When the sprain on her foot was almost healed, the day before returning to work, Song Qiao picked a time to visit her grandfather. Two months ago, after Elder Mu’s successful surgery, he moved back to the Mu Mansion.
Back when the Mu Family went bankrupt, this villa was the only property that was retained.
In recent times, with injuries happening one place after another, she hadn’t had the chance to visit the elderly gentleman for quite some time. Mu Shinian had made several calls asking when she would return to the mansion, which made her feel quite guilty. However, to avoid suspicion, she stubbornly used work as an excuse to evade.
Knowing Song Qiao would be returning to the Mu Mansion to visit her grandfather, Lu Jingchen drove himself to work in the morning, leaving the driver for her.
The car stopped directly outside the villa. Mu Shinian knew she was coming today, and was waiting at the door with a Husky.
She got out of the car as soon as she opened the door. Just as she closed it, the Husky, originally held by Mu Shinian, bolted toward her, almost making her lose her balance and step back slightly. However, the Husky didn’t seem to notice, and just hugged her leg, wagging its tail vigorously.
"Sis..." Naturally, Mu Shinian saw what just happened and was instantly annoyed, rushing over to grab the Husky’s leash and scold it, "Husky, you nearly knocked my sister over. Do you believe I’ll cook you right now?"
Seemingly understanding Mu Shinian’s words, the Husky immediately got down, looking pitifully at him with its tail wagging and whimpering.
Everyone knows that Huskies are among the ’three sled dogs’ known for their silliness. When Ning Wan and I rented an apartment elsewhere, the neighbor had a Husky that was the epitome of goofy and silly.
"Whose dog is this?" Song Qiao herself loves pets like cats and dogs. Seeing this Husky, which appeared to be two or three years old, she found it quite charming and stroked it, noting its enjoyment.
Mu Shinian bent over to pick up the leash and explained with a smile, "It’s Lu Yulin’s, but now it’s at our house. Usually, when I go to class, it stays with Grandpa, and Grandpa really likes it."
Song Qiao smiled; she didn’t find it surprising that her grandfather liked this Husky. In the past, her grandfather had a sled dog, but it was hit by a passing car when it ran outside to play, and it had been with them for seven or eight years, creating a deep bond. Grandpa was sad for a long time after its death. He often wanted to have another dog when he saw others walking theirs, but after the Mu Family’s bankruptcy and his own hospitalization, this idea ceased.
Having a dog at home to accompany the elderly is great. Surprisingly, this Husky wasn’t afraid of strangers. Even though it was meeting her for the first time, it acted like it was familiar, rushing toward her as soon as she got out of the car.
This made her a bit worried; if the legend holds true, when a thief breaks in, the Husky might help move things rather than bark?
The driver took some fruits and supplements out of the trunk and approached behind Song Qiao, "Ma’am, these are for the old gentleman and the young master." All of these were instructed by Lu Jingchen to be purchased.
Song Qiao responded affirmatively, then told the driver, "You go in first."
"Yes, ma’am." The driver didn’t say much and turned to enter the villa.
"Sis, have you been very busy with work lately? You haven’t been back for a long time." Mu Shinian asked Song Qiao, slightly pursing his lips.
He was already 1.8 meters tall, taller than Song Qiao.
Song Qiao stood straight, looking at the little man Mu Shinian had become, a hint of apology on her face, "Sorry, Shinian, I’ve been too busy with work lately, so I haven’t had time to come back to see you and Grandpa. How is Grandpa’s recovery?"
Mu Shinian, after all, is still a child, and Song Qiao is one of the people who watched him grow up. Because Mu Shinian and his grandfather were not very harmonious, perhaps because the old man always had a stern face when educating children, creating something of a gap between the grandson and grandfather.
Compared to others, Mu Shinian was closer to her.
Finally, a smile appeared on Mu Shinian’s face as he spoke, "Grandpa is recovering well. With careful care, he’ll be fine, but he says he misses you a lot."
"Mu Shinian, this young master has come to see you." At this moment, an excited voice rang out.
