Chapter 446: Chapter 446

Old Master Mu proudly lifted his chin, "Good, no need for a cane anymore."

Mu Huaner couldn’t believe it and covered her mouth, examining Old Master Mu’s legs, "That’s wonderful! Daddy can finally walk properly!"

"It’s all thanks to my eldest grandson’s wife."

Old Master Mu patted the hand that Yan Qianyi had resting in the crook of his arm, "Qianyi, I must give you a big gift. Tell me, what would you like?"

Mu Huaner was stunned for a moment, only then did she notice how close Old Master Mu had become to Yan Qianyi.

Old Master Mu was usually very strict, and only during public events or banquets would the younger generations dare to link arms with him.

Mu Huaner watched, dazed, as a loving smile spread across Old Master Mu’s face.

She couldn’t remember the last time she had seen her father smile like that.

Ever since her father’s legs became unsteady, his temper had become more explosive by the day.

Only when he was happily watching cricket fights would he smile.

Although seeing Yan Qianyi made her feel uncomfortable,

she felt relieved to see Old Master Mu smiling again.

But what she didn’t expect was that Yan Qianyi actually had some skills!

She couldn’t help but imagine, if Yan Qianyi weren’t Shu Meng’s daughter, she probably would have liked her, right?

After all, she was the person Yunlie loved.

Moreover, she had now cured Old Master Mu’s leg ailment.

"Grandpa, as long as you are healthy, that’s all that matters. I don’t need any gifts, Ah Lie will buy me anything I like."

"Ah Lie buying for you reflects his sentiments, but a gift from me is different," Old Master Mu insisted, "I must give you a big gift! Now that you think of it, you and Ah Lie are already married, and you’re even pregnant. I haven’t given you any gift yet."

Yan Qianyi didn’t postpone any longer, "Then I’ll thank Grandpa in advance."

Old Master Mu pondered for a moment and then suddenly had an idea. He said to Mu Huaner, "Speaking of which, doesn’t our family have a mall that’s opening during the New Year period?"

"Yes, Daddy, it’s all ready."

"Then give that mall to Qianyi; you take care of this matter."

Mu Huaner was shocked, "Dad, that mall has always been managed by Zixuan. You had promised her that once the mall opens, the management rights and a share of the mall’s equity would be given to her."

"I’ve changed my mind now; give all the equity of that mall to Qianyi."

"No more words. This is the first gift I give to my eldest grandson’s wife." Old Master Mu looked at Yan Qianyi, "Qianyi, there aren’t any good projects recently, so for now, this project will be your gift. Don’t think it’s too little."

He also felt that giving a mall wasn’t enough.

It was just that Ah Lie had only recently acknowledged his relationship with the Mu family, so he couldn’t directly offer more. He had to consider the feelings of his other children to some extent.

Yan Qianyi was dumbstruck.

She had thought that Old Master Mu would, at most, buy her an incredibly expensive present.

Well, the man had gone straight to giving away a mall.

Indeed, as expected of the richest man in the Federation Empire, such generosity!

Yan Qianyi declined, "Thank you, Grandpa, but this gift is too valuable. I can’t accept it."

She had just heard Mu Huaner say that the mall had always been planned by Mu Zixuan, and the original management rights and a share of the equity were supposed to be given to Mu Zixuan.

Now Old Master Mu was handing it over to her, wasn’t this going to offend people?

Although she wasn’t afraid of offending people, now that she and Mu Yunlie had come back to engage with the Mu family, their main purpose was to uncover the truth behind Mu Feng’s fall from a building.

As long as the truth of the fall came to light, the so-called "medical accident" during the rescue would also be clarified.

So it was better not to complicate matters further right now.

"It isn’t much, you’ve not only cured the old issue with my leg, but you’re also carrying Ah Lie’s child. This is just a small token of my gratitude, and you must accept it. That’s final!"

Having said that, Old Master Mu hurried Mu Huaner, "Get on with it right now."

Mu Huaner nodded, quite displeased that Yan Qianyi had scored such a great advantage in the Mu Family.

He pondered in his heart that he must delay the process somehow, to see if he could think of a way to make the old man change his mind.

"Alright, Dad, but there are some procedures that need your signature, and there are some details that you need to confirm personally. Let’s go to the study."

"Really, such a trivial matter still requires my personal attention," Old Master Mu said with impatient frown, "Let’s go, let’s go."

Yan Qianyi said, "Grandfather, I’ll go look for Ah Lie then, and take a stroll along the way."

"Fine, you can stroll all you like, but don’t leave. After lunch, you can go."

Yan Qianyi smiled and nodded.

Thinking that Mu Yunlie would be busy talking to the servants and unable to answer voice calls, she sent him a message asking where he was, telling him she was in the garden.

After sending the message, Yan Qianyi strolled alone through the Mu Family’s garden.

To her surprise, she found that the Mu Family’s garden hosted a great variety of flowers, plants, and trees.

Some of them were not visible outside and were the materials she had been looking for a long time that could be used for medicinal purposes!

Like the white flowers in front of her, in the otherworld, they were a very precious medicinal ingredient.

She thought that in this era of high technology, they must have been polluted to extinction.

Yet here they were, growing so well in the Mu Family’s garden!

It seemed that just the upkeep of these flowers, plants, and trees on the Mu estate must cost a fortune every month.

She had heard that even the Royal Palace was not much better compared to the Mu Family estate.

Yan Qianyi bent down, planning to pick a few to take back for alchemy.

The flowers were plucked off along with their long roots.

Just as she picked one, the sound of an argument approached from afar.

She quickly hid herself behind a nearby large tree.

Then she saw Mu Ziqing and Mu Zixuan walking over in her direction.

Mu Ziqing was leading, with Mu Zixuan following behind, shouting loudly:

"Mu Ziqing, stop right there! Are you ignoring me as I’m speaking to you? Are you feeling guilty?"

Mu Ziqing stopped walking, right in front of the big tree where Yan Qianyi was hiding.

She turned back to look at Mu Zixuan, her face full of impatience, "I’m your sister, is this how you talk to your elder sister?"

Mu Zixuan sneered coldly, just as arrogant and domineering as Mu Zicheng.

"You still know you’re the elder sister? Then what were you doing getting so close to your brother-in-law?"

Mu Ziqing frowned and said, "There was nothing, you’re misunderstanding."

"I clearly saw you talking!"

"It was just a chance encounter."

"What were you talking about?"

"Nothing, if you’re that curious, why don’t you ask him? He was the one who approached me, not I..."

Before Mu Ziqing could finish her sentence, Mu Zixuan dished out a slap across her face.
