Chapter 71 I've Never Seen You So Nervous
Chapter 71 I've Never Seen You So Nervous
Li Mu didn't understand at first.
Because of the other party's confusing word order, he took a moment to confirm that Xiao Changgong was asking if he was interested in the girl, rather than confessing to him for the girl.
When he figured out what the other party meant, Li Mu's fair face suddenly turned crimson.
"No, no, I didn't." Li Mu quickly shook his head in denial.
The little long-term worker was also taken aback, and then nodded after a while.He added without giving up, "Jade is a good girl."
Ah this...
Li Mu is ashamed, big brother, I secretly licked the CP of the two of you, is it really okay for you to just involve me like this?
He didn't even know how to answer the other party better.
He didn't have much contact with Jade, but she was Yue Renge's younger sister after all, she was young and simple.Of course he couldn't say that the little girl was bad, but if he just simply praised her, the little brother might be overwhelmed again.
The two were speechless for a moment.
Yue Renge came over with the remaining apple pie, and sat down between the two of them.He glanced at Li Mu and asked what was going on with his eyes.Li Mu shrugged his shoulders, and the little farm worker coughed lightly, and walked away with a bowl in his hand.
Yue Renge smiled and asked Li Mu: "What did he tell you? Did he trouble you?"
Li Mu laughed, "I still have to ask you. What happened to him?"
Aude—that is, a small long-term worker—is a winemaker hired by Yue Renge's family, and lives in their house for half of the year.The young man's family is in Paris, he majored in winemaking at university, and went to this rural area to make a living.It is said that he first worked in other wineries, then came to Yue Renge's family, and worked in Yue Renge's family for five years. Basically, he can be regarded as a non-staff member of Yue Renge's family.
Li Mu nodded, "No wonder, I think he has a good relationship with you. But I never heard that you have a brother."
Aude is different from Yue Renge. He talks less and has a calm personality. He is quite a typical man of science and technology.Perhaps it was because the young and old in the family were talkative types, but Yue Renge's father had a great affection for this taciturn young man.The two get along like father and son, and they are also very in tune.
Yue Renge said: "My dad likes Aude very much, and kind of wants him to be our son-in-law."
That's right, this is a typical plot between the father-in-law and his son-in-law.Yue Renge added: "But Jade is too young after all, almost ten years behind him."
Li Mu let out a "puchi" laugh, and Yue Renge realized that what he said was a bit inappropriate.In terms of age difference, isn't there some age gap between them?As long as it is not too outrageous, age is actually not a big problem.
Falling in love and getting married are not the same thing.From the perspective of marriage, Aude is considered a passable candidate regardless of his academic background, not top-notch, but not bad, and even participated in the production of their family, so he can be regarded as a person who knows the basics.
But in terms of love, it is too wronged for a young girl who is eighteen or nineteen years old to be married to an uncle who is ten years older than her.
Father is intentional, mother, turn a blind eye and close one eye, let it develop freely.The little girl is busier than anyone else in going to school and working every day. She seems to be polite to Aude, and maybe she goes out to eat ice cream once in a while, but if there is anything else, it is not guaranteed.
As for feelings, who can say for sure?
"It depends on the relationship between the two of them." Li Mu said, "I don't think Aude is very capable of making troubles, and Jade is young. If you don't like him, it may be a bit difficult between the two of you."
It's okay not to mention this, but mentioning it made Yue Renge think of something else, he narrowly bumped Li Mu's arm, "I still want to ask you, what's wrong with the way my sister looks at you?"
"Look at my eyes?" Li Mu was at a loss.
"Ah," Yue Renge followed suit, imitating the little girl's expression on the spot, vividly, "She must never have any thoughts about you!"
Li Mu laughed loudly, "What are you thinking? She's just a little girl."
Yue Renge was very serious, "She is already 19 years old, she is not a child anymore."
It's Schrödinger's age.
Li Mu heard his emotions, restrained his smile, leaned over, and looked at him, "No way? Are you angry?"
"Not angry." Yue Renge said, "But I can't ignore my sister's affairs. Of course I trust you, but I don't want to cause her any harm."
Saying this, even Yue Renge himself found it funny.Probably a person in love, even if the partner is a pig, he is afraid of being snatched by others, not to mention that it is Li Mu.Everywhere on the street, a little girl would come to strike up a conversation with Li Mu.
Yue Ren sings and bends, but he also understands a woman's heart and knows what a little girl likes best.After all, the younger sister has grown up, and Aude is not the only boy chasing her, but in Yue Renge's opinion, none of these people can compare with Li Mu.
Although he is confident that he can hold Li Mu firmly, the people around him don't know the relationship between them.Yue Renge was sensitively aware of his mother's satisfaction with Li Mu—what if this satisfaction was the satisfaction of his son-in-law?
Yue Renge didn't dare to think about it.
Yue Renge had to strangle all of this in the cradle.
Li Mu understood what he meant, and sat silently by the side.The workers who had eaten snacks started to work again. They walked among the green vines, and Fred—the little horse—moved slowly among them like a ray of sun.
After a while, Li Mu squeezed Yue Renge's hand reassuringly, and said, "I will pay attention."
Yue Renge nodded, and held Li Mu's hand instead, "I will also find a chance to explain it to her."
The sun gradually went up the mountain, the sun was strong, and the direct sun made people sweat all over.Workers put on sun hats one after another, colorful, and thousands of gorgeous flowers bloomed in the green garden.Harvest is already halfway through in this small vineyard.The truck waiting next to it has already made two trips to transport the previously harvested grapes to the wine cellar not far away - where another group of workers is preparing to sort and screen the grapes.
The figure of the little long-term worker has also disappeared from the vineyard. Obviously, he came here to eat the apple pie sent by Jade. His main job is still in the wine cellar, directing the workers to work.
Right now, Yue Renge's advantages are manifested.The wine cellar is built on the edge of the vineyard, and it is transported very quickly. If it is built farther away, the grapes will start to ferment on the road, which will affect the taste of the wine.
Yue Renge invited Li Mu to get on the grape cart, bumping all the way back. "There are guests at home," Yue Renge said, "I have to go back quickly to entertain."
"Guests?" Li Mu held a few grapes in his hands, "A guest at this time?"
"That's right." Yue Renge said with a smile, "Very distinguished guest, let me introduce you. Darling, please feed me a grape."
When they arrived, the guests hadn't arrived yet, and Jeanne was already in the kitchen urging them to hurry to the living room of the office building.Yue Renge responded, rushed upstairs, rushed into the room, opened the closet and searched for a while.
"What are you doing?" Li Mu folded his arms, feeling amused, "It's fine to wear the outfit just now."
"No, it's too informal." Yue Renge found a white shirt - the most common kind - gestured twice in front of the mirror, and threw it to Li Mu.
"You wear this."
"I want to wear it too?"
"Of course." Yue Renge found another shirt. Anyway, there was no difference between the two shirts, but the material was good.Wearing a bottoming vest and a shirt inside, it feels like it's ironed.
Li Mu had just finished changing his clothes when Yue Renge came over looking for a tie. The two of them looked like high school students preparing to attend a graduation ceremony, fighting with hands and feet to clean up each other.Li Mu looked at his dog-like self in the mirror and laughed dumbfoundedly.I can't imagine that I was eating apple pie in the vineyard in flowery underpants ten minutes ago.
"Come on, tidy up your hair." Yue Renge had already tied up the ponytail in a blink of an eye, and took a bottle of pomade in his hand to help Li Mu with his hair.
Li Mu was pressed to sit down by him, and he let Tony Yue play with him, but he still couldn't help being curious, "I've never seen you so nervous before."
"Am I nervous?"
"Of course." Li Mu said, "Your hands are shaking."
"I'm excited." Yue Renge straightened his hair for him, bent over and rubbed the tip of his nose, "This person is very important. He is very important to my father, and very important to our family."
"Who?"
"Our biggest business partner, Louis Mond."
Mr. Mond is the largest liquor distributor in the Bern Hill area.For a large manor like Yue Renge's family, the wine produced every year has basically been fixed.So they usually keep a low profile and disdain to go on TV for various publicity.Propaganda is for the greater financial gain, and Versailles, to put it bluntly, they don't need it.
Mr. Mond, according to Yue Renge, has cooperated with their family for decades and is almost a friend.But this is obviously not an ordinary friend, because to meet an ordinary friend, Yue Renge would not change into a neat suit and take Li Mu to meet him.
"Should I go too?" Li Mu was a little apprehensive when he heard the background of the other party.He doesn't know French, and he doesn't know much about wine. It's fine for him to make a vase for such a distinguished guest;
"It's okay," Yue Renge said, "It's a rare opportunity, I'll take you to meet him. Besides, you're so good, what are you afraid of?"
The last sentence is really beauty in the eye of the beholder, Yue Renge's filter for seeing his lover is almost 50 meters thick.Li Mu struggled a bit, thinking that he was already dressed like this - he was wearing Yue Renge's suit a few years ago, it was a little tight for him, but it still fit.Because it is a good texture, it naturally brings out an extraordinary temperament.
Yue Renge pressed his shoulders and admired it in front of the mirror, and when his mother sounded another loud urging, Yue Renge took Li Mu downstairs.
"Mr. Mond's here," said my mother. "You've got to go and apologize first."
"I will." Yue Renge smiled slightly, patted Li Mu on the back, "Let's go."
