Chapter 689 Someone Always Knows You

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but follow the prestige.

He saw a slender figure standing behind Wu Shi.

The man was dressed in a green shirt, with a cool demeanor, like a thin layer of blue mist floating in the pond under the boundless moonlight, pure and elegant.

On the face is a half silver mask, covering most of the face, which one is it?
Pei Xiaoran narrowed his eyes immediately.

This guy hasn't left yet?

Moreover, what's even more strange is that he stood there as an 'outsider', and she didn't notice it after such a long time?
As if, he is also a part of their family.

That's why, when he was with them, he seemed so 'harmonious', so harmonious that Pei Xiaoran didn't realize he was there until he made a sound.

Could it be that she already regarded him as one of her own?

Pei Xiaoran raised his hand and touched his chin, feeling a little puzzled.

Pei Runzhi asked curiously:
"Another thing? What is it?"

Wuming waved his hand and said with a smile:
"It's not a big deal, it's just that when your mother went shopping with me today, she bought a lot of things for you."

After his reminder, Wu immediately patted his forehead and said:

"I almost forgot about this! Hurry up, bring all the things here, I bought a lot of good things today!"

With Wuming changing the subject, the originally heavy atmosphere in the room immediately became much lighter.

Wu's attention was also diverted, and she was no longer entangled in the children's affairs.

Pei Xiaoran glanced at Wuming, wondering whether he diverted the topic on purpose or not.

However, no matter whether it was intentional or unintentional, it was worthy of her gratitude to make her mother happy.

Pei Xiaoran blinked at Wuming, and silently thanked him with a pair of bright eyes.

Wuming saw it and smiled back at her.

Not long after, the servants brought over all the things Wu bought today.

There are indeed a lot of things, and the table is piled up, so it's no wonder that Mrs. Wu has been shopping outside for a whole day.

Calling all the children to the front, Mrs. Wu handed out things one by one.

Rouge and gouache for the daughters-in-law, clothes for the sons, the most fashionable jewelry for the little girl's family for Pei Xiaoran, snacks and gadgets for the children...

After dividing the things and the table was empty, Pei Xiaoran looked around and asked:

"Mom, what did you buy for yourself?"

Wu smiled softly, raised her hand to touch the top of her hair, looked at this little daughter whom she loved the most since she was a child, and said softly:
"Mother doesn't need anything, you are enough."

Pei Xiaoran's nose turned sour when he heard this, and he couldn't help but like Pei Junyue, he threw himself into her mother's arms, hugged her mother's waist, and acted coquettishly like when she was a child.

The orange candlelight warmly reflects the warmth of this room, making people forget the troubles of the world for a moment, and just want to indulge in it.

Wuming looked at this intimate family, and his heart, which had been chilled for many years, slowly melted away, as if being melted by hot water.

Once, when his mother and elder brother were still there, he also had the warmth of such a family.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.

Unexpectedly, in this family, he could really feel this kind of warmth again.

Looking at Wu Shi surrounded by everyone like a moon, Wuming's eyes gradually softened.

It has to be said that Wu Shi is a good mother.

Even in such an unfair environment, she did not raise her children into people who harbor hatred, which is enough to show her broad mind and pure heart.

Such a person is like a treasure in the world, precious and rare.

It's a pity that Pei Xingshan wasted everything and didn't know how to cherish it.

But it doesn't matter, he will cherish it in the future.

After distributing the things, Wuming clenched his fists against his lips and coughed lightly, like muttering to himself, but the volume was enough for everyone in the room to hear clearly:

"I'm really envious. Everyone has gifts to take, but I have nothing..."

Pei Xiaoran squinted at him.

Seeing that this guy's clothes are all exquisite, he knows that he is a rich man, and it is impossible for him to care about such things.

Saying this on purpose, what else is it if you're not pretending to be pitiful?
Sure enough, upon hearing Wuming's words, Wu immediately expressed apology.

She was only focused on buying things for her family, but for a moment she really forgot that it was time to buy some things for the 'big hero' who had been with her all day as a reward.

Pinching the veil in embarrassment, Wu said:

"This... I'm really sorry, it was my negligence, or..."

Wu thought for a moment, and was thinking of asking Wuming what she likes, so she will buy it tomorrow.

Suddenly remembered that when she came back, she heard that Jun Yue had an accident, she was so busy calling her eldest daughter-in-law over to ask questions, she even forgot to eat dinner, so she hurriedly said:
"Or, just have dinner at my house tonight, just tell me what you like, and I'll let the kitchen do it."

The nameless goal was achieved, with a satisfied smile on his face, but he said:

"What's the fun of it then?"

Wu quickly waved his hand and said:

"I'm afraid that this meal alone is not enough to repay you sir! It's all my fault, I neglected you for a while, it's a pity that you have been with me all day, please sit down and rest, I will let someone serve tea. "

Speaking of this, Wu Shi remembered that since she entered the door and heard about Pei Junyue, she had completely forgotten about Wuming, and even forgot to have a cup of hot tea served for him.

On the other hand, Wuming walked around with her for a whole day without talking, never said a word of being tired, let alone impatient.

Even if she completely ignored her after entering the door, she didn't show any anger at all.

This made Wu's affection for him double.

However, being so rude to the guests made Wu, who has always paid attention to etiquette, blushed in embarrassment, and hurriedly called the servants to prepare hot tea and snacks.

She has been well maintained, and since the root cause of the disease was removed, her complexion has become better, and the older she is, the younger and more radiant she looks.

Just like the pearl dug out from the dirt, the whole person is shining with a layer of warm and soft light.

At this time, the pretty face is powdered, which is even more moving.

Wuming was a little stunned for a while, until Pei Xiaoran came over and poked him, and then he came back to his senses.

Pei Xiaoran made a 'please' gesture towards him, and said:

"Sir, please take a seat."

Seeing that he spent a day with his mother, she decided to treat him better.

Wuming was a little flattered, because he could feel that this little thing was always wary of him.

Today, he took the initiative to invite him to take a seat. It seems that his performance today is not bad.

Everyone happily had dinner together, and Wu Shi was a little tired, so Pei Xiaoran drove her back to rest first, and she personally sent Wuming out.

Walking out of the gate of the new house, Pei Xiaoran suddenly raised his head, looked at Wuming, and said very seriously:

"Thank you for today."
