Directly ignoring what Nan Mingchuan said next, Ye Anxin asked in surprise, "Are you leaving the day after tomorrow?"

Nan Mingchuan nodded, "Yes! The ticket’s already bought! Xue Rong and I are mentally and physically exhausted, and we don’t want to stay here any longer! She said she misses Jianning, so we decided to leave as soon as possible! Lin Hua is a very capable young man. You can ask him if you have any questions. He will do his utmost to help you!"

Ye Anxin smiled and said, "I know! After spending these few days together, I’ve gotten to know Lin Hua a bit. Although he isn’t as decisive and efficient as Brother Pete, his ability and skills shouldn’t be underestimated!"

Nan Mingchuan said with relief, "If there’s anything you don’t understand in the future, you can also call me! I believe that with you and President Mu, the Nanshang Group will surely reach its peak!"

"Mm!" Ye Anxin nodded, biting her lower lip with her teeth, her eyes filled with reluctance for Nan Mingchuan!

Although they had just reunited, no matter what, he was her biological father. They had just reunited, and they got along well during this time. Now they were about to part again, and she felt somewhat reluctant!

If her mother knew about this, she would definitely be heartbroken!

Nothing is more painful than two people who love each other not being able to be together, and a family of three not being able to reunite!

Seeing Ye Anxin’s expression, Nan Mingchuan felt increasingly uncomfortable, filled with guilt as he said, "Anxin, I hope you can forgive me, forgive my selfishness!"

Ye Anxin smiled gently, comforting him, "Dad, what are you saying? How could I blame you? You are getting on in years; you should enjoy your life and take it easy!"

Nan Mingchuan said with shame, "Anxin, you don’t understand! Actually, from the beginning to the end, I’ve been scheming against you! Initially, I planned to leave Du City with my secret and let it rot in my stomach! But a few words from President Mu a few days ago made me feel ashamed! Seeing your hard work and effort in the past few days, I felt even guiltier! I feel that I’m not worthy of being a father, that I shouldn’t have plotted against my own daughter!"

Seeing Nan Mingchuan speak so seriously, Ye Anxin was perplexed, "Dad, what are you talking about? I don’t understand! And, what does this have to do with Uncle? What did Uncle say?"

"You don’t know! From the moment I knew you were my daughter, I was planning, planning to have you recognize your ancestry and use you to let President Mu control the Nanshang Group! While helping the Nanshang Group flourish, I also planned not to let the group change hands!" The more Nan Mingchuan spoke, the lower he bowed his head!

He felt utterly ashamed to face his daughter!

Although Ye Anxin didn’t fully understand what Nan Mingchuan meant, she vaguely guessed some of it, "What do you mean?"

Nan Mingchuan explained, "A long time ago, before you knew your background, President Mu came to see me! He warned me not to disturb your peaceful life! After that day, I realized that Mu Beiting was my son-in-law! At that time, I thought if I passed the Nanshang Group to you, considering President Mu’s regard for you, he would absolutely not stand idly by! On the surface, the Nanshang Group would be in your hands, but the actual controller would be President Mu!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Dad, how could you do this? How could you plot against Uncle?"

Faced with Ye Anxin’s blame, Nan Mingchuan blushed, "I am already over sixty, beyond the age of doubt! If Sisi hadn’t died, with her taking over the Nanshang Group, I wouldn’t worry! But, Sisi died young, and I have no descendants, and your personality is too gentle to manage such a large company! The only person who can help the Nanshang Group is President Mu! I could see President Mu’s deep affection for you, saw that you are his weakness, so I used you to bind him to the Nanshang Group. This way, I could ensure the Nanshang Group wouldn’t be swallowed up by the Mu Group while still controlling it!"

Hearing Nan Mingchuan’s words, Ye Anxin’s eyes reddened with anger, "Dad, you’ve gone too far! I’m your daughter, it doesn’t matter if you plot against me, but how could you scheme against Uncle? If Uncle finds out, what would he think?"

"Anxin, I’m sorry! Dad has no other choice! My health is failing day by day, and I’m already overwhelmed. If I don’t find a successor soon, the Nanshang Group will fall! I don’t want the foundation I’ve worked so hard for my entire life to be ruined! I’ve invested too much in the Nanshang Group, and I can’t bear to let it go!" As he spoke, tears unknowingly flowed from Nan Mingchuan’s eyes!

Seeing Nan Mingchuan cry, Ye Anxin felt a wave of unwillingness in her heart, but thinking of what Nan Mingchuan had done, she still felt anger, "But you can’t scheme against Uncle for your sake!"

Nan Mingchuan wiped his tears, choked with sobs, "Xue Rong poisoned me, imprisoning me, which wasn’t in my plan! After I learned that Xue Rong might imprison me, I immediately called you. I knew that with your kindness, you would definitely come to save me and wouldn’t stand idly by! So, after you saved me, I took advantage of the situation to entrust the Nanshang Group to you! I always thought my plan was flawless! I never expected President Mu had already seen through everything; he already knew I was plotting against you!"

Ye Anxin exclaimed in disbelief, "Uncle already knew?"

Nan Mingchuan sighed bitterly, mocking himself, "Yes! He had long been aware of my intentions! But what I didn’t expect was that even knowing I was plotting against him, he still jumped in without hesitation! He did it entirely because of you! He didn’t want you to know your father was actually a despicable and shameless man; he didn’t want you to be heartbroken!"

"Uncle... Uncle he...!" Ye Anxin never thought that Mu Beiting, knowing it was a trap and a scheme, was still willing to cooperate and provide his guarantee at the shareholders’ meeting!

Thinking about everything Mu Beiting did for her and his sacrifices, she suddenly felt her nose sting and her eyes grow warm!

Nan Mingchuan continued, "That day after the new president’s inauguration ceremony, I intended to thank him! I didn’t expect... I didn’t expect... If it weren’t for a few words from President Mu, I might still be smugly satisfied with my successful scheme! President Mu warned me not to tell you about this! Compared to what he has done for you, I feel like nothing but a beast! These days, I have been tormented by guilt! After being tormented for several days, I decided to tell you everything, to let you know what kind of person your biological father really is!"
