Chapter 272: Be with Li Jingyan
"Knock-"
Mu Shihuan knocked on the door.
"Come in." A deep, slightly old, voice rang out through the door.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Shihuan pushed the door in.
This was the first time she had seen Old Man Mu in a sober state, he was practicing calligraphy at the desk, and his leisurely clothes were lined with a bit of idle clouds and wild cranes, but the majesty emanating from his body was still a lot.
It is a kind of majesty that can only be found in a high position after fighting for most of his life.
Mu Shihuan watched quietly and said in a low voice: "Grandpa......"
Old Man Mu's writing action was sudden.
Slowly raising his head, his and Mu Shihuan's eyes met in the air, as if emotions were surging in his chest, and when he spoke again, he clearly trembled slightly: "It's Shi Huan......"
Trembling, he stretched out his hand.
Mu Shi walked happily in front of him and held him up.
"Grandpa."
"Huh."
Tears flashed in his eyes, Old Man Mu looked at her, couldn't help but reach out and pat her hand, and his voice gradually choked: "Shi Huan...... Shi Huan, you're back...... Grandpa thought it was ......"
The words are sincere, entangled with family affection and warmth.
Mu Shihuan was in a short trance, but she returned to normal in only two seconds.
"Well, grandpa, I'm back." She followed his words, looking well-behaved.
Old Man Mu became more and more excited.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he grabbed her hand and asked, "Have you come back to incense your father?" ”
Mu Shihuan opened his mouth, and finally shook his head silently.
Old Man Mu sighed: "I know, it must be Uncle Ming who is in a hurry to bring you first, it's okay, let's go to the ancestral hall in the back now, go see your father, and tell him that you are back." ”
"Good ......" Mu Shihuan would not object, "Grandpa, I'll help you." ”
Old Man Mu was indescribably gratified, and his eyes seemed to be red by two points: "Good boy, good boy......"
Mu Shihuan didn't say anything more.
Due to physical reasons, both of them walked very slowly, and on the way to the ancestral hall at the back, many people could be seen busy with tonight's birthday banquet, there were servants, but more people were found by Mu Sinian.
Mu Shihuan just glanced at it.
Finally, the two arrived at the ancestral hall.
Uncle Ming followed after the two of them went downstairs, and seeing this, he stepped forward and took a stick of incense and lit it, and handed it to Mu Shihuan: "Miss Shi Huan......"
Mu Shihuan took it.
Raising her eyes, she saw Mu Jingzhou's tablet.
She stooped and bowed, then knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Daddy......" she said softly, "I'm back to see you." ”
"Jingzhou," Old Man Mu leaned on crutches and let out a long sigh, "Shi Huan is back, I brought her to see you, she is fine, you should rest assured, right?" ”
"Master, today is a happy day, Miss Shi Huan is also back, don't be too sad," Uncle Ming helped him and whispered, "The doctor explained, you can't be emotional, you forgot?" ”
Old Man Mu nodded and shook his head again.
At the end, he said to Uncle Ming: "You go over first, I will talk to Shi Huan, our ancestors and grandchildren." ”
Uncle Ming was not at ease: "Master, I'm outside, I have to accompany you, call me if you have something." ”
Old Man Mu was not reluctant.
"Okay."
Uncle Ming retreated and walked under a tree not far away, not only to keep an eye on Old Man Mu's situation at all times, but also to keep a distance to give the two of them space not to hear.
After a while, only Mu Shihuan and Old Man Mu were left in the ancestral hall.
Mu Shihuan was still kneeling.
Old Man Mu looked at Mu Jingzhou's tablet, sighed, and sighed: "Your father loves you very much, he found you and brought you back to the Mu family, personally designed the room for you, and explained that the family must be good to you inside and out, because you are his daughter, the eldest lady of the Mu family." ”
The heart, as if it had been stabbed.
Mu Shihuan suddenly bit his lip.
"I know." She whispered.
She did know, because she remembered it, Mu Jingzhou's kindness to her and love for her was undoubted, and she felt it clearly.
"I know......" she repeated uncomfortably.
Old Man Mu lowered his head and looked at her.
"Shi Huan, ......"
"Grandpa."
Complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, and Old Man Mu was silent for a long time before he said, "Is it strange grandpa?" Do you blame your mother, do you blame Uncle Ming? ”
The topic changed suddenly, but Mu Shihuan understood what he meant.
She didn't speak.
Old Man Mu sighed: "Don't blame them, if you want to blame, blame grandpa for being useless, didn't guard the Mu family for you, made you suffer a lot, blame grandpa for not knowing people clearly, and brought a white-eyed wolf back." ”
Every word is entwined with regret and self-blame.
"Uncle Ming has dedicated his life to the Mu family and the company, how much he feels sorry for me and the Mu family, how much he hates Mu Sinian's ruthlessness, he wants to take the Mu family back for me and for you, but also for your father, so force you to be tighter, don't blame him."
He approached, leaned over and touched Mu Shihuan's head, as if relieved: "Grandpa was sober a year ago, and I Mu Hangyuan worked hard all my life, but I was confused and demented for two years, suffering Uncle Ming, and also suffering you, Shi Huan, it is grandpa who is sorry for you." ”
Mu Shihuan raised his head.
"Nope." She shook her head, her voice hoarse and deep.
She seemed firm, but it was a lie.
Old Man Mu saw it.
"I know you've complained in your heart, it's okay, it's not your fault," he continued to reassure, "you've done a good job, if your dad was still around, he would feel sorry for you, but he would be even more proud of you." ”
He sighed.
"Okay, get up, kneeling for a long time is not good for your health." He tried to help her up.
"Grandpa, I'll do it myself." Mu Shihuan stood up by himself and helped him to the chair beside him.
was about to let go, but was grabbed by Old Man Mu's wrist.
His hands seemed to tremble slightly.
"Grandpa......"
"Don't worry," Old Man Mu smiled lovingly, "After all, the Mu family will be left to you, and before it is handed over to you, Grandpa will take care of everything for you, so that you have no worries." ”
Mu Shihuan half-squatted beside him.
"Grandpa."
"Huh."
Mu Shihuan looked at him and said, "I don't have the ability to manage the company, and I don't care about the company, so you don't have to leave it to me." ”
Old Man Mu was angry: "Nonsense, you are the eldest lady of the Mu family, how can you ......?"
"But I'm not a child of the Mu family, am I?"
The words came to an abrupt end.
Old Man Mu's breathing was slightly short.
"You ......"
Mu Shihuan smiled a little reluctantly but relieved: "Grandpa, it turns out that you know, what about Mom?" Does she know? ”
Old Man Mu's expression suddenly became complicated.
"Shi Huan ......"
Mu Shihuan shook his head and interrupted him: "I knew a year ago, someone gave me a paternity certificate to prove that I am not related to you Mu Sinian and you, that is, I am not a child of the Mu family." ”
She looked at him for a moment, not wanting to miss any change in the expression on his face.
But alas......
No.
Or rather, she couldn't tell.
Old Man Mu was just angry, and his body seemed to tremble a little under anger: "Is it Mu Sinian?" What did he do?! ”
"I don't know," Mu Shihuan smiled hard, "but it shouldn't be him, he still says the same to me as before, he always says...... He promised my father that he would take care of me and make me safe and happy for the rest of my life. ”
"He's a bastard!" Old Man Mu was angry, "Shi Huan, you believe that no one can believe that wolf-hearted white-eyed wolf, you know?" His words...... Can't believe it! Not a word! ”
"Ahem...... Ahem! Suddenly, he coughed.
"Grandpa!" Mu Shihuan hurriedly stood up and patted him on the back.
Old Man Mu coughed twice and gradually calmed down.
He grabbed Mu Shihuan's wrist tightly, and every word seemed to be engraved on her heart: "Shi Huan, remember what grandpa said, if you can't believe Mu Sinian, he's a bastard!" ”
The strength is very heavy, Mu Shihuan's skin is already fair, and it is easy to leave traces, and at this moment there are already red marks.
It hurts a little.
But her face remained the same.
"Okay, I'll listen to grandpa." She said.
Old Man Mu relieved a little bit at this time.
"Anyway, the company ...... Grandpa will definitely be handed over to you, you will always be a child of the Mu family, this is what I mean, and it is also what your father means, Shi Huan, obedient. He looked at her and said.
His gaze sank a lot, and it was no longer pure pity.
Mu Shihuan finally nodded: "Okay." ”
Old man Mu smiled: "Good, that's right, the company originally belongs to you, you have to guard it for your grandfather and your father." ”
It was like a boulder pressing on his chest, which was very heavy and stuffy, and Mu Shihuan could hardly breathe.
But she still nodded: "Yes." ”
Old Man Mu smiled happily, as if he had a thought.
"By the way," he asked, "are you feeling better?" I heard from Uncle Ming, you will be in the hospital as soon as you come back? What's going on? Li Jingyan didn't take good care of you? ”
cold, Li Jingyan's name drilled into his ears.
Before Mu Shihuan could say anything, Old Man Mu suddenly sighed: "You and Li Jingyan, and ...... Mu Nuan, it's not easy for outsiders to interfere in matters between you, but Shi Huan, you just need to remember that no matter what you want to do, grandpa will support you, since you like Li Jingyan so much, just be with him. ”
"What belongs to you, whether it's a person or something, should be firmly held in your hands, you know?"
Mu Shihuan moved his lips.
As if thinking of something, Old Man Mu continued: "You probably don't know that Li Jingyan is now the second largest shareholder of the Mu family, whether it is out of love or for the company, you all have to be good." Shi Huan, do you understand? ”
Mu Shihuan was silent.
Old Man Mu frowned and asked, "What's the matter, you guys quarreled?" ”
Mu Shihuan just shook his head.
"You ......" Old Man Mu looked at her for a long time, and finally just said, "That's it, grandpa doesn't force you, I know that you are the most reassuring and know what you want, and Li Jingyan is your own choice and insists on marrying." ”
He waved his hand, not giving Mu Shihuan a chance to speak: "It's still a long time before the dinner, you got up early, right?" Let's go upstairs and rest first, Uncle Ming has already asked the aunt at home to clean up the room for you, go and have a look, it was designed for you by your father. ”
……
Mu Shihuan left obediently.
Seeing that her back could no longer be seen, Uncle Ming stepped forward to support Old Man Mu and whispered, "Old man......"
Old Man Mu looked ahead, and there was no trace of a loving smile on his face.
