When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked into Bernie's shop, Dazzle, they saw Bernie arguing with someone, and the person he was arguing with was familiar to both of them. He was their family doctor, Liang Du!
Then Bernie shook off Liang Du's hand, and shouted with a painful and struggling expression,
"Stop talking. You know it will be fruitless, so what's the point of talking about it?"
“But if you don’t try it, you’ll know it’s meaningless!”
Liang Du had always been calm, even his somewhat plain face was now full of pain, but there was a hint of pleading in his tone.
His eyes were fixed on Bernie in front of him, hoping that he would agree.
"I remember my uncle was discharged from the hospital not long ago. Are you trying to make him angry again?"
As soon as these words came out, Liang Du's expression visibly froze. Obviously this was not what he wanted to see.
"I······"
He opened his mouth, but he seemed not as confident as before.
This reaction was also what Bernie had expected.
He also knew that Liang Du could not avoid what he mentioned, and he could not ignore it. After all, when he was a child, Uncle Liang treated him as his own son and loved him.
He softened his tone, but to be more specific, he said to Liang Du as if he was accepting his fate and accepting the reality,
"It's pretty good like this. At least I'm living a pretty free life now. I can do what I like and how long I want to do it all depends on my mood. It's not much better than being restricted before!"
Bernie spoke briskly, but Liang Du’s brows furrowed more and more.
"Achi, you can deceive others but you can't deceive me. Ask yourself, are you really that happy?"
Ah Chi, whose nickname is Lu Chi, is also Bernie’s Chinese name. Liang Du likes to call him this, and it’s what he called him since he was a child.
But now every time I say this name, my heart can't help but throb.
"Liang Du, do you really want to make everything clear? Do you really want to see my painful side?"
Bernie, who had just felt relieved a little bit, now felt cold again. He didn't want to say anything more, because talking more would be useless and fruitless.
"Go away. You are not welcome here. Besides, I have made an appointment with Mrs. Gu to come over and try on dresses. I think I should come..."
Originally I wanted to say that we should have arrived, but when I looked towards the door, I saw that Mrs. Gu had already arrived, and Mrs. Gu had also arrived.
"Mrs. Gu?"
The voice was full of surprise, but more of it was panic. He glanced over there, and then quickly glanced at Liang Du in front of him.
Liang Du also turned around quickly at the sound of 'Mrs. Gu', the surprise and panic in his eyes were exactly the same as Bernie's.
Bernie pushed Liang Du from behind and said to him in a voice that only the two of them could hear,
"Let's go!"
Then he passed him and walked to Mrs. Gu and Li Muhan with a smile on his face.
"Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu, you are here. I have selected several dresses for you. Now come with me to take a look!"
Li Muhan didn't say anything, nor did he look at Liang Du over there, but when he saw Bernie, who was smiling flawlessly at this moment, he felt a secret admiration in his heart.
Her expression changed. If Dr. Liang hadn't been there, she would have thought that everything she just saw was an illusion.
At this moment, she was just waiting for her mother-in-law beside her, Mrs. Gu, to speak.
Fortunately, Mrs. Gu didn’t say anything else, but followed Bernie’s wishes and replied,
"Your vision has always been undisputed. We all trust you, so let's go and take a look now!"
After speaking to Bernie, he said to Li Muhan next to him,
"Mu Han, let's go!"
Li Muhan responded, then followed Mrs. Gu and followed Bernie towards the clothing area.
But this would inevitably lead to him facing Liang Du in front of him.
At this moment, Liang Du returned to his usual state. The shock and panic just now seemed to be an illusion. When he saw them coming, he immediately said hello.
"Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu!"
"I haven't seen you for a while, Dr. Liang. How are you doing?"
Mrs. Gu was chatting as usual, with the look of an elder looking at a junior on her face.
Speaking of which, Dr. Liang is only two years older than Yan'er. In the past, his father was the family doctor of their Gu family.
Later, his father's health declined, so Liang Du inherited his father's legacy and took over the job.
It only happened in the past few years, but this child is very dedicated and has excellent medical skills, which makes them feel at ease and cares about him as much as he treats his own children.
"Mrs. Thank you for your attention. Very good. I still have something to do in the courtyard, so I'll leave now. I'll visit my house when I have time!"
"OK!"
"By the way, I will go to my house on Wednesday for a routine check-up!"
"I'll tell them, just go on time!"
Every once in a while, Liang Du would go to the old house to check on the two elderly people, in order to observe their physical conditions at any time.
This time Liang Du walked away, but after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back at Bernie, but the other party had already guided Mrs. Gu and the others into the clothing area, and all he saw was a back figure.
Without staying any longer, I completely turned around and left here this time, feeling completely opposite to the regret I had when I came.
But what he didn't know was that the moment he walked out of the store, after Bernie introduced Mrs. Gu and Li Muhan inside, he took advantage of the opportunity of being in a different body to look at him deeply, with a touch of bitterness on the corner of his mouth, but But there was an unbreakable attachment in his eyes.
Thinking about it, the two hadn't seen each other for more than two months, but unexpectedly, they still ended up in a quarrel.
This is what none of them want, but it is an inevitable result!
Bernie withdrew his gaze, put away his thoughts and bad emotions, put a smile on his face, and introduced and displayed the dress he had selected to Li Muhan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
When Li Muhan was trying on the dress, his mind naturally thought of the conversation between the two people just now. It was a completely unexpected situation!
However, she can still accept this situation, but she has never encountered it in her life before, so it was mostly an accident.
But depending on the situation, the two of them should be together for family reasons.
"Mu Han, are you ready to try it?"
Mrs. Gu's voice came from outside the fitting room, interrupting Li Muhan's thoughts.
"alright!"
While answering loudly, he lifted up his skirt and walked out.
This was the second dress that Li Muhan tried on, and this one was obviously more eye-catching. Mrs. Gu and Bernie were both stunned at the same time, and said in unison,
"That's it!"
Li Muhan turned around and looked at herself in the mirror. The outfit she was wearing at the moment was a very simple one-shoulder white dress. The highlight was the rose flower pattern embellished on the skirt.
The bottom of the white skirt is set against the blossoming red roses, which really makes it feel like a fairy.
It's really amazing,
"Then let's do this!"
Mrs. Gu chose a long purple cheongsam, which made the whole person more elegant and noble.
"Bernie, your taste is as good as ever!"
Mrs. Gu praised Bernie with great satisfaction.
"It mainly depends on Mrs. Gu's trust!"
Since I made an appointment for styling later, I didn’t stay here long, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left from here.
After they left, Bernie closed the store directly and was not going to open any more. The smile on his face disappeared completely and he slumped on the sofa.
Looking at the empty shop where he was the only one, and then thinking about Liang Du's lonely back when he left, his heart was overwhelmed by waves of loneliness and pain.
"A'Du, what should we do?"
I am unwilling to give in, but there is no better solution. I feel that no matter what I choose, it is a dead end.
The most important thing is that they cannot make a desperate move, let alone only care about themselves.

······ ······
Mrs. Zhong’s birthday party started at two o’clock in the afternoon. When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished styling and rushed over, the time was just right!
The birthday party was held at Mrs. Zhong's home. The large living room was carefully decorated. The ladies who were invited to attend, as well as their daughters and daughters-in-law, were sending their blessings to today's protagonist, Mrs. Zhong, one by one.
Mrs. Gu and Li Muhan also came over, led by the housekeeper who was waiting at the door to greet them.
Mrs. Zhong, who was surrounded by the crowd, saw her best friend with keen eyes, and immediately came over to meet her. When she got close, she held Mrs. Gu's hand.
"You're finally here!"
The level of surprise on his face shows that he has been looking forward to it!
"There's a bit of traffic on the road!"
When she saw her friend, Mrs. Gu's face also had an expression of joy that she didn't usually see often.
Mrs. Zhong then turned her gaze to Li Muhan, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.
"This is your wife!"
As he spoke, he looked at it carefully.
Over there, the rest of the people followed Mrs. Zhong and originally looked here. Mrs. Gu and the others knew each other, but the young Mrs. Gu next to them had only seen it on the news.
At this moment, everyone, like Mrs. Zhong, looked at it curiously. This was a real person, but she was really surprised at the first sight!
When Mrs. Gu saw Mrs. Zhong mentioning Li Muhan, she hurriedly pulled Li Muhan over and introduced her proudly,
"This is our Mu Han, a very good child!"
Then he said to Li Muhan,
"Mu Han, my name is Aunt Huiling!"
"Aunt Huiling!"
Li Muhan shouted obediently as he was told, with a decent smile on his face and appropriate manners, without overly trying to please others.
Mrs. Zhong, whose real name was Yuan Huiling, was very satisfied when she saw this.
"It's a good one, no wonder you always praise it!"
When Li Muhan heard this, he was surprised at first, but soon his cheeks turned red. It turned out that his mother liked him so much and often praised him with his friends.
Her heart was warm and at the same time she was very touched. Although she rarely went to the old house, the love and care of the three elders for her was clearly visible to all.
Grandma's concern was more obvious, she could feel it, but this mother-in-law usually spoke very little. She knew that she was satisfied with her, but she didn't expect that she would be satisfied to this extent.
This kind of love and satisfaction was something she never got in her previous life after working hard for so many years. Thinking about it, she was really sad!
At this time, the other guests behind him also gathered around, first greeted Mrs. Gu, and then more or less praised Li Muhan next to her. How much was true and how false was unknown!
Li Muhan greeted them one after another under the guidance, and simply agreed with them, which was just right.
Everyone has somewhat changed their minds about Mrs. Gu. Although she is very young, she is not that simple and easy to fool. She is shrewd and thoughtful.
They just said, how could a family like the Gu family find someone who was clumsy or unreasonable to be the head matron.
Just when everyone was chatting happily and began to ask Mrs. Zhong if there was anything special for today's birthday party, three more guests were welcomed into the living room. When Li Muhan saw the face of the visitor, his face was filled with frost in an instant!
