Tan Xue frowned, looking at him. "What can you tell me?"
In her impression, Mu Jiuchen had never treated her like a person.
He had never respected her as his stepmother and had always been arrogant in front of her.
Mu Jiuchen sat down leisurely opposite her, gracefully crossing his long legs, and then looked at her, saying, "Do you remember the night my mother died? You were near my house that night. I saw you, and I was very confused as to why someone would hide near my house."
"I was young then and didn't understand why I was almost hit by a car. It was after my mother's funeral. When I left, a car clearly tried to hit me. Later, I got into a taxi, and the car gave up, but they still didn't give up in the end."
"Do you know who saved me that night?"
Tan Xue's gaze flickered, and her expression was also pained. Could it be what she was thinking?
"It was Nuannuan. I stayed with her for three days and three nights. Those three days and nights were very happy for me. She was very young, but she lived her life very diligently."
"When I returned from there, I found you by my father's side. So, at that time, I knew that your involvement was related to the cause of my mother's death."
Tan Xue smiled and asked, "Do you have any proof?" Her hoarse voice could barely form a coherent sound.
"Proof is no longer of much use to me. Now, I want to tell you another piece of good news. You haven't succeeded all these years because I have been suppressing you in secret. Everything you do is under my control. I can send you to prison at any time. In front of me, you will always be a clown." Mu Jiuchen's face was filled with disdain and mockery.
"However, I regret my decision now because you have caused my child and the person I love to be hurt. Your only son, I will also make his life worse than death. Have you heard of a son paying for his mother's debt?"
"Mu Jiuchen, what do you want?" He was her only concern, her only son in this world.
"I don't want anything. I will do to him what you did to me."
"Mu Jiuchen, you are shameless!" Tan Xue roared in anger, but she was helpless.
She couldn't even compete with Mu Jiuchen, let alone her foolish son.
"I am shameless? This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine. You can harm me, but I can't harm you? Is there such a thing in this world?"
After Mu Jiuchen finished speaking with a smile, he stood up to leave.
Tan Xue quickly stopped him. "Mu Jiuchen, what do you want me to do for you to let Sichen go? After all, he is your brother!" Tan Xue looked at him calmly.
She had always thought she could compete with Mu Jiuchen. Although he seemed very deep, he would never discover what she had done.
Seeing that she had taken the bait, Mu Jiuchen smiled and asked, "Who is Nuannuan?"
Tan Xue was stunned and shook her head slightly. "Only Jiang Shuo knows who Jiang Nuannuan is. After I parted ways with him, I never contacted him again. We each went our own way."
"However, Jiang Nuannuan and Jiang Xingyu were both brought from the capital by her."
Not getting the information he wanted, Mu Jiuchen's expression was grim. "What about Yunyun? You have been her mother for over twenty years, don't you have any love for her? I remember you were also pregnant back then, so how did the child become Mu Yunyun?"
Tan Xue lowered her head and remained silent, seeming to have unspeakable difficulties.
Mu Jiuchen looked at her coldly, knowing that Tan Xue might not tell the truth at this moment, but even a sliver of a clue would bring some hope.
Mu Yunyun was not bad, just that their relationship was not good.
"Don't you want to say it? You raised her for over twenty years, don't you have any feelings for her?" Mu Jiuchen said again.
Tan Xue still did not speak.
Mu Jiuchen knew how taciturn Tan Xue was. She pretended to be elegant, but in reality, she often calculated various pros and cons in her heart. "Do you think you still have a way out? I will cut off all your escape routes, lone wolf, your three subordinates, your business partners, Mu Sichen, including Jiang Shuo, and your most anticipated Yang family from Modu."
Tan Xue looked at Mu Jiuchen abruptly. A rare look of surprise appeared on her face. So, he really knew everything.
"You can go. I don't know." If she spoke, her daughter would be kicked out.
It was all Jiang Shuo's bad idea.
Seeing that Tan Xue would not speak, Mu Jiuchen did not ask further. Tan Xue had other hidden difficulties.
What could they be?
Mu Jiuchen left, and Tan Xue sat on the stool, feeling as if her entire body had fallen into an ice cellar. Was her life over like this?
She looked at the slogan in the police station, her eyes gradually dimming and losing their light. In the end, she had lost to herself.
When Mu Jiuchen returned home, Jiang Nuannuan had not yet woken up.
The old man was waiting for him on the first floor. Seeing him return, he asked, "Did you find out anything?"
Mu Jiuchen shook his head slightly.
The old man saw it and as expected, "Heh... she's always been like this, quiet, deep, thinking about everything carefully. If she hadn't been pushed to the wall by your father this time, she wouldn't have jumped over the wall so quickly."
"So, people really don't know what will happen in life?"
Mu Jiuchen sat on the sofa and said, "What about those bodyguards?"
The old man waved his hand, lowered his eyes, and said with great anger, "They've all gone. If you had arrived any later, this old man would have been gone too."
"Hehe..." Mu Jiuchen smiled, his voice pleasant. "Grandpa, you are blessed and will be fine."
"Hmph!" The old man looked heartbroken and glanced at Mu Jiuchen. "When will Xiao Kuo wake up? When will Little Koi and Little Fox return?"
Mu Jiuchen: "..."
"Grandpa, how do you know their nicknames?"
The old man smiled slyly and looked at him. "I heard a young girl say it when I went to the health center. Nuannuan's health soup is amazing! After I drank it, I felt refreshed, and I go there once a week."
Mu Jiuchen smiled and said, "Grandpa, when I marry Nuannuan, I'll make it for you every day."
"Tsk, with your EQ, when will you be able to marry her? If you want to marry the woman you like, you have to dote on her, dote on her to death. When I married your grandmother, I gave her a bouquet of flowers every day, whispered sweet nothings to her until she was infatuated, and gave her different gifts every day. A few months later, she willingly married me."
Mu Jiuchen: "..." Grandpa was even better at chasing women than him.
"Grandpa, I understand. I also dote on Nuannuan very much." Mu Jiuchen smiled and stood up. "I'll go see Nuannuan."
"Go, go. I've already asked someone to prepare dinner for Nuannuan."
The old man glanced at the large mansion. "From now on, it will be just the two of us grandfather and grandson. It's much quieter. As for Yunyun, I'll let her stay. Her mother is not a good person, but she is a kind girl. Our Mu family doesn't lack this little bit of money."
Mu Jiuchen nodded slightly, not interfering with the old man's decision.
