Chapter 177: The Events of the Year, the Love of the Years, and the People of the Years
The meal was quite enjoyable.
The Mu family has no rules of eating and sleeping, and at the dinner table, Mu Qingning's voice was crisp and she said what happened in school, and now her eyebrows and eyes are bright after experiencing some storms, and her whole face is full of youthful demeanor.
"By the way, Mommy, I'm going to go to the United States with my professor for a week-long academic exchange next week. Mu Qingning looked at Mu Junlin, who had a serious look in his eyes, and laughed coquettishly, "Daddy, I remember that my cousin hasn't come back for several years, and they will come back for the New Year soon?"
The cousin Mu Qingning said was the daughter of Mu Junlin's uncle's family, married to a Chinese-American, and rarely came back over the years, even Mu Zeyu got married in a hurry and flew back the next day.
Yes, Gu Mingyan didn't have much impression of this cousin who was still close, he looked at Mu Zeyu with inquiring eyes, and said in a low voice, "Is the relationship between Dad and my cousin good?"
"It's not far, it's not close, it's just such a cousin after all. Mu Zeyu didn't have much impression of his cousin Mu Yueru, he only remembered that he spoke softly and smiled very gently, and he couldn't remember anything else.
Mu Junlin put the peeled shrimp in Jiang Zhanmei's bowl, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, "The blue lobster was airlifted in the morning, and it was still alive and kicking before cooking, don't you like it, taste it." β
Jiang Zhanmei glanced at him, and silently put the blue lobster into his mouth.
Well, I have to say that the rare genetically mutated blue lobster in the United States tastes better than that of France, and it is probably the truth that things are vaguely expensive.
Mu Junlin was so scared that she took out the lobster and threw it back into his bowl, and saw that Jiang Zhanmei had eaten the whole shrimp, so she said in an almost flattering tone, "Meimei, didn't you have a good relationship with Yueru before, do you want them to come back for the New Year?"
"Whatever, I'm fine. Jiang Zhan narrowed his eyes, and a silent sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.
Since she was a child, her father has told her that eight out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory, and even if she is the proud daughter of the sky, she has things that she can't get. The long road of life, gentleness must be necessary, but it is not a compromise, even if it is compromised, it must be unhurried and strong.
She had tried her best not to think about the past, which was undoubtedly tearing open the wounds she had healed.
Once the resentment stranded in her heart was detonated, Jiang Zhanmei's appetite was suddenly gone, and the delicious blue lobster was also chewed with wax, but her face was as usual, and she didn't even have the slightest emotional leakage, and she still ate elegantly.
"Then Mommy, if I go to the United States this time, are I going to visit Aunt Xi's family?" Mu Qingning had received a gift from Mu Yueru on her birthday, so although she was not familiar with this cousin, she also had a good impression.
"If you don't find it troublesome, go ahead. Jiang Zhanmei has long been trained to be moody, and he will not be easily angry with his baby daughter, and said softly, "But the United States is not Jiangcheng after all, and your cousin's house is not your own family, so don't let your own temperament do everything." β
Although Mu Qingning felt that her advice was strange, she still smiled and said, "Knowing Mommy, I'm not a person without measure." β
The meal ends in a pleasant atmosphere.
When Aunt Lan personally carried the fruit into the living room, Gu Mingyan knew that tonight's theme was coming.
"Ah Yu, you come down to the study with me. β
Mu Junlin dropped this sentence, took a deep look at Jiang Zhanmei, and walked towards the study upstairs.
"Mingyan, you are here to talk to your mother, and I'll go up for a while. Mu Zeyu shook the woman's weak and boneless hand comfortingly, and his thin lips outlined a smile, "Don't worry, don't worry!"
How could Gu Mingyan not be worried, if she hadn't been afraid of Mu Junlin from the bottom of her heart, she would definitely have to go up with Mu Zeyu.
Jiang Zhanmei looked at the little couple like this, a smile flashed in his eyes, not to mention how happy he was.
She was dissatisfied with Gu Mingyan before, and that was because she didn't take her son to heart. Now seeing the two of them worrying about each other, although there are still pimples in their hearts, it is best to give her another white and chubby grandson, then everything is really harmonious and beautiful.
Gu Mingyan watched the man's long figure disappear at the top of the stairs and turned around, and his eyebrows frowned almost invisibly.
She didn't know what was going on in the study upstairs, and the worry in her heart couldn't help but pop up.
"Smoke ...... Sister-in-law, are you worried that my brother will be doing it again, don't worry, I dare to guarantee that Daddy will not do it this time. Mu Qingning ate cherries in her mouth, and her voice was slurred.
"You talk a lot, and adults and children don't get involved. Jiang Zhanmei glared at Mu Qingning warningly, and motioned for her not to say much, "Mingyan, what do you think about this matter?"
Gu Mingyan was a little dazed, "Mom meanβ"
"Now that the whole city knows that you are being held by other men, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation for being a mother-in-law?" Jiang Zhanmei had an obviously unhappy expression on his face, "I didn't want to occupy this area, and you probably didn't realize it at the time, but what should you do and what you shouldn't do as a young lady of the Mu family, do you still need me to teach you?"
"Mom, the media has always liked to take quotes out of context, don't you know what kind of character your sister-in-law has been for so long? Besides, can Jiang Cheng, a handsome and handsome man like my eldest brother, find a second one?" Mu Qingning stuffed the bright red strawberry into Jiang Zhanmei's mouth, and squeezed her eyes at Gu Mingyan, "I believe in my sister-in-law anyway, so she won't do anything to be sorry for my eldest brother, right, sister-in-law?"
Gu Mingyan lowered his head a little weakly, not daring to look at Jiang Zhanmei's sharp gaze.
"Out of context?" Jiang Zhanmei couldn't hold back the anger that had been pented up for a night, and all of them turned into knives and flew towards Gu Mingyan, "If you clean yourself, will the media arrest whoever you take out of context? β
"I know it's wrong. Gu Mingyan humbly admitted his mistake, but he was noncommittal about Jiang Zhanmei's words, "Mom, I agree with what you said but can't accept it." It's normal for husband and wife to be noisy and quarrelsome, but everything has a reason, I didn't do anything wrong, but I'm sorry for the negative impact that the Mu family brought to Zeyu. After a pause, he pursed the corners of his lips, "I am innocent." β
The last sentence is not aggrieved no matter how you listen to it.
Jiang Zhanmei was not angry with her because of this, and the reason why she was angry was because that person was Ji Rujing, Ji Manru's son.
If it were someone else, she wouldn't be angry, but Ji Rujing is not an ordinary person, it is a thorn stuck in her throat that has not been pulled out for more than 20 years.
"Mingyan, ah......" Jiang Zhanmei suddenly spoke, especially the bright smile, which made Gu Mingyan feel worried.
"Mom, you can tell me something directly. She endured her panic and spoke in an extremely deferential tone.
Jiang Zhanmei was very satisfied with her attitude, "In that case...... suddenly stood up, took Gu Mingyan's hand and walked upstairs, "Aren't you worried about Ah Yu? β
"Butβ"
Where did Gu Mingyan dare to listen to her father-in-law's corner, but Jiang Zhanmei looked at the soft and weak strength more than her, and she didn't dare to struggle hard, so she could only follow her half-push and half-push.
β¦β¦ β¦β¦
Study room on the second floor.
Mu Junlin's handsome face was full of cold expressions, and without Jiang Zhanmei's side, the cold air on his body continued to emanate.
"Dad, twenty minutes have passed, haven't you figured out how to talk to me?" Mu Zeyu raised his legs, and his tone was very cynical.
Mu Junlin's face was cold, and he suddenly said out, "It's not your turn to teach Lao Tzu a lesson, give me quiet!"
Mu Zeyu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, folded his legs, and knocked on the coffee table.
Suddenly, the phone in the pocket vibrated a few times.
The man took out his mobile phone and heard Xiao Chuan coming in an eager tone, "Mr. Mu, it's not good, some media broke the news of his wife's late-night private meeting." β
Mu Zeyu's expression suddenly turned cold, but his tone was light, "Take down all the news about my wife, find out which media reported it, I want them to disappear in Jiangcheng within a day." β
"Yes, Mr. Mu!"
Xiao Chuan has no sympathy at all, knowing that MJ is already dealing with this matter, and he dares to break this, so he grows up so openly and does not take them in his eyes, wouldn't it be self-defeating.
"It's a shame that you can't even manage your own woman!" Mu Junlin laughed unceremoniously.
"Dad, if you have anything to say, according to what I know about my mother, she will not be able to hold back in another twenty minutes at most. Mu Zeyu's handsome face revealed a little deep, and there was a little gloomy between his eyebrows, "You have to think about it, once some words are spoken, there is no room for them to be taken back." β
Mu Junlin's expression seemed to be caught in a memory, and the expression on his face kept changing.
It's been 20 years since that happened......
That year, Yanmen was framed and a large number of arms were found, and Mu Junlin was not imprisoned because he was the ruler of the Mu family, but he lost his freedom in life, and he was even designed to mistake others for Jiang Zhanmei.
Drunken disorder is the simplest design, but it caused an uproar in the future.
If it was an ordinary woman, he could solve the problem casually, but the other party was Ji Manru, the daughter of the Ji family.
Ji Manru's father used to be one of the elders of the Yan Gate, and later died in order to save Mu Junlin's father from blocking the gun, with this great kindness, even if Ji Manru did something unforgivable, she couldn't do anything.
Moreover, she was also a victim and was drugged to his bed.
Later, Yanmen finally cleared the suspicion, which was exchanged for the blood and lives of countless people.
At the moment of life and death, Mu Junlin watched his pregnant wife also make a major decision, turning Yanmen from dark to light, and slowly whitewashing Yanmen through various means, so that there is today's Junlin Group.
That drunken infatuation Mu Junlin made Ji Manru take birth control pills after he sobered up, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
But this woman who was not taken into his eyes actually came to the door with her stomach up.
This is undoubtedly unbearable for Jiang Zhanmei, who is protected even by the Mu family when something happens, and her husband's betrayal and learning about what happened between the Mu family and Yanmen, she fell under the stimulation of her belly and almost lost her life......
