Chapter 1313 Learn to Face
Mu Ning is a careful person. If he does something seriously, he will certainly do it well.
Mu Ning went back home on New Year's Day and stayed with her parents for a day. Her parents didn't know about Zhuang Shiyuan's situation yet. As for how Mu Ning should tell her family, no less than ten servants at the Zhuang family had already told her one after another.
The gifts brought home were all personally selected by the third wife of the Zhuang family. When Huo Yan sent Mu Ning to Jingyuan in the morning, she personally delivered them upstairs.
The Zhuang family treated Mu Ning's family well, except that his son had been lying in bed. However, if you want to get something, you have to pay for it.
Mu Ning's parents' lives had improved significantly thanks to their crops, and there was no trace of poverty in their home anymore. Mu Shiqing was a man who knew how to take care of himself. Twenty years ago, Mu Shiqing was fair and handsome. Although he was older now, he didn't look old. With a change of clothes and a few more dollars in hand, he could be a respectable person when he went out.
Mu Ning's mother had been tortured by life, and no amount of dressing up could make up for it. The more youthful and attractive Mu Shiqing looked, the older Mu Ning's mother looked. No matter what kind of clothes she wore, she couldn't look good, and no amount of makeup could fix the blemishes on her face.
Any woman with a sense of crisis would start to panic in such a situation, but Mu Ning's mother was a very casual woman. She only cared about getting by. Was beauty enough to make a living? She couldn't bear to spend even a few hundred yuan on basic skincare, let alone skincare. She'd be better off buying her husband some clothes or saving some for her daughter's dowry.
Now that Mu Ning's mother has started earning a salary, she's thinking about saving money for her daughter's dowry. She didn't have the means before, and really couldn't give her more, but now that she has, she has to save the money.
The product Mu Ning's mother was using was the flagship product at Zhuang Shiqi's hospital. Other women saw their crow's feet, if not completely disappear, significantly diminish after a week of use, but Mu Ning's mother wasn't seeing any results.
Mu Ning's mother is only in her forties, and she already has age spots. A forty-year-old woman should be mature and beautiful, but Mu Ning's mother looks like a seventy-year-old. Not only is her skin tanned, but the wrinkles around her eyes look like they were carved in. She's been using the youth serum for two months, and it's only brightened a little, but the other effects are just...
Every time Mu Ning sees her mother, she reminds her to moisturize, apply facial mask, and spray essence. It's not that she doesn't trust her mother, she is just like that. She doesn't care about her appearance at all and thinks it's useless to do these things. At her age, if she looks younger, can she still be a model?
Such a good product, but Mu Ning's mother stopped using it after two months. The same thing happened to this lady. She stopped using it as soon as it started to work. Products worth tens of thousands of dollars were all used by Mu Shiqing. Otherwise, how could Mu Shiqing be getting younger and younger?
On New Year's Day, Huo Yan stayed at the Mu family for more than ten minutes, said some personal words, expressed his sincerity, and then left.
The banker is very busy today. Mu Ning has come back to celebrate the New Year, which is a great favor from the banker.
Mu Ning is not free now. No matter whether she is attending classes or learning to drive, someone will take her there and pick her up when she is done. Her life is just a straight line. When she is in class, she goes to school and the hospital. When she is on vacation, she goes to the driving school and the hospital. She has no time to go shopping or go home. She has not even set foot in the banker's house in the past two months.
Mu Ning increasingly understood why the Zhuang family was so nice to her in the beginning. It was because they wanted to keep her here to accompany Zhuang Shiyuan.
Three or four months have passed since Zhuang Shiyuan lay there, and he is still like this. Mu Ning is fine, as she has gotten used to Zhuang Shiyuan who only knows how to breathe. She lives in the hospital alone, accompanying her boyfriend.
She always believed that Zhuang Shiyuan would wake up, perhaps tomorrow, or in a few days. She looked forward to it every day and never gave up. Such a wealthy Zhuang would not let Zhuang Shiyuan sleep for the rest of his life. She was still so relieved and her mentality was still so good.
When Shiyuan's mother was worried, Mu Ning would persuade her. Thanks to Mu Ning, Shiyuan's mother did not become depressed.
"Are you going back there today?" Mu Ning's mother asked while eating.
Mu Ning nodded, "Well, Shi Yuan said he hopes to see me in the evening."
Mu Ning's mother was naturally pleased that Zhuang Shiyuan loved her daughter so much. The main reason was that the Zhuang family, with its background, didn't dislike her daughter. Of course, she was happy. But...
"You're being controlled like this before you even get married. Mom can't even see you when she wants to. Given the situation in their family, will you become a member of the banker's family completely after you get married? Mom and Dad will never see you again?" Mu Ning's mother asked in a low voice.
In the past, I just hoped that my daughter could find a good family. As long as my daughter could live a good life, she would do anything.
But now, I want to see my daughter every day. She only has this one child.
Mu Ning smiled. "No, Zhuang Shiyuan is very busy right now, so he can't do without me at home. Once he's done with this busy period and has some free time, I'll be able to come back more often. Maybe, Zhuang Shiyuan and I can live here for a while in the future."
Mu Ning's mother's face was filled with sorrow, and she barely ate two bites of her meal. "Really?"
She doubted the truth of her daughter's words. How could a mother not feel the changes in her daughter? Unlike before, she would not take the initiative to express whether she was happy or not. Even if she asked, her daughter would just give a few perfunctory answers.
Mu Ning's mother's face was full of sorrow, and she felt that this was no different from selling her daughter.
Because the banker was rich and powerful, he had given the Mu family so many things. It could also be said that everything in their family was given by the banker, so Mu Ning's mother was so angry that she saved money for her daughter.
"Ning'er, don't hide anything from your mother." Mu Ning's mother burst into tears as soon as she said this. Mu Ning was frightened and quickly threw down her chopsticks and sat next to her mother.
"What's wrong? I'm not hiding anything from you, Mom. Zhuang Shiyuan has been good to me for a long time. He paid for my tuition and living expenses for two years of high school. Have you forgotten? It's just... well, they are very busy. In fact, I rarely see Zhuang Shiyuan. He started learning business at such a young age, and he often travels all over the country. I feel bad for him. Whenever he goes on a business trip, I worry..."
Mu Ning spoke as if it were true. Thinking of Zhuang Shiyuan who was still lying in bed, Mu Ning's face became even worse. This was not an act.
Mu Ning's mother looked at her daughter and patted her hands. "It's okay. He comes from a wealthy family, and the burden he carries on his shoulders is beyond our comprehension. Don't complain to him about this. Be sensible, okay?"
When Mu Ning's mother heard her daughter say this, she felt a lot more relieved.
As long as it's not what she thought, it's fine. How many women who marry into wealthy families look glamorous on the surface, but are actually suffering? She was afraid that her daughter would hide it from her. As long as it's not like that, it's fine.
