C558

It was a cylindrical object, completely black. After studying it for a long time, she realized that it could be unscrewed.

Mu Lele sat in front of the table and focused on fiddling with the black cylinder. Soon enough, she found a key-like object inside.

She quickly picked up the item from the table and began to study it carefully.

Strictly speaking, the object in her hand was only part of the key. From the cut left on it, it could be seen that it had been cut in half from the middle, and in her hand was the lower part of the lock.

Mu Lele fiddled with the broken key as she frowned. This was the first time she had found something about Yue Ming in the Mu family.

Mu Hai Dong had said that Yue Guang had left some important things in the Kingdom of Hua, but no one knew where she hid them.

What does the key in your own hands mean? Could it be the opening of a treasure trove?

Or could it have something to do with the chip Smith wanted?

Or maybe he could use this key to find out all of O'Brien's secrets?

Mu Letian was lost in thought. When he heard Aunt Wang calling his name, she put away the broken key and went downstairs after changing into a new set of clothes.

When she reached the stairs, an idea suddenly popped into her mind!

The windfall was found in an electric oven that no one had used for more than a decade. Was it possible that Ouyang Mingyue had hidden what she thought was important in an inconspicuous corner of her house?

Previously, when she wanted to find some clues about Ouyang Mingyue from the Mu family, her eyes had only locked onto the room and the storage room where she used to live. Now, she wanted to try a different way of thinking and maybe find something else.

Just do it!

Mu Lele ran excitedly to the kitchen and asked, "Aunt Wang, do you know if there are any objects in the house that Mother used to like and has not thrown away?"

"Something like an oven, for instance."

After thinking for a long time, she said, "My wife used to love taking care of flowers in the back of the glass room, but after so many years, the plants have changed again and again. Only the shelf with the rattan in the corner can still be considered as an old item, and my wife also liked taking care of it when she was there."

Mu Lele hurriedly took out a small notebook and wrote it down before asking, "Is there anything else?"

"Also …" "Let me think …"

"At the top of the wine shelves, there is a Jingtai Lan silk enamel bottle. Madam liked it back then, and it was rumored that it was passed down from the Qing court."

"There's also a coffee machine. It should be in the storage room now."

Madam Wang had said a lot. Mu Lele had recorded everything down carefully. She was prepared to search carefully when she was free. Maybe she could find the secret that Ouyang Mingyue was trying to hide, or even the A.I. Chip that Smith wanted!

Perhaps it was because she had brought up the topic of the moon, but when she finished, she sighed and said, "Madam is such a good person, yet she has mysteriously disappeared …" Apart from what I said just now, my wife's favorite object is the piece of dragon jade I gave you. That piece of jade was worn at that time, and no one can touch it. "

"Speaking of which, madam just decided to give that dragon-shaped jade pendant to Miss, she'll be gone in a few days …"

"This is all due to the will of heaven. Maybe, Madam felt something and left a thought for Miss."

Madam Wang's words suddenly reminded Mu Lele of the fact that if Smith had spoken the truth about her background, then she must also be the favoured eldest daughter of the Norman family.

Then would the young lady of Europe's largest dark faction 'coincidentally' leave her daughter the object of her thoughts for no reason?

Would she once again 'easily' be dragged into the sea by Mu Haidong and drowned?

Mu Lele only felt that Ouyang Mingyue's true appearance was becoming more and more mysterious …

However, she didn't have the time to think about such things at the moment because she saw Li Xiao helping Qi Yuanlin walk over.

She hurriedly put away the small notebook and ran out in large strides.

"Grandfather, I haven't seen you in a long time. How are you?"

Qi Yuanlin saw his grandson's wife as soon as he came up, and his old face blossomed into a smile.

"My old man is doing very well. Now that he has seen my family's happiness, my old man is so happy that he can fly in the sky!"

Li Xiao joked, "Alright then! "When we get married, Grandfather, you don't even need to book a plane ticket. You can just fly to B City …"

Qi Yuanlin was so angry that he blew his beard as he glared at Qin Wushuang. "You brat, you asked my old man to fly to B City. Why didn't you give me a pair of wings first?"

Li Xiao said seriously, "Grandfather, how about we put in a pair of chicken wings for you? "You are so tired, yet you still eat and replenish your strength …"

"If you despise chicken wings being too small, I can insert goose wings into your body. I can guarantee that you can fly faster than that Boeing plane!"

Mu Lele couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

A scene suddenly appeared in her mind. That was to change the Thousand-Arms Guan Yin's face from the temple to Grandpa Qi's face, and then to Thousand-Hands' wings, which was exactly what Li Xiao had described.

This picture... It was an extraordinary feeling of joy!

Mu Lele smiled and said, "Grandfather, you're really adorable!"

Qi Yuanlin was furious and wanted to say something back to his grandson, but seeing how happy his daughter-in-law was, he sneered, "Forget it, my lord is too generous. I don't want to make a fuss over nothing with a stupid brat like you."

Li Xiao and Mu Lele supported Old Master Wei into the room.

After receiving the servant's notice, Mu Ru had already changed into a more formal looking Zhongshan clothes and was waiting in the living room for the guests.

The two old men didn't get into a standoff over the phone like they had before. After the two of them mutually embraced each other for a while, they sat down facing each other.

Mu Lele sat beside Mu Ru and faced Li Xiao and Qi Yuanlin.

However, after they sat down, the grandfather-grandson pair instantly acted as if they had changed into a completely different person. Their behavior was extremely surprising!

He saw the two of them sitting on a chair with their hands on their knees and their backs straightened. They did not look like they were here to discuss a marriage, but rather that they were about to start a life and death negotiation.

Mu Ru: "…"

He was confused. Did the grandfather-grandson duo get scared by his father's domineering attitude, or was he trying to intimidate him?

Mu Lele was also at a loss. Weren't they fine just now?

Why did the atmosphere suddenly turn awkward?

Under the oppressive aura of the enemy, Mu Lele and Mu Ru also subconsciously straightened their backs. For a moment, the four of them stared at each other in silence.

Madam Wang walked over with a tray of tea. Feeling the thick awkward atmosphere, she was at a loss as to what to do.

She placed the cup of tea on the table, then tentatively asked, "You want to talk about Miss Lele's marriage? Do you need me to bring some dessert?"

Li Xiao said, "Bring some to Le Le! Grandpa and grandpa are too old to eat sweet food. "

"Alright …" Wang Shishi felt that her aura wasn't enough to stand here, so she chose to retreat quickly.

Since someone was speaking, the atmosphere wasn't that strange.

Mu Lele took over the conversation and briefly introduced the two elders. When she introduced Qi Yuanlin to them, the old man's expression became even more serious. He stared straight ahead with his lips slightly pursed, not saying a word.

Since she had already finished speaking, at least Grandpa Wei would give him a response.

Mu Lele subconsciously cast her gaze towards Li Xiao, who was beside him. The same posture and expression, one old and the other young, it was as though she was copying and pasting them together.

She whispered, "Grandfather …" Are you not feeling well? "

Qi Yuanlin heard her voice and came back to his senses. He realized that his actions and behavior had gone overboard.

There was a trace of awkwardness on his face as he said, "No, it's just …" It was his first time seeing his grandson's wife. There were some people in his family who were … "Hmm …" "I'm a bit nervous …"

Li Xiao: "Yes …" I'm nervous too! "

Mu Lele and Mu Ru, "…"

One of them was the CEO of the company, the other was an old veteran that was in front of the army.

She and Mu Ru were scary, what was there to be nervous about?

Mu Lele let out a sigh of relief and said, "Grandfather, you're just like grandfather, being an elder, there's no need to be nervous. You can just act as you normally would …"

This couldn't be blamed on Qi Yuanlin and Li Xiao. Although they had experienced a lot in a lot of situations, to them, one of them had done 'forcefully kidnap her granddaughter and bring her home', and the other had been afraid that their family would not be able to marry her.

The grandfather-grandson pair were both born in the army and had high statuses. Their minds were filled with a string, so they subconsciously took out the bearing and attitude that belonged to soldiers.

Seeing the embarrassed look on the old man's face, Mu Ru found it funny.

He opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere and asked, "Old Brother, you have an extraordinary bearing. Could it be that you've joined the army when you were young?"

With this topic, Qi Yuanlin became more normal. He turned around and said to Li Xiao, "Now that you and Le Le are getting married, why don't you introduce yourself? "At least let Grandpa Le Le know what you do."

Mu Ru was surprised as he didn't expect his satisfactory grandson-in-law. The CEO of the company was only a sideline. His real profession was a soldier, and a soldier with a military title at such a young age.

He couldn't help but praise, "Alright, Xiao is quite good!"

Qi Yuanlin saw that Mu Ru was very satisfied with his grandson, so he wasn't as nervous.

He spoke out, "Old mister Mu, I am a few years older than you, so I called you Brother Mu."

"I came here for two reasons. Firstly, I wanted to apologize to you. Secondly, I wanted to discuss the marriage of my two children with you."

Qi Yuanlin pretended to cough to hide his embarrassment when he mentioned the shameful things he had done.

He said, "About the marriage certificate..." I'll tell you the truth today. When Xiao took Le Le over to the family, I wanted Le Le to be my grandson's wife. Thus, in order to arrange their marriage, I stole Le Le's identity card and used some previous connections to get it! "

Mu Lele asked doubtfully, "When did you steal my identity card? How come I didn't know?"

Qi Yuanlin blushed slightly and said in a low voice, "The time you took me to the hospital, you went out to buy fruits. You left your ID card on the table and I took it …"

Mu Lele lowered her head to calculate the time. At that time, she hadn't known Li Xiao for long.

Damn it, he had been a married woman for so long!

The key was that Li Xiao knew all about it, and even treated him like a fool to play around with!

When he thought of this, Mu Lele raised her head and glared viciously at him.

Li Xiao felt helpless. He knew that his wife would definitely be angry if this matter was exposed …

Qi Yuanlin looked at the confused Mu Ru and said with an embarrassed face, "Brother Mu, don't be angry anymore. The children are getting married now, so it's not a big mistake on my part!"

These words … Even he himself felt guilty about what he had said.1

He, Qi Yuanlin, had done this before in his life. Was it easy for him to do this for his grandson?

Mu Ru took a sip of water to regain his composure. Although he was slightly angry that his granddaughter had been listed in his family account without even greeting him, now that they were married, there wasn't much point in bringing up such matters.

Therefore, he slowly said, "We won't talk about this ever again, old brother. It's also for the good of the children."

"Let's talk about their marriage."

"We also know the situation of our Mu family. Although Le Le is not my granddaughter, but in my heart, she is a family member even more close than my own granddaughter. If she wants to marry, I naturally hope that she won't be wronged in the slightest."

Mu Ru's expression became serious, "But … I heard that your family seems to be dissatisfied with the music! "

Qi Yuanlin straightened his back and said seriously, "You mean the Li family?" Ah Xiao has already broken off all ties with that family for many years. To Ah Xiao, they cannot be considered family. "

"I'm not talking about the Li family."

Mu Ru shook his head and continued, "I'm talking about Li Xiao's grandmother. I heard that she's very dissatisfied with Le Le Le."

Mu Lele was shocked. "Grandfather, you …" "How do you know?"

Only now did his grandfather come to his senses. Before the two of them even said anything close to each other, he already knew that Li Xiao's grandma was unhappy with him.

Mu Ru smiled bitterly and didn't reply.

Back then, when Mu Lele knelt at the front of the Mu residence, he had avoided her presence. However, in the end, he regretted it.

Therefore, he had sent people to keep an eye on her.

He knew that his granddaughter had gone abroad to participate in the Emerald Public Board, met the Gambling King, and even went missing for a period of time.

He also knew that after she and Li Xiao returned to their country, they went straight to B City, where the Qi family made things difficult for them.

When Mu Ru received this news, he was not happy. His granddaughter, whom he had doted on for over ten years, was actually bullied by a group of people he didn't know. He wished he could immediately appear in the B City to support Mu Lele!

It was a good thing that this opportunity had come.

When he mentioned Li Xiao's grandmother, Wu Jun, Qi Yuanlin's expression turned ugly.

A few days ago, the old woman had called to ask him why he had taken the initiative to find such a miserable daughter-in-law for Ah Xiao.

Qi Yuanlin said sternly, "The old lady has a prejudice against happiness. If they get along for a while, they will naturally know the benefits of happiness."

Mu Ru waved his hand as if he didn't want to hear such a grand speech!
