The tender scene was abruptly interrupted, and several protagonists turned their heads at the same time.
Zhang Moyan moved her toes to the left and separated herself from her colleagues.
She knew there was no turning back once she took this step, but in the past few minutes, she suddenly realized a reality: if Chen Guanfu wanted to take any action, he wouldn't stop just because he couldn't find a bloodline successor. Her previous belief that Chen Guanfu would give up if she didn't show up was naive.
For example, Chen Guanfu would look for alternative executors.
In this case, she might as well expose herself and attract all the other party's attention.
Zhang Moyan knew that she was not brave and did not like to meddle in other people's business, but when she thought that what Chen Guanfu was going to do might endanger Xiao Xingyu, she could not ignore it.
Besides, she had already decided to join the game, so why should she be afraid of going deeper?
The silent scene was filled with an atmosphere of confrontation, and everyone was briefly in a state of stillness.
"Why?" After a long time, Chen Guanfu asked Zhang Moyan from a distance of four or five meters.
Zhang Moyan ignored the question. Her gaze passed over Chen Guanfu and swept straight to the girl. "He said being his granddaughter wouldn't be easy. Can't you hear the difficulties and dangers involved? You agreed impulsively. Do you know what he wants you to do? Besides, his place is a hell of a place. You have no relationship with him. There's no need to waste time and energy on his pursuit."
"Oh my god..." Jin Xueyang widened his eyes, grabbed Zhang Moyan's sleeve and pulled her closer, with an expression that said "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Moyan pulled her sleeves back indifferently.
Her words immediately baffled everyone present. They were either whispering to each other or looking at each other. She even heard the two management trainees mutter, "Isn't this a good thing?"
Not only that, her advice did not sway the girl in the slightest. The girl was very determined: "You don't understand what it's like to be an orphan without any relatives? Maybe you don't believe me, but I don't care what difficulties I encounter. I've been through these past twenty years, and there's no hardship in this world that I can't endure. I dare say that as long as others can do it, I can definitely do it!"
Although there was not a single complaint in these words, the hardships beneath the words touched people's hearts. Fujiwara Nanako was deeply moved, and the leaders of the appraisal agency and the police expressed deep sympathy.
Zhang Moyan shook her head and sighed that the girl was naive and didn't know that things in this world cannot be divided into "difficult" and "easy". Some things are not difficult to do, but they have to go against one's conscience.
Also, how could she not understand the feelings of orphans?
Zhang Moyan smiled wryly, but her words remained unsympathetic. "Your family might also be trying hard to find you. With the current advancements in information and technology, you might be reunited with them soon. When you finally face your true family, will you acknowledge them or not? On the other hand, if you establish a kinship with Professor Chen now, and one day you find your true family and return to your roots, won't that force him to experience the pain of losing a loved one all over again?"
"Moyan, stop talking!" Jin Xueyang had already heard that something was wrong with Zhang Moyan, and expected that this girl was going to cause trouble today.
"There's no conflict," the academic girl said with a displeased expression, her desire to debate sparked by Zhang Moyan. "I recognize Professor Chen as my family and won't give up on searching for my own. If I'm lucky enough to find my real family someday, I won't abandon Professor Chen and his family and will continue to treat them well. By then, I'll have double the affection of my family and be happier than most people!"
Zhang Moyan opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Looking at the girl's shining eyes, she knew that no matter how much she said, it would probably not do anything to persuade her.
No one knew better than her what kind of temptation family was to an orphan, not to mention that Chen Guanfu was not an ordinary person, but a well-known elite living in Japan.
The weather is bad today. There are thick clouds outside the window. The gray light reflected on Zhang Moyan's already cold and silent face is so bright that it seems like a layer of ice chips can be wiped off.
Jin Xueyang had never seen Zhang Moyan like this before. He shook her arm carefully, as if afraid of breaking it. "Are you okay? What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Zhang Moyan said calmly.
The atmosphere in the room began to become increasingly awkward. The police and the leaders of the appraisal center were exchanging opinions on Zhang Moyan's statement. The aggrieved girl turned her head and wiped away her tears. Ms. Fujiwara stroked her arm and comforted her softly.
Zhang Moyan looked around, the corner of her mouth curled up, and she abruptly turned her gaze to Chen Guanfu, who had been calm and gentle as a bystander. "Professor Chen, do you think what I said makes sense?"
Chen Guanfu stirred upon hearing this and smiled at her politely, "Is this Miss Zhang? I saw your name on the previous arrangement process."
"Yes." Zhang Moyan said indifferently.
Chen Guanfu crossed his fingers in front of him, remaining humble and graceful. "You're right. She's indeed a bit impulsive. She has no idea what I want her to do, nor how difficult it will be. But," he paused, "Miss Zhang, do you know what I want her to do?"
Zhang Moyan paused for a moment. Although she stood up with the intention of revealing her identity, she didn't expect Chen Guanfu to be so perceptive.
The reception room was spacious, but at this moment it was so cramped that it seemed to be only a circle with the distance between her and Chen Guanfu as its diameter.
Zhang Moyan couldn't help but take a deep breath. It was terrifying that a man with a plaster cast and sitting in a wheelchair could have such power.
"Whether I know what you want her to do or not is different from whether you want to take advantage of a girl who longs for family affection." She was not afraid and her thoughts were clear.
