Chapter 522 Grandpa Mu wants to find his adopted daughter?
The Mu family has always had a single lineage, with each generation consisting of a son!
When it came to Grandpa Mu's generation, the couple wanted to have a daughter, but Grandma Mu was in poor health, and Grandpa Mu couldn't bear to see her go through another brush with death. So the two of them decided to adopt a daughter!
When Mu Zhenxuan was eight years old, the Mu family adopted a girl from an orphanage and named her Mu Tingting!
Mu Tingting was only one year old at the time, and had already lived in the orphanage for more than half a year. When she came, she had nothing on her, except for a piece of paper with her birth date and time!
Grandpa Mu and Grandma Mu felt sorry for her because she was so young and had suffered so much. After adopting her, they took her home and cared for her as if she were their own daughter!
Mu Zhenxuan also took great care of her.
Time flies, and with the love and care of her family, Mu Tingting grew up into a cheerful and beautiful girl!
The family was originally very loving!
However, at Mu Tingting's eighteenth birthday party, he got drunk and, in front of all the guests, said that he liked Mu Zhenxuan and that he was determined to marry her in this life!
She spoke the truth while drunk, disregarding all the consequences!
Afterwards, rumors spread like wildfire, and people in the circle were all mocking the Mu siblings for 'incest'!
Even though they knew they were not related by blood, the mockery only intensified!
Their laughter was like a vast ocean formed from each person's spittle, threatening to engulf the Mu family!
The Mu family was embroiled in public opinion, which caused setbacks in their business as well. Old Master Mu was very troubled. After discussing it with his family, they decided to send Mu Tingting abroad to study. Separating the two temporarily would help them avoid danger!
After talking with Mu Zhenxuan, Mu Tingting learned that he only regarded her as a younger sister and had no romantic feelings for her!
Mu Tingting was heartbroken and left the country overnight, which resulted in her having very little contact with her family!
Grandpa Mu thought that she was probably still angry. Once she calmed down, the family could be reunited after she returned home for the New Year!
Who knew...
Mu Zhenxuan and Cheng Shu quickly fell in love and soon decided to get married.
Just before their wedding, Mu Tingting returned home. Everyone thought she had calmed down, and the family was quite happy.
Who knew that she would repeatedly plot, frame, and slander Cheng Shu, always trying to break them up!
Of course, her scheme failed!
In the end, Mu Zhenxuan and Cheng Shu walked down the aisle. Mu Tingting was so jealous that she went crazy. At the cruise ship wedding, she took Cheng Shu hostage and the two of them jumped into the water. She wanted to gamble on who Mu Zhenxuan would save first.
As expected, Mu Zhenxuan rescued Cheng Shu first, but when he went to find her again, she had disappeared into the sea...
They had always believed that Mu Tingting had drowned in the sea...
After finishing his story, Grandpa Mu sighed deeply.
"That's what happened... All these years, she hasn't died, but she hasn't come home. It seems she still hates us..."
Song Chi's eyes widened after hearing his grandfather's explanation.
"Grandpa, my God... such a thing can't be true..."
No wonder, when she heard her mother-in-law say "Tingting is not dead", she glared at her father-in-law and said, "It's all his doing!"
It seems this is just a bad romantic encounter for him!
Cheng Shu pouted.
Mu Yin rubbed his forehead. This was the first time he had heard about this, and he found it rather melodramatic!
Mu Zhenxuan sighed deeply.
My feelings for this adopted younger sister have gone from initial fondness to utter disgust!
"Dad, so many years have passed, so stop thinking about her. She's no longer the innocent girl she used to be; she's become a vicious, heartless woman!"
This time, she suddenly came back and is hiding among us. I wonder what mischief she's plotting!
"A-Yin, daughter-in-law, you must recognize her appearance. If you encounter her in the future, stay far away and be careful of her!"
In those years, he and Cheng Shu were deeply in love, but Mu Tingting secretly sabotaged them, almost causing them to be separated!
Looking back, she almost hurt Cheng Shu many times, and Mu Zhenxuan also hated Mu Tingting!
As Mu Zhenxuan spoke, he took a screenshot of the surveillance video and showed it to Song Chi and his wife, giving them repeated instructions.
Song Chi and Mu Yin exchanged a glance.
Grandpa Mu: "Zhenxuan, don't say that about her. As the saying goes, it's the father's fault if the son is not taught properly!"
It's all my fault that she's become like this. It was my wrong decision back then that caused her to become increasingly aggressive!
"dad……"
Seeing the regret on Old Master Mu's face, Mu Zhenxuan felt a headache coming on.
He held his hand and spoke earnestly.
"Dad, you're not feeling well right now. The doctor said you need to rest and recuperate. Don't worry about these things."
Old Master Mu gave a wry smile: "Zhenxuan, I know my own body!"
Upon hearing this, the family looked at each other for a moment in bewilderment.
Song Chi was astonished: "Grandpa, you know about your illness?"
Grandpa Mu nodded.
"Dad, you knew all this, why didn't you tell us!"
"I have terminal cancer, there's no cure anyway, telling you will only cause you trouble!"
When faced with life and death, Old Master Mu was completely indifferent.
"grandfather……"
Song Chi and Mu Yin were reluctant to let him go.
Song Chi's eyes were red and swollen.
Mu Yin's voice was also choked with emotion.
"It's alright, Ah Yin, granddaughter-in-law, don't be sad. I've lived to such an old age and have such filial children. I've really been blessed in this life."
However, I've always had a wish in my heart, and before I die, I want to complete it..."
Grandpa Mu looked at Mu Zhenxuan.
"Zhenxuan, go and find Tingting, okay?"
This was his only wish!
Mu Zhenxuan said angrily, "Dad, she's a troublemaker. If you bring her back, things won't be peaceful at home!"
"Zhenxuan, don't say that about her. She's kind-hearted by nature; she just lacks guidance. As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it."
"Bring her back, and I'll have a good talk with her. Maybe we can resolve her hatred towards us and avert disaster!"
Mu Zhenxuan: "..."
He pursed his lips and remained silent.
Song Chi and Mu Yin looked at each other in bewilderment.
After all, this is a matter for the elders, and it seems inappropriate for them, as the younger generation, to get involved!
Cheng Shu, who had been silent all along, sighed.
"Old Mu, Dad's health isn't good, so please do as he says!"
Mu Zhenxuan was surprised: "Xiao Shu, I'm afraid she'll come back and hurt you again."
Cheng Shu smiled and said, "We're all so old now, and after all these years, what grudges or resentments can't be resolved?"
Let's bring her back, lay everything out on the table, and maybe everything will fade away...
Seeing her insistence, Mu Zhenxuan turned his gaze to Old Master Mu, whose weathered face was filled with expectation.
For a moment, he felt a pang of reluctance.
He then looked at Mu Yin and Song Chi, his gaze seemingly seeking their opinions.
The two exchanged a glance.
Mu Yin said, "Dad, let's do as Grandpa says!"
Mu Zhenxuan sighed deeply: "Dad, I promise you, I will go find her. However, you must also promise me that you will cooperate with the treatment while you are in the hospital!"
Grandpa Mu smiled with great emotion.
"Okay, okay, I'll cooperate, I'll definitely cooperate..."
He was old and ill, and after all that trouble, his face was exhausted. Before long, he fell asleep.
Song Chi and Cheng Shu stayed behind to take care of him.
Mu Zhenxuan and Mu Yin went to find a doctor, and on the way, the father and son discussed the matter.
"Dad, I'll use my connections to find Auntie. We should have news soon!"
Mu Zhenxuan snorted coldly.
"You need to find her. She was secretly near your grandfather, causing him to become emotional and fall. I don't know what she's up to. After you find her, don't disturb your grandfather."
Lock her up first, let me interrogate her properly..."
