Text Chapter 55: Just Waiting for the Heart
Yan Zhengqing, who had been informed, was standing on the stairs with Zhang Rou, his eyes swept over Yan Qingruo with a look of disgust, and then when he saw Chu Mu, he immediately changed to a flattering face.
"Chu Shao, why didn't you say it in advance when you came?"
Yan Zhengqing shook off Zhang Rou's hand, walked down the stairs with kind eyes, and then came to Chu Mu's side, his old face looked very flattering.
Chu Mu was unmoved, as if he hadn't heard his words, and his eyes kept staring motionless at Yan Qingruo who was kneeling on the ground.
Yan Zhengqing saw that Chu Mu didn't have a conversation, so he had to cough dryly, and saw Yan Qingruo kneeling on the ground along his line of sight, and had to lead the topic to her.
"Chu Shao, don't you know that this unfilial girl actually beat her sister, it really chills me to watch, that's why I punish her like this."
Seeing this, Zhang Rou, who was standing behind, immediately pulled Sister-in-law Jin, who was busy on the side, and said, "Sister-in-law Jin, you go and invite the eldest lady downstairs." ”
Chu Mu's gaze finally moved away from Yan Qingruo's face, but he looked at Yan Zhengqing with doubts in his eyes, as if he was very interested in what was happening.
"Father-in-law, you must have misunderstood something, my family will never do fratricidal things."
Li Shaolin supported Yan Qingruo's sense of justice, and then when his eyes fell on her pale little face, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes, and he continued to speak.
"Even if you really do something wrong, you can't do this to her, not to mention that she is your daughter, you are doing this is corporal punishment, which is against humanity!"
Yan Zhengqing snorted coldly, he looked down on Li Shaolin in his heart, his hands behind his back, his gaze crossed him, and he raised his head slightly contemptuously.
"It's not your turn to speak here, don't call me father-in-law, I don't have a son-in-law of a gangster!"
was choked by Yan Zhengqing, and his face turned red, and he wanted to refute his words, but Yan Qingruo stretched out his hand and shook his hand vigorously, telling him not to speak for her.
This scene happened to be fully watched by Chu Mu, who was standing aside, and the palm that hung down leisurely at his side involuntarily tightened into a fist.
"Let's go."
The emotionless words sounded in the silent living room, and everyone couldn't help but look at the person who spoke, and after seeing that it was Chu Mu, they were even more confused about what he meant.
"Don't eat at meal time, choose to watch the weak here?"
Knowing that everyone's eyes were on him, he didn't look up at them, but spoke unhurriedly.
Yan Zhengqing was speechless, he looked at Yan Qingruo who was kneeling on the ground without an idea, and then looked at Chu Mu, who was already indifferent, "Then, I'm ......"
"Those who do wrong things will definitely be punished, otherwise what should the law do in this world?"
Chu Mu smiled politely, his eyes did not continue to fall on Yan Qingruo's body, but looked at Yan Zhengqing with puzzled eyes, as if he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.
When Li Shaolin heard this, he wanted to rush forward, all his previous expressions were disguised, otherwise he wouldn't have treated her like this.
Before he could stand up, he was dragged by Yan Qingruo, Li Shaolin looked at her very puzzled, only to see her shake her head slowly, so that he could not be impatient.
Li Shaolin, who was still thinking about refutation, had no choice but to give up and squat aside in silence, choosing to ignore all this.
Feeling the gaze that shot not far away and made her beg for mercy, Yan Qingruo glared back at him angrily, Chu Mu didn't help her, it didn't matter, she actually added fuel to the fire!
Chu Mu retracted his gaze, didn't say anything more, and left straight under the guidance of Yan Zhengqing.
Yan Zhixin, who had wasted half a day to cover the scars on her face, had just come downstairs, Chu Mu and Yan Zhengqing had already taken their seats, and between beauty and pity, Yan Zhixin decisively chose beauty.
In the huge living room, Yan Qingruo knelt next to the sofa, and the dining room was not far away.
At such a close distance, no matter who has any movements, everyone can see it at a glance, especially Chu Mu's position, which is damn just facing Yan Qingruo's direction.
"Mu, you are finally willing to come to see me, you didn't answer my phone call after the last cocktail party, making me think that you are still angry with me."
Yan Zhixin sat beside Chu Mu and looked at him coquettishly, her eyes swept over Yan Qingruo behind the glass window from time to time.
Chu Mu's gaze swept over Yan Qingruo in the distance, she was whispering to Li Shaolin, who was kneeling with her, a burst of annoyed light shot out of his eyes, and he turned his head to look at Yan Zhixin, who was smiling.
"What did you do wrong?"
It was just a faint inquiry, but it made the hands of the people present holding the chopsticks tight.
Yan Zhixin was even more flattering and stiff on her face, her eyes didn't dare to look at him directly, she smiled dryly and gave him a chopstick dish to hide the embarrassment on her face.
"I'm afraid that I will accidentally make a mistake, if there is anything that makes you unhappy, you must tell me, and I will definitely change."
She was very serious when she said this, as if he could make a huge difference with just one word.
Zhang Rou on the side also helped to play Tai Chi, and looked at Chu Mu with a smile, "Yes, Xin'er has been our treasure since childhood, if you are unhappy there, I hope you can be more tolerant." ”
"It's okay, girls are very precious, this is what my mother taught me."
Chu Mu nodded, and all the words were said very reasonably, which made everyone present look at each other in unison.
Yan Zhi, who was slightly nervous, saw that the atmosphere had eased, so she put her arm on Chu Mu's arm, and the happiness on her face became more and more full, as if they were a newlywed.
Chu Mu tried to hide the impatience in his eyes, and pushed her hand away by picking up vegetables, but his gaze swept over her fingers, and then he spoke slowly: "Where's your ring?" ”
Yan Zhi withdrew her hand with a weak heart, and subconsciously lowered her head and didn't dare to look at them.
"I put away the ring, this is the first ring you gave me, I naturally want to put it away."
"Well, although the ring is an heirloom of the Chu family, it is only passed on to the prospective daughter-in-law. But it's not that important, so it won't be shelved. ”
Chu Mu smiled faintly, and the tone of the three words of heirloom was as ordinary as saying what to eat at night.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people at the banquet were full of shock, and they felt very incredible.
Yan Zhixin's face immediately became ugly, her hands were clenched tightly, she couldn't wait to pull out a flower, and after a while, she raised her head with a smile.
"Oh, I didn't expect Mu to give me such an important thing, I really had eyes and beads before, I will definitely wear it next time."
Yan Zhi said with a smile sly, almost laughing crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, but she didn't dare to look directly at him, for fear of being nervous and saying something she shouldn't say.
"Well, if you think it's precious, wait until you get engaged to wear it."
It was still a flat tone, but it was so frightened that the chopsticks that Yan Zhixin had just picked up fell to the ground, and happiness came too suddenly, and the corners of Yan Zhixin's eyes couldn't help but overflow with tears.
"Really? Mu, are you saying we're going to get engaged soon? ”
Yan Zhixin couldn't help herself with excitement, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed his strong wrist, trembling nervously because she was happy.
In order to make sure that this was not a dream, she turned her head with joy in her eyes to Zhang Rou and Yan Zhengqing, who were also crying with joy.
"Mom and Dad, did you hear that? We're getting engaged soon! ”
Zhang Rou smiled and nodded with a wrinkled face, Yan Zhengqing was used to having a straight face, but at this time, he showed a rare smile with relief.
"Isn't engagement something we said we had before?"
Chu Mu asked this sentence expressionlessly, as if he couldn't get them so happy there.
"Cut, what's there to be happy about."
Yan Qingruo, who was kneeling in the living room, muttered quietly, she raised her head slightly, but she didn't expect that Chu Mu's deep gaze fell on her, looking at each other, his eyes looked aggressive, and he seemed to be able to see her through.
"There's really nothing to be happy about, after all, she doesn't have the Chu family's ancestral ring anymore."
Li Shaolin, who was sitting next to her, said with a blank squint, but his eyes flashed with a touch of playfulness, as if he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of something interesting happening later.
After Chu Mu's gaze was removed, a trace of cold light suddenly appeared in his already indifferent eyes, which stabbed Yan Qingruo, who was kneeling on the ground, with a tingle on his back.
"Shhhh
Li Shaolin didn't notice the sharp cold light at all, but remembered why she was kneeling here, and couldn't help but remind her carefully.
Yan Qingruo glanced at him, a flash of disdain flashed on his face, and then looked him up and down seriously, as if he didn't believe that this was what he could say.
"Yo, are we transgender? Are you still worried about things that don't exist? ”
"Am I not afraid that your family will be angry with you again? My heart hurts to see you kneeling here! Pity my little liver. ”
As he spoke, Li Shaolin glanced at her from beginning to end, indicating that she was already miserable, and if she continued to be miserable, he would not be able to deal with Nuo Nuo.
"I don't have such a family."
Yan Qingruo's eyes swept over the harmonious family at the dining table, the corners of her mouth hooked up a touch of mockery, and she had no desire for family affection at all.
At the dining table, Yan Zhixin looked at Zhang Rou and Yan Zhengqing opposite with a wanton face, and the pride on her face was difficult to ignore.
Zhang Rou happily had tears in her eyes, but Yan Zhengqing was experienced and thoughtful, he hid the smile on the corners of his lips and eyebrows, cleared his throat and looked at him like an elder.
"I don't know what the Chu family's requirements for the engagement banquet are?"
Yan Zhixin also looked at Chu Mu with hopeful eyes, looking like she wanted to get the answer she wanted to hear most from his mouth.
Chu Mu looked at Yan Zhengqing with some annoyance, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and looked at them gently, "The Chu family has already arranged everything, just waiting for the heart." ”
Yan Zhi's heart was full of joy when she called "Xin'er", and she had forgotten all the things she was worried about before, and she didn't even remember to provoke Yan Qingruo.
