Chapter 485: Everything is Fate! (2nd Update)
Oh, it turned out to be Boss Li's ex-husband, fortunately~"
At first, Master Chen heard Zhuang Ning call him Teacher Lin, and thought it was her colleague, but as soon as he heard that it was Li Manrui's ex-husband, he immediately reached out and shook Lin Musen with a smile.
"Boss Li?"
Lin Musen said in confusion.
"Oh, that's right, my husband is a private chef, and he used to cook Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for Manrui's family a few times, and Lao Chen is used to it." ”
Zhuang Ning immediately explained.
"Private chef, then your cooking must be delicious!"
When Lin Musen heard this, he hurriedly smiled and complimented.
"It's okay, hehe~"
Master Chen said with a shy smile.
"By the way, they said you're looking for me, what are you looking for me?"
Zhuang Ning pretended to be confused and asked Lin Musen.
"Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, let's eat together, I'll treat you, and I'll talk slowly when the time comes." ”
As soon as Lin Musen heard Zhuang Ning's words, he immediately smiled a little embarrassed.
"We're talking about buying groceries and going home to cook, since you haven't eaten yet, then let's eat together, you just came to New York, it's not good for you to break the bank, let's go, I'll invite you today." Lao Chen, do you know which restaurant is more delicious? Mr. Lin is a northerner from City B. ”
Zhuang Ning hurriedly said enthusiastically.
"Does Mr. Lin eat spicy?"
Master Chen spoke.
"I can eat anything, anywhere, you decide. ”
Lin Musen is as good as a stream.
"Let's go to the restaurant, it's small but it tastes good and it's quiet. ”
Master Chen suggested.
"Okay, okay, you lead the way. ”
Lin Musen didn't want to eat in the first place, so he didn't have any opinions at all.
So the three of them went to a small Sichuan restaurant under the leadership of Chef Chen, the restaurant looked a little old, but the proprietress was very polite, and Chef Chen ordered a few signature dishes with the encouragement of Zhuang Ning and Lin Musen.
"How is Mr. Lin doing, has he adapted to life here?"
After sitting down, Zhuang Ning said with concern.
"It's been almost half a year, so I'm almost used to it~"
Lin Musen took a sip of the tea sent by the proprietress and sighed.
"You came here quite suddenly, didn't I see you and that last time......... Did she agree with you staying here?"
Zhuang Ning had already heard from Li Manrui that he was divorced, but she still had to pretend not to know.
"Ahem~ Don't mention it, I've been divorced a long time ago~"
Lin Musen said embarrassedly.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I really don't know, I didn't hear Manrui talk about it!hehe~"
Zhuang Ning also pretended to be regretful and apologetic.
The three of them chatted while eating, and after a meal, Zhuang Ning also figured out Lin Musen's purpose for looking for her, in short, in a word, that is, he wanted to find a chance to reunite with Li Manrui.
"To be honest, I've always felt that it was a pity that the two of you were separated in the first place, and if you had stayed with her, or if Manrui hadn't been so stubborn, maybe you wouldn't have become what you are today.
You don't know how much our classmates envied you at the beginning, that was the legend of the school flowers and grass at that time!
Zhuang Ning said with emotion.
"Who says it's not? If she hadn't stayed here, maybe I'd stay in the outer courtyard until I retired! If she didn't go back, I had no intention of teaching, so I followed a few people to the sea, and then I wanted to go back, the policy wouldn't allow it, alas~ It's hard to say!"
Lin Musen was slightly lost in his ground.
"Life is always like this, I didn't expect that when I was old, I would follow my daughter to settle in the United States, don't be too sad, it's not good now, your family is finally reunited. ”
Zhuang Ning hurriedly said with a smile.
"Reunion? Are you kidding? You don't know, she doesn't even want to see me! But I've been too negligent with my children over the years, so Man Rui and Tan Tan have a lot of opinions about me, and it's so easy to want to reunite!"
Lin Musen said with a wry smile.
"Everything is sincere, the gold and stone are open, if you really want to, nothing is impossible, do you say is Lao Chen?"
Zhuang Ning touched her husband, who rarely spoke after sitting down.
"Hehe, yes, everything is fate~"
Master Chen is honest and authentic.
-----------------------
Just when Zhuang Ning was helping Lin Musen plan how to break through Li Manrui's psychological defense, Li Manrui was doing the final finishing work in the newly renovated villa.
In the past, she didn't want to leave this house, because this house was her first real home in the United States, and it was given to her by Mike, and she really cherished it, and now after redecorating, she herself has a sense of rebirth.
This time the decoration, she almost replaced all the home decoration inside, even the kitchen system and the like have been changed, although the previous is also very luxurious, but always reveal some shabby atmosphere, now a decoration, the whole feeling has changed.
The originally empty large living room has replaced the previous full-leather sofa with a European-style high-backed sofa chair, which looks like a kind of royal luxury.
From the TV cabinet to all the furniture closets, all of them are decorated in pure white style, and the whole space also looks bright and transparent, just like her mood now.
Li Manrui packed up her newly bought large bed with Roman columns, pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows at the back, and stood on the balcony alone enjoying the scenery of the backyard.
The previous swimming pool has also been refreshed, and the vegetable garden opened up by Grandma Li and her husband is now growing very well, and it is full of the atmosphere of happy life, which makes Li Manrui feel so unreal.
Life has come to the present, no matter how difficult the choices have been made before, it has now become a thing of the past, fortunately, her son has a good career and family, and her daughter is about to go to a better future, and she has not failed too much in this life.
Of course, the only imperfection is personal emotional problems, even if Lin Musen comes to New York now, she has no intention of continuing the previous edge, after all, after a person gets used to it, it is difficult to learn to adapt to the various requirements of the other half.
She is not like Zhuang Ning who has always had good wishes for love, her love has never been pure, so she really has no pure feeling, which is also what she feels very sorry about.
---------------
In the process of Lin Musen planning how to get close to Li Manrui, begging for her forgiveness, and finally reaching a reunion, Lin Zitan actually didn't know.
All this is a change that Lin Musen wants to try, although he doesn't have much money now, and he doesn't have much ability to take care of Li Manrui, but he thinks that since he stays in the United States, he has to plan for his future life.
If he pays his sincerity to walk into Li Manrui's side again, he might as well lower his posture and try to work hard in these aspects, the worst situation will not be worse than now, why not give it a go!
And Lin Zitan suddenly felt a little nervous after hearing the bodyguard report to him that Li Manrui had often received flowers from strangers for no reason recently, and he originally thought that when the time was ripe, Lin Musen and Li Manrui who stayed behind would be able to continue their relationship, so he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Can you help us find out who sent the flowers? ”
Lin Zitan confessed the humanity on the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zitan groaned for a while, always feeling that what he had thought before was taken for granted, after all, no one can control emotional matters, if Li Manrui really found another person.
No matter who that person is, it is impossible for him and his sister to come forward to stop it, not to mention that grandpa is already very old, especially grandpa, who has often been in a trance recently, which makes people worry that he may leave at any time.
"Jingle Bell~"
When Lin Zitan was thinking wildly, the phone in his hand suddenly rang, and Lin Zitan looked at it and saw that it was his friend Louis, who he hadn't seen for a long time, calling, so he immediately opened the phone.
"Luis, you're finally back?"
