CHAPTER 493: CHAPTER 493: GUARDING AGAINST HER

Yan Chuhua looked perplexedly at the paper. "Who is Mu Chen?"

Yan Qianyi said, "First, jot down these questions. If you can’t remember them, store them in your personal system. I’ll show you a picture of Mu Chen in a bit."

Her plan was to have Yan Chuhua ask Mu Chen questions in front of everyone, prompting him to confess everything.

Once Mu Chen confessed his crimes, she also had her mother’s diary to serve as physical evidence of the situation at the time.

And Li Ying would be the witness.

After all, coming from the Mu family, relying solely on the words elicited from Yan Chuhua’s hypnosis might not convince the members of the Mu family.

With this evidence and Mu Chen’s own confession under hypnosis, his explanations would be useless after he woke up.

Yan Chuhua glanced over the content on the paper and gasped in shock, looking incredulously at Yan Qianyi.

"Is this Mu Chen so bad? Oh my! I thought only the Royal Family was so cunning."

The last time Yan Qianyi had her help with hypnosis on Yan Ruyi, those questions also shocked her.

She had always thought that only people from the Royal Family would harm their loved ones for power.

It turned out that common people would also ignore familial ties for personal gain.

Yan Chuhua asked, "But Qianyi, what does the matter of the Mu family have to do with you? Although Mu Feng died in your family’s hospital, it has nothing to do with your family, right?"

"Mu Yunlie is the eldest grandson of the Mu family, and Mu Feng was his father," Yan Qianyi honestly answered.

Anyway, she would be taking Yan Chuhua to the Mu family soon, and Yan Chuhua would find out Mu Yunlie’s identity.

To avoid Yan Chuhua acting like a curious baby with endless questions at the Mu family, it was better to tell her now.

Yan Chuhua blinked in astonishment and exclaimed, "Wow, Teacher Mu’s family background is really impressive! His grandfather is a Duke, and his grandfather is the head of the wealthiest family."

Yan Qianyi smiled faintly and said, "A wealthy and noble family might have money and power, but their family atmosphere isn’t as happy and joyful as that of ordinary families."

"That’s true," Yan Chuhua agreed and pouted, "My closest ones are only daddy and mommy. I’m not close with my siblings, and yet, even daddy and mommy, to align with the Federation Empire, disregard my personal happiness to force me to marry Xia Ziyu."

"Yes, hence ordinary people harbor their own simple joys."

Yan Qianyi recalled her childhood.

At that time, Yan’s business wasn’t as big, and Yan Hong treasured her like a precious jewel in his hands.

She didn’t know when everything had changed.

Money and power charmed the heart, and Yan Hong, to preserve Yan’s, was even willing to auction her off like a commodity.

Four o’clock in the afternoon.

Yan Qianyi took Yan Chuhua to the Mu family.

In the car, she asked Yan Chuhua, "Have you memorized all the questions?"

"Don’t worry, I’ve memorized every single word."

"And you’ve remembered what Mu Chen looks like?"

"Of course, although Mu Chen is a villain, I must say, the Mu family’s genes are really good. I never forget a good-looking person."

Yan Qianyi smiled, suddenly understanding why she and Yan Chuhua had become good friends.

They were both obsessed with looks, always drawn to attractive people.

As they were close to reaching the Mu family, Mu Huaner sent a voice message to Yan Qianyi.

Yan Qianyi did not pick up.

She guessed that Mu Huaner, calling at this moment, probably knew she was going to the Mu family tonight and wanted to stop her.

Indeed, when the car reached the gate of the Mu Family, Yan Qianyi saw Mu Huaner standing there.

Yan Qianyi wanted to ignore her and drive through, but Mu Huaner blocked the front of her car.

She was forced to stop the car and rolled down the window, raising an eyebrow at Mu Huaner, "What’s this, little aunt? Not welcoming me?"

Mu Huaner walked up to the car, about to say something when she suddenly noticed another person sitting in the car, which made her pause.

After a moment’s hesitation, Mu Huaner smiled, "Of course I’m welcoming you. The Old Master called everyone back, saying you were coming, and I came out especially to meet you."

Having said that, Mu Huaner got into the car uninvited.

She glanced at Yan Chuhua, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "The Old Master didn’t mention you were bringing a friend."

Yan Qianyi introduced, "She’s my best friend. She was free, so I brought her along. After all, as the Mu Family’s eldest daughter-in-law, I am quite proud."

Mu Huaner smiled, "Welcome."

Yan Chuhua turned and nodded at Mu Huaner with a smile.

She sensed that the atmosphere between Yan Qianyi and this woman was very strange.

Yan Qianyi didn’t give any instructions, so she dared not say much, lest she slip up.

The car drove toward the estate.

Mu Huaner asked Yan Qianyi, "Why didn’t Ah Lie come back with you?"

Yan Qianyi answered, "He’s been quite busy lately. I came back on his behalf to visit Grandpa."

Mu Huaner questioned, "Is it really just to visit Old Master?"

Yan Qianyi looked at Mu Huaner in the rearview mirror and countered, "What else could it be?"

"It had better be that," Mu Huaner seemed a bit tense.

She worried that Yan Qianyi had come back today to show the diary to the Old Master.

"There’s no need to be so nervous, little aunt, I know what you’re worried about," Yan Qianyi said. "If some people are innocent, I can’t possibly twist the truth, and neither Ah Lie nor Grandpa are the type to easily believe one-sided stories, so you really don’t need to be so wary of me."

Mu Huaner pressed her lips together and remained silent.

In fact, she didn’t fully trust that her second brother was innocent.

She was just somewhat afraid to face the result and the truth.

After all, whether it was her second brother or her third brother, they were very important family members to her.

After stopping the car, Mu Huaner got out and said, "Old Master is fighting crickets in the study. Let me take you there."

"No need, I know the way," Yan Qianyi declined. "It’s my friend’s first time at the Mu’s, and I want to give her a personal tour. You don’t mind, do you, little aunt?"

Mu Huaner pondered for a moment. If Yan Qianyi was going to show Shu Meng’s diary to Old Master, following her around wouldn’t be useful.

So, she nodded, "Okay, then see you at the restaurant later."

Yan Qianyi walked off with Yan Chuhua.

Yan Chuhua let out a long sigh of relief, "I couldn’t talk the whole way, nearly suffocated me."

"It’s not like I told you not to talk."

"I didn’t want to slip up, I came here on a mission today and couldn’t afford any mistakes."

Seeing Yan Chuhua’s serious expression, Yan Qianyi smiled.

"Come on, I’ll take you to meet Old Master Mu. He’s a very easygoing old man, don’t be nervous. Relax and do whatever you want, just don’t mess up at the crucial moment."

"True, what am I nervous about?" Yan Chuhua linked arms with Yan Qianyi, "As the best friend of the Mu Family’s eldest daughter-in-law, I’m proud."
