Chapter 1441 Oh dear, I got scolded.
Chapter 1441 Oh dear, I got scolded.
Mu Ning went for a run before dinner and drank a lot of water when she came back. The amount of water she drank shocked her aunt.
"Young Master, Miss Mu just drank so much water!" The aunt turned her back and hurriedly reported to Young Master Zhuang, making a "two" gesture in shock.
Two liters!
Seeing that the young master didn't react, the aunt immediately spoke up herself, "Two liters of water! What kind of concept is that? Is his stomach a water bucket? Aren't you afraid it'll burst?"
Zhuang Shiyuan's thick eyebrows finally twitched. Two liters?
Zhuang Shiyuan chuckled, "Let her drink it. From now on, add some vitamins and protein powder to her water."
"Oh? Yes. But, young master, Miss Mu said you suggested she skip dinner tonight, is that true?" The aunt asked again, knowing Mu Ning's love for food. Skipping dinner? Haha, don't be ridiculous.
"Yeah, keep an eye on her. She wants to lose weight, and drinking water instead of eating at night isn't a bad idea," Zhuang Shiyuan admitted.
"..." The aunt looked surprised, "...Yes!"
Want to lose weight by not eating? Auntie thinks Mu Ning is fine; she's tall enough, right? Her weight is just right.
When the aunt came downstairs, she saw Mu Ning lying motionless on the sofa. Hehe, she's holding on, she's been drinking water.
“Miss Mu.” The aunt walked over and said, “You’re on a diet, right? What’s there to lose weight for? Even if you’re chubby, you’re chubby in a very even way.”
Mu Xiaoniu suddenly looked up, her eyes darting left and right. "Are you trying to comfort me?"
But why did she detect a strong sense of malice in his voice?
"What I mean is, you're fine as you are. Losing weight can easily ruin your health, so you shouldn't. Look at those women on the street who are as thin as bamboo poles, what's so attractive about them? Just skin and bones, is that beautiful?" The aunt said very seriously, and it's true. What are young people pursuing these days? Being as thin as a man, is that really attractive?
Mu Xiaoniu laughed happily, "But look at how many fat people there are on the street? How many of them are young? I don't want to be different. Look at Third Madam, her son and daughter are all so grown up, and she still has such a good figure. Don't you think your Third Madam looks good?"
Yes, the Third Wife was her idol, she was her goal!
If she looks like the current third wife when she turns fifty, she'll be ecstatic.
The aunt was taken aback. How did this get to the Third Madam?
"How can you compare to the Third Madam?" This was an instinctive defense of her own; how could the Third Madam be compared to an ordinary person?
The aunt didn't mean anything by it; her reaction was exactly the same as Mu Ning's first reaction.
Fortunately, the aunt realized as soon as she spoke that it might not have been a good thing, and immediately laughed, "What I meant was, the Third Madam is petite, but Miss Mu, you're different. How can someone as tall and clumsy as you be a little bird clinging to someone? You need to understand yourself..."
These words...
Mu Ning immediately closed her eyes. Why did she feel like every word her aunt said was directed at her? Was the fat person guilty?
The aunt continued, "However, Miss Mu, you should lower your expectations a bit. Being like the eldest young lady would be nice too. You're about the same height as the eldest young lady, right? The eldest young lady is perfect."
That's far off, okay? Is the young lady 1.7 meters tall? But she's 1.75 meters tall, okay? The young lady looks tall, well, that's because she's thin.
"Which of the Zhuang family's women is bad?"
Mu Ning sighed. The women of the Zhuang family were indeed all beautiful. Even the eldest wife's daughter-in-law, who seemed quite old, possessed such impeccable style, figure, and气质 (qi zhi - a combination of temperament, bearing, and presence). And then there was Miss Sun, Zhuang Zihan, so stunningly beautiful at such a young age. They were all women, so why was there such a difference between them?
puzzled!
The aunt kindly advised, "Don't be discouraged, Mu Ning. You used to be quite beautiful too. You used to be a delicate flower, and now you're a beautiful jade."
"I'll take that as a compliment. Anyway, aren't you going to prepare food for the young master? Have you checked the time?" Mu Ning interrupted. Ever since she became acutely aware of her obesity, she could no longer calmly and composedly deal with other people's jokes. See, her stingy nature has come out.
"Oh, yes, I'll go right away."
The aunt immediately rushed into the kitchen. Mu Ning lay on the sofa for a while, then answered a call from the third wife, who said she wouldn't be back for a few days and asked Mu Ning to take good care of Zhuang Shiyuan, especially his emotional well-being, and try to keep the young master happy. Finally, she asked about Zhuang Shiyuan's injury. She knew that Zhuang Shiyuan's injury couldn't be hidden, so she didn't intend to conceal it and told her everything.
Upon hearing this, the third wife's tone became less gentle than before. After all, it concerned her son, and there had to be a limit to Mu Ning's madness.
“Shiyuan just woke up, you silly boy, don’t be so selfish. Shiyuan is different. He’s still very weak. Don’t take him out during his rehabilitation, okay?”
Huo Yan wasn't criticizing Mu Ning, but rather pointing out that Mu Ning was a bit too careless and overlooked many details. Her son had just woken up and needed rest, but Mu Ning, instead of taking him out, pushed him out into the cold wind. Wasn't that bumpy? Would Shi Yuan be comfortable in that temperature? And now he was injured; she wouldn't know the extent of his injury until the doctor gave her a report. While her son was unconscious, Mu Ning took excellent care of him, but now that he was awake…
I heard that the nurse was also fired. Hiring a nurse is to ensure that there is professional care and observation at all times. So Huo Yan was bothered by the dismissal of Xuanxuan.
The old staff were hastily dismissed without any replacements, and the new staff member is having a rough time. Can they take good care of Se-yeon?
Mu Ning listened attentively to the Third Madam's reprimand. She had always been afraid of Huo Yan. Even though their relationship had grown closer over the years, she was still intimidated when Huo Yan had a stern face.
"I understand," Mu Ning replied earnestly.
After a few more words, the call ended. Mu Ning sighed: Zhuang Shiyuan, you've ruined me!
Zhuang Shiyuan's fall was her responsibility; who told her to push him out the door on a whim? Xuanxuan's dismissal was also her fault. Zhuang Shiyuan said he'd leave the matter to her, and it was indeed she who let Xuanxuan go. So, it's correct that Auntie called to report it.
"Ugh—I'm so unhappy." Mu Ning leaned against a cushion, feeling down for a while, then went to do some aerobics.
That's just how he is; his unhappiness only lasts for a short while, and he's fine as soon as he turns around.
Mu Ning went to bed early that night, afraid of getting hungry if she stayed up too late.
Zhuang Shiyuan was reading with the light on, and she stayed up very late. Despite the bright light, she was able to fall asleep.
"So hungry..."
The voice came from the sleeping Mu Ning. Zhuang Shiyuan turned to look at Mu Ning, his gaze gentle.
Despite the overwhelming pressure that seemed to bury him, he could still smile when he saw her vibrant face.
Zhuang Shiyuan gently lifted the blanket wrapped around her, leaned down and kissed her cheek. "Without you, I don't know what I would do."
