Who could it be?

In fact, he had long been suspicious of Mu Wanrou’s identity.

Mu Yazhe was still young when Mu Sheng brought the nine-year-old Mu Wanrou to him as his future fiancée; he was very adamant despite appearing nonchalant.

When she just joined the family, Grandpa Mu was over the moon he did not conduct a paternity test right away. He had indeed collected her blood samples, but he dragged on with doing the DNA test.

It was not until Mu Sheng realized that the girl’s appearance differed from her biological mother, with not even one part or an expression being similar, that he began to have suspicions and finally decided to conduct the DNA test with the samples.

Mu Wanrou, who was still very young at the time, obviously had no knowledge of this matter. Moreover, at her age, what trouble could she stir up?

When the result came out, they were a perfect match.

While Mu Sheng instinctively felt that something was off, he did not take it to heart and simply concluded that her facial features have yet to mature.

However, when she was finally of age and her facial features had fully matured, her looks were still a far cry from that woman. Again, Grandpa Mu was suspicious.

Mu Qingcheng – this was that woman’s name.

She was adopted by Mu Sheng in his forties and had no blood relations with him.

Mu Yazhe knew little of that woman, as there was limited information about her. It was as if someone had purposely placed a lid over her past.

That person was most likely Mu Sheng.

The things Mu Qingcheng left behind had mostly been kept hidden. Grandpa Mu was afraid he would constantly be reminded of her if he saw her items, so he stored them away in the basement. He only kept that piece of jade on his person, taking it out every now and then to stare at it while lost in his thoughts.

Still, regarding her background, Mu Yazhe discovered some bits and pieces of it.

Mu Qingcheng was apparently just a lowly singer at a cabaret known as ‘Paramount’ in the past. Before she was adopted to the Mu family, her stage name was ‘Qingcheng’. Rumors had it that she was an orphan and did not have a name.

Unlike the current one, the capital of the past was far from prosperity, but many wealthy families were secretly born from economic reforms.

Despite this, the Mu, a rich and powerful family of a hundred years, dominated the capital.

At that time, there was a bustling district in the capital. Putting it in today’s words, it was a district filled with nightclubs. Few bars and nightclubs were in business back then, so Paramount was the place the rich often passed the time after a meal.

The bustling district Paramount was in was one of the many properties under the Mu family.

Paramount was originally about to close down due to poor management.

A little later, Paramount’s then manager brought in Mu Qingcheng from somewhere — she was such a treasure.

Not only did she have a naturally lovely voice, she was also skilled in ballroom dancing, and just like her name, she had a devastatingly beautiful appearance, which was hard to come by. She was unmatched in her generation and famous in her time.

Because of this, as time passed, her status at Paramount gradually increased. Along with this improvement, the cabaret, which was previously on the brink of closing, flourished again. It was even competing with the most popular cabarets at that time.

Many bosses went to Paramount for Mu Qingcheng, and all those who had gone there became regulars and frequented the cabaret later on.
