Ren's father and mother arrived at Zuilongling early in the morning. Ren Boxun usually lived alone, with only Bai Qiaosong taking care of him. He didn't even have a servant to help him.
Mrs. Ren brought the most capable chefs and servants with her, and now she is directing the servants to run around in Ren Boxun's villa.
Originally, these things were done by Dai Yuecheng. Now that her daughter-in-law is about to give birth, Mrs. Ren has been very busy these days.
In addition to not arranging any household affairs, Ling Muxue also came to the house to disturb them every now and then. In order to maintain a relationship with the Ling family, Mrs. Ren kept attending social events.
It’s really annoying to say the least. If Ren Tingxi and Ling Muxue had a better relationship, she wouldn’t have to worry so much.
Besides, Ling Muxue loves to take care of things. If Ling Muxue could come over for the family dinner today and help her, she wouldn't have to work so hard like she does now.
Ren Tingxi arrived more than an hour later than his parents. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his mother busying around.
Ren Boxun was fiddling with his antique clock that had stopped working at the table. No matter what he did, it just wouldn't start. He had been studying it here for the entire morning.
Ren Tingxi was wearing a dark black suit, with a tall figure and handsome features. He walked with slender steps and walked straight to Ren Boxun without even looking at his parents.
"Grandpa, I'm here. I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."
The last time Ren Boxun saw Ren Tingxi was 8 years ago at Ren Tingyi's wedding. After not seeing him for a few years, he has become much more mature and stable, and his mind seems to be more calm.
It seems that this child must have suffered a lot outside over the years.
"Tingxi is here, come quickly and help grandpa look at the clock. I have been working on it all morning, but I still can't fix it."
When he was a child, Ren Tingxi loved to dismantle his grandfather's machinery and equipment in his grandfather's utility room. Now that he has grown up, his grandfather's eyesight has not been good, so he can only ask his parents to help him repair these treasures.
Ren Tingxi took the entire clock apart in a few seconds. He put the parts one by one into different categories and checked them one by one to see if there were any problems.
"One of the gears here is broken. If we want to fix it, we have to replace it with a new one."
"But the manufacturer of this clock has been closed for more than ten years. Where can I find this part?"
"That's not difficult. I've been researching a new 3D printing technology lately. Maybe I can make one myself. When I'm done, I'll personally deliver it to you, Grandpa."
"Okay, okay, it's a deal."
Ren Tingxi concentrated on piecing the clock back together bit by bit.
He feels much more comfortable facing these machines than facing you in this room.
"By the way, where is your new wife? Why didn't she come with you?" Ren Boxun looked again and again outside the gate and found that no one was following Ren Tingxi. He came here alone today.
"A very important elder on his father's side is seriously ill, and he asked her to go with him to visit the old man, so she didn't come today."
"I will definitely bring him with me someday and apologize to Grandpa."
Ren's mother, who had overheard the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, could no longer hold back. "She's truly a village girl, completely lacking in decorum. Today is Grandpa's birthday, and she didn't even come. Is she worthy of being a member of the Ren family?"
Ren Tingxi knew that when his mother spoke, she must be causing trouble.
"I also grew up in a mountain village. What's wrong? Am I not decent enough to be a member of the Ren family?" Ren Boxun couldn't help but retort when he heard his daughter-in-law's sour words.
"Dad, what are you talking about? How can that girl compare to you?"
"Why not? All men are created equal."
"If you have time to talk here, why don't you go check if the chicken soup I prepared for Yuecheng is cooked enough?"
Seeing that her father-in-law didn't like her, Ren's mother didn't want to stay here and make herself bored.
Old Mrs. Bai, who was drinking tea and reading a book in the living room, saw Ren's mother leave with a gloomy face. Then she looked over and smiled with her lips curled up.
Ren Tingxi heard a hearty laugh and then realized that there was an old lady sitting in the living room.
"Hello, old lady."
"Mr. Ren, it's our first meeting. Nice to meet you. Your name is well-known to me."
"It's the first time we meet, I wonder who you are?"
"Mr. Ren, you don't recognize me?"
Ren Tingxi never went to the company, nor did he attend any shareholders' meeting of the Ren family.
Bai Qiaosong is now in charge of many matters in the jewelry store, so this is the first formal meeting between Ren Tingxi and Old Mrs. Bai.
But... of course he knew about the old lady of the Bai family.
Because he wanted to use Ling Muxue to buy shares from various shareholders, the most difficult person to deal with was the old lady Bai in front of him.
If he could persuade the old lady to sell her shares to him, Ren Tingxi would now be the largest shareholder of Ren Group, saving him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
But the old lady was a person who would not be persuaded by anything, and even the eldest brother had used all sorts of tricks but still failed to get the shares from the old lady Bai. It was even more difficult for him, Ren Tingxi.
Ren Tingxi had been feeling uneasy these days since he had been with Old Lady Bai. He had thought that he would confront Old Lady Bai when he saw her, but for some reason, Ren Tingxi felt that the old lady in front of him made him feel very kind.
Maybe it’s because she looks a bit like Lan Xiaolan.
