After the breakup, the abstinent president got married and had three babies

"Why are you going there?" After hearing this, Xia Lin couldn't suppress his curiosity and blurted out a question.

He stared at the other person, as if trying to find some clues from his expression and answer.

"Didn't Lin Cai say he was coming here for dinner? Could it be that you are the one who is going to pick him up?" Xia Lin said, his eyes full of confusion.

Mu Shen touched his nose, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly explained, "I'm fine. I happened to be free today, so I thought of going over to check on Mr. Xia."

Xia Lin's mouth twitched when he heard this, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. "He seems so lively and energetic all day long, is it really necessary to go out of our way to check him out?"

"If you're really free, why not stay and help me process those shrimps?"

Mu Shen smiled helplessly and continued, "This wasn't my idea. Ruo An was worried and insisted that I go over there."

After saying that, his eyes unconsciously drifted away, as if he was a little embarrassed to face Xia Lin.

"Hmph, what could he worry about? Even if something happened to other people, he would definitely be fine with his physique!" Xia Lin said sarcastically, obviously not quite believing what Mu Shen said.

At this time, Zhong Yanyan, who had been listening silently to the conversation between the two, glanced at her husband, gently pushed him, and signaled him not to continue.

Then, Zhong Yanyan smiled and said to Mu Shen, "Mu Shen, since Ruoan said so, then you should go over and take a look. We can just make dinner, it's not much work anyway. After all, the old man is old, so he really needs to pay more attention to his health."

Mu Shen nodded gratefully and replied, "Okay, then Mom and Dad, thank you for your hard work. I'll be over first."

After saying that, he glanced at Xia Lin, who looked depressed, and left in a hurry.

"I've already told you there's no need to go, yet you still asked Mu Shen to go all the way. It's really unnecessary! That old man values his own life above all else. What could be so worrying about him?"

Xia Lin frowned, looked at his wife with dissatisfaction and complained.

Zhong Yanyan showed a trace of helplessness on her face and sighed softly: "You can't say that. I think it's unlikely that the old man is deliberately favoring Xia Jiye and his mother. There may be some unknown inside story, but the old man has never mentioned it to us."

"No matter what, the old man has given the company and its shares to Lin Cai and Ruo An."

"Although Mu Shen and the others are not short of money at all, the old man has at least given them a lot of real estate! Since we have accepted his things, it is natural that we have to fulfill our obligations and responsibilities to care for and look after the old man." Zhong Yanyan explained in a firm tone.

After a pause, she continued, "Besides, the reason we asked Mu Shen to visit the old man this time is entirely because our daughter is filial and misses him so much. That's why we specifically asked Mu Shen to make this trip."

"What? Are you going to stop Ruoan's filial piety? You won't be satisfied until you force her to become a cold-hearted and immoral person, right?" After saying that, Zhong Yanyan glared at her husband with anger on her face.

Xia Lin was speechless for a moment after hearing what his wife said. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to refute her. In the end, he could only mutter, "Okay, okay, I can't argue with you. I'd better go to the kitchen and deal with those fresh shrimps..."

Having said that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Zhong Yanyan shook her head with a worried look on her face, secretly praying in her heart that the old man would not let Xia Lin down!

She knew very well that if things developed to that point and Xia Lin really decided to completely sever ties with Old Man Xia, then the children in the family would probably only have obligations towards the old man without any affection at all.

The Xia family and the Ou family are not far apart, and the drive only takes half an hour.

Not long after, the car drove smoothly into the gate of the Xia family.

At this time, Old Master Xia was sitting in the living room leisurely reading the newspaper. When he heard the butler report that Mu Shen was visiting, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, revealing a hint of doubt.

Despite this, he quickly told the butler to invite the guest in.

Speaking of the interactions between Old Man Xia and Mu Shen, there aren't actually that many.

The two had only met twice. The first time they met was when Xia Lin brought several children including Mu Shen back to the Xia family.

The second time was at the grand wedding held in Ruoan yesterday. Shortly after Ruoan returned to his room to rest, Old Master Xia also got up and left.

After the butler respectfully welcomed Mu Shen into the living room, he hurriedly turned around and arranged for someone to bring the fragrant tea that had been prepared long ago.

After everything was settled, Mu Shen sat down on the sofa. Old Master Xia then raised his head, his eyes fixed on him, and slowly said, "Why did you suddenly come here today? Lin Cai hasn't come back yet. Why don't you have a cup of tea and rest, and wait a little longer."

Since Lin Cai officially took over the company, he moved in with Grandpa Xia without hesitation.

After all, there are still many important matters in the company that need to be personally confirmed and approved by the old man, and even if he returns to his original residence, it will be deserted and he will be alone.

Besides, Ruoan is now being taken care of by Leng Zexi, so he simply said hello to Xia Lin and went straight to the Xia family.

In this way, at least someone can enjoy breakfast and dinner with the old man, so that he won’t feel too lonely and depressed when eating alone.

When Old Man Xia heard Lin Cai claim that he felt sorry for him because he had to eat alone, he couldn't help but sneer.

In his opinion, this was not something worthy of sympathy at all, but he did not drive Lin Cai away.

Not only that, the old man also ordered the housekeeper to quickly prepare a comfortable room for Lin Cai and arranged for people to tailor-make various clothes for him.

At first, facing such warm and thoughtful hospitality, Lin Cai felt a little flattered. He waved his hands to decline repeatedly, saying that there was no need to go to such great lengths.

However, Old Master Xia replied nonchalantly, "I don't want you to embarrass me by going out in shabby clothes!"

Hearing this, Lin Cai suddenly realized that his father Xia Lin's innate arrogant temper actually came from this!

Lin Cai is a very eloquent person with a very cheerful and open-minded personality. He often does not take what others say too seriously.

Every time I come back from outside, in addition to dealing with busy affairs in the company, I like to chat with people in the remaining time.

Since both of them are business-savvy and have unique insights and experiences in doing business, they have countless common topics.

The butler, who was standing by and observing silently, couldn't help but feel sincerely happy when he saw this scene.

You know, ever since the old lady met with misfortune and the eldest young master left without saying goodbye, this family seems to have lost its former vitality and vigor, and there is a cold atmosphere all day long.

However, now, a somewhat lively atmosphere has finally been restored.

At this time, Mu Shen stated the purpose of his visit directly: "I didn't come here today to look for Lin Cai, but I came here on behalf of Ruoan to check your health."

As soon as the words fell, Mr. Xia, who was originally smiling, was stunned for a moment. Then he slowly raised his head, stared straight at Mu Shen, and refused without hesitation: "Don't bother, I'm in good health!"

"Besides, I have always had my own private doctor to take care of me, so there is no need for you to check me." After saying this, Mr. Xia deliberately straightened his chest, as if to prove that what he said was true.

Looking at the stubborn old man in front of him, Mu Shen did not back down. Instead, he smiled and responded, "Look at how energetic I am now. Do you still think my body is not healthy enough?"

At the same time, the butler happened to come over with steaming tea.

When he turned his gaze to the master, a trace of pity involuntarily appeared in his eyes. Seeing the master's eyes, he didn't dare to say anything after all, but just stood there quietly waiting.

Mu Shen nodded and continued, "Even Dad thinks so. He said you are full of energy and that even if something happens to others, you will definitely be fine."

After hearing this, Old Master Xia snorted in disdain, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a mocking smile: "Humph! What a heartless brat."

He muttered to himself that he, as a father, was here, but this kid didn't even ask a single question.

However, at this moment, Mu Shen, who was standing aside, looked at Grandpa Xia with a smile on his face and said softly, "Grandpa Xia, don't say that."

"Actually, Ruoan is particularly worried about your health and asked me to come and help you. Grandpa Xia, please let me check you out. Otherwise, I won't be able to report to Ruoan when I get back."

After saying that, Mu Shen looked at Grandpa Xia with anticipation.

Old Master Xia waved his hand and replied with a nonchalant smile, "No need. I'm in good health. There's nothing wrong. I'm fine!"

Although he said this, a barely perceptible worry flashed across his eyes unconsciously.

At this moment, the housekeeper, who had been standing silently by the side, finally couldn't contain his inner anxiety anymore and quickly spoke up to persuade him, "Master, please don't be so stubborn! Young Master Mu's medical skills are well-known and praised by everyone. Let him diagnose you. He might be able to find a cure for your illness."

Seeing that Old Master Xia still seemed a little hesitant, the butler added, "Young Master Mu, to be honest, this illness of yours hasn't been going on for just one or two days. It's been several years now, and he's only been able to hold on until now thanks to taking his medicine on time every day."
