Chapter 574: Chapter 569: eting the Grandson
Upon hearing the surna Chu, Miao Qingqing beca even more certain in her heart.
“The new year’s morning dew invokes visions of the dream clouds connected to the south of a thousand woods. The na is well chosen.” Miao Qingqing recited a line of poetry upon hearing the na.
“Huh, you said the sa thing as my husband.” Qin Xue recalled that Chu Molin had also recited the sa lines of poetry when he had chosen the na. Now this old woman was saying the sa thing.
“Really? That’s great. It ans we’re on the sa wavelength.” Miao Qingqing chuckled upon hearing this.
As usual, Chu Molin took off his belt and hat after work.
“Xue’er, I’m ho,” Chu Molin said to his wife.
Miao Qingqing had her back to the door, so Chu Molin didn’t see her.
“Xiao Yu is here. Didn’t you open the door today?” Chu Molin asked his brother-in-law upon seeing him.
“Brother-in-law, I didn’t. I ca to see my sister and my nephews.” Qin Yu smiled and replied.
“Molin is back. Perfect timing. Go wash your hands and have dinner,” Nangong Shulan called out from the kitchen after hearing his voice.
“Okay, Mom. We have a guest today.” Chu Molin noticed Miao Qingqing but only saw the back of her head.
“Yes, go wash up and have dinner,” Nangong Shulan smiled at her son-in-law and replied.
“Alright.” Chu Molin went to wash up without any objections.
Miao Qingqing’s excitent grew when she heard the door open. Although the voice had changed sowhat, she was one hundred percent certain that this was her grandson.
“Why isn’t anyone eating?” Chu Molin’s gentle face stiffened when he saw Miao Qingqing. What was she doing here?
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Qin Xue noticed Chu Molin’s expression and asked him.
“It’s nothing. Let’s eat,” Chu Molin said to his wife with a strained smile.
“Alright.” Qin Xue thought that it wasn’t a good ti to ask questions with so many people around. It would be better to wait until they were back in their room.
Miao Qingqing wanted to say sothing, but seeing her grandson act as if he didn’t know her, she hesitated and ultimately didn’t speak.
The al was consud in an inexplicable silence by all.
Throughout the entire al, Chu Molin only interacted with Qin Xue, not even glancing at Miao Qingqing.
Qin Xue still ate her confinent al but simply joined everyone else at the table. The food she ate was different from the others.
So Chu Molin didn’t serve her any dishes, but he tended to her emotions.
After dinner, while everyone else chatted in the living room, Chu Molin felt stifled.
“Xue’er, I have work to do in my office. I’m going back to work now,” Chu Molin said to his wife before grabbing his hat and belt and leaving.
“What’s wrong with Molin? He seems a bit off,” Nangong Shulan asked her daughter.
“Mom, it’s nothing. Isn’t he always like this? Maybe it’s just the stress of going to the Imperial Capital soon.” Qin Xue tried to smooth things over for her husband.
“Mom, my sister is right. It must be the pressure. Don’t overthink it, or else you’ll make my brother-in-law more stressed,” Qin Yu sided with his brother-in-law.
“That’s right. I’ve never seen any change in my brother-in-law’s expression. He’s always cold-faced.
There’s one exception: when he’s facing my sister, there’s a hint of a smile. Otherwise, he’s always the sa.” Qin Jiale thought that being with his brother-in-law was like being frozen, and he didn’t know how his sister could stand it.
Only Miao Qingqing knew what was going on with Chu Molin. He was still resentful of his family.
Was he resentful of his mother for passing away early or angry at himself for not stopping his father from marrying a stepmother?
Miao Qingqing didn’t know what her grandson was thinking. She only hoped he could understand.
It was ti for him to return ho after so many years. But looking at this family, they clearly knew nothing, which ant her grandson hadn’t told them anything.
