Chapter 1587

The two of them felt a chill in their hearts, knowing the old man was truly angry.

However, they never expected that their earnest and painstaking persuasion would make him so furious.

Could it be that the old man is also afraid of Mu Xiaojiu?

Otherwise, why would he be displaying such behavior?

Even though they still had grievances in their hearts, they dared not say anything more.

Mu Dongyu and Mu Haoguo bowed to the old man and then exited together.

Seeing them leave, the old man slammed the table fiercely again, startling Ning Anran nearby.

“What a group of ingrates, raising them was in vain.”

The housekeeper, Feng Gang, saw the old man was genuinely angry and hurriedly comforted him, “Sir, they are just acting impulsively because they’ve suffered losses.

It will be fine in a few days.”

Ning Anran also said, “Yes, Grandpa, although I don’t know exactly what happened, there are no lasting grudges in a family.

It will be fine in a few days.”

Hearing Ning Anran’s comfort, the old man finally felt a bit relieved.

But he still looked somber.

A single meal, and it seemed he had aged several years in an instant.

His already aged face looked even more haggard.

“Sir, your health is poor; you cannot get angry again.” Feng Gang looked at his lifeless face, full of worry.

“Sir, if you get angry again, your heart condition will act up.”

The old man shook his head, sighed, and slowly stood up.

Feng Gang wanted to assist him, but he waved his hand and said indifferently, “Anran, come with me to the study. I have something to discuss with you.”

Ning Anran immediately stepped forward to support the old man and helped him into the study.

He was truly old; even walking now, his steps seemed unsteady.

Ning Anran watched his steps with a complex gaze, unsure of what she was thinking…

Once in the study, the old man personally locked the door.

Seeing his caution, Ning Anran knew he must have something very important to tell her.

She sat on the sofa, waiting for the old man to speak.

But after a long while, he still didn’t speak.

Judging by his expression, he seemed to be thinking about how to start.

Ning Anran could tell that the earlier events must have put a lot of pressure on him.

She had some questions she wanted to ask, but she feared that it might make him angry again, like before.

But if she could ask them, it might help Mr.

Xiaojiu.

She thought for a moment and finally started first.

“Grandpa, there is something I don’t understand.”

The old man raised his head to look at her; his previously worried eyes now carried a hint of a kind smile.

“What is it?”

“Since you believe Uncle is your son, why not do a paternity test? That would also silence everyone.”

The old man looked at her and didn’t get angry; instead, his gaze suddenly became more and more complex.

This child finally asked the question.

“Also…” Ning Anran hesitated a bit.

Seeing no displeasure on the old man’s face, she dared to speak cautiously.

“Just now… both uncles mentioned that their… shares were deceived, such a severe matter, Grandpa you…”

She hesitated, afraid that saying the wrong thing would make the old man angry.

But the old man looked at her and sighed softly, “If you have any doubts in your heart, feel free to speak up all at once. Grandpa won’t get angry, go ahead.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Anran steadied herself, took a deep breath.

Then, mustering her courage, she asked, “Such a serious matter, Grandpa, why didn’t you immediately have someone investigate and find a way to recover, but instead… let it be?”
