Chapter 904: The Peerless Beauty Mu Huanying Yu Jingran
“Is this a photo of my grandma when she was young?”
"Yes!"
After taking the thing Song Yi handed over, Li Xiangnan looked down and felt his scalp tingling!
He could feel that at this moment, the skin on his arms was covered with goose bumps because of his gaze.
This is a shock that comes from the depths of the soul!
From this photo!
The photo is in black and white, with a very retro atmosphere.
With an antique house as the background, two girls of about seventeen or eighteen years old appear in the camera.
One was standing and the other was sitting on a throne.
The two of them interlocked their hands and smiled towards the camera.
They had the iconic short hair of the era and wore cheongsams that exposed their arms.
Her face is delicate and gentle, and her warm smile has a power that goes straight to the heart.
Confident, sunny and calm, graceful and elegant.
Even in the low-pixel photos, she still has a stunning beauty and an unparalleled temperament that cannot be ignored.
Li Xiangnan recognized at a glance that the girl sitting on the armchair was his grandmother.
I don’t know why, maybe there is a tacit understanding between us.
The familiarity of the appearance of the ancestors may come from the faces of his uncle and third uncle that Li Xiangnan had seen countless times, as well as his own eyebrows and face...
This is inherited in the genes.
Li Xiangnan knew that his handsomeness came from his grandmother's beautiful face.
He cried.
Drops of hot tears fell on his sleeves and were quickly wiped away by him, fearing that the salty tears would destroy the only remaining precious photo.
He had never seen his grandmother, and at this moment, he felt endless longing for her.
This is the bond of blood that is thicker than water, and it is a feeling that Li Xiangnan cannot give up.
I was even more curious and wanted to explore what happened to my grandmother.
He wiped away his tears and stared at the photo carefully, analyzing all possible information.
This is a photo that travels through time, from at least several decades ago.
Grandma Mu Huanying was born in 1912. She looked about 30 or years old in this photo, which means it was taken around years ago!
Those who could take photos in that era were certainly not ordinary families.
In that era, those who could wear cheongsams, have exquisite makeup, and avoid the hustle and bustle of the world were not from an ordinary family.
Grandma Mu Huanying is a member of the Mu family.
Li Xiangnan had no doubts at all.
From this photo, he could tell that his grandmother came from a prominent family, was easy-going, had an outstanding temperament, and had received a good education...
The other person in the photo also made Li Xiangnan's heart beat wildly.
He already knew that Grandma Song’s name was Yu Jingran and she was a member of the Yu family!
In other words, Yu Jingran and her grandmother Mu Huanying have been best friends since childhood.
The family status and even power and wealth of the two families were very similar, or perhaps the adults of the two families had close contacts, which allowed them to get to know each other and become best friends in their lives.
With this question in mind, Li Xiangnan reluctantly moved his eyes away from the photo, looked at Song Yi, and asked, "Your grandmother and my grandmother have been friends since childhood?"
"They were classmates and good friends. My grandmother told me that before Huanying left home, they were together almost every day! They were so close that they were like one person!"
Li Xiangnan captured the important information instantly.
He frowned and said, "In other words, the Yu family and the Mu family used to have a very good relationship? Or even old friends?"
"I know what you want to ask!" After saying this, Song Yi suddenly walked to the door and closed it. She turned around and whispered, "But Li Xiangnan, not long after this photo was taken, Huanying left Yanjing! No one knows where she went!"
She walked to the window, grabbed a pack of cigarettes on the windowsill and handed one to Li Xiangnan, then said, "The Mu family also encountered something at that time, and suddenly began to close the door to visitors! Since then, the Mu family is no longer the same Mu family as before!"
"Your grandmother..." Li Xiangnan frowned and asked immediately.
"Yes, after Grandma Huanying disappeared, my grandmother was very sad. She went to the Mu family to look for her countless times, but the answer she got was always the same: Mu Huanying was missing!" Song Yi recalled the information her grandmother had told her before.
"That was the first time she disappeared!" Li Xiangnan looked down at the photo.
"Yes!" Seeing that he was holding a cigarette and couldn't remember to smoke for a long time, Song Yi struck a match and reached out to him, "I asked grandma about the situation of the Mu family. She just said that since then, the Mu family has been acting very strangely, and the contact with the Yu family has almost been cut off..."
"Could it be that my grandma did something?" Li Xiangnan asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Then I don't know!" Song Yi shook her head, "Grandma doesn't know about this either!"
Li Xiangnan nodded. Knowing the relationship between Yu Jingran and his grandmother, he realized that it was no wonder that Yu Jingran treated him like her grandson. She really treated him as her grandson.
This fully illustrates her relationship with her grandmother, which is like that of sisters.
The Mu family has been strangely closed off since decades ago, and their behavior is very different from before. A lot of things must have happened in the meantime, which led to Song Yi reminding Li Xiangnan to be careful of the Mu family.
The Song family kept all of this a secret and did not let him know about it from the beginning. It was probably because they were instructed by old man Yu Haoran. They might also be afraid that the Li family would not be able to accept such a fact and did not know how to explain it all.
While smoking, Li Xiangnan's thoughts raced as he began to review the situation.
Then he asked the most important question.
"When Uncle took out this photo, didn't you ask him where it came from?"
"Li Xiangnan!"
At this time, Song Yi called him in an extremely serious tone.
Li Xiangnan turned to look at her in surprise.
"Everything about your grandma is a state secret!"
"That's why the Song family kept their mouth shut and the Yu family kept their troops on hold. All of this was done to protect her!"
"When my uncle brought back the photos, my grandmother begged him many times, and he answered like this!"
"Grandma Huanying has been carrying this photo with her for many years. She asked my uncle to bring it back a few years ago because she was afraid that my grandmother would die of sadness and depression because of her story."
"The message she sent to the photo was just one word: wait!"
"Wait?" Li Xiangnan seemed to see the moment when the girl standing on the horizon as the sun set turned around and uttered this word.
"Yes, wait, wait! Wait until she comes back!"
Song Yi leaned against the window and looked outside.
"So, the Song family is waiting! The Yu family is waiting too."
"I guess your grandma is waiting too!"
"Li Xiangnan!"
She turned her head and looked back, her eyes deep.
"When grandma asked me to bring the photo to you, she hoped you wouldn't rush it!"
"Now that Huanying Nai hasn't come back, it must be that something is not ready yet!"
"You must be prepared too!"
"Because beneath the calmness of Yanjing City, there have already been unexpected disturbances."
Li Xiangnan narrowed his eyes and asked, "The core point is the Mu family?"
Song Yi nodded silently.
"South! South!"
Just then, a familiar call suddenly came from the corridor outside.
Li Xiangnan was shocked and shuddered. He quickly put out his cigarette, ran to the office door and opened it. He saw his father Li Fugui rushing into the corridor, "Dad? What happened?"
"Oh, come back with me, your Aunt Lu has fainted..."
"Aunt Lu?"
Li Xiangnan was startled and turned to look at Song Yi, confused, "What's wrong with her?"
People kept coming out of the corridor, and Li Fugui said anxiously: "It's Yuejin, Yuejin has gone home!"
Zhou Yuejin?
Upon hearing the name, Li Xiangnan's heart skipped a beat.
It’s broken, but it’s still too late!
"Let's go!" Without any hesitation, Li Xiangnan turned around, grabbed his coat and ran out...
