C182 Come and Call Me Grandpa
Now that I think about it, I miss my grandson even more. Why hasn't this kid brought him back yet?
As this thought flashed through his mind, there was a commotion at the living room's door. Mu Tingye's voice immediately rang out, "Grandfather, Nian and I have come to see you."
Grandpa Mu had just raised his smile when he coughed lightly. He pretended to be serious and raised his chin slightly. He looked coldly at the people who were walking towards them.
When Ji Nian saw Mu Tingye's grandfather clearly, her heart suddenly shook and she was stunned. He was Mu Tingye's grandfather? The strange old man she met in the hospital who was abandoned by his family?
Grandpa Mu did not seem to have any clues on the surface. He looked like a big parent waiting for a junior to greet him.
Mu Tingye pulled the stunned Ji Nian over and let her face the old man. "Nian Nian, come and call grandfather."
Ji Nian saw Grandpa Mu's attitude towards her as if he did not know her. She naturally did not know what Grandpa Mu was thinking. Perhaps he really did not recognize her.
To her, they had only met once. If she rashly said that she knew him, people would definitely think that she was deliberately trying to build a relationship with him.
Before she could say anything, the old man suddenly said, "There is no need to call me grandpa. It has not reached this extent yet."
Ji Nian's lips moved as she wanted to shout, but the old man's sudden words made her throat tighten.
The people who followed closely behind naturally heard the old man say those words without giving Ji Nian any face.
No one made a sound. Actually, they were still watching and did not know what kind of attitude the old man had towards Ji Nian. Now that they heard the old man's words, they could not help but guess that the old man did not accept Ji Nian.
Fortunately, Ji Nian did not have the mentality of coming to see her father-in-law. She could understand the old man's cold attitude towards her and still respectfully greeted, "Old Master Mu."
Grandpa Mu sat up straight and slightly raised his eyebrows. He cast a glance at Ji Nian and lightly replied, Yes." Yes. " In his heart, he thought that this girl could still be considered calm. At least when he made things difficult for her, she could still react according to the situation.
Mu Tingye looked at his grandfather's serious look and felt that it was funny in his heart. He was brought up by his grandfather. How could he not understand the old man's thoughts? He would not point it out either.
Ji Nian asked Grandpa Mu and greeted Mu Haiting, "Uncle."
Mu Haiting did things wholeheartedly. Now that the game of chess was not finished yet, his mind was all on the chessboard. It was rare that he could eat so many pieces of the old man this time. It seemed that he was about to win.
Therefore, his attitude towards Ji Nian was neither cold nor warm. He responded indifferently.
Grandpa Mu saw the thermos in Ji Nian's hand with one glance, and his heart was filled with joy. On the surface, he still had a solemn and dignified face, and was waiting for his eldest daughter-in-law to say that she could start eating.
Sure enough, Ye Meihui was deeply in the heart of the old man. She said, "Dad, everyone is here. We will help you to the meal."
Grandpa Mu's body moved slightly and just as he was about to respond, Mu Haiting, who was beside him, said very tactfully, "Dad, this game of chess is finished in a few steps. Let's finish this game of chess before we go to eat."
Grandpa Mu's mind had never been about playing chess. Now that he was here, he was even less in the mood. It just so happened that his eldest son did not know what was good for him.
Ye Meihui said again, "There are still a few more steps left before we finish eating and come back. No one will touch your chessboard."
Grandpa Mu looked at his eldest daughter-in-law's eyes more and more satisfied. He thought that he could leave now.
Unexpectedly, Mu Haiting continued, "Dad, you said that we can't give up halfway when doing things. There are still a few steps left before we finish. We should finish the rest, shouldn't we?" The most important thing was that he was going to win this round!
Grandpa Mu's face was a little dark. He glared at his son. According to him, he would not be able to make it if he did not finish these few steps.
He could not possibly break his promise in front of this junior and become a person who gave up halfway, right? Furthermore, his grandson had brought Ji Nian back today. He could not lose face in front of this junior.
Actually, Ji Nian did not think too much about it. She felt that there was no place for her to speak here.
Mu Haiting was very puzzled by the old man's glare. Could it be that he said something wrong? These were all reasons that the old man had taught him since he was young.
"Alright, I'll follow you to the last step." Grandpa Mu snorted coldly. Did this damn brat really want him to lose in front of others? Hmph, he couldn't afford to fight with his father!
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Mu didn't even take a second look at the chessboard. He took a step forward, which was the last step he had said. This step had really blocked Mu Haiting's move!1
Mu Haiting was tongue-tied. He could not believe that such an earth-shattering scene would happen on the chessboard at this moment. He had clearly won just now. The chessboard just now was clearly not like this. Why had he been defeated by his father in the blink of an eye?
He could not forgive his stubborn mind. He really could not understand.
"Now we can eat in peace, right? "Old Master Mu snorted.
Mu Tingye then continued, "Grandpa, Nian did as you instructed and boiled the soup for you. He has brought it over. Since the soup is still hot in the insulation box, quickly drink a bowl."
As soon as Mu Tingye finished speaking, Uncle Jee, who was standing behind the old man, took the thermos box from Ji Nian's hands. He smiled and said," With the thermos box, it will not be a problem. Miss Su, you are very considerate. "
Their conversation stunned everyone. It was only then that they realized that Ji Nian had come to Mu family with the insulation box to listen to the old man's instructions. It was to prepare the soup for the old man.
They did not know that the old man had seen Ji Nian before. They only asked if Mu Tingye and the old man had already communicated beforehand. The old man had already accepted Ji Nian and could not help but ask her to come to the house for a meal and to make soup for the old man.
One had to know that the old man's diet was controlled by a senior nutritionist. Not everyone could casually make soup for the old man.
But they all knew one thing. The old man's original wife, Mu Tingye's deceased grandmother, liked to make soup for the old man when she was young.
Ji Nian naturally did not think that the bowl of soup in the hospital would move Old Master Mu.
At this time, Mu Yun jumped out and held onto the old man's arm. "Grandfather, I miss elder sister and did not even enter the door. Why are you so shameless to order me to cook soup for you?"
The old man said with a straight face, "Didn't she want to enter the Mu family? Didn't she want to be with my grandson? I can't order her around with these things? "
Ji Nian felt that there was a crow flying in front of her. What kind of logic was the old man using? If she wanted to be with his grandson, she had to listen to his orders? It was indeed a feudal family with old thoughts.
When the people who had thought that the old man had accepted Ji Nian's thoughts heard these words, they felt that the old man did not accept Ji Nian. Did he accept it or not? What a torture!
It was not easy for the family to finally sit at the dining table, but Mu Haiting had not yet recovered from the chess board. He really could not understand how he had lost.
Old Master Mu sat at the head of the family and glanced at his eldest son's depressed expression.
He snorted coldly in his heart. His son had learned all the decent things. He had taught him how to be fair in war, but he did not expect that he would not listen to him at all.
