Chapter 487 Jiang Shuo took the little monster away
In the warm and pleasant restaurant of Jinyang Villa, soft lights are sprinkled in every corner, making the entire space exceptionally warm.
Mu Huiying was busy shuttling between the kitchen and the dining room. Her figure appeared particularly hardworking and friendly in the light and shadow.
I saw her carefully bringing out one dish after another of the carefully prepared meals. The steaming dishes exuded an enticing aroma and were placed one by one on the exquisite dining table.
At this time, Mu Xiaoji's face looked like a withered leaf covered with frost, as if he had been attacked by a frost, and he looked listless.
He was leaning on a cane, his steps slow and heavy, walking slowly from the direction of the gym. Every step he took was accompanied by the sound of the cane hitting the ground gently, as if telling of his depressed mood at the moment.
Mu Huiying saw Mu Xiaoji at a glance, her eyes full of concern, and hurriedly said: "Xiaoji, go wash your hands and eat, don't wait for the food to get cold."
Mu Xiaoji just responded mechanically: "Oh."
There was fatigue and helplessness in his voice. He then walked to the dining table, sat down slowly, and stared ahead with dull eyes, as if he was still immersed in what had just happened.
Mu Huiying brought another bowl of steaming white porridge and gently placed it in front of Mu Xiaoji. While placing the tableware, she casually asked:
"Where's Choubao? Hasn't the kid finished his gym yet? Why hasn't he come over for dinner yet? He's going to be late for school!"
Mu Xiaoji said unhappily: "Don't bother with him, let him do whatever he wants!" There was obvious irritation and dissatisfaction in his tone.
At this time, Dean Guo also came over. He looked at Mu Xiaoji's face and guessed something in his mind. He asked, "What's going on? Are you two arguing again?"
Mu Xiaoji still did not respond, but just sat there silently, as if lost in thought.
Dean Guo couldn't help but teach him earnestly: "Xiao Ji, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you need to be more patient and understanding when dealing with children.
Look at you, every time you meet Chou Bao, you start fighting after just a few words. If someone doesn't know, they would really think that you two were enemies in your previous life."
Mu Xiaoji raised his head slightly, his eyes full of disappointment, and said angrily: "Maybe, it is really like what Uncle Guo said!" The voice was as small as a mosquito, as if carrying endless helplessness.
Dean Guo accidentally noticed that Mu Xiaoji's face was red and swollen, as if he had been hit by something. He was startled and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with your face?"
Mu Xiaoji then unconsciously reached out and touched his cheek, and said in a self-deprecating tone: "It's okay, you asked for it, you deserve it." There was both annoyance and a hint of unspeakable grievance in his expression.
After Mu Huiying put the food on the table, she quickly wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen. Looking at Mu Xiaoji's slightly red and swollen face, her heart was filled with heartache.
She walked quickly to Mu Xiaoji, gently held his face in her hands, and asked anxiously and distressedly, "Hey, Xiaoji, what's wrong? How... did this happen?"
Mu Xiaoji turned his face away impatiently and said irritably: "Mom, I'm fine, please sit down and eat.
He is angry and doesn't want to go to school today, let him be!" His tone was a little tired and helpless, as if he had just experienced a fierce struggle.
Mu Huiying sat down next to Mu Xiaoji, her face full of worry and concern, and said earnestly: "Xiaoji, it's not that mom is talking about you.
Choubao is such a good child, sensible and obedient. Why can't you pay more attention and get along well with Choubao!
You two, father and son, are always at loggerheads with each other. Can't you just talk calmly? Do you have to end up in an unpleasant situation every time?"
Mu Huiying's eyes were full of expectations. She hoped that Mu Xiaoji could understand her painstaking efforts and improve his relationship with Jiang Shuo.
The restaurant in Jinyang Villa fell silent for a moment. Only the aroma of food filled the air, as if it was also sighing for the conflict between the father and son.
Mu Xiaoji sat there silently, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that what his mother and Dean Guo said made sense.
But the quarrel with Jiang Shuo just now was still vivid in his mind, and he didn't know how to face the next relationship...
Mu Xiaoji was feeling very annoyed. Helplessly, he impatiently stood up from the dining table and hurried towards the kitchen.
He walked into the kitchen, opened the cupboard skillfully, took out an exquisite bowl and placed it on the countertop nearby.
Then he walked to the chopping board, picked up the knife, and cut off a few slices of brightly colored carrots with quick but somewhat impatient movements.
Then he opened the refrigerator, took out a piece of cooked beef, a handful of plump corn kernels, and some other nutritious ingredients, and poured them all into the blender.
He turned on the faucet, added an appropriate amount of water into the blender, then reached out and pressed the switch, and the blender instantly made a "buzzing" sound.
The noisy sound seemed to be the embodiment of his inner irritability, and it was telling his frustration at the moment in this quiet space.
He really couldn't understand why in Jiang Chengyu's words, Jiang Shuo was always so outstanding, as if he was an impeccable child.
But when he was in front of her, Jiang Shuo was like a little hedgehog covered with sharp thorns. As long as she got close to him, she would be stabbed all over. Every time they were together, there was a strong smell of gunpowder.
The most annoying thing is that he always speaks to me directly in front of others, regardless of the occasion. Am I really not worthy of hearing him call me "Dad"?
Not long after, the blender made a crisp "drip" sound, indicating that the liquid food was ready.
Mu Xiaoji took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, then took the filter and slowly poured out the liquid food in the blender. The light yellow juice flowed through the filter into the bowl, exuding a faint food aroma.
He picked up the bowl and walked out of the kitchen with steady but slightly hurried steps. He said to Mu Huiying and Dean Guo, "Mom, Uncle Guo, you guys eat first. I'll go feed the little monster."
Mu Huiying was about to speak, but was speechless for a moment, and could only utter one word: "You..." But before she could finish her words, she saw Mu Xiaoji's figure quickly disappeared at the stairs.
Mu Xiaoji walked up the stairs quickly and soon arrived at the bedroom door. He gently pushed the door open, but the scene that came into his eyes made him feel like he was struck by lightning, and he froze in place.
On the originally tidy white bed, the quilt was casually thrown aside and wrinkled into a ball, but Jiang Chengyu was nowhere to be seen on the bed.
Mu Xiaoji's heart suddenly sank as an ominous premonition surged into his mind. The bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, breaking into pieces, and the liquid food splashed on the ground, just like his shattered mood at the moment.
"Guan Shan, Yan Kai..." Mu Xiaoji shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice filled with panic and fear.
He turned around and hurried to the stairs, continuing to shout in a loud voice: "Guan Shan, Yan Kai..."
The shout echoed throughout the room, but there was no response from the two. Only the empty echo lingered in their ears, as if mercilessly announcing that something terrible had happened.
Dean Guo and Mu Huiying were startled when they heard Mu Xiaoji's panicked cry. They quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and rushed upstairs in a panic.
At the same time, Mu Xiaoji rushed into Jiang Shuo's bedroom next door like a madman.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw books, pencil cases and pens scattered messily on the floor, the whole place was in a mess, as if it had just experienced a chaotic struggle.
The notebook and schoolbag on the desk where Jiang Shuo used to monitor the stock market every day were nowhere to be found.
He was extremely anxious and hurried back to his bedroom. As soon as he reached the door, he bumped into Mu Huiying who had hurried over.
Mu Huiying was knocked unconscious and almost fell down. Mu Xiaoji quickly reached out to hold her up.
Mu Huiying asked anxiously: "Xiaoji, what happened? What happened?"
Mu Xiaoji did not answer, but walked straight into the room and looked around in panic.
At this moment, he noticed that the closet door was open and the clothes inside were a little messy, as if they had been hastily flipped through. The pajamas on the little monster were thrown aside, and it was obvious that he had changed his clothes.
The drawer of the bedside table was not closed tightly, leaving a gap. He hurriedly walked over to the bedside table and opened the drawer, and immediately found that the mobile phone in it was missing.
He immediately exclaimed, "The little monster's phone is missing. That brat must have taken it!"
After saying that, he walked to the open balcony like a gust of wind, and at a glance he saw Guan Shan and Yan Kai lying straight on the ground in the yard, motionless, like two lifeless puppets.
Dean Guo and Mu Huiying followed closely behind Mu Xiaoji. Just as they stepped onto the balcony, before they could figure out what was going on, they saw Mu Xiaoji jump without hesitation and jump directly into the yard.
Mu Huiying widened her eyes in horror and subconsciously reached out to grab something, exclaiming, "Xiao Ji, danger." However, when she stretched out her hand, she only grabbed a handful of air.
Mu Xiaoji was agile and landed steadily in the yard. He quickly squatted beside the two of them, looking at the unconscious Guan Shan and Yan Kai.
He gnashed his teeth in anger and couldn't help cursing, "Guan Shan, Yan Kai, you two are really... trash."
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone in a rage, slid his finger quickly across the screen, and booked a Didi taxi nearby.
Then, he walked hurriedly towards the intersection, his back revealing determination and anxiety.
Mu Huiying held onto the balcony railing and shouted anxiously, "Xiaoji, where are you going?"
Without even turning his head, Mu Xiaoji responded angrily and loudly: "Jiang Shuo took the little monsters away. I'm going to go find them."
When Dean Guo heard the news, he was stunned, with shock written all over his face. After a while, he said, "How...how is this possible? How can Choubao, who is so small, take Yu'er away?"
At this time, Jinyang Villa was shrouded in a tense and panic atmosphere. Everyone's heart was filled with doubts and worries. They didn't know why Jiang Shuo wanted to take Jiang Chengyu away, and they didn't know what kind of situation was waiting for them...
