"...I know." Nan Hai Yan patted his son’s shoulders.

"I’m going to rest if there’s nothing else." Old Master Nan could guess that this matter was actually Nan Hai Yan wanted to tell his children instead of him. The so called report was for him to warn his children to be more careful.

He looked into the distance and sighed deeply.

Nan Family is in turmoil at this time and it was estimated that the world was also not at peace.

...

Nan Xian Mu looked at his older brother and finally couldn’t help it. "Why did you never tell us about it before, Brother?"

"You’re still too young." Nan Xian Yu was calm.

"Uh..."

Well, even now he’s not an adult yet, so it seemed to be true?

Nan Xian Yu glanced at his younger brother. "Lin Mei Yu will come here during dinner time. At that time, it’s estimated that they will discuss the matter of guardianship of the children. She wouldn’t care too much about Nan Hua but you. Do you want to follow Father or Mother?"

Nan Xian Mu was silent.

Now that it came to this question again, he was still feeling as conflicted as before.

He didn’t know what answer would be the best answer for himself.

"You still have several hours to think." Nan Xian Yu entered his room and closed the door, leaving Nan Xian Mu in the corridor to think about this matter himself.

Nan Xian Mu stayed still.

He looked in the direction where Nan Xian Yu left and finally sighed deeply. He needed to think about this.

Nan Hua looked at the other two and slowly made her way to her own room. Nan Xian Mu needed time to think while Nan Xian Yu might be arranging for more work because of the news from their father.

As for her?

She had to change some parts of her plan since the organization had started to show their surface teeth.

The mission tasks given to her was for her to blend into Nan Family.

But she knew that they would give her order later on.

And what kind of order it is, she didn’t know.

...

The day passed quietly in that stiff atmosphere.

In the afternoon, the lawyer came and discussed with Nan Hai Yan about the distribution of property and so on.

In terms of properties, both Nan Hai Yan and Lin Mei Yu had clear list and didn’t really covet what belong to others. They were sure that there wouldn’t be any conflicts whatsoever in this matter.

But the problem lies in the guardianship.

Nan Hua and Nan Xian Mu were still underage and needed their parents. They had to follow one of the two.

When they reached adulthood, they could separate their account if they wanted to.

Or if they didn’t want to, they could just stay with their family members and there was no problem with this either.

They could separate their account after they got married later in the future.

Nan Xian Yu was already an adult and Lin Mei Yu had long accepted that this first son would belong to Nan Family. From young, Nan Xian Yu also followed his father and didn’t have much feeling for this mother of his.

The conversation lasted until dinner time.

After dinner, Lin Mei Yu came with her lawyer.

Soon, they started their discussion.

The property division was very clear and both sides agreed to this matter within minutes after confirming the list for both parties.

The last thing to talk about was...

"The three children will follow me," Nan Hai Yan started.

Lin Mei Yu shook her head. "I don’t mind you taking Nan Xian Yu and Nan Hua, but Nan Xian Mu had to follow me."

She had raised Nan Xian Mu ever since he was young to follow her. Now that things had come to this, Lin Mei Yu didn’t want to let go of the successor she had cultivated ever since she was young.

"I can’t let you take him." Nan Hai Yan was also firm.

"You already have two children and didn’t even want to let me take one?" Lin Mei Yu arched her eyebrows. "Don’t be too greedy. It’s not going to do you any good."

"I’m not greedy. I just think that a person like you who could even send her own family members to the prison will not be a good mother." Nan Hai Yan looked at Lin Mei Yu. "Have you ever treated him as your own child or you only look at him as your successor?"

Clearly, it was only as a successor.

Lin Mei Yu never wanted to have a child and if it was not for the persuasion of her parents to have successor, she would not even think of having Nan Xian Mu back then.

But this decision also led to many other things.

Even if she didn’t want to raise the child, but she also didn’t want to lose the successor she had cultivated for years.

"I will not let you take him," Lin Mei Yu only repeated this.

Nan Hai Yan looked at his wife and shook his head. "Even if you bring this to the court, they will not agree with you bringing him."

Because Lin Mei Yu has never been suitable to be a mother.

Lin Mei Yu also know this. She tapped the table. "In that case, let the child decide for himself."

She was the one who had interacted with Nan Xian Mu for a long time, so she knew this boy’s personality the best. He has always been very timid and easy to coax.

This way, their attention turned to the three children who were waiting at the side.

Nan Xian Yu and Nan Hua glanced at Nan Xian Mu who was sitting in the middle, between the two of them.

Nan Xian Mu could feel everyone was looking in his direction.

He had thought about this matter for a long time.

And finally, he came to his decision.

"I want to follow my Father."
