Mu Tingxiao went to Elder Mu’s room.
The servant guarding at the door, when seeing Mu Tingxiao, he bowed respectfully and shouted, “Master.”
Then, he helped Mu Tingxiao open the door.
As soon as Mu Tingxiao stepped in, the servant closed the door behind him.
Elder Mu was still sitting on the sofa, with his head up and leaning back on the back of the sofa. The TV was playing opera, and the sound was not loud.
Mu Tingxiao approached, only to find that Elder Mu had fallen asleep with his eyes lightly squinted.
Waiting for Mu Tingxiao to make a sound, Elder Mu suddenly opened his eyes again, and there was a moment of turbidity in his always sharp eyes.
He stared at Mu Tingxiao in front of him, as if he had been frightened, his pupils shrank sharply.
But soon, his eyes regained clarity.
“coming.”
His voice was a little dumb, and when he heard it in Mu Tingxiao’s ears, he felt that this didn’t seem to be said to him.
Mu Tingxiao frowned and sat down opposite Mr. Mu, and looked at Mr. Mu carefully.
He thought of how Mu Nuannuan was hesitant to talk to him when he went back before. Now that he saw Mr. Mu look like this, he understood why.
He can be so arrogant in front of Mr. Mu, and he can be tolerated by Mr. Mu, mainly because he thinks Mu Tingxiao is like him, so he naturally loves him a little bit more, so he won’t care about Mu Tingxiao’s arrogance.
Mr. Mu has always been shrewd and wise, and will never show weakness in front of others easily.
Mu Tingxiao was accustomed to the old man’s style of saying that he was one of the best, and saw the obvious exhaustion on his face and the fragility of an elderly person, and he was a little surprised for a while.
Mu Tingxiao frowned tighter, and asked him directly, “What’s wrong with you?”
He and Mr. Mu are two people, neither of them accepts each other, saying that they are grandparents and grandchildren, and more often it is like a friendship between two rivals.
Although Mr. Mu had asked him not to investigate his mother’s affairs, which made him a little alienated from Mr. Mu, he still cared about Mr. Mu in his heart.
Father Mu refused to let him check his mother’s affairs. Naturally, there were reasons, but it would never be because his mother’s affairs had something to do with him.
“Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. After the New Year, I will be one year older, and I will live one day less, so I want to say a few more words to you.” Father Mu looked at him, his eyes confused.
The tone of the old man Mu made Mu Tingxiao a little irritable, and said impatiently, “Say if you have something.”
Elder Mu didn’t change his face because of his tone. Instead, he smiled and said, “Of the younger generation of our Mu family, you and Xiaochen are the most sincere, and you are the ones who have made big things. Too sincere is not enough.”
“Nuan Nuan is young and has a very different personality from yours. She is a good child, but as your wife, I think she is inappropriate…”
Seeing that Mu Tingxiao raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry, Old Man Mu smiled and said, “I haven’t finished speaking yet, what’s the hurry!”
Mu Tingxiao snorted and leaned back, waiting for him to continue.
“I have good patience. I was asked to watch opera with me for an hour, and she was not impatient. She had a right mind and looked beautiful. When I was young, I would be tempted to see such a beautiful girl.”
The first half is okay, but the second half sounds a bit wrong in Mu Tingxiao’s ears.
Mu Tingxiao raised his eyebrows and said with a dazzling face: “Old man, speak well.”
Father Mu frowned, slapped his slap on the sofa, pointed at Mu Tingxiao and said, “You kid, I am your grandfather anyway. When I was a kid, you went to me. I didn’t even hit you after peeing on my body. Now that I have a wife, don’t let me put my eyes on it? Do you have the ability to try talking to her like this in front of Nuan Nuan?”
The old man’s full-fledged look was much pleasing to the eye.
Mu Tingxiao tilted his head, and said with a calm expression: “She is a little girl. If you want to give in, do you still have to compare yourself with other little girls when you get older?”
Elder Mu was so angry that he directly picked up the remote control placed on the coffee table in front of him and threw it at Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Tingxiao was able to avoid it, and was hit by the remote control abruptly, taking a breath of pain.
Mu Tingxiao pressed the place where it was hit by the remote control: “If you can’t tell me, just do it?”
Elder Mu constricted his face, and said in a cold tone that Mu Tingxiao had never heard before, “Tingxiao, An An has lived through this year. What you want to know, as long as I am clear, I will tell you everything. .”
It turned out that the old man had said so much, but it was this sentence that he wanted to say the most.
Mu Tingxiao’s whole body froze there, half a day without a reaction.
The two looked at each other for a long while before Mu Tingxiao sat upright and found his own voice: “Including my mother’s business?”
Father Mu nodded: “Yes, including your mother’s business.”
Mu Tingxiao knew his unique character best, and knew that since Mr. Mu had already promised, he would not regret it.
He pursed his lips, and replied solemnly, “Okay.”
…
It was eleven o’clock when I came out of Mr. Mu, and it was late at night.
The wall lamp in the corridor was turned on, the light was dim, and servants walked by from time to time, calling him low.
“Master.”
“Ok.”
Mu Tingxiao walked forward step by step, very slowly.
In his mother’s affairs, he could be sure that his grandfather was not involved, but he might know something.
And what Grandpa knew was most likely only after the kidnapping happened.
When he returned to the old house with Mu Nuannuan for the first time, his grandfather ordered him not to check his mother again.
Since Grandpa was not a participant, there was only one reason why he prevented Mu Tingxiao from investigating his mother…
Grandpa was afraid that he would find out the truth.
The truth may be an unspeakable secret.
Maybe it’s a secret that can’t be known.
To be more specific, the truth of the matter is so heavy that even a person like Grandpa who has seen big waves in the deceitful shopping mall can hardly bear it.
And now, Grandpa is willing to tell him the truth.
So what irritated Grandpa?
When Mu Tingxiao came back to his senses, he found that he had already reached the door of the room.
“Master, still asleep?”
Another servant passed by.
Mu Tingxiao glanced back at the servant.
There are many people in Mu’s family and many servants.
But what does so many people have to do with him?
Looking back, he looked at the door in front of him.
Only the woman in this room gave him a real sense of peace of mind.
He pushed the door in, and Mu Nuannuan walked over immediately.
“How? What did Grandpa tell you? Don’t you think he is weird too?”
Obviously she had been waiting for him to come back, so she kept twittering as soon as he walked in.
Mu Tingxiao just walked into the room without speaking.
Mu Nuannuan looked up to see his expression, and found that he had gone to Mr. Mu’s room and came back, which also became a bit strange.
