“Do you think that you’re a good father who can make people trust you completely?” Mu Huan raised an eyebrow.
Mu Dongsheng: “…”
Alright, he was indeed not a trustworthy father.
“Also, if Grandpa had left something good for me, would you not have seized it instead of keeping it for me?”
“Since you think so, why did you still come?” Mu Dongsheng snapped.
Mu Huan pouted. “I was thinking that if you asked me to come here to harm me, I’d be able to recognize the truth and give up on you a little more. When that day comes when you’ve let me down completely, I’ll no longer acknowledge you as my father. From then on, I won’t have to worry about you anymore.”
“You b*stard! I gave you your life! No matter what, you can’t not acknowledge me as your father! You wouldn’t exist if not for me!” Mu Dongsheng said angrily.
“If I could choose my parents, do you think I would have chosen you as my father?”
“You…” Mu Dongsheng was so angry that he wanted to hit her, but he recalled that she was right. Most importantly, he could not defeat her, so he retracted his hand!
“If you want to trust me, then follow me in. If you don’t, then go back!” With that, he turned around and entered his old home.
Mu Huan looked at his back and followed him in.
Although she had said that earlier, the reason she had come was that she believed in him. Even if she couldn’t think of what good things he could give her, she still believed in her father. It was just that after coming, she felt that he was a little strange today, so she tried to probe him.
Besides, she didn’t think that her father would harm her. Even if he did, she wasn’t afraid of anything. There was no reason for her not to go in.
Mu Dongsheng brought Mu Huan to his father’s study and, without saying a word, went to pry the floor.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t pry it open.
It was late autumn and he was drenched in sweat.
“Is the thing under this floor?” Mu Huan looked at him.
Mu Dongsheng replied unhappily, “Yes.”
“Let me.”
“I can’t even pry it open, so what do you think you could do? You can try, but this is purely physical work…” Before Mu Dongsheng could finish speaking, he saw Mu Huan using one hand to pry the floor open.
Instantly…
He could still remember how adorable his daughter had been when she was young. Her delicate and boneless hands could not even tear open a candy wrapper. Every time she ate candy, she would run to him and ask him, her father, to tear the candy wrapper for her. Now, she had effortlessly pried open the floor that he could not pry open with all his might!
For a moment, Mu Dongsheng did not know how to describe his feelings.
After Mu Huan pried it open, she saw that the floor had been hollowed out. There was a very old-looking iron box inside.
She looked up at Mu Dongsheng.
She looked at him in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Without a word, she reached in and pulled out the metal box.
After Mu Huan placed down the metal box properly, she looked at Mu Dongsheng and asked, “Where’s the key?”
Mu Dongsheng snapped back to his senses and searched for the key in his pocket. However, he could not find it despite searching all over the place. He then smacked his head and said, “Look at my memory. I forgot about it after I took it out and placed it on the table!
“I’ll go back and get it!”
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw Mu Huan taking off the black pin on her hair and prying open the lock.
Mu Dongsheng: “…”
How could she even know how to do this?!
After Mu Huan opened the metal box, she saw that inside it was a case file, a book, and a notebook. She finally understood why her father did not pocket these good things. It was because these items could not be exchanged for money.
Just as she was wondering why her grandfather would leave these things for her and why they were so precious that he would only give them to her after she got married, she saw something.
