From the start of the funeral, I tried my best to gather my emotions. When Mu Huainan came in, I took the opportunity and without wasting any time, I ran in front of him and started crying non-stop. I pulled Mu Huainan's hand in front of everyone and started crying.

As I cried, I quietly wiped away the snot on Mu Huainan's chest.

… ….

Taking half a step forward, he is half a head taller than me, looking down from above without a smile: "Master Lu and Madam suddenly passed away, leaving behind so many matters, our Mubai, as friends of Master Lu, will definitely not stand by and do nothing."

After hearing this, I felt half reassured. However, his words were still unclear, and were not clear enough in the end.

I looked up again, my eyes red and pathetic.

"Mubai, you will properly settle my parents, that pile of debts, and that bankrupt company. The old man with the machete will never come after me again, will he? I can finally get a good night's sleep in the lonely night, right? You have watched me grow up, so you definitely won't stand by and do nothing, right? "

After a few consecutive retorts, I could clearly see that Mu Huainan's veins were slightly popping from anger. He was trying his best to endure it and give face to the deceased.

Furthermore, he must be very strange, why did he say "watch me grow up"? He also looks like he's around seven or eight years older than me, and I have never seen him before too, so this sentence was just to show off my feelings and to make everyone pity me a little. Only then, Mu Huainan would not reject me.

Mu Huainan didn't reply to that. The entire scene was extremely cold, I bitterly looked at that paralyzed face, and after a few sobs, my mucus couldn't help but flow down.

I wanted to wipe his sleeve.

However, he pulled me away with such force that I wasn't able to stand still for a moment, so I staggered back two steps and fell to the ground.

The pain in my ass made me feel like, this time do not touch porcelain when? He raised his head and was about to cry, but when he opened his mouth, he met Mu Huainan's sinister eyes. The chill instantly penetrated my back and I couldn't help but shiver.

"Mubai is just an outsider. At most, I'll help you with some matters. As for the rest, I'll have to leave it to him to handle." It was the male assistant again, reaching out politely to help me up.

However, since I have been preparing for so many days, it is all for the sake of successfully reaching the mountain of Mu Huainan. If I fail today, not only will the Lu Family lose all their face, I will also let that group of people who are chasing after debts sell to the brothels sooner or later!

It's death anyway, so I might as well leave it at that.

"Since that's the case, why don't I become your wife in Uncle Huainan? Before I was born, my mother told me to wait until my child was born to recognize you as her godfather, after all these years, I have never called you by that name. Today, in front of so many people, I will call you 'godfather', and you can forgive me for all these years!"

Mu Huainan's face was ashen, his eyes were like that of a wolf's, causing anyone who saw him to tremble, as though he would turn into a ferocious beast and swallow me whole at any moment.

I have to work hard to survive. So what if I have lost my identity, if I don't lose my life? In the future, I will definitely make everyone look at me in a new light.

I sat on the ground, shifted my butt closer to Mu Huainan, tugged at his pants legs, and with a shameless yet bashful look, I said: "Since you are my foster father, if my father leaves, you are my biological father. "Then my business is your business …" The more I spoke, the softer my voice got. Even with my determination to risk my life, the moment I approached Mu Huainan, I was still intimidated by his aura.

I couldn't help but shiver. In my heart, I had a feeling that as he approached Mu Huainan, it was as though he had entered a bottomless black hole. The hole was getting colder and colder, and it was getting more and more frightening.

There were whispers around, and I could hear a few sentences, which were nothing more than "The Lu family's daughter is really bold, even Mu Huainan dares to scheme against her … …"

Sigh, it's not that I can't make a move on Mu Huainan, but it's just that the goods that my family owes me are dealt with by Mu Huainan, who eats both sides of the deal.

If I could avoid looking for Mu Huainan, I wouldn't have to blame myself for bumping into him. Although I have been studying abroad since I was young, I have heard a bit about this fellow's reputation, so I only have three words for him.

Vicious, cold-blooded, and extremely shrewd.

Time passed quietly, and at the moment when I could no longer hold on and wished that I could cut my stomach in half, a hand suddenly appeared in front of me.

Long, slender, fair, and with distinct bones. It was truly an excellent pair of hands.

I looked up along those two hands. It was Mu Huainan's bottomless black eyes.

"F * ck …" "Damn dad..." My voice is like a mosquito's. After all, no matter how rampant a person is, they would not dare to act rashly in front of such a face.

"Get up." Mu Huainan opened his mouth and spoke in a low voice.

I was stunned as I grabbed onto his hand. He effortlessly pulled me up, and after staggering a few times, managed to stabilize my body. To be honest, I didn't expect that Mu Huainan would agree so quickly.

"Scream." Mu Huainan suddenly said.

"Huh?" I raised my head in a daze. In a daze, my reaction became sluggish. "What's his name?"

Mu Huainan didn't reply. His dark and cold eyes fell on me, causing people to unconsciously shiver.

I probably understood now, since I have adopted a godfather, I should naturally carry out a proper "Father Recognition Ceremony". I don't need to look to know how many eyes are sizing me up. These people are the representatives of the major companies in the industry, and some are even old friends of Dad's. Today, I have acknowledged this dad in front of so many people.

Before my father's coffin was completely closed, I quickly found a new father to replace it. No matter what, he was still a model without a conscience.

Clenching my teeth, after an intense internal struggle, "Putong", I knelt in front of Mu Huainan, kowtowed three times, and called out loudly, "Father!"

The whispers in the surroundings became louder and louder, I could hear all the words that were not in my ears. At this moment, my face was flushed red, my head was raised, and my eyes were filled with grief, hoping that Mu Huainan would help me out.

But as it turned out, I was overthinking it.

My sorrowful eyes met them, and all I saw was Mu Huainan's unrestrained ridicule.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. With an almost contemptuous, disdainful, and even teasing tone, he miserly squeezed out a word, as if he was teasing a pet.

"Good boy."

Mu Huainan's humiliation was hidden within his calm and collected expression, but every word of his was heartbreaking.

I think that if my father were in his right mind, he would probably be so angry that he would stare at me, hoping that he wouldn't have my daughter. Not only would he lose his own people, but he would also ruin the reputation of the entire Lu Family.

However, at this point in time, I really had no choice but to leave.

In the end, Mu Huainan didn't help me up either. Instead, he circled around me with his hands behind his back to give Master Lu a moment of silence.

I gloomily kneeled on the ground. The play just now had revealed the image of a silly and stupid Lu family's daughter to everyone, and Mu Huainan had embellished this image even more deeply. That old fox Mu Huainan who made everyone in the business circles keep away from him was truly cunning and insidious.

I watched as he walked step by step towards my father's coffin. His pitch-black back was like a devil in the night. Beneath his gentle and elegant appearance, there was a viciousness and venom that would make people tremble in fear.

I was suddenly afraid, but there was no longer any room for regret.
