Seeing his granddaughter unhappy, Old Mr. Lin immediately changed his expression, "Haha, Grandpa won’t say it, won’t say it." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveI★Fire.net
At this time, the guards reported that the Mu Family had arrived.
Led by Old Mr. Lin, the whole family personally went out to greet them again.
Outside the gate, An Ran sat in the car, looking at the antique carved gate and the guard in a neat military uniform holding a submachine gun. After struggling internally for a day and dragging her numb body, An Ran, who had arrived at the Lin Family with a mindset of inevitable death, shivered once again.
Mu Xingfeng, in a dark gray suit, looked even taller and more upright. He was standing outside the car door, looking calmly at An Ran inside the car, waiting for her to get out.
An Ran wanted to stay in the car, but seeing Old Mr. Mu, Mu Zhenzong, and He Yushu already out of the car at the gate, and with a posture of waiting for her, she had no choice but to get out.
As she got out, the man naturally bent his arm, waiting on her side.
What? Did she still have to hold his arm to enter the Lin Family? Wouldn’t that lead to a quicker death?
Just as she was about to discuss with him, she saw the man lowering his eyes to look at her. In those deep eyes, a cold light flashed, and his thin lips slightly opened to soundlessly say, "Twenty million."
Instantly, An Ran felt refreshed and energetic, her back straightened up, and she cheerfully took Mu Xingfeng’s arm, even affectionately rubbing her shoulder against him, "Xingfeng, let’s go."
Seeing the sudden transformation of the girl, Mu Xingfeng secretly snorted. This brat, she just needed to be disciplined.
At this moment, the Lin Family, led by Old Mr. Lin, had come out to greet them.
"Old Man Lin, happy birthday," Old Mr. Mu said with a face full of smiles as soon as he saw Old Mr. Lin.
Old Mr. Lin saw the unfamiliar woman beside Mu Xingfeng and deliberately gave a cold humph, "If you really want to make me happy, don’t go back on your promise."
"Alright, old buddy, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. At our age, it’s time to enjoy life. Let the kids handle their own affairs." Old Mr. Mu chuckled, his eyes still showing a trace of appreciation when he saw Lin Ruonan in a rose-red dress, looking elegant and gracious beside Old Mr. Lin.
This girl, whether in appearance or her achievements in the military, was more than worthy to stand beside his grandson. However, his grandson never seemed interested. All these years, he never looked at her properly, or at any other woman. They almost began to suspect their grandson had a problem with his sexual orientation.
Finally, on this mission, his grandson took a bullet for this girl. They thought it was a sign of longing fulfilled, but unexpectedly, it turned out his grandson liked such a young girl. Really, it was a pity for this girl’s unrequited love.
Lin Ruonan, feeling Old Mr. Mu’s gaze, gracefully smiled, "Grandpa Mu, Uncle Mu, Aunt He, please come inside."
She made a gesture of invitation while concealing the dimness in her eyes.
She had been waiting all afternoon. When the guards reported, she saw that tall figure. No matter how many times she saw him, no matter how hurtful his words were, her heart could not help but follow him.
Twenty years of habit had conditioned her heart to follow him.
But when she saw the tenderness he showed to the girl, she knew that this man didn’t belong to her and never would. No matter how good or outstanding she was, that tenderness would never be for her.
