“Brother Chen, please, don't do this to me. I have nowhere else to go if I leave the Imperial Cuisine. You're my only hope.” Chu Yunying cried, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't leave.
Mu Jiuchen looked at her mockingly. "Didn't you sell the villa you extorted from Miss Ye for tens of millions? How can you have nowhere to go?"
Chu Yunying's eyes widened in shock. How did he know about that?
"Brother Chen..."
"Get out!" Mu Jiuchen glared at her unceremoniously.
Chu Yunying's lips parted, wanting to say something, but no words came out.
Mu Jiuchen turned and got into his car indifferently, driving away.
Lu Chengsi returned from the morning meeting and saw this scene, his expression turning grim.
Why was a woman showing up here to find Mu Jiuchen?
After Chu Yunying left, Lu Chengsi drove back.
Jiang Nuan saw her third brother at home, and the worry in her heart finally eased.
"Nuan Nuan, what exactly happened last night?" Lu Jinyan looked at her anxiously.
Jiang Nuan slowly sat down on the sofa. Not seeing her mother, she said, "The matter has been resolved. It was Ye Anran's trap."
"This woman..." Lu Jinyan was furious. "Why don't we expose her directly?"
Jiang Nuan shook her head, her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowing. "It's useless. There's no evidence. In the records, Lu Qiaoyi is already dead. It would only alert her. I have a way, brother, don't worry. You just need to worry about not being schemed against by her."
Lu Jinyan: "..." He felt like his sister thought he was very stupid!
Mu Jiuchen parked the car and walked in. Not seeing the children, he asked, "Where are the children?"
Lu Jinyan: "Aren't you two going back the day after tomorrow? Mother took them out to buy things."
"Good!" Mu Jiuchen went to make tea.
A few minutes later, Lu Sicheng also returned.
"Dad, you're back."
Lu Chengsi nodded at his daughter.
Seeing his daughter sitting on the sofa with a poor complexion, and then seeing his son-in-law emerge from the kitchen with tea, he sat down next to his daughter and asked in a low voice, "Nuan Nuan, did Mu Jiuchen bully you?"
Jiang Nuan smiled and shook her head. "No!" Da Feng Novel Network
"Really?" Lu Chengsi was somewhat disbelieving.
Jiang Nuan smiled. "Really."
Mu Jiuchen had already heard his father-in-law's words. He glanced coldly at his father-in-law and retorted without reservation, "Dad, you're trying to drive a wedge between us."
Lu Chengsi was stunned. How could he do such a thing?
Why did this unexpected accusation land on him? "I was just concerned about my daughter. And a woman came looking for you just now, you saw it clearly."
Lu Jinyan also looked at Mu Jiuchen in surprise. "Did you really cheat? Yingying said she saw you entangled with a woman, and I used my life to guarantee you wouldn't cheat!"
Mu Jiuchen: "!!" Thank you very much for guaranteeing it with your life.
Mu Jiuchen placed the tea in front of Jiang Nuan before saying, "Nuan Nuan saw it too."
Lu Jinyan and Lu Chengsi quickly looked at Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan nodded with a smile. "It was a sister he used to take care of. It's nothing."
Lu Chengsi was finally relieved. "That's good. As long as a couple loves each other, they can get through anything."
Mu Jiuchen breathed a sigh of relief, almost unable to clear his name.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Nuan went upstairs to continue preparing medicine for the real Ye Anran.
In the afternoon, she came out of the pharmacy, covered in a lot of medicinal powder. She went back to her room to change.
Spring had arrived, and it was time for skirts. It wasn't too cold in the afternoon, the temperature was just right.
Jiang Nuan walked around the walk-in closet and saw the white dress her mother had bought her. She hadn't worn it yet. She took it down and put it on. The white long dress felt very comfortable.
She went downstairs and saw her mother and a maid making dinner in the kitchen. The two children were in the yard with their uncle, racing bicycles. Her father had gone to the backyard to accompany her grandfather. The harmonious scene in the house looked very happy!
Jiang Nuan went to the kitchen to help. Jin Yan saw her daughter finally wearing a dress, her tall figure, wearing this hollowed-out long dress, was incredibly beautiful.
"Nuan Nuan, you're so beautiful!" Jin Yan smiled.
The maid couldn't help but praise Jiang Nuan as well.
Jiang Nuan also liked being praised, smiling happily.
"Mom, let me help you."
Jin Yan quickly stopped her. "No, no, you just rest. Dinner will be ready soon."
Jin Yan wiped her hands and adjusted Jiang Nuan's dress. "I fought with Ye Anran over this dress back then, but it looks even prettier on my daughter!"
Jiang Nuan also remembered.
"Huh? What is this?" Jin Yan saw something the size of a button in a gap on the side of her waist. She didn't remember this style of clothing having such an incompatible accessory.
Jiang Nuan bent over to look. She was slightly taken aback. It didn't look like a button.
Jiang Nuan gave it a hard tug and it came off, revealing a miniature listening device.
Jiang Nuan's gaze narrowed. It seemed her encounter with Ye Anran that day wasn't accidental, but intentional, and installing the listening device was her true objective.
Jin Yan didn't understand, but seeing her daughter take off the accessory made her look much better.
Jiang Nuan looked thoughtful and said to her mother, "Mom, I'm going upstairs."
"Okay, okay, come down for dinner in ten minutes."
"Okay!" Jiang Nuan smiled and left.
She held the listening device in her hand and went back upstairs to the study, taking out a detector to scan it. It was indeed an invisible detector, and a high-tech one that couldn't be bought on the market.
Jiang Nuan's eyes narrowed. She destroyed the listening device. There was unlikely to be only one listening device in the house.
"Wife." Mu Jiuchen pushed the door open.
Jiang Nuan turned to look at him. "Mm!"
Mu Jiuchen walked to her side and said, "I've already bought the plane tickets."
"Okay!" Jiang Nuan showed him the listening device she had destroyed. "The first day I met Ye Anran, she planted a listening device on my clothes."
Mu Jiuchen's gaze flickered, and he looked at her, saying, "I've set a trap for them."
Jiang Nuan looked at him meaningfully, smiling and asking, "What trap?"
Mu Jiuchen lowered his gaze slightly, his deep eyes quietly meeting hers.
He reached out and gently pinched her cheek.
"I won't tell you yet. I told you, this time, I'll protect you."
Jiang Nuan: "..."
"Let's go down for dinner." Mu Jiuchen gently took her hand.
Jiang Nuan smiled and followed him downstairs.
...
Chu Yunying found Ye Anran with a troubled heart.
They sat face to face in a private room at a club.
Chu Yunying was very angry. "Ye Anran, you actually arranged for me to be with that scumbag last night. I almost died."
Ye Anran looked at her coldly, a malicious smile curving her lips. "Aren't you still alive?"
Chu Yunying: "..." How infuriating!
"Hmph!" Chu Yunying was very angry. "Ye Anran, don't get too smug. I asked you to meet me because I have something very important to tell you."
Ye Anran frowned. She had gone to find Mu Jiuchen today. What could it be?
"What is it?"
