Chapter 148 Shen Rou's amiable expression
Kuncheng International Airport is bustling with people. The noisy clamor and the clear and loud broadcasting sounds are intertwined and echo in the airport hall.
Jiang Chengyu dragged two heavy suitcases, followed closely behind Mu Xiaoji, and walked slowly towards the exit. Mu Xiaoji stood tall and straight, with a firm step, and his confident look seemed to light up the entire hall. Jiang Chengyu kept his eyes on Mu Xiaoji, fearing that he would lose him in the crowded crowd.
Jiang Chengyu followed closely behind, his eyes revealing a trace of fatigue, but more of a sense of uneasiness about the upcoming unknown. As he walked, he kept an eye on the people and signs around him to make sure they didn't go in the wrong direction.
Rong Shishan was standing not far from the door, looking around anxiously, his eyes full of anticipation, as if he was waiting for someone important.
From a distance, he saw the familiar figure. Mu Xiaoji's unique temperament and Jiang Chengyu's tall figure were particularly conspicuous in the crowd.
Mu Xiaoji limped out of the hall with a cane and looked around the parking lot. A relieved smile appeared on his face, as if he had straightened his back even more after returning to his motherland!
Rong Shishan hurriedly stood up and trotted a few steps, waving to the two of them. His movements were a little clumsy, but full of enthusiasm.
Jiang Chengyu reminded softly from behind: "Xiao Ji, Rong Shishan is over there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Shishan came over quickly, his face filled with joy and his eyes full of concern.
Rong Shishan came over to help Mu Xiaoji take the painting box. "Hey, you two, you're back so soon? It's a little early!"
Mu Xiaoji scolded, "Why? Do you have any objections? Or am I blocking your path to wealth?"
Rong Shishan smiled and replied, "No, I just think it's against the procedure."
"Is it not okay for me to graduate early?"
"Haha... good, good. The car is parked over there. Boss has been waiting for you to come back for a long time!"
Jiang Chengyu asked hurriedly: "Are we...going back to the middle of the mountain?"
Rong Shishan replied easily, "Uh, no, Goldsmith Bay. The old lady often goes to the hospital for checkups when she comes back, and it's inconvenient to live halfway up the mountain, so she lives in Goldsmith Bay now."
After that, Rong Shishan opened the trunk, put the things in the trunk, and closed it. The three of them got into the car tacitly, Rong Shishan started the engine steadily, and drove towards Jinjiang Bay.
At this moment, Jiang Chengyu was feeling uneasy. He watched the scenery outside the window moving backwards, and his thoughts were extremely complicated. He didn't know how much troubles meeting Shen Rou would bring to Xiaoji.
The car was speeding through the city of Kuncheng, winding across the bridge and through the traffic. Jiang Chengyu's eyes sometimes fell on the scenery outside the window, and sometimes returned to Mu Xiaoji. His heart was full of worries, but he didn't dare to show it.
The car slowly stopped at the entrance of the Goldsmith Bay Villa. Jiang Chengyu and Lao Rong got out of the car first, their movements were quick and neat.
Jiang Chengyu looked around, and the scene of climbing over the wall to investigate emerged in his mind. He had climbed in from the south corner. His eyes revealed a long-lost funny look, but soon he regained his calm.
Mu Xiaoji then got out of the car and looked at the manor he had once spied on with a telescope. Now he was going to live in it with great fanfare. He couldn't help but smile sarcastically. His smile was filled with a hint of helplessness and self-mockery, as if he was lamenting the fickleness of fate.
Rong Shishan and Jiang Chengyu took the painting box and dragged the suitcase with Mu Xiaoji into the living room. What came into view was the magnificent inner room with luxurious furnishings, which made people admire it.
The dazzling chandeliers, exquisite murals, and gorgeous furniture all demonstrate the owner's dignity and wealth.
Song Shijie and Shen Rou hurried down from upstairs, saying with a smile: "Chenxi is back! You must be tired after sitting on the plane for several hours! Come and sit down and have a rest."
Shen Rou was even more excited. She walked closer to Mu Xiaoji, looked him up and down, and said with concern: "Chenxi, mom made mushroom soup for you. Please sit down and I will serve you a bowl."
"Mom, no need..."
Shen Rou had already pushed Mu Xiaoji to sit on the sofa, and she ran to the kitchen.
Jiang Chengyu and Rong Shishan looked at this happy scene with soft eyes. Their eyes were full of envy and relief, as if they were happy for Mu Xiaoji.
Song Shijie walked closer to Mu Xiaoji, looked at Rong Shishan and said, "Oh, Old Rong, take Chenxi's things to the bedroom upstairs."
Rong Shishan nodded, "Oh okay Boss."
Jiang Chengyu was about to help Rong Shishan when he heard an old voice asking, "My eldest grandson is back? Where is he?"
I saw a young and simple girl wearing a simple and plain sweater and a pair of light blue jeans.
The girl, with a calm and composed look, supported an old man in gorgeous clothes and walked unsteadily towards the living room.
The girl's eyes were clear and bright, with a faint smile on her face, giving people a warm feeling.
The old man's eyes were full of anticipation and joy, as if he was waiting for someone important.
When I walked in, I saw the handsome Jiang Chengyu standing next to the sofa. I walked over and grabbed his hands.
She said with a smile: "Is this my eldest grandson? Wow, he is so handsome that grandma can't take her eyes off him."
Jiang Chengyu smiled amiably and said, "Grandma."
Shen Rou came out carrying mushroom soup, "Mom, your eldest grandson is here?"
After that, he placed the mushroom soup in front of Xiaoji, walked up to the old lady, helped her walk towards Mu Xiaoji, and said, "Look carefully, this is your eldest grandson. Don't think everyone is your eldest grandson."
Mu Xiaoji hurriedly helped the old lady sit down and said, "Grandma, Happy New Year, how do you feel now?"
Jiang Chengyu didn't take it seriously and followed Rong Shishan upstairs. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.
The old lady smiled from ear to ear, "Is this my eldest grandson? He looks exactly like Xiaojie when he was young!"
Shen Rou said happily: "That's right, when I first saw him, I also mistook him for Ajie."
Rong Shishan sent Mu Xiaoji's things to the bedroom, turned around and looked at Jiang Chengyu and said, "Don't take it to heart. Madam is upset about that. Just pretend you didn't hear it. Xiaoji can't do anything to you with her around."
After saying that, he patted Jiang Chengyu on the shoulder. Jiang Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I know, thank you, Lao Rong."
The two of them walked downstairs, and Rong Shishan replied, "Boss, do you have any other instructions? If there is nothing else, I will go back!"
Song Shijie looked at Rong Shishan and said, "It's okay, you can go back early! You've worked hard today!"
"Boss, it seems that you are really happy that Xiaoji is back! You are even polite to me." Rong Shishan smiled, patted Jiang Chengyu's shoulder, and left.
Jiang Chengyu watched Rong Shishan's back as he left. He just stood there at a loss, watching his family surrounding Mu Xiaoji, talking and laughing.
The girl looked at Jiang Chengyu, thinking he was also a hired hand. She approached Jiang Chengyu and said in a low voice, "You can leave now. Don't disturb the Madam and her family reunion."
While waving to him to leave quickly, Jiang Chengyu looked at the girl with a sharp eye, his eyes revealing a hint of loneliness and loss, as if he was an outsider.
Shen Rou blew on the mushroom soup while cooling it down and said, "Chenxi, the soup is cold. Eat it while it's hot and stop talking to grandma!"
Mu Xiaoji listened to his grandmother chattering and said, "Oh, Chenxi, grandma lives alone in Sanya and is so bored every day. When I was young, I would come back to see Ziheng when I missed my grandson. Later, my health became worse and worse. I don't know why that woman didn't let Ziheng see me." Grandma paused and continued, "Ziheng was busy going to college, so I didn't see him for a long time."
Mu Xiaoji suddenly felt that something was missing and looked around. He turned around and saw Jiang Chengyu standing alone at the door with a confused look on his face. The girl who came out with her grandmother was pushing him to go out.
He instantly felt guilty and quickly picked up his cane and limped towards Jiang Chengyu.
"What are you doing?" Mu Xiaoji asked the girl.
The girl saw Mu Xiaoji's cold gaze and quickly shrank her head and said, "Master, this man refused to leave after delivering the things."
Mu Xiaoji angrily shouted, "Who told you he was here to deliver something? Call him Master."
The girl said timidly, "Yes, Master. I'm sorry, Master."
Mu Xiaoji looked at Jiang Chengyu tenderly in an instant: "I'm sorry, little monster, come and sit down with me and have a rest." After that, he took the little monster's hand and walked to the sofa.
He took the mushroom soup from Shen Rou's hand and asked with concern, "Little Monster, are you hungry? I didn't see you eating anything on the plane. Come, let the mushroom soup cool down, eat it while it's hot."
Mu Xiaoji scooped a spoonful of soup with a doting look on his face, and fed it to Jiang Chengyu without hesitation. Jiang Chengyu stumbled and fell on the sofa.
"Xiaoji, I'm not hungry."
Shen Rou looked at Jiang Chengyu sharply, and Jiang Chengyu became flustered as soon as he met Shen Rou's gaze. There was a hint of fear and uneasiness in his eyes, as if he had done something wrong.
Mu Xiaoji looked at the restrained little monster with a heart full of pity. He frowned slightly and said gently: "Little monster, if you are not hungry, go back to your room and rest! I will send your meal to your room later." The voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, making people feel extremely warm.
Shen Rou pretended to be generous and said, "Hey Mr. Jiang, I'll take you to see your room. If you need anything, just tell me."
After that, Shen Rou stood up gracefully, her figure like a noble swan. She walked upstairs with light steps, each step revealing elegance and calmness.
Mu Xiaoji said with a smile: "Go ahead, I'll come find you later."
Jiang Chengyu stood up awkwardly and helplessly, his eyes revealing a hint of uneasiness and helplessness. His movements were a little stiff, as if his heart was full of contradictions.
Jiang Chengyu followed Shen Rou to the bedroom upstairs. His steps were heavy and slow. With every step, he could feel the oppression emanating from Shen Rou. His heart was filled with uneasiness, not knowing what Shen Rou would say to him.
Shen Rou pushed open the door of the bedroom opposite Xiao Ji and walked in. The room was decorated simply and comfortably, with sunlight shining through the window onto the ground, giving people a warm feeling.
Without even turning her head, Shen Rou said to Jiang Chengyu behind her: "Jiang Chengyu, you are a smart man. I can't do anything to you in the United States, but the relationship between the two of you is invalid in the motherland.
I hope you can leave Chenxi wisely and not let his bright future be ruined by you. Besides, our temple is small and cannot accommodate a big Buddha like you. You can stay here temporarily tonight and move out as soon as possible tomorrow. Don't make things difficult for Chenxi. You know he is not in good health, so we should think more about him."
Shen Rou's voice was cold and resolute, like a sharp knife piercing Jiang Chengyu's heart. She turned and left, not forgetting to bump into Jiang Chengyu.
Jiang Chengyu staggered, looking at Shen Rou's back as she left, his heart filled with helplessness and pain. His eyes revealed a trace of confusion and loss, as if he had lost his direction.
He stood there quietly, thinking about everything. He knew that Shen Rou's words made sense, and his relationship with Mu Xiaoji was indeed not recognized in this society.
However, he could not give up his feelings for Mu Xiaoji, and he had promised Xiaoji to cure his grandmother's illness. He didn't know what to do now, and his heart was full of contradictions and struggles.
