Mu Cangnan was somewhat surprised. In his opinion, although his eldest sister married late and her husband was a divorcee, her marriage was still considered happy.

My brother-in-law is well-educated and reasonable; he is an intellectual. Although he has a daughter from his previous marriage, she is quite sensible.

He asked, "Big sister, is there some misunderstanding between you and your husband? How did it come to the point of divorce?"

Mu Jiuhong said, "His ex-wife came back. I don't know what tricks she used, but he insisted on divorcing me and wanted to bring his ex-wife home."

Of course, she wouldn't say a word about things she shouldn't have said. By saying something like that, she would put herself in the most innocent position!

Li Xiulan said, "It must be that vixen ex-wife who wants to come back to the Li family. It's one thing for her to cheat on you with other men, but now that she's old, she wants to break up your older sister and brother-in-law! I've never seen such a shameless woman!"

Mu Cangnan's brows furrowed slightly as he said, "I have to go back to the research base first thing tomorrow morning. I'll talk to my brother-in-law when I get back."

Mu Jiuhong said, "You should bring a few more brothers to scare him and let him know that the Mu family is not to be trifled with!"

Oh, and you also need to find Cheng Xiaohui and tell her to give up on going back to the Li family!

Mu Cangnan said, "Big sister, this isn't like leading an army into battle. What would I do with so many people? I'll talk to my brother-in-law first and find out what's going on!"

Mu Jiuhong immediately became anxious, "Is there anything else you need to know? Didn't I already tell you!"

That shameless slut wanted to go back to the Li family. I don't know what she did, but your brother-in-law is soft-hearted and wants to divorce me so he can take her back!

Oh, and her shameless daughter! Her daughter is even worse!

"She's always picking on me and Li Yan. Look at the injury on Li Yan's leg, she's the one who hit her!"

Li Yan stretched out her legs to show her uncle her knees. "Uncle, look at my knees, they're all bruised! It hurts so much! I haven't been able to walk properly for the past two days."

Li Xiulan felt sorry for her granddaughter's knees when she saw them. She complained, "How can that girl be so wild? How could she hit someone like that? She has no manners at all!"

Mu Cangnan said, "Didn't you and Li Yin have a good relationship? Didn't she rarely see her biological mother? Why would she suddenly hit someone?"

Mu Jiuhong said, "It's not Li Yin! Li Yin is not Li Wenbo's daughter."

I only found out today that Li Yin is Jin Cuicui's daughter. Jin Cuicui used her own daughter to impersonate Li Wenbo's daughter.

"That despicable woman, Cheng Xiaohui, found her biological daughter and is now dragging her home to gain Li Wenbo's sympathy!"

She selectively told Mu Cangnan what she could, but she would never tell Mu Cangnan about Cheng Xiaohui being framed by Jin Cuicui or Jin Cuicui drugging Li Wenbo.

Mu Cangnan hadn't expected things to be so complicated. He said, "Big sister, don't worry. I'll talk to your husband when I get back."

"Hmm, has a girl come to your house looking for you recently?"

Mu Jiuhong asked in surprise, "Girl? What girl?"

Mu Cangnan said, "It was a pitiful girl I met on the road. Her adoptive mother sold her to an old bachelor."

I rescued her and had someone bring her back to the capital. I gave her your address so she could contact you if she needed anything.

Mu Jiuhong's eyes concealed displeasure. Why did her own younger brother meddle in everything? He couldn't even finish crying at their own ancestral graves, yet he went to cry at some random grave!

She said, "No girl has come to my house. I guess she's probably not busy!"

Mu Cangnan pursed his lips slightly, his gaze deep. Perhaps nothing really happened, which was why Yue'er hadn't come looking for Mu Jiuhong...

It seemed like the best possible outcome, but he still felt a sense of emptiness, as if he had lost something...

The next moment, he shook his head, shaking off all the jumbled thoughts in his mind.

Now is not the time to think about girls; he has an important mission to complete!

He told his mother and older sister that he was sleepy and went back to his room to sleep.

Saying they'd leave early tomorrow morning was just an excuse; their real mission was to leave at midnight tonight.

In the middle of the night, they would set off for the capital base at the same time as the main force that was pretending to bring Miss Qiu back.

According to reliable intelligence they received, spies wanted to destroy Miss Chiu and sabotage their nuclear test.

Li Xiyue hid behind a tree, quietly observing everything happening in the Mu family's home.

When she heard Mu Cangnan ask her about her, a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

Mu Cangnan still remembers her!

Mu Cangnan still thinks about her!

What's most infuriating is that Mu Jiuhong actually distorted the facts, and Li Yan even claimed that the injury on her knee was inflicted by her!

Haha, this mother and daughter lied without even blinking!

But how could she get close to Mu Cangnan?

As she watched the sky grow darker and darker, she worried that Cheng Xiaohui would fret about her, so she rode her bicycle home first and planned to come back to find Mu Cangnan later that evening.

Sure enough, she came back late, and Cheng Xiaohui was already worried about her.

When Cheng Xiaohui saw her daughter return, her worried face finally broke into a smile. "Yue'er, Mom made braised noodles with meat slices, shrimp, and red bean curd sheets! I guarantee you'll love it!"

Li Xiyue said, "They even put red powder on it? Mom, isn't this a wedding noodle dish?!"

Cheng Xiaohui said, "Yes! It's wedding noodles! We're having wedding noodles today. I made a lot, so I'll give a bowl to each of the neighbors in the courtyard later, so everyone can enjoy our family's wedding noodles."

Li Xiyue understood her mother's feelings. After suffering so many years of injustice, she had finally washed away the label of "slut" and "bitch" that had been attached to her.

She said, "Mom, look what this is! I also bought firecrackers. We'll set them off in a little while!"

Cheng Xiaohui's face lit up with a smile. "Yes, let's set off firecrackers! Let's set off all these strings of firecrackers today to ward off all the bad luck in our family! From now on, our family will have good days!"

Li Xiyue delivered the celebratory noodles to her neighbor's house, and then set off firecrackers at the entrance of the alley using a long bamboo pole.

Just as the firecrackers were going off in a lively and bustling manner, she saw Li Wenbo riding his bicycle to the entrance of her alley.

In just half a day, Li Wenbo seemed to have aged twenty years in an instant!

Li Wenbo, carrying a large net bag of things, walked up to Li Xiyue and stared at his daughter without blinking.

His lips trembled slightly before he finally spoke, "Yue'er! Daughter, is your mother home?!"

Li Xiyue glared at Li Wenbo, "Who's your daughter?! You've mistaken me for someone else, Li Yin is your daughter!"

Li Wenbo closed his eyes in pain for a moment, "Daughter, Dad knows he was wrong!"

"Give Dad a chance to make it up to you and your daughter, okay? Dad will apologize to you both!"

Li Xiyue said, "If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?"

I'll stab you to death, then apologize. Would you forgive me? We're both experiencing life for the first time, why should I forgive you?!
