Chapter 132 I came alone today
Song Rui's expression was somewhat awkward, and his tone was filled with helplessness:
"Miss Mu's affairs abroad were deliberately concealed. We can only find information about her identity as Grace. As for her private life... we can hardly find any useful clues."
"You can't find out anything about your private life?"
Lu Yiran's brows were furrowed, and there was obvious displeasure in his tone.
Song Rui nodded reluctantly:
"Yes, Mr. Lu, the other party has done a very strict confidentiality work, and we haven't made any breakthrough yet."
Lu Yiran's face darkened instantly. He put down the documents in his hand and stared at Song Rui coldly:
"Who is hiding her information behind this? Is it the Su family?"
Song Rui shook his head:
"It's still unclear at the moment, but the other party's background is obviously not simple."
Lu Yiran was silent for a moment and waved his hand:
"You go out first."
Song Rui felt relieved, quickly picked up the signed document, and quickly left the office. After the door closed, Lu Yiran leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling with a gloomy look, with complicated emotions surging in his heart.
The appearance of Su Muyang, Mu Nanyan's hidden past, and the child who looked very much like him...all of this was like a mess, making him feel unprecedented irritability and uneasiness.

"Sister Yan, why haven't you gotten up yet? I'm going to be late for school!"
Chenchen stood by the bed, fully dressed and carrying a small schoolbag. He looked anxiously at Mu Nanyan, who was still half asleep in bed.
Mu Nanyan was awakened by Chenchen's voice. She turned over in a daze and forced herself to open her eyes.
She glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table and immediately realized that it was already late. She rubbed her eyes and sat up with a look of despair on her face, her tone lazily and helpless:
"Chenchen, how about I ask someone to take you there?"
Chenchen shook his head, seriousness written all over his face:
"Forget it, Sister Yan, just have a good rest. I can go by myself."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room, closing the door considerately.
Mu Nanyan looked at the closed door, feeling both relieved and a little guilty. She yawned, lay back on the bed, and muttered:
"Chenchen is really becoming more and more sensible..."
Before she could finish her words, her eyelids began to twitch again. Not long after, she fell into a deep sleep again. The room was quiet again, with only Mu Nanyan's even breathing as the sound.

As soon as Chenchen arrived at the school gate, he saw a car slowly stop and Su Xiaonuan jumped out of the car.
She spotted Chenchen immediately and ran towards him happily with a bright smile on her face:
"Brother Chenchen!"
"Xiao Nuan."
Chenchen responded with a smile and a gentle tone. Su Xiaonuan looked behind Chenchen and asked doubtfully:
"Brother Chenchen, where is the beautiful aunt? Didn't she send you off today?"
"I came here alone today."
Chenchen spoke calmly, as if this was a very normal thing.
"Wow, brother, you're so awesome! You actually dare to go out alone! I don't even dare!"
Su Xiaonuan widened her eyes, her tone full of admiration.
"You'll get used to it."
Chenchen said lightly, without much expression on his face. At this moment, a gentle female voice came from behind the two of them:
"Nuannuan, run slower, be careful not to fall."
Chenchen and Su Xiaonuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in her thirties walking towards them. She was wearing a simple and elegant dress with a gentle smile on her face.
Su Xiaonuan immediately ran to the woman, took her hand, and said excitedly:
"Mommy, this is the brother Chenchen I told you about yesterday! Brother, this is my mommy."
Chenchen nodded politely, his tone respectful:
"Hello, Auntie."
The woman smiled and touched Chenchen's head, her tone gentle:
"Hello, little friend. Last night Nuannuan kept telling me that she had met a brother. You two will go to school together in the future. Can you help me take care of your sister?"
Chenchen nodded, his tone serious:
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of my sister."
The woman smiled with satisfaction:
"Thank you. When you have time, you can come to my house with Nuannuan and I will make you something delicious."
"Thank you, Auntie." Chenchen responded politely. The woman looked at her watch and reminded her:
"You're welcome. Go in quickly, or you'll be late."
"Goodbye, Auntie!" Chenchen waved.
"Goodbye, Mommy!" Su Xiaonuan said sweetly.
Afterwards, Chenchen took Su Xiaonuan and walked into the school. Li Muqi watched their backs until they entered the teaching building, then turned around and drove away.
On the way, Su Xiaonuan approached Chenchen mysteriously and whispered:
"Brother, I have a secret to tell you."
"What secret?"
Chenchen glanced at her sideways, his tone still calm.
"My uncle likes pretty aunt! If they get together someday, you'll really be my brother! Then we can go to and from school together!"
Su Xiaonuan said this, her face full of anticipation and excitement. However, Chenchen's face had no expression, neither happy nor unhappy. He just said lightly:
"Sister Yan doesn't like him."
"How do you know? Did the pretty aunt tell you?" Su Xiaonuan asked unconvinced.
"No, I guessed." Chenchen's tone remained calm.
"Then I don't believe it! My uncle is so nice, how could the beautiful aunt not like him?"
Su Xiaonuan pouted, obviously dissatisfied with Chenchen's answer. Chenchen did not refute, but asked:
"What kind of man is your uncle?"
This question stumped Su Xiaonuan. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly:
"Actually... I'm not too sure. I only met my uncle recently, but he was very kind and gentle to me."
Chenchen frowned subconsciously:
"You haven't seen him before?"
"I think I have... Mommy said that my uncle came back when I was born, but he has been abroad since then, so I haven't seen him since."
There was a hint of uncertainty in Su Xiaonuan's tone.
After hearing this, Chenchen thought that Su Muyang was just going abroad to work and didn't think much about it. The two of them walked and chatted and soon arrived at the classroom door.
Since this school mainly cultivates students' specialties, Chenchen chose equestrianism and painting, while Su Xiaonuan chose piano and dance, so the two were not in the same class.
"Brother, I'm going to class! See you after class!"
Su Xiaonuan waved her hand and skipped towards her classroom.
"Um."
Chenchen nodded, watched her leave, then turned and walked towards his classroom. There was still no expression on his face, but he felt a little complicated in his heart.
Su Xiaonuan’s words lingered in his mind, and he couldn’t help but start to wonder, would Sister Yan be with that uncle?
As he thought about this, the man he saw at the banquet last time popped up in his mind unconsciously. Could that uncle be my father?
