He Mingrun was followed by Jiang Yuxin. Jiang Yuxin looked at Jiang Nuan, who was in excruciating pain, and a smile flickered in her eyes.
Jiang Nuan was truly on the verge of death, just as Mu Xue had said.
Mu Jiuchen looked at him, his gaze cold, "Everyone out."
"Alright, alright, no, if Nuan Nuan is like this, you should take him to the hospital," He Mingrun said, looking at him with concern.
Mu Jiuchen spoke again, his voice laced with anger, "I said, everyone out."
If he could go to the hospital, would he still be here, suffering such agony?
"Alright, alright, Little Jiu, I'll be outside. If you need anything, call me immediately," He Mingrun said as he walked towards the door.
Seeing that Jiang Yuxin wasn't moving, He Mingrun pulled her along, "Let's go, let's go, what are you looking at?"
After exiting the room, Jiang Yuxin feigned surprise and asked He Mingrun, "Young Master He, what happened to Nuan Nuan?"
He Mingrun looked at her deeply, recalling how she had been smiling when he pulled her out, appearing somewhat gleeful.
"Jiang Yuxin, if I'm not mistaken, you were smiling just now, weren't you?"
Jiang Yuxin: "..." What kind of person is he? With such good eyesight?
"How could I have been smiling? I just pursed my lips slightly, and a slight smile can be captivating. You must have seen it wrong," Jiang Yuxin glared at him with feigned anger.
She had indeed been smiling. Seeing Jiang Nuan in such a dazed state of pain, she even felt an overwhelming sense of relief.
That feeling was more satisfying than killing Jiang Nuan.
She had never harbored such wicked thoughts before.
Perhaps it was because Jiang Nuan was her love rival, and Mu Jiuchen was the man she dreamed of obtaining, that she had such intentions.
He Mingrun let out a cold laugh, his gaze towards her sharp and chilling, "How could I possibly be mistaken! I know you like Little Jiu. Every time you returned before, you'd cling to him. I heard from Xiao Fan that you didn't look down on Little Jiu at first, did you? Now you can't let go?"
His tone was icy and filled with mockery.
Jiang Yuxin's fingers instinctively clenched. Hearing his words, she regretted everything.
If only she hadn't held those rigid views back then, perhaps she and Mu Jiuchen would have been together long ago.
Jiang Yuxin looked at him, a faint smile on her lips, "Xiao Fan is really a blabbermouth. When did I ever look down on Brother Chen?"
"But what exactly happened to Nuan Nuan?" She still wanted to know what had happened to Jiang Nuan.
He Mingrun looked at the door of Mu Jiuchen's office, his tone cool, "If I knew what was going on, I wouldn't be standing here?"
He Mingrun narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed this wasn't the first time.
Little Jiu's eyes were bloodshot, anxious, helpless, and distressed. It was likely that Jiang Nuan had experienced this several times before.
Seeing that she couldn't get any information, Jiang Yuxin felt quite dejected. He Mingrun had always been on the same page as Mu Jiuchen.
Ten minutes later, He Mingrun dared to knock on the door, then quietly pushed it open and peeked inside. Seeing only Mu Jiuchen sitting alone on the sofa, like a statue, he finally dared to enter. Da Feng Novel Network.
Mu Jiuchen sat alone on the sofa, while Jiang Nuan slept soundly on it.
His face was so pale it looked unreal, like a sheet of paper that would vanish with a gust of wind.
He Mingrun looked at Mu Jiuchen again. Mu Jiuchen was staring blankly at Jiang Nuan, his dark eyes unblinking, as if Jiang Nuan might disappear at any moment.
"Little Jiu, are you alright?" He Mingrun asked cautiously. In truth, ever since Jiang Nuan appeared, Little Jiu's personality had improved significantly, and he had become much gentler.
Hearing He Mingrun's voice, Mu Jiuchen seemed to snap back to reality. After a long while, he looked at He Mingrun and asked, "Why are you here?"
He Mingrun: "..."
"Little Jiu, I've been here for a while. Are you alright?" He Mingrun's tone was very gentle, almost as tender as he was with Meng Yuan.
"I'm fine! Do you need something?" Mu Jiuchen turned his gaze back to Jiang Nuan, his tone tinged with impatience.
He just wanted to watch Nuan Nuan, constantly fearing that Nuan Nuan would leave him.
Even sitting there watching him, his heart was still filled with panic.
"Brother Chen, why aren't you taking Nuan Nuan to the hospital when he's in so much pain?" Jiang Yuxin couldn't help but ask, her eyes fixed on Mu Jiuchen's every move, hoping to glean some desired information from his handsome face.
Although she might not get the result she wanted.
Mu Jiuchen gave her a cold glance and remained silent.
Jiang Yuxin's heart pounded, her fingers instinctively clenching together as she looked at his bloodshot eyes.
Mu Jiuchen said in a low voice, "You guys go. I'm fine here now."
"Oh, oh! I just came to see you. I heard there was trouble at your branch company. Do you need help?" He Mingrun had come for this matter.
"Yes, I do." Mu Jiuchen slowly looked up at him, his gaze flicking to Jiang Yuxin. He said angrily, "Go and arrest Mu Yunlei, or notify the foreign police to apprehend President Jiang. They are both heavily involved in this cargo loss."
Jiang Yuxin froze. Her joyful smile from moments ago turned into utter humiliation.
President Jiang referred to her father.
"Brother Chen, what do you mean by that? How could my father be involved in such a thing?" Jiang Yuxin didn't want him to slander her father.
"Hmph!" Mu Jiuchen scoffed, "You know perfectly well what kind of person your father is."
"I..."
Jiang Yuxin's face turned grim. Impossible, how could her father do such a thing? But upon hearing the name Mu Yunlei, she wasn't so sure anymore. Her father had been very close to Mu Yunlei in recent years.
As she considered this, fear gripped her heart. She had seen the woman being dragged out earlier at the door. It seemed that woman had been targeted by Mu Jiuchen for plotting against Jiang Nuan, leading to the cancellation of their collaboration and her impending bankruptcy.
The more Jiang Yuxin thought about it, the more her heart trembled.
He Mingrun nodded, "Little Jiu, take good care of Nuan Nuan. I'll go find Xiao Fan now."
"Thank you..." Mu Jiuchen didn't look at He Mingrun, but spoke to his beloved.
He Mingrun glanced at Jiang Yuxin and said no more, turning to leave. If President Jiang was indeed involved, his entire family would suffer the consequences.
President Jiang had limited market share in China, which had led to him being pushed abroad. He had managed to survive and do well over the years, but if he harbored an unruly heart, he was digging his own grave.
Hearing the closing of the door after He Mingrun left.
Jiang Yuxin suddenly came back to her senses. She looked at Mu Jiuchen, who was gazing at Jiang Nuan with deep affection. His eyes were filled with breathtaking tenderness, seemingly overflowing the entire office.
Standing beside him, she could still feel the gentleness emanating from him.
"Brother Chen, my father wouldn't do that." Jiang Yuxin wanted to maintain some dignity. She didn't want to fail to win Brother Chen's heart because of her father's actions.
A faint smile played on Mu Jiuchen's lips. He cast a cold glance at her, and the temperature in the office dropped several degrees.
"Will we know soon enough?" His voice was cold and mocking.
Jiang Yuxin staggered back in embarrassment.
