Chapter 155 Why do I see Yiran as a child?
When mentioning Old Madam Lu, Mu Nanyan's heart sank suddenly. When she first married Lu Yiran, Old Madam Lu treated her the best and loved her almost like her own granddaughter.
But her marriage with Lu Yiran was a deal from the beginning. The two of them had worked together to deceive Old Lady Lu. Now that things had turned out like this, she really didn't have the face to see her again.
"Grandma... knows about our situation?"
Mu Nanyan asked in a low voice, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone.
"knew."
Lu Yiran nodded, as if he had guessed what she was thinking, and continued,
"Grandma simply missed you and wanted to see her only great-grandson. I don't blame you for what happened back then."
Mu Nanyan was silent for a moment, struggling in her heart. She knew that Mrs. Lu had always been very good to her, and as a descendant of the Lu family, Chenchen should indeed meet this great-grandmother.
However, there was always a hurdle in her heart, and she felt that she was not qualified to appear in front of the Lu family again. After all, her marriage with Lu Yiran was never real, and she was just a fake Mrs. Lu.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Lu Yiran slowed down his tone:
"If you don't want to go, I won't force you, but grandma is old now and her health is not as good as before. I want her to see her great-grandson."
Mu Nanyan raised her head and looked into Lu Yiran's deep eyes, feeling mixed emotions.
She knew that Lu Yiran was telling the truth. Old Mrs. Lu was indeed old, and as a younger generation, she should perhaps let go of her past guilt and go meet her.
Finally, she nodded gently:
"Okay, I'll take Chenchen to see grandma."
Lu Yiran showed a relieved smile on his face, and his tone became much more relaxed:
"Thank you, Nan Yan."
Mu Nanyan shook her head and whispered:
"Don't thank me. This is what I should do. After all, grandma was really good to me."
The two continued to walk downstairs. The atmosphere was much more relaxed than before. Although Mu Nanyan was still a little nervous, she thought that it might be a good thing for Chenchen to meet his great-grandmother.
Not long after the two of them went downstairs, Chenchen ran down from upstairs with his short legs, a hint of anxiety on his little face.
When he saw Mu Nanyan, he immediately ran towards her, shouting:
"Sister Yan, am I going to be late for school?"
Mu Nanyan didn't expect Chenchen to be worried about going to school so early in the morning. She felt both amused and touched.
She squatted down, gently touched Chenchen's head, and soothed him softly:
"Don't worry, Mommy has already asked for leave for you this morning. We won't be back in Haicheng until this afternoon, so you don't have to go to school today."
When Chenchen heard this, his eyes lit up immediately and he asked excitedly:
"Then can I go play with my godmother in the morning?"
Mu Nanyan and Lu Yiran looked at each other, then she lowered her head to look at Chenchen, her tone gentle:
"You may not be able to go to your godmother's today. Mommy wants to take you to meet two very important people."
Chenchen tilted his head, looking puzzled:
"Who is it?"
"They are your uncle's grandparents, your great-grandfather and great-grandmother."
Chenchen blinked and asked curiously:
"What kind of people are they? Are they like my great-grandmother and great-grandfather?"
Mu Nanyan smiled and nodded:
"Yes, your great-grandfather and great-grandmother were very kind to Mommy. I believe you will like them too."
After hearing this, Chenchen showed an expectant look on his face:
"Will they prepare a lot of delicious food for me?"
Mu Nanyan was amused by Chenchen's innocence and gently pinched his cheek:
"You only know how to eat. But, great-grandfather and great-grandmother will definitely like you very much."
Chenchen raised his little face proudly:
"Of course, I'm loved by everyone."
Mu Nanyan and Lu Yiran were both amused by him. The three of them went to the restaurant together, had a simple breakfast, and then prepared to set off for the Lu family's old house.
Lu Yiran sat in the driver's seat, looking at Mu Nanyan and Chenchen sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
The mother and son were chatting happily. Chenchen laughed from time to time, and Mu Nanyan responded to him gently with a happy smile on her face.
Lu Yiran looked at this scene, and suddenly a warm feeling surged in his heart.
This was the first time he was so willing to be a driver. He even hoped that the road could be longer and time could stop at this moment.
The car slowly drove out of the villa area and headed towards the Lu family's old house.
————
Arriving at the Lu family's old house, Mu Nanyan took Chenchen's hand and got out of the car. Lu Yiran handed the car keys to the servant waiting at the door, and then took Mu Nanyan and Chenchen into the gate of the old house.
As Chenchen walked, he looked around with wide eyes, his face full of surprise and curiosity. He pulled Mu Nanyan's hand and said excitedly:
"Sister Yan, this place is so big! It's even bigger than my great-grandmother's house!"
Mu Nanyan smiled and gently squeezed his hand:
"Yes, this is the home of my great-grandfather and great-grandmother. They have lived here for many years."
The three of them continued walking inside, through a long corridor, and arrived at the living room.
In the living room, Old Mrs. Lu was sitting on the sofa, holding a photo album in her hand, seemingly looking through something.
Hearing footsteps coming from the door, she raised her head and first saw Lu Yiran, then her eyes fell on Mu Nanyan who was following behind.
The old lady was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashed in her eyes. She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked tentatively:
"Is this... Yanyan?"
Mu Nanyan also saw the old lady. After not seeing her for a few years, the changes in the old lady made her heart tremble.
His originally black hair had turned almost completely white, and the wrinkles on his face had deepened a lot, but his eyes were still bright and full of spirit, revealing a sense of kindness and warmth.
The first time she saw the old lady, Mu Nanyan's nose felt sore and her eyes instantly moistened. She walked forward quickly, her voice choked with sobs:
"Grandma, it's me, Yanyan."
When Mrs. Lu heard her voice, the expression on her face changed from surprise to joy, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She reached out her hand and tremblingly held Mu Nanyan's hand, her tone full of love:
"It's really Yanyan! I haven't seen you in several years."
Mu Nanyan held the old lady's hand tightly, feeling guilty and moved. She lowered her head and said softly:
"Grandma, I'm sorry it took so long to come see you."
Mrs. Lu shook her head and patted the back of her hand gently:
"I'm glad you're back. How have you been these years?"
"I'm fine."
At this time, Chenchen poked his little head out from behind Mu Nanyan and looked at Mrs. Lu curiously.
Mrs. Lu noticed him and her expression was a little shocked. She looked at Chenchen, then at the photo album in her hand and said:
"Is this my illusion? Why do I see Yiran as a child?"
"Grandma, this is Chenchen, your great-grandson."
Mu Nanyan gently pulled Chenchen's hand and asked him to stand in front of Mrs. Lu:
"Chenchen, this is grandma, hurry up and call someone."
Chenchen walked forward obediently, raised his little face, and called out sweetly:
"Hello, Grandma!"
