Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018: Yuan, Mommy Is Sorry [2]

Faced with Mu Jingheng’s eyes that seemed to see through everything, Ning Zitong hurriedly averted her gaze and then walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window, fidgeting with her fingers.

"What should I be telling you?"

"You know it in your heart."

"I don’t understand."

Ning Zitong feigned ignorance, her heartbeat slightly speeding up.

Mu Jingheng looked at her back, at her fingers always tightly clenching due to nervousness from lying, and he softly withdrew his gaze.

"Our granddaughter hasn’t been found yet, but there are clues. You don’t need to worry."

Ning Zitong was startled at these words and immediately turned around, urgently walking to Mu Jingheng.

"What clues?"

Mu Jingheng looked at Ning Zitong’s face full of worry and tension, and sighed lightly.

"Ah Tong, you have already admitted that Xinxin is Yuan."

"..."

Ning Zitong’s face turned pale at his words, she retreated two steps, then pulled at the corner of her lips as if in mockery.

"Ah Jing, what are you saying? When did I admit that Yan Xinxin is Yuan? Our Yuan is clearly chatting with Shaoqian in the downstairs living room..."

"Do you still insist that the one downstairs is indeed our Yuan?"

"..."

Listening to Mu Jingheng’s questioning words, Ning Zitong’s face grew paler, her fingers tightened even harder in despair.

"She is indeed Yuan! If she wasn’t Yuan, how would she know everything about our family? How would she know all about Yuan’s childhood?"

Ning Zitong emphasized strongly, although her voice was loud, she felt uncertain inside.

Because she already sensed it.

The one downstairs was not a piece of flesh that she, Ning Zitong, had borne! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Hmph, indeed."

Mu Jingheng let out a cold laugh.

"Ah Tong, you really should think about it carefully, besides Qianyuan, who else could know everything about our family?"

After saying that, he picked up his pajamas and turned to enter the bathroom.

Ning Zitong watched Mu Jingheng’s decisive back, frustration evident in it.

She knew well.

Not only did she hurt the person she cherished most since childhood, but also the man who had always adored her.

Ning Zitong’s legs weakened, and she collapsed on the bed, her hands clenched tightly.

"Yuan, mother is sorry for you..."

☆

Two days had passed.

Mu Qianshui found an excuse to go out and was currently happily having afternoon tea with Gu Jianling at an outdoor café.

She extended her hand to present her phone, opening the electronic document.

"Dad, look, I got hold of all Mu Jingheng’s shares. Now the highest decision-maker and chairman of Mu Group is all you!"

Mu Qianshui was radiant with pleasure.

"I used to think my adoptive father was so smart, in the end, didn’t he still get played around by me!? Hmph, he used to insist that Yan Xinxin is Mu Qianyuan, but now when he sees me, every day it’s Yuan this, Yuan that, afraid I’ll leave the Mu family!"

Gu Jianling admired Mu Qianshui’s trophy with satisfaction, the corners of his lips curled.

"Now Mu Jingheng is nothing at Mu Group. I now own seventy-three point six percent of Mu Group shares. Those old guys holding scattered shares are not a threat anymore. When the time comes, whatever I say goes!"

Gu Jianling took a puff of his cigarette, finally revealing a cunning smile on his face.

"Next, as long as I get Mo Chuxi’s shares, I can directly control the vast transnational empire of Di Jue. Then Imperial City will no longer have a Crown Prince of Di Jue, but it will be our world, the Gu family’s world!"

He said, reaching out to hold Mu Qianshui’s hand.

"Qianshui, your revenge will soon be realized! At that time, you’ll start a new life under the name of Gu Jianling as my eldest daughter! Whatever Yan Xinxin or Mu Qianyuan, Dad will make them disappear completely!"

A person sitting at the neighboring table heard these words and was completely shocked, at a loss for words!
