Chapter 276: Reception
Mrs. Murong expected that Wen Lan would come to visit today, but she didn't expect her to come so quickly, and she came directly after entering the city.
Fortunately, she was already prepared, but there was nothing to be caught off guard.
"Auntie, I haven't seen you for a year, are you okay?" Wen Lan smiled generously and decently, stepped forward, made a junior salute in front of Mrs. Murong, and took her arm by the way, looking intimate.
"It's good, you have a heart, let's go in and talk! It's the road, so go first to rest and rest. Mrs. Murong inadvertently swept the hand holding her, her eyes were frozen for a moment, but she didn't say anything, and she still had a concerned smile on her face.
After entering the house, the two sat next to each other on the sofa, and at first glance, it seemed that the two really had a close relationship.
Wen Lan said a few words of greeting and concern, and then gestured to the person behind him with his eyes, "Auntie, this is what I brought from the capital, I don't know if you like it or not, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
Wen Lan took the gift box held by the entourage, put it in front of Mrs. Murong, and looked at the other party with a smile.
"You kid, where do you use to be so polite, it's good for people to come, where do I want a gift?" Mrs. Murong looked disgusted.
"I just want to bring it to you, this is also a little bit of my heart, you can reluctantly accept it!" Wen Lan's tone was rarely coquettish.
I have to say that even if Mrs. Murong doesn't like Wen Lan in her heart, her behavior will not make people uncomfortable.
"Since you have said so, wouldn't it be a disappointment to your heart if I didn't accept it?" Mrs. Murong pretended to be helpless, and then turned her head to Sister-in-law Luo, who was standing on the side, and ordered, "Sister-in-law Luo, send this gift box to my room." ”
"Yes, ma'am." Sister-in-law Luo replied respectfully.
The two talked for a while, and it was time for dinner.
Mrs. Murong would not be harsh on people in this kind of place, so the dishes for dinner were very sumptuous.
Even if Wen Lan is the eldest lady of the Wen family, and someone escorts her along the way, the conditions are there, and sometimes in order to show that she is tolerant and close to the people, she has to deliberately pretend not to care about these little things.
Therefore, since her departure, she has really never eaten such a hearty meal.
Trying to restrain the restlessness in his stomach, Wen Lan asked as if inadvertently, "What about Brother Murong?" Why don't you see him come back to eat with you? ”
To say that Wen Lan is also able to bear it, he talked with Mrs. Murong for a long time, and he didn't get much news from Murong Yue or much other news, but he was able to calm down, and he didn't speak until now. Moreover, her question was just homely and did not seem abrupt.
"He, I don't know what he's busy all day, and I can count the number of times I've come back, and I can't see him once in a few days." Lady Murong complained.
Murong Yue is indeed busy, but it has not reached the point where she said, Mrs. Murong said this, just for the sake of prevarication later.
"When I came, I saw that the base was in order, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, presumably this must be the credit of Brother Murong, he was also so busy for the base, aunt don't blame him." Wen Lan spoke naturally, as if he didn't feel that his wording was out of line.
Mrs. Murong listened, but she was a little more unhappy in her heart.
"It's hard for you to speak for him, I know all these truths." Mrs. Murong's expression was faint, "Let's not talk about him, the dishes are all ready, Lan Lan eat quickly, look at you, you are so thin, you must have suffered a lot on the road." ”
"It's all pampered girls, why does your dad feel free to ask you to come over alone?" Mrs. Murong served vegetables to Wen Lan, looking like the elders cared about the juniors.
