Mu Tianen planned to learn to drive with Cai Di after school, so her family did not send a car to pick her up.

Mu Tianen walked toward the school gate as the nice cool breeze of autumn made her feel comfortable.

A black Mercedes-Benz stopped beside her. The person who got off was Li Jinnan.

Mu Tianen was neither surprised nor interested, but Li Jinnan blocked her way.

"Well, you are so persistent," Mu Tianen said with resignation.

"Mu Tianen, your best friend grew up in a single-parent family. She needs money very much, so you should persuade her. Stop pretending. It's no good for you," Li Jinnan said scornfully as if he was pitying her.

He had planned to go directly to Qiu Ziyi, but he saw Mu Tianen halfway. He thought that as long as Mu Tianen agreed, Qiu Ziyi would also agree, so he stopped the car.

Mu Tianen felt slightly angry about his words. She didn't know about Qiu Ziyi's family background, but she could guess more or less what it was like since she often worked part-time. But so what?

Qiu Ziyi could share her parents' burden and get good grades simultaneously. Mu Tianen was lazy herself, so she admired her very much.

"Li Jinnan, have you ever made money by yourself?" Mu Tianen was furious that Li Jinnan had arbitrarily investigated Qiu Ziyi and used such a sarcastic tone.

"I don't need to." Li Jinnan's face fell further. He appeared to be more scornful and a little impatient.

"Looks like you haven't. You even seem to be proud of asking family for money?" Mu Tianen added.

"I'm entitled to. What belongs to my parents belongs to me," Li Jinnan said with subtle pride.

"You're right, but what belongs to me doesn't belong to you. I don't want to give it to you. Why are you so obsessed with getting it?"

Mu Tianen's tone just became a little colder, but Li Jinnan felt her question was fiercely coercible. He was shocked. Only then did he look straight at Mu Tianen's face. She looked serious and assertive, which was not reconciled with her sweet facial features.

Li Jinnan could barely breathe.

Mu Tianen glanced at him and walked past him before he could answer.

By the time Li Jinnan recovered from the shock, Mu Tianen had already gone far away.

Li Jinnan still didn't want to give up. He quickly chased after her and came up with a guess. "Mu Tianen, are you trying to play hard to get?"

Mu Tianen did not expect a boy to be so thick-skinned to say that. She laughed uncontrollably. However, should this idiom be used like this?

"What are you laughing at? You really are, aren't you?" Li Jinnan had been frustrated the past few days, but now he felt a little released. He was even more certain that Mu Tianen wanted to attract his attention.

"I'm laughing at your rich imagination. You are overly confident and narcissistic that you embarrass yourself." Mu Tianen looked ahead and saw a familiar car.

"I look down on you," she said, looking into his eyes.

Mu Tianen just expressed her true feeling without any contempt.

However, Li Jinnan felt otherwise. He believed Mu Tianen disdained him. He was deeply hurt.

Li Jinnan had always been flattered, but now he had been looked down upon by a girl who had returned from the countryside. He had never been humiliated like this.

Mu Tianen was the first.

By the time Li Jinnan came back to his senses and wanted to rufute Mu Tianen, she had already gotten in the car and been taken further away.

Li Jinnan did not come to Mu Tianen for the following several days. It was like a very noisy mosquito had disappeared.

Mu Tianen was more concerned about another thing now. She had kept an eye on her phone during class because Leng Yan had not replied to her messages for two days. This had never happened.

Mu Tianen had asked her brother. He said there was no need to worry. This was normal. However, she just had a bad feeling. She felt uneasy.

After class, Mu Tianen immediately dialed Leng Yan's number. She was informed the subscriber was powered off. Before, it was just "not answered". This made her more worried.

Mu Tianen's lovely face became pale. She suddenly stood up and ran out, almost bumping into Li Yang.

"Queen Mu... Where are you going?" he asked.

"Tianen seems to be waiting for someone's call. She has dialed the number many times, but no one answered," Qiu Ziyi said as he walked out.

Li Yang immediately thought of Leng Yan, but it didn't make sense that Leng Yan didn't answer the phone.

Mu Tianen ran to the roof of the teaching building and called her brother to ask him for Leng Yu's phone number.

She dialed immediately once getting the number. The call rang for a long time before it was picked up. "Who is it?" A lazy voice sounded.

"It's me, Mu Tianen."

"What a surprise. I didn't expect you would call me," Leng Yu said excitedly.

"I can't find Brother Yan. He hasn't replied to me for two days. Do you know why?" Mu Tianen frowned, full of worry.

This was the first time Leng Yu had heard someone worrying about his brother. In his family's view, his brother was omnipotent. They believed that nothing could stump him. Even if he went missing for a long time, they would not be worried because he would appear from nowhere.

Mu Tianen waited for a long time but did not hear a reply. She called out anxiously, "Brother Yu..."

"You go to class first. I'll ask his subordinates for his whereabouts," Leng Yu snapped back to reality.

"Alright, hurry up." Mu Tianen bit her lower lip.

When she returned to the classroom, Mu Tianen was not in the mood to listen carefully to the teacher. She held her phone and kept looking at it. The teachers did not dare to say anything. After all, the students were all from rich families. They could not force them to study. It was their choice to fail their graduation.

Mu Tianen felt time was moving extremely slowly. Every minute felt like torture. when the school bell rang and the class was over, her phone rang at the same time. "Hello, Brother Yu."

In less than a minute, Mu Tianen hung up the phone and walked out the classroom expressionlessly. Leng Yu said that Leng Yan encountered something urgently, so he couldn't contact her for the time being. Leng Yu told her not to worry.

However, Mu Tianen felt that things were not as simple as they seemed. Leng Yu's tone had completely changed. He did not joke. He sounded serious and anxious.

Qiu Ziyi was worried, so she followed Mu Tianen.

"Ziyi, I'll let you go. I'm going home," Mu Tianen said after they left the teaching building.

Qiu Ziyi wanted to ask Mu Tianen what was wrong, but she had already left. When she found it's her mother who came to pick her up, she felt relieved and left.

When Wen Jia found her daughter was smileless, she asked worriedly, "Sweetie, are you not feeling well?"

Mu Tianen tilted her head to look at her mother and shook her head. Just as she was about to speak, Wen Jia's phone rang.

"Sweetie, we have to go back to the mansion," Wen Jia said with a sullen face after hanging up the phone.

Mu Tianen could only hold back.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Mu family's mansion.

Wen Jia and Mu Tianen found that only Mu Qing and Mu Zongqiao were in the mansion.

Wen Jia's face fell. She realized she had come early, but she couldn't leave now.

"Father," she said coldly as she brought Mu Tianen in.

Mu Qing acted as if he did not hear anything and continued to play chess with Mu Zongqiao.

Wen Jia was neither embarrassed nor angry. She had already guessed it would be like this. She was just worried about her daughter. She looked toward her and found her expressionless.

Wen Jia felt at ease and sat down with her daughter.

"How dare you, Wen Jia! Where is your etiquette? I didn't even ask you to sit down." Mu Qing reproached. He looked up, his turbid eyes sharp and dissatisfied.

Mu Zongqiao looked like he was watching a show.

There was no trace of fear on Wen Jia's gentle and elegant face, let alone respect. "Father, my etiquette is for people worthy of my respect."

"Anyhow, you're from a scholarly family. Your etiquette was all for nothing." Mu Qing pointed at Wen Jia with his hand trembling.

"Let's get down to business." Wen Jia came back in place of her husband. Her husband called and said that his father was looking for him urgently. He asked her to come over to see what was going on and that he would come soon.

Wen Jia came back because she didn't want her husband to worry.

Mu Zongqiao looked impatient. He touched his father's foot under the table with his foot. Only then did Mu Qing think of their purpose. "Tianmin has been sent out for a long time. Ask Tianheng to call him back."

Wen Jia did not know about this, but she was not surprised. Mu Tianmin should have been sent to someplace in the middle of nowhere by her son because he went to their house to meet her little daughter without being invited.

The first son's family had already gone to her husband to complain but to no avail.

Now, they came to the Old Master.

"This is not up to me. You should call Ah Heng yourself. If there is nothing else, I will take Tianen home."

"Wen Jia, aren't you looking down on me too much?" Mu Qing frowned in anger.

"Grandpa, Mommy never concerns herself with the company." Mu Qing's angry shout pulled Mu Tianen back from her thoughts. She was worrying about Leng Yan.

"Don't interrupt when adults are talking. Everything happened because you, the jinx, had come back," Mu Qing pointed at Mu Tianen and scolded her furiously. "You should go back to that mountain and never come back! You're going to destroy the Mu family."

"Remember to give back the shares before you leave," Mu Zongqiao said hurriedly.

"Right, Ah Qiao, go prepare the documents and ask her to return the shares before leaving." Mu Qing was reminded of this by his eldest son.

"Yes." Mu Zongqiao hurriedly got up to prepare. This was his real purpose.

Wen Jia was so angry that she lost her mind. However, she finally understood that this was the real reason why they called her back. Just as she was about to refute, Mu Tianen spoke first, "Grandpa, I won't hand over anything that has been given to me."

Mu Tianen would not take advantage of others, but it was also difficult for her to take out the things she was unwilling to hand over.

"By the way, don't be angry. It's easy for you to have a stroke."

Mu Tianen saw the veins on her Grandfather's forehead seem to pop out, so she reminded him with good intentions.

But Mu Qing took it as a curse. He slammed his hand on the table, and all the chess pieces fell to the ground.

"Mu Tianen, how vicious you are! It's really your plan to destroy the whole family! You came back to take revenge."

Mu Tianen felt wronged. She didn't understand what had happened. She just told the truth.

"Father, we'll be leaving," Wen Jia said as she pulled his daughter up and stood in front of her to protect her.

"You can't leave unless you sign the transfer contract," Mu Qing ordered.

Suddenly, a group of bodyguards in black suits rushed in. It should be Mu Zongqiao who called them in.
