Along the way, wherever they went, they were all servants and bodyguards, and they would stop to say hello to Mu Nuannuan and Mu Tingxiao.
Even the arc of bending is the same, neatly arranged in a row, clearly well-trained.
Mu Nuannuan was secretly frightened, and her complexion became a bit solemn.
The Mu’s old house is very large, and the two of them passed through the front yard, walked through the hall to the back yard.
When Mr. Mu was old and Xijing, he moved to live in a quiet backyard.
When he reached the door of Mr. Mu, Mu Tingxiao asked the servant who was standing at the door: “Grandpa is inside?”
“Yes.” The servant saw Mu Tingxiao, with a hint of joy on his face, gently pushed the door in, and said carefully: “Old gentleman, young master is back.”
The opening of the door was very small, just enough to accommodate the servant standing there. Mu Nuannuan could not see inside, only heard a slightly older voice sounding: “Let them in when you come.”
The servant turned his head and nodded slightly at Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Tingxiao held Mu Nuannuan’s hand tightly: “Let’s go in.”
Mu Nuannuan was taken into the room by Mu Tingxiao.
The heating in the room is sufficient, there is a smell of ink and tea that seems to be absent. The furnishings in the room are simple, a row of bookshelves, a desk, and some tea sets.
Mr. Mu is dressed in a Chinese tunic suit, holding the fault in his hand, and standing in front of the desk writing calligraphy. Although he is over seventy, he is vigorous and standing upright, revealing an air of calmness and calmness.
Mu Tingxiao shouted, “Grandpa.”
Elder Mu raised his head, and met Mu Nuannuan’s gaze, who had been staring at him. He didn’t say a word, but he was not angry.
Mu Nuannuan lowered his eyes slightly, and Mu Tingxiao silently pulled Mu Nuannuan behind him.
Mu Tingxiao’s protective gesture fell in the eyes of Old Man Mu, causing him to snorted, “Who is this little girl?”
Mu Tingxiao raised his eyebrows: “The person you want to meet.”
His tone can be said to be a bit aggressive, making the old man blow his beard and stare, throwing the brush in his hand: “Who are you again?”
Mu Nuannuan: “…”
Does this old man have Alzheimer’s?
The thought in her heart just came out, and the old man over there looked at her nonchalantly, and said: “Who scolds for dementia?”
Mu Nuannuan was taken aback by what he said.
This surname Mu has the ability to interpret people’s hearts?
However, the look of Old Man Mu staring at her was not so intimidating, but there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Mu Nuannuan smiled: “There is no such thing, I just think Grandpa is very energetic.”
These words were very useful to Mr. Mu. He squinted at Mu Nuannuan for a few seconds: “Come here.”
Mu Nuannuan turned her head and looked at Mu Tingxiao at each other. Mu Tingxiao gave a relieved look and gave her a light push on her back to signal her to pass.
Although the conversation between Mu Tingxiao and Elder Mu just now was a bit inexplicable, she could also feel that the relationship between Mu Tingxiao and Elder Mu was good, and it could even be said to be close.
Mu Nuannuan walked over obediently, corrected his expression, and said seriously: “Grandpa, I am Mu Tingxiao’s wife, Mu Nuannuan.”
Elder Mu didn’t speak immediately, but he looked at her calmly, and Mu Nuannuan was a little nervous when he looked at her.
Elder Mu seemed to be aware of her anxiety, with a smile on his face similar to the success of a child’s mischief, and said with a smile: “Well, he looks pretty, sit down.”
Mu Nuannuan was taken aback for a while, and then wanted to turn her head to look at Mu Tingxiao, but he was glared at by Elder Mu: “Look at what that stinky kid is doing, let you sit down!”
“…” Well, she sits down.
However, when someone called Mu Tingxiao “Smelly Boy”, she actually felt very happy.
Mu Nuannuan sat down beside Mr. Mu.
Seeing this, Mu Tingxiao also came over, and was about to sit down next to Mu Nuannuan, only to be kicked by Mr Mu on Mu Tingxiao’s leg: “Who let you sit!”
The kick of the old man Mu was fast and steady, and the strength was obviously not light.
Mu Nuannuan felt pain when she looked at it, but Mu Tingxiao’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, obviously because of the pain.
“Grandpa…” Mu Tingxiao’s tone was helpless: “The first time I took your grandson-in-law home, can’t you give me some face?”
“I give you face, who will give me face?” Mr. Mu was obviously more angry than him: “You do the math yourself, do you remember when you went back to the old house to see me last time?”
Mu Tingxiao fell silent after hearing this.
There was a suffocating silence in the room.
Mu Nuannuan vaguely understood what the conversation between Mu Tingxiao and Old Man Mu just now meant.
Mu Tingxiao suspected that Mu’s family was involved in the case of his mother back then, so he rejected Mu’s family and refused to return to Mu’s family.
Today is the first time that Mu Tingxiao has brought her back to her old house. She shouldn’t be talking about these two grandparents.
At this moment, the door was pushed open again.
The person who came in was Mu Tingxiao’s father, Mu Qingfeng.
Mu Qingfeng first called Mr. Mu: “Dad.”
Then, he turned his head to look at Mu Tingxiao: “Someone called me before that Tingxiao was back. I still don’t believe me. Why didn’t I tell me in advance when I came back? I will eat at home today and live in the evening. At home, your room has always been cleaned by a servant, so you can live directly.”
Elder Mu immediately snorted: “Why don’t you keep him! Let him go!”
…
In the end, Mu Tingxiao and Mu Nuannuan stayed.
During the meal, several people were sitting at the huge dining table with a row of servants guarding them, which made Mu Nuannuan very uncomfortable.
After dinner, Mu Qingfeng left beforehand, and Mu Nuannuan and Mu Tingxiao accompanied Mr. Mu back to the room.
The servant boiled water and handed tea to the side. Father Mu took out a red packet and handed it to Mu Nuannuan.
Mu Nuannuan didn’t take it immediately.
Elder Mu stared at her: “What? Do you dare not accept the meeting gift given by my father?”
Mu Nuannuan knew where Mu Tingxiao’s arrogant temperament came from.
“Thank you, grandpa.” After Mu Nuannuan took it over, she felt that the red envelope was very thin. She guessed it might be something like a check.
No matter what was inside, Mu Nuannuan felt a little surprised.
Before coming, she always thought that she would be embarrassed by the old man, but she didn’t expect that old man Mu would accept her so easily.
After drinking tea with Mr. Mu for a while, Mu Nuannuan was sent back to the room to rest.
The room was used by Mu Tingxiao when he was a teenager. After the events of that year, he went abroad. After returning, he didn’t return to the old house and lived directly in the villa halfway up the mountain.
The furnishings in the room still have traces of the life of a teenager, posters of basketball stars, robots, books, game consoles…
