Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Searching for So Many Years
"I say, old man, Haiyun rarely comes back, why are you still reading the newspaper? Have a good chat."
Mu Qinghan frowned slightly and glanced at Grandma Mu.
Grandma Mu also frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the old man’s attitude.
"I have some matters to attend to in the study. Haiyun, spend some time chatting with your grandma."
Mu Qinghan looked at Mu Haiyun, but before Mu Haiyun could speak, he got up and headed to the study.
As the study door closed, a flicker of light crossed Mu Haiyun’s eyes again.
After all these years, she still couldn’t fathom her grandfather’s thoughts.
What was mentioned earlier was said by her grandma, but grandfather clearly disliked it.
Yet, since she became the Mu Family’s heir, she knew that her grandfather’s favorite grandchild was her elder brother.
Even now, her elder brother still held an important place in her grandfather’s heart.
If it weren’t for her brother’s insistence on taking their maternal surname, she knew better than anyone who the rightful heir was.
Thinking of the brother who had been extremely averse to her since childhood, even hostile, Mu Haiyun felt a tumult of emotions.
——
Mu Family, study.
Mu Qinghan sat down on the chair behind the desk, his mind flashing with what his granddaughter Mu Haiyun had just said, his frown deepening.
His slightly dim eyes flickered sharply when they caught sight of the bottom drawer of the desk, and he bent over suddenly to pull it open.
The drawer was starkly empty, containing only a deep yellow envelope, seemingly aged, with slightly crumpled corners as if it had been soaked in water and then dried by the wind.
Mu Qinghan reached to pick up the envelope, then seemed to think of something, hesitatingly let out a soft sigh, slowly closed the drawer, and looked mournful.
Just then, his phone rang.
"Master."
"Is there news?"
"There’s a slight lead, it’s said that..."
Before the person on the other end could finish, Mu Qinghan suddenly interrupted.
"Come back immediately, to my study!"
"Yes, Master!"
Half an hour later, a chubby middle-aged man entered the Mu Family’s old house, warmly greeting Grandma Mu and Mu Haiyun in the living room.
"Ma’am, Miss."
Grandma Mu just smiled, nodded, which counted as a greeting.
Mu Haiyun smiled gracefully and warmly, her voice gentle.
"Uncle Jiang, you’re here to see Grandpa, right? He’s in the study. Do go in, and stay for dinner with us later."
Jiang Dachun chuckled amiably, exchanged a few polite words, and quickly entered the study.
Just as Jiang Dachun entered, Grandma Mu’s smile vanished instantly, tinged with anger.
"We’ve been searching for so many years without any news, still hoping to find anything now?"
Mu Haiyun paused slightly, wondering whom her grandma was referring to, feeling a complex jumble of emotions again.
In fact, she had a sister.
But because they were half-sisters and she had never appeared at the Mu Family’s old house over the years, she almost forgot such a person existed.
Noticing her grandma’s changing expression, Mu Haiyun smiled gently, soothing her softly.
"Grandma, Grandpa has his determination, thinking that she’s ultimately part of our Mu Family. If she can be found, it’s for the best."
Seeing her grandma’s face looking very unpleasant, Mu Haiyun thought that the existence of the sister she never met was a thorn in her grandma’s heart, and quickly explained.
"Grandma, Grandpa has been searching for so many years without finding her, this time might be no different."
Old Mrs. Mu’s expression eased slightly.
