When Tan Xinhan got home, she told her family that Su Muxue had received a gift from Old Master Tan.

Mrs. Tan, Chang Jing, could not figure out what connection Old Master Tan had with Su Muxue.

She pulled Tan Xinhan and said, “Tell Mom everything that happened today.”

After hearing Tan Xinhan’s words, Chang Jing still couldn’t find anything wrong. She made up her mind. “Come with Mom to your cousin Muxue’s house this weekend. I don’t believe we won’t find anything!”

When Old Master Tan was young, he traveled extensively and saved people’s lives. He had also resold medicinal herbs before. When he was middle-aged, he managed to build a large family business that was ranked among the top in Linqing City.

He had four sons and one daughter. He wanted to nurture one of them to inherit his legacy and continue to treat patients and save lives, but his children were just coveting his assets.

Tan Xu had no choice but to look for suitable successors among his grandchildren. Indeed, he had nurtured a few, but it was still unknown who would be able to learn all his skills.

However, Tan Xu had already thought it through. His children and grandchildren had their own blessings. No matter how much fuss his children kicked up, it was fine as long as it did not affect him. Thankfully, his wife had gone early and would not see their children being so useless. Otherwise, she would not have such a calm state of mind.

As for his good impression of Su Muxue, Tan Xu felt that it was fate. It was as if God had given him a task before he left.

He needed to take care of that child. He needed to take care of her better than his own children.

Furthermore, he liked that child very much. Nowadays, there are not many children left with clear and bright eyes like hers.

After receiving Old Master Tan’s gift, Su Muxue felt a bit strange. She looked at Yan Zhao in confusion. “Did you tell him something when I was asleep yesterday?”

Isn’t she the one that’s more suspicious? Yan Zhao thought.

But he hid his thoughts at the right time. He knew that if he brought this up again, she would definitely get angrier.

“No.” Yan Zhao took out the things he’d bought. “Come and eat first.”

While Su Muxue was thinking about Old Master Tan, the chopsticks were already in her hand and she even had a mouthful of soup dumplings.

The dumplings were very delicious. She didn’t want to put it down after eating it, so she could only stare fiercely at Yan Zhao. “You went too far yesterday. It’s not something that can be solved with just breakfast!”

“Okay.”

Yan Zhao opened the bowl of porridge for her without any temper. There was no trace of his aggression from yesterday.

Su Muxue cursed in her heart. Has he changed his personality?

Little did she know what Yan Zhao was thinking—- he wanted to search for more evidence by her side!

When she got back to Forest Park, someone was waiting for Su Muxue at the door.

“Hello, Miss Su. My name is Mo Qing. I’m the bodyguard your father got for you.”

They had short, neat hair, tight pants, and a leather jacket that made it easy for them to move. Their eyes, which were firmly looking straight ahead, revealed a message to Su Muxue: this person could hold a fight very well!

Mo Qing looked at Yan Zhao. “This is?”

“Yan Zhao.” Yan Zhao said his name coldly, nodded at Su Muxue, and went back to the opposite side.

Mo Qing deliberated over her words and said, “I remember Mr. Su said that Yan Zhao has already moved out of the Su Family villa. So, what’s this?”

Seeing that Su Yuanwei trusted Mo Qing so much that he even told her such a thing, Su Muxue didn’t hide it from her. “Yes, he did move out, but my father’s secretary must have made a mistake during that time, so he arranged for him to live opposite me.”

Mo Qing said with a serious expression, “Forgive me for being blunt, but you should tell Mr. Su about this as soon as possible.”

“Why would I tell my dad? To get him to teach his secretary a lesson and then change where Yan Zhao is going to stay? My family’s money doesn’t grow on trees, it’s not that easy to buy a house.”

After they entered, Su Muxue pointed at the only empty room. “You will stay in that room. That is my bedroom and the other is the cloakroom.”

“But the appearance of such an unstable factor will also threaten your safety,” Mo Qing continued to suggest..
