Chapter 859 Competing for favor.
The moment the butler finished speaking, Li Ning's eyes turned to Yao Yu.
When she had a showdown with Yao Yu back then, she had accused Li Ning of embarrassing her at the Ai family banquet, and even hated Li Ning for competing for favor in front of Mrs. Shen, which made her and Jin not like Mrs. Shen.
At that time, Li Ning only thought it was nonsense after hearing these words, but now thinking about it carefully, it seems that there are traces to follow.
When Li Ning entered the door just now, Mrs. Shen's face was expressionless and even slightly solemn.
But as soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Shen immediately smiled.He not only greets him warmly, but also always asks people to prepare what Li Ning likes to eat. He cares and loves Li Ning in every possible way, but he just ignores Yao Yu.
Several people were separated by several meters, but Yao Yu was more like a transparent person.
Although, Mrs. Shen mentioned Li Ning before, she and Yao Yu are destined to have different identities, she clearly stated that Yao Yu's status is lower than hers, and even said that when necessary, she should show the attitude of being the head of the house.
For a moment, Li Ning seemed to understand something again.
Mrs. Shen's thoughts are more conservative and old-fashioned, and she believes that even a family has different statuses.Perhaps, she treated Yao Yu harshly because she deliberately wanted to suppress her and let her understand her identity, and she was also lifting Li Ning to pave the way for the future of Li Ning and Shen Muzhi.
"Xiao Ning, what are you thinking?"
Mrs. Shen suddenly raised her hand and waved it in front of Li Ning's eyes.
Li Ning suddenly came back to his senses, "What did grandma say?"
"I said, let you have a taste of this dessert. If you like it, I will ask someone to bring you some back later." Mrs. Shen pointed to the plates of biscuits and pastries on the table.
"Oh good." Li Ning responded quickly with a smile, picked up a piece and tasted it, "It's delicious, not very sweet, but sweet and not greasy."
"Your taste is lighter, so I knew you would like it." Mrs. Shen nodded and smiled, and immediately told the housekeeper, "Go, pack a few more boxes for Xiao Ning and put them in the car, and take them home to eat."
"Then thank you, grandma." Li Ning picked up another piece and took a bite, "I'm sure Mu Xing will also like the taste, I'm afraid he'll come to grandma to ask for it some other day if he's finished eating it."
Mrs. Shen nodded with a smile, "Yes, Mu Xing, that stinky boy, has liked to eat these things since he was a child. Only Mu Zhi didn't even eat snacks at a young age. This is still like his grandfather. It's just a little old-fashioned."
"Hearing grandma say that, Namuzhi must have been very interesting when he was young." Li Ning continued with a smile.
"Yeah, when the boys were young, even though they were noisy and bouncing around all day long, they were still very interesting."
Having said that, Mrs. Shen sighed with emotion, "However, this person will grow up, and when he grows up, he will have more thoughts, so he won't be able to play around like when he was a child."
"Grandma said that now the three brothers have their own family business to take care of, but all three of them are filial, and they will always find time to come back to visit grandma, and chat with you to relieve boredom."
Mrs. Shen smiled lightly, but said: "Now, I don't expect the three of them to come back to cause trouble for me, but I only hope for this kid in your stomach. I don't know if he will be like his father, and he was also a little boy since he was a child." old-fashioned."
Li Ning's lips twitched and was about to answer, when he suddenly felt Yao Yu's gaze from the opposite side.
She and Mrs. Shen have been chatting about family affairs, but she really forgot that there is Yao Yu sitting opposite, she has been silent all the time, she is really like a transparent person, easily overlooked.
"When the baby is born, grandma will be troubled to help me take care of the baby. It's fine if you don't think the baby is too noisy."
As Li Ning said, he turned his eyes to look at Yao Yu and Jin Yi who was sleeping beside her, "But it seems that Jin Yi has always been very well-behaved."
Mrs. Shen seemed to have just remembered that Yao Yu was sitting beside her, so she also turned her gaze.Although she has always been strict with Yao Yu, her gaze towards Jin Yi is still full of kindness.
"This child is indeed very well-behaved, a bit like Xiang Jinheng's when he was a child."
"Yes, old lady, Xun Ling often said the same thing," Yao Yu said immediately.
"That child Jinheng..."
Mrs. Shen didn't know what to think of, she hesitated to speak and frowned.
When Li Ning and Yao Yu were waiting to hear what she had to say, she shook her head after a long while and said, "It's fine if you don't say anything."
Yao Yu was a little confused, but Li Ning knew many things well, but he didn't want to mention those unhappy things at the moment, which disturbed Mrs. Shen's mood, so he changed the topic casually and chatted about other things.
During this period, Li Ning mostly talked with Mrs. Shen, Yao Yu occasionally interjected a few words, and most of the time remained silent and transparent.
While Li Ning was talking with Mrs. Shen, from time to time he would think of what Yao Yu said before.
She suddenly discovered that although she herself had never intended to compete for favor in front of Mrs. Shen, from Yao Yu's point of view, it seemed to have some meaning.
Although Li Ning didn't think there was anything wrong between himself and Mrs. Shen, he also understood what Yao Yu was talking about before.
After chatting for a while, the butler approached and informed that dinner was ready, and the three of them got up and walked to the restaurant.
At the dinner table, Mrs. Shen was still very concerned about Li Ning, "Xiao Ning, eat more, you are still too thin. Is it because the work in the hospital is too tiring, if it is hard, leave it to others, don't force yourself."
"Grandma, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. Since I was pregnant, I have handed over most of the work to other people, and most of the time I go to work is just for meetings or doing some paperwork, so I won't be tired. And we The obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital is also well-equipped, even if the delivery date is expected, it can be handled at any time, which is more convenient and safer than at home."
"That's true. The hospital has complete conditions and it's your own place. It's indeed more convenient. But you can't be careless. You should be careful." Mrs. Shen warned gently.
"Okay grandma, I will." Li Ning responded obediently with a smile.
During the meal, Li Ning always felt that Yao Yu seemed to have something on his mind, he always looked listless and thoughtful with his eyelids down, and glanced at Mrs. Shen from time to time, as if he wanted to say something.
The relationship between Li Ning and Yao Yu has long been bad, so he didn't bother to pretend to be friendly with her in front of Mrs. Shen, so from the moment he entered the door, Li Ning didn't take the initiative to talk to Yao Yu, and Yao Yu always acted cautiously, like Like a frightened rabbit, for fear of saying something wrong, he also hesitated to greet Li Ning.
But now Li Ning thought about it, and suddenly glanced at Yao Yu, but turned to Mrs. Shen and said, "Miss Yao seems to have something on her mind?"
