Chapter 58

Qian Xingye didn't bother with him; what he needed to do most at this moment was to immediately apologize to Mu Yan, to make this great god calm down.

He put on a smiling face and said, "Mr. Mu, it's my fault for not teaching my daughter well, causing this young lady to be wronged. Please, Mr. Mu, consider that they are just children and let it go. I will bring my daughter to apologize in person later."

Seeing Qian Xingye come to apologize, Mu Yan did not immediately respond.

This was not because he was unwilling to accept Qian Xingye's apology or because he wanted to press his advantage. In Mu Yan's view, this was a mistake made by immature children, not adults. Since Qian Xingye had come forward to beg for mercy, he had no intention of pressing his advantage.

The real reason Mu Yan did not speak was that he saw someone, someone he had met before.

Seemingly noticing Mu Yan's gaze, Xu Kaishan also stepped out from the crowd, smiled, and said, "Mr. Mu, we meet again."

Mu Yan smiled and said, "Yes, it's been ten years!"

"I think Mr. Qian didn't know about this, otherwise, this wouldn't have happened. I believe he will handle it properly. What do you think?" Xu Kaishan said.

"Children don't know their own strength; getting hurt might be good for them in the long run," Mu Yan said.

With Mu Yan's words, it was clear he wasn't going to pursue the matter. Qian Xingye immediately rejoiced and said, "Thank you, Young Master Mu."

"Don't call me Young Master Mu; I'm not some rich kid. With things like this, I need to take An An back first!" Mu Yan had no intention of deepening his relationship with this Mr. Qian, so he immediately proposed leaving.

"Right, Miss An has been frightened and needs to rest!" Qian Xingye understood Mu Yan's meaning and did not try to retain him.

Mu Yan, half-hugging An An, walked out directly. He glanced at Chen Jiahui and sternly said, "You, follow me!"

"Yes!" Hearing Mu Yan call him, Chen Jiahui didn't dare to disobey and immediately followed him, ignoring everyone else.

Watching them leave, Wu Yu felt a wave of regret. She knew she had missed a good opportunity. If she hadn't doubted An An and had helped her instead, she might have had a stroke of luck. Unfortunately, she had missed such a good chance.

As Mu Yan and the others left, Qian Xingye turned to Yang Bin, his face ashen, and said, "I never want to see you again!"

Hearing this, Yang Bin felt a chill run through his body, and he collapsed to the ground.

Walking out of the hotel, Chen Jiahui followed Mu Yan and An An, continuing to apologize, "Brother Yan, don't be angry this time. I was really deceived by that woman; otherwise, I wouldn't have done such a foolish thing!"

Mu Yan, looking at Chen Jiahui, was so angry he couldn't find the words. "Jiahui, you're already in your mid-twenties, how can you be so immature? Even if you were deceived, why are you so easily deceived? This time, you offended me, but if it had been someone else, you would have made enemies for your family. With your character, I doubt your family would do much for you, and Aunt Lan would be the one to suffer."

"Brother Yan, I know I'm not much of a success. I'm just a spoiled kid, but I've been trying my best. If I hadn't improved recently, my mother wouldn't have persuaded my father to send me to Donghai!" Chen Jiahui said.

"He's your father, but I don't recognize him. Why did the old man agree to let you come to Donghai?" Mu Yan asked.

"It's because Xiaotong is coming to Donghai for university. Although she hasn't taken the college entrance exam yet, she's decided not to stay in the capital for university. I wanted to get out and breathe some fresh air, so we decided to come here under the pretext of taking care of my sister. With me taking care of Xiaotong, the family is more at ease!" Chen Jiahui said.

"Taking care of your sister? I doubt it. I think the old man knows I'm here, so he let you two come!" Mu Yan sighed.

"Brother Yan, you're right. Dad feels guilty about what happened to you and is worried you might be discouraged, so he sent us to check on you. But now it seems Dad was overthinking it. I knew someone like you wouldn't be discouraged by a little setback. You're living quite comfortably!" Chen Jiahui flattered him, glancing at An An.

An An, hearing their conversation, was already quite surprised. Looking at Mu Yan and Chen Jiahui, she couldn't believe they were actually master and apprentice. Upon closer inspection, although one was fair-skinned and the other slightly darker, they did have a few similarities.

Noticing An An's surprised expression, Mu Yan let her go and said softly, "An An, you know what happened today, but don't tell anyone, okay?"

"Sure, Brother Yan, even if you beat me to death, I won't say a word!" An An immediately promised.

"Hehe, Sister-in-law is really obedient. Brother Yan, I never thought you'd like such a pure and young girl!" Chen Jiahui continued to flatter him with a grin.

"An An isn't my girlfriend. I just came with her today to help her stand up to others," Mu Yan said.

Hearing Mu Yan's words, An An felt a pang in her heart. But she understood that she didn't know who Mu Yan was before, and after what happened today, even if she didn't know his exact identity, she knew he wasn't an ordinary person. She was just a common girl who needed help, and they were from two different worlds. Perhaps only someone like Qingqing would be a match for him.

Just as An An was feeling disheartened, Chen Jiahui said with a grin, "Oh! I see. But Sister-in-law, look at how much Brother protected you from that big villain. He's so heroic. Don't be shy, just agree to be with him!"

"Stop talking nonsense! An An just turned eighteen!" Mu Yan immediately explained, seeing that he had misunderstood.

Chen Jiahui followed, "I know, I can tell, but eighteen is still an adult. Why be shy? My parents were even younger when they got together!"

An An, who had been feeling uncomfortable, was slightly cheered up by this joker, but she still felt very hurt. She knew why but also understood she couldn't do anything about it.

Mu Yan shook his head and said, "Jiahui, stop talking nonsense. Your brother has a girlfriend. An An, ignore this guy; his head is full of nonsense."

"Brother Yan, how can you say that? In the spoiled kids' circle, I'm actually quite kind. Besides, having a girlfriend, so what? You know, in our family, who doesn't have mistresses? Don't tell me you don't have any women besides your so-called official girlfriend!" Chen Jiahui said confidently.

Hearing this, Mu Yan immediately thought of Zixuan and Yu Jing, and for a moment, he had no words to refute him.

Mu Yan's silence, however, made An An's eyes flash with a hint of anger.
