“Xiaoxuan, are you saying…you’re going to buy me a lighter? No, no, no, does this mean you like me? Is this true?” he asked eagerly, his heart beating with anticipation.

Dong Xiaoxuan raised her chin proudly, “It’s you who likes me, so I think I will be reluctant to like you back!

The next day, the Han family went out to the Mu family.

It is breakfast time. Mu Tianzheng, who does not know Han Shi's true identity as a member of the Han family, is having a peaceful meal with Han Dazhu's family.

"What is going on?" Mu Tianzheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Cang in confusion.

"Old Mu, I'm here to thank my relatives. I told you many years ago that a branch of our Han family has been lost..." Han Cang started, and soon Mu Tianzheng understood. He turned around in shock and looked at Han Dazhu and his family.

Only Han Dazhu, Han Shi, Luo Xiujuan, and Qin Xi knew about this. The rest of the Han family was still in the dark, looking at their father/grandfather in confusion.

"Brother Han, is what he said true?" Mu Tianzheng asked Han Dazhu in surprise.

Han Dazhu replied somewhat shyly: “Yes, that’s what Xi said.

Mu Tianzheng then turned to Qin Xi for confirmation.

Qin Xi swallowed his saliva and said, “Grandpa, there is no need to hide it. Grandpa and Elder Han are indeed blood relatives. We discovered this last year. The reason why we didn’t recognize each other is simple-we were worried that the Han family was rich and would not recognize Shi Tou. But it turns out that Elder Han is not that kind of person, so Shi Tou and I are relieved.

Han Cang sighed deeply and said, "Old Mu, it was my negligence. I should have realized this a few years ago. If someone hadn't deliberately prevented me from finding Han Shi, our family would have been reunited long ago.

"Are you referring to them?" Mu Tianzheng asked, pointing at the family's illegitimate children.

Han Cang was angry and guilty. "These lunatics not only harmed Guohua, but also the baby in Xiujuan's belly. What's worse is that they don't know how to repent. Last year, they even found Xi and caused trouble for her. Xi didn't agree, so they wanted to smash Xi's store. This is my fault. If I were smarter, Guohua wouldn't..."

He covered his face with his hands, choked up, and could not continue.

Han Shuangshuang thought that her grandfather had brought her family to the Mu family because she had caused trouble at the banquet the day before, hoping that she would apologize. But what she heard was like a bolt from the blue.

The person she wants to harm is her own cousin?

If her grandfather knew, wouldn't he skin her alive?

"Well, it's all in the past. Some things are destined by God. Since it's in the past, let's let it go. We agree to recognize our ancestors, but..."

Han Dazhu saw Han Cang's lips trembling with excitement. He changed the subject and said, "However, we will only recognize our ancestors and will not live in the capital. Don't ask us to stay. This is my biggest concession. As for the other children, you can ask them if they want to stay. If they want to stay, I have no objection. I have reached this age. I don't want to leave my hometown, my wife, or my son and grandson.

Hearing this, Han Cang didn't know what to say. But Han Dazhu was willing to acknowledge his ancestor and fulfill the wish of their late grandfather.

Moreover, Han Dazhu also said that if the young people want to stay in the capital, he will not stop them. Therefore, he can’t wait to look at Han Shi and other Han family members.

Han Shi pretended not to see it and continued to pick fish bones for Qin Xi. He was so serious, as if he was discussing a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Han Shuangshuang looked at him with disdain.

Especially when she saw the couple so loving, she felt inexplicably envious.

As if he had noticed her gaze, Qin Xi raised his eyelids and stared at her coldly. An invisible pressure instantly pressed on her, and Han Shuangshuang was so scared that she quickly lowered her head and dared not look again.

"Brother, should we choose an auspicious day? Our Han family must hold a grand banquet to celebrate this reunion!

Han Dazhu immediately interrupted Han Cang's suggestion and said calmly: "Don't bother so much. The banquet is unnecessary. We need to go home in a few days; there is a lot of business to deal with, and I can't sit back and relax without supervision.

Han Cang was somewhat displeased, but he agreed. After all, the kinship was acknowledged and his mission was accomplished. He would take the time to deepen these newly rekindled relationships.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I must apologize for..."

His expression suddenly became serious, and he looked at Han Shuangshuang with a firm tone, "Come here and apologize. Just because Grandpa Mu didn't pursue what happened yesterday doesn't mean I won't. Tell me what you did, and don't let me embarrass you in front of everyone.

Han Shuangshuang's face turned pale. She thought her grandfather's visit was just to thank his long-lost family. She didn't expect to have to face all this.

She bit her lower lip indignantly and secretly glanced at the indifferent Moody. She felt even more aggrieved and her tears were about to overflow.

"Say something."

Seeing her silent and about to cry, Han Cang flew into a rage. He glared at her angrily. "I have always spoiled you so much that you can't tell right from wrong. After this incident, your marriage with Yufeng should be put on the agenda.

Han Shuangshuang suddenly raised her head and looked at Grandpa in disbelief. She shouted anxiously: "Grandpa, you know I don't like him. Why do you still want me to marry someone I don't like?

Zhao Yufeng was engaged to Han Shuangshuang when she was young. When Han Cang's father was alive, he owed the Zhao family a favor. Therefore, the Zhao family wanted Zhao Yufeng to marry Han Shuangshuang.

Han Cang knew that the children of the Zhao family did not really like Han Shuangshuang. On the contrary, he wanted to use the Han family to climb up. After all, although the Han family is not a legend in the business world, it is also a giant. If he can get along well with them, it will be of great help to the future development of the Zhao family.

However, in this case, they can only sacrifice Han Shuangshuang. Originally, Han Jiafeng and his wife did not agree to marry their daughter to this man, but the Zhao family shamelessly revealed this matter. If they disagree, you can imagine how serious the consequences will be for the reputation of the Han family. People will also say that the Han family broke their promise...

Fortunately, Han Shuangshuang is not yet of marriageable age. However, she will grow up one day. She is about to turn 23 years old. The Zhao family has visited the Han family many times. It is difficult for the Han family to continue to refuse them.

It was precisely because of this that Han Shuangshuang was used by Mu Yali. She thought that after she was with Mu Di, the Han family and the Zhao family would be powerless against her, and the matter would be resolved.

However, rather than resolving the issue, the plan threatens to drag the Mu family into controversy. Since Mu Sheng and Mu Wen hold government positions, any scandal could attract those waiting to exploit the Mu family’s weaknesses.

Sadly, Mu Yali and Han Shuangshuang were so consumed by their plot against Qin Xi that they did not consider these consequences.

"There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Apologize immediately! Han Cang insisted, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

Han Shuangshuang clenched her teeth, feeling as if her heart was being squeezed, and tears flowed like raindrops. She shook her head frantically, pointed at Qin Xi and yelled, "It's all your fault! No wonder Yali called you a troublemaker. There will be no benefit in dating you!"

With a "bang", Han Cang hit Han Shuangshuang hard on the face, causing her to stagger to the ground in a daze with tinnitus.

"How dare you blame others when it was your own ill will that caused this," he scolded.

"Then he turned his anger to Han Jiafeng, "Look at your spoiled daughter! She never behaves decently for a day! Can't she understand even the most basic principles, or is she just brainless? And you, always busy with the company, set a bad example! If you dare to indulge her again, see how I will deal with you!"

Han Jiafeng felt that he was wronged. Usually, Han Cang was the one who doted on Shuangshuang the most. Although he tried to stop it, he was now being blamed...

Mu Tianzheng witnessed Han Cang's outburst and didn't want to embarrass him anymore, so he suggested: "Okay, let's not discuss your family affairs here. No need to apologize. After all, Yali was wrong in the first place. Let's leave it at that. It's my family's meal time now.

The intention of asking the Han family to leave was too obvious.

Han Cang was not worried that Mu Tianzheng would really be angry. After all, their families were now closely connected. Moreover, they were not so petty. As for what the younger generation would do, he didn’t have to worry about it.

...

In another villa, a young and elegant man listened to the report with a scornful smile on his face, "Marriage? What does it matter if she gets married? If something happens to Mu Yali, don't you think Mu Wen will not hold a grudge against Mu Tianzheng?"

His subordinate nodded, "Of course. I heard that this incident has caused internal strife in the Mu family, and Mu Wen and Mu Min are not on good terms.

“Humph, that’s not enough. I’m going to throw the entire Mu family into chaos,” the young man roared, looking out the window, his eyes filled with endless hatred.

“Qin Xi, no, it’s Chu Qinxi!”

"Yeah, I heard she's pregnant, right?"

"Yes, Master."

"Find a way to make her lose the baby. Whether it's a car accident or a fall, let the Mu family see blood. Then pin it on Yali. I want to see Mu Wen and Mu Min at each other's throats!"

"Master, you are very smart. I will go now!

After the subordinates left, the young man picked up the family photo on the table and looked at it for a long time. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he smiled viciously. "Dad, elders, don't worry. I, Su Mingzhe, will definitely avenge you!

...

Mu Yali was locked up in a villa and guarded by fifteen male and female bodyguards.

The sound of broken porcelain echoed, and she screamed angrily, "Why am I locked up? Let me out! I hate you, I hate all of you..."

“I’m going to kill you, Qin Xi, you bad guy! I swear, once I get out, you’ll pay the price! Yali cursed and roared, throwing things around the room frantically, looking completely insane.

She lay exhausted on the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks. Thinking of her precious days in the Mu family, her heart ached even more.

Suddenly, an arrow thumped into the wall, startling her. She initially thought someone was trying to kill her, but then noticed something tied to the tail of the arrow and approached it cautiously.

It was a piece of cloth that said, "Want to get out? I can help you.

Mu Yali quickly climbed to the window, frantically and eagerly searching for the source, nodding in agreement.

At this moment, another arrow flew over from nowhere. Mu Yali was startled, but when she saw a piece of cloth tied on it and a small cloth bag under the cloth, she immediately took it off excitedly.

"Knockout powder, one sniff and they're down!"

Mu Yali immediately understood what the other party meant. She suppressed her excitement and thought about her escape route.

After lunch, Mu Yali raised her chin arrogantly and said to one of the bodyguards, "Go and call all the bodyguards in. Remember, this is all the people. No one can be left behind.

The bodyguards exchanged puzzled looks but obeyed Mu Yali's orders.

A minute later, all 15 bodyguards stood in front of her. Mu Yali stood up contentedly and asked them to stand in a circle.

Although the bodyguards were puzzled, they still stood in a circle around her and watched what she would do next.

"I know you're having a hard time because of me. So, to say thank you, I learned a little magic trick to show you. Now pay close attention!
