Chapter 15: The Jumping Clown
Seeing that the day had come for him to agree with the Song family to return the dowry things, Song Ran got up from bed early in the morning. Ouyang Xue saw that she had changed her hairstyle and put on the dress she had bought before, and immediately arranged for someone to change all the clothes in the cabinet, which were the most popular styles in the magic capital at the moment.
Mu Feng couldn't attend because he had an important meeting to hold, and Ouyang Xue attended it instead of him.
Mu Zixin wanted to join in the fun, pretending to be sick and lazy and unwilling to go to school, and finally Mrs. Mu opened her mouth to stay as she wished, and was only allowed to sit obediently on the side and not interject.
"Won't this Song family stop coming, do they want to swallow their aunt's dowry?"
It was already eleven o'clock in the morning, and when she didn't come back to see that it was time for lunch, Mu Zixin was wearing light blue silk pajamas, lying on the sofa, boredly fiddling with the bear music box brought back from the UK.
As soon as the words fell, Liu's mother walked towards her with a group of people.
This is the second time that Mrs. Song has stepped into the gate of Mu's house, the white towering wall is connected to the black iron gate, and there is a majestic stone lion on the left and right.
Through the iron gate courtyard, it is divided into several parts by pebbles of different shapes, and on the right side against the wall, several banyan trees are hundreds of years old, with lush branches and leaves.
The whole courtyard is covered, and on the hottest day of summer, you don't feel hot when you stand in the yard.
Five cars are parked on the left side of the courtyard, and a small garden on one side is planted with delicate English roses, and the evergreens on both sides are neatly trimmed.
Several servants performed their duties, some were trimmers, some were cleaners, and some were car-maintainers.
Everywhere reminds them that the Mu family is different from the Song family, and their Song family is not comparable.
"Hello old sister, I'm here to disturb you again today!"
"Where, sit down and drink something, the sun outside these days is scorching. We old bones, we will suffer from heat stroke if we walk down there. ”
Several people sat down one after another, and their eyes involuntarily looked at Song Ran.
Mrs. Song also stopped drinking the juice in her mouth, and Song Yan was looking for Song Ran's figure as soon as she entered the door, no matter how much she pinched her hand, she couldn't change the facts she saw in front of her.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just think Ran Ran is so beautiful."
Song Ran's appearance completely inherited the advantages of Mu Yue and Song Shaojie, and when she changed her hairstyle and clothes at the moment, she really looked away, and thought she was Mu Zixin's friend.
"I think so, too, when she was young, she should have been a flower-like girl, dressed old-fashioned, and I didn't know that I thought it was me, the old lady, bullying her!"
"What is grandmother talking nonsense, if it weren't for you, there would be no Rana now."
Song Ran walked towards Mrs. Mu, took off her high-heeled gold woven slippers, squatted on one side and gently massaged her legs, her technique was very skillful.
Mrs. Mu has been looking at her granddaughter in recent days, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it, and even Mu Zixin, who has always been very arrogant, also accused her of partiality.
The warm picture made Mrs. Song angry, obviously she was her own granddaughter, or the surname of the Song family, how could she be like an outsider. completely forgot that the Mu family picked up Song Ran and begged her bitterly, but was coaxed by her to get on the train.
"Old lady, look, everything on the list is here!"
Song Shaojie was reluctant to stay at Mu's house for a moment, Song Ran's changes made him faintly uneasy, as if some things had been out of his control, but he was powerless to control them.
"Mother Liu, you have someone come over and take inventory."
Mother Liu looked at the dowry list and carefully counted the items in more than a dozen boxes three times, and nodded after making sure that there were no problems.
"Ranran, you're looking, after all, these things are you!"
Mrs. Mu was blunt, and in front of everyone, she said that the Mu family would not want these things, everything was Song Ran's, and the people of the Song family in the province were making a fuss about these things.
"Antiques, calligraphy and paintings can be seen clearly at a glance, and these sixteen sets of jewelry are also neat, but the color of this gem is a little dull, and it is also covered with dirty things, which can be seen that it is carried by people every day. These are not important, if they are dirty, they can be cleaned, and if they are broken, they can be repaired, but this 10,000 pieces of ocean, if you don't count them, you always feel that what is missing? ”
Song Ran clasped her hands in front of her chest, her chin rose slightly, and she looked very embarrassed when she looked at the money in the box.
"Miss Cousin, it was my negligence, I'll let the number count now."
"Count what, Song Ran Laozi is your father, and the things I sent over still need you to point fingers in front of me."
Song Shaojie's face was hideous, and he was furious, he thought of all the ways he could think of in order to raise money in the past few days, so he almost went out and went back to Beiping to find someone to borrow, and now he has to be ridiculed by his daughter here, and her every sentence is like a needle poking at his heart, how can he swallow this breath.
"Sister, no matter how much you hate me, you can't humiliate your father like this."
"There's no place for you to talk here, you shut up for me."
Song Ran threw the list in her hand towards the ground, and the corner of the booklet bounced on the ground again, and unfortunately hit Song Yan's knee, which made her cry out in pain, and her knee turned red after a while.
A group of people were completely suppressed by Song Ran's fierce momentum, and they actually saw a terrifying killing intent from her.
Only Mu Zixin shrank in the corner of the sofa alone, but she was secretly happy in her heart, look at it, the fox's tail finally can't be hidden, it's obviously a sinister and cunning stinky fox, and she has to pretend to be a little rabbit in front of her grandmother, she doesn't have any eyes to look at it.
"Lady Ran, our Song family also has to have some face, so as not to lose such a person in this matter, if something is missing, my old woman will make up for it if she gives up her life."
Old Mrs. Song's face was pale, but she had no choice but to ease the atmosphere.
"What grandma said, my father misunderstood what I meant, how he was unkind to me, and we are always father and daughter. Originally, I thought that my father's family and you had just moved to the magic capital, and they were buying a house and a car, and none of the items in the house were new, so they didn't need to spend money. The neighbors just got acquainted with each other, and it always took a few banquets to hold before anyone got to know the Song family.
It's just that the granddaughter thought about it carefully, and her father couldn't take out 10,000 oceans in his hand, so he thought that he would give 5,000 oceans first, and then let someone send the rest when he had enough money.
It's better than thinking about some crooked ways, but my granddaughter is thinking about you. ”
Song Ran lowered her posture in an instant, which caught people off guard, and she couldn't tell which one was the real her, Song Shaojie looked at Song Ran and didn't understand it more and more.
"It's still a child's heart, the left is just the family's money, but it's just the right pocket and the left pocket."
Old Lady Song answered.
"No, Aunt Xiao took out her own private money, no wonder there are 10,000 yuan, when I was communicating with my sister before, she secretly told me that Aunt Xiao has a lot of private money, enough for the two of us to buy a lot of things we like in Lido Department Store together."
Song Ran exclaimed, her little hand covered her mouth, and her big eyes blinked innocently, with the same expression on her face.
Several people from the Song family on the sofa were sitting on pins and needles, and a storm was coming.
