Sitting in the resting van, Lindy thought for a while and picked up the script to read. It was rush hour, and the road in the downtown was blocked tightly. Lindy had plenty of time to read the script. Seeing that she was so focused, her assistant Yumi didn't disturb her and quietly browsed the micro-blogs.
Catherine took Muriel to the shopping mall to buy clothes. She was a star now, so she couldn't wear casual clothes. She had to build her own image.
Muriel was wearing casual clothes, sunglasses and mask, which covered most of her face and was hard to be recognized.
Suddenly, a familiar and old figure came into her sight. She frowned and turned around naturally.
The old man behind her looked at the back of Muriel's head discontentedly and said to the person next to him, "Nowadays the youngsters are absurd. Why do you dye your hair into silver? They are out of their mind."
The man could only give a wry smile.
Muriel didn't turn back until the old man walked away. She looked at his back with deep eyes.
What happened two months ago was still vivid in her mind. At that time, Muriel was still the leader of the special forces. After a mission, she was injured and returned to the team. She received the news that her grandfather asked her to go home.
As soon as Muriel returned home, the nanny immediately stepped forward to take her luggage. When her grandfather, who was reading newspaper in the living room, heard that Muriel had come back, he didn't move his eyes away from the newspaper. His granddaughter had finally come back home once in a year and a half, but he didn't go forward to welcome her with joy.
Muriel saw her grandfather reading newspaper in the living room. With an expressionless face, she went straight to the spiral staircase and was about to go upstairs.
"Son of a bitch! Where are your manners if you don't greet the elders when you get home?" Grandpa scolded angrily.
Muriel didn't change her expression. She turned around and walked to her grandfather. "I'm back."
"Sit down." Grandpa threw the newspaper on the sofa and looked at Muriel seriously.
Muriel sat on the sofa and looked at her grandfather. Her grandfather would not specially ask her to go home for nothing.
"You and I will go to Grandpa Zhou's birthday party tonight. The dress is ready in your room. We should be there by 6 p.m. You go to wash and dress up now." Joseph Mu looked his granddaughter up and down. He had left her in the army since she was a child. She had shoulder length hair, a well-proportioned figure, and a heroic spirit.
'It's lucky that she is energetic and looks good. Mr. Zhou must be satisfied with my granddaughter, ' thought Joseph Mu.
"Just a birthday party?" Obviously, Muriel didn't believe what her grandfather said. If it was just a birthday party, would her grandfather specially let her ask for leave and go home? 'Doesn't grandpa hate me being in his sight the most?'
"What do you mean?" A glint flashed through his eyes.
Muriel looked at him coldly and said, "Don't you want me to die in the battlefield to donate my life for the country? If it weren't for something important, you wouldn't want me to come back at all. If it's just a simple birthday party, you can take anyone with you. Why do you have to take me? It's not your style. "
"You..." Joseph Mu didn't expect his granddaughter to be so difficult to fool, "Mr. Zhou has grown up, and his grandson Leonard Zhou has also reached the marriageable age. You two are both in the army, so you should have a lot to talk about. To put it bluntly, today I'll take you to a blind date. Behave yourself later. Don't embarrass me. "
Sitting on the sofa, Muriel couldn't help clenching her fists. With a cold look in her eyes, she said coldly, "I won't go."
