"Mommy, I miss you so much!" Jiang Siyun chirped, planting a kiss on her cheek.
"Mommy, I bought a lot of craft supplies. I'll ask Yingying to come over and play tomorrow."
After speaking, Jiang Siyun looked at Jiang Nuan with her big, watery eyes, more cunning than a fox.
When Jiang Nuan saw her daughter's overwhelming affection, she felt a bit unnerved.
This little girl surely had something else up her sleeve.
Jiang Nuan looked at her and asked directly, "Go on, what is it this time?"
Jiang Siyun glanced at her father beside them and winked at him.
Mu Jiuchen: "..." Looking at his daughter's wiggling eyes, he didn't quite understand what she meant.
Jiang Siyun grew anxious. Why had this "cheap" dad come home?
"Jiang Siyun, are your eyes twitching?" Jiang Nuan asked, looking at her daughter's reaction with surprise.
"Ha! Mom, I've put you up for matchmaking. Surprise, right? Unexpected, right?!"
Jiang Nuan: "..."
Mu Jiuchen stared at his daughter abruptly, wondering how even his last ally had defected.
"This is a fright, not a surprise. How dare you try to arrange a marriage for me?" Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes at her daughter.
Jiang Siyun pointed at her "cheap" dad and said, "Mom, it's him!"
Mu Jiuchen: "..." Surprise, right? Unexpected, right! Very surprising, very unexpected!
As expected, the little padded jacket was the most considerate!
Jiang Nuan looked at Mu Jiuchen.
Mu Jiuchen looked at her innocently, indicating he had no idea what was going on.
"Jiang Siyun, go upstairs."
Jiang Siyun nodded vigorously, "Mom, Master Jiu is really great, okay? Mommy, you're the most beautiful. Master Jiu has fallen for your charms." Jiang Siyun went upstairs with a smile, leaving them some space.
Jiang Nuan pressed her forehead. What exactly had this girl learned at school?
Yuan Yuan and Xiao Jinli should be picking up Xia Xia.
Thinking of Yun Xia, she thought of Yun Tong. Thinking of Yun Tong, she thought of Mu Jiuchen's father?
She cast a silent glance at Mu Jiuchen. A few months later, suddenly having a younger brother and sister, she wondered how he would feel?
"Um... the child is just talking nonsense, please don't mind her."
Mu Jiuchen looked at her deeply, "...Do I look like I mind?"
Jiang Nuan looked at him. His gaze was profound, and he was desperately trying to hide some emotions she couldn't understand.
Jiang Nuan honestly shook her head, "I can't tell." She didn't believe such an excellent Master Jiu would like a mother with children.
"That's good. But if Miss Jiang Nuan needs someone for matchmaking, you can consider me. I am also single at the moment." Mu Jiuchen stood up and flaunted his strong arms in front of her.
"Brother is also a handsome man with a good physique and muscles." Mu Jiuchen specifically struck a cool pose and winked at Jiang Nuan, sending a subtle signal.
"Pfft..." Jiang Nuan was amused by his demeanor.
Even the ascetic and cold Master Jiu had a day when he had to promote himself.
"Alright, Master Jiu, you should go back. I have guests coming later. My friend Xia Yun is returning today."
Mu Jiuchen felt like his display had been in vain.
However, the name sounded somewhat familiar.
Suddenly recalling something, his expression changed.
Xia Yun, Xia Tong's sister, could it be the same person?
Mu Jiuchen glanced at the tablet on the table, "These are gifts for the children. I'll head back today and come to find you tomorrow."
After speaking, Mu Jiuchen picked up his jacket and left.
Jiang Nuan watched his broad and imposing back, inexplicably thinking his embrace must be very warm.
Jiang Nuan suddenly startled, and her face flushed crimson.
What was she thinking?
She slapped her face hard, telling herself not to overthink.
Remembering that dinner hadn't been prepared, she quickly went to the kitchen to busy herself.
...
As soon as Mu Jiuchen entered the door, he saw that his usually off-limits living room was filled with Mu family elders and Rong Yin.
Mu Jiuchen's expression quickly turned cold, and an icy aura surged from his gaze.
Li Qingshuo, sitting alone not far away, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mu Jiuchen return.
These Mu family patriarchs were all difficult to deal with.
Especially since Rong Yin also seemed intent on getting involved.
Mu Jiuchen's second uncle watched him with a cold eye. This brat had really gotten capable.
Rong Yin looked at Mu Jiuchen as he entered, a faint smile in his narrow, captivating peach-blossom eyes.
Mu Yunxiao was completely dragged in to fill the numbers.
Seeing his son enter, he showed no particular expression.
Mu Jiuchen's eldest uncle and his two cousins also tagged along, looking at Mu Jiuchen with schadenfreude.
In Jin City, when the Mu family was mentioned, everyone only knew of Mu Jiuchen's existence.
Mu Jiuchen frowned, looking at his eldest uncle's son, Mu Siyi, occupying his seat, with a look of disdain.
The second uncle sneered, "Mu Jiuchen, you're quite capable, aren't you? You even dare to snatch Master Rong's business?"
Mu Jiuchen had a servant bring over a chair and calmly sat down opposite his second uncle, then said nonchalantly, "Second Uncle, thank you for the compliment!"
Mu Yunlei detested this fearless demeanor of his the most. Enraged, he said, "Master Rong is here! Mu Jiuchen, don't be too presumptuous."
Mu Jiuchen pointed at his house door, "Second Uncle, if you don't want to be named Mu, leave this door, go a kilometer away to the police station, and change your surname to Rong."
"Hmph! Mu Jiuchen, don't get too carried away. I brought Master Rong here today to make you apologize. You must give Master Rong thirty percent of the profits you've earned."
Mu Yunlei's tone was irrefutable. This Mu Jiuchen was too detestable. These years, their collateral branch had not benefited at all from Mu Jiuchen's success. Now, the most important business was the cooperation with the Rong family.
If this cooperation fell through, their family business would struggle to survive.
"Heh heh..." Mu Jiuchen seemed to have heard a joke.
Mu Jiuchen glanced at Rong Yin, who was enjoying the show, and said with a smile, "Ask Rong Yin, does he dare to take it?"
Rong Yin, who had been called out, tilted his head and smiled, "If Master Jiu is willing, why would I dare not to take it." With Mu Jiuchen's involvement, he had lost over a hundred million in profit.
This was no small sum.
"Young Master Rong, allow me to remind you, I did not snatch your business. I submitted a cooperation proposal to Qiguo before you did, and they ultimately chose our company. Although you had reached a cooperation agreement before, the person you were cooperating with was not the one in charge. You know this better than anyone."
"Now, colluding with my family elders to cause trouble here, what does Young Master Rong mean by this?"
Rong Yin narrowed his eyes slightly. With one sentence, Mu Jiuchen had pushed all the blame onto him.
During this period, he had been busy with Jiang Nuan and had unceremoniously ceded this business to Mu Jiuchen.
But it didn't matter. As long as Jiang Nuan agreed to cooperate, he could earn back hundreds of billions.
"Mu Jiuchen, this matter has nothing to do with Master Rong. I'm the one who brought Master Rong here," Mu Yunlei exclaimed indignantly.
Mu Jiuchen glanced at him, looking at his second uncle's ambitious eyes, clouded with greed and power. Having plotted for so many years, he had finally latched onto the Rong family, and naturally, he was determined to hold on. Da Feng Novel Network
"Alright, since Second Uncle brought him here himself to cause trouble, no matter what you promised, it has nothing to do with us. If you want to give your Master Rong thirty percent of the profits, you can discuss it among yourselves. Don't dirty my ears on my territory."
Mu Jiuchen stood up, looked at everyone, and said with extreme coldness, "Please leave!"
