Because of Nian Mu, Zhou Qing couldn't laugh. Looking down at the children with bright smiles on their faces, she asked, "Well, well, well, good children, but why are you all here?"
"Grandpa invited us here." Taotao said.
Lin Wenzheng held Zhou Qing's hand and explained: "I know you like to be lively, so I invited Shaoling and the children to have a meal."
Zhou Qing looked at Nian Mu.
Zhan Zhan knows how to read words and expressions, and according to their father's instructions, he said: "But Dad has no time recently, and basically works overtime in the company, so he asked Sister Nianmu to bring us here. He said that someone should watch us, otherwise there will be trouble. Grandpa and grandma have a headache."
"Is that so?" Zhou Qing was puzzled, if Nian Mu really agreed to Mu Shaoling's order, then it would make sense to go into the villa.
But, only this time it made sense.
"Yes, Mr. Mu ordered me to bring the children here to celebrate with you two." Nian Mu followed the children's words, and at the same time noticed that Zhou Qing's mood was not right.
She seemed to have guarded and sharpened herself.
"So that's the case. I didn't pay attention to Shaoling's busy project during this time, otherwise I would definitely not bother him." Lin Wenzheng answered.
Zhan Zhan said again: "Dad is very busy recently, sometimes my sister has to come over to take care of us after get off work, and then go home."
Nianmu listened to the child's words, feeling puzzled.
Is this what Mu Shaoling specifically told the children to say? What kind of medicine are they selling in their gourds?
When Zhou Qing heard this, she was puzzled, is what they said true?
Even if Mu Shaoling was busy, he could have found a nanny to take care of the child, why did he find Nian Mu?
She's busy too, isn't she?
"Shaoling is so busy, it's hard work for you to help take care of the children." Lin Wenzheng happily followed the children's words, and squeezed Zhou Qing's hand.
Now, she should be relieved, right?
Zhou Qing also said: "So, Xiao Nian, you have been helping Shaoling take care of the child all this time? How embarrassing."
"It's nothing, the children are very obedient, and I like getting along with them very much." Nianmu continued.
"Yes, we also like my sister to take care of us, and the meals my sister cooks are delicious, I will eat them all every time." Taotao answered.
Zhou Qing nodded. From this point of view, Nianmu didn't live in the villa, and he went in every day just to take care of the children.
Although all this could be explained, she was still a little uncomfortable.
Nian Mu always felt that what Mu Shaoling explained to the children was not that simple...
Originally, she thought he was just telling the children not to talk about living with her, and then how to say nice things.
But now it looks like Mu Shaoling is using a child to cover up something.
The atmosphere was a little frozen, and Zhou Qing was not happy with the children's explanation.
She looked at the children with a forced smile, and she was full of thoughts, if Nian Mu was really with Mu Shaoling, and Nian Mu had such a good relationship with the children, what would happen if Ruan Bai came back?
Love, family, all gone.
Nianmu looked at her worried and knew it.
She is not filial, and has not taken care of Zhou Qing for a few years, so she is so worried.
Glancing at the gift in her hand, it was prepared by Mu Shaoling. She handed it over, "Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, this is a gift from me. I wish you a happy wedding anniversary."
Lin Wenzheng glanced at Zhou Qing. If she knew that the person in front of her was their precious daughter, would she still be so sad?
He accepted it cheerfully, "Thank you, Xiao Nian, you have a heart."
Nian Mu felt a little guilty at what he said, she didn't have any intentions, in this world, no child could do what she did.
Her dearest relative was in front of her eyes, but she was coerced into not daring to recognize her.
Zhou Qing still didn't speak, Lin Wenzheng held the gift in his hand, and said, "Xiao Nian, I heard that you usually study calligraphy and painting. Recently, I have collected a few oil paintings. Can you help me look at them?"
"Actually, I just looked at it casually." Nian Mu said, when it comes to appreciating, her ability is far inferior to that of Lin Wenzheng.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, the chef is still preparing the food, so you come to appreciate it." Lin Wenzheng said, insisting on pulling Nian Mu.
Unable to resist his enthusiasm, Nianmu had no choice but to follow him upstairs.
Zhou Qing watched them go upstairs, glanced at the three children, and said, "Zhan Zhan Tao Tao, I bought some new toys and put them upstairs two days ago, you go and play."
"Really? Thanks grandma."
"Okay, grandma." Zhan Zhan and Tao Tao said in unison, noticing that their grandmother only called the names of the two brothers, so Zhan Zhan took Tao Tao's hand and went upstairs.
In the living room downstairs, only Ruan Ruan remained.
Ruan Ruan watched her elder brother and younger brother go upstairs, and asked in a low voice: "Grandma, can I go upstairs to play with my elder brother and younger brother?"
Zhou Qing pulled Ruan Ruan and sat on the sofa, looking at her lovingly.
Among the three children, only Ruan Ruan was the most like Ruan Bai. She looked at the child as if she saw Ruan Bai.
"Ruan Ruan, grandma knows you are a good boy, so she won't cheat grandma, will she?" she asked.
Ruan Ruan nodded, and was surprised by her words, "Grandma, what happened?"
"Nothing happened. Grandma just wanted to know something, so she kept you here. You will answer grandma's questions honestly, won't you?" Zhou Qing held her small hands and looked at the child. Soft for a reason.
Little girls are not very good at lying.
"Grandma, I will tell you whatever you want to know." Ruan Ruan immediately knew.
"Do you really like sister Nian Mu?" Zhou Qing asked.
"Yes, my brother and I like to stay with Sister Nianmu. Sister Nianmu is very kind and gentle, and treats us super well, so we all like her." Ruanruan nodded.
Hearing what the child said, Zhou Qing sighed in her heart, Nianmu's influence on the children was too great.
Even surpassed Ruan Bai's mother...
"Then sister Nianmu is taking care of you all this time? Didn't your father hire another nanny to take care of you?" Zhou Qing asked again.
"My sister will come to take care of us whenever she is free." Ruan Ruan knew what she was asking for, so she took out what Mu Shaoling told her to return, "My brother is a picky eater and doesn't like to eat food made by the nanny hired by my father." I like the dishes cooked by my sister, so when my sister is free, she will come and cook for us."
Zhou Qing listened to what Ruan Ruan said, so it seems that Nian Mu is indeed just helping to take care of the child, not living with Mu Shaoling.
She asked again: "Then why did your father take you out to live?"
