Zhang Wan also saw Ruan Mengmeng's discomfort, and she opened her mouth and said, "Come on, let's take chopsticks." ”

"Mom, this is tofu made by Mengmeng, I secretly tasted it, but it's delicious, you can taste it."

Zhang Wan picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of tofu and put it into Mrs. Mu's bowl.

Mrs. Mu said in surprise: "Really? I'll taste it. ”

After she tasted it, she praised it with a smile, "It's very suitable for the elderly, sweet and sour, and not greasy." ”

Ruan Mengmeng's face recovered, and she smiled embarrassedly for the first time when she was praised by her elders in such turns.

Mu Heng was silent, but the most places where his chopsticks stretched out were the dishes made by Ruan Mengmeng.

Zhang Wan saw it in her eyes and nodded secretly, today is really a day full of surprises.

Ruan Mengmeng secretly raised her eyebrows, is this flattering in disguise?

But if Mu Heng heard this question, he would say: No, it's because he really likes it.

Wen Shanshan, who was sitting on the side, looked at the happy family and felt that she was superfluous, she didn't talk much all night, but no one noticed.

But Ruan Mengmeng noticed that Wen Shanshan's gaze looked over intentionally or unintentionally, and when Ruan Mengmeng raised her eyes again, she found that Wen Shanshan was not looking at her at all, but at the tall and arrogant man beside her.

But......

It seems that I don't know yet.

I don't know, or I'm pretending to be stupid.

Ruan Mengmeng calmly retracted her gaze, sneering in her heart.

After dinner, Ruan Mengmeng was called to Mrs. Mu's room, and Mu Heng discussed things with Mu Guozhi in the study.

Mrs. Mu's room is very spacious, and the furniture is made of high-grade sandalwood.

Agarwood burned in the room, calming the nerves.

Mrs. Mu opened the wardrobe and took out a wooden box from it.

Ruan Mengmeng took a look, it was a dresser, and it looked like it was a certain age.

Mrs. Mu took out a red brocade bag from the wooden box, embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks, and the workmanship was exquisite.

Old Madam Mu took Ruan Mengmeng's hand and looked at her lovingly, "Mengmeng, what do you think of our Ah Heng?" Grandma wants to hear what you really think. Grandma doesn't mind what you say. ”

Ruan Mengmeng was stunned, silent for a moment, and replied: "I don't like it, and I don't hate it." ”

Ruan Mengmeng didn't lie and admired the old lady, she felt that sincerity was the greatest respect.

In fact, the answer given by Ruan Mengmeng means that Mu Heng is different from other men in her heart.

After all, when the opposite sex is mentioned, Ruan Mengmeng's first reaction is disgust, avoidance, and then indifference.

And Mu Heng, Ruan Mengmeng faced it calmly, without disgust, but also without liking, the feelings were dull and quiet like water.

Old Madam Mu nodded lightly, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and said, "Grandma knows, you and Ah Heng are both good children. You returned to the Mu family because of your grandmother's physical condition. ”

Ruan Mengmeng listened calmly to Mrs. Mu as she continued.

"Actually, grandma didn't lie to you, my health has not been as good as before in recent years, and I worry every night about what to do with Ah Heng after I leave?"

Old Madam Mu's tone was a little choked as she spoke, and her eyes were red: "You don't know, when Ah Heng was seven years old, his parents died unexpectedly because of family strife...... He is so small alone, and he has to bear the burden of the entire Mu family......"

Ruan Mengmeng felt the sadness in Mrs. Mu's heart, she raised her hand and gently stroked Mrs. Mu's back, comforting her silently.

Old Madam Mu raised her hand and wiped the moist corners of her eyes, "Mengmeng, have you seen that Ah Heng likes you?" ”

Ruan Mengmeng's movements paused and remained silent.

Old Madam Mu continued: "It's the first time I've seen a light in Ah Heng's eyes, and I've seen him smile from the bottom of my heart. He used to live too hard alone, and I always wanted him to find someone to accompany him, at least to stay up together, not too lonely. ”

"Mengmeng, grandma believes that you are the light in Ah Heng's world, and she doesn't force you to be with him, she just asks you to give him a chance and let him work hard, is it okay?"

Old Madam Mu's eyes flashed, her palm was attached to the back of Ruan Mengmeng's hand, and she looked at her expectantly.

Ruan Mengmeng silently listened to Mrs. Mu's story, if there was no fluctuation in her heart, it was not normal.

Ruan Mengmeng is also a human being, and she also understands that kind of feeling.

She was wondering at the moment, could it be that when her grandparents died, they were also worried about their grandchildren?

Ruan Mengmeng was silent for a long time, and slowly said, "Grandma, I'm not a good woman. ”

She raised her eyes to meet Mrs. Mu's gaze, wanting to tell her past, her background, and her family.

"I ...... ......Ruan Mengmeng took a deep breath, but she found that she was trembling at the moment, and she couldn't say anything.

Mrs. Mu was very calm, she patted Ruan Mengmeng's hand and said, "How can there be a perfect person in this world?" The Mu family's family background is spurned by everyone, and Ah Heng has experienced a lot behind him...... Also, since Ah Heng has decided to like you, he won't mind your past. ”

"Good boy, don't you want to give Ah Heng a chance, give yourself a chance?"

Mrs. Mu said earnestly: "Grandma knows, how can it be easy to let go of the past? Why not let yourself go and live again? ”

Old Madam Mu's eyes were empty, as if she remembered the past.

Her words hit Ruan Mengmeng's heart word by word, Ruan Mengmeng lowered her eyes and did not speak quietly.

Mrs. Mu looked at her reaction and knew that she was already thinking about it.

Mrs. Mu took out a gold chain from the red brocade bag, the fine chain had a delicate pattern, and there was a ruby on it, which was covered by a gold ring, and had not been oxidized, and should have been well preserved.

Mrs. Mu looked at this gold chain with a smile, and she said to Ruan Mengmeng: "It is said that girls bring gold without silver, but unfortunately grandma does not have a daughter and grandchild, this chain was given to grandma by your grandfather when grandma was young, so I want to give this bracelet to you today, it has no meaning, it just represents grandma's love for you." ”

"Take it."

Old Madam Mu spread out Ruan Mengmeng's palm, put the gold bracelet in Ruan Mengmeng's palm, and then retracted her five fingers and wrapped the gold chain.

"The friendship of this gift is so valuable......"

"If you don't bring it in life, you won't bring it in death, it's better to give it to young people, and take it as a blessing."

Old Madam Mu said bluntly.

Outsiders say that Mrs. Mu is selfless and cruel, but she is actually open-minded and casual.

It's a lover of personality.

Ruan Mengmeng said silently in her heart.

On the other side, in the study.

Mu Guozhi played chess and drank tea with Mu Heng.

Many of Mu Heng's little habits are influenced by Mu Guozhi, such as now.

"What do you think of this tea?"
