“I will mobilize all my strength to help you control the entire Mu family and make you the master of the Mu Group.”

The old man’s voice suddenly rose, startling Ning Anran, who shrank back immediately.

Just after he spoke, the old man realized his own loss of composure.

He sighed again and said slowly, “Grandfather is being greedy.

I just want you to have a better life in the future.”

“If it were just me, I wouldn’t care about anything or want anything, but now that I have you, I must plan for you.”

“Grandfather, I…” Ning Anran called out, wanting to say something, but she didn’t know how to continue.

She could understand the old man’s thoughts, perhaps he had a fondness for power, but his sincere love for her was undeniable.

If the old man truly did all this because of her, was she being a bit unreasonable?

But if she accepted this role, it would mean becoming enemies with Mr.

Xiaojiu.

She didn’t want that, she really didn’t.

She still hoped that one day, she could be with Mr.

Xiaojiu.

Moreover, she had long witnessed Mr.

Xiaojiu’s dominance, opposing him was akin to seeking death.

Seeing the changing expressions on Ning Anran’s face, the old man asked lightly, “Is there anything you’re still worried about?”

She nodded, only speaking after a while, “I’m afraid someone might harm me.”

“Jiu?”

“Hmm.” Ning Anran responded softly.

The old man patted her shoulder, reassuring her.

“Don’t be afraid, since we’ve decided to make a move, I’m confident we can see it through to the end.”

“Those elders I introduced you to earlier are my forces developed over the years, completely loyal to me.”

“In the future, I’ll explain everything to them, and they will definitely help you with all their might.”

“Grandfather…” Ning Anran looked at him, still filled with unease.

“Do we really need to do this?

After all, it’s Mu family assets, it’s only right to return them to Mu family members.”

“Grandfather, it’s not that I don’t support your actions, nor am I blaming you, it’s just…

I’m a bit uneasy.”

She lowered her head, but her eyes flashed quickly.

Tonight has truly been a significant revelation.

However, this is all more complex than she imagined.

The old man knew well what Mr.

Xiaojiu had been doing.

Mr.

Xiaojiu probably also understood the old man’s background clearly.

Each has their own plans, their own forces; who will be the true winner in the end?

Handing the entire Mu Group to her…

Ning Anran took a deep breath and shook her head to herself.

It’s impossible, and shouldn’t be, that belongs to Mr.

Xiaojiu.

She…

also belongs to Mr.

Xiaojiu, no way can she betray him!

“My Anran is kind, but Grandfather has his own pressing concerns.”

The old man sighed silently.

Yes, over the years, the Mu Group was always in his hands; he indeed developed a bit of greed.

Perhaps people are like this, when they have nothing, they can live contentedly.

But once they possess something—power, money, status—having it for a long time makes them believe it should all belong to them.

When it truly comes time to let go, it’s hard to give it up.

“There are many things you’re still too young to understand.”

“At this point, if I really let go, I would not only be left with nothing, but the Mu family members wouldn’t let us go either.”

“They won’t understand everything from back then; they’ll only think that I took everything from Mu Zhentian.”

He looked at Ning Anran, his eyes filled with helplessness.

“They won’t only target me, they would also harm you, and this I absolutely will not allow!”
