Jiang Nuan shook her head slightly, looking at him and saying, "No."
The old man frowned slightly, finding it incredible, "Then it's very strange. Your grandmother was a very indifferent person. You and Xingyu are not Jiang Shuo's children, but she took special care of you."
Jiang Nuan also found this point very strange, but her grandmother was very good to her, giving her almost all her love.
"Nuannuan, from now on, I will also be your grandfather. If you need any help, you can come to me. I have some influence in Modu." He liked this little girl very much; her eyes were bright and she was particularly likable.
Moreover, she had some doubts in her heart, which was also the purpose of his visit to Jinshi.
Jiang Nuan smiled and said, "Okay, Grandpa. If I need it, I will come to you. But I've always had a question: why haven't you visited Grandma all these years?" She was very angry about this.
Grandma had lived alone all these years.
The old man smiled and said, "I did visit, but you were at school when I came. I usually stayed for a few hours and then left. I knew about your existence, but your grandmother never told you about mine."
Jiang Nuan fell silent. So that was it.
Grandma was never a person who talked much, only saying what had to be said.
And she didn't know Grandma had such experiences.
Losing her own child, she must have had a difficult time over the years.
Jiang Nuan decided to go and see Jiang Shuo.
It seemed that Jiang Shuo and Tan Wenbin were the only ones who knew the truth.
"I plan to go and see Jiang Shuo. He might have some information," Jiang Nuan said, unsure if he would tell her.
Grandpa Jiang shook his head and said, "It's useless to see him. The events of that year started from his father's generation. According to the information I've found, his father used to abduct children. Jiang Shuo was the same, but Jiang Shuo knew it was very dangerous, so he used another method to swap you, Jiang Xingyu, and other children. This is the most likely scenario."
He had been investigating for many years, and Tan Wenbin only surfaced now.
Jiang Nuan looked at him with great surprise, speechless, "Was it a swap?"
"Yes! After investigating for so many years, it's most likely that you were swapped."
Grandpa Jiang handed Jiang Nuan a pair of chopsticks and placed the pastries in front of her.
He smiled and said, "Nuannuan, try the mung bean cakes here. They are not too sweet or greasy, and they are especially delicious."
"Thank you!" Jiang Nuan looked at the bright yellow mung bean cakes, which made her appetite tingle. She picked up her chopsticks and ate two pieces. They were indeed very good.
"They're delicious!" she said, putting down her chopsticks. The texture was very unique.
Grandpa Jiang looked at her and smiled kindly, "Nuannuan, perhaps we have a lot of destiny. I will tell you more in a while. You can go back first today."
Jiang Nuan didn't fully understand his words, but she didn't ask further. She got up, said goodbye, and left.
Grandpa Jiang looked at the chopsticks Jiang Nuan had used, picked them up, and left with them.
...
At Mu Jiuchen's home, after not sleeping well for several days, he slept until noon before waking up.
As soon as he went downstairs, Li Qingshuo also came down from upstairs, holding a yellow envelope in his hand.
"Yo! Little Jiu, you're up," Li Qingshuo said to Mu Jiuchen with a smile.
He sat on the sofa, looking as cold and still as a sculpture. It seemed that only in front of Jiang Nuan would he be a little softer.
Mu Jiuchen glanced at him indifferently and said nothing. He slept well and was in a good mood. He was wondering what excuse he could use to visit Jiang Nuan's home to see the children and Jiang Nuan.
"Here, this is the information you wanted."
Mu Jiuchen hesitated for a moment, took it, and opened it. It contained photos of his father with that woman.
Mu Jiuchen glanced at them indifferently and threw them back onto the marble coffee table.
"She looks very young," he said lightly.
Li Qingshuo nodded, "She is indeed very young. Your father is truly in love this time!"
"Pfft!" Mu Jiuchen scoffed.
Mu Jiuchen raised an eyebrow and looked at him, his voice extremely cold, "Do you think someone like him can find true love?"
Li Qingshuo sat opposite him casually, looking at his disbelieving expression, and said with a hint of amusement.
"No matter how powerful a man is, when he meets his nemesis, he will always find true love. Haven't you heard the saying that even the most powerful men are ultimately conquered by women?"
Li Qingshuo pointed at him meaningfully, "Like you."
"Me!" Mu Jiuchen shot him a cold glance and then shifted his gaze away in a flustered manner.
Why bring him up?
Li Qingshuo gave him an example, "Master Jiu is a business magnate, Master Jiu is a bloodthirsty devil CEO, Master Jiu is too cold, and people automatically stay two meters away. You are indeed decisive in business. Many people in the business world tremble when they hear your name. Haven't you, such a person, been conquered by a woman?"
Mu Jiuchen: "..."
He changed the subject, "Have you found out the identity of this woman?"
Li Qingshuo looked at him meaningfully. To change the subject so quickly, was he really shy?
Mu Jiuchen looked really good when he was shy.
Li Qingshuo admired his earlobes, which were as red as blood, and said with a smile, "Found her. Her name is Xia Tong. She comes from a single-parent family and has a younger sister. I heard she's returning to the country soon. She met your father on an elevator."
"When your father was taking the escalator, he almost fell. It was this young lady's quick reaction with her phone that supported your father, saving him from an accident. Later, they met again in a shopping mall. This young lady is a sales assistant at Minglou Department Store. That's how they met. She has no significant background, just a very simple family."
"Does Tan Xue know?"
Li Qingshuo nodded and suddenly sat up straight thoughtfully, "She's much more informed than me. She already knows. But she's a smart woman. She doesn't make a fuss, nor does she go to find that woman. She's just living quietly like before."
Mu Jiuchen thought of Tan Xue's actions at the banquet, narrowing his dark eyes, "I'm afraid she won't live quietly. Also, do you think Tan Xue looks like someone who can live quietly after knowing something like this?"
Li Qingshuo shook his head slightly and glanced at him, "Oh my god, she wouldn't be plotting something behind our backs, would she?"
Mu Jiuchen's eyes deepened, and he looked up at him with a rather muffled tone, "What she values most is the Mu family's money. She has only one goal: to make everything in the Mu family hers, hers and her son's."
Mu Jiuchen understood this very well.
Li Qingshuo glanced at him and said, "Let's not talk about this matter for now. This is your father's and your stepmother's business. I know it's not easy for you to intervene. Now there's a very important issue: you snatched the business of the third young master of the Rong family this time."
"Everyone is waiting for you to come back and explain. What do you think we should do?"
