Chapter 450: The Sea
Seeing her, Mu Wan'an had to sigh, the genes of the Cheng family are really good, such an expression that will expose facial defects if she is not careful, she is also very pampered and naΓ―ve when she makes it, and there is no feeling of excessive arrogance.
"And thanks to you, my mother finally scolded my second aunt once today. After you left, my mom said......"
After chattering a lot, Cheng Wuxian finally said a little unsatisfied:
"I look at the second aunt's appearance, it seems that she hasn't figured out that the person she is talking about is her, she only cares about how my mother speaks for Song Bingjue and not for Su Mu."
"You're so pretty."
Staring at Cheng Wuxian's face, Mu Wan'an himself didn't understand why he would say such a thing, and as soon as the words fell, both of them turned red.
Mu Wan'an coughed twice to save this embarrassing atmosphere:
"Actually, your mother is pretty good-looking, too."
ββ¦β¦β
"I'm not wrong, your mother is really good-looking!"
Seeing that Cheng Wuxian was silent, Mu Wan'an hurriedly explained, "When I first met her, I thought she was in her twenties, but I didn't expect her children to be so old. β
"Poof-hahahahahaha......"
Holding on to her drawing board, Cheng Wuxian's tears were about to laugh, Mu Wan'an was even more panicked, and she hurriedly handed over the tissue:
"What are you laughing at, I'm not lying......"
"Flawless sister, you're so funny."
Finally stopped smiling, Cheng Wuxian maintained a posture of holding his hands on his cheeks on the drawing board, and stared at her seriously:
"Everyone in our family is good-looking, even my second uncle, who I don't like the most, can actually see that he looked good when he was young. You are also good-looking and temperamental, much better looking than Cheng Wuyi's wine bag and rice bag. β
"If she knew you said that, she would come to you desperately, right?"
What a child is now...... Mu Wan'an felt funny, she caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye, only to find that the third aunt Wang Keyi had been standing there for a long time.
"It's okay, why can't you always fix this bad problem? You're a girl, you can't say that about the same sex. β
Smiling softly at Mu Wan'an, Wang Keyi stepped forward and hugged her daughter's shoulder, "Flawless, sit in the house." β
Previously, under the strong invitation of Su Minjun, Mu Wanye went to the two-bedroom villa, which was decorated with golden brilliance, and it was a rich and noble house at first glance; Originally, she thought that the third room was similar here, but it wasn't until she sat on the sofa that Mu Wannight realized that this third aunt was a person with hills and valleys in her chest.
The house is not overly luxurious, on the contrary, there is a breath of life everywhere, there are painting stands in the living room, flowers are held in ordinary clear glass bottles on the wooden, not very flat coffee table, and there are a few sun-dried clothes on the sofa that have not had time to be folded.
"Tea, please."
Bringing a cup of hawthorn fruit tea to Mu Goodnight, Wang Keyi gathered his knitted jacket and sat down opposite Mu Goodnight:
"I see that you don't eat much when you eat these days, so you must be a little uncomfortable. Drink some hawthorn tea to appetize, you can't break the body. β
It's very gentle.
Holding this cup of tea, Mu Wannight didn't know what to say for a while, but since Wang Keyi invited herself in, she must have something to say to her.
"Actually, when you first arrived at Cheng's house, I had something I wanted to say to you. But there are many eyes at home, and you are the focus, I have always been used to being transparent, and I am afraid of causing some unnecessary trouble, so I have been dragging it out. β
Wen Sheng explained, Wang Keyi looked at her very kindly:
"And you're ...... If you come back at such an embarrassing and critical time, there will be more people who are interested in you. β
"Are you talking about the second aunt?"
Recalling that Su Minjun "kindly" invited him to Miss Zhang's birthday banquet today, Mu Wan'an said in a low voice:
"I know that my second aunt has always been unprofitable, and today she gave me a set of Tiffany's jewelry, and she will definitely find it elsewhere."
"Maybe it's her, maybe it's more than her. Her methods are vicious, but they are only superficial, and you will be suspicious when you see her. I'm afraid you've fallen into a trap and don't know it. β
Sighing, Wang Keyi said with some nostalgia:
"Originally, I shouldn't have said these things, if your mother is still here, she will naturally protect you well. Speaking of which, your mother is my senior sister, and I have an obligation to take care of you for her. It's just that I'm an aunt who doesn't have the ability, so I can only mention you like this. β
"You and my mother are alumni?"
When he was in the Cheng family, Mu Wan'an never heard others mention this relationship, or Wang Keyi never said it.
"Marianne Girls' School, we study in the same middle school, and your mother Cheng Wen is a very good person, she is as bright as a pearl."
Talking about the past, Wang Keyi had a little nostalgia in her eyes, "I'm one level lower than her, but we will take the same music class." She played the piano so well that I remember the first time I met her, I heard her play Debussy's The Sea. β
β¦β¦
The Marian Girls' School has always been known for its rigor and rigidity, and this school adheres to the old dogma, but also accepts only children of nobles or well-established families.
At that time, the atmosphere was to be proud that the daughter of the family could be admitted to Marianne Girls' School, and once the offer was received, it was as if the lintel of the whole family had been raised.
As a wealthy businessman rooted in the local area, although the business is very large, but in the end there is still a lack of some "heritage" of the noble family, in order to keep up with the trend, it took a lot of effort to stuff the young daughter of the appropriate age into this school.
Some people break their heads for a spot, while others are born to step on the finish line.
The news that Cheng Wen, the youngest daughter of the Cheng family, was invited to attend the Marianne Girls' School is no secret in the Chinese circle.
Just as the wealthy local businessmen looked up to the Cheng family, "they" looked up to Cheng Wen.
At that time, Wang Keyi was also one of the many admirers.
At the opening ceremony of Marianne Girls' School, as a student representative, Cheng Wen played "Moonlight" on the stage with her fingers pressed the Besiestan "Louis XV" worth 20 million.
It was a dream.
The lightness and gentleness of "Moonlight" made her indulge in this dream, and she thought that this was the person she looked up to, gentle and beautiful, until she heard the song "The Sea" in the music classroom.
The music seems to be materialized, the waves lap coldly over the head, and the listener can only bear the catastrophe without moving.
β¦β¦
"I always thought she was a gentle person, and it wasn't until she ran away from home for that man that I realized that she wasn't the one we knew at all."
The memory came to an abrupt end, and Wang Keyi sighed, "The surface is weak, but the heart is as solid as a rock." In a sense, you also have a lot of resemblance to her. When you first arrived at Cheng's house, you were also so stubborn and arrogant. But also, her children have their own pride. β
Receiving such a high evaluation because of her deceased mother, Mu Wan'an probably knew how good Cheng Wen was back then, she was silent for a moment and shook her head:
"No, I'm nowhere near as good as her."
"What's the point of spending your whole life in comparison?"
Shaking her head, Wang Keyi signaled that her idea was wrong, "She is her, you are you, don't be like your second aunt, you have to be strong in everything, save face, and be sad in the end." β
"There's one more thing I want to ask you as well. The old man introduced you to a lot of young talents, do you have a fancy for it? β
Wang Keyi stared at her with concern, looking at this formation, if she didn't say something, it would definitely not be over.
Thinking of He Yunhua, who chased him to the UK, and Song Bingjue, who looked tired, Mu Wan'an finally hesitated and said:
"Not yet."
"I hope you really don't."
Smiling slightly, Wang Keyi took a small sip of his tea, and said meaningfully:
"The older I get, the more I understand what life really needs. When I first got married, in order to please the old man, I replaced the tea at home with the Lushan Yunwu, which his old man liked. The tea was very bitter, and I forced myself to finish it every time, as if I could get the old man's liking in this way. Later, when I went back to my parents' house and drank a sip of fruit tea at home, I chose to compromise with my true self when the long-lost relaxation and genuine love came to my heart. Life is only a few decades, if you can't live as you want...... That's a waste. β
As she spoke, she still looked at her with those loving and kind eyes, as if she had seen through her heart:
"I know you're going to make the right choice."
When she came out of the three-room home, Mu Wanyi's mood was both light and heavy, chatting with Wang Keyi was undoubtedly a pleasant thing, she did not reluctantly accept her point of view, and took care of your emotions in a timely manner; But the topic she talked about today really made her unable to show her face.
She remembered Song Bingjue's unspoken words, which were nothing more than asking her not to choose Ji Yunhua...... From the beginning, Ji Yunhua was not on her list, she didn't believe that he would do this out of love for her, not to mention that a person who knew too many secrets was originally a representative of careerists.
There are some things that he refuses to say, and she naturally refuses to say them.
She returned to the villa where she lived, there was already an uninvited guest sitting in the living room, Su Minjun saw her walking back from outside, and the original resentment instantly turned into joy:
"Flawless, you're back, I'm afraid you didn't have time to prepare the dress for the Zhang family's dinner, so I brought you a few sets, can you see which one you prefer?"
As she spoke, the maid behind her lined up with her dresses and showed them to her.
"Thank you for your kindness, I'm thinking about what to wear that day."
With that, Mu Wan'an walked over to the dresses and began to look at them one by one.
