Chapter 0005

When Mu Jia received a call, Mu Jiayi had just walked out of Jiahua's office and was about to drive home.

"Jiayi, our parents said that we might come over in a few days. Let's see if you have time. I'll let them come over. Let's have a meal together?"

Mu Jiayi pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time, "Sister, I've been very busy recently, and there are a lot of things at the office, why don't we make an appointment next time."

"My dad said that you called home before and said that you would not go back during the New Year. That's why they decided to come here during this time. If you don't meet them, he will feel uncomfortable. "

Mu Jia knew her younger brother's temper, and she could hear the reluctance in his younger brother's tone through the phone.However, as a daughter and a sister, she still hopes that her brother can integrate into the family.

"Sister, I've been really busy recently. If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhou Chengfang, he..."

"Jiayi...it's been so many years, are you still unable to let go? I know you feel uncomfortable, but you can't always trap yourself in the past. I hope you can give my mother a chance...OK?"

On the other end of the phone, Mu Jia's tone was almost pleading.Mu Jiayi felt a little uncomfortable, and he sighed deeply, "Okay, I get it. As for the time, you can make an appointment with them. I usually have nothing to do at night."

"That's really great!" Mu Jia's tone immediately became cheerful, "I'll call them right away and make an appointment with them!"

"okay."

"The weather has cooled down a lot recently, so you can wear more clothes so you don't catch a cold. Also, don't always order takeout. Tell me what you want to eat, and she will make it for you. The same goes for work. I know your office is busy at the end of the year. But you also need to pay attention to your body, you know?"

"I see, you too, take care of yourself."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Jiayi sank into the sofa.He closed his eyes, rubbed his swollen temples, and sighed uncontrollably, using this method to relieve his discomfort at the moment.

Since childhood, he and Mu Jia have been very close. Mu Jia is a few years older than him, and he does have a bit of an older sister.He will let him do everything, and everything will start with him. Even his biological mother probably won't treat him like Mu Jia.It can even be said that Mu Jia treated him really the best person in the world.

But even so, in his cognition, there is always a wall between him and Mu Jia, a wall that is not easy to be pushed, or a load-bearing wall.This wall separates him and Mu Jia, and it often makes the scar in his heart ache.

In fact, he and Mu Jia are half siblings.

His father and Mu Jia's mother were originally lovers, but they were separated.Due to family reasons, his father had no choice but to marry his childhood sweetheart Fa Xiao, who was Mu Jiayi's mother.

Not long after the marriage, there was him.Six years after his birth, his mother died of breast cancer.In less than two years, his father married his second wife, Mu Jia's mother.

It turned out that after Mu Jia's mother broke up with her father, she found out that she was pregnant.Afraid of disturbing his father, he gave birth to the child himself and brought him up.

When Mu Jia's mother came, he was already eight years old, and he already had a basic understanding of himself.Although Mu Jia's mother was very kind to him, treating him like a biological son, he still felt that she was not his mother, and there was always a grudge.

Until now, more than 20 years have passed, and he still has no way to eliminate this grudge.So, after entering high school, he moved out of the house and lived in a dormitory.After graduating from university, I stayed in this city to work hard and rarely went home.

In Mu Jiayi's heart, the impression of his biological mother is actually very weak.After all, he was also a child at that time, and up to now, he can remember the general outline, but the specific appearance is already very vague.

Sometimes, he felt sorry for Mu Jia's mother, she was really a good woman, very kind, always smiling.He knew that he shouldn't have any prejudice against this woman, but he still couldn't accept it in his heart.

It didn't take long for Mu Jiayi to receive a WeChat message from Mu Jia, and the time for dinner with his parents was set for the night after tomorrow.The timing happened to be right after Mu Jia got off work, so it must have been deliberately arranged.

It seems that this time it cannot be avoided.

On the third day, Mu Jiayi finished his work early, went to the mall to buy some gifts for his father and Mu Jia's mother, and then went to the appointment.

When he arrived at the appointed restaurant, he found that Mu Jia and his parents had already arrived.

They were very happy to see Mu Jia coming.

"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, the office is too busy these days, I'm late." Mu Jiayi spoke to the two old people politely.

"We all know that you are busy, especially at the end of the year, so your mother and I decided to come here. If the four of us can't get together during the New Year, then take this opportunity to have a meal together. Chatting."

Mu Jiayi smiled, "Mom, this is a gift for you. My sister said last time that the jade bracelet you had been wearing was broken, so I bought you a new one." The gift he will buy for Liang Hong , took it out.

The texture of this jade bracelet is very good, and it looks like a first-class product.Liang Hong was a little embarrassed after reading it, "Jiayi, it's not easy for you to live here alone, save some money by yourself, so you don't need to buy me anything."

"Oh, Mom! As soon as Jia said to send you off, you can take it with you. We are all a family, so what are you talking about?" Mu Jia knew that her mother was embarrassed, so she stood up to smooth things over.

She took the jade bracelet from Mu Jiayi's hand, put it on for her mother, and said sincerely, "Jiayi still has the vision, this bracelet is so beautiful."

Liang Hong looked at this bracelet and liked it very much, "Jiayi, thank you."

Liang Hong liked both the bracelet and Mu Jiayi very much.Although Mu Jiayi was not her own, she was the one who watched him grow up.After so many years of getting along, in Liang Hong's heart, Mu Jia was her biological son early on.

However, this son always kept a distance from him. Although he called "Mom" on his lips, he always treated him with respect and could not get along like a normal mother and son.

One year after Mu Jiayi's biological mother passed away, she met Mu Nian by chance on the street.At that time, the two of them sat down and had a good chat, only then did they realize that Mu Nian was already widowed.When Mu Nian asked her if she was doing well, she let go of her strength for so many years and told Mu Nian the truth.

Only then did Mu Nian realize that he had a daughter.It was not until the second year after his wife's death that Mu Nian married Liang Hong back home.Moreover, it also let Mu Jiayi know that he has a sister.

"Mom, you are too polite." Then Mu Jiayi took out a new razor, "Dad, this is for you, your previous one has been used for a long time. Get a new one , it just so happens that his house has a new one."

Mu Nian did not shirk like Liang Hong did, but happily accepted Mu Jiayi's gift.In Mu Nian's view, his greatest happiness is that he has both children and stable jobs, unlike some families whose sons and daughters fight all day long and beg for money from the family.

During the game, Mu Jia went to the bathroom together, and Mu Jia followed him.

On the way to the bathroom, Mu Jia took Mu Jiayi's arm, "Jiayi, did you spend a lot of money on that bracelet? Look at the quality of the bracelet, there's nothing that won't cost tens of thousands."

"It's okay, not too expensive."

Mu Jia didn't believe it, "It's not expensive? Then I'll get one for your older sister someday."

Mu Jiayi, "Okay, on the day you get married, I'll give you one that is more expensive than this."

"..." Mu Jia rolled his eyes, "Aren't you ashamed of me!"

"Then you can't find a boyfriend and get married just for this bracelet?"

"If it was really that easy to find, I would have looked for it a long time ago! Why wait until now!" Mu Jia was very unconvinced, she also wanted a boyfriend, okay?

Mu Jia went on to say, "It's you, you are not too young. When will you find me a younger brother and sister and I will see you back? But, let me say it earlier, if you don't look as good-looking as your elder sister, then don't bring it back. .By the way, you must find someone who can take care of you. You, you work day and night when you start working like this. If you continue like this, be careful that you will become a Mediterranean Sea before you reach your age."

Mu Jiayi smiled, but didn't speak.Mu Jia is always like this, he is the main one and considers for him at all times.

If he was a normal man, maybe he would really find a girlfriend like his sister to be his wife.It's a pity that he won't be able to bring back a younger sibling for his sister in this life.

The family had a meal in harmony, and Mu Jiayi rarely drank a few glasses of wine with Mu Nian.

During the meal, Mu Jiayi revealed some recent situations. Mu Nian was also a lawyer. Although he has passed the age of retirement, he is still recruited by a well-known large company as a re-hired lawyer.Between father and son, they also discuss and make progress with each other.

After the meal, because Mu Jia drank alcohol, Mu Jia sent his parents back to the hotel.Before leaving, Liang Hong reluctantly gave Mu Jiayi a chance to go home for a few days.

Mu Jiayi said that he will definitely go back when he is not busy.

Watching Mu Jia's car disappear into the night, Mu Jia withdrew his smile.He raised his head and looked at the winter night sky, the cold wind blowing, the original feeling of drinking was also blown away.

It's not too far from the neighborhood where he lived, so Mu Jiayi decided to walk back.

Although the weather was quite cold, Mu Jiayi felt a little comfortable.Such a wind, such a night, such a sidewalk, he has not been out for a walk for a long time.
