The two drove the car over and saw that it was in Mu Jiu Chen's car.
"No one!"
The two: "..."
"Big brother, could he be around here?"
The older brother driving looked around, his face a mess. "Mu Jiu Chen's whereabouts are already difficult to track. He hadn't slept for a day and a night, and finally caught up with him, only to lose him again in the blink of an eye."
"Isn't that true? Damn, this money is really hard to earn."
The man looked exhausted and was also searching for Mu Jiu Chen's figure.
Elder Master Jiang's residence was not far from Jiang Nuan's, and after 20 minutes, they arrived at the old man's house.
As they got out of the car, the few people saw the picturesque scenery in the yard, and even the Jiang Yu Kuo siblings were stunned.
The small courtyard was not very large, but every corner was filled with artistic flair.
"Wow! Grandpa's house is so beautiful!" Jiang Si Yun's big eyes sparkled, and her beautiful, rosy face showed undisguised affection.
Hide-and-seek would be so fun in this courtyard.
No matter how mature a child is, they still have a childlike heart.
Mu Jiu Chen picked her up and looked at the silly little girl, smiling, "Darling, Daddy has such a beautiful house too!"
He hoped his daughter would envy what he had, and that he could give her anything.
"Wow! Daddy is so awesome!" Jiang Si Yun was completely won over by Mu Jiu Chen. Her sweet calls of "Daddy" resonated with Mu Jiu Chen.
The simple phrase "so awesome" made Mu Jiu Chen's heart bloom with joy.
Jiang Nuan shook her head helplessly. Mu Jiu Chen didn't fight her for the children, so she dared to let them interact with him.
"Nuan Nuan, you're here." The old man walked out refreshed, wearing a light gray Zhongshan suit. His erect posture still carried the military man's upright bearing. He smiled at them with great affection.
As his gaze swept over Mu Jiu Chen, his expression suddenly soured.
Mu Jiu Chen smiled obsequiously and called out, "Grandpa."
As expected, the old man really didn't like him.
"Mmm!" The old man nodded. Mu Jiu Chen was truly clingy.
"Nuan Nuan, darlings, come in quickly." The old man was very happy, finally not having to spend the fifteenth alone.
Although he still had siblings, it was clear that they only cared about his money and did not treat him as a true family member.
Now that he had found Nuan Nuan, he finally had someone to rely on.
As they entered the main hall, the servants, seeing the old man's happiness, busied themselves with preparing dinner.
Mu Jiu Chen was very eloquent in business matters. The old man, who had originally disliked him, quickly found common ground with Mu Jiu Chen.
Jiang Nuan watched the man who was talking animatedly. His every move was elegant and noble. He listened attentively, occasionally nodding slightly. Only after the old man finished speaking did he slowly reply, his voice deep, clear, and pleasant to the ear. His every action was pleasing to the eye.
It was evident that the old man's attitude had shifted from dislike to surprise, and then to amiability. Mu Jiu Chen had perfectly grasped the old man's state of mind, making himself the master of the situation.
Jiang Nuan couldn't help but smile slightly.
As if sensing Jiang Nuan's gaze, Mu Jiu Chen suddenly looked at her and met her admiring eyes. A faint smile touched the depths of Mu Jiu Chen's eyes.
Caught in the act, Jiang Nuan quickly averted her gaze and lowered her eyes to play games with the children. Her blushing cheeks, however, betrayed her emotions.
Mu Jiu Chen smiled. Because he loved her, he loved all her little quirks and whims even more.
Lu Qiao Yi had received a call from her friend early in the day.
She came all the way from Modu to visit her. Around four o'clock, she arrived at the agreed-upon location, and it wasn't until four in the afternoon that she finally saw Jiang Mu Yan.
Jiang Mu Yan emerged from a taxi. Her white, fitted suit showcased her assertive side, yet it didn't detract from her sweetness. Her features were sweet, and her face was faintly flushed from the stuffiness of the car.
Lu Qiao Yi looked at her with a hint of complaint. "Mu Yan, didn't you say you'd be here at three? I've been waiting here for an hour."
Su Mu Yan smiled and patted her arm. "Mwah, thanks for waiting, Yi Yi. Didn't I call you after hearing you were here?"
As she spoke, she took out a brocade box from her bag and handed it to Lu Qiao Yi. "Here, this is a gift for you."
Lu Qiao Yi knew the gift was valuable just by looking at the gift box. She glanced at the travel-worn Su Mu Yan and asked, "Why are you rushing here in such a hurry? It's the fifteenth of August today, aren't you spending the holiday with your family?"
Su Mu Yan's expression soured when she heard this. She complained, "I wanted to spend the holiday with Mom and Dad, but my grandfather wouldn't allow it. My grandfather has an older brother, my great-uncle, who is very wealthy. Grandpa said that Great-Uncle likes granddaughters and told me to honor him well. After Great-Uncle passes away, everything he has will be mine."
"So, I'm here to spend the holiday with Great-Uncle. But I don't like that old man at all. He's stubborn and aloof, not saying much, but he's polite to me."
"Even so, I don't want to have dinner with an old man. I want to meet you for dinner and then go over there after seven."
"Wow!" Lu Qiao Yi looked envious. "You have such good fortune falling upon you, and you're still not taking good care of that old man?"
She, who had been a phoenix, had now become a fake phoenix, living each day in trepidation.
Su Mu Yan spat lightly, her expression turning a little grim. "It's just that I don't like sitting at the same table with him. His family has a lot of rules. Why would an old man live so meticulously? He's already half in the grave."
"Alright, Yi Yi, let's not talk about him. I'll go over at seven in the evening. Anyway, no one will inherit all his money, and my grandfather is his brother, and I am his granddaughter, so I will also become his only heir. It's all easy money anyway, so I don't need to curry favor with him desperately. Just put on a good show, and let's go have fun. I heard there's a party at the Tai He Hotel tonight. I wonder if Mu Jiu Chen will be there?"
Lu Qiao Yi looked at her with some surprise. "You like Mu Jiu Chen too?"
"What are you talking about? The Ninth Master of Jinshi, if you ask women all over the world, who doesn't like him? The women who can marry Rong Yin and Mu Jiu Chen are extraordinary people. Since I've finally come to Jinshi, of course I won't miss the chance to meet Mu Jiu Chen."
Of course, she wouldn't miss the chance to meet Rong Yin in Modu either, but recently, Rong Yin had also been in Jinshi.
Su Mu Yan didn't notice the unpleasant expression on Lu Qiao Yi's face. She hailed a taxi by the roadside and pulled Lu Qiao Yi into it.
Lu Qiao Yi's purpose for staying here was self-evident: Mu Jiu Chen.
If she could marry Mu Jiu Chen, even if her identity were exposed later, she would still have someone to rely on, a fallback.
But seeing Mu Jiu Chen was as difficult as ascending to heaven. During her time in Jinshi, she had very few opportunities to see Mu Jiu Chen.
She didn't say anything, listening to Jiang Mu Yan chatter endlessly.
