Chapter 355 Happy Birthday to the Old Lady
In Jiang Chengyu's bedroom in the Goldsmith Bay Villa, the group portrait is perfectly hung on the wall; the azure sea and the white yacht set off the two handsome men, making them unparalleled in the world.
Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji in the painting are even closer, with sweet smiles that are warm and romantic, as if showing the most beautiful moments in the world to the fullest.
The sunlight shines into the room through the window, creating soft patches of light and shadow.
Chou Bao was conscientiously writing big characters on his desk with a brush. He was mumbling as he wrote, "Little Daddy, I work so hard to learn these every day. Will Dad really be happy if he knows?"
Jiang Chengyu stopped drawing the birthday star picture, looked up at Chou Bao, and asked, "Chou Bao, are you learning knowledge for others or for yourself?"
Chou Bao stopped writing, thought for a moment, and replied, "Of course I am the one who is talking."
Jiang Chengyu smiled slightly and continued to draw the birthday picture in his hand: "That's it, why are you still struggling?"
Chou Bao put down the brush in his hand, turned around and sat on the table, staring at Mu Xiaoji in the portrait, and asked, "Little Daddy, why doesn't Dad come to see me?"
Jiang Chengyu stopped writing and looked at Mu Xiaoji in the photo with mixed feelings. He lowered his head and explained, "Didn't I tell you? Renxin Hospital is very busy. Do you want to see him?"
Chou Bao's young face was full of curiosity, and he asked again: "What kind of person is my father?"
Jiang Chengyu answered without hesitation: "He is a person with 'boundless love' and a heart for the world."
After hearing this, Choubao's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and he said in a little adult tone, "Then I really want to meet him!"
Jiang Chengyu smiled and said, "It will be soon. Your grandmother will be 88 years old soon. He will definitely come back to congratulate her. You will be able to see him then!"
After saying that, Jiang Chengyu couldn't help but feel a little scared, and murmured in his heart: "Xiao Ji, when you see Chou Bao, will you show mercy to me?"
Jiang Chengyu was heartbroken and continued to confess: "Xiao Ji, I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just ask you to let me die in a less ugly way."
Choubao felt that the room had become quiet. He turned around to look at Jiang Chengyu, only to see him squatting on the ground in a daze, holding a brush in his hand.
Chou Bao gently slid down the chair, walked to Jiang Chengyu, put his arms around his neck, and asked softly, "Little Daddy, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Chengyu came back to his senses, looked at Chou Bao lovingly and said, "No, have you finished writing?"
Choubao replied obediently, "Well, do you want to go get it checked out?"
Jiang Chengyu said trustingly: "No, you go and help little daddy paint those little boys! Be careful not to make them dirty, otherwise grandma's birthday party won't be completed."
Chou Bao nodded and said confidently: "I understand, little daddy, don't worry."
After that, he walked to the paint, selected the brush and necessary paint, then walked to the boys of different shapes and began to touch up carefully.
Jiang Chengyu looked at Chou Bao's focused look, and his thoughts drifted back to Mu Xiaoji: "Xiaoji, Chou Bao is so sensible, you will definitely like him very much when you see him in the future."
While Choubao was coloring the boy, he secretly looked at Jiang Chengyu. He could feel that his little dad seemed to be worried, but he didn't understand the world of adults.
He only knew that he had to study hard to make his little dad happy. He was filled with anticipation as he thought about meeting his father whom he had never met.
Kuncheng High-speed Railway Station was crowded with people. Mu Xiaoji, Mu Huiying, and Dean Guo walked out of the station with their suitcases.
Mu Xiaoji waved his hand to stop a taxi, and the driver hurriedly got out, opened the trunk, and put the suitcase away.
The three of them got into the car quickly. Mu Xiaoji sat in the passenger seat and said, "Goldsmith Bay Villa." The driver responded and stepped on the accelerator to merge into the traffic.
Mu Huiying said with emotion: "We haven't been to Kuncheng since Xiaoji graduated. It feels like a big change!"
Mu Xiaoji said with a guilty smile: "Mom, I'll take you for a good look this time. It's not that Kuncheng has changed a lot, it's that I'm an unfilial son. I haven't had the chance to take you to see Kuncheng properly."
Dean Guo understood and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are so busy at work, how can you have the time?"
In the Goldsmith Bay Villa, several security guards were standing in the middle of the living room, holding up the picture of the God of Birthday drawn by Jiang Chengyu, while Chou Bao and Jiang Chengyu were giving orders from the side.
"Higher." Jiang Chengyu shouted.
Choubao's childish voice came: "The right side is too low and crooked."
Jiang Chengyu said hurriedly: "Yes, raise your right hand a little higher and lift it up a little."
Shen Rou came out with two plates of fruit, placed them on the coffee table, and said with a doting smile, "Little brat, look at what you can do."
Chou Bao cheered and said, "Grandma, I drew those little boys. What do you think? Cute, right?"
Shen Rou smiled and praised: "Yes, yes, our stinky baby is the best."
Xiao Yue helped the old lady out and saw that the Goldsmith Bay Villa was decorated with lights and full of festive atmosphere.
The old lady was wearing a red Tang suit with the Chinese character for longevity on it. She had gray hair and looked very happy. When she saw the picture of the birthday star, she praised, "Is this the picture of the birthday star that Cheng Yu drew?"
Jiang Chengyu happily walked to the old lady, knelt down, clasped his fists and said: "I wish you good fortune like the endless waters of the East China Sea, and a long life like the evergreen pines of the Southern Mountains."
The old lady quickly reached out and held Jiang Chengyu's arm and said, "Okay, okay, kid, get up quickly. You are so thoughtful!"
Chou Bao followed suit and ran over, kneeling and kowtowing, saying, "I wish grandma good health and happiness, and may she always smile happily."
"Oh, you are such a good boy. Here, grandma will give you a big red envelope." The old lady smiled from ear to ear.
As Chou Bao received the red envelope, he said happily, "Little Daddy, a big red envelope."
Jiang Chengyu smiled contemptuously and asked: "You bought so many stocks, and you still need this big red envelope?"
Choubao responded happily: "That's different. This is a red envelope given by my grandmother, the old birthday girl. It has a profound meaning." Choubao's words made everyone laugh, and the whole villa was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Chou Bao's eyes turned, and he thought of something. He pulled the old lady and said, "Grandma, today is your birthday. The wings of the bird I rescued that day have healed. Let's go to the yard and release it!"
The old lady smiled and asked, "Is the little bird healed?"
Choubao tilted his little head back and nodded, saying, "Yes, I took good care of it myself."
"Okay, let's go see the bird and send it home." The old lady held Choubao's hand lovingly. Xiao Yue supported the old lady tightly and walked towards the pharmacy in the backyard.
The sun shines warmly on every corner of Goldsmith Bay Villa, and the breeze blows gently, bringing the fragrance of flowers and plants.
Jiang Chengyu walked briskly to the door of the pharmacy first. The door slowly opened under his hands and he stepped in.
Choubao raised his little face and said to the old lady in a sweet and considerate manner: "Grandma, please wait for me in the yard. I will go in and get the bird out."
The old lady's wrinkled face showed a kind smile, and she responded cheerfully: "Okay, I'll wait for you. Take your time, baby."
After a while, Jiang Chengyu came out with Choubao, carrying a cage containing a bird.
Jiang Chengyu walked lightly to an open space in the yard and gently opened the door of the cage.
Choubao couldn't wait to stretch out his little hand and carefully grabbed the bird out, keeping his hands as tight as possible for fear of hurting the bird.
"Grandma, please take it." Choubao said as he raised his head high and handed the bird to the old lady.
The old lady quickly stretched out her hands to take the bird. Her hands were trembling slightly, full of cherishment for this little life.
She murmured devoutly: "Amitabha, may you be well and your family be reunited."
After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes, prayed softly on his forehead, and then stretched out his hands and sent the bird out.
The grandparents, Xiao Yue and Jiang Chengyu all followed the little bird with their eyes full of expectations. They all hoped that the little bird could return safely to its home and fly freely under the vast sky.
Chou Bao watched the bird fly farther and farther, until it turned into a small black dot and disappeared. Then he retracted his gaze and turned to look at Jiang Chengyu, his big eyes flickering, and suggested:
"Little Daddy, the weather is so nice today and the sun is so warm, let's move the little white rabbit and the little white mouse out to bask in the sun!"
Jiang Chengyu looked at Choubao's expectant expression and couldn't help but smile and said, "I'll listen to you, let's go now." After that, the two turned around and walked towards the pharmacy.
At this moment, Aunt Zhao hurried out of the house, happily shouting as she ran: "Madam, the young master is back."
Xiao Yue supported the old lady, a happy smile instantly appeared on his face and he said, "Grandma, the young master is back, let's go and see him."
The old lady was stunned at first, then her smile became even more intense, but she still pretended to complain: "The brat finally came back to see me.
The last time he left, he was very sick, which made me, an old woman, very worried. But after I sent him away, I haven't heard from him since.
It's been three years, and you still don't even bother to reply to me. You really have no conscience."
As the old lady spoke, she quickened her pace and walked towards the living room with Xiao Yue's support. She looked anxious and expectant.
It seems as if the three years of waiting have turned into deep longing and concern at this moment, and I am looking forward to seeing my eldest grandson whom I haven't seen for a long time.
As soon as the old lady walked into the living room, Mu Xiaoji's face was filled with a smile as bright as the sun. He took a step forward and was about to kneel down.
Xiao Yue was quick to reach out and hold Mu Xiaoji's arm. The old lady also quickly reached out to stop him, and said with a doting look in her eyes: "No need, no need! You have a disability, so there's no need to be polite!"
Mu Xiaoji smiled and nodded, then helped the old lady walk slowly to the sofa and sat down.
Mu Xiaoji introduced the old lady: "Grandma, this is my mother Mu Huiying, and this is my adoptive father Uncle Guo Chengyu."
The Guo Mu couple smiled and said in unison: "Happy birthday, old lady."
The old lady smiled and responded: "You have come all the way here, please take a seat, you are welcome."
Mu Xiaoji reached out and picked up an exquisite box from the side, gently opened it and said, "Grandma, this is the white jade Buddha that I asked my friend to get from the Potala Palace to pray for you."
The old lady's face was full of joy: "Oh, it's so beautiful, thank you for your trouble!"
Mu Xiaoji said happily: "Grandma, it's nothing, this is what I should do."
Mu Xiaoji looked up and saw the picture of the birthday star on the wall. He couldn't help but praise it, "This birthday star picture is pretty good. My dad must have made it!"
The old lady blurted out: "It was painted by Cheng Yu and Chou Bao."
Mu Huiying and Dean Guo hadn't reacted yet, with happy smiles on their faces, they admired and praised: "Not bad, Yu'er is really versatile."
But at this moment, Shen Rou and Xiao Yue were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Mu Xiaoji's face turned pale, his brows furrowed, and he asked in confusion: "Cheng Yu and Chou Bao?"
The old lady praised happily, "Yes, Choubao has mentioned it several times. Is my father so busy at Renxin Hospital? When can he go home to see Choubao?"
Oh, by the way, you haven’t seen Choubao yet! Xiaoyue, go find Choubao and tell him that daddy is back. Go now! "
