Chapter 378 Wish
Old Mr. Mu wasn't annoyed at being exposed, and said with a smile, "You little girl are really clever. My dull-witted son hasn't figured it out at all after all this time!"
"Wasn't Uncle Mu worried about you? It was precisely because he was concerned about the old gentleman's health that he was fooled by you," Xi Yu replied with a light smile.
"Alas, if I hadn't intervened, I'm afraid my foolish son would never have brought a woman he liked home in his entire life. I was so anxious watching him like that..." Old Mr. Mu sighed mournfully, his hair already completely white.
Mr. Mu was 39 years old when he had his son, but he never expected that his son would still be single at the age of 40. This really made him so worried that his wrinkles increased.
Finally, through a mutated orchid, his son met a woman he could talk to, which made him so happy he wanted to dance.
Although Mr. Mu had only met Xi Hua once, judging from her speech and manners, he felt that she was a very well-mannered woman. Despite being divorced and having a daughter, Mr. Mu did not think these were problems at all.
It was rare for his son to show affection for Xi Hua. When his son said he wanted to go to Z City temporarily to help manage the shop, Mr. Mu was overjoyed and wholeheartedly agreed. But almost a year has passed, and there's still no progress. It's driving him crazy with anxiety!
That's why Mr. Mu pretended to be sick, tricked his son into coming back, and then subtly asked him to invite Xi Hua back to take care of him.
With him watching over things, how could there be any fear that his son and Xi Hua's relationship wouldn't progress?
Xi Yu understood Mr. Mu's plan after a little thought. She also agreed to promote the relationship between her mother and Uncle Mu, but pretending to be sick was not a good idea.
“I understand what the old man means, but if we keep pretending to be sick, it will only make Uncle Mu worry for nothing, and he will be even less interested in developing a romantic relationship.”
Old Mr. Mu frowned and pondered: "You're right. My simple-minded son is missing a brain; he's incredibly stubborn. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been single for forty years! Sigh!"
"Don't worry, sir. I think Mom also has feelings for Uncle Mu. It's just that Mom is troubled by her past experiences and needs more time to adjust. In my opinion, Uncle Mu's gentle personality is just right. Otherwise, too much enthusiasm would scare Mom away," Xi Yu said slowly.
"Is that so?" Old Mr. Mu stroked his beard and nodded. "In that case, I'll use the excuse that your mother needs rehabilitation to stay and see if we can get them to break through that barrier."
The more Mr. Mu thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He could already foresee his son winning the heart of the beauty. If he could have another grandson as smart and well-behaved as Xi Yu, he would have no regrets even if he died!
Mr. Mu looked at Xi Yu with a kind smile: "If you're willing, you can call me Grandpa. If I had a granddaughter like you, I would wake up smiling even in my sleep."
Xi Yu chuckled and went along with him, saying, "Grandpa Mu flattered me, but I can't guarantee that Mom will accept Uncle Mu. After all, this is a matter between the two of them."
“I understand. If it doesn’t work out in the end, I won’t force it. I’ll just feel very sorry,” Mr. Mu said understandingly.
His wife passed away early, and he raised his son alone. Now, his last wish is simply to see his son get married and start a family.
