Although Mrs. Lu did not explicitly say the person's name, her words were obviously implicit, and Mu Yuchu and Mother Lu didn't expect the old lady to ask like this.

After all, she has never liked Lu Zhannan.

Since he didn't come, shouldn't it be more to her heart?

Due to surprise, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law next to the sofa glanced at each other in unison, and Lu's mother was the first to react and explained.

"Mom, here's the thing, Zhan Nan he.... ”

"Did I ask you? I want you to say. ”

Mother Lu was about to explain to the old lady that Lu Zhannan couldn't come because she was on a business trip, but the old lady categorically interrupted her unfinished words, pointed the finger at Mu Yuchu, and her sharp eyes fell straight on her, as if she had committed some heinous crime.

Mother Lu was dumbfounded, and after all, she didn't dare to brush the old lady's meaning, so she stood quietly aside.

Mu Yuchu was slightly stunned, after feeling the sharp gaze cast by the old lady, her back stiffened, she was a bit of a godless, she didn't know what the old lady meant at all, but she still instinctively explained obediently.

"Grandma, it's not that Zhannan didn't come, it's that he went on a business trip to Linshi today, so he didn't go back to the old house. ”

In order to avoid the old lady being embarrassed, she explained in detail.

The old lady glanced at her and said sharply.

"Which city did he go on a business trip? How many days?"

When she asked like this, Mu Yuchu was stunned on the spot, although she didn't understand why the old lady asked like this, but she still told her what she knew truthfully.

"Zhannan, he went on a business trip for a week, and he didn't tell me which city he went to. ”

"Then you didn't ask?"

The old lady asked.

"Ahh ”

Mu Yuchu didn't expect the old lady to ask so carefully, she was surprised, and then nodded in agreement, he just told himself that he was going to Linshi on a business trip, and he came to inform her, and she said that she knew, and she thought of asking so much.

Seeing Mu Yuchu's stupid appearance that she didn't know anything about, the old lady's face obviously became unsightly, and she asked with a cold face.

"When did he leave today, who did he go on a business trip with, and did you pack the luggage for him?"

The old lady asked several questions in a row, and Mu Yuchu, who asked, was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Lu's mother, and her Tongling-like eyes blinked helplessly, not to mention how nervous she was.

When the old lady finished asking, a thin layer of sweat was pinched out of her palm.

She replied by licking the corners of her dry lips.

"Grandma, Zhannan, he was on a temporary business trip in the afternoon, and I didn't have time to rush back at school at that time, so he should have gone back to pack his luggage by himself, and he should have been on a business trip to the city alone. ”

The more Mu Yuchu spoke, the quieter he became, the more he spoke, the more weak his heart became, his back was already dripping with cold sweat, and he always felt that he was on the execution ground, as for how many people Lu Zhannan went to the city, she also calculated according to Zhang Shu.

Since Zhang Shu didn't go, he thought it should be him going on a business trip alone.

Mu Yuchu didn't know when he asked three questions, the old lady who asked hated iron and steel, and her gloomy face became darker and darker, and the old lady endured her temper that was about to explode, and asked again with a fierce expression.

"Then you know the hotel where he stays, right?"

The old lady's temper was obviously endured to the extreme, but Mu Yuchu, who was asked by her, was only stunned by her question, she really didn't know anything about Lu Zhannan's whereabouts, she only knew that he was going on a business trip, and he didn't tell her anything else, so she didn't ask.

I didn't expect her to return to the old mansion, the old lady would be so interested in Lu Zhannan's whereabouts, and the questions were very detailed, but Mu Yuchu couldn't answer at all, and as for which hotel he would stay in, she didn't know anything.

couldn't help but feel like a child who had done something wrong, hanging his head in shame, staring at the tips of his shoes at a loss, where could he answer the old lady's question, just like a wooden man with a pestle over there.

Lu Mu naturally saw that something was wrong, and tried to alleviate the embarrassment.

"Mom, what are you doing when you ask so much, I was thinking that Chu Chu was about to go to school today, and then I was thinking that we would have a meal together as a family, and I also called to know that Zhan Nan was going on a temporary business trip, Chu Chu was at school, I think she was about the same as I knew. ”

"Hmph.... ”

The old lady snorted mockingly, just looking at her appearance of not knowing anything, she understood that she didn't know anything about Lu Zhannan's whereabouts, so angry that she hit the tile with a cane on the spot.

There was an immediate banging sound on the tiles, Mu Yuchu was so frightened that he was full of excitement, his slender figure couldn't help but tremble, the old lady in front of him was obviously angry, and scolded Mu Yuchu in a rage.

"As his wife, you don't know anything about his whereabouts, where he goes, who he goes with, and which hotel he stays in.

I think you're like this, even if he buys it next time, you'll still be stupid enough to count the money for him. ”

The old lady's face was blue when she was angry, Mu Yuchu was scolded by her and lowered her head, she didn't dare to take a breath, and suddenly felt that she was a little wrong, it stands to reason that she received a call from Lu Zhannan that she was going on a business trip, she should go back to see him off and care about him.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been counted like this by the old lady.

Mother Lu saw that the old lady was so fierce and admired Yu Chu, and the child was silent in place, and she couldn't bear to say in her heart.

"Mom, at the beginning, she was still a child who had just turned eighteen, and some things she thought about were naturally not so thoughtful, and sometimes Huainan suddenly went on a business trip and I didn't know where he went, and what he was busy with.

Since you have taught her so much today, she will definitely remember it next time, Chu Chu, thank you grandma for reminding her. ”

The atmosphere in the living room was really depressing to the extreme, and Lu's mother didn't expect that the old lady would suddenly care so much about the young couple, nor did she expect that she would ask Lu Zhannan about his whereabouts.

Could it be that she thought that letting Mu Yuchu relieve the embarrassment of her grandparents and grandchildren was really effective?

Reminded by Lu's mother, in the face of the old lady's accusation, Mu Yuchu hurriedly thanked the old lady respectfully.

"Thank you grandma for your teachings. ”

The old lady was so angry that she didn't know anything about it, and she didn't pay attention to her at all, but Mother Zhang on the side hurriedly supported the old lady's arm and helped Mu Yuchudao.

"Old lady, don't be angry with the second young grandmother, what Mrs. said is right, the second young grandmother is still young after all, you teach her more in the future, she will definitely become the second young master's virtuous helper, don't be angry, who will teach the second young grandmother after you are angry." ”

"Yes, Mom, you hurry up and sit down, what are you doing over there with pestles, don't you bring tea to the old lady. ”

Lu Mu spoke to everyone in a stern voice.

The old lady glanced at Mother Lu and Mother Zhang, and sneered.

"You know how to speak for her, as a wife, you don't even know her husband's whereabouts, what else can you do for her, is it just because she is young, can you not know this?"

The old lady sat on the sofa angrily, and Mu Yuchu was on the edge of the sofa like a child who had done something wrong, and he didn't dare to listen to the old lady's admonition, twisting his right hand with his left hand, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

But the old lady's words are undeniable, as a wife, how can she be asked three questions without knowing anything.

The old lady calmed her anger for a moment, glanced at Mu Yuchu with cold eyes, and then asked.

"I heard you're starting school tomorrow?"

"Hmm. ”

Mu Yuchu nodded hurriedly, his eyes fell on the old lady's face cautiously, for fear that she would still be angry.

The old lady nodded, and then continued.

"The place where you and that stinky boy live now is a bit far from your current school, how do you plan to go to school. ”

The old lady's meaningful inquiry, how could it make people feel that she had something to say, Mu Yuchu didn't dare to hide it, and told the truth.

"Grandma, I discussed this with Zhannan, I live at school on Monday and Thursday, go home on Friday night, and Zhannan will take me to school on Monday morning. ”

Hearing Mu Yuchu's answer, the old lady suddenly fell silent, her face was gloomy all the time, so that others couldn't see what she was thinking, but Mu Yuchu obediently waited for the old lady to respond.

I thought to myself, why did the old lady still ask this, did she have something special to order?

Not to mention that Mu Yuchu was strange, Lu Mu didn't understand why the old lady asked like this, so she asked.

"Mom, is there something wrong with the junior high school?"

The old lady raised her eyes elegantly, glanced at Mu Yuchu, and ordered her directly.

"You and that stinky boy are married, the couple don't live together, what's the matter with living in school, I don't agree with this, and I don't have to discuss it, you have to go home and live. ”

The old lady made the final decision, not discussing with Mu Yuchu and anyone, but only with them.

Mu Yuchu was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he just nodded by default.

"Okay, Grandma, I got it. ”

She responded meekly, the old lady's face was better, and it happened that Lu Huainan came back from work, and the group did not continue to talk, and everyone at the table ate with their own thoughts.

After eating, Mu Yuchu said goodbye to the Lu family obediently, the old lady just snorted and didn't say anything else, and Lu's mother sent her to the gate, her eyes swept at the stern old lady, and gently comforted Mu Yuchu.

"At the beginning, your grandmother was this temper, although the words she said were very hurtful, but I think she was also good for you, and I could see that because of your existence, the old lady was accepting not Zhannan little by little, which is a good sign.

At the beginning, you were a little wronged, if Zhan Nan can reconcile with his grandmother, it will be a good thing, after all, the past is over, and the living will continue, can you understand what your mother said?"

Lu Zhannan is her son in the end, the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and she only has Lu Zhannan a son left now, she really wants him to always be with her knees, and in the future, she can also take them to live at home for a while and enjoy the joy of family.

Mu Yuchu didn't know the tense relationship between the old lady and Lu Zhannan, and from the fact that the old lady kept asking her about Lu Zhannan today, she could see that the old lady was slowly accepting Lu Zhannan.

If the grandparents and grandchildren can release their suspicions, what is it if Mu Yuchu is a little wronged, she nodded obediently.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine, if grandma can reconcile with Zhannan, this is what I want to see. ”

She didn't want every time she went back to the old mansion, the old lady would target Lu Zhannan and call him a murderer.

Mother Lu patted Mu Yuchu's hand comfortingly, only felt that this child was really sensible, and shushed again, so she let her leave and go home.

*

On the second floor of the old house, Lu's mother, who had finished taking a bath, sat in front of the makeup mirror, wiping skin care products, wondering how the old lady behaved today, and she didn't understand why the old lady kept asking Mu Yuchu about Lu Zhannan's whereabouts.

At first, she thought that Mu Yuchu had alleviated the contradiction between her ancestors and grandchildren, but now that she thinks that the old lady is blaming Mu Yuchu for every word, and also says that as a wife, how can she not even know her husband's whereabouts.

This is clearly an allusion.

"Huainan, do you think Mom is a little abnormal today?"

Lu's mother rubbed the hand cream, looked at Lu Huainan who was sitting on the bed and reading a magazine through the makeup mirror, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, so she asked him, thinking that he would help her analyze the old lady's abnormal behavior, what was going on.

After that, by the way, she told Lu Huainan about the old lady when she first entered the door, and after she finished speaking, her skin care products were almost wiped off, she got up and walked to the double bed, lifted the quilt and slept on Lu Huainan's side, just waiting for him to answer.

Lu Huainan put down the magazine in his hand, glanced at Lu Mu, who was looking at him expectantly, and was silent for a while.

"Probably my mother also wants to let go of the past and start over, but she doesn't know how to care about Zhannan for a while, so she wants to re-understand Zhannan through the beginning, don't you worry about this, don't you know Mom's temper, the hardest and softest, this is also a good sign, isn't it, let's go to bed early." ”

Lu Huainan probably guessed, and told Lu's mother to go to bed early, after all, she had to go to work early tomorrow morning.

When he said this, Lu Mu also felt that it made sense, and nodded unconsciously.

"Such a possibility is not impossible, if Zhan Nan can reconcile with the old lady, it can be regarded as a knot in my heart, since Jing Chen left, Zhan Nan has come back only a handful of times, think about the fact that he was fostered by his grandmother for that matter, I am really absolutely sorry for him, and I feel very guilty about him.

Huainan, we are a child in Zhannan. ”

The more Lu Mu spoke, the more sad she became, and she couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears.

Lu Huainan frowned, stretched out his hand and hugged the crying Lu Mu to comfort him.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, it's been so many years, don't mention it again, isn't the relationship between Mom and Zhannan eased now, you should be happy, okay, don't think so much, let's go to bed early." ”

He helped her to lie in his arms, and turned off the bedside lamp on his side.

In the dark, Lu Huainan gently hugged Lu's mother, who was still trembling and crying, but her wrinkled thick eyebrows became more and more wrinkled, and her eyes slowly became different, so she didn't dare to say these things to Lu's mother.

If one day, she knew what he had done, and she would hate him to death.

*

"Madame, has something happened, why do you seem to be preoccupied, is it because of the unpleasant dinner just now?"

On the way back, Zhang Shu saw Mu Yuchu leaning against the car window in a depressed mood, and without saying a word, when he leaned over there and looked at the scenery outside the window, he still couldn't help but ask with concern.

Being asked by Zhang Shu like this, Mu Yuchu came back to his senses, blinked his eyes twice at a loss, and instinctively asked Zhang Shu.

"Assistant Zhang, do you know where Zhannan is going on a business trip this time, is there anyone who accompanies him and which hotel he is staying in?"

These are the old lady who just asked her, and she just kept asking herself in the car, is her wife a little incompetent, Zhang Shu happened to ask her again, she took the opportunity to ask.

Zhang Shu didn't expect Mu Yuchu to suddenly ask him this, and his face changed slightly.

"Madam, why did you suddenly ask that? President, he went to City B, accompanied by several elites from the planning department, the president was afraid that the designers over there would not be able to handle the project over there, so he brought people from the planning department to help refer to it. ”

Zhang Shu asked, and he still answered Mu Yuchu's question truthfully.

Mu Yuchu nodded knowingly, she probably understood, but she remembered the matter of packing her luggage again, and she asked again.

"Then did he bring all his luggage with Zhannan on this business trip?

"Madam, the president's luggage has always been prepared by me, and the clothes brought by me are also the clothes of the office lounge, madam, please rest assured. ”

Zhang Shu responded respectfully, but some of them reacted that Mu Yuchu was concerned about the president of his family.

Hearing that Lu Zhannan's luggage was packed by Zhang Shu, Mu Yuchu only felt that her wife was indeed not doing well, and she was still thinking about living in the school, so she pursed the corners of her lips in shame and instructed Zhang Shu.

"Assistant Zhang, can I trouble you with one thing, if Zhannan still has such a business trip in the future, can you tell me in advance, I am his wife, and I should help him do these things. ”

Mu Yuchu can care so much about Lu Zhannan, and he will only do this, Zhang Shu is too late to be happy, where do you need her trouble.

"Madam, don't say that, I didn't think about it this time, Madam, please rest assured that I will tell you in advance. ”

"Well, thank you, Assistant Zhang. ”

Mu Yuchu's sincere thanks, I felt very uncomfortable, Lu Zhannan not only helped her many times, but also always appeared at a dangerous moment to rescue her, she couldn't even do this little thing, and the old lady scolded her and scolded her at all.

After that, the two didn't say much, and Zhang Shu, who was driving, didn't feel secretly relieved, at first he saw Mu Yuchu ask this, and thought that something had happened, so frightened that his face changed directly, but fortunately, she just asked about Lu Zhannan's business trip this time.

Otherwise, I'm afraid things will be in trouble.

And Mu Yuchu here only cared about guilt, so he didn't pay attention to Zhang Shu's secretly relieved appearance.

It wasn't long before Mu Yuchu finally knew why the old lady asked her so much that night.
