Mu Jiuchen: [If you can send messages, you're still alive. Let's talk business!]
He Mingxin: [Brother, a new game prodigy has emerged today, and their tips are almost surpassing mine, the number one. For years, I've been at the top of the leaderboard, and now I'm about to be surpassed by someone who calls themselves a child. Where would I even show my face?]
Mu Jiuchen suddenly thought of Xiao Jinli, a smile tugging at his lips. He had already abandoned He Mingxin.
Mu Jiuchen: [Go find your brother.]
He Mingxin: [...Brother, please give me a tip.]
Mu Jiuchen: [Go find your brother.]
Seeing the same two sentences repeated, He Mingxin thought he was hallucinating. He took a closer look, and indeed, Mu Jiuchen had replied with the exact same two sentences.
Actually, he had sent the message with the expectation that Mu Jiuchen wouldn't reply. But Mu Jiuchen actually did reply, and this was the first time Mu Jiuchen had spoken so much to him.
He Mingxin was speechless, so excited that he forgot about the tip.
He must be the luckiest child this year.
Mu Jiuchen went to the server's comment section again. Tonight's comments were all from these three children.
[Maomao, ahh, what a beautiful voice.]
[Ahh, Maomao, Mommy loves you!]
[Well played, the best strategy is to attack the mind. This... this level of play is superb.]
Many were astonished!
Mu Jiuchen also noticed the young girl playing chess, named [Life is Like Chess].
Life is like chess, make your moves without regret!
Mu Jiuchen smiled. How interesting.
He started the car, and forty minutes later, he returned to Yishui Villa.
Xiao Fan was already waiting outside the villa.
As soon as Jiang Nuan left, he had secretly instructed Xiao Fan to follow her. Now, seeing Xiao Fan looking dejected, he knew he had lost her.
Xiao Fan lowered his head and whispered as Mu Jiuchen passed him, "Master, I lost her."
Mu Jiuchen's expression was impassive, his voice deep, "Go wash up and sleep. I'm in a good mood tonight, so I won't hold you responsible."
Mu Jiuchen tossed him the car keys, his movements fluid. He went upstairs to bathe.
Xiao Fan looked at the imposing figure. The vast villa was opulent, yet it couldn't conceal his dominance.
He patted his chest in relief, "It's good to still be alive. Tomorrow is full of promise!"
The next day at noon!
Jiang Nuan was catching up on sleep when her phone vibrated incessantly, forcing her to get up to answer it.
Seeing Jiang Shuo's phone number, her eyes flickered.
"Hello!"
"Nuannuan, why does your voice sound like that? Did you just wake up?" Jiang Shuo sounded very concerned about Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan sneered, "Get straight to the point. You haven't cared about me for over twenty years, and now you're feigning concern. Don't you find it disgusting?"
Jiang Shuo smiled, "Nuannuan, you're still too young to understand the dangers of this world. Dad is calling to tell you that your mother has been punished, and I've given you justice. Don't you want to come home?"
Jiang Nuan didn't know what Jiang Shuo was up to.
But Jiang Shuo's persistent entanglement must mean he had some vested interest he could gain from her.
"I'm sorry, but when I was at your house, I never knew when I'd eat. Do I have to live like that again when I go back? I live a free and easy life there, without worrying about food, drink, or being subjected to your glares. Why would I go back to be humiliated?"
The more Jiang Nuan spoke, the more her heart ached. Yes, six years ago, she had been hurt thoroughly in one go.
Jiang Shuo was silent for a moment and then said, "Nuannuan, don't you want to know your origins?"
