"Mom, you eat too."
Lin Yulan smiled and nodded. After taking a bite, Mu Shiming next to her asked, "How does it taste?"
"fine."
Just three words, nothing extra.
Mu Shiming felt a little disappointed, but seeing that Lin Yulan was willing to take a second bite of the food, he thought the food must taste as good as Lin Yulan said.
He actually likes discussing food with Lin Yulan. I guess no one doesn't like food.
In addition to taking care of her daughter, Lin Yulan also takes care of Shan Dandan.
Thinking that she had just had surgery during the summer vacation, Lin Yulan left the table when she had eaten one-third of the meal and brought over a bowl of lotus root and pork spinal cord soup.
The moment the pottery lid is lifted, the fragrant aroma immediately fills the air.
Shan Dandan's eyes immediately sparkled as she looked at Lin Yulan, "Auntie Lan, did you make this especially for me?"
Lin Yulan smiled and said, "Your body is still recovering, so I wanted to give you some nourishment. I added some warming and nourishing herbs to it, so only you can eat it."
Lin Yulan also explained this to Mu Shiming and others.
The things were bought at noon. Originally, she planned to make them tomorrow and have Su Jianwei deliver them to Shan Dandan. But since Shan Dandan came in the evening, Lin Yulan just made them right away.
She did this to thank Shan Dandan and her father for their efforts in their daughter's schooling.
"Thank you, Aunt Lan!"
Wu Zongze, who was standing by, saw this scene and said with a smile, "Not everyone can make this medicinal food. It seems that there must be a tradition in Ms. Lin's family."
The smile on Lin Yulan's face slowly faded. She returned to her seat, looked at Wu Zongze and said, "Just do it casually."
"We are just an ordinary family, but Mr. Wu and Mr. Mu are obviously from the same family." Su Jianwei said to Wu Zongze.
All three of them like to ask about other people's background right away, but some are direct and some are calm.
Mu Shiming glanced at Wu Zongze, who smiled sheepishly and said, "Sorry, it's just professional habit."
Mu Shijia said: "My husband is a police superintendent and is used to interrogating people."
She glared at her husband and continued, "Even when I go out sometimes he questions me. I've told him several times but he still doesn't change. Jianwei, please don't mind it."
Wu Zongze laughed and said, "It's just that my professional habits are bad, I will change."
Su Jianwei really couldn't care less about what they said.
Sometimes it is actually a scary thing when someone who is used to being superior to you suddenly becomes humble to you, at least that is the case in Su Jianwei's eyes.
The dinner was quite enjoyable for both the host and the guests.
To be honest, it is not easy for someone like Mu Shiming to have a good impression of others.
At least under his offensive, Lin Yulan was able to treat him as a simple acquaintance, and Su Jianwei was not as wary of him as before. Even Shan Dandan, who had only met him for the second time today, had a good impression of him.
While Mu Shijia and Lin Yulan were talking, Su Jianwei said to Mu Shiming, "Uncle Mu, can I have a few words with you alone?"
"good."
The two came to the banyan tree at the door of the store. The sound of cicadas came from far and near, and the warm light was reflected on the ground, lengthening the shadows of the two.
"Uncle Mu, I think time is very valuable for a busy man like you, so I'll just be frank."
Mu Shiming smiled and nodded.
"I also heard what you said to my mother yesterday, but I think that was only part of it."
"If it was just a thank you, you wouldn't have to be so nice to my mom."
Su Jianwei looked at Mu Shiming and said seriously, "My mother and I are just ordinary people. You are a powerful figure. I really don't know what is so good about my mother that you are so concerned about her."
Yes, Su Jianwei felt that if it was just out of favor, Mu Shiming would not have to bother like he did today, and he might not even show up here.
He must have other plans.
Mu Shiming looked out the window at Lin Yulan, who was chatting happily with his sister in the store, and said with a smile, "Isn't your mother a person worth plotting against?"
Su Jianwei frowned.
"I want to pursue your mother."
Su Jianwei: “……???”
"It was just decided this afternoon."
The decision was made when I saw the bookish man handing the movie tickets to Lin Yulan.
He liked Lin Yulan a little and wanted to give it a try with her, and he felt that his son also needed a kind and simple stepmother.
Su Jianwei's expression had turned cold. "You shouldn't be short of women."
“Just because there is a shortage of women doesn’t mean every woman is wanted.”
He looked at Su Jianwei and sighed, "I never thought that one day, when I wanted to pursue a lady, I would have to get past her daughter first."
"You don't think that just because you are in a high position and have great power, you can do whatever you want to us, right?" Su Jianwei still didn't believe it.
Can a person fall in love with someone so easily?
"I never abuse my power," Mu Shiming said seriously. "I also hope you understand that some things are sacred and inviolable."
"I want to pursue your mother because she meets all the requirements of the other half I need now, and I am confident that I can be her best partner."
Su Jianwei sneered, "Why don't you just say it directly? My mother is pretty, can cook, and is easy to please. She's very suitable to be a free home nanny."
"The most important thing is that she has no power, no influence, and no background. Even if she is bullied in your house, she has no place to cry to, and no one to support her."
Mu Shiming shook his head. "Your idea is a bit extreme."
"Not to mention that I always have a nanny at home, and secondly, I don't like to argue with people, nor will I bully a woman, let alone let my woman suffer injustice."
Su Jianwei looked at Mu Shiming and said, "You haven't seen my mother ten times yet."
"After two attempts, I already know what kind of person your mother is. I just need to make sure whether I have any romantic feelings for her."
Mu Shiming knew that if he really wanted to pursue Lin Yulan, he had to get past Su Jianwei.
He looked at Su Jianwei seriously and said, "I was married before and have a son with my ex-wife."
"After my son became deaf in a car accident when he was seven, she couldn't accept the blow and divorced me and went to Country M."
"Later, I tried to get to know a few comrades, but our personalities just didn't mesh, so I gave up."
"Your mother is the only person I've met in all these years that I want to continue to have contact with."
Mu Shiming said sincerely, "I have always known what I want. Since I have a goal, I always strive for it seriously."
"I didn't intend for you to accept me from the beginning. I just wanted you to know that I was serious about pursuing your mother."
