Chapter 101: Open-minded Old Mom

  Mù Yán suddenly mentioned the old man, and Mù Fāng's mind immediately conjured up a handsome and majestic young military officer who had beaten them to a pulp amidst their siege.

  But Mu Fang quickly shook her head and sighed: "Xiao Yan, what's the point of mentioning him?"

  Mu Yan hesitated for a moment, then said: "Actually, I can tell, Mom, you still like him, right? Otherwise, all these years, you wouldn't have raised me alone and not looked for someone to accompany you. Although the old man is sometimes overbearing, if he's someone who can be entrusted with things, I think he'll let go too."

  "You've been in there all these years, and that scoundrel often goes to see you?" Mu Fangfang said with a stern face.

  Muyan looked at his mother's serious expression and nodded anyway.

  Mufangfang let out another sigh and said, "It's good that he went to see you. After all, you are father and son. Now that I think about it, when I insisted on keeping you by my side and not letting you follow him back to the family, it was also because of my own selfishness. Otherwise, that incident wouldn't have happened back then!" As she spoke, Mufangfang's eyes suddenly turned red, as if tears were about to fall.

  "Mom, don't cry. Didn't I tell you? These past ten years have been spent in a sanatorium, where I didn't suffer at all. Every day I had books to read and was constantly learning. Otherwise, how could I have just entered a company and not long after become a manager, with a company car to boot? All of this is the result of my studies!" Mu Yan comforted.

  "Hmm! I knew it, that scoundrel still knows the relationship between father and son!" Mu Fangfang wiped away her tears, revealing a faint smile.

  "I can see that the old man has been thinking of you too, mom. You're going to be fifty next year, and at your age, there are some things that shouldn't be on your mind anymore. Why not just reunite with him? I've met Auntie a few times, she's a knowledgeable and reasonable woman, and she doesn't mind your existence either. In fact, Lan Aunt often spends time with them together. If you could just let go a bit, mom, you wouldn't have to live such a bitter life!" Mu Yan said cautiously.

  After listening to Mu Yan's words, Mu Fangfang stared at her son for half a moment, but instead of getting angry, she burst out laughing.

  Seeing his mother smile, Mu Yan asked strangely: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

  Mu Fangfang's smile gradually faded, and she sighed: "You! You're just like your dad. When you were young, he would come to persuade me in the same way. There was even a time when I was moved by his words, but unfortunately, it was right then that Chen Huilan gave birth to a son for your dad. Seeing how happy he looked made my heart burn with anger, and I said many harsh words to him. As a result, your dad didn't dare come find me for several years. Later, as his official position grew higher and higher, he had less and less time. Sometimes it would be several months before he'd call me on the phone."

  Mu Yan suddenly realized that the relationship between his father and mother was much more intimate than he had imagined, and he had been worrying for nothing.

  But this is a good thing for myself, smiled and said: "Mom, actually there's something I didn't tell you, when I came back, the old man gave me a sum of money, enough to buy two houses here with some left over."

  "It's your dad's money, so you can just take it. If you want to buy a house, mom will help you with the reference. I knew this earlier, then mom wouldn't have been working so hard for these two years." Mu Fangfang said with a hint of sadness.

  "Mom, I'm sorry for making you suffer all these years!" Mu Yan suddenly apologized.

  Mu Fangfang shook her head and said, "It's Mom who let you suffer, okay, Mom has also been through it before. You're that kind of person without conscience, just like him, with the same moral character. If you like someone, go chase them, but don't rely on your dad's name to bully others. If you can get them, that's your ability, if not, then obediently choose one from the two girls!"

  "Mom, don't worry, with your words, that's enough for me. I didn't want to do anything with the old man's title anyway!" Mu Yan saw that his mother was more open-minded than he had imagined, and his heart was also excited for a moment.

  "Look at you, just like your father from the start!" Mu Fangfang looked at her son, a hint of comfort also appeared on the corner of her mouth.

  The two of them chatted for a while, and when they looked at the time again, it was already 6:30. Mu Fangfang immediately stood up from her chair and said, "I've been so caught up in talking that I haven't even cooked dinner yet! I'll go cook now!"

  Mù Yán immediately pulled his mother and said: "Mom, it's so late, what are you cooking? Let's go out to eat today!"

  Mu Fang thought for a moment and said: "It's already past 7 o'clock, it's indeed a bit late. Alright! Let's go out to eat tonight!"

  After seeing his mother agree, Mu Yan directly took her out of the door.

  "Xiao Yan, this is the car your company assigned to you. Our school also has one, worth several hundred thousand yuan. Your boss really treats you well!" Mu Fangfang said with a smile from inside the car.

  "Hmm, she's been good to me, I'll bring her to meet you next time if there's a chance!" Mu Yan said.

  "Look at what you're saying, are you the boss or is someone else the boss!" Mu Fangfang just thought her son was joking.

  "In his heart, Mu Yan muttered: 'She is indeed the boss, but she's also your daughter-in-law! You now have a great-granddaughter too!'"

  Of course, Mu Yan did not dare to mention Yu Jing's matter. After all, the previous matters of Zhou Wenwen and Yao Lele had already caused a big reaction from his mother. She was still a very traditional woman. If she were to say Yu Jing's matter again, it would be okay if she acknowledged it, but if she didn't acknowledge it, the consequences would not just be about not acknowledging Yu Jing. Mu Yan did not dare to gamble and did not want to make his mother worry. Anyway, Yu Jing's matter was not urgent, at least until she had fully handled the company matters before saying anything.

  Because both of them were also very hungry, Mu Yan didn't plan to go too far and drove to Xiang Wei Building instead.

  Because tomorrow is the weekend, there are still many people here, but as soon as he walked in, Mu Yan saw a familiar figure in the lobby.

  Peace!

  Mu Yan immediately saw a young girl wearing a white T-shirt and black jeans, sitting next to her was a woman in her 40s who still looked elegant and had some resemblance to An An, obviously her mother, and another man around 40 years old.

  The man was tall and handsome, with a dashing appearance, but his eyes seemed somewhat bewildered, obviously he was the swindler.

  Mù Yán hadn't expected to run into them here and had originally planned to spend Children's Day with Yu Xī and Xiǎo Jìng before dealing with them.

  An An soon saw Mu Yan, but also saw Mu Fangfang beside him.

  As a third-year student at No. 7 Middle School, she naturally knew who Mu Fangfang was and had originally wanted to come over to greet her, but didn't get up.

  Especially after Mu Yan gave her a comforting glance, An An revealed a faint smile.
