Muted - Chapter 60
Secretary Jiang was not surprised when he received the call from Mu Ran.
He has lived for so many years, and all kinds of people have met. If there are really people who can’t plot for himself, he hasn’t seen them. It was just that when Mu Ran was treated in the nursing home, he had contacted him a lot. His quiet politeness at that time still made a good impression in his heart, so Secretary Jiang was slightly disappointed.
Mu Ran said a few embarrassments first, and hesitated to hear them. Secretary Jiang waited patiently, but waited for Mu Ran to explain things clearly. When he asked in a low voice if he could help him to legally adopt his child, Secretary Jiang was a little embarrassed for a while, and even looked strangely. At a glance at the phone, I wondered if I heard it wrong.
Mu Ran finally found the courage to speak out. After a while, the phone did not respond. He clenched the phone a little nervously, and asked his throat dry: “If it’s too much trouble …”
“You wait there first, and I’ll contact you later.” Secretary Jiang suddenly interrupted him, and then hung up.
Mu Ran took the phone and explained it briefly to her aunt. After she agreed, she took her child back to the rescue center and waited. The child didn’t know if he had just been scared, clutching Mu Ran’s hand tightly, and he was reluctant to let go for a second. Mu Ran sat in the chair, then picked up the child and sat on her lap, lowering her head and continually coaxing her so that she should not be afraid.
They waited for a long time, and Secretary Jiang called and asked Mu Ran to take the child directly. He also kept his cell phone on recently, and someone would contact him for follow-up procedures.
Mu Ran thanked him incoherently for the phone call. Secretary Jiang interrupted him and asked, “Are there any other difficulties?” Mu Ran had to raise children. Naturally, he had to spend money. When he asked, he wanted to give him money. Some help.
“No, I have troubled you, thank you so much!” Mu Ran stood up, speaking with some sincerity and fear.
Secretary Jiang paused, stopped talking, and hung up.
Mu Ran held the mobile phone, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and his heart was still a little bit ashamed. He said clearly that he would no longer cause trouble for others.
He shook his head, and no longer thought about it, bent down and carried the child out. As soon as I left the house, I met the aunt who received the reception. Mu Ran was a little nervous. The aunt didn’t say anything, just let him take good care of the children, and then sent them out of the rescue station.
On the way home, the child kept his arms around Mu Ran’s neck and leaned against him. Sometimes she was tired, Mu Ran put her down and led her away, and she was not troubled. She followed Mu Ran tightly in small steps, Mu Ran left her, and Mu Ran stopped her. Mu Ran was so distressed that she followed the steps, squatted down and looked at her softly and asked, “Will I be your father in the future?”
The child looked at Mu Ran, with tears in his eyes, and whispered, “Aba is dead.”
Mu Ran hesitated and somehow felt his nose was sore. He touched the child’s head and said with a smile, “I will be the dad in the future, shall we live well together?”
The child reached out and wiped away the blurry tears, watching Mu Ran nodded gently, and answered very seriously, “Okay.”
The smile on Mu Ran’s mouth widened. He reached out and hugged the child. He thought to himself, “You have to think of a name.” “What name is good.” After thinking for a long time, I thought of a few names. After another denial, I decided to go home and look up the dictionary before making a decision.
Secretary Jiang on the other side was talking about Mu Ran in Yi Haizhao’s study. He heard that Mu Ran had adopted a homeless child, and he didn’t ask for anything. Yi Haizhao frowned and became silent.
Secretary Jiang looked at his expression, and then said, “He told me this on the phone. About Yi Tian, he didn’t ask a word.” This is actually what surprised Secretary Jiang. He thought it was Mu. However, he would ask him about Yi Tian’s situation. Who knew that Mu Ran behaved as if he had completely forgotten this person.
Yi Haizhao didn’t speak, and he groaned for a long time before saying to Secretary Jiang: “Okay, so be it for now. As long as he can stay there in peace, if he asks anything, he will satisfy him as much as possible.”
Secretary Jiang nodded and responded. Seeing nothing else, he left Yi’s house. Secretary Jiang left for a long time, Yi Haizhao thought about it, still called Yi Tian and asked him to come back for dinner at night.
Since Mu Ran left, Yi Tian rarely returned.
But he is not fooling around outside. On the contrary, he is more serious and focused than before, and can even be said to be devoted to work and not be moved by other things.
It goes without saying that the Yi family itself is a pillar project, and its leader in the industry has always been very solid. What makes Yi Tian outstanding is that he has expanded the Yi family’s career into new fields, and the benefits and returns brought by these fields in the same period of time have even surpassed the momentum of those pillar projects.
The company is getting better and better by him, and he is becoming more and more edgy. Nobody in the whole Yi family does not recognize his efforts and achievements.
But because of this, Yi Haizhao found that he could not speak to Yi Tian more and more. This son has done too well. What he raised, not raised, even above his expectations, he did it. How can he be a father?
It was a little late when Yi Tian came back. Several elders in the family were waiting for him to eat. He apologized first and explained that the company will delay until now.
Uncle Yi Tian shook his head. “Work hard is a good thing, but don’t try too hard. Health is the most important thing.”
Yi Tian’s mother frowned and looked at him, her face was worried, “How can I see that I am thinner than the last time, have you eaten well?”
Yi Tian nodded, comforted his mother, and turned to talk about the company with a few elders.
Yi Tian’s mother frowned even deeper, her own child could not see it, Yi Tian’s complexion was much worse than before. She opened her mouth slightly, but said nothing. After eating, Yi Tian’s mother walked back to the bedroom and called Su Wenyang: “Wenyang, what is Yi Tian busy with recently, how can I see people not very well?”
Su Wenyang immediately replied, saying that Yi Tian had recently talked about a new case and was too busy to take a break, so he looked worse. He simply answered, without hesitation, fearing that Yi Tian’s mother had a little doubt.
Yi Tian’s mother listened to the answer and was a little relieved. She told Su Wenyang a few words to let him watch Yi Tian rest more, and then hung up.
Su Wenyang was helpless on the phone holding his face. Where did he dare to let Yi Tian’s mother know that Yi Tian now chews stomach medicine every day for sweets, and can only fall asleep on sleeping pills at night.
It was already eight o’clock when dinner was finished, and Yi Tian sat for a while, and got up to go home at almost nine o’clock. His mother stayed here to live. Yi Tian only said that he had to go to the company early in the morning. The old house was far from convenient, and he left without waiting for his mother to say more.
Yi Tian’s mother looked at the back of Yi Tian’s departure, and when the door closed, she turned to look at Yi Haizhao, her voice trembling slightly. “My son is like this, are you satisfied?” Then he turned upstairs.
The atmosphere in the living room was a bit embarrassing for a while. Uncle Yi Tian smiled uncomfortably and said, “What’s wrong?”
Yi Haizhao sat on the sofa, frowning tightly, without saying a word.
As soon as Yi Tian’s car left the door of the house, he received a call from Lu Yuan. Now he occasionally eats with He Xudong and Lu Yuan, but hardly ever goes out with them again. Lu Yuan hasn’t seen him for a long time.
Yi Tian frowned and was about to refuse, but Lu Yuan said over there: “Hurry up! I tell you, there is a surprise, an absolute surprise!”
Yi Tian shook his head, just wanting to ask him what he was doing, and Lu Yuan hung up the phone and yelled, “But you have to regret it all your life!”
Yi Tian laughed. After thinking about it, he did not get together with them for a long time. He turned the car and went to find Lu Yuan them.
