Ma'am You Have Been Uncovered

“Xiao Nan, you… you are back.” He was obviously emotional.

This wasn’t the first time Mu Nan had seen him, so he only slightly nodded. “Mr. Mu.”

He didn’t call him grandpa.

However, Old Master Mu didn’t mind. He only turned and said to the servant, “Ok, take him up to pay his respects to Zongyuan.”

Mu Zongyuan was Mu Nan’s biological father and the previous Eldest Master of the Mu family.

Mu Nan quietly followed the servant in.

No one disturbed him.

Old Master Mu went to the study with Butler Mu.

“Didn’t you say that Xiao Nan had a cousin? Why isn’t she here?” Old Master Mu asked the butler in the study.

Butler Mu shook his head and hesitated. “Young Master Xiao Nan’s cousin isn’t like Miss Mu Ying. They left by themselves.”

The Mu family only had information about a few people around Ning Wei. He understood Mu Nan’s family in Yun Cheng. Although Ning Wei’s work conditions weren’t good, Mu Nan was exceptional.

Not much was known about Mu Nan’s cousin.

“Forget it, then. Don’t worry about it.” Old Master Mu looked at him deeply and sighed. “Now I’m thinking about how I can make Xiao Nan accept the Mu family. This is the most important thing now… It’s all my fault. I should have investigated more at the start. If I knew that Ning Wei had Zongyuan’s children, they wouldn’t have lived apart from us for more than ten years…”

Butler Mu initially wanted to say that Qin Ran’s temperament wasn’t ordinary.

He thought that she was a relative who came after hearing that Mu Nan was part of the Mu family, but it didn’t seem like it.

After hearing what Old Master Mu said, he quickly said, “Old Master, you must not say this. No one wanted the accident at the chemical plant to happen, but…”

“What?”

“Do you remember that Madam Ning Wei had a problem with her left leg? This time when I went to Beijing, her leg was healed,” Butler Mu said.

“Her leg was healed?” Old Master Mu felt that it was strange.

Ning Wei’s leg was struck by an unidentifiable disease. At that time, Mu Zongyuan went to several hospitals to no avail. But it was healed now?

…

In the hotel.

Qin Ran received a call from Mu Nan after she put her luggage down.

She answered the phone, took a shower, and then received a video call from Cheng Juan.

“Why did you pick it up so late?” Cheng Juan looked at her gently.

“I was just on a call with Mu Nan.” Qin Ran casually found a place to put her phone.

Cheng Juan nodded.

“Wait for me for two days. I will go to Shanghai after I settle some things in the laboratory.” In the video, Cheng Juan put down the test tube in his hand and told her unhurriedly. “The temperature in Shanghai will be lower. I have placed a jacket in the luggage.”

“I got it,” Qin Ran casually replied.

Behind Cheng Juan, Gu Xichi came over in a white coat. “Xiao Ran, are you staying in a hotel? Why don’t you stay at my manor?”

“It’s too far away.” Qin Ran glanced at him. “It’s an hour away from the city.”

Gu Xichi was speechless. “Alright…”

He rubbed his nose and walked away.

“How is Xiao Nan? Do I need to help?” Cheng Juan asked her.

Qin Ran sat down. “Little Aunt honestly told us that my true little aunt and uncle died for the three of them. I think he’s investigating the incident regarding his father. I will help to look after him in Shanghai.”

Whether it was the Qin family, Mu Nan, Nan Huiyao, or them, Qin Ran started to gradually let go as she couldn’t let them think she would always be there to help them when something happened.

However, she still paid attention to Mu Nan’s safety.

Qin Ran didn’t know much about the Mu family and wouldn’t forcefully intervene if it wasn’t necessary.

“It looks like he wants to go back to the Mu family now.” Cheng Juan smiled. “Tell him that it’s better if he follows you and inherits the Research Institute.”

Mu Nan returned to the Mu family mainly to find out what happened to his father.

…

The next day.

Mu Nan went out early in the morning.

“Young Master Xiao Nan, where are you going?” Butler Mu called him after he saw him heading out with his backpack.

“I’m going to look for my cousin.” Mu Nan looked at the tourist map he found online.

Qin Ran didn’t have a good appetite recently. Before she arrived in Shanghai, she received messages from different people.

This map was given to him by Qin Xiuchen. There were locations for food and leisure.

“Are you looking for Miss Qin?” Butler Mu was startled. Seeing Mu Nan walk out without saying much, he hurriedly followed him.

Mu Nan and Qin Ran had already agreed on a popular street.
