"Brother, you're back? Where's my sister-in-law?" Mu Yanran looked up and asked when she saw that he was the only one coming back. She also looked behind her but didn't see anyone.
"Oh, your sister-in-law went back to her parents' home." Mu Jingjue answered her in a low mood.
"Going back to her parents' home? Did you have a fight?" Mu Yanran asked nervously when she saw her brother's expression was not right. It was no wonder she was making such a fuss. Her sister-in-law never came back usually, and when she suddenly went back, she immediately thought of this.
Mu Jingjue gave her an idiotic look, "What are you thinking? Is your brother that kind of person?"
Mu Yanran heard that it was not true, and then she let go of the worry in her heart. Then, she lay back down and said disdainfully, "Oh, isn't it? A few days ago, it seemed that I could smell the smell of gunpowder in the house."
"Hey, you naughty girl, you have no respect for your elders." Mu Jingjue hit her on the head rudely.
Mu Yanran covered her head in pain and looked at her brother angrily.
Mu Jingjue didn't care about her resentful look and just lay there comfortably.
"Brother, Sister Si is back? Did you know?" Mu Yanran said cautiously, observing her brother's expression. But she didn't see any reaction on his face at all. Not even a hint of surprise.
It seems that brother, you have really let it go.
But this is also good, because then my brother will be my sister-in-law's.
But she was a little conflicted. What about Sister Si?
Although she likes her sister-in-law, Sister Si has been her friend since childhood, and she doesn't want to see her sad. It would be great if Sister Si doesn't like her brother either, she thought.
Maybe Sister Si doesn't like him either? After all, there are so many handsome men in the entertainment industry, there must be one that Sister Si likes, right?
Mu Jingjue found it funny to see her frowning, relaxing, and then frowning again.
I'm still a child, so I just like to worry about this?
"I've seen her. I just sent your sister Si back home." Mu Jingjue said in a relaxed tone as usual.
"Ah? You went to the airport to pick her up?" Mu Yanran was a little surprised when she heard that it was her brother who went to the airport to pick her up.
"Well, why are you so surprised?"
"No, I just thought that my brother wouldn't go."
"Humph, that's what you think. Okay, stop overthinking it. You don't need to worry about my brother's affairs. Just study hard."
"oh."
When the grandmother came out, she saw her grandson sitting alone on the sofa, leaning tiredly and looking a little lonely.
She couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him. He was so young, but he had such a big company on his shoulders. It was conceivable how much pressure he was under.
Before her grandson got married, she'd been thinking, if she were gone, how would he live alone? The vast family fortune, the huge house, all cold and desolate, with only his brother and sister left. If she were still a few years younger, she wouldn't have worried so much, but now she was old, and there weren't many years left to look forward to.
But fortunately, he got married and had a wife. In the future, there will be someone to accompany him. Even if the house is empty, there will always be someone to accompany him for three meals a day and four seasons.
Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved and then sat next to him.
Mu Jingjue noticed someone beside him and opened his eyes, "Grandma, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Aren't you still awake? What's wrong? Is there something going on at the company?"
"The company is fine."
"Then why are you sitting here instead of sleeping at night?"
"It's comfortable here."
"You're lying." Grandma's voice was kind and her words were full of love. Mu Jingjue felt warm in his heart. Fortunately, he had his grandma and sister with him all the way.
"Ah Jue, how old are you this year?" Grandma asked suddenly.
In fact, she had always remembered it, but she just asked casually.
Hearing this nonsensical question, Mu Jingjue was a little confused about what his grandmother wanted to say, but he still answered, "Grandma, I'm 30 this year."
"You're 30 now, not a kid anymore. Time flies, and you're already 30. I still remember that your grandfather became a father when you were your age, and your father had you when he was also this age. And you, fortunately, got married at this age, completing the first step in your life."
Mu Jingjue listened to his grandmother's words and thought that she must be missing her grandfather and father.
"Grandma, do you miss Grandpa?"
"Why do you miss the old man? You'll have to meet him sooner or later."
"Grandma." Mu Jingjue frowned slightly. What happened to grandma tonight?
Grandma didn't want to worry her grandson, so she returned to reality from her memories and simply changed the subject, "When are you and your grandson's wife going to have a baby?"
"Grandma, there's no rush."
"You're not in a hurry, but I am. Grandma is already over seventy years old. I don't know how many more years I have left to live. It's not certain whether I can see the sun tomorrow. Grandma wants to see you get married and have children, so that she can feel at ease to see your grandfather and your parents in the future."
"Grandma, what are you talking about? You are still young and you still have to take care of my children."
Mu Jingjue grew up with his grandmother. Since his parents were away from home running business all year round, he lacked the love of his parents since childhood. His grandparents gave him the most, so he was closer to them and had a deep affection for them. After his parents passed away, it was his grandmother who accompanied him. When Mu Jingjue heard his grandmother say this, he was filled with fear. He wanted his grandmother to stay with him longer and longer.
"Miss Si is back. Do you still like her?" Grandma suddenly stared at him and asked.
"Grandma, it's impossible for me and her. I'm already married! I will live a good life with Song Ci."
"That's good. You can't let Aci down. A girl will suffer a loss if she marries you." Then he thought, if his grandson doesn't like her, then he will suffer in this life, right?
But thank God, these days, she has also realized that her grandson is not someone who dislikes his granddaughter-in-law.
She only hoped that the two of them would live a good life in the future and stop causing trouble. She just hoped that they would live a good life.
Mu Jingjue assured: "Grandma, I know."
"Grandma knows you liked Si Yutong before, and I like her too, but she's not the right one for you. If you could be together, you wouldn't be separated for all these years. You grew up together and have a deep bond, but sometimes deep bonds don't always lead to being together. Only the right two people are suited to living together. Yutong is too strong-willed, used to freedom, and doesn't like being restricted. She can't settle down for you and stay in the same city to get married and have children."
"Grandma, it's her freedom to do whatever she wants. I've never thought of getting a divorce."
"Okay, as long as you know what you want, go to bed early. Grandma is sleepy."
Mu Jingjue looked at his grandmother's staggering back, which revealed her old age, and suddenly felt a little sad. He was afraid that his grandmother would suddenly pass away one day. If that happened, he would lose another relative in this world.
He walked upstairs with the wine in his hand. His shadow was very long, revealing an extraordinary loneliness and desolation.
He stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside. It was quiet in the middle of the night, except for the warm yellow street lights and the mottled shadows of the trees falling on the ground. There was no sound at all, silence, and dead loneliness.
It seemed as if there was no life left in the world, and all that was left was the desolate night in the yard.
