Hearing footsteps, Lu Yong Chun immediately put down the newspaper in her hands, stood up and walked forward, her beautiful face blossoming into a smile, her voice as pleasant as usual: "Mu Chen, Zhang Xiao, you're finally back." She specifically emphasized the word "finally".
Even if Ning Zhi Yuan was in the hall, that fellow had been standing right in front of the window since the moment he entered, looking like a statue. He did not make a sound, and was extremely bored, as if he was just air.
Servants of the Mu Family, had always been afraid of serving Ning Ice Mountain, with Ning Ice Mountain present, who would dare to run out and crash into an ice mountain?
Even Zhao Zi Ru and her wife, who were sitting next door, only came over to take a look. When Ning Zhi Yuan saw them, she just coldly greeted them without saying anything else.
Who would want to talk to such a dull and cold man?
Thus, when Zhao Zi Ru and her wife saw that their young son had not come back yet, they politely chatted with Lu Yong Chun for a while before they hurriedly went back to hiding in Mu Yi's territory.
Look, Ning Zhi Yuan is so cold, so boring, that even the elders have to walk around the floor when they see him.
Lu Yong Chun glanced at large iceberg who was still standing motionlessly in front of the window and silently cursed in her heart: She doesn't even know which tendons were in the wrong for being brothers with this kind of man for more than ten years.
"Mu Ya, come here, let me carry you." Seeing the beautiful and cute little Mu Ya, Lu Yong Chun walked over and reached out to hug her.
Mu Ya's hands reached over. She twisted her body and used her little hands to embrace Zhang Xiao's neck, throwing him behind as she looked down at him. Lu Yong Chun pinched her earlobes laughing and said, "Mu Ya, you despise Auntie."
Zhang Xiao carried Mu Ya to wash her hands, while Lu Yong Chun followed, "Mu Ya is hungry."
A servant had already brought the cooked porridge for Mu Ya, but after Zhang Xiao washed her hands, she brought Mu Ya into the dining hall to eat the porridge.
After she returned to the Mu Family, it was as if she was at home. With regards to the ice mountain in front of the window, she only took a glance at it and placed Mu Ya as her priority, and decided to feed him until she was full.
Mu Chen walked to Ning Zhi Yuan's side and called out gently: "Zhi Yuan."
Ning Zhi Yuan turned his head to look at him, his eyes as cold as ever. With just a single glance, Ning Zhi Yuan's gaze met the potted flowers that filled the courtyard once again. His lips that were as tight as a clam's moved as he squeezed out a few cold words: "You gave those flowers to Zhang Xiao?"
Mu Chen honestly admitted it, "I gave it to you."
Ning Zhi Yuan was quiet again.
"Zhi Yuan, I haven't told Zhang Xiao yet." Mu Chen lowered his voice and said, "Can we talk about it in my study?" Even if Zhang Xiao was feeding Mu Ya in the cafeteria, they were still on the same floor. Zhang Xiao's ears were always sharp, and Mu Chen was worried that he would hear his conversation with Ning Zhi Yuan.
Ning Zhi Yuan turned his head again and used an ice-cold gaze to look at Mu Chen, digging out the bottom of Mu Chen's concern for him.
"The 6: 40 P. M. ticket."
Ning Zhi Yuan suddenly squeezed out.
Mu Chen raised his sharp eyebrows, "You want to go to Canada?"
"I have to go personally." Even if he had confirmed that Zhang Xiao's mother was the one she was looking for, he still had to fly to the Canada and see an identical photo.
"Are you planning to bring Zhang Xiao along?"
Ning Zhi Yuan's gaze then drifted towards the dining hall, but he shook his head: "I do not plan to bring her there right now. At the moment, I'm not going to let her know."
"Why?"
Mu Chen thought that Ning Zhi Yuan couldn't wait to meet Zhang Xiao.
Ning Zhi Yuan's phoenix eyes flashed."Zhang Family has a problem."
Mu Chen squinted his eyes, and quickly understood the intention of Ning Zhi Yuan not recognizing him for the time being.
When Yi Xue found Ning Zhi Yuan, she wanted to introduce him to Ning Zhi Yuan. On the surface, it seemed to be a good marriage, but in reality, she wanted to use Ning Zhi Yuan's power to kill Zhang Xiao. Yi Xue and Zhang Xiao did not have any conflicts of interest, she did not have that kind of thought. The person who had such thoughts was Ling Hong Yu who was hiding behind Yi Xue.
If Ling Hong Yu wanted to put Zhang Xiao to death, she would need to borrow another person's blade to kill.
The goal should be to let her son monopolize all of Zhang Family's property. Although Zhang Xiao did not want to make Zhang Hao Tian happy, she was still her biological daughter after all. Ling Hong Yu was definitely worried that Zhang Xiao's existence would cause them to part with the family property. It could also be possible that Zhang Hao Tian had secretly told Ling Hong Yu about something that caused that woman to think about getting rid of him.
If Ling Hong Yu found out that Zhang Xiao and Ning Zhi Yuan were blood related cousins, Ling Hong Yu would be slightly fearful. It would not be so easy to uncover Ling Hong Yu's wolfish ambitions.
The two of them did not recognize each other for the time being. Ling Hong Yu did not know about this floor, and would definitely do something to Zhang Xiao in order to compete for the family property. Ning Zhi Yuan had always been a sister-con. He would secretly watch, and when Ling Hong Yu took action, he would catch him.
He was not helping Zhang Hao Tian to clean up the mess, he was helping his aunt who had passed away to seek justice.
If it wasn't for Ling Hong Yu forcing him to divorce her, Wen Li might not have left the country. Even if she did, it wouldn't have been on that day that Ling Hong Yu encountered an aerial disaster.
What Ning Zhi Yuan wanted was for Ling Hong Yu to be punished by the law, even if Zhang Hao Tian loved Ling Hong Yu a lot, once Ning Zhi Yuan finds out about the evidence to harm others, no matter how much Zhang Hao Tian favored him, he could only watch as Ling Hong Yu fell into her trap and receive punishment. Of course it was also to let Zhang Hao Tian see how "magnanimous" the person he doted on, the daughter of his ex-wife, was!
Ning Zhi Yuan did not care whether he would regret or not.
He only cared about asking for justice for Wen Li, and only wanted to seek justice for Zhang Xiao.
Until today, Zhang Xiao must have experienced countless grievances. Just the loss in front of the Twenty-Two and that incident that was picked up by Mu Chen made Ning Zhi Yuan feel like there was something fishy!
He suspected that Ling Hong Yu was the one who did this, and deliberately brought Zhang Xiao outside, then left and created the false impression that Zhang Xiao had lost the both of them.
That woman! Very vicious!
"Mu Chen, help me hide it." Ning Zhi Yuan pleaded softly before smiling bitterly, "Actually, it was all because of you, you didn't want Zhang Xiao to know about this too quickly right?"
In front of this good friend and brother-in-law, Mu Chen knew that there were some things he could not hide, so he forced a smile and said: "When Wen Luo came to find her, she had already started crying. Even so, she was still very happy. She felt that her mother's family still remembered her and even treated her as their niece, representing that she still had relatives. The people from Zhang Family would definitely be ruthless to her, and in her heart, only her mother's family was family. If she were to know the truth now, she would fall from the heavens into hell and endure the torture of pain. Therefore, I wanted to tell her after Wen Luo has left, at least she wouldn't need to face the people from Wen Family to calm down."
