The first light of dawn

Chapter 658 It's Up To You Tonight

Mu Jiu Chen's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and his tone was stern, "What is it?"

Chen Feng said, "This afternoon, we have a project cooperation with Nakata Company that requires signing a contract, and it was Master Jiu who personally attended. But I knew Master was at home today, so I felt very puzzled. Upon investigation, that person looked exactly like Master, with the same demeanor."

"I've already sent the photos, Master, please take a look."

Mu Jiu Chen hung up the phone and saw Lin Feng's video sent over. He clicked on the video and saw a man who looked exactly like him meeting with the person in charge of Nakata Company.

Jiang Nuan looked at the man and frowned slightly, "This person is the man who appeared at the old residence last time. Judging by his every move, he really looks a lot like you."

Mu Jiu Chen's gaze deepened, and killing intent surged, as if it had solidified in the room.

"Didn't you ask Mu Xue who this person was?" This person appeared at the old residence that day; Mu Xue must know who he was.

Mu Jiu Chen had not asked Mu Xue, but he knew who this person was.

His voice was slightly cold, and he smiled, "Wife, I know who he is."

"Who is it?" Jiang Nuan looked at him with a confused gaze. "If you know who it is, why didn't you stop him?"

Mu Jiu Chen's gentle brows and eyes instantly turned sharp, "He is my eldest uncle's son, Mu Yi Chen."

"Then what is he doing this for? He knew you would see through him, yet he impersonated you?" Jiang Nuan didn't understand the man's motives.

Mu Jiu Chen had also considered this question but couldn't figure it out.

"His family belongs to a collateral branch. My eldest uncle is older than my father, but Mu Yi Chen is younger than me. He also attended the Ming Run contract last time."

"His father died two years ago, and now he is supporting the entire family alone."

"Died?" Jiang Nuan pursed her lips slightly.

"Yes, he died. He was a high-ranking official in Jinshi City, assassinated due to some matters," Mu Jiu Chen explained.

"What was his name?" Jiang Nuan asked with some curiosity.

Mu Jiu Chen replied, "Mu Yun Feng."

"Then are you just going to watch him deceive people under your name? That's all my money," Jiang Nuan was pained by the thought of losing money.

"You haven't been poor, so you don't know the importance of money. As a single mother raising three children, I was practically suffering unbearably."

"Do you know how much money three children cost per month? Even when the three siblings were not sick, it was between ten thousand and twenty thousand yuan each month. At that time, I hadn't graduated yet and didn't have a medical license. I could only rely on the income provided by Number One and the money I earned as a bounty hunter to raise my children."

"When the children were four and a half years old, I obtained all the certificates, and my situation improved significantly. Only then did I dare to bring the children back to the country."

Mu Jiu Chen knew her hardships; he had never dared to ask her about them.

"I'm sorry, wife. I will never let you suffer again," Mu Jiu Chen held her tightly. "That's all in the past. From now on, with me here, you only need to do what you love. You don't have to worry about making money."

Mu Jiu Chen suddenly released her and looked at her smiling eyes. "Wife, didn't I give you a black card before? I haven't seen you use it?"

"I don't lack anything. Isn't it the same if you prepare it for me?"

"That's different. Buy whatever you like. I earn money to spend on you," Mu Jiu Chen knew she had no material desires or ambitions.

"Okay!" Jiang Nuan smiled. "I'll go shopping tomorrow." Having money and security, plus the occasional generous red envelopes from her brothers, made her very happy.

"There's a party tomorrow. Accompany me," there were many social events at the end of the year, and he hadn't attended the unnecessary ones.

Tomorrow's was a must.

"Okay, I'll accompany you tomorrow. I should go out too." If she appeared, Yan Xi would come out.

"We must find Yan Xi. The medicine in the hospital was administered by Yan Xi. She has always liked these drugs that harm and control people. Leak the news of our attendance at the banquet, and she will definitely show up tomorrow night."

Jiang Nuan understood Yan Xi's personality well.

Mu Jiu Chen nodded, "Alright!"

After resting for another day, Jiang Nuan felt completely recharged.

The expected pain did not come. This time, it took eight or nine days, which surprised Jiang Nuan.

At four in the afternoon, Jiang Nuan finished her makeup and set off with Mu Jiu Chen. Jiang Nuan chose a fiery red gown, as beautiful as a peach blossom, incomparably stunning.

Mu Jiu Chen's gaze fell upon her fiery red figure, finding her extremely captivating.

After getting into the car, Mu Jiu Chen held her hand and said, "On the fifteenth of next month, go to Mo Du to see Shao Qing."

Jiang Nuan leaned back languidly, "Mm! It's good that you remember! We can also visit Grandpa and Mom and Dad then."

"Okay!" Mu Jiu Chen's smile was filled with excitement. "Dad really likes me, and Mom really likes me too." It was just her three brothers; the way they looked at him was a bit bothersome.

They didn't seem to like him very much.

"They say mothers-in-law dote on their sons-in-law the most. I hope you receive my mother's affection too." That was his mother's approval.

It was because he had done well that he received his mother-in-law's favor.

"That's a given!" Mu Jiu Chen smiled happily.

Tonight's banquet was hosted by Gu Li, a well-known entrepreneur in Jinshi City.

Tonight was his business exchange meeting, and Mu Jiu Chen was a business magnate in this circle. A month ago, Mu Jiu Chen had received the invitation.

Everyone with status and influence in Jinshi City had come.

In the bustling and lively banquet hall, the scene was one of luxury, with dazzling lights, clinking glasses, and soothing, melodious music. Fragrant flowers and graceful figures were eye-catching, and the elite and noble gathered.

Mu Jiu Chen entered with Jiang Nuan, instantly becoming the center of attention.

The fervent discussions instantly subsided, and all eyes were on the couple, their elegance and beauty inspiring envy.

Gu Li, accompanied by his assistant, walked towards Mu Jiu Chen. In his sixties, he exuded a steady temperament, and his eyes, having witnessed countless changes, were calm and composed.

As a rising star, Mu Jiu Chen held Gu Li in genuine respect.

"Chairman Gu, hello!" Mu Jiu Chen smiled and shook Gu Li's hand.

"Xiao Jiu, thank you for coming," Gu Li was very happy to see Mu Jiu Chen.

Mu Jiu Chen looked at Jiang Nuan beside him and gently introduced her with a smile, "Chairman, this is my wife, Jiang Nuan!"

"Haha..." Gu Li laughed heartily, his eyes deep as he looked at Mu Jiu Chen. "Xiao Jiu, congratulations on finally having a beloved partner to walk hand in hand with."

He then turned to Jiang Nuan, "Madam Mu is truly heavenly in her beauty. You two are truly a perfect match, a golden couple." Gu Li's gaze deepened as he looked at Jiang Nuan's alluring figure.

"Thank you for your praise, Chairman Gu! Thank you also for the invitation; I am honored!" Jiang Nuan smiled with dignified grace.

"Haha... Madam Mu, let's dispense with the pleasantries. We are all like family. Let's go over there; I have a few important people I want to introduce to you," Gu Li said with a smile and led the way.

Not far away, Jiang Yu Xin stood with a woman dressed in elaborate attire, holding a glass of red wine.

Jiang Yu Xin said to the woman beside her, "It's all up to you tonight."
