Chapter 683 Remember to go home early after get off work
At the grand gate of Goldsmith Bay Villa, a taxi was parked steadily on the side of the road.
The car door opened and people got out one after another, their eyes unconsciously cast towards the majestic and solemn courtyard.
The courtyard was filled with lush flowers, plants and trees, and the chirping of birds and insects was quiet and elegant, presenting a prosperous and bustling scene.
Mu Xiaoji took out the suitcase from the trunk, and with a polite smile on his face, he said to Dean Guo: "Uncle Guo, let's go in!"
As for Jiang Shuo, thanks to his little daddy's return, he regained his childish innocence. He was like an energetic little monkey, with endless energy.
He couldn't wait to take Mu Huiying's hand and trot straight to the living room.
As soon as he stepped into the living room, Jiang Shuo shouted at the top of his voice: "Grandma, Grandma, look who's here!"
Shen Rou, who was drinking tea in the living room, put down the teacup in her hand when she heard the voice, stood up in surprise and said:
"Hey, sister, Dean Guo, what brings you here? Come quickly, come and sit down. You are such a rare guest!"
At this time, Xiao Yue came out of the kitchen with a fruit plate. With a proper smile on his face, he said politely, "Madam, Dean Guo, you have worked hard on the journey. Have some fruit to quench your thirst."
Jiang Shuo was like a clever little ghost. He walked quickly to Xiao Yue, grabbed her arm, and jumped smartly. Xiao Yue held him steadily in her arms.
Xiao Yue doted on him and said, "Stinky baby, why do you suddenly want to be hugged by your mother today?"
Jiang Shuo blinked his big eyes and said coquettishly, "Dad and I haven't had breakfast yet. Can you heat up a cup of milk tea for us?"
Shen Rou pretended to be angry, glared at Mu Xiaoji and said, "You are already a grown-up, when will you stop worrying about me?"
Mu Xiaoji smiled and walked over to the old lady and sat down and said, "Mom, can't you see that Jiang Shuo is teasing me?"
At this time, Aunt Zhao came over with a few cups of tea and said with a gentle smile, "Madam, please have some tea. Dean Guo, please have some tea."
Mu Huiying quickly responded: "Thank you, Aunt Zhao."
"Madam, you are so polite. Please take a rest. I will go to the kitchen to busy myself!" Aunt Zhao said kindly, then turned and left the living room.
The old lady grabbed Mu Xiaoji's hand and held it in her palm, as if she had found a treasure.
That loving gaze turned towards Mu Huiying and Dean Guo, and asked, "You two have come all this way. I'm sure you knew your eldest grandson was coming back, so you rushed here overnight, right?"
Mu Huiying smiled and said, "Hehe... Old lady, Choubao received a call from Lao Rong saying that Mr. Song was feeling unwell, so we thought we'd come over to see him. Unexpectedly, Little Guitar has also returned."
Shen Rou said amiably, "This kid just came back yesterday. He always does things quietly and didn't even call me!"
Dean Guo looked around and asked with concern, "Where's Mr. Song? How is his health now? I'll go see him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Shishan came back slowly from the backyard, pushing Song Shijie, who was sitting in a wheelchair. Jiang Chengyu followed closely behind with a stack of documents in his hand.
Seeing this, Shen Rou said happily, "Ajie is in the backyard! He didn't even bother to go to the hospital for a proper checkup when he was sick. He had to wait until he collapsed, making everyone anxious."
Song Shijie's deep voice rang out: "Who are you scolding me to again?"
Dean Guo quickly stood up and went to greet him, saying, "Boss Song, your voice is so resonant, it seems you've recovered quite well!"
"Old Guo, why are you here? It's such a sin!" Song Shijie said with a hint of apology.
Mu Huiying scolded, "This should have come a long time ago, but it took until now."
"Xiao Ji's mother, you are too polite. Isn't Lao Guo busy over there? Everyone, please sit down and talk." Song Shijie said with a soothing gesture.
Jiang Chengyu took two steps forward, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he said politely, "Uncle Guo, Mother Mu, Uncle Song, you guys chat first. I have some urgent matters at the company, so I'll be leaving first."
Dean Guo and Mu Huiying stood up again upon seeing this. They looked at Jiang Chengyu, who was lowering his head, and said in disbelief, "Yu'er, you...are awake?"
Jiang Chengyu just nodded slightly and raised his foot to leave. Seeing this, Mu Xiaoji suddenly stepped forward, blocking in front of Jiang Chengyu, and said with a playful smile:
"Alas, Jiang Chengyu, Uncle Guo and Mother Mu came all the way to see you, and you're leaving like this. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Jiang Chengyu looked at Mu Xiaoji coldly and questioned, "Looking at me? How could that be? Master Chenxi, you must be kidding!"
Song Shijie also advised: "Cheng Yu, it's noon now, and there's no rush for company matters. Just stay and have a reunion dinner together!"
Jiang Chengyu's face flashed with a complex emotion and he said, "No, Uncle Song, the company has employee meals, you guys chat.
I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving now." After saying that, he pushed Mu Xiaoji aside and started to leave.
Seeing this, Jiang Shuo rushed forward, hugged Jiang Chengyu's thigh, looked up at him, his eyes full of expectation, and said:
"Little Daddy, you're so busy every day that you're nowhere to be seen. Do you know how long it's been since you had dinner with Choubao? Please stay! I beg you! Please!"
Shen Rou saw that Chou Bao's little mouth was pouting to the sky, and walked over distressedly to pull Jiang Shuo up, and said softly to Jiang Chengyu: "Cheng Yu, please stay. Look how pitiful Chou Bao looks like this!"
Aunt Zhao walked into the living room with a light and steady step and a smile on her face. She had a very friendly professional smile on her face.
He said gently, "Madam, everyone, the food is ready. Please go to the restaurant and have your meal!"
When Jiang Shuo heard this, he jumped up like a nimble little monkey and quickly snatched the document from Jiang Chengyu's hand.
He casually placed it on the table beside him, then grabbed Jiang Chengyu's hand tightly and pulled him towards the restaurant.
While saying: "Little Daddy, please walk faster, I want you to sit next to me."
At this time, Shen Rou and Xiao Yue carefully supported the old lady and slowly walked towards the main seat of the restaurant.
After the old lady sat down steadily, Shen Rou began to arrange the seats in an orderly manner. She asked Guo Mu and his wife to sit on the right side of the old lady, and asked Song Shijie and herself to sit on the left side.
Mu Xiaoji was seated next to Mu Huiying, Jiang Shuo sat next to Shen Rou, and Rong Shishan and Jiang Chengyu sat at the end, facing the old lady.
The old lady looked at the whole family, her face filled with a happy smile, and said kindly, "Everyone, don't be so formal, just act like you're at home. Pick up your chopsticks! These are all home-cooked dishes."
Mu Xiaoji had a cheeky smile on his face, his eyes full of concern. He reached out and picked up every dish beside him.
He put them into Jiang Chengyu's bowl one by one, urging him as he did so: "Little monster, eat quickly! What are you standing there for?"
Jiang Chengyu's stern eyes, like a sharp blade, shot straight at Mu Xiaoji.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoji smiled nonchalantly and apologized: "I'm sorry, Jiang Chengyu, Jiang Chengyu."
Jiang Chengyu did not respond, but lowered his head silently, looking at the mountain of food in the bowl.
My thoughts were like a wild horse, drifting away uncontrollably, and the unforgettable moments of the past kept emerging in my mind.
I remember that on the sofa in Jinyang Villa, Mu Xiaoji couldn't help kissing me, and that scene happened to be seen by Mu Huiying.
Mu Huiying's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with shock and anger. She didn't allow herself any chance to explain.
He rushed forward and slapped himself hard in the face with a "slap".
Although he begged her desperately, hoping that she would forgive him, Mu Huiying said mercilessly: "I am not your mother, and I don't have a son like you."
From that day on, Mother Mu and Uncle Guo put a lot of pressure on me, and the depressing atmosphere enveloped me like a haze.
That day, Professor Cao Guohua from the Military Region Hospital called and said that there was an emergency operation that needed to be performed by him.
I was away from home for a week, with no one paying any attention to me. When I woke up from my deep sleep, it was already New Year's Eve, with the sky full of dazzling fireworks.
Mu Xiaoji was so happy that he was waiting for her to come home and eat dumplings together. But unexpectedly, when Mu's mother saw him just coming in, she looked at him coldly and said in a cold tone: "Since you left, why did you come back?"
"You little brat, you're here to eat, not to watch. Eat quickly!" Rong Shishan gently nudged Jiang Chengyu and reminded him softly.
Jiang Chengyu finally woke up from his dream and was brought back to reality by Rong Shishan's gentle touch.
He nodded shyly, raised his left hand, picked up the chopsticks on his right, clumsily picked up a piece of celery, and slowly put it into his mouth.
Mu Xiaoji had been paying attention to Jiang Chengyu's behavior. Seeing that he seemed to have no appetite, he couldn't help but ask with concern:
"How are you? You don't seem to have much of an appetite. Remember to come home early after get off work tonight. I'll make you some winter melon and pork ribs soup, which you used to love the most."
When Jiang Chengyu heard the word "home", a scornful smile appeared on his lips and he said, "Home? It seems like it hasn't been there for a long time!"
When Mu Xiaoji heard this, his face froze instantly, as if he had been cast under a spell.
His mind involuntarily emerged the scene when he saw Jiang Chengyu's message in the bedroom of the sea view villa.
On the bedside table, the beautiful handwriting seemed to be still clear before my eyes: "My beloved Xiaoji, seeing this letter is like seeing you in person.
In the past years, you gave me stars and moonlight, warmth and hope. Those memories are the most brilliant treasures in my life. With you by my side, I have no regrets in this life.
But fate is unpredictable. Now we are like two lines that intersect and then drift apart. You have your direction and I have my journey.
Now I am no longer qualified to possess your generous gift. This is all you have. I hope it can return to you and continue to witness your happiness.
Handwritten by Jiang Chengyu. Every word was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart.
Mu Xiaoji played dumb and said with a chuckle, "The food isn't to your taste, let's have some soup. Aunt Zhao's mushroom soup is very special, try it."
As he spoke, he picked up his bowl, scooped a bowl and placed it in front of Jiang Chengyu.
Jiang Shuo observed his expression and noticed that his little daddy was acting strangely today. He asked with concern, "Little daddy, are you feeling unwell? Chou Bao will help you check."
Jiang Shuo was about to leave his seat, but Jiang Chengyu hurriedly stopped him, saying, "No, I'm fine."
He picked up the spoon with his left hand and drank the mushroom soup mouthful after mouthful. Then he put down the spoon, picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"I'm full. Everyone, take your time eating. I have important things to deal with at the company. I'll be leaving first."
Everyone looked at Jiang Chengyu, who put his right hand in his pocket and left in a hurry!
"Little monster..." As soon as the words came out, Mu Xiaoji looked lonely. He looked at Jiang Chengyu's bowl full of food, reached out to pick it up, and began to eat unconsciously.
Shen Rou called out softly with heartache: "Chenxi..." The rest of the words were stuck in her throat.
