Aunt Li said that the old lady was not in good health and asked Mu Jingsheng to go over and take care of her.
Mu Jingsheng refused directly.
Over the years, he has suffered too many losses from the old lady's "poor health", but they were all tricks to get him to obey.
Maybe he would have responded symbolically before, but now that Ye Yun was backing him up, he had a reason not to visit the old lady.
He is busy with work and his daughter is in confinement. Why doesn't he go to see the old lady who is always in poor health?
The old lady is not in good health for a day or two. He has a heavy workload, has a daughter, a grandson, and a lover to take care of. Besides, he has already equipped the old lady with manpower, so she is really busy!
Under such circumstances, Mu Jingsheng did not visit the old lady and no one criticized him.
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 carry his things and take Ye Xia to the hospital to see the old lady.
In fact, the news that Mrs. Mu was hospitalized had spread among his circle, and it would not look good on him if he didn't go and see her.
Lin'an is not a big place, so the old lady usually has a lot of friends, they would play cards and walk together, and they would inevitably talk about these gossips, and most of the children of these old people are famous people in Lin'an, so the news of the old lady was in the circle as soon as she was hospitalized. spread.
Many friends also called Mu Jingsheng specifically to check on the old lady's health.
And their parents, that is, the old lady's friends, are all not good. If he doesn't go to the hospital to visit the old lady, he will 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 have no way of knowing.
All I know is that after Mu Jingsheng came home that night, his face looked a little ugly.
When he came to visit Ye Yun and Xiao Chuqi in the room, he no longer had his usual smile, and there was a trace of sadness between his eyebrows.
This made Ye Yun couldn't help but be wary.
"What happened?" Ye Yun asked pretending to be casual, but her tone was just right with a hint of concern: "Look at you, you don't look good."
Mu Jingsheng was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect Ye Yun to care about him, and smiled awkwardly, "No, it's nothing, it's just that your grandma's condition is not very good."
"grandmother?"
Ye Yun was a little unhappy when she suddenly heard this title, and her face was unabashedly cold. What qualifications did that old lady have to be her grandmother?
Old Mrs. Mu has never given anything for her, but it has caused her mother to lose her mind. She has never enjoyed the treatment of grandchildren since she was a child, and she was scolded for no reason in the first conversation. What qualifications do she have to be her? grandmother?
Is it worthy to ask her to call her grandma?
Seeing that Ye Yun's expression was not good, Mu Jingsheng noticed that he had made a mistake and quickly explained: "Xiaoyun, don't be angry."
He didn't feel irritated by Ye Yun's resistance. He felt that Ye Yun was ignorant. He was even afraid that Ye Yun would be angry.
His mother was not friendly to Ye Yun, and it was normal for Ye Yun to be resistant. This time it was his lack of consideration.
Ye Yun smiled faintly, not aggressively, but 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 couldn't imagine that Ye Yun could talk to him calmly about the old lady.
He was grateful to Ye Yun.
After all, the old lady was the culprit who separated their family of three for many years.
Mu Jingsheng didn't want Ye Yun to worry about him and the old lady. He stood up and said, "Just have a good rest and take care of yourself. Dad will take care of the rest."
"Yeah?"
Ye Yun tilted her head, looked at Mu Jingsheng, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and said word by word: "Then what are you going to do, Dad?"
"What?"
Mu Jingsheng sighed, aware of Ye Yun's thoughts, and explained: "My child, you are too cautious. Your grandma has an incurable disease. You have just given birth. I don't want you to be exposed to such an unlucky thing."
"Cancer, right?"
Lin Jiao on the side spoke up.
Mu Jingsheng was stunned and asked in surprise: "How do you know?"
"I am also a doctor."
Lin Jiao glanced at Ye Yun and said to Mu Jingsheng openly: "Otherwise, why do you think I, an outsider, would come with Ye Yun?"
Mu Jingsheng nodded in realization.
"I won't stop you from seeing her, but I hope you won't bring my mother with you the next time you see her. She is your mother, and it is you who should honor 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 to say.
Mu Jingsheng immediately agreed and said with a solemn face: "My child, don't worry, I will never take your mother to see her again in the future. Your words reminded me that I should thank you."
He didn't realize it 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?
It was probably 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.
It dawned on him.
Mrs. Mu is his mother, not Ye Xia's mother. His suffering and his filial piety should be recognized. Why should Ye Xia follow her?
The old lady did not give birth to Ye Xia, so even if she wanted to fulfill her filial piety, it would not be Ye Xia's turn.
Just at this time, Ye Xia hurried into the room, holding a palm-sized snowball in her hand, and said with an excited smile: "Xiaoyun, look, it's snowing!"
Snowflakes fell freely last night, and they accumulated two fingers thick in one morning.
Ye Xia's hands were red from the cold. The snowball in her hand was in the shape of a little duck. She didn't know how she made it. Knowing that Ye Yun couldn't go out to see the snow, she happily brought it inside to show it to Ye Yun.
It was warmer in the house, and the snowballs melted and began to drip water.
The ice and snow that had been stained on her body gradually melted, soaking her clothes, making Ye Xia look a little sloppy.
Mu Jingsheng quickly stood up and took the towel, took the little duck from Ye Xia's hand, wiped the water stains on her hands, and then wiped the stains on her body, put his arm around her shoulders and coaxed softly: "Xiaoxia, Our daughter is in confinement now and cannot touch this thing."
Ye Xia smiled shyly, "No, I'll hold it and don't let the little girl touch it..."
After saying that, she snatched the little duck away from Mu Jingsheng and handed it to Ye Yun again, with the gentlest smile on her face.
Feeling the little duck gradually begin to melt, she panicked and wrinkled her face in confusion.
The tone was also a bit sad: "It's broken, it's broken..."
