Chapter 619 Abnormal Behavior
Seeing Jiang Jinglan's sincere attitude, Jiang An always adhered to the principle that a harmonious family brings prosperity, so when he saw Jiang Jinglan like this, he immediately tried to smooth things over.
"Good child, it's good that you can realize the problem. Our family should unite and help each other. Now that you know your mistakes, don't make them again. Uncle will always be your second uncle, and Mu Bai will always be your sister. You can rest assured about this."
"Yeah, it's all my fault for thinking too much. When I was a kid, I was alone at home and I felt lonely. Now that you've helped me bring Mu Bai back to the old house, we two sisters will have company whenever we do anything."
"It's not too late for you to figure these things out now. The Jiang family still has to rely on you two sisters to support it in the future. It would be best if you two can get along well without any grudges. My eldest brother, his wife and I will be very pleased to see this."
"Mu Bai, I'm really sorry for what happened before. It's my fault. I'm here to apologize to you. Please forgive me for what I did before, okay?"
Seeing Jiang An looking at him with expectant eyes, Jiang Mubai couldn't say the words of rejection no matter what. Jiang An had made it very clear just now that he hoped to see the Jiang family living together in harmony. In this situation, how could Jiang Mubai have the nerve to be a person who destroys harmony?
If Jiang Mubai and Jiang Jinglan were the only ones in the hall, when Jiang Mubai heard Jiang Jinglan saying these things to her, she would definitely expose the other party without hesitation. But Jiang An was waiting for her answer here, so Jiang Mubai's suspicion of Jiang Jinglan became even more certain. Jiang Mubai thought that Jiang Jinglan did this on purpose.
Although Jiang Mubai didn't know what the other party's purpose was, Jiang Jinglan had already started to sound the alarm in her heart. Jiang Mubai warned herself in her heart that she must be careful and never fall into Jiang Jinglan's trap again.
Jiang Mubai thought very clearly. Since Jiang Jinglan wanted to act out a reconciliation scene with her, Jiang Mubai naturally had to cooperate with her and continue acting. Otherwise, it would be so boring to watch Jiang Jinglan perform a one-man show here. Besides, Jiang Mubai's acting skills had won her a Best Actress award. Compared to acting, Jiang Mubai was not afraid of anyone.
"Seeing your sincere attitude, what else can I say? I will choose to forgive you. I hope we can live in peace and not have so much suspicion in the future. Sister, do you think what I said is right?"
Seeing Jiang Mubai say this, Jiang Jinglan's face froze, then he immediately recovered when he thought of Jiang An still being here, "Yeah, it was all my fault before for being so easily convinced by others, but now I am willing to promise you and Second Uncle that something like that will never happen again."
"It's the best to hear my sister say this. I'm very happy to see that my sister has changed for the better. How about asking the kitchen to make something delicious to celebrate today? Just think of it as a celebration of my sister and I making up with each other?"
"Mu Bai, this is a good idea. It seems that we haven't had a proper meal together for a long time. It's just a good opportunity to catch up. I will call and ask big brother when he will come back for dinner."
"Okay, but I think eating at the table is boring. How about we go to the yard to barbecue? I haven't eaten for a long time and I miss your cooking skills. What do you think of this suggestion?"
"I think it's good, what do you think, Mu Bai?"
"I have no objection either."
"That's good. I'll let you taste dad's cooking later. Jinglan, don't you want to eat my barbecue? Uncle will let you eat as much as you want later!"
"Okay, okay, Uncle, I've been asking for this for a long time."
"I'm going to the kitchen now to see if there are any ingredients and tools. If not, I'll have someone prepare them right away. Plus, your parents haven't come back yet, so we still have time to prepare these for us."
"And Uncle, don't forget to call my dad and ask him when he'll be back."
"Okay, I'll call now."
Jiang An took out his cell phone and called Jiang Ping, then walked to the kitchen to check the ingredients. Now, only Jiang Mubai and Jiang Jinglan were left in the living room.
After Jiang An left, Jiang Mubai sat aside quietly waiting for Jiang Jinglan's expression to change.
Who knew that Jiang Jinglan not only did not change his expression but also acted exactly the same as when Jiang An was here, "Mu Bai, this pineapple is delicious, sour and sweet, you should like it, try it, I heard that pregnant women like to eat something sour, is it true?"
Seeing Jiang Jinglan like this, Jiang Mubai felt embarrassed to say something unpleasant to embarrass her. Jiang Mubai was worried that Jiang Jinglan really knew that she was wrong and wanted to change for the better and get her forgiveness.
Jiang Mubai was unsure and didn't say anything embarrassing. She had no choice but to continue acting as before and deal with people's moves as they came. She believed that time would reveal a person's true character. If Jiang Jinglan was really doing something behind her back, Jiang Mubai was sure she would find out.
"Well, there was a period of time before when I really liked to eat sour food, but after that period, I was fine. As far as I know, it seems that not every pregnant woman is like this."
"Is that so? Then is the baby in your belly a boy or a girl? Do you know?"
"I haven't checked it, but it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. As long as it's my child, I like it regardless of gender."
"That's true. You are so pretty and your children will surely be good too. I am really looking forward to the birth of a new life in a few months. Are you, as an expectant mother, also very excited?"
"It's OK. The baby has been in my belly for so long that I'm definitely looking forward to its birth, but that's just a normal state of mind. Maybe I'll only get excited and nervous when the birth is really around the corner."
"It's okay. When you give birth, my uncle and I will be by your side to take care of you and cheer you up. Just be at ease and have the baby."
"Hope everything goes well."
The two were chatting harmoniously in the living room. When Chen Qingyu came in and saw Jiang Mubai and Jiang Jinglan like this, she thought she was seeing things.
"Mom, you're back! Are you hungry? Let's go to the yard to have a barbecue today. Uncle will be grilling it himself!"
"Aunt, you're back."
"Well, why are you two sitting here?"
"Hmm? Of course we are sitting here waiting for you to come back and have barbecue together! Is my dad back yet? How long will it take for him to come back? I don't know how the second uncle is preparing. I am a little hungry now."
Jiang Mubai heard Chen Qingyu's question. Jiang Mubai knew that Chen Qingyu was curious about why the two of them could chat together so peacefully. Jiang Mubai saw that Jiang Jinglan didn't understand the meaning of Chen Qingyu's words, so she pretended not to understand and was too lazy to explain these things.
"Your dad won't be back for a while. By the time your uncle finishes those things, he'll be back soon."
"Didn't Sister Jinglan just say that she was a little hungry? Let me go to the kitchen to help you. If there is anything you can eat, I will bring it to you so that you can fill your stomach first, okay?"
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mu Bai."
