When Yang Shushu returned home, her father and mother were preparing to go to the tofu shop. They didn't know about Ji Delu's situation yet, and were just a little surprised to see the couple come so early.
Until Yang Shushu said to them seriously: "Mom and Dad, I have something to talk to you about."
They were both stunned at the same time, then looked at each other, with an evasive look on their faces: "Shushu, your dad and I still have to work, otherwise..."
"Mom." Yang Shushu interrupted her softly, interrupting her fantasy of escape.
Finally, Father Yang shook his wife's hand and nodded: "Go home first."
In the Yang family's living room, on both sides of the sofa, sat an elderly couple and a young couple. The elderly couple clasped their hands tightly together, with heavy expressions on their faces, as if they were waiting for some kind of judgment. The young couple opposite them, on the other hand, looked relatively relaxed.
Yang Shushu looked at her parents helplessly: "Dad, Mom, what do you think of me? I am whoever they say I am. I am an adult, not a child."
"But...but, we have lied to you for so many years, even when your biological parents came to find us, we still didn't want to tell you the truth..." Mother Yang lowered her head and said softly.
Yang Shushu sneered at this time: "My biological parents? Found me? Yes, they found me. They should have disappeared long ago, but they haven't shown up yet, right? Dad, Mom, I'm not a child. I can tell who is good to me."
The two of them were stunned for a long time after hearing her words. Finally, Yang's father looked at her with an unbelievable tone and tears in his eyes: "Then Shushu... you won't leave us? Even if your biological father can give you a better life?"
"Of course." Not only would she not go back, she didn't even have any special feelings for the father.
She was not Yang Shushu herself, and Yang Shushu's original memories were all beautiful memories of living with this couple. As for her biological parents——
Perhaps someone as soft-hearted as her original self would have wanted to see her, but she didn't. Just as she had said, if they really wanted to find her as much as Ji Delu said, why hadn't Ji Delu appeared even after so long? Instead, the person who wanted to kill her showed up?
After hearing her promise, Yang's parents could no longer hold back their tears and excitedly hugged each other. Then they rushed to Yang Shushu at the same time, hugging her from the left and right: "That's great, that's great, that's great..."
They kept repeating the same sentence to express their feelings at the moment. From their excitement, one could imagine how anxious their lives had been recently.
Yang Shushu's eyes also became hot. She didn't know that her parents had been enduring the pain of fear of losing her. The mixed feeling of worry, uneasiness, fear and guilt must have tortured them every day and night.
Mu Shicang watched the three of them hugging each other, and his hands on his legs slowly closed. He began to imagine that if Yang Shushu knew the reason why he married her, would she forgive him in the same way -
How great would that be!

The matter on the Yang family's side was resolved, but Yang Shushu felt that the matter should not be over. The child seen that day was not a child, but a dwarf killer who was just wearing children's clothes to hide his identity. The main target should be the bodyguard in the dark. It is conceivable that he had known that there was a bodyguard in the dark.
This killer doesn't look like a simple desperado.
She told Mu Shicang about her idea, and Mu Shicang sat there holding the coffee cup, deep in thought.
Now they were in his office, sitting on the sofa in the reception area. Yang Shushu was also holding a cup of coffee. She said, "Why would anyone from the Ji family want to kill me? Even if I really am a member of the Ji family, I'm just a newly found granddaughter. Is it necessary?"
"But you are the eldest granddaughter of the Ji family." Mu Shicang put down his coffee. "The Ji family in Huacheng City has a history even older than the four major families in Jinjing. They attach great importance to the exiled eldest. This is why Ji Delu was only adopted by your biological father, but his status in the Ji family is so transcendent. But in the final analysis, you are the eldest grandson of this exiled branch."
Yang Shushu was stunned when she heard this: "What era is this? How can you still think this way? If that's the case, then I'm a female prince. Do I have to marry a princess? Huh? Aren't you the princess? Hahahaha"
She was still in the mood to joke, but Mu Shicang couldn't laugh. He could now especially understand the daily worry and anxiety of the Yang family's parents, but what he did was different from them.
Mu Shicang grabbed her hand and told her to stop laughing: "This matter can be big or small, and you have encountered it too. Someone in the Ji family doesn't want you to go back. Don't run around recently. I have someone follow you directly. Don't chase them away. Do you understand?"
Although she didn't like being followed, Yang Shushu also knew the seriousness of the matter. She nodded and said, "Alright, but we can't keep on guarding this matter. We have to make it clear. As long as they understand that I have no interest in the Ji family's things, isn't that enough?"
Mu Shicang smiled coldly: "You think too simply. You think so, but your biological parents don't think so. As far as I know, your biological father is determined to take over the Ji family and will stop at nothing."
Yang Shushu suddenly looked up at him and said, "You seem to know a lot about the Ji family? Do you know my so-called biological father?"
Mu Shicang was startled, but quickly composed himself, his eyes lit up with a smile: "How could they know each other? Our Jin and Ji families are located in the south and the north, so we do have some cooperation. Besides, we have many friends in the business world, so we can always hear from others."
Yang Shushu looked at him strangely for a while, but didn't think about it any further.
"I went home to live with my parents these past few days to comfort them. I could sense that even though I explained it clearly, he was still very uneasy inside."
"Okay, then I'll stay there after get off work tonight."
……………………
Mu Dingyuan and Mu Shilian sat face to face, both with heavy expressions. After a moment's silence, Mu Shilian spoke first, "Second Uncle, we can't let things continue like this. When Yang Shushu's identity is truly recognized by the Ji family, it will truly be a marriage between the Jin and Ji families. By then, Mu Shicang's position in Muyuan will be more stable. The old man's health is getting worse day by day, and I'm afraid Muyuan will completely fall into his hands."
Mu Dingyuan took out his cigar and placed it on the ashtray, looking very calm. "Why are you in such a hurry? You are so old and still so useless. Why don't you think about why Mu Shicang married Yang Shushu against all odds? I didn't think he liked that girl that much at the time. If he really liked her, he wouldn't have let her elope with someone else because she couldn't stay in the Mu family anymore."
A thought flashed across Mu Shilian's face, but he finally frowned: "I've thought about this, but I haven't found anything. What Uncle Second means is..."
"Heh... I've been looking in this direction recently, and I've found something."
