Mu Jiu Chen and Jiang Nuan left, and Mu Yi Chen soon received the news.
He looked out the window. The late spring cold had arrived unexpectedly, and it was already snowing heavily outside. The hazy sky was a perfect reflection of his current bewildered heart.
The further he went, the more he felt that some things were hard to change.
Was he truly unable to shake off such a formidable opponent as Mu Jiu Chen?
This thought appeared in his mind every day.
His expression was complicated. After standing by the window for a long time, he turned to leave and went to the company to handle matters.
He hoped that just as he had arrived freely, he could leave here just as unfettered.
...
Jiang Nuan's family of three landed at Modu Airport. Chen Feng was already waiting in the parking lot with his car.
After the three got into the car, they headed directly to the Lu family.
Jin Yan, knowing her daughter was returning, got up early.
She personally went to the supermarket, bought the freshest ingredients, and prepared a table full of dishes, waiting for her daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter.
Jiang Yu Kuo looked at his grandmother bustling about and said with a chuckle, "Wow, Grandma, you're all doting mothers. We boys, whether in the Lu family or the Mu family, aren't favored."
Jin Yan heard this and squinted with a smile. "You little rascal, how can you say that? You are all Grandma's most important treasures, but Grandma likes your mom and sister more."
Jiang Yu Kuo was heartbroken upon hearing this.
Why did she have to say the latter part?
He leaned into his third uncle's arms in complaint. "Uncle, we men have no status."
Lu Jin Yan was already accustomed to this. When Lu Qiao Yi was still his sister, his parents doted on her a lot.
He rubbed the little guy's head. "It's okay, you still have your three uncles to dote on you?"
Jiang Yu Kuo's handsome face finally showed a hint of a smile upon hearing this.
His parents and sister were coming today, so he had also given himself a day off.
His throat still needed some rest.
When Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiu Chen arrived, they happened to be in time for lunch.
Jiang Bei Chen knew his granddaughter had arrived and did not go to the company.
Although the company had been handed over to Jiang Nuan, she was quite lazy and unwilling to manage company affairs.
The elder did not rush. Nuan Nuan was still young and did not want to be constrained, which he could understand.
He was still able to move and handle company matters.
However, Jiang Nuan did not completely disengage. All the formulas in the company had to go through her. Once she found anything amiss, she would immediately call him.
If the formula was wrong or the dosage was incorrect, Nuan Nuan could tell at a glance.
This greatly reduced his work time, making his work much easier.
Lu Cheng Si and Lu Jin Cheng were the last to arrive home.
"Dad, Second Brother, come over quickly for dinner," Jiang Nuan said with a smile, looking at them.
The father and sons were overjoyed to see their family of three had arrived.
Although Nuan Nuan had been separated from them for more than twenty years, perhaps due to their blood relationship, he could still feel his daughter's reliance and affection.
"Nuan Nuan, Dad is here," Lu Cheng Si walked over with a smile.
Mu Jiu Chen also stood up to greet them.
"Dad, Second Brother."
"Good, good, Xiao Jiu, sit down quickly." Lu Cheng Si sat beside his wife. The couple exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with happiness.
After the family happily had lunch, Lu Cheng Si realized someone was missing.
While everyone was drinking tea in the living room, Lu Cheng Si suddenly said, "I felt something was missing. It turns out we're missing our eldest son. He went to Jin City, why isn't he back yet? Today is the fifteenth, a reunion festival."
Lu family's second and third sons: "..."
They lowered their heads silently.
How low was their eldest brother's presence?
Their father only just remembered he wasn't there.
Jiang Yu Kuo watched the two uncles with amusement.
He thought that when he and Shao Qing grew up, they would likely receive the same treatment from his father.
Jiang Nuan looked at her father's expression and couldn't help but smile. She was about to say that their eldest brother couldn't come back due to business.
Then she heard her father say something heartwarming.
"As long as my daughter is back, and my little granddaughter."
Others: "..."
Jiang Nuan and Jiang Si Yun couldn't help but laugh.
Jin Yan looked at her daughter and also smiled. Nuan Nuan's hair had grown out, forming a neat ear-length bob that made her look even more beautiful, just like she did when she was young.
"Nuan Nuan, Mom will take you shopping for things today," Jin Yan said, holding her daughter's hand, her smile full of affection.
Jiang Nuan nodded. She would spend the day properly with her mother.
Jiang Si Yun shook her head. "Grandma, Mommy, I don't want to go shopping. I'll stay home and chat with Great-Grandpa."
Shopping was tiring, and she didn't lack anything, so she didn't want to go.
Jiang Bei Chen smiled happily. "Yun Yun, Great-Grandpa will take you to play later."
"Okay, okay, okay." Jiang Nuan didn't force her daughter.
Lu Cheng Si looked at Mu Jiu Chen opposite him. Mu Jiu Chen sat with an elegant and noble posture. He smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu, let's play mahjong later. It's a festival today, so we won't talk about work matters for now."
Mu Jiu Chen nodded. "Alright, Dad."
The family chatted for an hour, and then Jin Yan took Jiang Nuan out to the mall. She wanted to buy her daughter some pretty clothes.
They arrived at Modu's largest luxury department store.
Jiang Nuan looked around and said, "Mom, do we have to buy things from inside?"
Jin Yan nodded quickly. "Yes, Nuan Nuan, Mom wants to buy you pretty clothes. Every time I see you wear clothes, it's either white or black, or black or blue. My daughter is so beautiful, she looks good in any clothes. You should try wearing clothes of various colors."
Jiang Nuan couldn't help but smile. Due to her indifferent personality, she tended to buy clothes in cooler colors. She rarely wore warm-toned clothing.
Jin Yan didn't care if her daughter was willing or not. The Lu family was a wealthy and prominent family; they had plenty of money.
When it came to buying luxury goods for her daughter, Jin Yan wouldn't even bat an eye.
Jin Yan took Jiang Nuan into a store favored by socialites. The style here leaned towards the socialite aesthetic. The small Chanel-style suits and gentle, flowing pink dresses were all beautiful.
But she had never worn anything like them. The only exception was the crimson formal gown Mu Jiu Chen had prepared for her.
Under the sales assistant's introduction, Jin Yan picked out a pink dress for Jiang Nuan. "Nuan Nuan, hurry and try on this dress. Mom has never seen you wear a pink dress before."
Jiang Nuan looked resistant. She indeed had never worn one.
Looking at the expensive diamonds on it, this dress would not be less than seven figures.
Seeing her daughter hesitate, Jin Yan personally pulled her to the fitting room and then smiled as she closed the door.
She then smiled and instructed the sales assistant, "Go and bring all your limited edition clothes. Make sure the colors are bright."
"Yes, Madam, please wait a moment!" She recognized Mrs. Lu and smiled solicitously as she went to get the limited edition clothes.
Not far away, Rong Yin and Li Yan Heng came to the mall to buy gifts. Rong Yin pointed to the store opposite and said, "Li Yan Heng, I think I saw your sister-in-law."
