Mu Sichen and Mu Xue also went along.
Mu Jiuchen, worried about the elder, accompanied his grandfather for the entire examination.
Meanwhile, Jiang Nuan, Mu Sichen, and the other two waited outside.
Mu Xue looked at Jiang Nuan and warned her, "Jiang Nuan, while my father is still breathing, return the property deed. Otherwise, I won't let this matter rest."
Jiang Nuan also felt this matter was troublesome. She appreciated the elder's intentions.
Mu Xue's assertiveness was also a hassle. If she wanted to return it, but the elder refused, what could she do?
Mu Sichen looked at his aunt and frowned slightly, angrily stating, "Aunt, Grandpa's distribution is very reasonable. Why are you still not satisfied? Haven't you incurred gambling debts again? You've been in Jinshi for this period and rarely visited the capital. Have you divorced your uncle?"
Mu Xue couldn't be bothered to argue with Mu Sichen. She was in dire need of money now.
Once she got the villa, she would sell it for billions, quit gambling, pay off her debts, and live a good life.
But for now, she had to get the property deed back first.
Seeing his aunt remain silent, Mu Sichen's lips curved into a cold smile, "Aunt, did I guess correctly? What are you plotting? I'm telling you, you can't possibly take Grandpa's old assets anymore."
Jiang Nuan looked at Mu Sichen with some surprise.
The man who appeared roguish and unruly could actually say such words, which was truly unexpected.
Mu Xue looked at Mu Sichen, a hint of scrutiny in her eyes. She sneered, "Oh! You brat, you've grown up and can finally speak some human words."
"But I still have to tell you, just because you and your father don't fight for anything doesn't mean I won't. Your father's possessions are also half mine. Everything else was given to you all, and I was only given a villa. How much is that villa worth? If you give me the old house, I won't bother the Mu family again."
"Hmph! Don't even think about it. Grandpa's things, I will protect them well, and I won't let you take another cent."
Mu Xue is a gambling addict; a dog that eats shit cannot change its ways.
She will never quit gambling in this lifetime!
The aunt and nephew continued to quarrel. Jiang Nuan didn't say a word.
This continued until Mu Jiuchen pushed the elder out.
The elder had woken up. Seeing Mu Sichen and Mu Xue, his expression wasn't very good.
"Grandpa, are you alright?" Mu Sichen stepped forward to ask with concern.
The elder shook his head gently, "I'm fine."
At that moment, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, lost his balance, and tumbled down the stairs.
"Dad, when I entered, Mu Sichen was standing behind you. Was it really not Mu Sichen who pushed you?"
If it was, she could control the entire Mu family.
Once Mu Sichen was out of the picture, she would be the biggest beneficiary of the Mu family.
Her eldest brother was now wholeheartedly accompanying his little darling wife and had no time to manage the company.
The elder said, "Sichen is not as malicious as you think. I've spoken with him, and he has come to his senses. He will manage the company properly from now on, unlike you, who have a heart as venomous as a snake."
While Mu Xue was filled with disappointment, she was also unhappy with her father's words.
What was wrong with her coveting her own family's possessions?
Was she not even as good as Mu Jiuchen, an outsider?
Mu Jiuchen looked at Jiang Nuan and said, "Nuannuan, Grandpa is not seriously injured. After his fracture is cast, he can return home to recuperate."
The elder was lucky and usually had a strong constitution, thus escaping disaster.
"Okay! I'll help Grandpa recuperate when we get home." She had nothing else to do anyway.
The elder was still very weak but still smiled and said, "Nuannuan, you've worked hard."
"Grandpa, it's my duty." Jiang Nuan smiled and took the elder to get his cast.
As age makes recovery difficult, such a severe physical blow would weaken the body further.
Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan brought the elder home by afternoon.
He Junshu, knowing the elder would be staying here to recuperate, decided to stay and look after him for a while.
Half a month passed uneventfully!
However, Jiang Nuan felt a lingering sense of unease in her heart. Even the people who had wanted Yun Xia dead seemed to have fallen silent.
The more it was like this, the more uneasy Jiang Nuan felt!
She felt as if a massive net was closing in on them, suffocating her.
The next day, Jiang Nuan went to see Nanzhou. Nanzhou had just returned from meeting Number One.
"Nuannuan, these are the samples I brought back. Recently, this medicine is being used by many people in society. Its aftereffects are immeasurable. It is not a drug for market release and is very dangerous."
Jiang Nuan carefully identified the ingredients before saying, "It contains sedative and analgesic effects. Ordinary citizens would also use it as a cold medicine."
"Yes, a portion has been retrieved from the market, but the source of its distribution has not been found. The other party seems to be very aware of Number One's methods, always able to catch wind of things and stay one step ahead of Number One. Number One is very anxious now. His tasks are very heavy. Nuannuan, if your health is not a major concern, you might have to end your vacation early."
The two of them had not come this far easily.
They would not easily withdraw from the organization; they shared the same dream.
To try their best to help innocent people.
Jiang Nuan didn't care about these things. She had grown accustomed to a busy life over the years.
"Nanzhou, I'll take the medicine back to study. I'll let you know if I find anything."
"Alright, Nuannuan, take care of yourself." Nanzhou gave her a gentle smile.
After having lunch with Nanzhou, Jiang Nuan returned home.
Under Jiang Nuan's care, the elder recovered remarkably fast.
After twenty days, he returned to reside in the old house.
Mu Sichen came to pick up the elder. Mu Sichen assured Mu Jiuchen that he would take good care of the elder.
Mu Jiuchen had not been idle during this period. He had secretly installed high-tech protective devices in the elder's residence.
There were always bodyguards stationed around him.
Mu Jiuchen had been delayed for half a month and was busy with work. He had to go to the company today and asked Jiang Nuan to accompany him to the company at noon.
Jiang Nuan, understanding his hard work, agreed. After having lunch with Yun Xia, she packed lunch and went to Mu's Group to find Mu Jiuchen.
Jiang Nuan changed into a slightly more upscale outfit: a white base layer, black skinny jeans, and a black trench coat. Her hair had grown quite a bit. She no longer wore a wig. Her neat and refreshing short hair made her look heroic and spirited.
Mu Jiuchen had informed the receptionist, and Jiang Nuan smoothly entered.
This was Jiang Nuan's second time visiting Mu Jiuchen's company. She took the president's exclusive elevator directly to the top floor.
The door was ajar. As Jiang Nuan stepped inside, she heard ambiguous sounds.
"Nuannuan…" This was the tone Mu Jiuchen used when he was emotionally aroused, gentle and soft. The word uttered from his mouth was like a treasure in the world, always making Jiang Nuan place this man entirely in her heart. If only she could say "Mu Jiuchen, I love you too!"
Jiang Nuan's heart ached instantly, a sharp, needle-like pain. She walked in and saw Mu Jiuchen embracing a woman on the sofa, tearing at the woman's clothes.
Jiang Nuan's eyes suddenly widened, and she stared at the scene before her in disbelief.
The two were engrossed, seemingly not noticing Jiang Nuan's arrival.
