Chapter 18 Is Mu Nanyan at home?
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Lu Yiran could only agree reluctantly. In their Lu family, the old lady had the highest status because the old man doted on her, and the younger generations had to do what the old man wanted. Although Mr. Lu was old, his prestige was still there, and the power of Dingsheng Group was still in his hands.
The old lady hung up the phone after getting the answer she wanted. She didn't want to talk to this cold grandson. She just wanted to meet her beautiful granddaughter-in-law.
On the day of Lu Yiran and Mu Nanyan's wedding, the old house received Mu Nanyan's photo. The old lady liked Mu Nanyan very much at first sight and had wanted to meet her for a long time, but she wanted the young couple to spend more time together, so she had delayed it until now.
Lu Yiran looked at his hung up phone and thought that he hadn't been back to Yu Jingtian for a week. It seemed that he had to go back tonight.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening when he finished his work, and then he drove back to Yujing Tiancheng.
The housekeeper was overjoyed to hear that the eldest young master would be back tonight. The eldest young master's anger should have subsided. It had been a week. The housekeeper saw the young mistress going out early and coming back late every day, and the eldest young master never came back. He thought the two of them were going to get divorced, but he was worried to death. He had watched Lu Yiran grow up since he was a child and regarded Lu Yiran as half a son. After spending some time together, he felt that Mu Nanyan had good character, did not have the temper of a young lady, and was also good-looking. As long as the two of them spent more time together, they would definitely be able to get along well.
Not long after, Lu Yiran's car appeared at the gate of the mansion. He got out of the car, threw the car keys to the doorman, and walked straight into the mansion. The housekeeper hurried out to greet him.
"Master, you're back."
"Well, is Mu Nanyan at home?"
"Young Madam hasn't come back yet. She's usually busy until around eight or nine."
When Lu Yiran heard this, he frowned subconsciously. What could be busier than him, a big CEO, and why he came back so late every day?
"What is she busy with?"
"The young mistress seems to have found an internship recently, so she's quite busy. I didn't ask much, so I'm not sure."
"knew."
After saying that, Lu Yiran walked straight to the sofa in the living room and sat down. The housekeeper immediately asked someone to serve tea and fruit.
"Master, it's already dinner time. Do you want to eat now or wait for Madam to come back and eat together?"
Lu Yiran thought about the purpose of coming back today, and said, "Let's eat together when she comes back."
The housekeeper was immediately delighted when he heard this. A young master of his status should never have needed to accommodate others; it was always their turn for others to wait for him. Yet, the young master actually waited for the young mistress to come back for dinner today. This must have been an effort to smooth things over. The housekeeper was already wondering if they could sleep together in the next few days. Perhaps next year, the old lady would have a great-grandson.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. The butler was afraid that he would not be able to control his expression and be discovered by the eldest young master, so he found an opportunity to sneak into the kitchen to watch the chefs prepare the meal.
Lu Yiran sat back on the sofa, reading the financial news while waiting for Mu Nanyan to come back. He thought the eight or nine o'clock the housekeeper mentioned meant a little after eight, and it wasn't even nine o'clock yet. When he returned to Yujing Tiancheng, it was already almost eight o'clock, so he shouldn't have to wait long. Who knew that he would wait until half past nine, and Mu Nanyan still hadn't returned. Lu Yiran's expression became more and more impatient, and his face became more and more ugly. The housekeeper was also very anxious when he saw that Mu Nanyan hadn't returned yet. Mu Nanyan had returned before nine o'clock before, but this was the first time she hadn't returned so late.
I had thought the Young Master and Young Mistress would be able to reconcile today, but who knew the Young Mistress would keep the Young Master waiting for so long? Maybe they'd even have a fight. Hey, why did the Young Mistress come home so late today?
The housekeeper walked cautiously to Lu Yiran and said, "Master, why don't you eat first? The young mistress may have been delayed by something."
Lu Yiran was indeed a little hungry, but he had lost his appetite because of Mu Nanyan's anger.
"Butler, please go down first. I want to see when she will come back today."
"Yes, Master."
The housekeeper didn't dare to say anything more and could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that the young mistress would come back early today. He also secretly sent a message to Mu Nanyan, telling her that the eldest young master would be back tonight, but he did not receive a reply from Mu Nanyan, and the message fell into oblivion.
Lu Yiran felt that he and Mu Nanyan were destined to clash. This reminded him of the night Mu Nanyan first came here. He also had something to ask Mu Nanyan, and he waited for her all afternoon, but she didn't show up until the evening. Today was no different. It seemed that she disappeared whenever he had something to ask her. The arrogant President Lu didn't even want to call Mu Nanyan. He just sat on the sofa with an empty stomach waiting for her to come back. He didn't know if he was competing with him or Mu Nanyan.
Meanwhile, Mu Nanyan was sitting at a bar hanging out with Tang Yutong. She'd gotten off work at six in the afternoon and was about to head home when she got a call from Tang Yutong, who said she didn't have to work the next weekend and invited her out for dinner. Mu Nanyan thought it made sense, so she went. After dinner, they realized it was still early, so Tang Yutong brought her to the bar.
This was Mu Nanyan's first time in a place like this, but she didn't dislike it. It was like a paradise on earth. The colorful wine, the deafening music, the crazy and crazy dancing, and the dim light made her forget the pressure she faced in real life, the past that she once remembered vividly, and the pain that once lingered in the depths of her heart...
She really wanted to get drunk today, but she was allergic to alcohol and couldn't touch any wine. She came here just to feel other people's happiness. She seemed like the only sober person in this paradise and was out of tune with them.
Tang Yutong ordered a glass of juice for her and a cocktail for herself. She was just a college student who had just entered society and could not drink much. She came here just to relax and didn't want anything to happen, so she ordered a low-alcohol cocktail for herself.
The two of them were chatting and laughing while watching the performance on the stage, having a lot of fun and not paying any attention to the time.
At 10:30 in the evening, Lu Yiran saw that Mu Nanyan had not returned yet, and he could no longer sit still. He called Song Rui.
"Go check where Mu Nanyan is now. I want the answer within half an hour."
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
After saying that, Lu Yiran hung up the phone. Song Rui originally thought that he would have a day off tomorrow and could have a good rest today. He had already taken a shower and was ready to go to bed, but he had to put on his clothes and go out to check Mu Nanyan's whereabouts. Special Assistant Song also had a hard life.
