Seeing Nan Sun's dejected expression, Li Mu comforted her, "You did nothing wrong. It was my initiative, so it's not your fault. Let's find a suitable opportunity to explain things properly to Suo Suo."

Jiang Nansun said, "But I still feel sorry for Suosuo."

"Jiaming, I heard from Suosuo that you've liked her since you were little. Do you still like her now?"

Li Mu hesitated for a moment: "We grew up together. Before I met you, I really liked Suosuo. After I met you, my goal changed."

Jiang Nansun asked, "So now! Do you still like Suo Suo?"

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to lie. I still like Suo Suo, but you are the only one I like the most."

Jiang Nansun gave a soft "hmm," his expression a mix of disappointment and joy.

"Jiaming, let's not talk about this with Suo Suo yet. Let me think about it some more and try to find a suitable solution. I don't want to see Suo Suo sad."

Li Mu said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Just let me know if you need my cooperation."

The two chatted for a while longer, and Nan Sun finally let go of some of her worries. Her slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and she gradually fell asleep.

……

After a period of time, the renovation of Dongli's house was officially completed. After letting it air out for a while, Nansun started designing the interior decoration.

As the future mistress of the house, she is happy to be able to decorate her own house freely.

Suo Suo was initially happy for a few days, but when she saw that Li Mu hadn't made any moves, she became a little sad. She knew that her cousin liked Nan Sun.

If it were any other woman, Zhu Suosuo would have already gone to her door and made a scene. But this was her best friend, Nan Sun, closer than blood sisters.

Her cousin likes Nan Sun, and Nan Sun has broken up with Zhang Anren. What reason does she have to stop him? The two have been exchanging glances these past few days, and they might have other contact in private. Does she think she can't see that?

This is precisely Zhu Suosuo's biggest dilemma: on one side is her best friend, and on the other is her cousin whom she likes; she can only choose one.

If I let my best friend have her cousin, he'll end up with someone else; if I fight with my best friend over my cousin, we might not be able to stay friends anymore.

Zhu Suosuo was caught in a dilemma and could only devote all her energy to her work, wishing she could stay at the company 24 hours a day to avoid thinking about these things.

Nan Sun was busy with interior design, Suo Suo was busy with company affairs, while Li Mu was quite leisurely. He would spend a few hours each day completing his work, then drink tea, read books, and enjoy himself.

However, he didn't do nothing. For example, just now, Li Mu went to a well-known private detective agency in the city to complete a small commission.

He remembered that in the drama, there was a man named Da Luo who harassed Nan Sun under the guise of work.

Now that he's around, Nan Sun definitely won't go to work for that company anymore, and she's unlikely to run into Da Luo or be harassed by him.

However, knowing that there is such a person who is still doing well and has not been punished makes me feel unhappy.

What can we do? We can only investigate thoroughly and send the other party to jail.

Judging from the situation in the drama, it's clear that this isn't the first time Da Luo has done something like this. It's just that some victims are timid and don't want to make a big deal out of it, or they are appeased by Da Luo offering sufficient compensation.

This is why it hasn't been exposed yet.

It's too easy to send someone with such a dirty past to jail.

While upholding justice, it also helps to find some fun in a dull life.

Chapter 215 Prodigal

The interior decoration was completed very quickly, in less than a month.

Therefore, Li Mu, Nan Sun, and Suo Suo officially moved to Dong Li.

This 420-square-meter apartment has been decorated with five bedrooms and four living rooms in a stylish and luxurious style. It has an entrance elevator, a dedicated nanny room, and a nanny-only elevator.

The house boasts a variety of luxurious and professional amenities. During this time, Jiang's mother, Dai Yin, visited once. She was one of the few who knew about the relationship between Li Mu and Nan Sun. Upon seeing the house, she was finally relieved about Nan Sun's future.

Even if the Jiang family goes bankrupt, Nan Sun's standard of living will not decline.

During this period, Quarkcoin's price steadily climbed, soaring all the way to break through four thousand, five thousand, and six thousand US dollars...

Unable to grasp the subsequent market trends, Li Mu sold all his QuarkCoins when the price was right, cashing out nearly 11 million US dollars, which was converted into more than 70 million RMB.

Zhongyou Technology has also developed well, with two games performing above average. While they haven't made big money, they've earned tens of millions in just a few months.

They weren't extremely wealthy, but they lived a comfortable and fulfilling life.

That evening, Nan Sun had just attended her grandmother's birthday banquet when she was woken up early the next morning by her cell phone. She climbed out of Li Mu's arms to answer the call and received shocking news: Jiang's father was missing.

He disappeared after attending the birthday banquet yesterday and didn't return home for almost the entire night.

Nan Sun immediately realized that her father was completely unable to hold on, otherwise he wouldn't have gone so far as to disappear.

Thinking of those people on TV who lost money in the stock market and then went to their wits' end... my heart skipped a beat. Father, please don't do anything foolish.

Li Mu also woke up at this time.

"Nan Sun, what's wrong?"

Jiang Nansun was in a panic, but upon hearing his words, she felt as if she had found her pillar of support and hugged Li Mu tightly.

“My dad went to my grandma’s birthday banquet last night and then disappeared. We can’t reach him by phone, and none of the people we know know him.”

Do you think something might happen to him?

Li Mu patted her back and comforted her, "Don't scare yourself. Your uncle is a grown man with a grandmother to support and you to take care of. Even if I'm irresponsible, I can't just ignore everything and leave this mess for you to clean up."

"Don't worry, maybe he's being chased by debt collectors and is just going to hide for a while."

Jiang Nansun's emotions finally stabilized.

She looked at Li Mu with hopeful eyes: "Can you come home with me? There are only my grandma and my mom left at home now. Without a man to support them, they must be very worried."

Li Mu stroked the strands of hair on her forehead and kissed her rosy cheek.

"Don't be so polite with me. Let's go! Let's wash up, go downstairs for some breakfast, and then we'll head over."

Jiang Nansun nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

After breakfast, the two hurried to Nansun's house.

The one who opened the door was Jiang's mother, Dai Yin. She had been frowning, but when she saw Nan Sun and Li Mu coming together, her face lit up with joy.

"Nan Sun, Jia Ming, why are you here so early?"

Jiang Nansun said, "We were worried! We came right away after receiving your call. Where's Grandma?"

Dai Yin said, "Your grandmother is old and went to bed late yesterday; she's still resting."

Then he warmly greeted Li Mu: "Jiaming, this is your first visit since you and Nansun confirmed your relationship, and you've already encountered this kind of situation. I apologize for the neglect."

"Come in and sit down. Because of complicated family matters, you two haven't been able to go public with your relationship, and I feel quite embarrassed about it."

Li Mu said, "Auntie, you're too kind. We're all family here. My relationship with Nan Sun can't be made public for the time being, and it's for our own good."

Dai Yin said with relief, "I'm relieved that you think this way. You know what our family is like now, Nan Sun's father... sigh..."

"It was only a matter of time before the family got to this point. Nan Sun's father won't stop until he's completely ruined the family. If he finds out about your relationship with Nan Sun, he'll feel like he has something to rely on, and he'll definitely keep his ways and try every means to get money from you. Who knows what shameful things he might do."

"It's fine as it is now. Don't let Nan Sun's father know about your relationship until he has completely reformed. It will only affect your relationship."

Li Mu said, "Yes, Auntie is right."

Nan Sun hurriedly interjected, "Mom, Dad hasn't come home all night. Should we go out and look for him? Or call the police?"

Dai Yin waved her hand and said, "No need to go out. I know him. He's very timid. He's probably being chased for debts and is hiding because he's scared. He'll come back when things calm down."

"It's enough that you can come and keep me company. Just wait for him to come back at home."

Next, Li Mu chatted with Dai Yin, accompanied Nan Sun to see her boudoir, and after Grandma Jiang got up, she chatted with her some more.

Around 10 a.m., there was a knock on the door. Nan Sun thought it was her father returning, so she got up to open the door, and Li Mu also stood up and followed.

Standing outside the door were three unfamiliar burly men.

"Excuse me, is this Jiang Pengfei's home?"

Nan Sun's heart tightened, and she asked in confusion, "Yes, who are you?"

One of the burly men asked, "Is Mr. Jiang home?"

Nan Sun asked, "My father isn't here. What do you want with him?"

The burly man laughed and said, "You're his daughter, would it be convenient for us to come in and talk?"

Nansun looked at Li Mu, who nodded: "What is it? Come in and talk!"

Several people filed in and then sat down on the sofa.

Li Mu said, "Sit down, and speak frankly!"

The man in the lead nodded: "It's like this, Mr. Jiang borrowed 1.8 million yuan from us three years ago, and it's already overdue. We gave him a grace period and agreed to repay it today, but we haven't been able to get through to him by phone since last night, so we had to come to his house to check on him."

Li Mu nodded: "What is the total amount, including principal and interest?"

The burly man said, "This is the IOU we wrote back then. Take a look. We are a legitimate financial institution, not a loan shark. The principal plus interest, plus late fees, totals two million three hundred thousand."

As he spoke, he showed the IOU bearing the fingerprint and seal of Chiang's father.

Li Mu took a look and saw no problem. Over three years, the principal of 1.8 million yuan would only generate 500,000 yuan in interest and late fees, which wasn't much.

He then handed the IOU to Jiang's mother and Nan Sun, who each glanced at it.

Dai Yin said, "My husband isn't home. Could you wait a couple more days until he comes back, and then I'll have him come to you?"

The leading man shook his head: "No need for that. One of us can stay and wait for Mr. Jiang. We'll resolve this whenever he returns."
