Chapter 1078

“This is…” Baili Xia had never seen him before, so she couldn’t help but glance at Mu Xiaoyao beside her.

The man looked only a few years younger than Grandpa, probably in his late sixties, but he appeared quite robust.

“The former butler, Feng Gang, just call him Uncle Feng from now on.” Mu Xiaoyao said.

Baili Xia nodded, but still couldn’t help but glance in the direction of the kitchen.

From before… but now he’s back… it feels so strange.

A worker, no longer employed here, suddenly comes back, and acts like he’s in charge…

Could it be that the Mu family’s housekeeper was fired?

“Uncle Feng will be living with us from now on, he’s been Grandpa’s companion for many years, like an old friend. You kids should respect him more from now on, got it?”

The old man stared at them, speaking seriously.

“Got it, Grandpa,” Baili Xia and Mu Ziying said in unison.

Although Mu Xiaoyao didn’t speak, he also nodded.

With Grandpa personally speaking out about this, it shows Feng Gang’s position in this family.

As one gets older, they often cling to the past, perhaps Grandpa really missed Housekeeper Feng.

Nobody minded, and soon Feng Gang was leading the servants in serving dishes.

A table full of delicious dishes was brought in, and a timid voice softly asked: “Xiaxia, when is Uncle coming back? Isn’t he coming back for dinner?”

Baili Xia was startled and looked up, her gaze sent over.

Jolted by her complex gaze, Ning Anran seemed to remember something, and her expression instantly changed.

She was clearly very nervous, her voice even began to tremble.

“I…I didn’t mean anything by it, just…I thought…no, I didn’t think anything, I…sorry, I…”

“An Ran, why so nervous?” Even the old man couldn’t stand seeing her like this.

He immediately put down his chopsticks and patted her hand, his eyes filled with a bit of pity.

“Child, it’s just a meal, is there really a need to be this nervous?

Grandpa said, we are all family, no need to be anxious, they won’t bully you.”

“I didn’t…” Ning Anran hurriedly shook her head, quickly trying to clarify: “I didn’t say they bullied me, how could they bully me?

Grandpa, don’t misunderstand.”

This “Grandpa” she called very naturally, as if she had been accustomed to calling him that for a long time.

Mu Ziying chuckled and rolled her eyes at her: “Grandpa is just joking, how could we bully you?

What do you take us for?”

“I really didn’t mean that, Miss Ziying, don’t misunderstand,” Ning Anran was so nervous she almost stood up again.

Mu Ziying really wanted to roll her eyes at her: “Don’t be like this, you make it seem like we are really bullying you, Grandpa will scold us.”

“Stop it, can’t you see An Ran is almost scared to tears?” The old man scowled.

Mu Ziying pouted and said no more.

It was nothing really, but Ning Anran with her pitiful demeanor turned it into something.

Why is Ning Anran so scared, it’s not like they won’t let her eat.

“An Ran just knows I have a good relationship with Uncle, so she thought Uncle would tell me his whereabouts.”

After Ning Anran calmed down, Baili Xia’s voice, carrying a smile, rang out.

She looked at Ning Anran, her eyes curving into a smile: “You really think highly of me. Uncle wouldn’t tell me anything, and I wouldn’t dare to ask about his work.”
