Chapter 138 Losing both the wife and the army
The Zhou family was immersed in joy the entire afternoon. Psychologists, renowned experts, arrived in waves, and Rong Yuan, who had been attending a meeting in the neighboring province, also rushed back.
An An really dislikes these people. She pouts and refuses to cooperate with anyone.
She looked at Zhou Yaokun eagerly and said, "Zhizhi... Zhizhi... Zhizhi..."
The word "little girl" became more and more fluent as she spoke it, without the hesitation she had at the beginning.
Little Ancestor: "Can you please answer what the doctor asked?"
"Zhizhi...Xinxin...Auntie..."
The little princess refused to cooperate at all and only called these three names.
"Okay, okay, let's go find your good friends. But An An, please cooperate with the doctor. You're completely healed and can speak well. When you see your good friends again, give them a surprise. Will they be very happy?"
The little girl thought about Zhou Yaokun's suggestion and nodded in agreement.
However, no matter how the doctor guided her, the little girl just couldn't say anything else. Even when the doctor asked her to say her friend's name, the little girl couldn't say it and was so anxious that tears came to her eyes.
"Don't cry, don't cry, An'an, we won't cry. Let your uncle take you to find Zhizhi, Xinxin, and Auntie..."
Grandpa Zhou couldn't bear to see his precious granddaughter being embarrassed and crying.
"It's a great thing that the child can speak. Don't force her. Let's not talk about it anymore, An'an. Let's not talk about it anymore. Go drink some water with grandpa. Let's pack up and follow uncle to Haicheng to find your Zhizhi, Xinxin, and aunt tomorrow morning, okay?"
"Zhizhi, Xinxin, Auntie..."
The little girl then burst into laughter.
Let her drink water when she is asked to drink water, and eat when she is asked to eat. The obedient old man Zhou is so happy that his heart melts.
The family just watched An An eat and drink.
By the way, we discussed going to Haicheng.
Mr. Zhou said, "Waiter, during this time, you should accompany An An to Haicheng and buy a house next to Xiao Huo's family there. Live there for the time being and see if An An will get better as she spends more time with them. You are the only one in the Zhou family who has nothing to do, so this glorious and arduous task is now handed over to you."
Zhou Yaokun: "...I...Okay, but Dad, I don't agree if you say I'm the only one in the Zhou family who has nothing to do. I'm also very busy, okay?"
Old Mrs. Zhou snorted: "Nothing is more important than An An, so stop complaining."
Rong Yuan pressed the corners of her red eyes and said to her brother-in-law seriously, "Yao Kun, I'm leaving my sister-in-law to you."
"Hey, sister-in-law, I was just joking with our dad. What's the difference between An An and my own daughter? Mom is right. An An is the most important thing in our family. Don't worry. When we go to Haicheng, I will take good care of An An."
The Mu family's family dinner was harmonious, completely different from what Xizhi had expected. The old couple of the Mu family, as well as their son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were all friendly. Although they were not very enthusiastic, they showed basic respect.
After dinner, tea was served in the living room and we drank tea and chatted together.
Mr. Mu pondered for a moment and then slowly said:
"Yanting, your mother was the youngest in the family, and she was a girl. She was spoiled by me and your grandmother, and her brothers all followed her lead, which led to her arrogant and selfish personality. Don't you think that if someone with such a personality raises a child, the child will be more domineering and arrogant?
You were right to teach Mo Chen a lesson on the court that day. He is such an adult, but he has no sense of propriety. Your uncle Xuan also called and said that he scolded him. He had never scolded him so harshly before. I believe he is truly repentant.
Yan Ting, we are family after all, let's just let this matter go and give grandpa some face, what do you think, Yan Ting?"
It's all about face. Your face is not good, so why do you always want Boss Huo to save your face?
Xizhi looked at the handsome face of the man next to her.
There was no emotion on his indifferent face. Had he suffered too much such grievances over the years?
"Mr. Mu..."
"Grandpa, my girlfriend can't stand seeing me being scolded, but I don't care. We've been through this for so many years. This is the first time someone cares about me like this. I won't let her care for me become a joke."
Huo Yanting didn't let Xizhi speak and responded to the old man's words.
In the Mu family's huge living room, the atmosphere was cold for a moment.
The old couple of the Mu family looked unhappy. Did the prestigious Mu family have to look at the face of a second-married abandoned woman from the countryside?
"It's getting late. Thank you for your hospitality, elders. We'll go back first..."
"Mom! Didn't you say you prepared a gift for Yan Ting's girlfriend?"
The eldest son Mu Song's reminder made the old lady's cold face crack a little, and she glanced at Grandpa Mu.
Old Master Mu nodded and said, "Yes, Yan Ting, don't be in a hurry to leave. Your grandmother prepared a gift for your girlfriend. She was very happy to hear that you had a girlfriend. She had prepared it a long time ago and was just waiting for you to come."
The servant brought out a gift box.
Opening the exquisite velvet box was a set of exquisitely crafted jade jewelry, including a bracelet, a pendant necklace, and a pair of earrings.
"Good boy, this is the CT classic jadeite set I bought in London last month for one million US dollars. I loved it the moment I saw it, but when I got back I heard Yan Ting had a girlfriend. Isn't that a coincidence? Take it. It's a gift from an old woman like me."
Although Xizhi knew that the Mu family was dissatisfied with her, they were very good at saving face.
She looked at Huo Yanting.
The man smiled at her gently: "If you like it, take it."
The eyes of the two elders of the Mu family darkened again.
If they like it, they will accept it. But if they don’t like it, then why don’t you give them this face?
How could he be so obsessed with this second-hand woman?
Seeing her son winking at her desperately, the old lady took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and stuffed the jewelry into Xizhi's hands.
"Please accept it, please accept it. A woman always has enough jewelry. If you find something that suits your taste in the future, grandma will buy it for you."
"Then I thank you. I like this gift very much. Yan Ting, please don't make things difficult for the old man. Let's end it here, okay?"
The man looked at her with soft eyes and responded softly.
"Um."
At this point, everyone in the Mu family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
only.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Yan Ting has suffered too much injustice since he was a child. Even if Mom doesn't love him and loves her younger son more, please don't hurt him anymore. I can't stand hearing any of those ugly insults. Grandpa is right. Since we are a family, we should live in harmony and friendship. Even if we can't do that, we should keep to ourselves and live in peace."
The moment Xizhi and Huo Yanting got in the car and left the Mu family.
There was a sound of a cup breaking on the ground in the villa.
The stadium incident ended with the Mu family giving the Xuan family a set of jewelry worth one million US dollars and a river view duplex apartment worth fifty million.
The money for these things came from Mu Wanrou's personal property. Adding the 80 million check she had given to Xizhi earlier, the total expenditure was over 100 million.
Mrs. Xuan, who had just been released from the hospital, was actually admitted to the hospital again this time.
She just wanted to give Xizhi a warning, but she didn't expect to lose not only her wife but also her soldiers, suffering heavy losses, and was also criticized by both her husband's family and her parents' family.
Mu Wanrou couldn't swallow this insult!
That night, Huo Yanting held Xizhi in his arms, and kept repeating in his mind what she had said to the two elders of the Mu family.
Holding her, he felt like he owned the whole world.
"Zhizhi."
"Um?"
Xizhi was very sleepy and listened to the man with her eyes closed.
"Let's go back to Haicheng and have a date. I'll ask you out."
