Jiang Nuan said, "There are many connections. Things have happened one after another. Don't you find it strange?"
"On the first day, many people at the banquet suffered from diarrhea, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing. On the second day, the Lu family's medicine had an incident. The evidence left by Manager Zhu, although not conclusive, was somewhat related to them. On the third day, you were attacked."
"Things happen every day. I don't know what will happen today. I've already tested the food from that day. It wasn't food poisoning, but rather a virus was placed in the food."
"This matter is now under thorough investigation, and the result is simple: the hotel's surveillance footage was destroyed. I tried to recover it, but the other party's methods were more sophisticated. They completely destroyed the surveillance before acting, leaving no trace."
Mu Jiuchen: "This indicates that the other party is fully aware of our movements."
Jiang Nuan nodded, "Yes!"
Jiang Nuan predicted that Jiang Yuxin should make her move.
Mu Jiuchen was quite familiar with the roads in Modu. Upon arriving at the mall, he parked the car in the underground parking lot, got out, opened the car door, and let Jiang Nuan out.
Jiang Nuan was dressed comfortably today, a white casual suit that looked neat and capable on her.
Mu Jiuchen liked her attire, and his expression softened considerably.
"My wife is beautiful every day!" Mu Jiuchen dared not say, "My wife, you look so beautiful today."
He remembered贺铭润 saying in the group chat yesterday, "Wife, you look so beautiful today!"
Then, Meng Yuan directly retorted, "In your eyes, I'm only beautiful today?"
Good heavens, He Mingrun was startled and quickly said, "My wife is beautiful every day!"
He Mingrun then added, "Women are so hard to please, and pregnant women are even harder to please!"
Mu Jiuchen learned his lesson.
When speaking, one should always say the most pleasing words.
Jiang Nuan was amused by his words. She crossed her arms and looked at him with a lazy smile, "Mu Jiuchen, have you really done something you regret? Why has your mouth suddenly become so sweet?"
Mu Jiuchen shook his head, "Wife, I swear by heaven and earth, if I have done anything to betray you, may lightning strike me."
"Crude," Jiang Nuan said with a smile and walked towards the elevator. Turning back, her smile gradually widened.
Undeniably, nice words make people feel happy.
Mu Jiuchen rubbed his nose, looking at Jiang Nuan's receding figure, and muttered to himself, "Where is it crude?"
She didn't know how insecure he felt in front of her.
He was afraid his machismo would upset her.
He was afraid she would dislike him for being taciturn.
He was afraid she would dislike him for being unromantic.
He did everything with great care.
He Mingrun was right; women were indeed hard to please!
Mu Jiuchen grumbled a few words inwardly and quickly followed.
Jiang Nuan didn't really need to buy anything.
She had initially thought of buying some princess dresses for her daughter, but when she opened her daughter's closet, her mother had already bought an entire wardrobe, one dress for each day, enough to last a month.
Her daughter was to be pampered, but she herself had always raised her casually, unlike her mother who raised her meticulously.
In the elevator, Mu Jiuchen asked, "Wife, is there anything you want to buy?"
Jiang Nuan looked at him, feeling a sense of his nervousness, "I'm not buying anything, I'll buy for Yunyun."
"That won't do. I'll take you to buy beautiful clothes later."
Mu Jiuchen had already made up his mind.
"Alright," Jiang Nuan didn't argue with him. Arguing with someone stubborn was simply a waste of breath.
Mu Jiuchen then smiled.
...
At a nearby club.
Jiang Yuxin looked at the man in the black robe before her.
The man in the black robe said, "Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen are at a nearby mall. You've failed all your missions this time. Jiang Yuxin, I'm truly disappointed in you. If you fail again this time, don't blame me for being impolite."
Jiang Yuxin looked at him with a hint of fear, "Didn't you say you would bring my father's business to Modu? I've done so much for you, and your promise hasn't been fulfilled."
During this time, she was constantly reminded of Jiang Nuan's words: they were merely pawns in these people's games, their stepping stones.
The previous cases made her break out in a cold sweat just thinking about them.
"You scoundrel, I've already stabilized your father's business. What more do you want? Do you think doing business is as simple as playing house? It has to be done step by step. Your father hasn't said anything, so what right do you have to criticize me? Go and do as I say immediately. Jiang Nuan hasn't completely fallen out with you yet. Go and trick Jiang Nuan here."
"As for Mu Jiuchen, you won't be able to trick him."
Jiang Yuxin trembled all over. She wouldn't dare to trick Mu Jiuchen.
That man was truly ruthless!
"I've already arranged the room opposite for you. All you need to do is bring the person over, and I'll handle the rest."
The man's hoarse voice carried a hint of ferocity.
Jiang Yuxin could be discarded.
Without Jiang Nuan's demise, they would not succeed.
Every plan had been thwarted by Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen.
"What if I can't trick her?" Jiang Yuxin stared intently at him.
"Idiot, if you can't even handle such a small matter, what else can you do?" The man was exasperated.
Jiang Yuxin stared at him, "All the incidents in the past two days have failed. Jiang Nuan is truly formidable!"
"Hmph! No matter how formidable someone is, they can never escape schemes and tricks. Don't waste time, go over there now. Mu Jiuchen will leave soon," the man commanded sharply.
They had no turning back. They had to go all out.
Things would be easier after this, especially since he had already reached the highest position.
Jiang Yuxin bit her lip and finally left.
Mu Jiuchen bought a few sets of spring clothes with Jiang Nuan.
Then he took Jiang Nuan to buy clothes for their daughter and son. He remembered that it was the change of season, so they could buy more.
Mu Jiuchen took all the styles he liked. Some were sent back to Jinshi, and some were kept in Modu for Jiang Nuan to wear anytime.
Jiang Nuan was quite helpless. She didn't say anything when Mu Jiuchen bought out an entire store.
His unease made her feel guilty.
After buying for Jiang Nuan, Mu Jiuchen took her to the children's clothing section.
Mu Jiuchen looked at the beautiful princess dresses. His daughter was beautiful and looked good in any outfit.
He bought everything he liked.
Jiang Nuan watched him pay generously before saying, "Did you buy next year's and the year after's clothes all at once?"
"It's fine, my little princess should wear beautiful clothes." Mu Jiuchen was very generous when buying things.
The store clerks were all smiles.
After filling in the address, Mu Jiuchen took Jiang Nuan out.
His phone rang. Seeing it was Chen Feng, he answered.
"Ninth Master, something has happened at our newly opened pharmaceutical factory."
Mu Jiuchen hung up the phone, wanting to say something.
He saw Jiang Yuxin standing not far away.
His gaze flickered, and a hint of confusion crossed his eyes. He said to Jiang Nuan, "Wife, I need to go to the factory. Something has happened there."
