Chapter 641 The Mu Family and Master An!
Chapter 641 The Mu Family and Master An!
Atao nodded in agreement.
Moreover, a hint of helplessness and lingering fear lingered at the corners of his mouth.
"Yes, I encountered it."
One asks, the other answers.
It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it.
However, the naturally quirky and clever Mu Zhixu discovered a problem.
A suspicious look in her eyes as she stared at the old man in front of her.
"Grandpa, you must have known Anyang for a long time, right?"
Actually, Atao sensed it too.
Previously, the old master of the Mu family had never mentioned anything about Anyang.
But today they asked directly about Anyang.
If we hadn't known each other before, we probably wouldn't have been so direct, right?
So, Atao had already pricked up his ears, hoping to get an answer from the old gentleman from the Mu family.
They weren't disappointed.
Mu Zhengde nodded.
Atao's eyes immediately looked bigger.
"Sir, you really knew about Anyang all along?"
Mu Zhengde asked with a smile:
"What, is that strange?"
"No, no, no, I just feel... it's unlikely."
Atao's statement that it's unlikely isn't without reason.
After all, the Mu family has always been cautious and prudent since they first entered the arms business.
But An Yang was, after all, a former police officer.
Even if Mu Zhengde were negligent, he couldn't possibly overlook An Yang's identity, could he?
Just as he was puzzled,
Beside him, Mu Zhixu stared at the old man with a grin.
"Old Mu, you're quite good at hiding your true intentions."
"Tell me the truth, how did you get to know Officer An?"
In the Mu family, only one person dared to speak to Mu Zhengde like that.
Mu Zhengde was not angry at all; on the contrary, he smiled and pointed at Mu Zhixu.
"There are no sizes."
"To explain how I met Officer An, I have to mention two other people."
Atao immediately asked:
"Who?"
But Mu Zhengde did not give a direct answer.
Instead, she looked at Mu Zhixu with a slightly worried expression.
With just a glance, Mu Zhixu immediately understood.
"My parents?"
Although it was said very casually,
But the longing and sorrow that flashed in his eyes did not escape Mu Zhengde's notice.
"Why……"
After a long sigh,
A barely perceptible trace of grief seemed to appear on Mu Zhengde's face as well.
"You probably won't believe me if I tell you now."
"The person in this world who opposes me the most, and who opposes the Mu family the most, is Zhixu's father."
"In fact, that brat almost destroyed the entire Mu family."
The Mu family
Destroyed in an instant?
Despite the dire consequences, Mu Zhengde spoke of them with such ease.
Neither Atao nor Mu Zhixu could detect even the slightest hint of resentment or blame.
even,
All that could be heard was Mu Zhengde's longing for his son.
"And...what happened next?"
This was the first time Mu Zhixu had ever heard about her parents in her entire life.
"later……"
Mu Zhengde gently raised his head.
"Later, if it weren't for your mother, he might never have spoken to this old man like me again in his entire life."
"It must have been tough on your mother, having to go back and forth between him and me for the sake of the entire Mu family."
"But, if your father hadn't insisted on leaving, perhaps... perhaps..."
Talking,
Mu Zhengde's voice visibly wavered slightly.
He choked up!
"Perhaps none of what happened later would have occurred?"
What happened next!
These words were like a spark igniting the paper thread holding back tears in Mu Zhixu's heart.
His eyes started to slowly turn red.
Tears accumulated inside.
Thud,
In the end, one fish still slipped through the net and fell down Mu Zhixu's cheek.
The entire Mu family knows that
The old man of the Mu family fears neither heaven nor earth.
The only thing I fear in this world is Mu Zhixu shedding tears.
It was precisely because of this tear,
Mu Zhengde raised his hand and lowered it several times, but he didn't dare to touch Mu Zhixu at all!
"When I was younger, I always felt that your dad was ungrateful and didn't consider the bigger picture."
"But ever since he passed away, I've been reflecting on this."
"Even now, I feel that everything was due to my own stubbornness."
"He never consults with anyone before making decisions."
"Although the Mu family appears powerful and prestigious on the surface,..."
"But in reality, with a strong wind blowing, it's really hard to say how long the Mu family can hold out."
The more I talked about it, the sadder I became.
Especially this old man, who is over fifty, was able to humble himself and say such things.
How could it not move one to tears!
Atao quietly stepped forward, squatted down beside Mu Zhengde, and whispered words of comfort:
"Sir, I believe that my parents in heaven can hear what you are saying today."
"They will definitely choose to forgive you."
Although the words were pleasant to hear, Mu Zhengde knew perfectly well that they were just a consolation.
but,
Just as he shook his head with a smile,
Mu Zhixu gently rested her little head on Mu Zhengde's shoulder.
"Grandpa, don't shake your head,"
"Brother Tao is right, my parents will definitely forgive you, definitely."
Others might not even notice.
Ke Muzhixu is the one with the strongest feelings.
Because Mu Zhengde's sense of guilt began the moment she was born.
No one will be unconditionally kind to another person.
Even in the case of descendants.
But what did Mu Zhengde do?
He gave all his love to Mu Zhixu alone.
It can be said that Mu Zhixu was spoiled and pampered from a young age.
of course,
Mu Zhixu also had rebellious moments.
Whenever Mu Zhixu disobeys and learns to rebel,
Mu Zhengde never said a harsh word.
This old man only knows how to find ways to make Mu Zhixu happy.
If he can't do it himself, then find someone else.
If no one else works, then we'll try again. We'll eventually find someone Mu Zhixu likes.
Perhaps this is why the Mu family has so many people?
After a brief period of tears,
Atao asked softly:
"That Zhi Xu's parents, and Officer An..."
At this point,
Mu Zhengde got up and went into his small house.
That's right,
It's this little house in the garden.
Although the villa was ridiculously large, this small, dilapidated house was Mu Zhengde's own place to live.
When the villa was being built, he repeatedly instructed that...
He was going to do everything himself in this small, dilapidated house.
The reason is that he wants to recreate the appearance of the old rural house from years ago, before the Mu family rose to power, one-to-one.
Although the final work was not entirely satisfactory, it did make up for Mu Zhengde's regret.
Now, Atao seems to finally understand why he insisted on living in this small, dilapidated house, even though there were so many other rooms available.
Turning to look at Mu Zhixu, he said softly:
"Perhaps the happiest time of his life was spent with your father in the countryside?"
Mu Zhixu did not speak.
Instead, she stared at the foolish old man with tears in her eyes.
"Although he never said anything about love or affection,"
"But Grandpa's longing for my dad seems to be there every moment."
I searched the shabby little house for a long time.
When Mu Zhengde returned, he was carrying an object wrapped in cloth.
"Sir, what is this?"
