The story Nian Mu told was relatively long, and she even said that if she had to talk here for a whole day, she might not be able to finish it.

The three children listened carefully, sitting on the carpet and surrounding her, just like a kindergarten teacher playing games for children.

When the housekeeper came in with juice and snacks, he saw this scene, and a look of disbelief flashed across his face.

Taotao, who is usually the most noisy, is sitting there now, neither crying nor fussing, she looks cute, and even... concentrating.

He has always been able to concentrate only on TV animation, but now listening to Nianmu's storytelling, he can be so focused.

The butler said silently in his heart, admiring it.

Nianmu noticed the butler walking in with things, she stopped telling the story and smiled at him.

Taotao was fascinated by what she was listening to, when she suddenly broke off and asked doubtfully, "Sister, what's next?"

"Ms. Nian, young master and young lady, the kitchen has brought some fruit snacks, come and taste them." The butler walked to them with a tray.

Taotao had kept her back to the door, and only then did she notice the butler walking in.

After he put the tray on the coffee table in front of the sofa, Taotao stood up, picked up a glass of juice, and handed it to Nianmu, "Sister, drink it."

"Thank you." Nian Mu took it and took a sip.

Afterwards, the three children also took a cup each.

The housekeeper looked at the big and small people, as if he had broken the warmth in front of him, so he said: "If you need anything, just tell me, I'm downstairs."

Nian Mu nodded.

After the housekeeper left, Taotao asked again: "Sister, what's next?"

Nianmu looked at Taotao eager to hear the whole story immediately, and then glanced at the other two pairs of eyes looking at her. She drank the first-floor juice again and continued to tell them.

the other side.

After the butler delivered the fruit juice and snacks, he came to the tea room. Mr. Mu was drinking tea. He had originally invited someone to play chess, but the other party couldn't come over due to something else. He had nothing to do, so he could only sit in the tea room and drink tea.

"Master, I just finished delivering fruit juice snacks to the young master and the others." The butler reported.

"Oh? What are they doing?" Mr. Mu asked.

"Ms. Nian is telling a story to the children. They are gathered together and are listening." The housekeeper said, he listened to a few words of the story that Nian Mu told, since he didn't know what the story was.

When Zhan Zhan and Ruan Ruan were young, they didn't have a mother to take care of them, and Mu Shaoling didn't give the children much time. Occasionally, he would come and tell the children bedtime stories, so he also read story books. Quite a lot.

But he hadn't read what Nian Mu said.

"Storytelling? Did Zhan Zhan go to listen too?" Mr. Mu asked, Zhan Zhan was the most mature of the three children, so he probably didn't have much interest in these things.

"Yes, young master Zhan Zhan is also there." The butler replied.

Mr. Mu was startled when he picked up the teacup, put it down, and finally pointed to the opposite position, "You can drink tea with me for a while."

"Yes." The butler nodded, sat opposite him, skillfully made tea, and then poured him a new cup of tea.

Seeing the old man tasting slowly without making a sound, he tentatively asked: "Old man, do you have something on your mind?"

"Indeed, my grandson has a really hard life." Mr. Mu sighed. Mu Shaoling was sent to the orphanage when he was born, and was finally found by the Mu family, but his father passed away. .

His mother may not be a good mother, she only fights for power and profit all day long, and never cared about Mu Shaoling's growth.

However, his talent and intelligence were discovered from the moment he returned to Mu's house.

His father passed away, and Mr. Mu raised him as his heir. He was very strict with him, but for Mu Ruicheng, he relaxed a lot.

Since childhood, when Mu Ruicheng was playing games, Mu Shaoling was basically studying.

Cai Xiufen thinks that Mr. Mu is eccentric, and only trains Mu Shaoling as his successor, and doesn't care about Mu Ruicheng at all.

But the old man could see that Mu Shaoling actually envied Ruicheng, but he was used to seeing him in the orphanage since he was a child, and he didn't know how to express himself, so he could only silently complete the tasks assigned to him by the adults.

Therefore, Mr. Mu admired his calm temperament even more, and continued to train him as his heir.

Speaking of happiness, Mu Ruicheng is much happier than Mu Shaoling.

"The young master's life is a bit bitter, but after returning to Mu's house, he will no longer suffer." The housekeeper continued, after all, Mu Shaoling lived a life without worrying about food and clothing after returning to Mu's house.

"For children, do you think it's happier to have fun, or to study?" Mr. Mu asked. The housekeeper has served Mu's family for so many years, and he has been witnessing how Mu Shaoling grew up.

The butler was startled, and suddenly understood what the old man meant when he said life was hard.

Even though he returned to Mu's house, he was studying endlessly and taking various remedial classes all day long, so he had no time for entertainment, watching cartoons, or maintaining relationships with his classmates.

Even if there is no need to worry about food and clothing, but the small body still shoulders an incomparably heavy responsibility. Being crowned as the heir since childhood, no day is easy.

Seeing that the old man drank the tea from the cup, the butler poured him another cup, "The young master is capable and capable, he is the best candidate."

When Mr. Mu was about to hand over the T Group to Mu Shaoling's father, he passed away.

So the old man is anxious to train a new heir, hand over the group to him when he graduates, and then he can retire by himself, so Mu Shaoling studies intensively every day.

When I was young, apart from learning from textbooks, I also had various training classes and interest classes. When I grew up, in addition to studying, I also worked as an intern in a group, starting from the bottom, and learning how to manage and operate the company.

"If his father hadn't left, maybe it would be different now." Mr. Mu thought of the past as well as the present.

It was not easy for Mu Shaoling to fall in love with a woman. Now the life and death of this woman is uncertain. He has not heard from her for many years, and he has not given up.

Sometimes Mr. Mu really thinks that his grandson is amazing.

More remarkable than self-made self.

It's just that life is too bitter.

"Grandpa, your children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You don't have to worry so much. The doctor said that you should keep a relaxed mind now, so that your health will be better." The housekeeper reminded.

Old Master Mu nodded, and asked, "Young Master, haven't you come back yet?"

"not yet."

"Call him and ask him to come back. Just say that Miss Nian is here." Old Master Mu ordered.

"Yes." The butler nodded, stood up and walked out.
