Chapter 855: The Dao is one foot high, and the demon is one foot high
The tree-lined avenue outside the villa is very quiet, and it is already a little dark at this time, and it is very quiet at a glance, only the occasional rustle of leaves in the wind reminds people here that there are still sounds in the world.
Mu's driver had been waiting for a long time, and seeing that neither of them had any intention of getting into the car, he didn't say much, but just waited quietly, he worked for these wealthy families, and he knew very well when to disappear.
Mu Mu didn't react when she saw that Jiang Wanting didn't react after she finished speaking, thinking that she had listened: "Get in the car, I'll ask the driver to send you home, and you will break off with Xiao Ze from now on." He's always hot for three minutes, and as long as you break it first, he'll soon forget about it. β
"Thank you, aunt, but I still don't need to." Jiang Wanting said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Mu Jiangze said that he would come to pick me up, but I can't release his pigeons." β
Mu Mu was displeased when she heard this, and she asked rhetorically: "Do you want to say that Xiao Ze is different from you and others?" β
"I didn't mean that." Jiang Wanting just wanted to take the opportunity to refute Mu's previous evaluation of her, she did say that, but what she said was different from what others said: "I just want to say that I don't need to cater to that atmosphere and your rules." β
Mu's words made Jiang Wanting feel an insult of being slapped in public, and she was very grateful to Mu's mother for helping her out of the siege, but this did not mean that she had to accept Mu's contempt because of this.
"And what do you want to do?" Mu's mother has been smooth sailing from young to old, she has a harmonious relationship with her husband, and her son is also excellent and filial, except that she has never held a grandson to let her enjoy her family, her life is simply the perfect envy of every woman.
In Mu's world, this kind of life is natural, she doesn't feel the need to change, just like a canary who has been pampered since birth, she won't understand why the sparrow outside the window is chirping and jumping.
Jiang Wanting said: "I am Mr. Mu's assistant, and I need to accompany him to attend the meeting instead of the tea party." β
At this time, she didn't realize that before she knew it, she had made this play real, seriously responded to Mu's mother's questions, and seriously expressed her demands, but she really became Mu Jiangze's fiancΓ©e.
As if to add some corroboration to Jiang Wanting's words, Mu Jiangze drove to the side at the right time.
He walked to Jiang Wanting's side easily, greeted Mu's mother first, and then said, "Mom, since you already have a driver, then I'll take Wanting back." β
Anyway, Mu's mother has already misunderstood, Mu Jiangze feels that instead of being asked other questions, it is better to do the play in place, and play a love with Jiang Wanting to watch her, in short, at all costs, to coax this queen mother first as the most urgent thing at present.
He didn't know that there had been a little friction between Mu Mu and Jiang Wanting just now, and this kind of behavior was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
It's just that Jiang Wanting understands and thinks that this is a good way to reverse Mu's mother's impression, so she took the initiative to step forward and hold Mu Jiangze's arm: "Mom, then let's go first." β
The action stiffened for a while, Mu Jiangze took the opportunity to help Jiang Wanting fix her hair to adjust the action, and then turned his head and left, he was afraid that Mu Mu would follow again, so he walked fast, and he couldn't wait to take Jiang Wanting to the car immediately, and then immediately drove away.
didn't realize that this behavior was completely misunderstood by Mu's mother as her son showing affection in front of her, and Mu Jiangze was simply relaxed when he was driving.
Jiang Wanting sat in the passenger seat as a general evacuee, and it was also funny when she thought of what had just happened, but at the same time, her mobile phone suddenly rang.
When she picked it up and saw that it was a message from Mu's mother, she remembered that when Mu's mother sent the information related to the tea party to herself in the morning, the two added friends, and then asked Mu Jiangze while clicking on it: "Your mother sent a message, how should I reply?" β
Mu Jiangze, who had only been relaxed for a few minutes, suddenly felt like a big enemy again, and he said: "If she says that she is going to my house now, then you will reply that we are going on vacation, ask her to come back another day, and say that we will go to see her in a while, and we must ask her to be calm." β
"Then you're just overthinking." Jiang Wanting looked at the sentence on the phone screen, and read it out helplessly.
Mu's mother was very speechless when she sent this message, she saw that Mu Jiangze was so different from Jiang Wanting, she just thought that her son had true love, so she didn't doubt that he felt beaten, and she only hated that she hadn't beaten the pair of mandarin ducks with a big stick earlier.
But seeing that Mu Jiangze was sincere, Mu's mother felt that she couldn't persuade her, so she could only teach Jiang Wanting.
"Your mother doesn't seem to like me very much, you can tell her that we broke up after this play, and she will be very happy." Jiang Wanting breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was also a little empty, she found that she really seemed to like the feeling of being in trouble with Mu Jiangze.
Since she was very young, Jiang Wanting has been a good girl who follows the rules, she has been studying hard every day, not to mention skipping class, and even lying is rare, but after meeting Mu Jiangze this time, she actually had the courage to deceive.
"Then you still don't know my mother too well." Mu Jiangze pulled back Jiang Wanting's thoughts in a helpless tone: "I guess she must be eager to bring you, a prospective daughter-in-law, to show off to her friends, even if she is not satisfied, she will definitely not show it in front of outsiders, after all, she has always been a short-sighted person." β
In fact, what Mu Jiangze said was not wrong, Mu's mother showed an attitude of defending Jiang Wanting in front of outsiders from beginning to end, and only after the tea party did she express her disappointment and dislike.
had to sigh a long time, Jiang Wanting told Mu Jiangze the things at the tea party in detail and truthfully.
But Mu Jiangze didn't care: "I don't like to deal with those people, only my mother likes them, if you let me sit there and drink a cup of tea for an afternoon, it's better to let me go for an afternoon meeting, it's really difficult for you." β
He understands Jiang Wanting's personality and knows that it is not easy for her to cope with these scenes, but Mu's mother is really menacing this time and he has to guard against it, so he immediately promised: "Your job during this time is to help me deal with my mother, and you don't have to do anything else, but the position is retained, the salary is also paid, and today's outfit is all given to you as props." β
Even if it is an actor, it is not low to get so much appearance fee in a day, Jiang Wanting made a little calculation, and immediately said that the deal was made, but she still had some questions: "Actually, you can tell your mother directly, I don't think she is an unreasonable person, why should you be so embarrassed and embarrassed for me." β
Lowering his gaze from afar, Mu Jiangze looked at the road in front of him, and said slowly: "I'm not too young, my parents are also old, they must be uncomfortable when they look at the children and grandchildren of their peers around them, I should always give them a thought." β
After saying this, he felt that he seemed to be acting too deeply, and added: "Of course, they have been urging me to go on a blind date. With you helping me block, I won't have to rack my brains to find a reason to avoid blind dates in the future. β
"Yes, you can escape the blind date openly." Jiang Wanting said what was in her heart very tacitly.
Just when they were talking and laughing, Mu Jiangze's mobile phone rang again, he was in a good mood so he answered it without thinking, and it was Han Jiu's voice from the other side: "Mr. Mu, I'm Han Jiu, I want to ask you to have a meal with Xiaoxiao, I don't know if you have time." β
The curvature of the corners of his lips instantly lowered, and Mu Jiangze's happiness just now was gone, but he still asked very calmly: "Why did you suddenly think of inviting me to dinner?" You've only been discharged from the hospital recently, so it's better to recuperate at home. β
Han Jiu had indeed only been discharged from the hospital for a short time, but his recovery was very good, and now he was completely no different from a normal person. As long as he didn't say anything, no one could have guessed that this young man who seemed to be calm and full had suffered from a terminal illness and had been struggling with life and death for several months.
After talking a little about his own situation, Han Jiu's mood was obviously very good, because the call was outside, and Lin Xiaolin's voice in the background was extremely clear.
Jiang Wanting, who was on the side, listened to her ask Han Jiu what kind of supper she was going to eat, and she only felt that she felt full sweetness through the signal.
Jiang Wanting has always been skeptical about the part of Mu Jiangze's previous remarks about his feelings for Lin Xiaoxiao, but at this moment, she read the loss from Mu Jiangze's expression. It can be seen that Mu Jiangze's freedom is just used to deceive others, and he can't just say let it go.
But Mu Jiangze still had to pretend to be disapproving, he said: "That's really congratulations, you must remember to call me when you have a wedding with Lin Xiaoxiao, otherwise you will be unjust." β
"Of course." Han Jiu agreed very happily, "It's just that before this, Xiaoxiao and I still want to have a meal with you alone, we want to thank you in person, and it can be regarded as a good sentence for some things." β
Why the matter came to an end, Han Jiu didn't say it clearly, but everyone who heard this sentence knew it.
I don't know how I ended the call with a pleasantry, Mu Jiangze drove the car very slowly, he looked at the receding street lamps on both sides of the road, and his eyes gradually felt as uncomfortable as if they had entered the sand.
Jiang Wanting next to her was silent and silent, knowing that what Mu Jiangze needed most now was to be alone and quiet, but when she saw him like this, she couldn't rest assured, she wanted to hand over a tissue and then pat Mu Jiangze on the shoulder and tell him to be strong, but when she thought of Mu Jiangze's death, she had to give up.
In the end, Jiang Wanting only reminded her: "Maybe what you should do now is to concentrate on driving." This sentence tactfully pulled Mu Jiangze's soul back.
