When Zhang Yali heard her son say "We have broken up", she was so happy.
But on the surface, Zhang Yali still looked very heartbroken about losing Ruan Bai, her prospective daughter-in-law: "Why did we break up properly? Is there any serious conflict that cannot be resolved?"
Ruan Bai turned to leave.
Zhang Yali acted too much and stopped Ruan Bai: "Xiaobai, I beg you, auntie...don't tell the two old men about this in advance, they can't take this blow physically."
Mu Shaoling looked up at the door where Ruan Bai's figure disappeared.
At the same time, another pair of deep eyes in the room also looked at the door where Ruan Bai's figure disappeared, and then Zhang Xingan's gaze turned to his cousin, Mu Shaoling.
Zhang Yali turned her back to the three juniors in the study, clenched her fingers, and turned her head to give Guo Yinyin an encouraging look.
Guo Yinyin got the cue, went to pour a glass of water and put it next to Mu Shaoling's left hand: "Brother Shaoling, drink some water."
Mu Shaoling stopped what he was doing, closed his eyes, raised his hand and squeezed the space between his brows, and ignored everyone, including Guo Yinyin, who was beside him who was flamboyant and courteous.
Zhang Xingan got up, stood in front of the window sill and lit a cigarette, held the cigarette in one hand, and pushed open the window with the other, glanced at the direction of the garden downstairs inadvertently.
The woman who was called "Xiaobai" by her aunt Zhang Yali just now went to the garden.
Although the distance was relatively far, he could clearly see Xiaobai's face.
As a veteran in the field of love, Zhang Xing'an understood that the seven words that his cousin Mu Shaoling uttered just now were probably imperceptibly mixed with ice knives, which cut this little white with a dull pain in his heart.
Zhang Xingan listened to his aunt chatting with Guo Yinyin about the family affairs. Apparently, his aunt was just pretending. She really liked Guo Yinyin, the delicate daughter-in-law of a rich family, and was willing to accept her.
The Xiaobai at the bottom is actually despised.
After smoking a cigarette, Zhang Xingan extinguished the cigarette butt, raised his head and said, "Auntie, I'm leaving first, and I have an appointment for a drink with some friends tonight."
Guo Yinyin let go of Zhang Yali's arm, "Auntie, brother Xing'an and I will leave first."
"I often come here to play. Auntie still has a lot of skin care questions to ask you." Zhang Yali said, looking at her son, "Shaoling, Xing'an and Yinyin are leaving, why don't you go out to see them off?"
Mu Shaoling picked up his mobile phone and made a call, frowning seriously while talking about the business, while waving his hands to his cousin and Guo Yinyin, meaning goodbye.
"You don't need to send it off, aunt, remember the family gathering on the weekend."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xingan asked his aunt to stop, and turned to leave.
...
Standing at the stairs, Zhang Yali watched the two young people leave the living room on the first floor of the old house.
Turning around and going back to the study, Zhang Yali waited patiently for her son to finish talking on the phone, before she said, "Since you broke up with Xiaobai, she..."
"We have a ten-year age difference. I have regarded her as a little sister since I was a child. If you want her to be your daughter-in-law, I'm afraid you will have to find another son." Mu Shaoling didn't give his mother any chance to match.
Looking at her son who was making another phone call, Zhang Yali was suddenly so angry that she lost her temper.
Zhang Yali asked herself, what sin did she do in her previous life to give birth to such a cold-faced son who never knew how to follow his mother's wishes?
Twenty minutes ago, she kept saying that she had broken up with that Ruan Bai! What's going on with this attitude of rejecting other women thousands of miles away!
"What's wrong with the ten-year difference? Which man would think that a woman is too young? Your father wanted to marry another eighteen-year-old wife!" Seeing her son's expressionless face, Zhang Yali said, "I promised Yinyin that I will let you She went to your company for an internship for a while."
"There's no problem with the internship, don't talk about anything else." Mu Shaoling lit a cigarette, then raised his eyes, "I'm working, so don't mention this kind of thing in the future."
Zhang Yali went out and slammed the study door angrily.
Having a son was beyond her control as a mother. Anyway, Cai Xiufen's son knew how to listen to a few words from his mother, but her son simply didn't listen to a word!
The more Zhang Yali thought about it, the angrier she became!
Downstairs in the old house, Ruan Bai sat on a bench, and there was a round table in front of the bench, on which was her laptop.
Grandpa is sick here, and it's not an ordinary illness, but a rare vomiting of blood, so she can only call the group leader to ask for leave.
Fortunately, Zhou Xiaosu allowed her to leave.
"Hi, my name is Guo Yinyin. We haven't introduced ourselves when we were at the top." Guo Yinyin held out her hand generously.
Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Ruan Bai also stood up and reached out to her: "My name is Ruan Bai."
Guo Yinyin let go of Ruan Bai's hand, her eyes caught Ruan Bai's hand, it was very white and soft, as a woman, she felt jealous when she touched it, let alone a man.
"I'll call you Miss Bai. I'll start working in your department tomorrow. I heard from Aunt Yali that you are also a newcomer in the design department, but you are still older than me. I hope you can teach me more."
"I dare not, I'm still learning." Ruan Bai said politely.
Guo Yinyin was noncommittal, and turned her head to look at Zhang Xing'an: "Brother Xing'an, let's go."
Zhang Xing'an nodded to Ruan Bai as a greeting, but the greeting was a bit subtle.
Ruan Bai could only nod his head.
The two leave.
Ruan Bai couldn't tell what impression he had of Guo Yinyin, whether it was an enemy or a friend, he could only take a step at a time.
In short, she who is now responsible for her grandfather and father, no matter what, she can't afford to lose the job in hand.
Ruan Bai stayed downstairs until dark.
The main reason was that Grandpa didn't vomit blood anymore, even if she went up, she didn't know what to do or say, and she was embarrassed to face Mu Shaoling.
Until after eight o'clock, all the mosquitoes on the surrounding grass were attracted by the light of the computer.
This is not good in summer, there are mosquitoes.
Packing up the computer and going upstairs, Ruan Bai went to grandpa's room.
In the afternoon, I wanted to say that she would go home to live in the evening, but Mr. Mu seemed to know what she was going to say, and said first: "You will take care of your grandfather here at night, and the two nannies at home will be busy with other things. I'm afraid that I don't care about treating the elderly."
You can't leave your grandfather to Mu Shaoling's family to take care of him personally, Ruan Bai has no reason to go home.
Mr. Mu was listening to the radio in this room. When Ruan Bai entered the room, his grandfather found that his arms and legs were badly bitten by mosquitoes, and his fair skin was red in several spots.
"I told you to come into the house early and watch the mosquitoes bite you..."
Mu Zhanbai took his homework book, and was going to come to this room to ask Auntie Xiaobai a question, but when he heard that Auntie Xiaobai was bitten by a mosquito, he immediately ran back to the room to find mosquito bite ointment.
When I came out, I met my father who had just come out of the study.
"What are you running for?" Mu Shaoling looked down at his son with a cold gaze.
"Auntie Xiaobai was bitten by a mosquito, so I went to get the ointment." The little guy said softly, expressing that he didn't run around.
Mu Shaoling looked at the ointment in his son's hand, and snatched it: "Go home and do your homework, and I'll deliver it for you."
The little guy looked at his father who was walking towards Auntie Xiaobai's room in confusion...
It's too shameless to compete with my son for the opportunity to perform!
