When Nan Mingchuan arrived at the lounge, Mu Beiting was sitting alone on the sofa, flipping through documents in his hands!

Nan Mingchuan sat down in the chair opposite Mu Beiting, full of gratitude, and said, "President Mu! Thank you for today’s matter. If it weren’t for you, today’s inauguration ceremony wouldn’t have gone so smoothly! Anxin being able to marry you is truly the greatest happiness of her life!"

Mu Beiting lifted his eyes from the document, glanced at Nan Mingchuan, and then closed the folder, placing it aside before looking up at Nan Mingchuan!

Thinking Mu Beiting hadn’t heard, Nan Mingchuan repeated his gratitude tirelessly, "Really, thank you, President Mu! If it weren’t for you, those shareholders wouldn’t have been satisfied! With President Mu overseeing Nanshang Group in the future, I can be at ease!"

Mu Beiting’s expression remained unchanged as he replied indifferently, "Isn’t this the result you wanted to see?"

"What?" Nan Mingchuan was startled, unsure of the meaning behind Mu Beiting’s words.

Mu Beiting said expressionlessly, "You went to great lengths to hand Nanshang Group to Anxin, isn’t it just to see today’s situation? My guarantee letter, along with my commitment to all the shareholders of Nanshang Group!"

His thoughts revealed, a trace of embarrassment emerged on Nan Mingchuan’s face!

Taking in his expression completely, Mu Beiting’s face remained unchanged, his thin lips opened slightly as he coldly remarked, "For fifteen years, no one has dared to scheme in front of me! You are the first one!"

"I... I...!" Not expecting Mu Beiting to have long known about his plot, Nan Mingchuan’s old face turned red with shame. He hurried to explain, "I... I didn’t want this! But with the Nan Family having no heirs, Sisi dead, Jianning not amounting to anything, Anxin is my only daughter, the entire family business belongs to her alone! No matter how much she denies it, she can’t shirk her responsibilities to the Nan Family!"

Mu Beiting asked disdainfully, "If I had no relationship with Anxin, would you still hand such a large Nanshang Group to her?"

"This...!" Nan Mingchuan was left speechless in face of Mu Beiting’s probing questions!

In fact, Mu Beiting was right. If Ye Anxin’s husband wasn’t Mu Beiting, even if he acknowledged this daughter, he wouldn’t hand Nanshang Group to her! He would find some other way!

Because Ye Anxin’s personality is too soft, lacks courage and decisiveness, she is simply not suited to be the helm of Nanshang Group!

The reason she did so much to let Ye Anxin take over Nanshang Group was ultimately because of Mu Beiting behind her!

Seeing him silent, Mu Beiting sternly warned, "I don’t care what you think, I can choose not to pursue this matter! However, you’d better not let Anxin ever find out your plot, or... all my guarantees today will be void! I will make Nanshang Group completely disappear from Du City!"

"President Mu...!" Nan Mingchuan looked at Mu Beiting with mixed feelings!

Mu Beiting certainly lives up to his reputation as a formidable figure, actually knowing his intentions all along!

"The only reason you can sit here today is because you are Anxin’s father!" The implication was clear; the only reason I’m sitting here with you saying so much nonsense is entirely because you are Anxin’s father, otherwise you wouldn’t even have the qualification to speak with me!

Nan Mingchuan wasn’t foolish, naturally, he understood the meaning behind Mu Beiting’s words.

It’s just when compared to Mu Beiting, he suddenly felt so despicable, scheming against his own biological daughter from the very start!

"That’s all there is to say! You may leave now!" With that, he no longer looked at Nan Mingchuan, instead picking up the document placed on the sofa earlier and continued to read.

Nan Mingchuan slowly stood up, opened his mouth wanting to say something, but in the end said nothing, and slowly walked to the door! However, in the moment his hand touched the doorknob, unwillingness overcame him, he turned back and walked to Mu Beiting, pledging firmly, "President Mu, you’re right. From the moment I knew Anxin was my daughter, I’ve indeed harbored the thought of binding President Mu to Nanshang Group to help it thrive! Even so, my feelings for Anxin are genuine; she is my only daughter, the child of my beloved daughter whom I searched for twenty-six years! These feelings cannot be false!"

Unfortunately, no matter what he said, Mu Beiting did not lift his head from the document, nor did he glance at him!

Fearing Mu Beiting wouldn’t believe him, Nan Mingchuan continued, "Everything I just said is true! In this lifetime, I only have two daughters; with Sisi gone, all my love is devoted solely to Anxin! Undeniably, having been deceived by Xue Rong, I did seize this opportunity to let Anxin recognize our ancestors and join the family! So, even without you mentioning, I wouldn’t tell Anxin, I don’t want her to know her biological father is someone who calculates and plots!"

Mu Beiting did not look up as he asked, "Finished?"

"Yes!" Nan Mingchuan nodded, not understanding why!

"Take care, I won’t see you off!" Mu Beiting still didn’t lift his head to look at Nan Mingchuan, maintaining a distant demeanor throughout the encounter!

Mu Beiting’s reserved nature is well-known, Nan Mingchuan naturally knew as well!

Seeing he doesn’t wish to communicate further, he sighed helplessly and turned to leave!

Until the moment the lounge door was closed, Mu Beiting lifted his head from the folder, gazing at the tightly shut door, his eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of coldness surfacing beneath them!

Returning from the lounge to the president’s office, Nan Mingchuan’s face still looked unpleasant, Mu Beiting’s words repeatedly echoed in his mind!

Originally, feeling guilty about scheming against Ye Anxin, being confronted by Mu Beiting made him suddenly feel unworthy of being a father, actually calculating against his own biological daughter!

However, the situation has reached this point and he can’t disclose the truth to Anxin, afraid that Anxin would hate him, deny his fatherhood!

Moreover, Mu Beiting knew his scheme all along, yet remained silent and helped him fulfill his wish, indicating Mu Beiting also didn’t want Anxin to find out about this! If Anxin knew, it would inevitably be another blow to her!

Pete and Nan Mingchuan’s personal assistant are explaining the current situation of Nanshang Group to Ye Anxin!

Seeing Nan Mingchuan come in with an unpleasant expression, they promptly inquired with concern, "Dad, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? You don’t look well!"

Nan Mingchuan recuperated, shaking his head hastily, "I’m fine, maybe it’s just today’s workload being too much, physically exhausted, feeling tired!"

Ye Anxin hurriedly replied, "Then you should go rest! You just recovered, can’t exert yourself too much!"
