Chapter 687: Secret War
Song Ning could not help but feel sorry for Cheng Che. “Cheng Che, don’t be so anxious. Grandma has already said you’ll always be a member of the Mu family.”
“Cheng Che, calm down. Think about it. Don’t you think that things are very strange? Everything seems to be connected to you. I’m afraid that this matter isn’t simple.”
Cheng Che was usually smart and quick-witted. However, he was confused and worried about Jiahui now, making him a little slow. Nonetheless, his trust in Mu Chen was unparalleled. He asked, “I understand, Brother. There must be something wrong. Do you mean I have to play along with them?”
Mu Chen nodded slightly. “If we can’t see the entire situation clearly, then we might as well go with the flow and slowly unravel the problem bit by bit. One day, we’ll definitely obtain the answers we want.”
Cheng Che nodded as well. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll see what they want for now.”
Zhuang Ning asked Song Ning, “What are they talking about?”
Song Ning shook her head slightly. “Don’t worry about them.”
Song Ning did not need to understand these things. She and Cheng Che trusted Mu Chen. With Mu Chen and Jiang Jin around, nothing could go wrong. Jiahui was a lucky person; she would definitely be fine.

Before meeting his grandson, Old Master Yin met his future grandson-in-law first. He was very satisfied with the tall and handsome young man in front of him. Hence, he nodded at Yin Jia and said, “Not bad. You have a very good taste.”
Yin Jia smiled shyly upon hearing these words.
Old Master and Ye Cheng continued to chat. Whether it was in regard to business or life, Ye Cheng was very insightful, making Old Master Yin very happy.
At the same time. Old Madam Yin watched coldly from the side with a faint smile on her face. After a while, she waved her hand to call for a helper. When the helper came, she leaned forward and whispered a few words to the helper before the helper bowed and left.
Yin Jia was very alert, worried that Old Madam Yin would do something bad again. Her expression turned frosty immediately as she looked at the helper who had just left.
Old Madam Yin saw Yin Jia’s unkind gaze and hurriedly said, “Ah, I told her to bring out the good tea that our family brought over from S City. It’s much better than the tea here.”
Yin Jia said bluntly, “The tea we’re having here is the top-grade tea we brought from S City. Didn’t you drink the tea, Grandma?”
Old Madam Yin’s expression stiffened immediately. Then, she raised her teacup and took a sip before she said in embarrassment, “No wonder it tastes so familiar.”
Yin Jia sneered. “My mother is very well prepared. She took care of everyone’s preferences. She’s famous for being thoughtful and meticulous. It’s only natural that she’s also taken care of such a small thing like the tea we’re having.”
Old Madam Yin remained silent despite Yin Jia’s mocking words that put her down and praised Guan Ning. She knew it was not wise to refute those words at this moment. She inhaled deeply before she asked with a smile, “Guan Ning has always been like that. Speaking of which, you grew up by Guan Ning’s side so you must be just as meticulous and thoughtful as her. I’m just worrying unnecessarily.”
Yin Jia replied indifferently, “Yes, I’m a child without a mother. If it weren’t because Grandpa feel distressed for me, how could I have gotten to where I am today? Unfortunately, my pitiful younger brother wasn’t as lucky as I was.”
Old Master Yin and Ye Cheng who were chatting happily could sense there was something wrong with the atmosphere. When Old Master Yin saw that his granddaughter’s expression was not quite right, he hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? What are both of you chatting about?”
At this time, the helper brought a pot of tea over.
Old Madam Yin seized the chance and said with a smile, “I asked someone to brew a new pot of tea. Try it. It’s the Mao Jian tea I brought from home.”
Old Master Yin reached out for a cup of tea. After taking a sip, he said, “It’s not bad. It’s the kind we’re used to drinking at home. Ye Cheng, try the tea as well. Do young people not like tea? My granddaughter drinks coffee every day.”
