Chapter 218: Child
Li Ning shook Old Lady Shen's hand lightly, smiled and said with relief: "Grandma, you don't have to worry. Mu Zhi and I have always been very good, and as for the child's affairs, sooner or later. and Mu Zhi's body has been getting better day by day. ”
"Really? Don't fool me. Mrs. Shen asked suspiciously.
"Grandma, I don't dare to talk nonsense in front of you if you lend me two guts, not to mention that this is not something that can be done overnight, it takes time." Li Ning pretended to be obedient.
Old Lady Shen didn't think much about it when she heard this, but sighed and said: "If Li Ran's child is really Jinheng, then he has children as a younger brother, but Mu Zhi, this eldest brother, has no children, alas..."
"I'm sorry grandma." Although Li Ning knew that this matter had nothing to do with her, as Shen Muzhi's legal wife, she seemed to be inseparable from her.
"Silly boy, what's wrong with you." Mrs. Shen sighed again: "I've heard that you not only maintain the image of Mu Zhi everywhere outside, but also put the Shen family first, you are so sensible, the nurse feels more and more sorry for you." I only hope that you and Mu Zhi can be in harmony. ”
Halfway through speaking, Mrs. Shen paused, and looked at Li Ning with a little helplessness in her eyes, "Ning Ning, don't be upset when grandma says something." ”
"Grandma, if you have anything to say directly, I know that you are all for me and Mu Zhi's good, and you won't be unhappy." Li Ning nodded and smiled.
Mrs. Shen hesitated for a moment in embarrassment, and then held Li Ning's hand and said earnestly: "Grandma is saying that if, if you really can't have your own children, then maybe you can think of other ways, I heard that the success rate of IVF is also very high now, if not, you... It is better to adopt one from the Shen family's relatives, or adopt one. ”
Li Ning didn't expect Mrs. Shen to say these words. She knew that Mrs. Shen was thinking traditionally, wanted to hold her grandson, and hoped that Shen Muzhi would have a child as soon as possible. thought that she was so eager just for the inheritance of the Shen family.
But today, when she said that they should adopt a child, it didn't seem to be as she had thought.
"Grandma, will you be able to accept our adoption of a child? Even if it's not the bloodline of the Shen family? Li Ning asked in surprise.
"Although I still hope that you can have children of your own, if it really can't be, it's not impossible, after all... Mu Zhi always has to have a child. ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Shen held Li Ning's hand tightly and said to her in a human-like tone: "What's more, no matter how good the relationship between the two people is, there will always be a day when it will fade." Only children are the strong bond that holds a family together. ”
When Li Ning heard this, he somewhat understood what Old Lady Shen meant.
Mrs. Shen was worried that if the two of them had no children, Li Ning might leave the Shen family one day when the relationship between the husband and wife weakened.
After all, Li Ning is impeccable regardless of her family background and knowledge, and her own property is also properly managed, since she brought Renhe Hospital back to life, she has become famous in the circle of high society, such a woman naturally has no shortage of suitors, and she can have a child of her own with a normal man.
Li Ning smiled clearly, "Grandma, if you are worried about the relationship between me and Mu Zhi, and you propose to let us adopt a child, then you don't have to worry. Mu Zhi and I are really good, even if there is really a day when the relationship fades, Mu Zhi and I are still family and friends. The Shen family and Mu Zhi both took me to be thin, and I would not be such an ungrateful person. ”
Listening to Li Ning's sworn words, a smile crept into the corners of Old Lady Shen's eyes, "Ning Ning, since you can say this today, grandma also promised you that as long as you stay by Mu Zhi's side, grandma will definitely not treat you badly, and the Shen family will not treat you badly." ”
Li Ning smiled, leaned lightly on the shoulder of Mrs. Shen and said obediently: "With grandma protecting me, of course no one dares to bully me." ”
"That's right, grandma is protecting you." Mrs. Shen smiled and patted Li Ning's hand, becoming more and more satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.
After sending Mrs. Shen home, the driver turned back and sent Li Ning back to the head office to pick up the car.
Seeing that it was already lunch time, Li Ning hesitated for a moment and went upstairs again, asking Shen Muzhi to have lunch.
In front of the office door, before Li Ning entered, he happened to see Shen Muzhi and Shen Muxing open the door and walk out.
"Sister-in-law is back." Shen Mu said.
"Well, I'll come back to pick up the car, where are you going?" Li Ning nodded and asked.
"I'm going to have lunch, sister-in-law will go with me." Shen Muxing greeted.
Li Ning glanced at Shen Muzhi, hesitated for a moment and nodded, "That's fine." ”
The three of them walked downstairs together, Li Ning walked in front, and Shen Muzhi and Shen Muxing were two steps behind side by side.
On the way, Shen Muzhi suddenly said to Shen Muxing: "You didn't say just now that you had an appointment later, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
Shen Muxing blinked, "I have an appointment?" ”
Shen Muzhi looked at him with a heavy gaze and nodded imperceptibly.
"Ahh Yes, yes, look at my memory, big brother, if you don't remind me, I almost forgot. Then I'll go first. Then Shen Muxing said to Li Ning: "Sister-in-law, go eat with my brother, you eat happily, I still have to leave beforehand." ”
Without waiting for Li Ning to respond, Shen Muxing left first.
"Whatever you say, just go." Li Ning said strangely.
"What do you want to eat?" Shen Muzhi asked.
"It's all right, you decide."
The two got into the car and came to a Chinese restaurant not far from the head office.
"You're here a lot?" The two entered the small private room and sat down, Li Ning asked.
"Occasionally."
The waiter is very courier to the menu.
"I don't have much appetite, you can order something you like." Li Ning didn't touch the menu directly, but took a sip of warm water.
Shen Muzhi ordered a few lighter dishes, and the waiter took the order and withdrew.
After the door was closed, Shen Muzhi finally asked, "Has grandma embarrassed you?" ”
"How could Grandma embarrass me?" Li Ning asked rhetorically.
Shen Muzhi glanced at Li Ning lightly, "Because of my business." ”
It turned out that Shen Muzhi also knew it.
Li Ning smiled slightly, "You're too worried." Instead of embarrassing me, my grandmother persuaded me to comfort me. But as you might expect, it did talk about the life between us. And said..."
"Say what?" Seeing that Li Ning was spitting and spitting, Shen Muzhi simply asked.
At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and entered to serve the food, and Li Ning and the two were silent.
After the waiter left, Li Ning said bluntly: "I asked about your situation and the child's affairs." ”
Shen Muzhi was not surprised by these words, and said nothing.
