Here, after Mu Fu and Tan Yue'an arrived at Tan Mansion, several concubines stood at the door to greet them.
"I thought you and Miss Mu had a falling out and reconciled so quickly?" The second aunt couldn't help but joke.
"That's an expedient measure. The people below were watching her eagerly before, but I didn't go looking for her every day." Tan Yue'an smiled from ear to ear: "Now I can just drag her to the house to play cards with you every day."
"Miss Mu studied economics abroad. Just to come back and help Young Master Mu, you drag people over to play cards with us every day. It's really a waste of talent."
"Oh, so you understand this." Tan Yue'an felt like he had discovered a new world.
"I have learned a lot about it, so my eldest brother sent me abroad for this reason." Mu Fu was extremely modest: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's continue playing cards."
She glanced at Adjutant Guo who was walking over, and it seemed that something had happened.
"Okay, you will stay with us all day today, and then go play with your son. We don't dare to disturb your love affair." The fourth aunt couldn't help but joke as she looked at Tan Yue'an's retreating back.
"Look at what you said, why did you call it a love affair when I came here? Maybe Commander Tan already has someone else in mind."
Several people kept touching the cards and then played the cards out again. After a while, someone touched them.
"Although there are many girls around him, he basically only has casual acquaintances with them and has no words. Only you, we feel that he treats you special, as if he has liked you for a long time." Dai Yu
Mu Fu sat down and explained.
"But I've seen him since I was a kid, so I can't tell him when he looks like this." Mu Fu smiled awkwardly, having known better that he wouldn't have discussed this topic.
"It's no wonder. When Lao Tan was still here, your parents were also there. The friendship between the two parties was very deep, and the children often played together. Now..." The third aunt couldn't help but sigh, seeing the second aunt's
Color, he quickly stopped talking.
"What now?" She pretended to be a curious baby and continued to ask.
"It's nothing, it's very good now. Mu Jing cooperated with the military, and the business was booming." The second aunt patted her neighbor and told Mu Fu not to think too much.
The third aunt's tone clearly meant that the Mu family was now estranged from the Tan family, but she didn't know how much these aunts knew about what happened eight years ago.
"It's okay, I'll take the cards."
In Commander Tan's study, Guo Xuwen was reporting to Commander Tan a photo he had found.
"This is..." Tan Yue'an looked in disbelief after taking the photo.
What appears above is a medical student and Mu Fu in a white coat standing in the crowd taking pictures. Mu Fu is talking very naturally to the male classmates standing aside.
"Didn't the girl you investigated last time study economics?"
"I'm also very surprised? Why does the eldest daughter of the Mu family appear in the medical school? It's a boys' school over there."
"No... there are two younger sisters in the Mu family, or is it that Mr. Mu had a small family of his own outside?" Adjutant Guo couldn't help but daydream: "The behavior and movements above are similar to those of our Mr. Mu.
The lady is different, not to mention holding a scalpel."
“Where did you get this picture?”
"It's one of my subordinates. His cousin is studying at the Medical University. He often talks about a young and beautiful visiting professor. Since he went to Wuyang City, he has never come back to teach in the school. Because the professor is always humorous.
He couldn't help but miss him. The school was holding an event at that time, so he kept a photo like this."
"Did you say what your name was?"
"My name seems to be Li Jinyou, but I can't tell if I'm not Miss Mu. I always feel like they don't get along."
"You should investigate this matter secretly and don't let Fu'er find out. If it is really Mu Yao's little wife, it may cause trouble to them."
"Understood." Guo Xuwen solemnly withdrew, leaving only Tan Yue'an sitting in the chair looking at the photo.
It was so similar. Is Mr. Mu a person who likes to raise a wife outside? He was a little confused.
The Mu family has such a strict family tradition. Mu Yao always goes out early and comes back late. I haven't heard of any quarrels between her parents.
At this time, Cai'er received feedback from Mu's house about the latent information she had previously handled, and she was so anxious that she came to find Mu Fu alone.
The two men at home looked confused, "What happened? Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"
The little beggar just now was obviously the beggar who helped Mu Fu deliver a message to Mu Fu's house before. Something must have happened when he came to deliver the message this time.
Liu Limao frowned and secretly said, "Isn't it because she often shows up to teach in major schools that the photos were lost?"
He thought of the photo in his drawer and decided to burn it quickly. He couldn't let his eldest brother find out that she had returned to China early.
Mu Cai arrived at Tan Mansion, and the waiters invited people in.
She went directly to the living room and found several concubines playing cards with the young lady.
Mu Fu looked at her panic and couldn't help but tease her to divert her attention: "I asked you to come, but you didn't come. Why did you want to come over now?"
"It's okay, I just haven't been with the lady for a while, so I followed her because I was worried." Cai'er breathed a long sigh of relief, adjusted her posture and stood beside her.
"Nothing happened at home." The fourth aunt was a little worried, suspecting that playing cards had affected their conversation.
"As long as eldest brother is here, nothing will happen. Fourth aunt is really worried."
After a card game, when Mu Fu was on his way to the toilet, Cai'er finally found a chance to speak.
"What, two photos can't be found?" Mu Fu was very horrified.
"One of those two photos was the principal of a primary school who was lost, and the other was a student in the university who was lost." Mu Cai explained.
"The photo from the principal of the elementary school was given to a new teacher. That teacher was a telegraph player and had already found out where he lived. The photo from the college student's room was said to have been taken away by an officer because his cousin said that
The girl in the white coat in the photo was the one the officer liked more. If he wanted to pursue her, he took the photo away first."
Mu Fu's legs weakened after hearing this: "Get the photo in the teacher's hand first, and then quickly find out which officer took the photo of the university student."
"Could it be that we were too anxious, and maybe they wouldn't recognize it at all?"
"It doesn't matter if someone doesn't recognize her. Why can't the eldest brother recognize her? There is a younger sister in the family. There are no brothers or sisters on the father's side, so where can people who look the same come out?"
"I'll check again."
"You should stay here today. You just made excuses to come here, and now you find excuses to go out. People must think that something happened to us." Mu Fu calmed down and said calmly.
"Understood, let's go back together tonight."
Commander Tan thought hard to no avail, so he came out to chat with Fu'er to see how they were playing cards, but found that Mu Fu was not there.
"Where's Fu'er?"
"She went to the bathroom." The second aunt smiled and said, "Cai'er is following her too, so I can't lose her. Why don't you go to the kitchen to see what food you are going to make for us today."
"Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen and take a look first."
At this time, Mu Fu straightened up his manners and walked in.
"Long wait, concubines."
"What a coincidence, Yue'an went to the kitchen to see what we had for lunch today, otherwise you could have talked for a while." The third aunt said the polite words with a smile.
"Commander Tan is so busy, how can he have time to take care of me? Let's continue playing cards."
Mu Cai'er stood aside and poured tea for them, carrying various snacks delivered from the kitchen.
"Did you win poker today?" Tan Yue'an walked in from the backyard with a smile on his face.
"I've only been playing cards for a few days, how could I beat several concubines? I just gave them money to play." Mu Fu pouted, looking uncomfortable.
"Then the relationship is good, let these mothers buy you more gifts when the time comes." His smile was like a spring breeze, making Cai'er standing aside couldn't help but lower her head.
"Commander Tan still wears military uniform at home, making his home look like an office." Cai'er muttered in a low voice.
"It's my fault. Go and change immediately. People who usually hang out in the military camp are used to wearing these." Tan Yue'an returned to his room, changed his clothes and came out.
Mu Fu scolded the girl next to her while explaining to Commander Tan: "This girl has been spoiled by me since she was a child. You can dress however you want, don't care what we say."
"It's okay, Cai'er is right. Home and workplace should be separated, otherwise it will look like you have moved work to your home." Tan Yue'an's backcombed hairstyle looked particularly energetic against the backdrop of his suit.
"Commander Tan, why don't you also come for a round?"
"No, I've never played in Yue'an, so I can only watch us play." The second aunt took her hand and patted it: "Let's continue."
"Yue'an, if you are bored, just read a book and call us later during lunch."
"Moms, my girlfriend will stay with you until now. I want to take people out for a walk now. Shanghai has changed a lot in the past few years. I guess she has many places she wants to visit." Tan Yue'an said.
He sat up on the chair and pulled Mu Fu's neighbor to run out. Cai'er and Adjutant Guo could only follow behind.
"This kid is going to eat soon, why are you running?"
"Maybe they think us old guys are an eyesore. Ignore them. Let's bring a girl over and continue playing."
The group got in the car and went to the area near Shanghai Medical University.
Tan Yue'an rolled his eyes at Adjutant Guo: Does this guy want Mu Fu to know that there is someone like her here?
