Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!
Chapter 277: He remembered.

Chapter 277: He remembered.

The voice on the other end was very familiar, but it wasn’t Jun Lii.

"Miss Yan, I’m sorry, the head of the family is a bit tied up at the moment and cannot take your call right now."

Yan Yueqing recognized the voice, and politely said, "Housekeeper Mu?"

Uncle Mu responded kindly, "If Miss Yan has an urgent matter, you can tell me first, and I will arrange it for you."

It had been a long time since she returned from the Yan Family, and this was the first time she had made a phone call to the head of the family.

The progress in their relationship was at 0%, and now it was 9 p.m. To make this call, she must have encountered something that she needed help with.

Unfortunately, the head of the family was still unconscious, and Uncle Mu could only make the decision himself to avoid delaying any major matters of the matriarch.

Jun Yan sat on Yan Yueqing’s lap and could faintly hear Housekeeper Mu’s voice. Looking up, he said, "Grandpa Mu, where did my dad go?"

"The head of the family is dealing with some projects, in a private discussion with Jun Chi."

"Oh, I see." Jun Yan showed a smile, "Grandpa Mu, my mom called, she wants to borrow Uncle Jun Chi!"

Housekeeper Mu frowned, "What’s the matter that even Xiao Jiu can’t handle?"

"It’s not business-related. Ever since Xiao Jiu came to my place, everything has been handled very well," Yan Yueqing hastily vouched for Jun Jiu, "But for this matter, Xiao Jiu might not be the most suitable."

She briefly explained the situation.

Housekeeper Mu listened carefully and nodded, "Mm, it does sound like Jun Chi would be more appropriate."

"Grandpa Mu, my dad is so stingy! Last time I wanted to borrow Uncle Jun Chi, he even scolded me!" Jun Yan snitched, "Now it’s my mom who needs to borrow someone, he can’t refuse again, right?"

"Of course not," Housekeeper Mu agreed, "After I report back to the head of the family, I will arrange for Jun Chi to come over. He should be able to meet with Miss Yan in Magic Capital by tomorrow morning."

"Yay!" Jun Yan flattered, "See, there’s nothing Grandpa Mu can’t do in the family."

"You flatter me too much, Young Master Yan."

But Jun Yan was sincerely admiring.

After exchanging a few more cordial words and just before hanging up the phone, Yan Yueqing added, "Please send my regards to Mr. Jun."

After all, she had borrowed two people from his house, and it was important to maintain proper politeness.

Housekeeper Mu swiftly hit the record button, "What would Miss Yan like me to convey?"

Yan Yueqing was just being polite, but since he had asked, she chose her words carefully, "Well... I hope he remains in good health and achieves great success in his endeavors."

Housekeeper Mu’s smile was so wide it almost didn’t fit his face, "The head of the family will be very happy to hear this!"

After hanging up the phone, he walked into the inner room, clutching the mobile phone.

Jun Chi stood up from beside Jun Lii and whispered, "Uncle Mu."

Housekeeper Mu gestured to him to come to the doorway.

Only when he got closer did he lower his voice, "Xiao Chi, you should go to Magic Capital tonight."

Jun Chi, in his thirties, had a burly figure that spoke of strength at first glance. His black suit accentuated his muscular lines, making him appear somewhat refined, but the fierce aura on his face still cast his handsome features in a way that made him resemble King Yama, intimidating to all who looked upon him.

"Me, to Magic Capital? What about the family head here?"

His voice was somewhat rough, like grit swept by the sandstorms of the Great Desert, cool, harsh, and resolute.

"I’ll take care of things," Housekeeper Mu patted his shoulder. "Xiao Yi also said that the family head fell into sleep after hypnosis, we should try not to disturb him and just wait for him to wake up on his own."

Jun Chi’s face was cold, and he seemed somewhat displeased, "I really don’t know where Xiao Yi found that hypnosis master, doesn’t seem reliable at all."

"It’s the family head’s own decision, we just need to follow orders. No matter what, Xiao Yi wouldn’t harm the family head." Housekeeper Mu lowered his head, glanced at Jun Lii who was frowning in his sleep on the bed and sighed, "Perhaps... the hypnosis caused an overload of information, and the family head can’t wake up for the time being?"

Jun Chi furrowed his dark brows, "For a woman, the family head is taking such risks—"

"Are you blaming our future matriarch?"

Housekeeper Mu, hearing some implication, quickly pointed out, "Xiao Chi, the family head is a person who doesn’t make decisions lightly. He has his own reasoning for everything. Since he has chosen to recover that part of his memory, he must have made a thorough plan. Besides, these matters, should have been concluded five years ago, but at that time the family head was in too much pain, I couldn’t bear to advise him to seek the truth..."

Jun Chi shook his head, "I didn’t mean to blame the family head... Six years ago, when the family head went missing, I took the brothers abroad to look for him for a long time, but we didn’t find a single piece of information. Later, after receiving a secret message from the family head, I went to meet him, and that’s when the explosion happened... I saw with my own eyes Miss Ah Xing get blasted!"

"But at the time, we didn’t know she had any connection to the family head, so we ordered our men to first find and move the family head from the ruins. Honestly speaking, Miss Ah Xing was so close to the explosion source, it was simply impossible for her to survive! Afterward, the ruins were taken over by those people, and our men couldn’t find her remains. Later, when the family head eradicated that power, their leader confessed many things, yet clung to their story until the end, insisting that there was no second person in the ruins!"

"Uncle Mu, it’s not that I want to overthink this, but Miss Ah Xing’s appearance was strange from the very beginning! She suddenly appeared, then just as suddenly disappeared; with the Jun Family’s vast power, we couldn’t find the slightest information related to her, not even whether she was dead or alive? And the family head’s memory was severely damaged because of that explosion! Moreover, the most crucial point— the people from our side had interacted with someone inside that house, had seen Miss Ah Xing, and had seen the family head, but the family head looked nothing like himself... If it weren’t for the secret message, we wouldn’t have thought that person was the family head."

Housekeeper Mu was hearing many of these details from Jun Chi for the first time and frowned, "So, you suspect Miss Ah Xing?"

"She’s the most suspicious! When the family head couldn’t see her, she somehow managed to completely transform the family head into another person’s appearance, even our own men couldn’t recognize him?! After the explosion, she vanished as if she never existed, leaving no trace behind? Now, there also appeared Yan Yueqing who looks exactly like her... It’s hard not to suspect, what new trick is this?"

"From your perspective, Miss Ah Xing is indeed suspicious," Housekeeper Mu first agreed with him, then smoothly reassured, "But we are not the family head, none of us have that missing memory... We can be cautious, but can’t rashly make a decision or judge a person’s character lightly."

"I know," Jun Chi resignedly accepted the admonition. "I’m just... somewhat worried about the family head."

Housekeeper Mu gave him a profound look, his eyes behind the glasses brimming with the craftiness of an old fox.

"Xiao Chi, when you’re in Magic Capital, don’t act towards Miss Yan with any bias. If everything turns out to be a misunderstanding, I’m afraid the family head would be unhappy to know about your current thoughts."

This was both a reminder and a warning.

Jun Chi’s spine chilled instantly; the man of nearly two meters obediently lowered his head, "Uncle Mu, I understand."
