Jiang Nuan frowned slightly as she looked at her ugly face.
Grandpa Jiang put on a stern face and said, "Mu Yan, mind your way of speaking. Nuan Nuan is my biological granddaughter. Are you questioning my biological granddaughter?" His tone was light, tinged with an awe-inspiring chill.
Jiang Mu Yan instantly realized that she was too agitated and too jealous, which caused her reaction.
"Great-grandfather, I didn't question that. For me, it's just too sudden. Haven't you always been alone all these years? And you never mentioned finding your family before," Jiang Mu Yan's face was very pale. She had lost her identity as the heir.
The old man looked at her and smiled, "You never cared, never paid attention, and never asked. I was too busy and forgot about it."
Jiang Mu Yan's face turned even uglier. They wished their eldest uncle's family would die outside. How could they care about finding them?
After so many years, even her father thought his cousin had died outside long ago.
But what did she hear today? The heir they thought was dead had suddenly been found, and she had such a beautiful daughter.
This made her feel as if she had been struck by lightning.
"Then, how is eldest uncle?" Jiang Mu Yan asked tentatively.
"He's good! Abroad. Nuan Nuan also returned from abroad not long ago. Look, I'm getting older. Coincidentally, Nuan Nuan's major is the same as my company's. I'll hand it over to her soon, and I can retire earlier."
Jiang Mu Yan's complexion changed from pale to cold. She had always been the heir to Jianda Group, and she had been showing off everywhere with this identity.
Now, there was another heir. How could she continue to mingle in high society circles?
Her girlfriends all made friends based on family background.
Jiang Mu Yan instantly felt like she had fallen into hell.
"Mu Yan, although Nuan Nuan is your eldest uncle's child, she is two years younger than you. You sisters should get along peacefully from now on." Grandpa Jiang looked at her unpleasant expression. He could see her thoughts at a glance.
She had lost her heir status and was hit hard.
For years, she had wanted to stay by his side as the heir, but her heart was not truly kind.
"Okay, Grandpa." Of course, she would take good care of her good sister.
After Jiang Nuan said goodbye, she left.
Jiang Mu Yan returned to her room in a daze.
Jiang Nuan, the name, flashed a light in her mind.
Jiang Mu Yan quickly took out her phone and typed Jiang Nuan into the search engine.
Jiang family's abandoned daughter, used by the Jiang family, almost died.
So, she was that Jiang Nuan.
This old man was too cunning to have his granddaughter brought by his wife.
No wonder Grandpa had hinted to him, explicitly and implicitly, over the years to finalize the group's heir.
Even if it wasn't given to him, their family would have a very good life.
He always joked, "There's no rush for this matter. You'll know when the time comes."
So, there was a Jiang Nuan waiting for her.
Ahhh!
Jiang Mu Yan felt like she was going crazy.
No, she had to quickly tell Grandpa and Dad this news.
"Hello! Grandpa, Great-grandfather has found eldest uncle. He also told me that the group's heir is his granddaughter Jiang Nuan. Hurry up and find a way to kill that Jiang Nuan."
"Okay, okay, Yan Yan, don't worry first. Tell me everything, and I'll judge what's going on."
"We can't let someone who hasn't returned for decades take away the property we've been hoping for so many years."
"Isn't that right, Grandpa? I've been by that old man's side all these years. What have they done? Why should they snatch the heir status with me?" Jiang Mu Yan's voice was close to breaking.
"Yan Yan, Grandpa knows, but Grandpa can't do anything. Your Great-grandfather has only been close to you all these years. He looks at us relatives with a very bad expression."
"Grandpa also knows he's incompetent. He managed to start a company, but it was your Great-grandfather who helped him."
"So, Yan Yan, you must strive for success and become the heir of the group."
"Grandpa, I think so too, but now Jiang Nuan has suddenly appeared. Only if she dies can I smoothly inherit Jianda Group."
"Alright, don't rush this matter. Grandpa will call you later."
After Jiang Mu Yan hung up the phone, she looked troubled, her mood completely gone.
Jiang Nuan, how could it be her?
When Jiang Nuan arrived at her doorstep, she saw Mu Jiu Chen standing at the door. Seeing Jiang Nuan return, he let out a sigh of relief and immediately asked, "Why didn't you answer the phone?"
Jiang Nuan then remembered that she had received his call in Grandpa's study and hung up without answering.
Seeing his anxious expression, the corners of her lips curved upwards, "I was busy just now. I was planning to call you back."
Mu Jiu Chen gestured for her to open the door. No one else was at home.
After they entered, Jiang Nuan made Mu Jiu Chen a cup of tea.
"Did you need something from me?"
Mu Jiu Chen leaned slightly on the sofa and looked at her, saying, "You weren't overthinking anything last night, were you?"
Jiang Nuan found this amusing, "I'd be foolish to overthink. I sent it to you yesterday to tell you to manage your aunt yourself. I don't want to hear any unpleasant words from her."
Mu Jiu Chen's expression was grim. Although he didn't have a wicked mother-in-law by his side, having a malicious aunt causing trouble for his marriage was also a troublesome matter.
"What my aunt says does not represent my stance. In the future, if you meet her, no matter what she says, don't pay attention to it. You only need to pay attention to what I say."
Jiang Nuan propped her chin with one hand and asked with a smile, "What did you say? That I need to pay attention to?"
Mu Jiu Chen imitated her, propping his chin with one hand and looking at the smiling girl opposite him, with a hint of playfulness and flirtatiousness, a look he rarely saw.
It was the look he was damn fond of.
"Then, let me repeat myself. I am pursuing you, Jiang Nuan. Please be aware of it."
After Mu Jiu Chen finished speaking, he glanced at the time. The lunch he had ordered should have arrived.
"Ding dong..." The doorbell rang at the right moment. Mu Jiu Chen stood up with a smile and said, "Nuan Nuan, let's have lunch together."
Jiang Nuan did not refuse. After they finished lunch, Mu Jiu Chen said, "I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. I'm going abroad."
Jiang Nuan also said with a smile, "I'm going to Modu tomorrow."
Thinking of the gift he gave her last time he went abroad, she wanted to wear it tomorrow.
Mu Jiu Chen thought of the rumors he had heard, and a hint of anger appeared between his eyebrows, "Did you really sign with Rong Yin?"
