At this moment, Mu En had completely believed what his mother and Song Nan said. This was indeed a girl who was not presentable. She didn't even know the etiquette of a lady. Unexpectedly, the girl Mu Ci would eventually marry was such a person. She was beautiful but had no soul.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Shuo smiled and said, "What's the big deal? This is a token of my appreciation. Is the soup I made delicious?"
Zhou Shuo tilted her head coquettishly and looked at Mu Ci.
Mu Ci smiled, took a sip, and nodded, "Delicious!"
Mu En was stunned by the affection between the two. Mu Chen, standing beside him, laughed heartily and pointed at Mu En, saying, "I'm so happy to see this expression on your face in my lifetime!"
Mu En immediately said bitterly, "Grandpa, please don't kick me when I'm down. I was wrong, isn't that okay? I'm so envious."
Zhou Shuo blinked, obviously unable to keep up with Mu En's pace.
Mu Chen took a sip of the soup and praised it, "Girl, this soup is really good."
Zhou Shuo's face immediately showed the satisfaction of a child being encouraged, "Then Grandpa, try the dish I cooked."
Mu En glanced at the dishes on the table and frowned: "That's all?"
Zhou Shuo nodded. "That's all. Four dishes and a soup, both meat and vegetables. Pretty hearty, right?"
Mu En couldn't help but smile with his hands covering his lips, but when he saw Mu Chen glaring at him, he quickly put away his smile.
Zhou Shuo was puzzled: "What's wrong? Is it not enough to eat? Or is it not tasty?"
Mu En waved his hands hurriedly, his smile becoming even more friendly and warm. "No, no, it's okay, it's okay. Let me try which dish my sister-in-law made."
"I did all this." Zhou Shuo said.
This made Mu En stunned for a moment, but then he thought, it is normal for a country girl to know how to cook a few dishes.
Mu Ci had already picked up the serving chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and placed it on the plate in front of Mu Chen, "Grandpa, come and try Zhou Shuo's cooking."
Mu Chen smiled and nodded, then started eating. Mu Ci also picked up some food and put it in his mouth.
The grandfather and grandson nodded in unison.
Mu Chen praised: "This beef is so tender and smooth."
Mu Ci couldn't help but ask, "Why do the mushrooms taste so good today?"
Zhou Shuo looked proud.
Mu En silently took a bite of the bamboo shoots in front of him and was surprised to find that his mouth was fragrant.
He lowered his eyes to take a look. It was just ordinary bamboo shoots. It was not something he had not eaten before. It was a very common homely side dish. To be honest, this was not even considered a presentable dish in the Mu family. How could it be so delicious?
Zhou Shuo used a serving chopstick to help Mu Ci and Mu Chen take a little of each dish, saying, "Brother has a bad spleen and stomach, so you have to be extra careful with what you eat in the future. Not only should you avoid cold foods, but you should also avoid dishes with a cooling nature. This will conflict with the medicinal properties, and it will also affect your body. 30% medicine and 70% nourishment, no matter how good the medicine is, it is not as beneficial to health as a careful diet. Grandpa, the same goes for you. After dinner, I'll check your pulse and take care of you as well."
Mu Chen nodded repeatedly: "Okay!"
Mu En's eyes darkened, "Sister-in-law also knows medicine, so amazing."
Zhou Shuo smiled without saying anything, just picking up food for Mu Ci and coaxing him to eat more.
The food in Mu En's mouth suddenly lost its taste.
Mu En left in boredom, and the harmless smile on his face dropped as he walked out the door.
Seeing him come out, assistant Lin Xu hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door for him, then returned to the driver's seat and started the car. He glanced at Mu En's face and asked cautiously, "Second Young Master, where are you going?"
Mu En said with a cold face: "That Zhou Cong, has he always wanted to ask me out through you?"
Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, the Zhou family has had some bad luck over the years. Their business has been going from bad to worse, and they've almost squandered the little fortune left by their ancestors. Zhou De listened to his son and daughter's advice and invested in a piece of land. But the news went awry, and the government expropriated the land, and they couldn't get a penny back. By the time our family took over, he was already stuck. They wanted to settle for the next best thing and get the project from us to solve their immediate problem, so they gave their newly found daughter to the eldest young master to bring him good luck."
Mu En frowned: "The daughter I just found is my sister-in-law?"
Lin Xu nodded. "Yes, the Zhou family's adopted daughter is called Zhou Le. She is the apple of the Zhou couple's eye. However, this biological child is not very well-liked. When they heard that she was a good match for our eldest young master, they sent her here without hesitation. The eldest young master gave the project to the Zhou family."
Mu En sneered, "So she's a bought wife."
Lin Xu was a little confused about Mu En's emotions.
Mu En said: "Let's continue, about Zhou Cong."
"Oh, after graduating from university, Zhou Cong went abroad to study for two years. After returning, he joined Zhou Corporation to assist his father. He thinks he has good knowledge and qualifications, and is quite arrogant. He has a good reputation in their small circle and is very ambitious. He is unwilling to be a third-rate wealthy family and always wants to squeeze into the upper reaches. He went through many people before he came to me for help. Second Young Master, are you interested in teasing him?" Lin Xu asked tentatively.
Mu En changed into a comfortable position, with a devilish smile on his face, "Then let's do it tonight. Invite some people, have a party, and lure him over. Oh, and don't forget to lure that adopted daughter over as well. I'm listening, there's a story here!"
Lin Xu responded: "Okay."
Zhou Shuo took Mu Chen's pulse and prescribed medicine. "Grandpa's health is pretty good, but he often feels numb on the left side of his body, has trouble falling asleep at night, has a lot of dreams, and is sometimes irritable and angry. These are minor problems."
Old Jiang's eyes widened. He looked at Zhou Shuo, then at Mu Chen, and exclaimed in surprise, "Old man, this is too accurate, isn't it?"
Mu Chen nodded, "Girl, I didn't expect you to be so amazing!"
Zhou Shuo's smugness was clearly visible on his face as he said to Mu Ci, "Brother, show Grandpa my skills! I have to convince him so that he'll take my medicine obediently!"
Mu Ci glanced at the door.
Old Jiang understood and hurried to lock the door.
As soon as he turned around, Mu Ci stood up from the wheelchair. Old Jiang was so scared that he rushed over to help him, "Young Master!"
Mu Ci pushed his hand away and walked towards Mu Chen slowly and stiffly.
Mu Chen was so excited that he stood there, tears about to come out.
Mu Ci stood in front of Mu Chen and said, "Grandpa, I can walk now, but I'm not very skilled yet."
Mu Chen hugged his grandson and patted him on the back, saying only, "Good! Good! Good!"
