Opposite them were Mu Yicheng and Fan Shuangliang.
But Fan Shuangliang seemed to dislike Mr. Mu's look.
"Yicheng, how are you feeling lately?"
"That's good, Grandpa Lao is concerned about you."
Mu Yicheng looks in good spirits.
"Oh, that's good. Although grandpa won't live with you, he is worried about you. You should take good care of yourself and marry the young lady from the Xu family and give grandpa a big fat grandson."
"Grandpa, I want to ask, why is our family engaged with the Xu family?"
This has always puzzled Mu Yicheng.
"This was arranged by the old man of the Xu family back then. When he was still alive, we had a good relationship, so we arranged this marriage for you. Although he is no longer with us, this marriage cannot be disregarded..."
Mr. Mu sighed.
"It's a pity that Lao Xu passed away so early, otherwise I could have found someone to play chess with."
Fan Shuangliang despised this point of Mr. Mu the most, it was so fake.
It's just that he didn't want to destroy the image of a kind grandfather that Mr. Mu had in Cheng's heart.
"Yicheng, I came here to tell you something. Xu Shengyi's affairs have been circulating for a while now. I don't know if you like her. If you don't like her, I will cancel this marriage at the cost of my reputation and won't make things difficult for you."
"Retreat? It's time to retreat, but there's no rush, Grandpa."
"So you don't like Xu Shengyi either, right?"
"It's not that I look down on Miss Xu, it's that I think Miss Xu won't look down on me."
With the Ninth Master of the Huai family by his side, who in this small place like Lincheng can compete with the Ninth Master for glory?
"What are you talking about? Even the Xu family wouldn't dare look down on you. You know the status of our Mu family in Lincheng. If you are not satisfied with this marriage, I will cancel it for you."
"Grandpa, you've never mentioned breaking off the engagement before, so why are you asking me to break off the engagement with the Xu family this time?"
"Didn't Grandpa just say that Xu Shengyi has had a lot on his plate lately..."
Mu Yicheng refused to cancel the engagement.
What's more, even if the engagement was to be cancelled, he thought it would not be the Mu family that did it, as that would be too disrespectful to Miss Xu.
At least Xu Daxian should come and cancel the engagement with me, right?
When Mr. Mu left, Mu Yicheng turned and looked at Fan Shuangliang.
"You're always like this every time my grandpa comes. Tell me, what's going on? Is there something I don't know?"
Mu Yicheng was half leaning on the sofa.
"You know very well that your grandfather wanted to cancel the engagement, but he heard that your grandfather wanted to introduce you to the daughter of the Jingcheng family."
Looking at Mu Yicheng's expression at this moment, it was different from the expression he had when he met Grandpa Mu just now.
"You've been playing dumb in the Mu family for so many years. I almost believed you just now, thinking you were your grandfather's good grandson. You couldn't see how he was using you, or what his purpose was."
"It's just that my grandfather's family still has some influence in the capital, and they have extensive connections with various noble families in the capital, so they have kept me here. If I marry a young lady from the capital, it will also be helpful to his Mu family and will consolidate the Mu family's position as the number one family in Lincheng. That's it."
Mu Yicheng pulled a thin blanket over himself and covered himself with it.
Fan Shuangliang immediately stood up and closed the window that had just been opened to let in the air.
"Yicheng, how about... you go back to the capital? Your grandfather can still protect you there, and you don't have to worry here. I'll help you investigate what you want to investigate in Lincheng. I'm afraid they'll harm you..."
"After so many years, they are very cunning. They killed my parents back then, but they didn't leave any evidence. I couldn't send them to jail myself. This is the regret of my life!"
Mu Yicheng looked a little cold.
"Shuangliang, we're all family... why would they want to harm my parents? Are they just afraid that my parents will fight with him for the family fortune? They're obviously... brothers...!"
That’s right!
The death of my parents in the car accident that year was not an accident.
But he was killed by his own brother Mu Shan!
Because his mother was the daughter of the Pu family in the capital, and his father was very capable and was very much loved by his grandfather, so his second uncle had evil thoughts about him.
He thought that if he killed or eliminated his parents, the inheritance rights of the Mu family would fall into the hands of him and his son!
They had been planning this for a long time. At the beginning, they drugged their mother, hoping to cause the fetus to die in the womb, but their mother discovered it in time, so they gave birth to them safely.
However, after giving birth to me, my mother's health became worse and worse.
Until that time when my mother was unwell and my father was driving her to the hospital.
Colliding with a truck, his parents died on the spot!
"Yicheng, don't be sad, I will be with you."
Fan Shuangliang knew all the mess in the Mu family.
"Actually, you don't need to feel sad for such a family. I once asked my grandfather, and even the engagement between your family and the Xu family was arranged by your grandfather through the request of Mr. Xu..."
Back then, the Mu family in Lincheng did not have such a status, but the Xu family's business was doing very well.
Old Master Mu thought that if the two families had a relationship, his Mu family's business would be easier, so he arranged a marriage for his child, but the one he was referring to was Xu Miao.
When they got engaged, Xu Shengyi had already been lost, and Xu Miao had been brought back to the Xu family for two years.
Yicheng's parents were still alive at that time, and everyone in Lincheng thought that Yicheng's parents would take over the Mu family's business, so Xu Shengyi's biological parents were also very satisfied with this marriage.
Later, Yicheng's parents died and his health deteriorated. Xu Miao from the Xu family was very outstanding, so the Xu family took Xu Shengyi back and wanted to marry Xu Shengyi to Yicheng...
"Yicheng, we've been searching for so many years, but there's still no evidence. They hid it too deeply."
"What do you mean? Are you trying to persuade me to give up? My parents' lives can't just be lost like this! Do you think I'd be willing to live the rest of my life in a muddled state with a half-crippled body?"
After saying this, without even looking at Fan Shuangliang's expression, he went straight into the bedroom and closed the door.
"I'm not advising you to give up, Yicheng. I just think you're...making yourself too tired..."
He didn't want Yicheng to have such a hard time.
Maybe there is someone who can help him?

Xu Shengyi hasn't seen Huai Jiuchen for two days. She is curious about what this man is doing?
So at night, I secretly jumped from the balcony to 9001.
But as soon as she landed, she felt that her movements were very light, but she still woke up the man in the living room.
Huai Jiuchen didn't even look at the balcony. He went to the side and took some slippers for her to change into.
Because at this time Xu Shengyi was still wearing summer flip-flops.
"Didn't I buy you winter cotton shoes? Why aren't you wearing them?"
