Old Mrs. Shen smiled nonchalantly, "As long as it's something you like to eat, you can make it ready whenever you come over."
The butler was at the side and answered at the right time: "Young mistress doesn't know, every time the old lady knows that you are coming, she always asks the kitchen to prepare the things you like to eat in advance, and tells you everything from drinking to eating. Diet has never been so demanding."
When Li Ning heard this, his heart warmed up, "How can I be so caring and caring as Grandma?"
"It's natural for a family to care for each other, not to mention that you are now the treasure of our Shen family, so you should take extra care of it." Mrs. Shen said with a loving smile.
Li Ning knew that Mrs. Shen's love and care for her was not just because of the child in her womb, the existence of the child only made that love bigger.
Yao Yu, who was sitting across from her, kept eating with lowered eyebrows and focused eyes, striving to be a transparent person from beginning to end, but no matter how deliberately she tried not to pay attention, her ears could not be closed.
Compared with Mrs. Shen's indifference to her, Yao Yu's hands under the table secretly clenched into fists.
Not long after Li Ning put down the chopsticks, Mrs. Shen also put down the chopsticks without much appetite, and Shen Muxing was so angry that he had no appetite, even though he was hungry, he put down the tableware together.
Yao Yu had just been listening to Li Ning and the others, and hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls. Seeing that everyone put down their chopsticks, he felt embarrassed to continue eating. He glanced at the soup in the bowl, and then looked away.
"Ning Ning, you can't go hungry now that you are pregnant with your child. When you get home, remember to ask the servants to prepare supper for you." Mrs. Shen reminded her carefully.
Li Ning nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, grandma, Uncle Zheng is in charge of the house, and he usually takes good care of me and the baby, so you don't have to worry about it."
"That's good." Mrs. Shen nodded in relief.
Yao Yu gritted her teeth beside her. She was still breastfeeding, but no one asked her if she was eating well.
Afterwards, Li Ning chatted with Mrs. Shen for a short time, and left with Shen Muxing on the pretext that it was getting late.
After getting into the car, Shen Muxing immediately couldn't hold back his anger and cursed.
Li Ning knew that he had been suppressing his anger just now, so he didn't make the incident difficult to end.
In fact, this is also the real reason why Li Ning used the excuse to leave early. He was afraid that Shen Jinheng and his son would make provocative words again. Let alone Li Ning, even if Shen Muzhi was present, Shen Muxing would not be able to persuade him.
"Do not be angry."
Li Ning's reassurance was a little weak at this moment.
Not to mention Shen Muxing's temper, even for herself, it's hard not to be angry.
"Oh, Second Uncle is quite good at playing." Shen Muxing sneered sadly.
"He probably knew about Yao Yu and was worried that we would settle accounts after the fall, so he acted out this drama first, trying to settle this matter first, so that we can't make a fuss about it in the future."
At first Li Ning was surprised when he heard Shen Xunling's words and deeds, but soon figured it out.
"He's not afraid to push us into a hurry, he will expose it in public!"
Li Ning said in a deep voice, "He is taking our filial piety to grandma as a gamble."
Shen Muxing was a little confused for a while, and looked at Li Ning questioningly.
"We all know that Jinheng is infertile, but not long after he left the country, he brought back Li Ran who was pregnant. We have not exposed this matter, and he guessed that we were thinking about grandma's health, so we did not expose that matter. So , he dared to do it this time.”
Li Ning spoke slowly, expressing her opinion on this matter.
"Just now, I should have exposed him regardless! Throw those evidences in front of him, and I'll see how he can act!" Shen Muxing kicked the back of the chair violently, and said bitterly.
Li Ning knew in his heart that what he said meant nothing, but even if he returned to the Shen family's mansion again at this moment, he would still choose to forbear, just because his filial piety to Mrs. Shen in his bones was far better than Shen Xunling's father and son.
"Damn it!" Shen Muxing was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but burst out angrily.
"Did Mu Zhi say when he will be back?" Li Ning asked suddenly.
Shen Muxing thought for a while, "Two days at the latest."
Li Ning suggested, "Then don't tell him about this, let's talk about it after he comes back."
After hesitating for a while, Shen Muxing nodded in agreement.
"Since when have you been so angry! Second Uncle played this round beautifully!"
Shen Muxing murmured sadly, his slightly condensed eyes looked thoughtful.
Li Ning knew in his heart that Shen Muxing was not a character who suffered losses, even if he was tricked by Shen Xunling this time and lost, he would always find a way to let this tone out and save the defeat.
At the moment Li Ning didn't persuade him much, thinking that Shen Muxing would not do anything out of line in two days, and when Shen Muzhi came back two days later, everything would be decided.
Li Ning, who has always been independent, did not realize that since some time ago, she was used to seeking Shen Muzhi's opinions everywhere, and she always had to ask him for his opinions on major and minor matters to feel at ease.
This invisible sense of dependence was previously disdained by Li Ning, but now he likes it.
When Li Ning and Shen Muxing returned home, it was getting late, Li Ning went back to his room and changed into home clothes, and when he wanted to go downstairs for a glass of milk, he happened to see Shen Muxing leaving the door.
"Eldest young mistress, the second young master ordered you to prepare supper, do you want to use it?" Seeing Li Ning standing on the stairs on the second floor, the housekeeper asked tentatively.
"No need." Li Ning originally wanted to eat something, but suddenly lost his appetite, he shook his head and went back to the bedroom.
That night, Li Ning wondered from time to time whether she was too soft-hearted about Yao Yu's incident.
After all, the struggle between the heirs of the Shen Group has never been a problem that kindness can solve.
She couldn't help but wonder, if Shen Muzhi faced this matter, what decision would he make?
Is it like her, in order to take care of Mrs. Shen's mood, choose to suffer from being dumb, or will she take the opportunity to catch the second room by surprise?
While thinking wildly, Li Ning saw Yao Yu's slightly flustered face with lowered brows and lowered eyes, and that face suddenly raised his head slowly, with a smug smile in his eyes...
In the morning of the next day, Li Ning went downstairs to the dining room, usually there would be at least one person sitting in the dining room, but at this moment there was only one servant setting the table.
"Did Mu Xing not come back?" Li Ning asked.
The housekeeper shook his head, "Second Young Master didn't come back after going out last night."
Li Ning frowned slightly, then asked again: "Did the young master call yesterday?"
"No." The butler shook his head slightly again.
Li Ning suddenly felt a little irritated for no reason, and his face couldn't help but darken a bit.
"Does the young mistress have any orders?"
The housekeeper didn't know what was going on, and saw that Li Ning's face was not very good, and when Shen Muxing came back last night, he was even more angry, and even wondered if there was some misunderstanding between the two of them.
"It's okay, Uncle Zheng, go get busy." Li Ning replied without saying a word.
