
You can also see the other person's status in each other's minds.
And whether two people who love each other are really suitable to be together.
Obviously, such an opportunity has come.
Li Xiang smiled and waved his hand and said:
"No need! I've already made relevant guides before coming here. I'm afraid I will know more about the interesting places in the area than the locals."
Zhang Ling looked at Li with some surprise and wanted to say:
"Oh, is it so?"
It is understood that generally the people who take the initiative to make travel guides are women.
She didn't expect that Li Xiang thought of it in advance and did it.
Such thoughtfulness.
Of all the men of the opposite sex she knows, there are probably not many men who can do it.
Li Xiang then introduced several distinctive local scenic spots in a eloquent manner.
Just finished the third one.
Zhang Ling said impatiently:
"Stop talking! I want to go to all the places you just mentioned. Especially the second sky garden you mentioned. I really want to know how they built a garden in the sky?"
Li Xiang was overjoyed and said:
"Okay! According to the plan I made before, we'd better go first..."
You know, he still had a headache before.
How to invite Zhang Ling to go out for a walk together?
I even practiced the art of talking about at least three reasons in private.
But he never expected that he would successfully invite Zhang Ling in this way.
Zhang Ling gave no objection.
He happily urged Li Xiang not to waste time and leave quickly.
Zhang Ling was slightly disappointed after visiting the Sky Garden.
The hanging garden here.
In fact and legend, it was built by Nebuchadnezzar II of the Neo-Babylonian Kingdom in the 6th century BC near the city of Babylon.
The construction concept of the hanging garden built for his homesick princess Amyitis is similar.
The only difference is that the irrigation system here does not have slaves constantly pushing the handles connected to the gears.
Instead, water pumps, sprinkler irrigation and other technologies represented by modern technology are used.
That's why she, who is used to modern technology, shook her head and muttered:
"It's better to go directly to the hanging garden on the west side of Ishda Gate in the north of New Babylon City. After all, there is a rich historical and cultural heritage there."
She thought she had spoken quietly enough.
But what she didn't expect was that Li Xiang was saying:
"Zhang Ling, you must be disappointed with the modern antique buildings here."
Zhang Ling said with a bit of dissatisfaction:
"You still know!"
Li Xiang quickly explained:
"Oh, to be honest, I was very disappointed after reading it! It felt like I had read a fake guide before."
Zhang Ling looked at Li Xiang with her resentful eyes and said nothing.
Li Xiang suggested with great enthusiasm:
"Let's go to the next scenic spot, West Lake, together."
West Lake!
Just by hearing the name, you can guess that it is probably an attraction modeled after the West Lake in Hangzhou.
Zhang Ling instantly lost interest in continuing shopping.
So he shook his head and refused and said:
"No, it can't happen. Let's go back."
Li Xiang asked unwillingly:
"why?"
Zhang Ling explained:
"I don't know what happened? I suddenly felt very tired. I want to go back to the hotel to rest. How about we..."
Maybe it was a deliberate arrangement by God.
So it also gave Zhang Ling the idea of taking a break.
Presumably the purpose was to arrange a special meeting for mother and daughter.
