Shuxin smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you." Then she walked towards the villa. When she arrived in front of the large carved iron gate, she pressed the doorbell but there was no response. Shuxin shouted inside, "Mu Ning Jing, it's me, Shuxin."
Shuxin heard something fall to the ground inside. After about five minutes, Shuxin saw the closed door open from the inside.
The person who opened the door was the man who had gone to look for Mu Ning Jing at school last time. He was also Mu Ning Jing's father.
The man walked out of the villa with a smile and opened the iron gate. "Please come in." Then he led Shuxin into the villa and said, "Ning Ning, why didn't you tell me that you had a classmate coming over? You didn't even prepare anything at home."
Shuxin replied, "I just thought of coming over at the last minute. Mu Ning Jing didn't know beforehand."
"Oh, I see. You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll get the housekeeper to make some side dishes." The man walked towards the kitchen as he spoke.
"Thank you, Uncle. I've already eaten." Shuxin hurriedly stopped him. Her gaze swept across the second floor of the villa. "Isn't Mu Ning Jing at home?"
"Ning Ning is at home." The man turned around and walked towards the stairs. "Come with me. She's taking care of her mother on the second floor."
Shuxin followed the man upstairs.
The man stopped at the door of a room and reached out to knock on the door. "Ning Ning, your classmate is here."
Shuxin stood behind the man. Naturally, her gaze fell on his back. The man was wearing a light blue checkered short-sleeved shirt and black trousers. He was dressed like a successful businessman.
Mu Ning Jing's mother was paralyzed. It seemed that Mu Ning Jing's father was the one who made the money at home.
Mu Ning Jing opened the door. The moment she saw Shuxin, a wave of warmth surged in her heart. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let her tears fall.
Shuxin didn't know what kind of surprise her arrival was to Mu Ning Jing.
When Shuxin saw Mu Ning Jing's red and swollen eyes, she recalled what Tong Qiao had said about Mu Ning Jing crying for half the night. A trace of heartache flashed through her heart.
Shuxin entered the room and saw the woman lying on the bed. She greeted her politely, "Hello, Auntie."
The woman on the bed had a sallow face and dark skin. Because she was too thin, her cheekbones were deeply protruding. At first glance, it was obvious that she had suffered from illness for a long time and her spirit was somewhat dispirited. However, at this time, her eyes were abnormally bright and her expression was quite excited. "You are Shuxin, right?"
"Yes." Shuxin nodded. Then, she looked at Mu Ning Jing with a smile. It seemed that Mu Ning Jing often mentioned her at home.
"Ningning, don't stand there like a fool. Hurry up and pour a glass of water for your classmate," the man instructed Mu Ning Jing. After seeing Mu Ning Jing leave the room, he looked at Shuxin. "Have a seat."
Shuxin sat down on the sofa. The man walked over and wanted to sit down as well. The woman on the bed said, "Zhiwen, don't you have something to do? Go do your thing. Ningning and I will be fine here. "
Lv Zhiwen's body stiffened for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "It's rare that we have guests at home. No matter how busy I am, I don't care about this little bit of time."
The woman said again, "It's not convenient for a man like you to be here and talk with us women."
Lv Zhiwen didn't insist. He walked to the bedside and held the woman's hand. "Then don't talk for too long. You're not in good health. You need to rest more."
