The door opened, and Su Wanting was seen entering.
Mu Jiuchen’s expression instantly turned cold. “What are you doing here? Get out.”
Su Wanting bit her lip, looking at the grim-faced Mu Jiuchen. Even while seated, his towering figure exuded a powerful aura of pressure.
She anxiously explained, “Ninth Master, Madam Mu, can you spare me a few minutes?”
Her tone was respectful, devoid of her usual arrogance. Her voice was still sweet and delicate, but at least Jiang Nuan found it much more pleasing to listen to.
Jiang Nuan looked at her and said, “What is it? Come in and tell me.”
“Thank you!” Su Wanting looked at Jiang Nuan’s magnanimity and was very grateful. People’s perspectives differed.
Jiang Nuan was neither arrogant nor impatient, but calm and reserved when facing problems. This was what her father called having a broad mind, being able to embrace everything.
Jiang Nuan gestured to the stool opposite her. “Please, sit and talk.”
“Thank you, Madam Mu!”
Su Wanting closed the door and sat down opposite Jiang Nuan, looking at the happy family of three.
Who would have thought that she, who had been pampered, would fall to such a state?
Wealth had made her feel superior. The decline of the Su family had shown her the fickleness of human relationships. The socialite friends she had once kept company with were unwilling to see her after learning of her family’s situation.
She had finally tasted the bitterness of human indifference. In the span of just one month, everything had changed.
Recalling the books she had read before, she realized she had read them in vain, as she had never truly appreciated many of the lessons within.
Su Wanting composed herself and said to Jiang Nuan, “Madam Mu, Ninth Master, I hope to cooperate with you to catch the mastermind. Can Ninth Master invest in the previous projects? The prior projects have been put on hold.”
As long as Mu Jiuchen was willing to invest and restart the projects, her family could quickly recover.
Mu Jiuchen narrowed his eyes. “Why should I trust you? What you did to my wife before is still vivid in my memory, each act heinous.”
His cold, clear voice startled Su Wanting.
She hurriedly said, “Ninth Master, I have reformed. In the past, I was jealous and couldn’t distinguish between good and bad. I only believed that whatever I liked should be fought for, forgetting that some things cannot be obtained through effort alone. Take love, for instance. No matter how much I liked you, you wouldn’t even spare me a glance. How could such a relationship be happy?
I didn’t understand before, but now I do. Ninth Master, please give me a chance. As long as I complete this task, I will go abroad with my father and never disturb your lives again.”
This was her last hope.
Mu Jiuchen was her last hope.
Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes, looking at her. How did she know they were here?
Recalling her previous encounter with Jiang Yuxin, she asked, “Did you come to see Jiang Yuxin?”
Su Wanting’s face paled further. She looked deeply at Jiang Nuan. “Yes. After my family went bankrupt, I came to find Ninth Master, but I didn’t see him. Later, as I was leaving downstairs, I was crying sadly in an alley. It was Jiang Yuxin who told me she could help, so I followed her.”
“She took me to see a man in black. The room was very dark, and the man used a voice changer. He said he could help our family regain its glory, but there was a condition: I had to work with Jiang Yuxin to deal with you two. I agreed at the time because I was angry. But later, when I thought about it, I felt something was wrong. I told my father about it, and he slapped me, saying how could I not be sensible!”
“Later, my father analyzed the current situation for me, and I realized I had been trapped, just like Yang Jingmin. I came here today to question Jiang Yuxin.”
“I had arranged to meet Jiang Yuxin at the mall. When I came upstairs, I happened to see you following her, so I called her and told her you were behind her. After I hung up, the more I thought about it, the more it felt wrong. I remembered you don’t often go out, and I guessed you might be dining on the sixth floor. That’s why I went to the sixth floor to wait for you. I wanted to talk to you after you finished dinner, and sure enough, I didn’t have to wait long before I saw you coming up.”
She had been in the private room next door just now, listening to the happy laughter of the family of three. She realized how naive her previous thoughts had been. DaFeng Novel Network
Mu Jiuchen, such a proud son of heaven, would never love her.
Mu Jiuchen had everything; what he always wanted was a soulmate, nothing else mattered.
When your mind becomes clear, you instantly feel reborn.
Mu Jiuchen glanced at Jiang Nuan, and Jiang Nuan nodded slightly.
“President Su is a very good businessman, and this daughter is also spoiled and proud. Daughters from wealthy families often have a touch of arrogance.”
Jiang Nuan felt she wasn’t a particularly kind person, but she needed an informant.
To break through the current predicament.
“My wife agrees. As long as you help us catch the mastermind, I will invest in the Su family and also protect your father’s current projects. I, Mu Jiuchen, am always selective in business. I agreed to cooperate with you back then because I saw your father’s character.”
Upon hearing Mu Jiuchen’s personal promise, Su Wanting’s eyes filled with tears of gratitude. “Thank you, Ninth Master, thank you, Madam Mu. I am truly sorry for everything I did before!”
Su Wanting was genuinely grateful.
Afterward, Jiang Nuan exchanged contact information with her. As Su Wanting was about to leave, she reminded Jiang Nuan, “Ninth Master, Madam Mu, please be wary of the wellness center and your assistants. They make full use of everything and anything. As long as it can harm you, they will use anyone or anything.”
“I overheard Jiang Yuxin mention this during a phone call last time.”
Jiang Nuan nodded slightly and said unhurriedly, “Thank you, Su Wanting. Pulling back from the brink in time not only saved your Su family but also your entire life. As long as you cooperate well, everyone will soon have a good life. Please also take care of yourself. Whatever you do, just send the message to the software I gave you. They won’t be able to track it.”
Since it was a collaboration, she had to ensure their safety.
“Okay, I’ll be careful. I’ll be going now then.” Su Wanting smiled knowingly, feeling incredibly light at this moment, unprecedentedly at ease.
She knew that Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen were different from those people.
Those people only used her, and after they were done, she had nothing left.
But Mu Jiuchen could revive the Su family.
When she entered, she had told her father about this matter, and her father had said she had done the right thing!
After Su Wanting left, Mu Jiuchen said, “Nuannuan, don’t worry. Su Wanting wants the Su Corporation to revive, and she probably won’t play any tricks.”
“Mm.” Jiang Nuan looked at their daughter, who was listening intently. She didn’t shield her daughter; she needed to experience everything to grow.
“Let’s go, we’re going home.” Jiang Nuan took her daughter’s little hand.
“Okay!”
Mu Jiuchen carried the cake that Yunyun hadn’t finished, and the family of three left the private room.
Jiang Nuan postponed the opening of the wellness center. For the next three days, Jiang Nuan secretly visited the wellness center once without anyone knowing.
Three days later, the wellness center opened. The first day went smoothly.
On the second day, something went wrong!
