Chapter 300 Nie Family Dinner
"Lian Yi, don't leave in a hurry. I will find you for something later," Nie Yuning added.
Lian Yi lowered his eyes and moved away from Madam Nie unnoticeably under the pretext of pouring water.
The food was delicious, but with a big shot like General Nie around, most people wouldn't really eat it with their heart.
However, Yun Mo and Lian Yi were not ordinary people. As long as Mrs. Nie didn't say anything, they would eat casually.
After dinner, General Nie received an urgent meeting and went to the study upstairs first.
The remaining three people sat on the sofa drinking tea and chatting.
Madam Nie looked at Lian Yi, then at Yun Mo, her eyes full of satisfaction.
Madam Nie asked, "Yunmo, do you have a boyfriend?"
Yun Mo looked up in surprise: ...? ?
Mrs. Nie was amused by her expression. "It's okay, it's okay. You just came of age. It's still early."
She turned to Lian Yi again and said, "Lian Yi, your mother has asked me several times. When do you think you can meet Linda again?"
Lian Yi coughed out a mouthful of tea, covered his mouth awkwardly and looked for a tissue.
"Lian Yi, you're not young anymore, it's time to think about getting married."
Lian Yi's back tensed up, and he felt that he had entered into a fatal topic. He quickly analyzed the enemy situation with his decisive brain when handling military affairs, and finally found a perfect excuse before Madam Nie opened her mouth for the second time.
"Ahem, Madam Nie, Gao Sheng is still single..."
"Tsk," Mrs. Nie rolled her eyes at him and pointed towards the study. Her meaning was very clear: don't say this in front of General Nie.
Lian Yi took a deep breath and realized that this unpleasant topic was very effective.
"well……"
Mrs. Nie was quiet for three seconds, then sighed. "Come on, each of you already has your own opinion. Gao Sheng hasn't been home for over a year, and every time you call, you argue. Can't you just give in?"
Lian Yi didn't know how to respond to this topic, so he just laughed it off: "He's really a nice guy, but he has a bad temper."
Yun Mo pouted secretly: ...If I tell a lie against my conscience, will I be punished by heaven?
Thinking of her son, Mrs. Nie was filled with complaints, her brows full of disdain. "Whenever I mention him, I get so angry. He's such a grown-up, but he's never behaved properly. Look at the cigarettes he smokes. I get angry every time I see him!"
"If you ask me, the smoking ban must be enforced within the team!"
Yun Mo nodded repeatedly as she listened, and then agreed, "Mrs. Nie, I have some excellent Chinese medicine here that can definitely help you quit smoking without any side effects."
Lian Yi disagreed and kicked her quietly, thinking to himself, "Don't add fuel to the fire."
Mrs. Nie held the teacup, her thoughts wandering as her eyes suddenly lit up. "Lian Yi, where's Lian Zhu?"
Lian Yi looked at her with a bit of suspicion and hesitation, "I'm running around with my big brother during the holidays."
Madam Nie nodded. "I haven't seen her for a long time. She's grown up now, right? I remember when she was little, she always followed Gao Sheng around. I think Gao Sheng was only polite to her. Do you think they're a good match?"
Lian Yi broke out in a sweat on his forehead. What should he say?
Good brothers are really good brothers, but she is my biological sister...
Yun Mo felt that he had really broadened his horizons today. Mrs. Nie's way of thinking was truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.
I'm afraid there is only one single person left in the world, and her son will use his life to interpret the value of his existence.
"Lian Yi, come here," Nie Yunning pushed open the door of the study upstairs and shouted at him.
Lian Yi stood up quickly as if he had been pardoned, "Mrs. Nie, I'll go up first."
"Go ahead," Mrs. Nie waved her hand gently.
With Yun Mo alone, the conversation became more casual. Madam Nie smiled and said, "Look at how anxious he is to leave. Do you think I don't know what he's thinking?"
Yun Mo also laughed and changed the subject, "The tea in your house is so fragrant, it smells just like the flowers in the yard."
Mrs. Nie was delighted. "Little girl, you have good taste. I used that to dry it. I made it according to an ancient recipe. If you like it, take some back with you."
The more Mrs. Nie looked at Yun Mo, the more she liked her. After chatting for a while, she actually stood up, took out a laptop, and projected photos of the house to show her.
"This was when Gao Sheng was little. He wasn't so rebellious back then..."
"He's grown up a bit now, and he insists on joining the 72nd Army..."
"This is……"
Yun Mo looked at the young face in front of her and sighed that in life, it is not necessarily women who can change into eighteen different forms.
"Well, I'm not worried about anything else, I just want him to come home more often."
After flipping through the photos for a long time, Mrs. Nie sat on the sofa and sighed softly.
Yun Mo smiled, thinking that the Nie family was a strong supporter. Although General Nie promised that the future instructor would not be Gousheng, it was hard to say whether there would be any accidents. For the sake of the future, she planned to pull Mrs. Nie to her side first.
"I might be able to help him with the problem of returning home," Yun Mo said.
"Oh? How can I help?" Mrs. Nie asked without coming to her senses.
"I can tell fortunes, do you want to ask? But I will charge a fee, and my fortune will be answered only if you are sincere."
As Yun Mo spoke, he took out a coin and pushed it across the table.
Mrs. Nie looked at Yunmo, then at the coin, completely confused.
But he still concentrated and calmed down under her instructions, thinking about what he wanted to ask. He lost six times in a row and got the Li hexagram.
This game was quite novel. Mrs. Nie asked with interest, "What does this mean?"
Yun Mo slowly took back the coin. "The Li hexagram means treading on a tiger's tail. It won't bite anyone, so it means prosperity. If we're calculating his return date, the formula is: If the God of Use overcomes the World line, he'll be home the day he arrives. Today is the noon fire, representing parents, which overcomes the world, so he'll definitely arrive today."
Madam Nie was amused by her serious tone. "Haha, Yunmo, I just realized that you are so interesting."
Yunmo: ...
Madam Nie continued, "You're not saying that Gao Sheng will be back today, are you?"
Yun Mo: "Ang... I've already left and will be back today."
Madam Nie smiled bitterly and said, "Impossible."
Yun Mo shook her head. "Nothing is impossible. Even though Colonel Nie doesn't look like a good person on the surface, judging from his facial features, he is..."
Before he could finish his words, the door was pushed open from the outside, "I'm back."
Mrs. Nie: ...Amazing!
Yun Mo: ...Don’t talk about people behind their backs. Talking about people is never a good thing.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a handsome guy go home?" Nie Guansheng said as he touched his face.
"You still have the nerve to come back? Your father is upstairs..." Mrs. Nie scolded with a smile, her eyes almost welling up with tears.
Yun Mo didn't know if he heard what she just said. She hoped not. She hadn't said the compliment she wanted to give against her will, and it didn't sound very nice when she did.
She tried to reduce her presence, and while Mrs. Nie was chatting with someone, she stood up and walked to the corner of the living room to get some dessert.
"Yo..." A voice came from behind.
Yun Mo's hand holding the plate paused.
A dark shadow blocked his way. Nie Guansheng's legs were shaking as he touched the ground. Two buttons on his collar were undone, and his sleeves were casually rolled up halfway, revealing his wheat-colored skin.
