"You can’t, but Mu Tianyu can. Aren’t you Mu Tianyu’s grandson? As long as you ask him, he will definitely agree to help you."
"Mrs. Jiang, are you out of your mind? What are you to me, why should I help you?" Mu Qiancheng was speechless, looking at Ming Lan. He thought to himself, is this woman crazy? Who does she think she is, asking him to help her and even go plead with Mr. Mu, what a big face she has.
Not to mention how she treated him before, how she treated Jiang Xue’s parents, just the fact that she once conspired with others to harm Jiang Xue’s parents, he wouldn’t forgive her for that, so how could he possibly plead for her?
"I, I?" Ming Lan opened her mouth, and then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, saying: "I’m Jiang Xue’s aunt."
"A fine aunt indeed. If Xue’er knew that you were the murderer of her parents, do you think she would see you as her aunt or as an enemy?"
"You, how do you know?" Ming Lan was shocked, staring blankly at Mu Qiancheng. Even Old Sir Jiang didn’t know about this, so how did Mu Qiancheng know?
Indeed, it was true that she had Jiang Xue’s parents killed. The Jiang Family had a family rule that the first child born in each generation would inherit the entire family’s business.
At that time, Jiang Xue’s mother, being the eldest sister-in-law, was pregnant before her. To ensure her own child became the firstborn of this generation in the Jiang Family, she had people kill Jiang Xue’s parents.
However, she didn’t expect things to go awry, resulting in Jiang Xue’s mother escaping and then giving birth to Jiang Xue.
"If you don’t want people to know, don’t do it," Mu Qiancheng coldly uttered these words, then ignored Ming Lan and walked straight inside. Thɪs chapter is updated by novèlfire.net
Ming Lan stood there dazed, taking a long time to come to her senses before leaving in a trance.
Mu Qiancheng returned to the office and picked up an application form, quickly reading through it. These were all applications for the special task force.
After reviewing them, he had to conduct a three-month assessment. Only those who passed would qualify to join the task force and become a member.
The assessment was already scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and the location wasn’t in the city but about a hundred kilometers away in the mountains.
So, Mu Qiancheng planned to tell Jiang Xue about it when he went home tonight, to prevent her from worrying if he didn’t come back or couldn’t be contacted.
When it was time to leave work, Mu Qiancheng went straight home. He had told Jiang Xue earlier that he would be home these few nights, so she had specifically made an extra portion of food.
After dinner, Little Reunion was taken away by Mrs. Jiang and Father Jiang, leaving only the couple at home. Mu Qiancheng told Jiang Xue about leaving for three months.
Jiang Xue didn’t ask much about what Mu Qiancheng was going to do. However, she did share her plans to buy a bicycle and install a phone with him.
When Mu Qiancheng heard that Jiang Xue wanted to install a phone, he thought for a moment and said: "Xue’er, I think it’s better not to install a phone. Now that there are mobile phones, why not buy a mobile phone? You can carry it with you and receive calls anytime."
Jiang Xue thought about it and felt that this was a good idea. Installing a phone would be more troublesome and expensive.
Thus, the decision to buy a bicycle and a mobile phone was made, but Mu Qiancheng felt a bit regretful that he had no time to accompany Jiang Xue.
