Night falls.
While the Mu family was resting, Mu Tiantian secretly went to the beach.
Fortunately, the Mu family manor is located by the sea, which alleviated the dryness in my body.
Qitong has also transmitted detailed information about the Mu family to her.
The founder of the Mu family was not from this country. He came from an Eastern country and started from scratch. Decades later, Mu Xian became the heir and developed the Mu family into a top conglomerate.
The Cheng family is comparable to them.
The Cheng family's situation is similar to that of the Mu family.
Many people from other countries came here in the past, but only a handful actually survived and reached the top.
However, nowadays, only the Mu family remains as a wealthy and powerful family with a history of nearly a hundred years.
That is why Mu Xian values the Mu family's heir so much.
His original heir was his eldest son, Mu Shaojun, but he fell into the sea during a business trip and his fate remains unknown.
He only accepted the fact after Mu Shaojun's body was found.
His second son, Mu Shaocheng, was a good-for-nothing spendthrift who was far inferior to his eldest son in both ability and character.
His granddaughter, Mu Yun, looks a lot like Mu Shaocheng and doesn't have much ability either.
Therefore, Mu Xian was reluctant to hand over the Mu family to him and his daughter.
According to the information, Mu Xian was unaware that Mu Shaojun's death was caused by Mu Shaocheng.
Mu Tiantian pondered how to find evidence that Mu Shaocheng had framed her parents, so that he would pay the price for it.
Seven: [Noy is back. I saw him injure Luya and lock her in the dungeon. He must have recognized her as someone who wasn't you.]
Mu Tiantian was not surprised. Luya's eyes and voice were slightly different from hers. Anyone who knew her well would notice the difference after a short time.
She glanced at the scales on her body, which had spread from her waist to her thighs.
She's only been back for a day and she's already gone into the sea three times. If this continues, she'll probably become a mermaid in no time.
She just couldn't understand it...
Mu Tiantian: [How did he even do that...?]
Seven Universes: [Still wondering how he turned you into a mermaid?]
Mu Tiantian nodded while soaking in the sea.
Seven Unifications: [Actually, a hundred years ago, someone conducted experiments trying to see if humans could become mermaids, such as through blood transfusions or gene cultivation, but without exception, all of them failed. Moreover, mermaids cannot spontaneously transform into humans, so your situation is indeed very special.]
Mu Tiantian: [Blood transfusion...blood...Do you think if I accidentally drink his blood, I might turn into a mermaid?]
Qi Tong: [That's not impossible, after all, his genes are practically unique. There's only one known winged mermaid so far. But when did you drink his blood?]
Mu Tiantian swam out of the sea, picked up her clothes from the beach, put them on, and walked back, recalling the memory of when she pushed him off the cliff years ago.
He said, "It must have been when I gave him the lifeline back then."
After hearing what she said, it also remembered it.
She had tied the lifeline to Noe's blood pearl and then jumped into the sea, hoping Noe would eat it.
But Noy was unconscious and unable to swallow, so she put his mouth to his mouth and made him swallow. When Noy regained consciousness, he seemed to bite her.
When she got ashore, her mouth was full of blood, and her tongue was stinging intensely.
Qi Tong, recalling these events, said, "But wasn't that your blood? He bit your tongue, but you didn't bite him."
Mu Tiantian didn't say anything.
Looking back now, the blood in her mouth seemed to have two different tastes...
Mu Tiantian returned to the villa.
bell--
A phone rang in the extremely quiet living room, startling her.
She gently touched her chest and muttered softly, "There are no ghosts in this world, there are no ghosts in this world..."
"Damn it, who called in the middle of the night?" Mu Tiantian cursed under her breath as she walked toward the cabinet where the phone was. "If I find out who it was, I'll curse them to death!"
Just as she was about to pick up the phone, a maid came out of the room. Seeing Mu Tiantian, she looked puzzled. "Miss? You're still awake? Why is your hair..."
bell--
Before the maid could finish speaking, the phone rang again.
Mu Tiantian noticed that her hair was still wet, yawned and said, "I don't know who called, I was woken up, come and answer it quickly."
"Yes." The maid quickly answered the phone.
Mu Tiantian quickly walked back to her room to avoid being noticed anything amiss. As she closed her door, the door to the room next door opened.
Mu Yun walked out impatiently, shouting angrily, "Who made the call?"
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone, "This is Alec."
"Duke Alec," the maid said, her face immediately lighting up with a smile, and she asked cautiously, "Is there something urgent that comes so late?"
Upon hearing that it was Alec, Mu Yun immediately perked up and walked over to the maid, listening intently.
"I want to ask if Tian Tian has gone back?" Raine asked anxiously, sitting on the sofa and holding the phone.
In his other hand, he held a photo of a woman smiling brightly.
The maid replied, "The eldest young lady has returned. She came back with the second young lady during the day."
Mu Yun rolled her eyes and snorted coldly.
He called in the middle of the night just to ask if she was back. He's really deeply in love.
When Ryan heard other people's voices on the other end of the phone, he asked, "Who's next to me? Is it Tian Tian?"
Mu Yun's anger flared at his expectant words. Back when they were together, he had never treated her like this.
Seeing Mu Yun's anger, the maid cautiously replied, "The eldest young lady is already resting. It's the second young lady..."
With a snap, before the maid could finish speaking, Mu Yun hung up the phone and turned to walk towards her room.
Raine didn't care that the other party hung up on him; he just wanted to confirm whether Mu Tiantian had gone to the Mu family.
He stared blankly at the photo of Mu Tiantian.
In a daze, it felt as if I had returned to the past when she was there.
Several years ago, a traveler visited the site and took photos of the exterior of his ducal palace.
She happened to be watering the flowers in the yard.
She seemed to be in a good mood that day and asked the traveler to take a picture of her.
She happily took the photo, muttering to herself, "I'll give it to little Noe when I get back."
He heard those words and couldn't describe how he felt; he only knew he was very unhappy.
He walked up to her, his face grim, and asked her to take out the photos.
She said with dissatisfaction, "No way, Your Grace, you're so stingy, it's just a photograph."
"Alright, then you don't need to guard Noi for the next few days."
"You..." Mu Tiantian angrily took out the photo, "Here you go, here you go."
He took the photo; the woman in it had a radiant, genuine smile that he had never seen before.
He used to despise human smiles, finding them hypocritical and disgusting.
So he never let her fake a smile in front of him, and from that moment on, she never smiled at him again.
But she maintained a genuine smile towards everyone else, which fueled his anger. He said in a deep voice, "You are my slave, everything you have is mine, including this photograph."
He repeated these words many times, as if only in this way could he assert his sovereignty.
Rein snapped out of his daze and put the photo away. Even after so many years, she was still his. Even if she died, she could only die in his hands, and he could dispose of her body as he pleased!
