Aunt Li said that the old lady was not in good health, so she asked Mu Jingsheng to go over and take care of her.
Mu Jingsheng refused directly.
He has suffered too much from the old lady's 'poor health' over the years, but it was all a ploy to make him obey.
Maybe he would have responded symbolically in the past, but now with Ye Yun's support, he has reason not to visit the old lady.
He is busy with work and his daughter is in confinement after giving birth. What's wrong with him not going to visit the old lady who is always in poor health?
The old lady's health has not been good for just one or two days. He has a heavy workload, and he has a daughter, a grandson, and a wife to take care of. Besides, he has already assigned staff to the old lady's side, so he is really too busy!
Under such circumstances, no one criticized Mu Jingsheng for not visiting the old lady.
Who would have thought that the old lady would be admitted to the hospital three days later.
When Mu Jingsheng heard the news, he could no longer hide. He could only pack up his things and take Ye Xia to the hospital to see the old lady.
In fact, the news that Old Lady Mu was hospitalized had spread in his circle, and it would be embarrassing for him if he didn't go to see her.
Lin'an is not big, and the old lady usually has many good friends. They will play cards and take walks together, and they will inevitably talk about these gossips. Most of the children of these elderly people are also well-known figures in Lin'an, so the news of the old lady's hospitalization spread in the circle as soon as possible.
Many friends also called Mu Jingsheng to ask about the old lady's health.
And their parents, who were the old lady's good friends, were not good people at all. If he didn't go to the hospital to visit the old lady, he would probably be ruined in their circle the next day.
As for what happened when Mu Jingsheng went to the hospital to visit the old lady, outsiders had no way of knowing.
All I know is that when Mu Jingsheng returned home that night, his face looked a little grim.
He came to the room to visit Ye Yun and Xiao Chuqi. He no longer had his usual smile on his face, and there was a hint of sadness between his brows.
This made Ye Yun involuntarily alert.
"What happened?" Ye Yun asked casually, but her tone was just right with a hint of concern: "You don't look well."
Mu Jingsheng was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect Ye Yun to care about him, and smiled awkwardly, "No, nothing, it's just that your grandma's condition is not very good."
"grandmother?"
When Ye Yun heard this title for the first time, she was a little unhappy, and her face showed an undisguised coldness. What qualifications did that old lady have to be her grandmother?
Old Mrs. Mu never gave anything for her, but instead caused her mother to lose her mind. She had never enjoyed the treatment of a grandchild since she was a child, and was scolded for no reason during their first conversation. How could she be qualified to be her grandmother?
Is it appropriate to ask her to call me grandma?
Seeing that Ye Yun's face was not very good, Mu Jingsheng also realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly explained: "Xiao Yun, don't be angry."
He did not feel annoyed by Ye Yun's resistance, nor did he think that Ye Yun was ignorant. He was even afraid that Ye Yun would get angry.
His mother was not friendly to Ye Yun, so it was normal for Ye Yun to resist. This time he was inconsiderate.
Ye Yun smiled faintly, without being aggressive, and said calmly: "I understand you, she is your mother after all."
Mu Jingsheng heard the coldness in her tone.
But it was not easy for Ye Yun to say such words. Before, he could not imagine that Ye Yun could talk to him calmly about the old lady's affairs.
He was grateful to Ye Yun.
After all, the old lady was the culprit who had caused their family of three to be separated for many years.
Mu Jingsheng didn't want Ye Yun to worry about him and the old lady, so he stood up and said, "Just take a good rest and take care of yourself. Dad will take care of the rest."
"Yeah?"
Ye Yun tilted her head and looked at Mu Jingsheng. She raised her lips slightly and spoke word by word: "Then I wonder what you, Dad, are going to do?"
"What?"
Mu Jingsheng sighed, sensing Ye Yun's thoughts, and explained, "Child, you are too cautious. Your grandmother has an incurable disease. You just gave birth to a child, and I don't want you to be exposed to such unlucky things."
"Cancer, huh?"
Lin Jiao on the side spoke up.
Mu Jingsheng was dumbfounded and asked in surprise: "How did you know?"
"I'm a doctor, too."
Lin Jiao glanced at Ye Yun and said to Mu Jingsheng openly, "Why do you think an outsider like me would come here with Ye Yun?"
Mu Jingsheng nodded with sudden realization.
"I won't stop you from seeing her, but I hope that next time you see her, don't bring my mother with you. She is your mother, and it is you who should respect her, not my mother."
Ye Yun spoke again.
Mu Jingsheng now understood what she meant. It turned out that she didn't want him to take Ye Xia to see the old lady.
That's easy.
Mu Jingsheng immediately made the decision, and said with a solemn face: "Don't worry, kid, I will never bring your mother to see her again. Your words reminded me, I should thank you."
He hadn't figured it out before. Why did he always want the old lady to accept Ye Xia? Why did he always want Ye Xia to be filial to the old lady with him?
Perhaps it was his upbringing that made him subconsciously believe that he had to get the old lady's consent.
Until someone says: That's just your mother.
He suddenly realized.
Old Mrs. Mu is his mother, not Ye Xia’s mother. He should acknowledge his hardships and be filial to them. Why should he let Ye Xia live with her?
The old lady didn't give birth to Ye Xia, so even if she wanted to fulfill her filial duty, it would not be Ye Xia's turn.
Just then Ye Xia hurried into the room, holding a palm-sized snowball in her hand, and said with an excited smile: "Xiao Yun, look, it's snowing!"
Snowflakes fell heavily last night, and in the early morning they had accumulated to a thickness of two fingers.
Ye Xia's hands were red from the cold. The snowball in her hand was in the shape of a little duck. No one knew how she made it. Knowing that Ye Yun couldn't go out to see the snow, she happily brought it into the house to show Ye Yun.
The room was warmer, and the snowballs melted and began to drip.
The ice and snow that had previously stuck to her body gradually melted, soaking her clothes and making Ye Xia look a little sloppy.
Mu Jingsheng quickly stood up and took a towel, took the duck from Ye Xia's hands, wiped the water stains on her hands and body, put his arm around her shoulders and coaxed her softly, "Xiao Xia, our daughter is in confinement now, she can't touch this thing."
Ye Xia smiled shyly, "No, I'll hold it, I won't let my daughter touch it..."
After saying that, she snatched the little duck from Mu Jingsheng's hands and handed it back to Ye Yun, with the most gentle smile on her face.
Feeling the duckling begin to melt, she panicked and scrunched her face in confusion.
The tone was also a little sad: "It's broken, it's broken..."
