Mu Jiu Chen had a red lipstick mark on his forehead, shaped like a woman's mouth, with a faint smile. There was also a red beauty mark between his handsome eyebrows, his lips were red, and he had a small, upturned mustache. He looked utterly ridiculous.
Mu Jiu Chen noticed their expressions and let out a cold laugh.
He looked at them with immense arrogance, "What are you looking at? I'm handsome, are you jealous?" Moreover, he could hold a soft beauty in his arms tonight.
Nan Zhou and Jiang Xing Yu: "..." You have too high a self-opinion.
And you're narcissistic!
"Pfft..." Nan Zhou couldn't help but chuckle. He tried his best to suppress his laughter before managing to utter a complete sentence, "Mu Jiu Chen, narcissism is a disease, but as long as you like it!"
Mu Jiu Chen always felt there was something strange about their laughter, but he couldn't figure out what it meant, nor would he ask!
"Haha..." Jiang Xing Yu couldn't hold back his laughter anymore. "Mu Jiu Chen, you like lipstick too!"
Mu Jiu Chen: "..."
Seeing them trying to hold back their smiles and hearing the word "lipstick," he suddenly realized something and turned to run upstairs.
In the bathroom, he saw the masterpiece on his god-like handsome face.
He was completely stunned!
"Jiang Nuan!" His furious voice echoed out of the villa!
Jiang Nuan, who had already started driving, felt a chill down her spine. "Ah! Who's trying to take my life!"
She couldn't help but touch the back of her head.
Mu Jiu Chen gnashed his teeth in anger. After washing his face and seeing his handsome visage restored, his anger subsided a bit.
"Stinky girl, so you just wanted to sleep in my arms? I've truly spoiled you rotten. You dare to bully me to my face..."
After getting angry, Mu Jiu Chen's lips curled into a wicked smile.
"Nuan Nuan, wait for Grandpa to properly serve you tonight!"
Mu Jiu Chen took out his phone and sent a message to Chen Feng, asking him to prepare things for the evening.
Chen Feng was stunned when he saw it. "Master, you really know how to play!"
However, he dared not say anything and quickly went to prepare the items.
He even shared this matter with Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan: [It's fine, you prepare with all your heart. Master is walking further and further down the path of self-destruction!]
Chen Feng: [When gods fight, we get hurt!]
Xiao Fan: [Just hide far away, won't that be enough?]
Chen Feng: [Do you think you're a god, able to hide wherever you want?]
Xiao Fan: [I'm in a meeting, listening to someone chant sutras. Want to switch?]
Chen Feng: [Don't know you, goodbye!]
...
When Jiang Nuan arrived at the hospital, her grandfather had already woken up. Seeing Jiang Nuan, he was very happy.
"Good granddaughter, can I be discharged today?" Apart from his head, he felt comfortable everywhere else.
Staying here was too uncomfortable; home was much better!
Jiang Nuan smiled and shook her head, "Grandpa, not yet. Stay for another week, and then go home to recuperate. This way, there won't be any after-effects. Although my medicine can speed up your wound recovery, there might still be some lingering issues."
The old man was unhappy to hear this. Looking at the shredded meat congee before him, it no longer seemed appetizing. "Sigh! It's really hard to endure being in the hospital." He played the victim to his granddaughter.
"That's why I've come to keep you company?" Jiang Nuan sat beside him. "Grandpa, hurry up and eat breakfast. I won't leave until past one o'clock, so I can chat with you."
"That's more like it. I've been very bored these past few days." The old man then started eating his breakfast.
Jiang Nuan told her grandfather about the events that had transpired outside in recent days.
After listening, the old man felt that he had made a very rational decision by transferring all his shares and company to Nuan Nuan in advance. This way, those people would have wasted their efforts for nothing.
He had always had two hypotheses: first, the other party was after wealth; second, it was due to hatred!
But no matter which it was, he could only entrust everything to his family.
He narrowed his sharp eyes, "Nuan Nuan, it seems the truth is not far away."
Jiang Nuan nodded emphatically, "Grandpa, we'll know the answer within three days at the latest. The Hall Master of Ying Tang never breaks his word."
"With you all here, Grandpa is at ease. Grandpa also wants to resolve this matter so that our family can live happily ever after. This is Grandpa's lifelong greatest wish." Jiang Beichen looked at his granddaughter. The happiness he had experienced during this period felt like a dream, and he feared that when the dream ended, all of it would disappear.
"Nuan Nuan, our first half of life was unfortunate. In the second half, you must make yourself happy. Grandpa is old, but you and your brother are still young. Our Jiang family, two generations, has been manipulated like pawns. Grandpa wakes up at night, unable to sleep due to anger."
But no matter how much pain he endured, it had already happened. Now, all his wishes had been fulfilled.
Jiang Nuan looked at her grandfather, knowing how much pain he had endured over the years. He originally had a happy and fulfilling family, but because his son was lost, his wife and children were separated. The couple could only watch each other from afar.
They loved each other deeply, yet could only look at each other from a distance. There are many kinds of love in this world, but this kind of love is the most tormenting.
"Grandpa, we will all be happy from now on!" Jiang Nuan smiled brilliantly, which also infected the old man, and he smiled happily too.
After chatting with her grandfather until past one o'clock, Jiang Nuan left the hospital to go shopping at the mall.
She wanted to buy her mother a scarf.
Lu Qiao Yi had slept for a night and felt much better.
She had also come to a familiar clothing store early in the morning to buy clothes.
As soon as she entered, the familiar sales assistant greeted her with a smile, "Miss Lu, you're here."
"Mm!" Lu Qiao Yi nodded indifferently and looked at the latest seasonal collection inside.
She browsed around but didn't find any clothes she liked. Suddenly, she saw a magazine on the table featuring a pure white hollowed-out dress. It was designed by Z. Her designs were not revealing, but wearing them gave off an ethereal feeling.
"Is this dress available now?" Lu Qiao Yi asked, pointing to the dress in the magazine.
The sales assistant smiled, "Miss Lu, your mother bought this dress yesterday. I thought Madam bought it for you."
"My mother bought it?" Lu Qiao Yi was very confused. Her mother didn't like this kind of long dress, but she hadn't seen her take it home last night.
Did she give it to someone else?
"I see. I won't buy anything today. Please text me when you have new arrivals."
"Certainly, Miss Lu. Please take care!"
Lu Qiao Yi left the mall without wanting to buy anything. After visiting a few more stores, she unexpectedly saw a familiar dress. The moment she clearly saw that exquisite face, Lu Qiao Yi's pupils constricted sharply. It was Jiang Nuan.
Her mother gave the dress to Jiang Nuan!
It was her!
Why!
Why would her mother give clothes to Jiang Nuan?
Jiang Nuan, why Jiang Nuan?
Such a beautiful dress, usually only she could wear it. What qualifications did Jiang Nuan have to wear it?
Jiang Nuan didn't see Lu Qiao Yi. She bought the scarf and left.
Lu Qiao Yi reacted and quickly followed her. She wanted to see who Jiang Nuan was going to meet.
