Chapter 380: Can he really brag and also be good at martial arts?
Uncle Wang asked Xiao Nuan to come, so Ye Chen naturally had to ask Mu Yuting for his opinion.
He and Mu Yuting looked at each other, and Mu Yuting shook his head indifferently.
Ye Chen understood and was thinking about how to work with Uncle Wang when there was a knock on the door.
Ye Chen's heart tightened, thinking that reporters were chasing him, and he opened the door vigilantly.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Ye Chen asked in a low voice in surprise.
Xiao Nuan explained, "Ze Yan told me that you and Uncle Wang were here. He was in a hurry to perform an operation, so he asked me to come here by myself."
Mu Yuting looked in the direction of the voice and met Xiao Nuan's eyes.
Without asking, he guessed that Xiao Nuan must have seen the video online.
Without waiting for Xiao Nuan to come in, Mu Yuting walked out quickly, pulled Xiao Nuan aside, and gently ordered,
"Be obedient and go back to work. No matter what happens, don't get involved. The reporters are all in the hospital. If you want to hear what Uncle Wang has to say, wait until I've dealt with this matter before you come."
Xiao Nuan knew that Mu Yuting was protecting her. She smiled and shook Mu Yuting's arm and said coquettishly,
"Yu Ting, just let me give it a try. What if I can persuade Master Wang?"
There's no point in acting coquettishly, this is no joke.
Mu Yuting pushed Xiao Nuan against the wall and whispered softly, "Wife, you can act like a spoiled child when you get home. Now is not the time to be a hero."
Before Xiao Nuan could say anything, Uncle Wang shouted from inside, "Where did that guy take Xiao Nuan just now? If you dare to hurt Miss Xiao Nuan, I will fight you."
Uncle Wang saw Xiao Nuan being pulled away by Mu Yuting as soon as she stood at the door. He thought Mu Yuting had bad intentions.
Hearing Uncle Wang's shout, Xiao Nuan raised her chin towards Mu Yuting and said, "Look, if you don't let me in, Uncle Wang will fight you to the death."
Mu Yuting was speechless. Uncle Wang thought he was a pervert.
Xiao Nuan and Mu Yuting walked into the ward together. Uncle Wang asked nervously, "Child, he didn't hurt you, did he?"
Xiao Nuan said with a smile, "No, Uncle Wang, even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare. Besides, he can't beat me."
Xiao Nuan said this with great confidence.
Ye Chen on the side laughed secretly: Mu Yuting, Mu Yuting, look at your family status, which is firmly controlled by your sister-in-law. You will know how powerful you are in front of me.
Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment after hearing Xiao Nuan's words, and then looked at Mu Yuting.
This young man looks energetic and in good health, not like a sickly person. How could he be defeated by a girl?
Uncle Wang asked Xiao Nuan in confusion, "Child, so you know martial arts?"
I’m impressed by Uncle Wang’s amazing train of thought.
Xiao Nuan stifled a laugh and spoke in a serious tone, "Yes, Uncle Wang, I know martial arts. I'm quite good at it. I've even learned a few grappling techniques specifically for dealing with bad guys like that."
When he said the word "bad guy", he looked at Mu Yuting meaningfully.
Mu Yuting rolled his eyes at her. "You're such a boaster, not even blushing! You even know martial arts? I bully you every night and you beg for mercy, but I've never seen you do any martial arts?"
Go ahead and brag, why don’t you say you can fly over rooftops and walk on walls?
If he really knew martial arts, would he have been pushed down by Wang Qiang on the roof that day?
However, Uncle Wang is old and confused, and he actually believes that Xiao Nuan knows martial arts.
"Girls, it's good to learn some kung fu to protect yourself." Grandpa Wang suddenly felt a little sad. "It would be great if my granddaughter learned some kung fu when she was young. Those human traffickers wouldn't be able to trick her away so easily."
Xiao Nuan quickly changed the subject, "Uncle Wang, I see you look much better today. Are you feeling unwell?"
In fact, Xiao Nuan and Mu Yuting had visited Grandpa Wang several times together, but Grandpa Wang was always in a bad mood and didn't want to see anyone. This was the last time they saw Grandpa Wang.
Uncle Wang said that he was feeling much better now and that the doctors and nurses had taken very good care of him these past few days. However, he felt a little upset whenever he thought of his bastard son.
Xiao Nuan persuaded Uncle Wang for a long time before Uncle Wang's mood calmed down a little.
Seeing that Uncle Wang was in a good mood, Ye Chen took the opportunity to say, "Uncle Wang, Xiao Nuan is here. Can you talk to us? The online incident of someone jumping off a building is making a lot of noise. Please come forward to clarify the matter first, and then we can discuss the demolition."
This time Ye Chen did not call her sister-in-law. At the critical moment, he was still very sensible.
Uncle Wang sighed, was silent for a moment, and then said, "I want to say a few words to Xiao Nuan."
Xiao Nuan signaled Mu Yuting and Ye Chen to go out first. Although they were reluctant, they obeyed.
After they left, Xiao Nuan moved a high stool, sat beside the bed, and asked cautiously,
"Uncle Wang, are you worried that if you come forward to clarify, your relatives, friends, and neighbors will say that you two are colluding to extort money from the Mu Group, and you'll lose face if this gets out?"
Uncle Wang nodded in shame.
"Son, I know I followed that beastly son and did something foolish, but family disgrace should not be made public. I'm old now and can't afford to lose face."
Uncle Wang said this with tears streaming down his face.
"I know it's selfish of me to think this way, but at my age, I won't live for many days. This is the only thing I've done wrong in my life, so let it be."
Xiao Nuan understood that Uncle Wang, who had lived an upright life, was afraid of being scolded, of being despised by his relatives, friends, and neighbors, and that when he died, there would be no one to see him off.
He didn't have the courage to take responsibility for this mistake.
Xiao Nuan felt uncomfortable. She took out two pieces of paper and handed them over, saying slowly,
"Uncle Wang, I understand your perspective, but if you leave this situation to the hands of the Mu Group, can you really live with it? I was on the rooftop at the time and witnessed the entire process. I'm speaking from an objective perspective, so please don't be angry. The Mu Group shouldn't bear this blame.
The jumping incident has put pressure on the Mu Group. Some people in the comment section have started organizing people to go to the Mu Group to cause trouble. You don't know the power of the Internet. If this continues, the consequences will be disastrous. It is very likely that the entire company will be ruined. The thousands of employees in the Mu Group represent thousands of families. They are also working honestly to earn money to support their families. What have they done wrong? What has their boss done wrong?
Uncle Wang fell silent again.
Xiao Nuan continued, "Uncle Wang, I know you've been honest your whole life. This time, you cooperated with your son because you felt guilty about your granddaughter's disappearance. It's not your fault. Everyone has their own mistakes."
"As for the elderly neighbors, they are all very kind people who have known you for a long time. When you broke your arm, they all offered to help you financially and physically, which shows their appreciation for your character. I believe that even if your relatives, friends, and neighbors knew about this, they would understand your difficulties.
Uncle Wang remained silent and never dared to look up at Xiao Nuan.
Everything that needed to be said had been said. Since Uncle Wang didn't express his opinion, Xiao Nuan didn't force it anymore. After all, everyone has their own ideas.
She took out an orange from the fruits she brought, peeled it, and handed it to Uncle Wang.
"Uncle Wang, your favorite oranges are not sour at all. Come and try them."
Uncle Wang looked at the orange in his hand with a confused look in his eyes. If Xiao Nuan had not rushed to the roof to save him regardless of danger, he would have been forced to jump off the building by his son.
Now he still cares about his face and puts the blame on the Mu Group.
How could he be so selfish?
Although he was poor, he never did anything against his conscience in his life.
At this moment, he even looked down on himself.
A few seconds later, Uncle Wang looked at Xiao Nuan, his cloudy eyes showing a hint of determination.
"Son, I'll go and clarify."
“…” Xiao Nuan was stunned for a moment.
Uncle Wang seemed to have figured it out instantly.
"Kid, if you do something wrong, you must admit it. I may be old, but that's no excuse to avoid making mistakes. I've never done anything against my conscience in my life. If I really go against my conscience and blame this on the Mu Group, my conscience will condemn me, and I will never close my eyes even in death."
After saying that, Uncle Wang sighed and felt much more relaxed.
In fact, it only takes a moment for people to let go of their obsessions.
Besides, Uncle Wang is not a bad person.
He put a slice of orange in his mouth, a smile on his kind face, "This orange is really sweet."
That smile is buried in the wrinkles of vicissitudes of life, simple and indifferent.
Xiao Nuan felt relieved and playfully gave Uncle Wang a thumbs-up, "Uncle Wang hasn't changed at all, he's still the same Uncle Wang."
