Chapter 19:
The sky gradually darkened.
In the dining room, only Mu Yao and Mu Xiaoxue were eating, and Mu Wanhai took He Xiumei to the banquet, but hadn't come back yet.
"Xiaoyao, I heard that you have changed classes. What do you think, can you adapt?" Mu Xiaoxue asked. Mu Yao's previous grades were not good, and her father bought the degree for her admission to S University, so she It is obvious that he has worked hard to successfully change his major by relying on the exam.
"Very good." The people in the class are very enthusiastic and lovely.
"That's good. By the way, next Sunday is Jiang Yan's birthday, and I'll take you there to play." Since the last time I knew that those cherries were given to Mu Yao by Jiang's family, Mu Xiaoxue faced this The younger sister was more or less embarrassed and guilty. After all, she mistakenly thought it was her fan who sent it to her.
"Well, Grandpa Jiang just called and asked me to go over for dinner."
"Grandpa Jiang asked you to come over for dinner on Sunday?" Mu Xiaoxue didn't expect that Grandpa Jiang had already informed Mu Yao, "Grandpa Jiang really loves you."
Mr. Jiang is a wise and powerful person, and she has tried to get in touch with this old man, but Mr. Jiang's attitude towards her is always indifferent. His shrewd eyes seem to be able to see through people, so she will be jealous of this old man.
However, Mr. Jiang loves Mu Yao very much. During this time, the Jiang family sent a box of cherries over every day. The housekeeper checked and found that the cherries were picked fresh from abroad, and they were sent over by special plane immediately to ensure the freshness of the cherries.
Now that old man Jiang asked Mu Yao to have dinner on Jiang Yan's birthday, does he still want to match Jiang Yan and Mu Yao?
Mu Xiaoxue suppressed the various thoughts roiling in her mind, and said with a smile: "Then Xiaoyao, what birthday gift are you going to give Jiang Yan?"
"Birthday present? I have no plans."
Although she knew that the day of dinner was Jiang Yan's birthday, Mu Yao never thought of giving Jiang Yan a birthday present at all. After all, according to how much Jiang Yan hated her, even if she gave her a gift, it would make him unhappy.
Most importantly, she has no money, is poor, and doesn't want to waste money.
In the room, when he opened his eyes again, Jiang Yan had already worn the dog.
He got up and found that the small quilt he was lying on had been replaced. Did Mu Yao find the blood on the previous quilt?
Rarely, a hint of shame flashed in the round dog's eyes, and the dog's face was slightly hot.
Jiang Yan gritted his dog's teeth, anyway, it was the nosebleed from that stupid dog and had nothing to do with him!
At this time, Mu Yao walked in, and she saw Jiang lying lazily on the small quilt, her eyes were wide open, very cute.
Mu Yao picked up the little thing, "Is **** waiting for me to feed it?"
She found out that the taste of this little thing is changeable. During the day, he likes to eat dog food with ham sausage. For dinner, he only likes to eat beef jerky. He doesn't touch dog food at all, and he is very picky.
Mu Yao took out the newly bought beef jerky, tore it apart bit by bit, and fed it into Jiang's mouth.
Jiang Yan was hugged by Mu Yao, her arms were warm and soft, and she smelled like a girl. Suddenly, her chest, which had been blocked for an afternoon, felt a lot better, that stuffy and sour feeling of strangeness gradually fade away.
"Do you still want to eat ginger?" Mu Yao asked softly into the little thing's right ear.
Mu Yao's voice was already very nice, soft and gentle, especially when she lowered her voice, it fell into Jiang Yan's right ear, with a touch of kissiness, and the warm and fragrant breath fell on the tip of the ear , Jiang Yan directly froze the dog's body.
He is both ashamed and annoyed, this stupid dog's body is too easily influenced by Mu Yao!
…
In the past few days, Chen Qinghui discovered that Jiang Yan had been in low pressure.
He also spoke carefully, lest he provoke Jiang Yan and get beaten.
"Brother Yan, what birthday gift do you want?" Chen Qinghui was most worried about this question, after all, people like them lacked everything.
"casual."
Jiang Yan's expression was cold, with his handsome eyebrows, he was extremely handsome, but people dared not approach him.
Because of Mu Yao's transfer, Jiang Yan couldn't find a chance to get close to Mu Yao. He was kind to Mu Yao, and now his time to return to adulthood in the morning has been stuck at around 6:30.
As for sending cherries to Mu Yao, he found that it didn't work.
"Is there any way to be aboveboard and have a chance to treat another person well." Jiang Yan said suddenly.
Chen Qinghui's hands trembled while playing the game, and he didn't care about saving his teammates. He raised his head in surprise, "Brother Yan, have you fallen in love with someone?"
Jiang Yan looked at him with dark eyes.
Chen Qinghui didn't dare to tease him anymore, "It's very easy. According to what you said, it's okay to become boyfriend and girlfriend, or not? Love treats each other as well as it does."
Jiang Yan sneered: "Boyfriend and boyfriend?"
Him and Mu Yao? Absolutely impossible.
Chen Qinghui touched his chest, "I'm just talking casually."
On Sunday, when Mu Yao came down, Mu Xiaoxue was already sitting in the car.
She obviously put a lot of thought into dressing up today, with exquisite makeup on her face, a white suit skirt on her body, and a pair of boots on her feet, which looks good and foreign. There was a beautiful gift bag beside her, obviously a gift for Jiang Yan.
"Xiaoyao, you're here." Mu Xiaoxue signaled the driver to drive.
"Are you holding a gift for Jiang Yan?" Mu Xiaoxue's eyes flashed a strange color. Earlier, Mu Yao said that she would not prepare a gift for Jiang Yan, but now...
"This is a snack for Grandpa Jiang." She ate so many cherries that Grandpa Jiang sent, she should thank him for it.
"Xiaoyao, can you still cook?" Mu Xiaoxue was a little surprised.
"Well, a little bit." In the past, when she was tired of mixing fragrances, she would go to the kitchen to study some food. She has a keen sense of smell and taste, and she has a little talent in cooking, but she doesn't cook often.
Mu Xiaoxue didn't ask any more questions. The more she got in touch with this younger sister, the more she realized that she was different from what she imagined.
Her gaze fell on Mu Yao's slender and tender fingers inadvertently, and Mu Xiaoxue was a little absent-minded.
When did it start that Mu Yao, who was black and earthy when she came to Mu's house, became as white as her? Even a face became more and more beautiful.
Mu Xiaoxue lowered her eyes slowly.
Many luxury cars have been parked outside the gate of Jiang's old house.
Just as Mu Xiaoxue and Mu Yao got out of the car, another servant hurried forward to lead the way.
The Jiang family's house is very large, because it has been built for many years, it has a serious and simple style. The rockery in the yard, the small bridge and flowing water were all designed by Mr. Jiang according to his hobbies.
"Grandpa Jiang." Mu Xiaoxue greeted him methodically when she saw Mr. Jiang sitting in the living room.
Old Man Jiang nodded, seeing Mu Yao, he smiled and said: "Xiao Yao is here, you girl hasn't come to see me for a long time, is it because Grandpa Jiang doesn't call you, you don't come over to play?"
"Grandpa Jiang." Mu Yao walked over, and when she spoke, there was a kind of affection for her relatives, "Even if you don't call me, I still want to visit you, just because I'm afraid you think I'm troublesome."
"Jiang Yan and his friends are up there, Uncle Jiang, take Xiaoxue up to find them, Xiaoyao, sit down and chat with grandpa for a while."
Mr. Jiang's preference for Mu Yao is obvious.
"Then I'll go up first." Mu Xiaoxue had a certain amount of advance and retreat, and she didn't show any dissatisfaction because of Mr. Jiang's different treatment.
"Grandpa Jiang, I made you some snacks, are you interested in trying them?" Mu Yao sat down on the sofa next to Grandpa Jiang, her tone and demeanor showed no alienation from the Mu family.
"Oh? You made it yourself?"
"Well, I made it specially for you, Grandpa Jiang." Mu Yao frowned and smiled sweetly, "It's guaranteed to be delicious."
Mr. Jiang was amused by Mu Yao's little girl attitude, "Then I really want to try it."
Mu Yao took out the crisper from the paper bag, opened the lid, and there were a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in coconut milk.
The snow-white pastry is cut into prismatic shapes and sprinkled with crushed dried osmanthus flowers. It is crystal clear and very beautiful. When it is moved, the snow-white osmanthus cake shakes with the crisper and is full of elasticity.
Mu Yao handed the little fork to Mr. Jiang.
Mr. Jiang took a bite. The snow-white and crystal-clear pastry was filled with thick coconut milk and osmanthus flowers. It was a bit icy, but sweet but not greasy. It had an excellent taste.
"I'm more blessed than your grandfather." Old Man Jiang sighed suddenly, thinking of his friend who had died for many years, the smile on Old Man Jiang's face faded.
"Grandpa Jiang and my grandfather have a good relationship?" Mu Yao only knew that Grandpa Jiang had friendship with the original owner's grandfather, otherwise, she wouldn't have married her back then.
"Your grandpa helped me when I was in the most difficult time, Xiaoyao, you have to remember that you can always ask grandpa for help if you have any difficulties in the future, you understand?"
Mr. Jiang felt a lot of guilt towards Mu Yao. When Mu Yao was sent away by Mu Wanhai, he believed it when Mu Wanhai said that he sent his child abroad to study.
It wasn't until Mu Yao was brought back that he realized that after all these years, the child had been thrown into the countryside.
If he hadn't thought that Mu Wanhai was Mu Yao's father, and that the Ye Group controlled by Mu Wanhai was a product of Old Man Ye, he would have killed Mu Wanhai a long time ago.
Mu Yao saw the sad and guilty look on Old Man Jiang's face, she quickly changed the topic, and after a while, she coaxed him to laugh and ate half a box of pastries by the way.
"Your child is really looking more and more like your mother. Like your mother, Xiaoyun was famous for being beautiful in City B back then." Mr. Jiang said with a smile, like a person who loves his granddaughter Grandpa, he doesn't have the slightest imposing manner.
After chatting for a while, Mr. Jiang didn't want to restrict Mu Yao here, young people should play with young people.
"Okay, go up and play with Jiang Yan and the others. You can't just chat with the old man, you should make more friends." Old man Jiang signaled his servant to lead Mu Yao.
"Then I'll go up and play for a while, and I'll chat with Grandpa Jiang later."
"Okay, let's go play."
Watching Mu Yao go upstairs, the smile on Mr. Jiang's face disappeared.
"Master, Miss Mu Yao will get better and better, you don't have to worry." The butler has been with Mr. Jiang for many years and knows his thoughts very well.
Mr. Jiang sighed, "I originally wanted Jiang Yan and Xiaoyao to get married. With my protection, she will only be favored when she is in the Jiang family. I didn't expect the two children to see each other badly. When old man Ye saw me, he probably wanted to beat me up..."
The butler comforted him: "No, Master Ye will be very happy to know that you love Miss Mu Yao."
The second floor is not only equipped with a beautiful sky garden, an open-air swimming pool, a study room, an entertainment room, but also a large film and television hall.
And Jiang Yan and the others were celebrating in the film and television hall.
When Mu Yao went in, she saw that the room was dimly lit, watching movies and playing games, it was very lively.
All the people invited today are Jiang Yan's fairly close friends.
"Xiao Yao, you're here."
Mu Xiaoxue was sitting next to Jiang Yan, watching Jiang Yan roll the dice with others. Seeing Mu Yao walk in, Mu Xiaoxue called her lightly, "Come and sit here."
"I'll go, what a beautiful girl, whose friend is it?" Lu Chen bumped Chen Qinghui with his elbow and asked in surprise.
"Mu Yao? Why is she here? Brother Yan doesn't seem to have invited her." Chen Qinghui sat up straight at once.
"This is Mu Yao? I remember you used to say that she is dark and ugly? Now I seriously suspect that there is something wrong with your eyes." Lu Chen stared at the pure and watery Mu Yao, just wanting to poke Chen Qinghui's eyes blind.
"You have a problem with your eyes. She has only become so beautiful recently, and she was really ugly before." Chen Qinghui felt that Mu Yao seemed to be beautiful again, as if every time he saw her, she was more beautiful than the last time.
Lu Chen poked his peachy eyes, "It may also be that she just came from the countryside and doesn't know how to dress up. Your eyes really don't know how to find beauty."
Mu Yao walked over, sat down in an empty seat near Mu Xiaoxue, and sat quietly.
Under the dim light, Jiang Yan raised his eyes when Mu Yao came in.
Staring at her with dark eyes, I saw that she was wearing a light yellow coat today, with long jeans underneath, clean and simple, without any intention of dressing up specially.
Jiang Yan recalled the day when Mu Yao was transferred to another class, she was wearing a beautiful skirt, showing her white legs, standing with that boy.
He suddenly realized that Mu Yao really didn't care about him at all now, she didn't have any thoughts at all.
The thin lips were pursed tightly, and Jiang Yan's dark eyes were stained with unconscious annoyance.
Apart from Mu Xiaoxue and Jiang Yan, Chen Qinghui knew Mu Yao well. He joked, "Mu Yao, what gift did you prepare for Brother Yan?" They saw the gift from Mu Xiaoxue just now. Is a worldwide limited edition watch.
Mu Yao is not treated well by the Mu family, but she is the daughter of the Mu family after all, so naturally she will not be so poor.
"I didn't prepare a gift." Mu Yao replied directly.
"No way, you came here empty-handed?" Chen Qinghui was surprised, and only then did he see that Mu Yao really didn't bring anything.
Mu Xiaoxue explained: "Xiaoyao didn't come here empty-handed, she prepared snacks for Grandpa Jiang, and she was chatting with Grandpa Jiang just now."
"Oh, I just prepared a gift for Mr. Jiang, but Brother Yan didn't." As soon as Chen Qinghui finished speaking, he shuddered instantly, and he obediently shut his mouth when he met Jiang Yan's eyes.
Jiang Yan's thin lips were tightened more and more, and there was a stern look between his brows.
"Xiao Yao, are you thirsty?" Mu Xiaoxue asked someone to bring a clean cup over, "Have some drinks first."
"Thank you." The glass was filled with wine-red juice, and Mu Yao took a sip. It was sweet and sour, and the tip of her tongue was full of fruity aromas, as well as the taste of wine.
It's fruit wine.
The theater is very noisy.
Mu Yao quietly watched the movie on the big screen, she was sitting upright, the light from the screen reflected on her fair little face, outlining a beautiful outline.
"Xiaoyao, do you want to play together? I can teach you." Mu Xiaoxue saw that Mu Yao didn't fit in with the people around her. As a sister, it's not good to leave her alone.
"No need, I'll sit down for a while." Mu Yao felt that the place was a bit stuffy, and she was getting hotter and hotter.
She poured another glass of fruit wine, which was cold, sweet and sour, and delicious.
Jiang Yan leaned on the back of the sofa, his eyes fell on Mu Yao's profile intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes were extremely dark.
After sitting for a while, Mu Yao felt a little dizzy, and felt more and more stuffy here, so she couldn't stay longer, got up and walked out.
"Xiaoyao, have you been drinking?" Mr. Jiang saw Mu Yao walking down, his face was blushing, obviously he was drunk.
"I drank two glasses of fruit wine just now." Mu Yao also felt drunk.
"Your physique should be like your mother's. Your mother will get drunk when she touches alcohol." Mr. Jiang asked the servant to prepare the guest room, "There is a guest room on the second floor, you should go up to have a rest, and come down when it's time for dinner. "
Mu Yao didn't expect that this body would be so easy to get drunk, "Okay, thank you, Grandpa Jiang."
Jiang's guest room was kept clean and tidy.
Mu Yao sat by the bed, her consciousness gradually blurred, she said to the servant: "Please pour me a cup of yogurt."
The door was closed, and Mu Yao lay down on the bed. In a daze, she hugged the pillow at the head of the bed in her arms, closed her eyes, and obediently rubbed her small face against the pillow.
Jiang Yan walked out of the film and television hall, but did not see Mu Yao's figure.
"Did you see Mu Yao?" He stopped the servants passing by.
"Master, Miss Mu is in the guest room, and she asked me to pour her a cup of yogurt."
The door of the guest room was unlocked.
Glasses of yogurt are on the bedside table.
"Mu Yao, the yogurt you want."
Hearing the sound, Mu Yao let go of the pillow, sat up obediently, and hugged Jiang Yan who was standing by the bed, her pink face rubbed against Jiang Yan's waist, and the sound of drinking wine seemed to cover her There was a burst of sweetness, "You want to feed Yaoyao yogurt."
Unlike other people who are drunk, Mu Yao will not go crazy when drunk, nor will she sleep peacefully. When she is drunk, she will become clingy, and she will act like a baby quietly to others.
Jiang Yan lowered his eyes, looked at Mu Yao who was holding him, his whole body froze, his eyes were dark.
"Mu Yao?"
"Yes." Mu Yao obediently responded.
She was sitting by the bed, holding Jiang Yan's waist with both hands, blinking her big watery eyes, looking at Jiang Yan eagerly, and coquettishly: "You should feed Yaoyao."
When she was drunk, her mother would feed her and touch her head, why not this time?
Looking at her blushing little face, Jiang Yan knew that she was drunk.
Taking the yogurt next to him, Jiang Yan sat on the edge of the bed with a sullen face, and said in a cold voice with unconscious tenderness, "Open your mouth."
"what."
Mu Yao obediently opened her mouth, drinking the yogurt that was fed to her mouth.
After finishing drinking, she bent her beautiful eyebrows, hugged Jiang Yan, and smiled at him very obediently and sweetly, "It's delicious."
Jiang Yan felt that he should push Mu Yao away, and then coldly satirized her to approach him pretending to be drunk.
But in the next second, Mu Yao's fair and delicate face rubbed against Jiang Yan's arms, "I want to sleep." Mom. Her voice was very soft.
The chest seemed to be hit violently by something soft, it was sour and crispy, Jiang Yan could only feel a numbness going straight to the tip of his heart.
Suddenly, he remembered Chen Qinghui's words.
Perhaps, it's not impossible to be Mu Yao's boyfriend, at least you can treat her well.
