Chu Ci couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and grabbed Jiang Xing's sleeve: "Is Lu Xiang back?"

Jiang Xing nodded: "Yes, the eldest lady said that she wanted to see you." ”

"Okay, you can take me there now. ”

Along the way, Chu Ci sat in the car and asked Jiang Xing all kinds of questions, Jiang Xing answered them one by one, and finally smiled: "Miss Chu, it's better for you to ask the eldest lady in person after you see her." ”

Lu Xiang came back secretly, and no one told him, only Jiang Xing knew about it.

The place where she lives now is also arranged by Jiang Xing.

It is a little far away from the city center in the community, the environment is good, and the scenery is pleasant.

Lu Xiang lives here and doesn't want to be disturbed.

Chu Ci went upstairs and rang the doorbell, the door opened to see the face of a strange woman, she glanced at Chu Ci and asked in a somewhat jerky Chinese: "Is it Miss Chu Ci?"

She pointed to the room and said, "Miss Lu is in the room, come in quickly!"

As soon as Chu Ci walked in, he saw Lu Xiang wearing a long sleeve walking over.

The weather in June was already very hot, but Lu Xiang was still dressed in long clothes and trousers, and the moment Chu Ci saw Lu Xiang, his psychological side was also infinitely excited.

She hurriedly walked over: "When did you come back, baby?"

Lu Xiang gained a little weight after giving birth, and his face was also sallow and not very good-looking, and he seemed a little unenergetic.

So when he saw Lu Xiang at close range, Chu Ci's expression was very impressive.

"Why do you look at me like this?" Lu Xiang covered his face: "Am I ugly?"

Chu Ci drew a few black lines on the corners of her forehead, she pursed her lips and comforted: "It's like this when you give birth to a child, is the baby in the room?"

Lu Xiang looked at Chu Ci with disdain, and asked where the baby was as soon as he came, and he didn't ask her if she was in good health?

But Chu Ci obviously attracted all her interest to the baby, she pushed open the door and walked in, and sure enough, she saw the baby's little cradle.

The little girl is still sleeping, her long eyelashes cover her eyelids, and although she can't see anything yet, it is certain that she will be a beautiful little princess in the future.

Chu Ci hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, afraid that he would scream.

The excitement of seeing a newborn little life is indescribable.

She turned her head to look at Lu Xiang: "Isn't it almost a month?"

Lu Xiang walked over, sat on the edge of the bed and nodded: "There are still a few days before the full moon." ”

Chu Ci didn't reply to her, but looked at the little life in the cradle without blinking and sighed: "It's so cute, she will definitely be a big beauty when she grows up!"

Lu Xiang was not as happy and excited as hers, she sighed leisurely, and her expression was very solemn.

Chu Ci turned his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I came back to attend my grandmother's funeral. Lu Xiang sighed, and an infinite amount of mist welled up in his eyes: "I haven't even seen her for the last time." ”

Chu Ci's eyes dimmed for a while, she sat on the edge of the bed and held Lu Xiang's hand, and comforted: "You gave birth abroad at that time, and there is no way to do it." ”

She sighed: "But the old lady is still very worried about you, if you want to go to the funeral, I will accompany you!"

It happened that Fu Heng had also ordered him to go on a business trip abroad, and there was no way to rush back to attend the funeral, so Chu Ci performed a courtesy instead of her.

Lu Xiang nodded, feeling a burst of pain in her head, she gasped: "I may leave after the funeral." ”

Chu Ci's eyes widened suddenly, and he raised his voice: "Leaving again?"

"yes, I want to stay in the U.S. permanently, I don't want to come back. ”

After all, here in Yicheng, there are many good memories for her, but there are also a lot of pains.

"You came back this time, does Mu Xiuchen know?"

"I don't know yet. ”

Lu Xiang sat for a while, feeling a little pain in her back, after she gave birth, there were a lot of problems on her body, in late June, she still felt that her body bones were cold for a while, and sometimes her back hurt very much.

Chu Ci looked at her with some sympathy: "You lie down for a while!"

She glanced at the baby in the bassinet and asked, "Don't you have a name yet?"

Lu Xiang lay on his side on the bed, shook his head, and closed his eyes: "Not yet, you can take one!"

Chu Ci bit his lip, stretched out his hand and poked the little girl's face, and said, "It's soft, like a bun, it's called a bun!"

"Don't!" Lu Xiang decisively refused, "Which girl's name is Baozi." ”

Chu Ci thought about it, she held her cheeks: "It's not called buns, it's called dumplings, how about tangyuaner?"

Lu Xiang couldn't bear it anymore and turned over: "Why is it all food, it's not good, keep these for your future children!"

Chu Ci pouted and snorted.

Lu Xiang thought for a while: "It's better to call it Mianmian, it's soft." ”

"Mianmian?" Chu Ci's eyes lit up: "Yes!"

She turned her face away and smiled at the baby in the cradle: "Mianmian, I'm your godmother!"

Lu Xiang pursed his lips and smiled, and asked, "How are you doing?"

"How's that?"

"Didn't you tell me that you and Fu Heng divorced, and then they didn't get in touch?"

Hearing Lu Xiang bring up this topic, Chu Ci suddenly laughed twice: "You just gave birth to a child, do you want to rest more!"

Lu Xiang snorted coldly: "You won't break off with him yet!"

Chu Ci lowered his head, then raised his face and smiled at Lu Xiang with some embarrassment: "If I say yes, will you laugh at me?"

Lu Xiang sighed and said softly: "No, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to see clearly and let yourself be hurt again." ”

She stretched out her hand and touched Chu Ci's hair: "I've known you for so many years, I don't know what kind of personality you have, I can actually almost expect this kind of result, he must have pestered you again later, you have a soft heart and want to turn back, right?"

Lu Xiang has experienced so many things, as if she has seen a lot, and she has no other hope now, just hope that her children can grow up safely.

Probably all women who are disappointed in love will pour all their feelings into their children.

There is nothing to worry about in this earthly world, only children can make her feel a glimmer of hope.

Chu Ci lowered his head, looked at the lines in his palm, and said softly: "I want to give myself another chance." ”

Lu Xiang raised his eyebrows: "Not afraid of being hurt?"

Chu Ci took a deep breath: "I'm afraid, but who hasn't been hurt in my relationship!" She smiled faintly at Lu Xiang: "Maybe I'll live well, love for a lifetime, maybe I'll be completely dead, scribble, how do you know if you don't try?"

Lu Xiang was speechless for a moment, and finally she smiled with a sigh and pinched Chu Ci's face: "Now, you are braver than me!"

It's really anyone braver than her.

In the past, she felt that she was really brave, with the determination and perseverance of a moth to a fire, even if she was injured, she would not be sad and painful, in fact, she did not feel much pain and sadness, but when she thought about it in the long night, she still felt a burst of coldness and coldness, which penetrated into the bone marrow and condensed into ice.

Chu Ci took her hand away: "Don't pinch my face, the meat will be loose for you." ”

Lu Xiang sneered, and after giving her a blank look, he sighed: "It's almost time, I'll ask Aunt Li to cook for us." ”

After Chu Ci had dinner at Lu Xiang's side, and after teasing the baby for a while, Jiang Xing sent her home.

On the way, Chu Ci asked, "No one knows about her coming back this time!"

"Well, the eldest lady is going to come back to the United States after participating in the event, and she may stay in the United States and not come back in the future?"

"Oh, you're going to protect her and try not to let people know her whereabouts. "I don't know why, Chu Ci is always worried about something in his heart.

"I will, you can rest assured. ”

His duty is to protect the eldest lady, and nothing else.

…………

Mrs. Mu's funeral was scheduled for the weekend.

Mu Xiuchen single-handedly handled it.

He is now the head of the Mu family, and in the previous infighting, he relied on Fu Heng's power and the connections accumulated before to win this tough battle.

Now, most of Mu's shares are controlled by him, not only can he control it, but also stabilize it, and his power should not be underestimated.

Before the funeral began, he said that if anyone dared to make trouble at the old lady's funeral, he would never show mercy.

Those uncles and uncles had also seen his methods these days, so they didn't dare to make a mistake.

Warmly dressed in a black Chanel dress, without any embellishment, she faced the guests with a serious face.

Someone kindly offered to let her take a break, but she also refused.

A look of abiding by etiquette and understanding etiquette.

The funeral began in the morning and continued until the afternoon, and Mu Xiuchen was busy greeting guests who came and went.

As the afternoon approached, there were fewer and fewer guests.

Mu Xiuchen walked over, and when he saw that Wen Wen was still standing with a very tired look, he frowned, lowered his voice and said, "You go to rest first, I'll greet you here." ”

Wen Wen shook her head: "No, I'm not tired." ”

She raised her head and was about to smile at Mu Xiuchen, but when her eyes shifted to the guests at the door, the smile on her lips froze suddenly.

Mu Xiuchen also felt the change in her expression, turned his face away, and frowned suddenly.

For a moment, he almost thought he was dazzled.

By the time he came back to his senses, Lu Xiang and Chu Ci had already walked in.

Lu Xiang and Chu Ci were both dressed in black dresses, with serious and dignified expressions.

However, the difference is that Lu Xiang wears a black gauze on his head and a black blazer outside, and the whole person is tightly wrapped.

She walked over, didn't even look at Mu Xiuchen, walked straight to the spirit of Old Lady Mu, and bowed according to etiquette: "Grandma, I'm sorry, I'm late." ”
