Chapter 329 Recitation and Father Mu?
"Mom, let's go to the studio this afternoon, and check on how the preparations for the new company are going..."
Song Chi and Cheng Shu spent the whole morning shopping and finally bought the dresses they wanted. Carrying their shopping bags, they happily walked back home.
Cheng Shu smiled and said, "Okay, but daughter-in-law, you're pregnant, you can't overexert yourself."
"How about we go out for lunch, then you can go back and take a good nap before going to the studio?"
Song Chi smiled and said, "Okay!"
The two walked hand in hand to a nearby restaurant for a meal.
Normally, it's Mu Yin who accompanies Song Chi, but today it's her mother-in-law who's with her, yet she's just as attentive and gentle as her uncle.
Song Chi felt warmth whenever he was with Cheng Shu.
The two were waiting for their food at the restaurant.
Cheng Shu was on the phone with Muf.
Without knowing what the other person said, Cheng Shu glanced at Song Chi and said something.
"I see."
When Song Chi saw her mother-in-law staring at her, she knew that she had something to say.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"Daughter-in-law, your father just called and said that your grandfather's 70th birthday is the day after tomorrow. You and Ayin should come to the birthday banquet!"
Song Chi nodded hurriedly: "Okay!"
She had never met Mu Yin's grandfather before, and was very nervous about meeting him.
And the first time we met was at his birthday party.
Song Chi pondered, "Mom, what does Grandpa like? I want to give him a gift he'll appreciate."
Cheng Shu smiled and said, "Silly child, your grandfather is already very happy that you can go. You don't need to bring a gift!"
Song Chi: "...Mom, that's true, but I can't really go to an elder's birthday party empty-handed, it would be very impolite."
Cheng Shu looked at her with eyes full of admiration.
“Daughter-in-law, alright then. Your grandfather is getting old and likes refined things, such as tea, calligraphy and paintings, ancient paintings, and so on…”
Song Chi listened attentively while taking notes.
"Mom, I've got it. I'll think about it and make sure to bring Grandpa a thoughtful gift."
Cheng Shu said with a face full of praise, "Daughter-in-law, no matter what gift you give, your grandfather will definitely like it."
Song Chi knew that she was trying to comfort her, and a warm feeling immediately washed over him.
She was about to take out her phone to look for suitable gifts.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a familiar face out of the corner of her eye.
As soon as Nianbai entered the shop, his eyes fell on her. He looked surprised, then smiled and walked towards her.
"Miss Song, what a coincidence, you're here to eat too?"
"Uh...what a coincidence!"
The two smiled politely.
During their conversation, Cheng Shu looked the man up and down, recognized him, and her eyes lit up with surprise.
"Miss Song, I'm so sorry that I caused you to fall into the water while fishing last time. I heard you were hospitalized afterwards..."
I originally went to the hospital to visit you and apologize to you and Brother Mu in person, but I didn't expect you to be discharged.
Are you truly fully recovered? Do you need any further tests? I'm willing to cover all medical expenses…
Nianbai looked apologetic, yet also very sincere.
"Mr. Nianbai, thank you for your concern. I'm really fine now, and I don't need any more tests."
Nianbai sighed deeply: "I'm so sorry..."
Song Chi: "..."
She felt awkward because of his politeness.
Cheng Shu glanced at Song Chi, then at Nian Bai.
"Young man, it's you..."
Nianbai looked at her upon hearing the sound, his face full of confusion.
"And you are?"
"Tsk, don't you remember me? Last time someone tried to extort money from me at the gate, you were the one who helped me out..."
Nianbai belatedly realized, "Oh, it's you... you guys..."
He looked surprised again, as if they knew each other.
Cheng Shu smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that you know my son and daughter-in-law."
"What a coincidence! Let's sit down and have lunch together!"
Nianbai looked at Song Chi.
"Miss Song, is that alright?"
Song Chi nodded politely: "Of course."
Nianbai smiled and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."
He chose a seat opposite Song Chi, which was next to Cheng Shu.
Song Chi and Nian Bai didn't have much to talk about, but Cheng Shu seemed very interested in him and kept chatting with him.
He was very polite and tactful in his conversations, and occasionally quite humorous, which made Cheng Shu laugh out loud.
He always gives people a very comfortable feeling.
Song Chi secretly observed him. Although he found him very polite, she felt there was something mysterious about him, and he seemed very familiar...
Cheng Shu suddenly said, "Nianbai, you look a lot like someone..."
Nianbai was slightly taken aback: "Who is it?"
Cheng Shu racked her brains, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out who the narrator resembled.
Song Chi nodded secretly.
That's right, she also felt that Nianbai resembled someone, but she just couldn't remember who it was for the moment!
Both of them fell into deep thought.
Nianbai smiled and said, "No matter who I look like, it only proves that I am destined to be with him. Don't you think so?"
Song Chi and Cheng Shu exchanged a glance.
Cheng Shu: "Hehe, yes, yes, yes."
Suddenly, her phone rang.
"Excuse me, I need to take this call."
Cheng Shu went to answer the phone.
Song Chi and Nianbai exchanged a glance, their expressions polite yet distant.
"Miss Song, Brother Mu didn't accompany you today?"
"Yes, he went to work."
"That's right, you're pregnant, and he has to support the family, so he has to go to work and earn money!"
Song Chi asked with a hint of gossip, "Mr. Nianbai, speaking of work, I'm curious, what do you do for a living?"
Nianbai lowered his head, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Journalists".
"reporter?"
Nianbai smiled slightly, a smile that held a hint of mystery.
I guess so!
Is that considered?
Song Chi felt even more strongly that Nian Bai was shrouded in mystery!
After finishing the call, Cheng Shu said, "Daughter-in-law, your dad just called me and said he's coming to pick us up."
Suddenly, Nianbai froze, his eyes flashing with a complex mix of emotions.
Unfortunately, neither Song Chi nor Cheng Shu noticed his expression.
"Mom, when is Dad coming?"
"They're already waiting for us at the door. Have you finished eating?"
"I'm done eating."
"Let's go then!"
Cheng Shu got up and carefully took Song Chi's hand, afraid that she might bump into something.
Cheng Shu: "Nianbai, let's meet again next time!"
After a moment of stunned silence, she came to her senses.
"Uh... I'll take you."
"Oh, no need to be so polite. It's not far, no need to see me off."
Nianbai smiled brightly: "Let me see you off, let's go!"
Song Chi: "..."
Cheng Shu: "..."
For some reason, they found his smile terrifying!
The two of them thought, without prior agreement, that they were probably overthinking it.
The three of them then walked together to the front door.
A luxury car was parked at the gate, and Mu's father was waiting for his wife and daughter-in-law next to the car.
Cheng Shu called out sweetly, "Husband~"
Although the two are getting older, their relationship remains as good as ever, and they are very affectionate in their daily lives.
The way she called him "husband" made her sound like a young girl in love, which was truly enviable.
Beside him, Song Chi couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, looking like he was watching the drama unfold online.
Father Mu walked toward them.
"Wife, daughter-in-law, have you finished eating?"
Cheng Shu nodded: "I'm done eating."
Song Chi nodded as well.
"Let's go, I'll take you back to rest!"
"good!"
He led the two to the luxury car, and Cheng Shu suddenly remembered something and looked at Nian Bai.
"Nianbai, thank you for taking us home, let's go back!"
She waved at him.
Narrator/Standing expressionless, his gaze deep and complex.
Upon hearing this, Mu's father glanced at Nianbai, and for some reason, he suddenly froze.
Mu's father and Nianbai locked eyes, their gazes shifting rapidly...
Song Chi glanced at Mu's father, then at Nianbai.
Her pupils widened in surprise as she discovered something she had never understood before…
Cheng Shu did not notice anything unusual about the three of them.
"Honey, what are you standing there for? Let's go!"
"Okay!"
Father Mu did not read the narration; the group got into the car and left.
Sitting in the car, Song Chi had a certain thought in his mind, but felt somewhat bewildered...
It's definitely not what she thinks, otherwise, how could her husband possibly accept it...?
The car sped away!
Narrator remained standing there, his gaze gradually shifting from calm to madness...
