The lie was like a double-edged blade. It could injure the opponent and himself. Perhaps no one thought that it would hurt the other, and so they ignored it. However, no one underestimated the danger.

In the end, the ones suffering were him and the people who cared about each other.

Lin Xu was like this, Gu Anning was like this, but the matter outside the country had already turned upside down, so no one was harmed right? It was just that it caused him a great deal of pain.

Gu Anning lowered his eyes, "Lin Xu, thank you."

"Sister-in-law …" I'm sorry. " Lin Xu lowered his eyes, concealing the pain in his eyes.

Hearing that, Gu Anning shook his head and sighed, "Lin Xu, don't take this mistake on yourself, didn't you warn me before? So put it down, what are you going to do next? "

"As a new official, with the old city being developed, the Mu Family will not let City A continue to be disorderly like this." Lin Xu said.

Gu Anning nodded his head when he heard it. The atmosphere in A City should have dispersed by now, but he did not know if the political revolution should lead to prosperity or if it should lead to another abyss.

Lin Xu saw Gu Anning's pondering look, and said: "Sister-in-law, you should recognize the new successor, your stepfather, Mu Jingxuan."

"It's him?" Gu Anning said in surprise.

She had not thought that her stepfather had such a great background. She had only thought that he was an ordinary doctor, but she had not expected that he had hidden himself so deeply.

"En, I'm afraid you haven't heard anything about the Mu Family, right?" En, I'm afraid you haven't heard anything about the Mu Family, right? Lin Xu said as he recalled.

"Family?" Gu Anning asked doubtfully.

Lin Xu said: "That family is the gang leader of City S, and I don't know what happened to Mu Jingxuan, but the moment he sneaked in, two years later, he completely took care of that family, and because of that, he also missed your mother."

"No wonder …" Gu Anning laughed softly. If Mu Jingxuan came back, there would be no matter what happened to her father.

However, the moment he heard this, he was afraid that the gangs would be in trouble.

Lin Xu saw that Gu Anning was deep in thought, and paused, the remaining matters should not be too important, but in the end, he regretted that he did not finish his words, and that it had caused some unavoidable pain.

"Which street do you want for the development of the old city?" Gu Anning glanced at Lin Xu, his lips curled slightly, and said indifferently, "The business street or as a real estate developer?"

"I can fuse them." Lin Xu answered. Up till now, no one had said whether or not the city center would be moved away in the future.

Gu Anning shook his head, and gently placed the spoon down, "How much do you know about the history of that street? The inhabitants did not give their consent. "

"As long as it's approved, we can negotiate with them." Lin Xu said. His plans were perfect from the start, as for coordination, he did not care.

Gu Anning was clear about Lin Xu, but at the same time, she was clear on that street. Hundreds of years of history had passed just like that.

"Lin Xu, I won't move on that street." Gu Anning looked into Lin Xu's eyes and said seriously.

Lin Xu was startled when he heard it, and immediately asked, "Why? That is the best chance for Lin's disease to make a comeback."

"As I said, I don't agree with this street." Gu Anning repeated himself, still persisting as before, while Lin Xu held onto his own thoughts, as the two of them stood in a deadlock in the sickroom.

At the same time, three generations of people were sitting in the great hall within the old house in Mu Family. Mu Jingxuan stood upright in front of everyone and faced the old man who was sitting down, Patriarch Mu, with a cold and detached expression.

Patriarch Mu s hand that was holding onto his walking stick heavily smashed on the smooth ground, his face was filled with seriousness and disgust, "I don't agree!"

"Heh, I'm just an illegitimate child, father." Mu Jingxuan smiled at the person who treated him well, and could not help but feel some pain in his heart. This was his last wish, and as his father, he still had to reject it.

Hearing Mu Jingxuan's words, Patriarch Mu was so angry that his eyes turned red, "So what, you want to marry a woman with a dead husband? She still has children, do you know how much of an impact this will have on your career?"

"So?" Mu Jingxuan calmly faced the Patriarch Mu, parted his lips and laughed, "So I will marry the future daughter-in-law that you think highly of, based on your wishes? Become a puppet like elder brother? Or do you want to assassinate the person I think highly of, and make me the same as the second brother? "

When Patriarch Mu heard this, he was angered, but he did not say anything. In his life, he had done a lot of things, but when it came to his son, he had always been worried and worried. One of them had chosen to stir up trouble and become his first daughter-in-law, and the other had indirectly killed his second daughter-in-law.

Mu Jingxuan did not want the Patriarch Mu to suffer, but he did not want to be manipulated again.

"My good father, do you remember the conditions you promised me all those years ago!?" Mu Jingxuan took a step forward, his cold eyes meeting Patriarch Mu's eyes, and mocked softly, "Could it be that you forgot? Someone who can sell their son? "

"Mu Jingxuan!" Patriarch Mu gave a low growl and called out to Mu Jingxuan, an unnatural flush appearing on his face.

Hearing this, Mu Jingxuan laughed even more heartily, "That's right, someone who can sell his son to be a spy for the people, he really is a good official."

"As long as the people from the Mu Family are alive, they have to sacrifice their country!" This idea had been passed down since his ancestors, but now his son had become like this.

He had a strong suspicion that something had gone wrong with his education. He was a successful man who was admired from the outside, but he was a complete failure at home. Both wives had died in politics.

As a result, his youngest son also believed that he was just an illegitimate child and that no one would be willing to take the identity of Mu Family. If his mother did not leave behind his name, he probably wouldn't even want to take his surname.

Mu Jingxuan clenched his fists and turned around, "I'm in politics, but don't interfere with my life! This is the last time Mu Zhiheng will see you as his son. The next time we will be colleagues. "

The cup in Mu Zhiheng's hand fell to the ground, his drooping face making it difficult for others to see the expression on his face.

Seeing that, Mu grandpa extended his hand and patted Mu Zhiheng's back for a long time, but his voice was extremely cold, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Mu Zhiheng raised his head, leaning on his walking stick as he stood up shakily. His son was already forty years old, and seventy to eighty percent of his old man had already retired, but his heart was still concerned about the country. That was where he gave birth to them.

When Mu grandpa saw this, he retracted his hand, and turned to look at his son, "Go and help your grandfather." After saying that, he strode out of the door, leaving a sentence behind, "I won't be back tonight."

With that, he walked out without looking back, leaving the grandfather and grandson pair alone in the spacious room.

"Grandfather, I understand you." The grandson held Mu Zhiheng's hand, his eyes flashing with admiration. "Only when the nation is rich and strong can people look up to us, and everyone can straighten their backs!"

When Mu Zhiheng heard this, he let out a long sigh and reached out to stroke his grandson's shoulder. He couldn't help but cry.

The core of being rich and powerful was to let the children be able to support the heavens and become heroes!

Outside, Mu grandpa drove the car to follow Mu Jingxuan's beloved car, forcing Mu Jingxuan to park the car on the road.

Mu Jingxuan scratched his head as he looked at the man floating in front of him. Then, he got off the car impatiently, "Why do you want to be a lobbyist too?"

"You think I do?" Mu grandpa got off the carriage and lit up a cigarette, he leaned on Mu Jingxuan and laughed, and after a long while he nodded his head, "You have aged quite a bit, but your personality has not changed, perseverance is not a good quality."

"You came here to say that?" Mu Jingxuan looked at the person in front of him coldly, but the more he looked at him, the more he felt like beating the person up.

At their age, there were very few things that would be able to affect their emotions. Everyone had matured, but every time they came to the old dwelling of the Mu Family, Mu Jingxuan would want to beat them up.

They all clearly knew about it, but no one told him about it. It was only when he finally returned to A City that he found out about the fact that Jiang Yue was forced to marry someone! If not for them, how could he and Jiang Yue be in such a miserable state?

"You can't reminisce about the past just because you're a brother?" There was not a single ripple in Mu grandpa's calm eyes. It was as if those words were simply an ordinary matter.

It might be normal for normal people, but for this pair of brothers, it was especially unusual. The two of them had never had a proper chat before.

Mu grandpa acted as if he did not see Mu Jingxuan's surprised expression, and threw over a jar of wine, "I remember that you like this taste the most, A-Jing."

"..." What is your purpose? " Mu Jingxuan frowned, looked at the wine in his hand and pursed his lips.

Mu grandpa opened the wine jar and took a sip. He tilted his head and looked at Mu Jingxuan, smiling: "Why can't I drink with you? Or do you think that we can only scheme in the Mu Family? We can't deny that we let you down with that incident back then, but even if we had to do it again, we would still do it. "

"You and him really are father and son." Mu Jingxuan gritted his teeth.

Mu grandpa heard and laughed. He shook his head: "I am not like him, but I agree with him, the weak bullying the weak."

"…" Mu Jingxuan's hand stopped, and after a long while, he laughed at himself. Even though it was the truth, he still felt annoyed that someone was forcing him.

Furthermore, at that time he trusted them so much, and for the sake of important matters, they had abandoned him, causing Mu Jingxuan's heart to grow even more furious.

Mu grandpa looked at Mu Jingxuan's current expression indifferently. He lowered his eyes. If he had truly told Mu Jingxuan everything, with his impulsive personality back then, he wouldn't even be able to keep his life. Not to mention Jiang Yue's parents and his underworld background.
