Jiang Muyan’s eyes widened in amazement. Who was this?
Why did they look so familiar?!
And they were leaving in Grandpa’s private car?!
It was infuriating. Mu Jiu Chen hadn’t even shown up at the earlier reception. Seeing that it was all third-rate families, she’d lost interest instantly.
As for Lu Qiaoyi, she had left in a hurry after receiving a phone call from someone.
Jiang Muyan looked at the magnificent gate before her. Damn it, she had to deal with this old man again. It was disgusting.
Grandpa was truly something. Her great-grandfather had no successor, and the prize was practically in hand. Was it possible it would slip away? Yet, he insisted on her coming to feign filial piety.
She took a deep breath before smiling and walking in.
It was all because her parents were useless. They only had a small renovation company, and it was her great-grandfather who had helped them achieve some scale. However, compared to a true top-tier family like Lu Qiaoyi’s, her family’s thousand small companies couldn’t compare to the Lu family.
Her ability to mingle in high society depended entirely on her mysterious grandfather. She had also intentionally approached Lu Qiaoyi to get acquainted.
Jiang Wei also walked out from inside. Seeing Jiang Muyan, he smiled and said, "Miss Muyan, you're here."
"Yes, Uncle Jiang," Jiang Muyan smiled. "Where is my grandfather? My flight was delayed, so I didn't get to have dinner with him. I rushed over to admire the moon with him."
Jiang Wei’s expression was amiable. "It's alright. The old master is used to being alone these years. Miss Muyan, you are thoughtful. Please come in."
"Okay!" Su Muyan nodded. She looked at her great-grandfather's villa, which was much grander than her own home. It seemed her great-grandfather's wealth was even greater than they usually saw. Just this location and villa were worth over a hundred million.
If she could own a villa like this, she would be set for life.
She might as well serve this great-grandfather diligently.
"Oh, Uncle Jiang, when I came in, I saw Grandpa’s car leaving. Did someone visit today?"
The handsome man in the car looked so familiar. Who was he? She couldn’t recall for a moment.
Jiang Wei’s gaze flickered. "It was one of the old master’s guests, here to offer his blessings." Since she asked, it meant she hadn’t seen Miss and the others.
"Oh? A guest? Who was it? He was very handsome." Jiang Muyan said this, but her heart was pounding. In her life, she had never seen such a dazzling man.
She had to find out who it was!
"Oh! It was the old master’s guest, the famous Ninth Master from Jin City." It seemed she really hadn’t seen the young lady’s family, which put him at ease.
"What? Mu Jiu Chen?" Jiang Muyan was stunned. What had she missed?
Jiang Wei nodded slightly and said no more.
Jiang Muyan was shocked. Could she meet Mu Jiu Chen through her great-grandfather?
Jiang Muyan felt that coming this time was the right decision.
From afar, she saw her great-grandfather strolling in the garden. She smiled and ran over.
Jiang Beichen had eaten four mooncakes made by Jiang Nuan after she left, because they were too delicious. He was stuffed and felt uncomfortable.
He always had a strong sense of self-control, but these were mooncakes made by Nuan Nuan for him. They were visually appealing and delicious. Even after eating his fill, he still wanted more, which led to him overeating.
His stomach felt a bit unwell, but he was still happy.
"Great Grandpa," Jiang Muyan called out sweetly.
Jiang Beichen glanced at her and smiled, "Yan Yan, you're here?" His tone was unhurried and quite gentle.
"Great Grandpa, I’m sorry. My flight was delayed, so I couldn’t have dinner with you. You’re not angry with me, are you?" Jiang Muyan made every word sound sweet. The old man loved obedient girls the most, and she had always strived to maintain her image as an obedient girl.
Jiang Beichen glanced at her. If she wanted to come for dinner, he would find a way to stop her. He wouldn’t let anyone disturb his reunion with Nuan Nuan.
"It’s alright. I’m used to being alone. I ate too much, so I’m taking a walk. Yan Yan, you should go inside and rest." His voice was faint, without much emotion.
Jiang Muyan felt like she was offering a warm welcome and getting a cold shoulder.
"Okay, Great Grandpa." She would ask about Mu Jiu Chen later.
In the car, the three children looked at the red envelopes, which contained a full ten thousand yuan.
"Wow!" Jiang Yichen was pleasantly surprised. "This is the biggest red envelope I’ve ever received. I’m going to show it off!"
He looked at his younger brother. "Second brother, look at my red envelope. Surprised? Shocked? Mom said we should be low-key."
Jiang Shaoqing: "..."
"I have one too. Stop showing off. Mom said we should be low-key."
Jiang Shaoqing, reacting a beat slower, suddenly realized and looked at his elder brother in surprise. "Who did you just say you wanted to give something to?"
Jiang Siyun said slowly, "Wow! Eldest brother, so you like that delicate little white lotus?"
She found Yang Shuying, that delicate young lady, tiring to look at.
When she felt wronged, it was as if the whole world owed her.
When she was happy, she wished everyone knew how happy she was.
She was too delicate. She would cry even if she ate chili. If her ankle was even slightly red, she would cry.
And she was called a little fairy all day long. In Jiang Siyun’s opinion, she was just a delicate little white lotus.
Jiang Yukuo’s big eyes blinked, looking very cute and honest. "Because she’s very pretty!"
Jiang Nuan, who was usually drowsy, didn't usually pay attention to what the children were talking about.
As Mu Jiu Chen listened, he felt something was amiss.
They already knew how to please girls at such a young age. What would they be like when they grew up?
None of these three children were easy.
He felt they were all gay. How could he straighten them out!
Mu Jiu Chen glanced back at Jiang Nuan.
"..." She was actually asleep!!!
It made sense, though. She had been on a call late last night; she must be very tired.
Mu Jiu Chen let the children talk and didn't intervene.
The children’s happiness was the most important thing!
Rong Yin spent the day in a daze. First, he went to the hotel and found Rong Yao. Seeing him embracing a beauty and holding a goblet of fine wine, living a life of luxury and debauchery, Rong Yin felt furious and distressed.
While he was enjoying wealth and luxury here, occupying his elder brother’s life, Rong Yin, in a fit of rage, beat Rong Yao.
Rong Yao, beaten to the point of losing his teeth, angrily asked, "Why are you hitting me? I’m your elder brother... Are you crazy?"
Rong Yin hitting him was not just due to anger, but other matters as well. A construction site he managed had an accident due to his negligence, resulting in several deaths. Yet, he refused to return to handle it and was indulging in revelry here.
Rong Yin did not answer Rong Yao and turned to leave the hotel.
Rong Yao looked at Rong Yin’s retreating figure, then at his own blood on the ground. Killing intent gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Rong Yin, you’re looking for death. I’ll grant you your wish." He smiled wickedly and took out his phone to make a call.
Rong Yin walked out through the alley behind the hotel. As he reached the depths of the alley, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the darkness and surrounded him.
