Ning Muchen's smiling face instantly stiffened. Why did she feel that his words were so awkward?!

Turning her head, she realized that the middle-aged men and women that Ao Jingmo's gaze had attracted, did not look very well either. Even the Grandmother Ao beside her who was originally in high spirits had a very ugly expression on her face.

After Ao Jingmo sat down, the curious Ning Muchen couldn't help but ask next to his ear: ”Why did you say that just now?”

”Shut up.” Ao Jingmo scooped up a spoonful of food and stuffed it into her mouth.

”…” This was the first time Ning Muchen had eaten such an expensive dish.

Halfway through their meal, a man in a suit and leather shoes across the table took the lead and said confidently, ”President Ao, we have been planning this carefully since we joined the Fang family. We hope that you can consider it. I'm your elder, and it's one thing if I don't share a bit of the company's shares with your second uncle, but you can't not help me this time. ”

Taking advantage of grandmother's birthday to discuss about cooperation, Ning Muchen felt that she was being a little too insensible towards it.

Looking at the people who were eating in silence, why did it feel like there was not a single trace of warmth in the secret warfare arena during the originally peaceful birthday.

Hearing that, Ao Jingmo did not even look, and directly said: ”The door is at the back, if you want to scram, no one will stop you.”

”You!” Second Uncle was so angry that his teeth were itching. This nephew had clearly made him look like a disgrace.

”Alright, alright!” Grandmother Ao wanted to control the situation a little, ”Old Two, are you trying to make our Ao Family's grandson a joke today?”

Grandmother Ao had already spoken, but Second Uncle held himself back and did not dare to do anything rash.

”...”

After finishing her meal, Ning Muchen followed Ao Jingmo to Grandmother Ao's house.

Grandmother's housekeeper, Uncle Lin, rushed over with a smile. ”Greetings, Young Madam. This way, please.”

Ning Muchen politely smiled, and looked at the five story tall villa, what she was thinking was not that it was magnificent, but rather, it was a huge house, and only the Grandmother Ao lived in it.

Grandmother Ao held Ning Muchen's hand and led her into the hall. Ao Jingmo who was walking behind seemed to be abandoned.

”Grandma, do you live alone?” Ning Muchen asked.

”Yeah, there's no one here to talk to.” Grandmother Ao's words proved Ning Muchen's guess.

Ning Muchen tightly gripped Grandma's hand and comforted her: ”Grandma, then I'll come and accompany you when I have the time in the future, okay? ”Is that okay?”

”Sure, she really is my good grandson's wife.” Grandmother Ao smiled sweetly.

Ning Muchen pursed her lips, her reddish-brown eyes suddenly filled with sadness. The past few days of marriage had been tormenting him, she didn't even have the time to go to the hospital to see how her grandmother was doing.

The three of them sat on the sofa. Ao Jingmo focused on the financial news and continued to chat with Grandmother Ao.

While talking, Grandmother Ao inadvertently asked about Ning Muchen's family matters.

”I... ”I'm an adopted daughter of the Ning family. I've never seen what my biological parents look like since I was young.” Ning Muchen lowered her head and lowered her long eyelashes.
