Mu Tingxiao looked at the series of question marks on it and curled his lips.
The long finger tapped a few times on the screen: Go to sleep.
Mu Nuannuan on the other side read the two text messages sent by Mu Tingxiao back and forth twice.
The two newsletters add up to only five words, which is really a pity for words.
“Then you call me tomorrow, come back early and I will go to bed.”
Mu Nuannuan sent the text message and only received two words from Mu Tingxiao: “Good night.”
Mu Tingxiao received his mobile phone, took a shower, changed his clothes, and went out to look for Mu Lian.
The reason why he chose to come to Country M at night was not to be discovered by Mu Qingfeng so quickly.
If he chooses to come to country m during the day, Mu Qingfeng will know that he is not going to the company, and then he will naturally know that he has come to country m to look for Mu Lian.
He rushed over overnight. At this moment Mu Qingfeng should have known that he had come to country M. However, it would take more than ten hours to fly from Shanghai to country M. Even if Mu Qingfeng is coming, it will be more than ten hours later. It’s up.
He has more than ten hours to “talk” with Mulian, so he is not in a hurry.
The hall was very quiet, and there was no figure of Mulian.
Mu Tingxiao asked the servant, “Where is your wife?”
The servant respectfully replied: “Madam is resting in the room.”
Mu Tingxiao glanced upstairs. Although he hadn’t been to Mulian’s house for many years, he still remembered Mulian’s room.
He went upstairs, walked to the door of Mulian’s room, raised his hand and knocked on the door: “Auntie.”
The people in the room didn’t react, Mu Tingxiao raised his lips, turned and left without a smile.
After a long time, Mulian came downstairs.
“Ting Xiao, you just looked for me?” Mu Lian apologized: “I accidentally fell asleep in the room. I heard you call me in a daze. I thought I was dreaming.”
“If aunt is tired, she can rest more.”
Mu Tingxiao’s tone was faint, and he couldn’t hear any emotions, but his eyes didn’t leave Mulian.
Mulian seemed to be uncomfortable by him, she smiled reluctantly: “Fortunately, it’s getting older, it’s summer again, it’s always easy to lose energy.”
“The aunt, please pay attention to your body. You still don’t have to wait until your eldest brother gets married, so you don’t have time to hold your grandson. Don’t be like a grandfather.”
Mu Tingxiao’s voice was originally low, but he deliberately slowed down his speech, which sounded a bit gloomy.
Mulian was stunned for a moment, and then turned the topic to Elder Mu: “How is my dad? Is it better?”
Mu Tingxiao tilted his head slightly, his long fingers tapped on the armrest of the sofa beside him, and his words appeared a little careless: “Why don’t you care about him so much, why don’t you go back to China with your uncle? Brother and Xiao Chen is also in China.”
“Your uncle and I are also discussing this matter recently…” Mulian lowered his eyes, not going to see Mu Tingxiao.
The two of them talked about it, and they were all talking about unimportant things.
Mu Tingxiao had been observing Mu Lian and found that every time she looked at him, she would hurriedly glance away and change her sitting position from time to time.
As the eldest lady of the Mu family, Mulian had a special etiquette teacher since she was a child, and she has always been elegant, but her series of behaviors at this time all expressed her nervousness and anxiety.
Mu Tingxiao felt it was time.
Just after Mulian finished speaking, Mu Tingxiao kept talking.
The hall was quiet for a few seconds. When Mulian reached out to touch the water glass in front of him for the third time, Mu Tingxiao said quietly, “Auntie, I’m here this time in Country M. I want to ask you something.”
Mulian seemed to be frightened, and violently withdrew his hand back: “What’s the matter?”
After speaking, she also realized that she was too uncomfortable just now, so she had to reach out to hold the water glass and take a sip to her lips.
Mu Tingxiao directly took out the DNA appraisal report and threw it on the coffee table in front of him.
Mulian glanced at him, then slowly stretched out his hand to get the DNA appraisal report.
Her face turned pale bit by bit, and finally her entire face was panicked. When she spoke again, she couldn’t say a complete sentence incoherently: “This…Ting Xiao…this…”
Mu Tingxiao looked coldly at Mu Lian’s panic, and his tone no longer concealed the gloomy tone: “Aunty, don’t you explain? Everyone knows that you and your uncle were together when they were studying abroad. Eighteen Si Chengyu was born every year, but why is Si Chengyu’s biological father your elder brother.”
In the last two sentences, Mu Tingxiao deliberately increased his tone.
When they were young, Mu Qingfeng and his mother also seemed to be affectionate.
However, when Mu Tingxiao grew up and then looked back on what happened when he was a child, he vaguely felt that the affection was an illusion.
Adults are very good at acting, and very deceptive.
For a long while, Mu Lian couldn’t say a word, and the whole hall was filled with a trembling silence.
Mu Lian calmed his mind and said with a trembling voice, “Cheng Yu… is indeed the son of his brother, but you have to believe that he really loves your mother…”
Mu Tingxiao just sneered and did not speak.
Mulian probably also understood that this kind of words couldn’t convince Mu Tingxiao.
After a pause, Mulian continued: “At that time, I was indeed pregnant, but my child was born prematurely, and died soon after birth. At that time, your father also took over Mu’s family, and he had a lot of entertainment. The thoughtful woman took the opportunity to come in. Although he wanted to dismiss that woman, it was his flesh and blood after all, and my child just died, so he brought the child over to raise…”
This passage sounds flawless.
It is also well-founded.
Mu Tingxiao didn’t say whether he believed it or not. He just asked, “Does Si Chengyu know about this?”
“He…should know it.” Mulian’s expression was a little hesitant.
Mu Tingxiao asked, “My uncle also knows about this?”
Mulian’s expression had returned to normal, and he said softly, “Yes, Ming Huan also knows it.”
Mu Tingxiao narrowed his eyes, “Uncle is not at home, where did he go?”
Mulian smiled and said, “He is holding an art exhibition recently and has been out for more than a month.”
When she finished speaking, a servant came over: “Madam, the meal is ready.”
“Okay, let’s eat first, you should be hungry too.” Mulian stood up and said gently.
She became the wife of the elegant artist again, with no trace of panic on her face.
Mu Tingxiao lowered his eyes and followed her to the restaurant.
At the huge dining table, only the two of them were eating, and neither of them was talking, and the atmosphere was a bit stagnant.
After a while, Mu Tingxiao took the lead to put down his chopsticks: “I’m done.”
When Mu Lian watched Mu Tingxiao leave the restaurant, the expression on his face gradually turned away.
