After leaving Chu Yaqin's house, Mu Liuyun returned to her own front door.
This time the door wasn't locked from the inside, and it was easily opened with a fingerprint.
Looking at the keyhole blocked by the broken key, Mu Liuyun said angrily, "It's all your fault, you stupid door, that made me enjoy so much!"
Entering the house, Mu Liuyun went straight to Old Man Mu's room and shouted, "Old man, get up!"
Mu Liuyun screamed until she was hoarse, and as long as Old Man Mu hadn't gotten up yet, she was sure to be so frightened that she would fall to the ground.
But there was no sound from the room. Mu Liuyun curiously pushed open the door, only to find the room empty.
"Strange, where are they?"
At this time usually, Old Man Mu would still be asleep. What's going on today?
Just as she was wondering, Mu Liuyun turned her head and saw Old Man Mu sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a kind expression.
This expression was different from Old Man Mu's usual playful and smiling demeanor, reminding Mu Liuyun of the scene when she first saw Old Man Mu after crawling out of the trash can.
That's exactly the expression Old Man Mu had at the time.
For some reason, Mu Liuyun felt a sense of panic as the old man Mu stared at her, as if something that belonged to him was about to leave.
"Old man, what's wrong with you? You won't answer when I call you."
"Who wants to listen to you shouting so loudly so early in the morning?"
Although he still spoke in that same dismissive tone, Old Man Mu's expression remained unchanged, as if he wanted to take a second look at Mu Liuyun.
"Grandpa, what's wrong? What happened?"
Old Man Mu did not answer Mu Liuyun's question, but simply beckoned to her: "Little Yun, come sit over here and let Grandpa take a look at you."
Upon hearing this, Mu Liuyun's heart skipped a beat. She rushed over in three steps, plopped down next to Old Man Mu, and tremblingly tugged at his hand.
"grandfather..."
"It's been fourteen years since Grandpa found Xiaoyun. That little rascal has grown into this, this, hmm? graceful young lady."
Mu Liuyun didn't speak, but as she looked at the nostalgia in Old Man Mu's eyes, her unease gradually grew.
"Sigh, to be honest, I, Mu Lixiong, have no real skills in this life. My greatest skill is picking up you two brats. The two of them before were doing poorly, and all they did was send me money without ever coming back to visit me."
"If I run into those two older brothers, I'll call them back."
Excluding those who were adopted after only a few months in the orphanage, Old Man Mu raised a total of four children, not counting Mu Liuyun and Mu Xiaoxi, but also two older boys.
However, since they left as adults, they have never returned or made any contact. Occasionally, they would send a few anonymous letters containing only some cash.
Judging from the amount and frequency of their cash transactions, they seem to be doing quite well, so why don't they come back?
Mu Liuyun had no time to think about these issues; he just wanted to know why Old Man Mu was suddenly acting so strangely.
"Never mind, it's not important anymore, Xiaoyun."
As he spoke, Old Man Mu looked at Mu Liuyun seriously and said, "I may have to leave."
Upon hearing these words, Mu Liuyun burst into tears. Having lived two lives, he cried like a child.
"Grandpa, what terminal illness have you got this time? I have money, I have money, I can get it cured!"
As she spoke, Mu Liuyun threw herself into Old Man Mu's arms, shoving her tears and snot all over his clothes.
Before Old Man Mu could even express his disdain, he stared at Mu Liuyun with a puzzled look: "What do you mean by terminal illness? What do you mean by having another terminal illness!"
Mu Liuyun acted as if she hadn't heard at all, and continued to wail: "Don't lie to me, it's okay, Xiaoyun has money. Xiaoyun has actually saved more than two million, but I was afraid you would spend it recklessly, so I only increased Xiaoxi's allowance."
"Alright, you little rascal!"
Old Man Mu was about to get angry, but when he saw Mu Liuyun crying with tears streaming down his face, he couldn't bear it anymore. He reached out and hugged Mu Liuyun, patting his back: "Grandpa is fine. Grandpa is going abroad with your Uncle Chu to get medical treatment."
Parkinson's syndrome has never been a fatal disease. With proper treatment and expert-assisted exercise, the body will not be much different from that of an ordinary person.
“Actually, some people have advised me against it before, but I thought I could stay with you for as long as I could. Now it seems that you and Xiaoxi are getting better and better, so Grandpa will leave for a little while. In the future, I want to see Xiaoyun bring Grandpa a great-grandson back.”
Under Old Man Mu's comforting words, Mu Liuyun frowned, her face still streaked with tears, and slowly lifted her head from Old Man Mu's embrace: "Are you serious?"
Seeing that Old Man Mu nodded, Mu Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief, let go of Old Man Mu, and casually wiped her face with a tissue: "You should have said so earlier, you scared me to death."
Old Man Mu chuckled mischievously, "Is it my fault? It's all because Xiao Yunzi hugged me and cried as soon as she came up here."
Ignoring the old man's smirk, Mu Liuyun patted her pocket and pulled out a card: "Grandpa, this contains most of my savings. You can take it; we can't let Uncle Chu bear the burden."
"How could I take your money? Don't worry, Grandpa has his own money."
As he spoke, Old Man Mu took out an old savings book and waved it in front of Mu Liuyun.
Mu Liuyun took it and exclaimed in surprise, "One million four hundred thousand! This, this..."
Mu Liuyun's intuition told her that this card was not simple, so she didn't continue speaking, but just looked at the old man in surprise.
Old Man Mu picked at his teeth and said nonchalantly, "This is your grandma's money."
The old man didn't say the rest, but Mu Liuyun felt she could guess. Because the longing in the old man's eyes was so heartbreaking.
So he chuckled and said, "You old codger, you actually managed to find a wife? Why didn't you tell us?"
With a "smack," a large hand slapped Mu Liuyun's buttocks.
"You brat, what are you saying? When Grandpa was young, he was a handsome man whose beauty surpassed even that of a pear tree in bloom."
Mu Liuyun pursed her lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. At least when she first met Old Man Mu, he already had a scruffy beard.
"Forget it, you're just a clueless little brat. I can't be bothered with you."
In the end, Old Man Mu never told Mu Liuyun the specific origin of the money, nor did he tell her that he hadn't touched it during the most difficult times.
However, now, in order to spend more time with Mu Liuyun and Mu Xiaoxi, Old Man Mu suddenly felt that it wouldn't be a bad idea to use this money for himself.
