Chapter 30: Staying In the Chen Family
If Li Zhao stayed, it would not only disturb Pei Mingchen and Niannian’s private time.
Moreover, with his incessant chattering, Pei Mingchen felt that he would be annoyed to death.
Li Zhao was very unhappy. He looked for help at his sister-in-law, who was leaning against the kitchen.
Mu Qiannaina calmly averted her gaze and pretended not to see it.
Li Zhao was still a little unwilling to leave. He said with great effort, “I really know how to handle octopus. After eating the octopus that I made, no one has ever said that it’s not delicious.”
Pei Mingchen immediately felt that Li Zhao was annoying. He did not hesitate to count down the time.
.
“Three.”
“Two.”
One had not come out yet, but Li Zhao already resigned himself to his fate and retreated from the kitchen.
Li Zhao gave in helplessly and said, “I’ll go, I’ll go.”
When he reached the living room, Li Zhao said to Pei Mingchen, “There’s one more thing. I’ve found out another thing. The Doctor from the forensics department has left the city. I might need to make a trip overseas.”
Not only did the money go into the doctor’s bank account, but the doctor even left the city impatiently.
It was not simple…
Pei Mingchen nodded. “This matter is more important. Quickly find that doctor and bring her back secretly.”
Li Zhao nodded and Mu Qiannian sent her to the door.
After Mu Qiannian returned, she voiced her doubts. “I think that the doctor must have done something. Otherwise, why would she suddenly leave?”
Pei Mingchen nodded in agreement. “Actually, I just thought of this question. It seems that there might really be something fishy going on. Everything will be clear once we find that doctor.”
On the other side, the news of the new collaboration of the Mu Groups was suddenly announced by an official.
Mu Qiannian’s work content had also increased a lot.
When everyone was talking about the collaboration of the Mu Group, no one knew that Mu Qiannian beside them was the behind-the-scenes boss of the Mu Group.
There were all sorts of things that were said. Some were good, some were ugly, and some were even derogatory.
When Mu Qiannian heard those demeaning and disdainful words, she did not take them to heart.
She would use her actions to speak.
One day, Mu Qiannian and Pei Mingchen both got busy at the same time, which was a rare occurrence.
The two of them got along with each other, holding a computer in their hands and doing their own things in the living room.
Although they did not exchange a word, they would not feel lonely with someone accompanying them.
Suddenly, the phone rang, breaking the atmosphere between the two of them.
“Grandfather.”
When Mu Qiannian heard the word ‘grandfather’, she turned her head around. Pei Mingchen carefully turned on the loudspeaker, and Mu Qiannian moved closer to him.
“I heard that Mu Qiannian has been staying in a hotel all this time. Why has she been staying in a hotel all this time?”
A serious voice sounded. The two of them looked at each other tacitly and did not answer. Instead, they waited for Old Master Chen’s next sentence.
“If she can’t return to the Mu residence, then bring Mu Qiannian back to our home. There are so many rooms in the house and no one is staying in them. Bring her back with you.”
Pei Mingchen did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Mu Qiannian beside him.
Although Mu Qiannian was surprised, she quickly thought of the Chen family’s intention.
When she went to the Chen family’s gathering that day, she had pointed out that she had a relationship with the Su family.
Everyone in the world knew that the Su family was looking for their daughter. Mu Qiannian’s explanation was so ambiguous.
Bai Jin could not help but imagine many things. She felt that Mu Qiannian might be the missing Young Miss of the Su family, so she could not help but tell Old Master Chen and Chen Desheng about this matter.
Old Master Chen was shocked for a long time after he found out. In the end, the three of them decided to let Mu Qiannian stay in the Chen family as Pei Mingchen’s girlfriend.
In any case, Mu Qiannian was currently a homeless adopted daughter who had been kicked out of the Mu family.
If they were to take in the future daughter of the Su family because of this, President Su and Madam Su might thank them properly after they found out about it.
Mu Qiannian could not help but find it funny. If it were not because of her relationship with Pei Mingchen, she would have rejected them without hesitation.
Hence, Mu Qiannian nodded. Pei Mingchen’s eyes flashed with a hint of consideration.
However, in the end, he still said to Old Master Chen on the other end of the phone, “We will go back and live there tomorrow.”
Old Master Chen smiled and his voice became much more relaxed.
After hanging up on Old Master Chen, Mu Qiannian took the opportunity to lean on Pei Mingchen’s shoulder.
“If grandfather and the others find out that I’m not the daughter of the Su family, do you think they will chase us out again?”
Pei Mingchen frowned and said with certainty, “They will.”
Mu Qiannian could not help but laugh. She reached out to hold Pei Mingchen’s hand, and their fingers interlocked.
The next day, Mu Qiannian and Pei Mingchen arrived at the Chen family home.
This time, when the honk rang, the security guard at the door immediately opened the electronic gate.
Mu Qiannian looked out of the window. It was the same security guard from last time.
This time, it was so smooth. It seemed that he did not receive any special instructions.
After parking the car, the two of them came out of the garage and saw Bai Jin eagerly waiting at the door.
Bai Jin came up to them enthusiastically. “Your grandfather and I have been waiting for quite a while. Come in.”
Thinking back to last time, Bai Jin was not as friendly as she was last time, and she did not pick them up at the door.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They felt that it was extremely ironic.
When they entered the Chen family’s living room, Old Master Chen cheerfully waved at them.
“You’re here. Take a seat.”
The two of them greeted him politely. Old Master Chen asked kindly, “Have you eaten breakfast? If you haven’t, should we ask someone to make you some?”
Mu Qiannian nodded. “We’ve already eaten when we came. It’s no trouble.”
Old Master Chen took the initiative to change the topic. “I heard from Bai Jin that you’re the daughter of the Su family. This matter is not a joke.”
Mu Qiannian understood in her heart. After being polite for a while, she could not help but open her mouth to probe.
She smiled slightly and explained unhurriedly, “I haven’t acknowledged the Su family as my family, so I’m not their daughter yet.”
Old Master Chen and Bai Jin’s expressions froze.
Bai Jin frowned as she looked at Mu Qiannian. She seemed to be displeased, and her tone became much colder.
“Since you’re still not, were you bluffing me last time?”
Mu Qiannian shook her head innocently. “I was just telling the truth at that time. Perhaps Auntie’s imagination was too strong and misunderstood what I said.”
Bai Jin choked and immediately received Old Master Chen’s displeasure. She no longer spoke and admitted that she had been dumb.
At that time, Mu Qiannian was extremely proud. When she talked about his relationship with the Su family, she made it seemed as if the Su family was hers.
Perhaps it was this feeling that made Bai Jin boldly guess.
However, it turned out that it was not the case at all. The Su family did not even acknowledge her. There must be something else going on.
Old Master Chen, who was originally kind, turned serious again.
Bai Jin’s warm attitude had also undergone a 180-degree change.
“You too. Why did you say something that caused people to misunderstand? You made me think that you were already the daughter of the Su family.”
Mu Qiannian did not feel guilty at all. Instead, she replied bluntly, “I did not admit that I was. It was Auntie who misunderstood. It’s not my fault.”
