Something on your mind?
What would that be?
Lin Guixiang’s brows furrowed slightly as her mind raced with thoughts.
Although she was Mu Baicheng’s girlfriend, she wasn’t familiar with Old Lady Mu since this was their first meeting.
Following standard protocol,
she should have been the one to seek out Old Lady Mu.
Instead, it was Old Lady Mu who, along with her granddaughter, had suddenly come looking for her, and without her prior knowledge.
It was somewhat presumptuous.
However, since the visitor was, after all, Mu Baicheng’s mother, and considering her advanced age, Lin Guixiang didn’t want to dwell on these issues and maintained a polite smile, "Aunt Mu, please speak."
Old Lady Mu didn’t speak immediately but instead looked up at Aunt Shen. freewebnøvel_com
Lin Guixiang quickly grasped the situation, "Aunt Shen, there’s nothing else happening today, you can get off work first."
Aunt Shen glanced at Lin Guixiang, then took off her apron, "Okay, ma’am."
As she finished speaking, Aunt Shen looked at Lin Guixiang and added, "Ma’am, the bird’s nest soup is ready, it’s in the pot. When the young miss comes home from school, remember to remind her to eat it."
Bird’s nest soup?
Upon hearing this, a sneer almost surfaced in Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes.
If it weren’t for Mu Baicheng, this mother and daughter probably couldn’t even afford to eat white fungus, could they?
And yet they talk about bird’s nest soup?
If they weren’t born into wealth, why squeeze into this circle?
Isn’t it disgusting?
"Okay." Lin Guixiang nodded her head.
After tidying up a little, Aunt Shen prepared to leave work.
Tang Dynasty Yipin had two elevators for each unit, so the elevator was particularly idle. Aunt Shen had just pressed the button when the elevator arrived.
Aunt Shen stepped into the elevator.
Speaking of coincidences.
The elevator stopped at the 27th floor, the doors opened, and Mother Zhao came in carrying a sound system.
Shen Cuifen greeted Mother Zhao with a smile, "Old lady, are you heading downstairs to dance?"
Although Mother Zhao had been at Tang Dynasty Yipin for only a few months, she already fit in swimmingly, acquainting herself with a large group of elderly ladies who danced together.
Mother Zhao nodded, "Yes, I’ve made arrangements to go dancing with a few of them."
At this point, as if remembering something, Mother Zhao looked at Shen Cuifen, "Xiao Shen, are you going downstairs to buy something?"
Shen Cuifen and Ma Lan worked on a day on, day off system, and their off-work time was at ten o’clock at night.
It was only one o’clock in the afternoon now.
Shen Cuifen replied, "There was a guest at the madam’s house, so she let me off work early."
A guest at the house?
Logically, with a guest at the house, Shen Cuifen’s help would be even more needed for cooking and entertaining the guest.
Why would Lin Guixiang let Shen Cuifen off work early?
Mother Zhao felt something was off and frowned, "Who came over?"
"I don’t know them," shook her head Shen Cuifen, "but I heard the madam call her Aunt Mu."
Aunt Mu?
For some reason, Mother Zhao immediately thought of the grandparent and grandchild duo she had encountered in the elevator.
With this in mind, Mother Zhao quickly said, "Was it an old and young pair, the elder wearing a black qipao and the younger one dressed in a red suit? And they didn’t look like good people."
Shen Cuifen nodded, "Yes, you’re exactly right."
Mother Zhao narrowed her eyes, "Could that really be Xiao Mu’s mother?"
Ding!
At that moment, the elevator reached the first floor.
Shen Cuifen walked out, but Mother Zhao stood still, showing no intention of exiting the elevator.
Seeing this, Shen Cuifen looked at Mother Zhao, "Auntie, we’re here, aren’t you going down?"
"No," Mother Zhao waved her hand, "I just remembered I have something else to do."
"Then I’ll be leaving first," said Shen Cuifen.
"Alright." Mother Zhao nodded, "Go on back."
After Shen Cuifen left, Mother Zhao immediately pressed the button to return to the 27th floor.
Seeing her reaction, Shen Cuifen asked curiously, "Auntie, aren’t you going to dance at the plaza anymore?"
First, she had to take the sound system back home and then consult with her husband about their next move.
Meanwhile,
At the Lin Family’s place,
Old Lady Mu got straight to the point, "Ms. Lin, I’ve heard that you’re dating our Chengcheng?"
"Yes." Lin Guixiang nodded slightly.
"Then how did you two meet?" Old Lady Mu continued to ask.
Before Lin Guixiang could answer, Old Lady Mu went on, "Although our Chengcheng is already over forty, he still has the temperament of a child and isn’t mature enough. Being with him requires a lot of understanding from you."
This statement was layered.
On the surface, she was asking Lin Guixiang to be more accommodating, but in fact, she was reminding Lin Guixiang that Mu Baicheng’s relationship with her was just a fleeting fling and advised her not to take it too seriously, after all, Mu Baicheng was just childish.
It was also a warning to Lin Guixiang that the position of a wealthy family’s matriarch is not so easily attained.
Having been in the business world for such a long time, Lin Guixiang naturally understood the meaning in Old Lady Mu’s words. She wasn’t upset but simply smiled faintly and spoke in a gentle tone, "Aunt Mu, although Baicheng and I haven’t known each other for long, I can see that he is a responsible and committed good man. You’ve raised him well, so you don’t have to worry about that issue."
