The anger in Mu Jiuchen's heart was instantly soothed by the sound of "gege."
"Call me husband!" Mu Jiuchen coaxed the little woman before him with a smile, reaching out to pinch her cheek.
Husband, husband!
Jiang Nuan called him husband several times in her heart, the words flowing smoothly in her mind, but she couldn't utter them aloud.
She was still accustomed to calling him Mu Jiuchen.
"Let's go, the chairman and his wife are waiting outside," Jiang Nuan said and walked out.
Mu Jiuchen's gaze darkened. What was wrong with calling him husband?
He wanted to hear her call him husband!
After getting into the car, Jiang Nuan greeted Mr. and Mrs. Li Zhenting and took the front passenger seat.
The Li Zhenting family of three sat in the back seat.
After Mu Jiuchen got into the car and started driving.
Li Yanheng asked, "Sister-in-law, do we still have a chance to cooperate?"
Now that they were family, his cooperation should be better than Rong Yin's.
Jiang Nuan thought about their past conflicts and said, "Let me think about it."
"Ah!" Think about it.
She was a pharmaceutical big shot!
But thinking about it meant there was still a chance.
He would stick to her like Rong Yin, and there would be cooperation opportunities.
He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll wait for you."
"En!" Jiang Nuan gave a slight hum and then fell silent.
Thinking about what had happened before, he said, "Sister-in-law, I apologize for what happened before. I shouldn't have kidnapped your elder brother."
He had always been unrestrained and had a crazy personality, but he had calmed down a bit recently.
Li Zhenting and He Junshu quickly looked at their son.
Li Zhenting smacked him on the head.
"You brat, would you dare to do something illegal? Who did you kidnap?"
Li Yanheng forgot that his parents were sitting beside him and immediately felt like he had dug his own grave.
"Dad, Mom, don't you know? Sister-in-law is Vicky in the medical field. I'm always third in exams, Vicky is first, and Rong Yin is second," Li Yanheng said weakly, changing the subject, his eyes lowered, not daring to look at anyone.
Li Zhenting and He Junshu looked at Jiang Nuan in surprise.
They had heard their son mention the name Vicky many times.
Their son had always been jealous of her excellence.
But they didn't expect her to be their daughter-in-law.
"Nuannuan, you are truly outstanding!" He Junshu smiled at her.
Jiang Nuan glanced back at her and smiled brightly, "Madam, I have loved medicine since I was young and have researched both Chinese and Western medicine."
"Yes, only when you are interested can you learn better!" Back then, she was also good at painting, but after going abroad and living with guilt, she never painted again.
She devoted herself to her husband and children, taking care of their daily lives.
"I've seen Madam's paintings; they're excellent!" Mu Jiuchen was handsome and happy when he was young!
He Junshu smiled gently, "Nuannuan, I haven't picked up a paintbrush in twenty years."
The car fell silent instantly.
But Jiang Nuan knew that with Mu Jiuchen's forgiveness, she would definitely have the confidence to paint again. Some talents were etched in her bones and could never be forgotten.
Li Zhenting looked at his wife with doting affection, "Junshu, you can practice when you have time from now on."
"We'll see," He Junshu said, looking at her son driving in front of her. "I want to spend more time with Mom and Xiao Jiu during this period." The family affection they had missed for so many years could not be recovered, but they could make up for as much as possible.
Mu Jiuchen's hand gripping the steering wheel tightened slightly. He also hoped his mother would stay longer.
After they returned to the country, they could only see each other once every six months or a few months.
He had long passed the age where he needed parental care, but having his parents around still made him very happy.
Every year, when he saw Li Qingshuo and He Mingrun choosing birthday gifts for his mother, he felt the saddest.
He had no mother, nor the joy of choosing a gift for his mother.
Now that his mother was back, he actually wanted to choose a birthday gift for his mother once.
Although he had this wish, he still remained silent.
Upon arriving at the Mu family's residence, Mu Jiuchen directly took them to the old man's courtyard.
Mu Jiuchen's expression turned grim when he saw Mu Xue there.
Mu Xue smiled coldly when she saw Mu Jiuchen's sudden change in expression, "Mu Jiuchen, how dare you come here? You've been so good to my father all these years, and it turns out you've raised an ungrateful wretch."
Mu Jiuchen listened to these words without much expression on his face.
The old man also chuckled and looked at his daughter with a stern face, "Mu Xue, you are the ungrateful daughter. Xiao Jiu has genuinely stayed by my side. You come to accompany me, what else do you have besides money? If I were penniless, you wouldn't even glance at me."
"Dad..." Mu Xue looked at her senile father angrily. She wanted to get this villa back from Jiang Nuan.
It was not the eldest son's child, and giving away hundreds of millions in assets to outsiders made her liver ache.
"Get out." The old man never gave this daughter any face. He had seen through people's hearts and could test them with money.
Mu Xue would not leave at this time. She looked at He Junshu in the crowd.
She smiled mockingly, "He Junshu, you are truly capable. You even faked your death, causing my elder brother and father to live with guilt all these years, while the He family has been suppressing the Mu family and holding a grudge against the Mu family. You hid abroad and lived peacefully for decades, haven't you ever thought of the old man who treated you like his own daughter back then?"
Mu Xue's words struck a sore spot for He Junshu.
The old man was a good person; she had always known that.
"Old man, I've wronged you!" He Junshu apologized sincerely.
The old man looked deeply at He Junshu before him. She hadn't changed much, only a few wrinkles around her eyes, and she was still as beautiful, gentle, and kind as she was when she was young, her eyes filled with goodwill.
"Junshu, seeing you live so happily, I am also at ease. Don't pay attention to what others say, and don't take their words to heart. Some people are just jealous and greedy."
The old man's words were pointed, and Mu Xue knew he was indirectly referring to her.
"Heh heh..." Mu Xue sneered, "Dad, have you been brainwashed by them? How can you speak up for outsiders and attack your own daughter?"
"Since everyone is here today, let's make things clear. Mu Jiuchen, return this house's property deed to our Mu family. You are not a member of the Mu family and are not qualified to inherit anything here," Mu Xue said disdainfully to Mu Jiuchen.
"Mu Xue." The old man was furious, his weathered eyes glaring at her, "Get out, and never step foot in this house again."
This was where he had raised Xiao Jiu. Although Xiao Jiu was not his biological grandson, some connections were indeed magical. He had never felt that Xiao Jiu was an outsider.
He was his grandson.
"Hmph! Dad, you're old now and your words and actions are muddled. If they don't return the property deed today, I won't give up."
Mu Xue was determined to seize the house.
"Grandpa, the property deed is with me. I'll return the property deed to Grandpa. I don't want to see you so troubled," Jiang Nuan said, unable to watch any longer.
"Dad, look, Jiang Nuan still has self-awareness. Before taking other people's things, one must first consider whether they are qualified to take other people's things, aren't they?" Mu Xue was happy to see Jiang Nuan being sensible and willing to hand over the property deed voluntarily.
Since her elder brother didn't fight for it, it would be hers.
"No need, Nuannuan, what Grandpa gives you is yours," the old man said with a firm tone.
Mu Xue was stunned!
She looked at Jiang Nuan disdainfully. She hated it the most when people snatched her money.
Before Mu Xue could speak, the old man said to the butler, "Butler, get the security guards to come and throw her out. Annoying!"
