Chapter 872: A Born Actor
Zhang Jiasen still wanted to say something else, but Ning Shu had already walked into the house. Zhang Jiasen had no choice but to follow her.
“Mom.” Ning Shu greeted Mother Miao who was arranging flowers in the drawing room. When Mother Miao saw Ning Shu, she was stunned for a moment, then she dropped the flower to walk over to hug Ning Shu before taking a step back to size her up.
“You’ve gotten thinner, and darker. How did you end up like this?” Mother Miao’s tone contained heartache. “You should have come back earlier.”
Mother Miao was a middle-aged woman with very good manners who maintained herself well. She looked like she was only in her thirties.
“Mom, I really missed you.” Ning Shu hugged Mother Miao tightly. As this body hugged Mother Miao, it started trembling uncontrollably. It was clearly the original host’s emotions.
“It’s good that you’re back. It’s good that you’re back.” Mother Miao immediately called Father Miao. Ning Shu went upstairs first to take a bath. There was no way to shower at all in the countryside. The bathroom was very drafty and showering in the cold weather was asking to freeze to death.
Ning Shu washed up to her heart’s content and when she came back out, she saw that Zhang Jiasen was sitting on the sofa and reading a book.
When he saw Ning Shu come out, he set down the book and smiled towards Ning Shu. Zhang Jiasen didn’t smile often, so when he smiled, it was actually quite breath-taking.
Ning Shu looked at Zhang Jiasen’s smile indifferently, so Zhang Jiasen’s frowned slightly. He walked to Ning Shu and reached out to hug her. He placed his chin on her forehead as he stroked her hair and said in a low voice, “Don’t be angry anymore. It’s not pretty with your face all scrunched up.”
“You said you would be back for me, so why didn’t you come back for me?” Ning Shu tilted her head up as she asked, “I was waiting in the countryside for you to come back for me the entire time.”
Zhang Jiasen sighed in relief and a smile appeared on his face again as he stroked Ning Shu’s head. “You’re talking about this? It’s been a little busy at the company lately. If you hadn’t come back, I was planning to go get you in a couple days.”
“Haha…” Ning Shu gave Zhang Jiasen a very fake smile.
“Oh you.” Zhang Jiasen’s expression was very helpless but there was also doting affection mixed in.
This guy was definitely a born actor.
“Miaomiao, you’re back? Hurry and come down for Dad to see.” Father Miao’s voice came from below the stairs.
Ning Shu brushed off Zhang Jiasen’s hand, then turned to walk down the stairs. Zhang Jiasen looked down at his hand, his gaze deep and dark, then he clenched his fist.
After a moment, he went downstairs as well.
Ning Shu hugged the chubby Father Miao. Father Miao was a fatty with a middle part hairstyle. It was no wonder he ended up having a stroke in the original storyline.
“Dad, it’s about time for you to start dieting. It’s not good for your health to be so fat.” Ning Shu didn’t want Father Miao to pass away so early.
Ning Shu was suspicious of the cause of the Miao family parents’ deaths, especially the death of Mother Miao. How could a person who was perfectly well and alive die just a year after Father Miao passed away?
Furthermore, Miao Miaomiao was also diagnosed to have a mental disorder. Ning Shu suspected that all of this had something to do with Zhang Jiasen.
However, Miao Miaomiao had always been a girl that was very ignorant of the world. The fact that she had been able to realize that she had been tricked by Zhang Jiasen when she died was already not easy.
So there was a need for her to verify things for herself.
“Alright, alright. I’ll listen to you.” Father Miao rubbed his head as he said this with a smile. When he saw Zhang Jiasen walking down from upstairs, he said, “You’re here too.”
Zhang Jiasen was very respectful towards Father Miao and greeted him as ‘dad.’
Ning Shu took in Zhang Jiasen’s behavior silently. Even though Father Miao had always been very dissatisfied with Zhang Jiasen’s family circumstances, Zhang Jiasen had never complained about it and was always very respectful towards Father Miao.
This was a man who could endure.
