In his heart, Lin Mu genuinely wished Zhou Xun could find her family, because for Zhou Xun, family was what she desired most, more important than fa and wealth. Although Zhou Xun had found her place, her ho would be the place where Zhou Xun feels the safest, and fate seed sowhat unfair to Zhou Xun.
Elder Ren sighed, "I'm worried that Xiaoxun might suddenly not be able to handle it."
"Master Ren, don't worry, isn't there still ? There will definitely be no problem." Lin Mu assured.
"Yes, Lin Mu, thank you, you know my greatest wish now is to reunite with Xiaoxun. I know I've owed her too much, so I can only do my best to make it up to her." Elder Ren said.
"Master, I understand all of this, rest assured."
"Alright then, you keep busy, I need to prepare for tomorrow's event."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xun glanced at Lin Mu from the passenger seat, "What did Master Ren say to you?"
"He didn't say much, just wanted to be there tomorrow and have a few good drinks with him." Lin Mu laughed.
Zhou Xun looked at Lin Mu with so suspicion, "Why does your expression seem off?"
"Um… what's off?"
"It's just a bit off, though I can't really say where. Your expression for starters." Zhou Xun stared at Lin Mu and said.
"Co on, it's getting late. Let's go ho." Lin Mu waved his hand and started the car, driving out of the supermarket parking lot.
Zhou Xun didn't ask much more on the way, just occasionally furrowed her brow at Lin Mu, which made Lin Mu feel uncomfortable. Although he assured Elder Ren there wouldn't be a problem, Lin Mu also had doubts. What if Zhou Xun lost control and had an outburst on the spot? That would be disastrous.
But Zhou Xun was a sensible girl, perhaps because of her life experiences, she was more understanding than girls her age, and even older girls.
Presumably, she would understand Master Ren, not to ntion Zhou Xun could truly feel everything Master Ren did for her. So, Zhou Xun should be able to understand Ren. Of course, this was just Lin Mu's speculation. Zhou Xun's actual reaction would only be known when Master Ren told her. At this ti, Lin Mu had no courage to tell Zhou Xun that Master Ren was her biological grandfather.
So, everything depended on tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Lin Mu specially wore his formal Lomon Suit, for after all, it was Elder Ren's birthday, and Lin Mu couldn't be as casual as usual. Attending such an occasion, wearing a formal suit was a sign of respect! Zhou Xun also changed into a proper outfit and applied light makeup. Since the night before, Zhou Xun had been consistently excited, which made Lin Mu amused. Is this what familial love is?
Around nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Mu went out with Zhou Xun, driving to Elder Ren's residence. Elder Ren did not usually live in Wancheng, but had a villa there, and he specifically returned to Wancheng, to his villa, mainly to celebrate Zhou Xun's birthday this ti.
Lin Mu drove Zhou Xun to Elder Ren's house, and Elder Ren was already waiting at the door.
"Hi, Master Ren!" Lin Mu cheerfully got out of the car and greeted.
"Hello, President Ren." Zhou Xun standing beside Lin Mu also greeted.
"Ah, Xiaoxun, Lin Mu, I've been waiting for you for a long ti, glad you ca!" Elder Ren looked very pleased, he said with a big smile on his face.
"Yes, Master, Xiaoxun and I brought a set of massage equipnt, it's beneficial for older people's blood circulation if you have so free ti to relax." Lin Mu smiled.
"Haha, good, good, thank you for your trouble." Elder Ren laughed happily, "I indeed needed a set of massage equipnt."
"Seems we made the right purchase." Lin Mu chuckled.
"President Ren, as long as you like it." Zhou Xun remarked.
"I do enjoy it, anything from Xiaoxun, I like very much." Elder Ren replied, "Xiaoxun, Lin Mu, let's go inside and chat."
Lin Mu and Zhou Xun nodded, walking into the house and sitting down on the sofa in the living room.
"Lin Mu, Xiaoxun, having you two here to celebrate this old man's birthday makes truly happy." Elder Ren said with a delighted smile after sitting down.
"Master, don't say that, you're still considered our elder, it's only right for us to wish you well!" Lin Mu said with a smile.
"Yes, President Ren, it's what we young people should do." Zhou Xun responded with a grin.
"Xiaoxun, what do you think about this old man? I want to hear the truth and not just flattery." Elder Ren asked with a smile.
Lin Mu knew this was Elder Ren testing the waters, so might not think the recognition between grandfather and granddaughter was such a big deal, but the parties involved would definitely have their thoughts. After all, everyone has their own thoughts.
Zhou Xun, however, did not perceive Elder Ren's intent, nor did she think that far ahead. Sotis she wished Elder Ren were her grandfather, but never imagined he was truly her biological grandfather.
"President Ren, eting you has been the greatest opportunity of my life, that's why I have so success now. In this world, only two people truly care for , one is Brother Lin, and the other is you, President Ren. You've cared for like a grandfather, and I've talked with Brother Lin about it. If you're willing, I'd love to acknowledge you as my grandfather." Zhou Xun said with a smile, and indeed she spoke from the heart.
Elder Ren was indeed a significant turning point in Zhou Xun's life, leading her step by step toward career success. Without Elder Ren, Zhou Xun wouldn't have achieved such success in the entertainnt industry currently. Even if Lin Mu wanted to groom Zhou Xun for success in showbiz, the chances would not be as great, nor would success co as quickly. Considering that even soone as famous as Fan Xiaobing, the top female star dostically, took about ten years from rising to becoming a superstar, ten years is enough ti for a young girl to turn into an older woman. Yet Zhou Xun had only taken a brief several months to rise to beco a top dostic actress.
Hearing Zhou Xun's words, Elder Ren was assured, at least in Zhou Xun's heart, she did not reject, and had already accepted him as grandfather, indeed a good revelation.
"Haha, Xiaoxun, hearing those words makes an old man very happy." Elder Ren laughed and said.
"As long as Elder Ren is happy, that's good." Zhou Xun nodded.
"It's still a little early for lunch, would you care to accompany this old man fishing? Then I can cook you fish soup for lunch once we return." Elder Ren suggested, getting up.
"Today Elder Ren is the star, of course, no problem." Lin Mu laughed.
