Diplomat's Wife

Chapter 238 Mengmeng's Eyes Are Much Like Hers
"Grandpa, here!" Xiao Zhimeng's voice was childlike and innocent.

After hearing this, Mr. Jin was also slightly taken aback, raised his white eyebrows slightly, and looked down at the little girl who was being held in Mrs. Lu's arms.

The girl was wearing a white princess dress, with a high bun on her head, and a small princess crown on the round ball bun. The little girl blinked a pair of purple grape-like round eyes, full of eyes. Looking at the old man innocently, a little curious and a little afraid.

Mrs. Lu pushed the old man and complained, "You old man, you scared the child!"

This little girl grew up very beautifully, and she was well-behaved and sensible. The old man raised the corners of his lips slightly, but when the always solemn old man smiled, his sloppy smile looked a little stiff, which inevitably made people feel a little weird.

Especially Xiao Zhimeng, who was not frightened by the old man's aura just now, but was so frightened by the old man's stiff smile that she quickly buried her little head in Old Madam Lu's arms.

This scene instantly eased the atmosphere that had dropped to freezing point, and made several adults in the room laugh.

When it was time for dinner, everyone arrived, and the family took their seats.

The Jin family's family rules have always been to eat and sleep without talking.

In the huge dining room, counting the servants who were serving on the side, none of the dozen or so adults spoke. They each moved the table and chopsticks quietly. In the quiet atmosphere, only the breathing of the adults and the clashing of silver chopsticks could be heard. The crisp sound of porcelain bowls.

After returning from France, Jin Simu often came to Yiyuan. He was not used to the rule set by his grandfather, but he gradually got used to it.

But Xiao Zhimeng has never experienced such a meal. When eating at home, her parents will bring her food and talk to her in a pleasant manner. The atmosphere is very warm.

Xiao Zhimeng didn't like this kind of atmosphere, so she picked up the little chicken leg that her mother gave her on her plate, handed it to Jin Simu and said, "Brother, I'll give you chicken leg!"

Jin Simu frowned, looked at the little girl sitting next to him, and said solemnly: "Sister Mengmeng, eat it, I have it too."

Mu Qiqi was listening, if it wasn't because of Grandpa's majesty, she might have laughed out loud. Ba Ye has been like this since he was a child, when he saw a little girl as his sister, he would never admit that he was younger than others.

"You should call me sister!" Jin Zhimeng said stubbornly.

In the past, every time the two little guys had a video call, they had to argue for a long time because of a title issue.

"But I'm taller than you." Jin Simu didn't show weakness.

"Brother, eat chicken legs!" Jin Zhimeng put the chicken legs on Jin Simu's plate.

"Sister, eat meatballs!" Jin Simu forked a small meatball and put it on Jin Zhimeng's plate.

"Brother, eat cauliflower!"

"Sister, eat beef and grow taller!"

……

Neither of the two children was convinced, and they picked food from each other, getting more and more enthusiastic.

Jin Yu and Jin Han looked at each other, and smiled wryly in tacit understanding.

When they were young, if they were like this, they would have been yelled out by the old man long ago. That’s not counting. They must have no food, and they have to stand aside as punishment. Go back to the room and continue to meditate behind closed doors.

It is precisely because they grew up in such a harsh family environment that most of their childhood memories are gloomy, so when they treat their children, they are more tolerant, hoping that their childhood will be colorful and warm , Never copy their past.

Mu Ning'an naturally knew the rules of the Jin family. At this time, her hands were already sweating, but she didn't dare to speak.

As soon as she raised her head, she happened to see Mu Qiqi winking at her. Mu Ningan followed her gaze and saw in the distance, the old man of the Jin family was sitting on a high place, holding the bowl and chopsticks, chewing slowly, with an expression Calm, showing no signs of anger.

Mu Ning'an patted her heart, and let out a sigh of relief.

The old man ate little, and quickly dropped the bowls and chopsticks. Everyone immediately got up and sent the old man away respectfully.

The old lady Lu held the hand of the old man holding the scepter and left together. When the two children passed by, the old lady took a moment to make fun of it, and said with a light smile: "It's time to change your broken rules. It's rare for the children to come back to reunite. What a great atmosphere.”

The old man looked forward, his eyes were slightly empty, "Don't you think Mengmeng looks very similar to Huishan?"

When Mrs. Lu heard this name, her body shook awe-inspiringly, as if she had been touched in some sore spot, and those banned memories came flooding back.

For decades, no one dared to mention Jin Huishan's name in front of Mr. Jin, their daughter who eloped with someone, and the biological mother of their grandson Jin Sheng.

Jin Boyuan had a daughter late, and he only had this youngest daughter when he was nearly forty years old. He almost loved this daughter to the bone. His daughter wanted the moon in the sky, but he would never give her the stars in the sky.

Even though his daughter was in elementary school, the old man still held her on his lap like a jewel in his palm when eating. It wasn't until Jin Huishan went to middle school that the father and daughter couldn't fit in one chair, so they sat apart.

Jin Boyuan took the main seat, and Jin Huishan sat next to him. Every time it was time to eat, Jin Huishan could hear Jin Huishan telling her father what happened in school. The father and daughter talked about everything. Only when facing her daughter can she be so tender.

It's just that maybe he loved and doted on his daughter too much, and let his daughter rebellious later, because he never rejected any request from her daughter, so when her daughter told him swearingly in her year, she fell in love with him. Everything changed when I got a boy.

He began to become tough and violent. He would never let Jin Huishan follow a bastard who was worthless in his eyes. His Jin Boyuan's daughter must be a talented man and a beautiful woman. How could he be confused with such a bastard?

I have to admit that the old man has done many cruel things, but nothing has changed in the slightest. Instead, it hastened the end of his daughter running away from home.

Later, for decades, the seat next to Mr. Jin has always been vacant, and no one dared to sit there. He even followed the rules by not eating or sleeping. Since then, the Jin family has no more laughter at dinner parties.

It's like a kind of silent sacrifice, paying homage to that daughter, and also paying homage to the no longer love between father and daughter.

"Why did you think of the little girl?" Old Madam Lu's eyes were sore, "I almost forgot about her."

How can the old lady forget, but most of the time, she dare not mention it or think about it.

"When Huishan was young, she also had big black eyes like Mengmeng's. She also had a bun like that in her head. She smiled and laughed when she looked at me..." The old man's voice also began to tremble.

"Yes!" The old lady responded, "Huishan was really spoiled by you when she was young..."

Everyone looked at the backs of the two old men leaving, feeling puzzled and sad in their hearts. They had never seen such a fragile appearance of the old man.

After the old man left, the atmosphere at the banquet finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who is Huishan?" Mu Qiqi looked at Jin Yu and asked in a low voice.

"Si Mu's aunt." Jin Yu whispered.

Mu Qiqi nodded, no wonder the old man's eyes were different from the first time he saw Mengmeng.

The family sat down again, the old man was gone, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot.

Xuan Yaru took a piece of meat and put it on Jin Han's plate, "After eating, go and apologize to grandpa."

Jin Han raised his eyes and glanced at her with a "why" expression.

"Don't think I don't know about the things you did." Xuan Yaru scolded him.

After hearing this, Mu Ning'an looked suspiciously at the man sitting opposite her, waiting for his reaction.

"Listen to your mother!" Jin Hanlin chased after him.

"I do things properly, not to mention I didn't do anything wrong." Jin Han took a sip of the spirits and said in a low voice.

"Still stubborn?" Xuan Yaru glanced coldly, "Do you want me to call your little uncle over to confront you? Whose funds did your Guerrilla Media Group use? Whose power is it being emptied of? Grandpa asked you to step down and think about your mistakes, you It's good, I'm going against his old man in private. Grandpa is so old, is it so difficult for you to come and admit his mistake? It's been so long, have you come back once?"

"Little uncle?" Jin Han laughed, "Miss Xuan, what trick did you play for him this time to make him betray me so willingly?"

Xuan Yaru took a deep breath, "Be more serious!"

Jin Han put away his smile and said sternly: "Mom, after all these years, did Grandpa trust me? He doesn't trust anyone, he only trusts himself! When I sat in that position, I was surrounded by his old man If you don’t believe me, ask Jin Yu, is he comfortable in this position?”

Xuan Yaru looked at Jin Yu, and naturally hoped that Jin Yu could persuade his big brother.

Jin Yu's face darkened, "Your mess has almost been cleaned up for you, hurry up and apologize to grandpa, I don't have time to show you the mess."

Jin Han spread his hands and said to Xuan Yaru: "See? The second son who is the most stable in your eyes can't bear to continue working for your father-in-law now!"

Jin Hanlin glanced at the two sons who were shirking each other, and said in a deep voice, "Since neither of you is willing to sit in this position, I'm not the only one with you two sons!"

"Third brother?" The two men said in unison, with frivolous words and full of tacit understanding.

They really know what kind of person Ah Sheng is. He is a heretic and does everything. His personality is too sharp, and he is by no means the one who can stand up to the company's banner.

"Isn't Ah Cheng your younger brother? Isn't he a child of the Jin family? Who stipulated that only the two of you can sit in this seat?" Jin Hanlin asked back.

Jin Yu took a sip of wine, "I heard that someone wants to acquire Disney. The company has never been involved in this field before. I am hesitating whether to sign or not."

After Jin Han listened, it was obvious that he was threatened by these words, so Jin Yu drank the wine in his glass, got up and left.

"What are you going for?" Xuan Yaru asked.

Jin Han adjusted the front of his suit, "Go and talk to grandpa."

After all, he got up and left.

Disney, that was a gift from him to his daughter, how could he be under the coercion of others?At the moment, I can only compromise and apologize to my grandfather.

Some people are happy that someone is worried.

Xuan Yaru looked at Jin Han's back, and finally smiled. The men in the Jin family were too stubborn, at least one of them was willing to bow his head.

Mu Ning'an also laughed, laughing at the way someone surrendered because of his daughter's failure to fight.

Mu Qiqi pursed her lips, and sighed dejectedly. She had only been the chairman's wife for a few days, and she was about to give up before she had sat enough. She could only rejoice that the one who gave up was her sister, not an outsider.

**
When we returned to Taoyuan, it was already very late.

Jin Yu got out of the car and opened the door for Mu Qiqi. Jin Simu was lying in his mother's arms, already asleep, pecking and pecking, probably drinking milk in his dream.

Jin Yu poked his small mouth, "You still drink milk when you are old!"

Mu Qiqi glared at him, "Eighth Master is asleep, don't wake him up."

Jin Yu stretched out his hand, "Shall I hug you?"

The little guy is growing fast, and he is already quite heavy, and he feels sorry that Mu Qiqi will get tired.

Mu Qiqi shook her head, maybe it was her own son, he didn't feel tired no matter how much he hugged him, even though he had hugged him all the way, he still couldn't bear to let go.

Jin Yu could only carefully help her out of the car. On the way back to the house, he was afraid that she would be tired, so he did not forget to help her support Jin Simu, and tried his best to share some of the weight for her.

Finally arrived at Jin Simu's room, Mu Qiqi put the little guy on the bed, changed him into pajamas, the little guy slept soundly, and didn't even wake up after all the tossing.

After settling down her son, Mu Qiqi rubbed her sore shoulder and looked back, only to see Jin Yu sitting on the sofa beside him, holding a mobile phone in his hand, as if he was watching the news.

"Didn't I tell you to take a shower first?" Mu Qiqi asked him, she thought he had already left.

Jin Yu put down his phone, "waiting for you."

"I promised Ba Ye that I will sleep with him tonight."

"He is asleep, what can he know?"

The man kneaded her sore shoulders while talking.

Mu Qiqi was unmoved.

Jin Yu's eyes darkened, "In this case, I will throw Master Ba to Yiyuan tomorrow."

"I really can't do anything about you two, you'll even eat your son's jealousy!" Mu Qiqi choked.

Jin Yu wants to send Simu away, isn't it because his son has taken her away?

Jin Yu nodded, admitting happily.

"That's all!" After saying that, Mu Qiqi took Jin Yu's hand and left the nursery.

Only then did Jin Yu smile with satisfaction, "Good boy, that's right!"

**
a few days later.

Yan's old house.

When it comes to luxury houses in the middle of the mountain, most people will think of those rich and famous people. In the area where the mountains and the sea are close to each other and every inch of land is expensive, every villa flaunts the identity and status of the owner.

But on Fengyang Mountain, the Yan family's old house stands high and overlooks the sea on three sides. People who live nearby know that the entire mountain here belongs to the Yan family.

The generation of the old man of the Yan family had outstanding military exploits. He fought in depth against the enemy several times on the border, allowing the old man to make great military exploits. After several generations of president changes, his military power remained unchanged.

As Yan Kecheng gradually grew up, in recent years, old man Yan has completely retired and no longer cares about military affairs. However, every time the old man's name is mentioned, everyone can't help but think of the general who killed one side back then. Hearing his name, he is not angry and arrogant.

Mr. Yan has never been a high-profile person who likes to flirt and flirt. His usual birthdays are mostly family gatherings, and he never entertains them.

But this year coincides with the old man's [-]th birthday, Yan Kecheng suggested that we should follow the old customs and hold a birthday banquet, which can be regarded as an opportunity for the children to be filial.

The old man agreed, but told him not to be extravagant and wasteful. Yan Kecheng also agreed. At first, he wanted to entertain ten tables, but these generals in the army alone had more than ten tables. There are countless old acquaintances, I heard that the old man of the Yan family is going to hold a birthday banquet, how could he not come to congratulate him?

So, Yan Kecheng proposed, can we do it for three consecutive days?This will not only make those people happy, but also make the old man have fun.

Perhaps the old man is getting older, but this time he agreed for the first time, thinking it's dusk and twilight, so it's good to be lively and lively.

In the first two days, there was an endless stream of congratulatory people coming and going to the old house. On the third day, which was also the birthday of the birthday star, the guests who came could only enter with invitation cards. Naturally, they were all important political and business officials, high-level military officials, and Extraordinary.

On a day like this, Jin Sheng naturally made preparations early in the morning. The birthday gift for Old Man Yan was filled with a whole trunk, gold and jade ornaments, expensive tonics, and everything else. He heard that the old man has recently acquired a hobby of collecting ancient books. He even asked someone to collect many orphans living among the people and come back to honor the old man.

Maybe if you make the old man happy, the Yan family will agree with him and Ran Ran?In the Yan family, as long as Mr. Yan nodded, even Yan Kecheng would not dare to contradict him openly.

After all, Yan Kecheng is still holding the "contract couple" agreement between him and Yan Ranran, he must find another way out now, although the contract is full of loopholes, with his perfect tongue as a gold medal lawyer, No matter what, you can say nothing about the other party.

But he couldn't really go head-to-head with his father-in-law-to-be, let alone Yan Kecheng, unless it was because he didn't want to live anymore.
