Mu's old house.
Old Master Mu was lying on a wicker chair in the garden, and on the low table next to him was a cup of good Dahongpao.
The old man loves to drink tea, and he is addicted to tea.
When Ruan Bai walked in, he saw Mr. Mu lying on the wicker chair a little listlessly.
His old face was full of wrinkles, and he stared fixedly at the flowers beside him, with a dull and mournful expression.
Ever since he learned the sad news of Mu Shaoling's murder, Mr. Mu's already unhealthy body shriveled up like a plant that had been drained of all its moisture.
"Grandpa, are you looking for me?" Ruan Bai walked gently behind the old man, and began to massage his shoulders and neck with both hands.
Mr. Mu turned his head, saw his granddaughter-in-law coming, and smiled kindly at her: "Xiaobai, grandpa came to you today to ask about the affairs of your company, and... to ask if you met Someone you like?"
He knew that Ruan Bai was very capable, and supported the huge T Group with the body of a weak woman. In two years, he managed to turn around the company that had been a mess. T Group's performance in the past two years has not declined, but has soared several points.
Mr. Mu is very satisfied with this excellent granddaughter-in-law.
However, the gossip in the company naturally reached Mr. Mu's ears.
The old man cherishes his reputation all his life, how can he tolerate such a thing that humiliates the lintel?
He had actually wanted to talk to Ruan Bai a long time ago, but since she had been busy with company affairs, he couldn't bear to blame her for seeing his granddaughter-in-law's exhausted face every day.
Today he couldn't help asking Ruan Bai these things, just to see her attitude.
Mr. Mu knew that his outstanding grandson was gone, and out of his own selfishness, of course he wanted his grandson-in-law to guard the T Group well and bring up his great-grandsons.
But Ruan Bai is in a good youth, beautiful and capable, he can't selfishly forcefully bind her to the Mu family for a lifetime.
"Grandpa, where did you hear some gossip?"
Ruan Bai frowned slightly, but the strength of the massage for the old man was still neither light nor heavy: "No matter where you heard the news, I can tell you that it is all fake. I only love Shaoling in my life, Regardless of the past, present, or future. Don't worry, even if Shaoling is really gone, I will never marry again, and three children are enough for me."
Mr. Mu sighed, and then said with a serious heart: "Grandpa is not blaming you for anything now. I also know that I am sorry to force you to stay in Mu's family, but now the Mu family's backer is only you. Rui Cheng The child is loose in nature, he is quite talented in art, but he is not suitable for business at all. His mother, Xiu Fen, has a certain skill in business, but because of the obstacles my son made, her personality is a bit distorted , is not suitable for running a company at all. Grandpa really can't help it!"
Ruan Bai couldn't help but recall Cai Xiu's gloomy character.
When she gave birth to Taotao that year, that woman actually sent someone to secretly try to harm her.
Fortunately, Ruicheng arrived in time, and if he was a little late, it might have serious consequences for one dead body and two dead.
As if he knew what Ruan Bai was thinking, Mr. Mu shook his head, lost in the past: "Actually, when Xiufen first married into Mu's family, she was really virtuous and elegant, and it was all Mu Zhen's fault. I have become a bitter woman, and my father-in-law really owes her... Xiaobai, for the sake of grandpa, don't bother with her. Grandpa is getting old, and now the most important thing is the harmony of the family Mu..."
Ruan Bai didn't shake his head or nod, he just said lightly: "Grandpa, I'm not such a troublesome person, as long as others don't make trouble for me, I won't make trouble for myself."
Her meaning is clear.
Old Master Mu knew that Ruan Bai was a kind child, so he felt even more guilty towards her: "You are a good boy, and the Mu family is sorry for you."
"Grandpa, now that the company is basically stable, I want to go to Moscow to find Shaoling." Ruan Bai hesitated again and again, but still told Mr. Mu of his decision.
Mr. Mu was not surprised, on the contrary, his eyes were more deep and complicated: "My child, just let go and do whatever you want. Although I don't really believe that Shaoling will disappear so easily, but the truth of the matter is... If You insist on going, but Grandpa has a few close friends over there, and I will ask them to take care of you more."
...
Lin's living room.
Knowing the news that Ruan Bai was going to Russia, Zhou Qing knew that her daughter was stubborn, and no one could change the decision she made, so she could only get up early in the morning to pack things for her.
While stuffing various clothes and supplies into Ruan Bai's suitcase, she told her in a long-winded manner: "Although it is already May, the weather in Moscow is still a bit cold, you must have more thick clothes." Bring two pieces. If you don’t have enough clothes, just spend money on them over there. Don’t freeze yourself. Also, this bottle of cream is specially made by your mother according to your skin. Smear some; these small items are for Xiao Taotao, that child has tender skin and is prone to allergies, you have to take good care of my grandson... By the way, Lin Lin is learning Russian, let her go with you Russia, you will have a reliable translator by then..."
Looking at the busy Zhou Qing, Ruan Bai couldn't help walking forward, and gently hugged Zhou Qing: "Mom, thank you, really."
Zhou Qing is really a loving and qualified mother.
What she did for herself in the past two years, no matter how cold-hearted she is, she would be completely moved.
What's more, Ruan Bai originally belonged to that kind of soft-hearted person. She saw and remembered Zhou Qing's love for her.
Zhou Qing was relieved by her daughter's hug.
She is not good at expressing love in words, so she smiled lightly: "You silly boy, why are you being polite to Mom? I'll go to the room to see if there is anything else to pack. You can sit on the sofa and rest for a while. "
After speaking, she hurried to the room on the second floor.
Looking at his mother's hurried back, Ruan Bai couldn't help but laugh, and then began to tidy up his suitcase slowly.
At this time, Lin Ning, who was a little drunk, suddenly walked over from outside.
Her spirit seemed to be in a trance, and she walked staggeringly, as if she was deeply in a hallucination and couldn't extricate herself.
There is a deep dark red mark on Lin Ning's neck, which is very eye-catching.
Ruan Bai knew about personnel affairs, so he naturally knew that the shocking bruises on her neck were hickey marks.
But the two were born at odds, and she didn't want to talk to each other at all.
But the other party automatically came over, with a flash of gloating resentment in his eyes, and then started talking nonsense: "Hey, Ruan Kexing, hahahahaha, do you know how Mu Shaoling died? !"
