Jin Yan glanced at her husband and daughter. With something happening at home, she decided it was best not to go.
"Yan Yan, don't you dare say you won't come. I know you and your husband are inseparable. Let me tell you, Yi Yi called me last time saying she likes Mu Jiu Chen, and Mu Jiu Chen will be here tonight too."
Jin Yan glanced at Mu Jiu Chen sitting beside her daughter and agreed, "Okay! I'll be there on time."
Jin Yan hung up the phone and looked at Mu Jiu Chen, "Mr. Mu, I heard you're attending the Yu family's banquet tonight."
In this world, Mu Jiu Chen was the most dazzling man, driving all women mad for him.
She wouldn't find it strange that Lu Qiao Yi liked Mu Jiu Chen, but Mu Jiu Chen was now her daughter's boyfriend. Lu Qiao Yi wouldn't miss tonight's banquet, and she feared she might cause trouble if given the chance.
Mu Jiu Chen nodded slightly, "I have some business dealings with Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu invited me, and I'll be bringing Nuan Nuan tonight."
Mu Jiu Chen sat up straighter and added, "Auntie, please don't be so formal, just call me Xiao Jiu."
It was rare to see such an accommodating Mu Jiu Chen.
Next, Mu Jiu Chen dropped another bombshell: "Nuan Nuan and I are getting married at the end of the year."
Lu Cheng Si quickly roared, "Did I agree to that?"
Mu Jiu Chen: "..."
"Dad, calm down." Lu Jin Cheng looked at his father, somewhat helplessly.
Nuan Nuan and Mu Jiu Chen were deeply in love. What business was it of his to interfere?
"Can I calm down?" Lu Cheng Si glared at the troublemaker before him. He could only say such things if he had no feelings for his sister.
Lu Jin Cheng knew his mother was prone to getting stuck on things. If his mother spoke more than a few words to another man, he felt as if he were having a seizure.
Mu Jiu Chen silently looked at Lu Cheng Si and asked with a hint of reluctance, "Uncle, may I ask what I'm not doing well enough? Tell me, and I'll definitely change."
"Hmph! Rong Yin says you, Ninth Master, are very wicked!"
Mu Jiu Chen's eyes flashed. So it was Rong Yin who had been poisoning him.
Rong Yin, you're dead!
Lu Cheng Si also had his own considerations; he still didn't trust Mu Jiu Chen.
That Rong Yin wasn't entirely unreliable.
"Uncle, Rong Yin and I are rivals in love, so of course, he'll only speak ill of me and not my good points or my merits. As long as Nuan Nuan knows, that's enough."
Lu Cheng Si found this argument quite reasonable.
"Mu Jiu Chen, if you dare to bully my daughter, I'll fight you to the death!" Lu Cheng Si glared fiercely at Mu Jiu Chen.
For a father, it was too cruel to have just found his daughter only for her to get married.
Lu Cheng Si looked at Mu Jiu Chen and saw him hook his lips with satisfaction, "Dad, I will take good care of Nuan Nuan."
Damn it!
Lu Cheng Si was startled. Mu Jiu Chen called him Dad?!
Was he hallucinating?
"Yan Yan, what did he just call me?"
Jin Yan looked bewildered, "No one said anything just now?"
Lu Cheng Si: "..."
Jiang Nuan looked at her father and said, "Dad, please take your medicine first. You're already hallucinating."
"Ah..." Lu Cheng Si looked deeply at Mu Jiu Chen. He had clearly moved his lips just now.
So it was a hallucination!
No, what was he expecting?
After Lu Cheng Si took his medicine, he became drowsy. Jiang Nuan gave him some instructions and then let Mu Jiu Chen take them home.
In the courtyard, Lu Jin Cheng deliberately slowed his pace and looked at Jiang Nuan, "Nuan Nuan."
Jiang Nuan stopped and looked at the sunny, handsome young man before her. His chestnut-brown hair had grown quite long, obscuring his handsome eyebrows. Due to his profession as a doctor, he spent most of his time in the office, and his skin was fairer than that of most men.
He smiled warmly and spoke with elegant posture, "Nuan Nuan, from now on, you have your brother. No one will bully you again."
Jiang Nuan looked at her resplendent second brother and her heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling warm.
"Second Brother, thank you!"
Looking at the face before her, which resembled her mother's so much, and knowing she was his biological sister, even after twenty years apart, there was no barrier between them.
"Nuan Nuan, this is a gift from your brother."
Jiang Nuan looked down. It was a black gold card, and her heart skipped another beat.
So much money!
The money inside was substantial.
Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes with a smile, her thoughts unreadable.
"Second Brother, you're too kind, I..."
"Silly girl, you've suffered all these years. I have my share of the family's dividends. This is your allowance. Your brother doesn't know what you like, so I'm giving you money. Buy whatever you like?" Lu Jin Cheng said, pressing the money into Jiang Nuan's hand.
What Lu Jin Cheng didn't notice was Jiang Nuan's trembling hand.
Jiang Nuan's hand felt heavy, almost revealing her greedy nature.
However, after years of taking on missions, her emotional control was excellent.
"Nuan Nuan, don't worry about Dad. I'll take care of him. Be careful at tonight's banquet." Lu Jin Cheng said, then couldn't resist ruffling his sister's hair.
The texture was amazing!
What kind of divine shampoo was this!
Looking at his sister's soft, beautiful hair, he felt he could get rich selling shampoo!
"Nuan Nuan, your hair is so soft. Are you using a shampoo you made yourself? Brother wants some too."
Jiang Nuan nodded repeatedly, "Second Brother, when I get back, I'll make some for you and mail it over."
For the sake of the money, Jiang Nuan, you must be diligent!
Jiang Nuan urged herself internally!
"Okay!" Lu Jin Cheng smiled, his eyes narrowing. He had been waiting for his sister to say this.
After seeing the Lu family off, Jiang Nuan was just about to turn inside when she saw the entire family of her Second Uncle standing outside the door.
Jiang Nuan's expression darkened.
Second Uncle Lu looked at Jiang Nuan, his old face turning red with anger, "Jiang Nuan, are you really not leaving us any way to live?" She had actually taken back all the shares.
How were they supposed to live, their entire family?
Jiang Nuan narrowed her beautiful eyes, looking at all of them. There were more than a dozen people, big and small.
"Grandpa, how can you speak like that? Did I cut off your way of living? Didn't you cut off your own way of living? Don't tell me you don't know about Jiang Mu Yan's matter. With her intellect, she wouldn't dare do that without your instigation."
Second Uncle Lu's face turned pale. It was true, he had a hand in it. But he never dreamed Jiang Nuan would be so quick. She quickly identified Yan Yan as the murderer. Even if she wasn't the murderer, they had only sold out their elder brother's daily routine.
It was their elder brother who would have an accident!
"Jiang Nuan, it wasn't Yan Yan, Yan Yan didn't do it."
"Hmph! The video is evidence. The night after Grandpa had his accident, Jiang Mu Yan came here and saw Grandpa. I don't know what she said to you that made you so angry. The next day Grandpa had an accident. You tell me it's not related? Who would believe that!"
Second Uncle Lu stated firmly, "I believe it!"
Yan Yan visited her elder brother. Why hadn't he mentioned this?
"No, Nuan Nuan, Yan Yan didn't come to see you Grandpa. She went back to sleep..." The old man looked at Jiang Nuan, his gaze shifting. He instantly shut his mouth. This Jiang Nuan was too cunning, trying to trick him into revealing information.
