The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

Mu Ya'an listened to her grandfather's words in silence without saying a word.

Grandpa Mu didn't immediately pressure Mu Ya'an to say anything; he simply lay on the hospital bed and weakly spoke.

"If you can revitalize the Mu family, even if I die, I can rest in peace."

Mu Ya'an took a deep breath, feeling as if something was blocking her chest, making her extremely uncomfortable.

Aunt Li stood quietly to the side. Seeing Mu Ya'an's extremely conflicted expression, she wanted to say something, but in the end, she held back.

"Grandpa, I won't let you down."

When Old Master Mu heard Mu Ya'an speak in such a low voice, a smile appeared in his eyes. He nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Ya'an, it's impossible for Gong Juncheng not to have any feelings for you. Ya'an, as a woman, you actually have a lot of advantages in these areas."

Mu Ya'an paused for a moment upon hearing this.

Her grandfather's words were very clear; there was no way she couldn't understand them.

She looked at Old Master Mu intently for a few moments, then spoke in a low voice.

"Grandpa, I want to go back and rest first. Aunt Li can take care of you here."

Grandpa Mu nodded and watched Mu Ya'an leave.

As Mu Ya'an walked out of the ward, she turned around and glanced at Old Master Mu lying on the hospital bed, then took a deep breath.

Her grandfather's expectations for her are now so high that she feels like she can't breathe.

After Mu Ya'an left, Old Master Mu got up from the bed and slowly walked to the window.

From here, you can see exactly where Mu Ya'an and Gong Juncheng were standing just now, where they were having their conversation.

Aunt Li glanced at Old Master Mu, then quietly tidied up her things to the side.

Old Master Mu glanced deeply out the window, then said in a deep voice.

"During this time, you will stay by Ya'an's side and take care of him. If anything happens, report to me immediately. I will arrange for a caregiver to come and take care of him."

Aunt Li nodded upon hearing this.

Mu Ya'an left the hospital and walked to the hospital entrance, where she saw Gong Juncheng's car still parked there.

Mu Ya'an was still clutching the consent form in her hand, but when she saw Gong Juncheng, she immediately hid it behind her back.

However, Gong Juncheng still managed to see it.

Seeing this, Mu Ya'an took a deep breath and turned to walk in another direction, but Gong Juncheng still caught up with her.

Gong Juncheng snatched the consent form from Mu Ya'an's hand. Seeing Mu Ya'an's name on the form, Gong Juncheng smiled coldly and looked at Mu Ya'an, saying sarcastically.

"Your grandfather really loves you."

Hearing the mockery in Gong Juncheng's tone, Mu Ya'an immediately spoke in a deep voice.

"This is something I signed willingly. My grandfather's reputation cannot be tarnished by you like this. Gong Juncheng, you will not achieve your goal."

Upon hearing this, Gong Juncheng gave a cold laugh and mocked in a low voice.

"Mu Ya'an, I don't know if you're really an idiot or just plain stupid."

Gong Juncheng took the consent form in his hand, gave Mu Ya'an a cold glance, and then turned and left.

Mu Ya'an glanced at Gong Juncheng's departing figure; they barely exchanged any other words.

Mu Ya'an couldn't see any love in Gong Juncheng's eyes for her.

Her grandfather was wrong. Gong Juncheng had no love for her at all. Even if he did, it was only boundless humiliation.

Mu Ya'an walked back to the alley and rested in the small house for a few hours before receiving a call from Zhao Quan, inviting her to his birthday party.

When Mu Ya'an received Zhao Quan's call, she still felt somewhat dazed.

Zhao Quan is not a particularly good person, but he's not bad either. He has a straightforward personality. Although Mu Ya'an doesn't have a deep relationship with him, they also don't have any conflicts.

"Young Master Zhao, you should be aware of the current situation of our Mu family. Are you sure you still want to invite me?"

Upon hearing Mu Ya'an's words, Zhao Quan responded immediately without hesitation.

“Miss Mu, I just heard about your family’s situation. I know you’re borrowing money everywhere. If you come to my birthday party, I’ll lend you the money.”

Zhao Quan's voice was very straightforward, and Mu Ya'an knew his character well, so she immediately agreed.

"Thank you for thinking of me at this time, Mr. Zhao. I will be there as promised on your birthday. I hope you won't... lie to me. This money is very important to me."

"Miss Mu, don't worry, you'll get your share of the money. For me, it's just one night's expenses."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an felt as if she had seen a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, she never expected that the person who agreed to lend her money would be Zhao Quan, this cynical young master.

Despite having received a call from Zhao Quan, Mu Ya'an still hoped to resell the necklace she had, as it would be another source of income, and she was currently short of money.

Mu Ya'an changed back into sportswear and set off for the black market.

The black market in H city is behind a bar.

It's a mixed bag, with all sorts of people.

Mu Ya'an, dressed in black sportswear and wearing a mask, walked through the bar and headed towards the black market.

She had no idea that her every move was being watched by Gong Juncheng.

It was Mu Ya'an's first time at the black market. Although she tried to appear calm, her behavior still seemed out of place.

Upon entering, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

All eyes were on her, and some people even went up to her to strike up a conversation.

"Hey beautiful, what good stuff do you have?"

"I accept anything."

Mu Ya'an glanced at the other person and saw that his attire looked like that of a thug, so she gently shook her head.

She still hoped to find a buyer with substantial financial resources, rather than a small-time hoodlum who looked like he had no money at all.

Gong Juncheng, in a private room upstairs, watched indifferently as Mu Ya'an, dressed in black sportswear, walked among the crowd.

She clutched her canvas bag tightly, as if afraid others wouldn't know she had valuables inside.

She was now a sitting duck walking among the crowd, with everyone around her staring at the canvas bag in her hand like wolves.

Flowers in a greenhouse are unaware of the wickedness of the human heart.

Mu Ya'an continued walking forward when suddenly someone bumped into her shoulder. She paused, turned her head to look at the spot, and saw that the person had simply adjusted their hat and then jogged away.

Upstairs, the underling standing next to Gong Juncheng saw this scene and immediately took a step forward.

In Gong Juncheng's territory, someone actually dared to pull such a dirty trick.

When the younger brother saw Gong Juncheng's brows furrow slightly, he immediately tugged at his collar, revealing a walkie-talkie, and gave the order in a deep voice.

“A thin man wearing a baseball cap ran over from the ten o’clock direction, grabbed him, and brought him over to the gentleman.”

As soon as the younger brother finished speaking, some people in the crowd immediately took action.

Mu Ya'an took a few more steps forward, touched her canvas bag, and then realized something was wrong. She opened the bag and saw that the place where she had put her necklace had been cut open, and the necklace was gone.
