Hearing Mu Qianshui’s emotionless response, Ning Zitong’s emotions instantly surged violently!
"Yuan is in Ancheng!"
Ning Zitong excitedly grabbed Mu Qianshui’s hand.
"Where is she? Where is Yuan?"
"Fifty million."
Mu Qianshui coldly uttered three words.
Ning Zitong froze, montarily confused.
"Fifty million?"
"Fifty million to buy this piece of information. Mom, do you think it’s worth it?"
Mu Qianshui looked at the slightly stunned Ning Zitong.
"The money isn’t for , it’s for the person who helped investigate my sister’s whereabouts. That person knows how important my sister is to the Mu family, so they set the price at fifty million."
"Are you saying you still don’t know exactly where Qianyuan is right now? Is that what you an?"
Ning Zitong anxiously pressed further.
Mu Qianshui ambiguously nodded and then shook her head, followed by a soft sigh as she looked at Ning Zitong.
"I know, Mom, that you and Dad can’t let go of my sister. Recently, I’ve been wondering too—could my sister be lucky enough to have been rescued by a kindhearted person after falling off that cliff? So I started investigating in secret."
She sighed again as she spoke.
"To have soone thoroughly investigate this matter, I’ve already spent a lot of money. That person told that my sister didn’t die. She was saved back then, and now she’s in Ancheng."
"Qianshui..."
"If you still want to continue investigating, to uncover everything, there’s no way around that fifty million."
Mu Qianshui’s tone was indifferent, but her gaze was resolute.
"Mom, if you truly wish to see my sister again and reunite as a family, I think this is the only feasible route."
"Fifty million it is! As long as I can bring Yuan back, no amount of money matters to !"
Ning Zitong agreed without hesitation!
As long as she could see her little princess again, she was willing to do anything!
Seeing the tears shimring in Ning Zitong’s eyes, Mu Qianshui concealed a faint smile.
"Whether or not we can find my sister is uncertain, but there’s one thing I want to remind you about first, Mom."
"What is it?"
Ning Zitong snapped back to her senses and asked urgently.
Mu Qianshui looked at her and spoke deliberately.
"Mom, you know that when my sister was little, she was betrothed to Chuxi. But now, Chuxi has married Yan Xinxin. If my sister finds out that her Brother Xi has married soone else, would she be heartbroken? So heartbroken that she might leave this city?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Mu Qianshui saw the worry she desired appear on Ning Zitong’s face.
"That Yan Xinxin seduced Chuxi and got involved with him. Now she’s stirring trouble between my brother and . That woman is calculating, scheming, and deeply manipulative. If my sister does co back, she won’t be able to match her..."
"Qianshui, don’t worry. Mom will never let anyone bully your sister!"
Ning Zitong firmly grasped Mu Qianshui’s hand and promised.
"I knew you cared so much about your sister. Why would you have been so cold-hearted as to stand by while Yuan faced death? This must have been Yan Xinxin’s doing! She wants nothing more than to keep our family in chaos!"
"I’m glad you understand, Mom."
Mu Qianshui curled her lips into a smile, clearly satisfied that Ning Zitong had been successfully swayed.
"Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll make sure to do everything possible to find out where my sister is now."
"Good!"
Ning Zitong raised her hand to wipe away her tears, a flood of happiness filling her heart.
"As long as Yuan is alive and well, that’s all that matters!"
She stood up abruptly as she spoke, and the joy in her eyes was instantly replaced by indignation and resentnt.
"Tomorrow, I’m going to find that Yan Xinxin. I want that woman to understand that from beginning to end, she was rely a substitute for Yuan! Once Yuan returns, she’ll be nothing!"
