Chapter 148: Hospitality
Standing outside the door, this was the first time Xia Liu didn't want to enter his door. She frowned, feeling a little irritable, took a deep breath, sorted out her thoughts, and joked with Wang Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, if you don't tell Lao Xia secretly, I'll be out for a night tonight, so I won't go back." ”
"But," Before Wang Yuanyuan could finish speaking, the door was opened, and Mu Sinian's bewitching face appeared in front of the two people. Wang Yuanyuan immediately stopped, and the three of them did not speak, and the atmosphere was quite embarrassing for a while.
"Liuliu, you're all in front of your house, why don't you go in, or are you afraid to see someone you dare not see?" Mu Sinian bent his peach blossom eyes and stared at Xia Liu.
Xia Liu chuckled, "Since it's my home, it's my freedom to go in whenever I want, but Mr. Mu, as a guest, if you go out, it will be difficult to get in." Xia Liu hadn't been afraid of anyone yet, she met Mu Sinian's eyes, and her momentum was quite tough.
"I don't believe that Lu Liu will treat guests like this," Mu Si Nian said without believing it, but his body took a step back, he didn't believe that Xia Liu was just talking.
"Okay, please let Mr. Mu let me go, my sister and I are going home, is it okay?" Touching Wang Yuanyuan's somewhat cold little hands, Xia Liu's tone was polite and detached, worse than a stranger.
Wang Yuanyuan was originally at home, the house was heated, and she didn't feel cold without a coat, but outside the door, the temperature was still below zero, and it didn't take long for her little hands to be cold.
"Okay, grandpa, Ryuru is back." Mu Sinian took two steps back, made way out, and didn't forget to loudly inform Mu Chen that the granddaughter he had been thinking about was back.
As soon as his words fell, the two people who were in the living room looked at each other at the same time, and Mu Chen stood up directly and looked at Xia Liu with tears in his eyes.
Xia Liu was wearing the "equipment" on the day of the New Year, and the bright red woolen coat made her face look fairer. It's just that Xia Liu doesn't have the habit of rubbing frost and powder, and her fair skin is because her body has not recovered.
Xia Liu took Wang Yuanyuan's hand and stood at the door, pausing slightly, "Dad, Mr. Mu, I'll take Yuanyuan back to the room first." After speaking, she pulled Wang Yuanyuan to Wang Yuanyuan's room, and she educated the little girl as she walked, "Yuanyuan, you can't forget to wear a coat next time, what if you catch a cold?" ”
Mu Chen has never paid attention to Wang Yuanyuan, in his eyes, Wang Yuanyuan is just a little girl who was adopted by Xia Zhongming, and she is not qualified to talk to him. It's Mousse Year, and I chatted happily with the little girl. After Wang Yuanyuan sweetly shouted "grandpa" a few times, Mu Chen was angry with Xia Zhongming and ignored her. Wang Yuanyuan didn't want to put a hot face on her cold buttocks, she didn't see the stinky old man staring at her.
"Yuanyuan is not afraid of colds, Father Xia will stew pears for Yuanyuan, sweet and delicious." Wang Yuanyuan grinned and smiled sweetly.
The housekeeper was in Wang Yuanyuan's room, and he took Wang Yuanyuan to hide in Wang Yuanyuan's room under Xia Zhongming's signal today, and he never went out. When he first heard the names of Mu Chen and Mu Sinian, the housekeeper set off a huge wave in his heart, Wang Yuanyuan didn't know what these two names represented, but he knew.
originally thought that Xia Zhongming was an ordinary government clerk and entrusted Yuanyuan to him, although the life would be ordinary and ordinary, but Yuanyuan's life would not be in danger. Who knew that Xia Zhongming's dead wife turned out to be a member of the Mu family, and she was a descendant of the Mu family.
Xia Liu's foreign family turned out to be the Mu family!
The housekeeper stared at Xia Liu, "You didn't tell Mr. that you have a foreign family like this, is Yuanyuan moving from one quagmire to another?" The "sir" in his mouth is Wang Gui.
Xia Liu's face remained unchanged, "Wai family, since it is an outside family, it has nothing to do with the Xia family, their hands are not so long, you are too worried." ”
"You said that you would protect Yuanyuan, I hope Miss Xia will not forget." The housekeeper bent down and asked Xia Liu, the relationship between Wang Yuanyuan and the Xia family was a foregone conclusion, even if he took Wang Yuanyuan away now, he couldn't change this fact.
Wang Yuanyuan didn't understand what the two of them were talking about, she knew every word, but she couldn't understand it together, hey, no wonder the Chinese teacher said that Chinese culture is broad and profound. Wang Yuanyuan spread her hands, no matter what the two of them said, she picked up her little coat and put it on her body.
Mu Chen was stunned when he heard the sound of "Mr. Mu", and his face quickly turned gray, as if he had aged in an instant.
Xia Zhongming glanced at him, "You see, it's not that I'm getting in the way, it's that Liuliu doesn't want to ease relations with you at all, she has been doing well in the twenty-three years that you have been away, and in the future, she will be fine." ”
Mu Sinian walked over, took two glasses of water, and put them in front of Mu Chen and Xia Zhongming, "Uncle Xia, you have to take your time in everything, there was no chance before, now and in the future, if you exchange sincerity for sincerity, Xia Liu, she is not a hard-hearted person." ”
Mu Chen grabbed the driftwood like a drowning man, he clenched the crutches in his hand, "Si Nian is right, I have an old bone, I don't have much time, I just hope that I can listen to my granddaughter call me 'grandpa' sincerely before I enter the ground, and I will be satisfied." This wish was humble and small, but it was not so simple for this old man.
Xia Zhongming held the cup, his eyes touched the photo of Mousse on the wall, and he felt inexplicably sad in his heart. He suddenly felt that the old man had also lost his own daughter and felt guilty for it for many years.
"I will persuade Ryulu, it's her business to listen or not, don't get your hopes up, Ryu's temper is very stubborn." Xia Zhongming's tone was a little unnatural, he didn't forgive Mu Chen, he just felt that Mu Si didn't want to see her daughter and her father like strangers.
"Thank you, Uncle Xia, uh, Liuliu, she's a listener to you." Mu Sinian didn't know why Xia Zhongming suddenly softened his attitude, but for him and Old Man Mu, it was a good thing.
When Xia Liu came out of the room, Wang Yuanyuan was left in the room by her and asked her to accompany the housekeeper.
"Ryulu, come, come, be by Daddy's side." Xia Zhongming greeted her.
"Well, I'll do it." Xia Liu nodded obediently, in front of outsiders, she has always been obedient and well-behaved.
"This one, it's your grandfather, and this one, you've seen it too, this is your cousin," Xia Zhongming's expression was as unnatural as his tone.
Xia Liu's expression was cold for a moment, and none of the few people present were human spirits, even for a moment, the three people who were staring at Xia Liu also caught it.
"Grandpa, cousin."
Listening to it, Mu Chen still felt that she was shouting "Mr. Mu".
When Lu Li returned home, the face on his face had not yet dissipated. He kissed Xia Liu, isn't it worth being happy?
Lu Yu is taking care of the flowers with his wife in the flower room, and his wife, Yu Fei, is a botanist who likes to play with flowers and plants. Lu Yu's vacation is still a few days, so he simply accompanied her to relax.
"What's wrong with Xiao Qi, why do you look like this, so proud," Yu Fei racked his brains to find a word suitable for Lu Li. It's a pity that I still don't have much with Lu Li.
"He, I guess I'm going to see his little master again, look at it like this, he should have taken advantage of something. Alas, young lad, what an envy. Lu Yu is a person who came over, and when he saw Lu Li, who was happy, he remembered his original self, and he was stunned.
"Is it that in a while, I will be able to meet that brother and sister, by the way Ah Yu, you have always said that Xiao Qi has a sweetheart, but I still don't know who his sweetheart is." Yu Fei glanced at him, and kept talking about Xiao Qi's "sweetheart", and she was curious.
"Have you not worked in City A for a period of time before, you should know it, it is the girl of Xia Zhongming's family - Xia Liu." Lu Yu hugged his wife in his arms and whispered in her ear.
Speaking of which, the men of the Lu family seem to have such commonalities, no matter how cold and calm their temperament is, as soon as they arrive at their beloved, they are like a different person, such as Lu Shen, such as Lu Yu, and the older young man who is tired of being by his girlfriend's side - Lu Yan.
Hearing the words "Xia Liu", Yu Fei immediately turned around and looked at Lu Yu with surprise, "Ah Yu, don't lie to me, it's really Xia Liu, Xia Zhongming, Uncle Xia's Xia Liu?" ”
Lu Yu didn't know why, "What's wrong, it's her, is there any problem?" ”
Yu Fei's face was excited, and her beautiful face smiled like a spring flower, "Great, Liuliu is about to become my family, do you know, I can worship her, I have seen her save people before, and I feel that I have become her little fan sister." ”
"Little fan girl?" Lu Yu didn't quite understand what this word meant.
Yu Fei glanced at him and said coquettishly: "Old antique." ”
Lu Yu touched his nose, his daughter-in-law has been growing up in her little temperament recently.
Yan Hua sat in the hall, in front of him was a medicinal diet made according to Xia Liu's prescription, drinking it in the stomach, it was warm and comfortable, and the taste was not as bad for the mouth as ordinary medicinal food. Lu Shen saw that she was drinking happily, and he was very grateful to Xia Liu, because of the heavy work, Yan Hua's stomach was often uncomfortable, and he was much more relieved to see that she could drink the medicinal food.
In private, he asked people to take this list to several famous old Chinese medicine doctors, and they all said that there was no problem, so he dared to let it be made for Yan Hua in the kitchen.
Yan Hua drank the soup in a small sip, and when he saw Lu Li walking in with a happy face, he immediately stopped him, his eyes rolled, his son is going to see Xiaoliu, "Xiaoli, what are you doing when you go out today, you are always not at home, don't you want to see your mother?" ”
"Mom, I just went out to meet a friend." Lu Li stopped helplessly, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed.
"Tell Mom, did you go out to see Xia Liu?" Looking at this happy face, she must have taken advantage of Xiaoliu, Gai Ming'er, she has to pull Lao Lu and talk to Lao Xia, Lu Li's stinky boy's divorce should not make the Xia family have any pimples in their hearts.
