Ma'am You Have Been Uncovered

“Elder Mu, you should know that we had a meeting this morning. It was a special speech by Mr. Gu. He has been in Shanghai recently.” Director Hao had forgotten about this matter because of the experimental drug. He thought about it and said, “If possible… No, forget it.”

“Mr. Gu?” Elder Mu glanced at him.

Director Hao explained, “Mr. Gu is a closed disciple of the dean of the Medical Organization, who has two closed disciples. He’s second to none in cell virology.”

After sending off Old Master Mu, the director of the pharmaceutical department spoke with obvious surprise, “This Mu family can actually obtain the experimental drug from the First Laboratory. I heard that these drugs are extremely popular with several forces in Continent M and are very limited in quantity. With the experimental drug in their hands, if they can invite Mr. Gu as well, then Old Master Mu’s illness might not be hopeless, after all.”

Director Hao shook his head. Mr. Gu had been concentrating on scientific research these days and had just developed a living enzyme. Hence, he had been cooped up in the laboratory, and mostly only received intractable disease discussion groups from several domestic hospitals.

It was too difficult to invite him.

This was also why he hadn’t continued asking Elder Mu just now.

The director of the pharmaceutical department also thought so casually.

…

Sitting in the car, the Mu family still felt like they were dreaming.

Having met Qin Ran and Cheng Mu, Butler Mu already felt like these were still acceptable, but the most unacceptable thing was Mu Zongxi.

In his eyes, Mu Nan was an ordinary person with no fighting capacity, so Mu Zongxi hadn’t cared much that such a person had robbed him of his inheritance and returned home.

But now…

Butler Mu and Old Master Mu were both speechless.

Everyone sat quietly in the car.

At 8 pm, Mu Nan came to the Mu family’s house to discuss the memorial ceremony of Mu Zongyuan’s death. This was the first time Mu Nan was present, and Old Master Mu wanted to continue discussing with him.

As soon as Mu Nan entered, he could feel most of the Mu family staring at him.

A white medicine bottle was solemnly placed on the table.

“Xiao Nan, your cousin’s drug…” Old Master Mu glanced at him.

Looking at their expressions, Mu Nan figured out that both Qin Ran and Gu Xichi were playing tricks, so he said slowly with a casual expression, “It’s the health supplement that my cousin gave me. I don’t know where she bought it from, either.”

Mu Nan skillfully deflected the problem and didn’t say much else about Qin Ran and Gu Xichi.

Mu Zongxi slightly heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

It should have been a mistake, or Mu Nan wouldn’t be taking it so lightly. Now that Old Master Mu was about to make a will, if Mu Nan really had any abilities, he wouldn’t remain silent and not seek benefits for himself.

But even so, some members of the Mu family had already been shaken, and their views of Mu Nan had changed for the better.

This could be seen from Mu Nan’s seating.

While sitting quietly and eating dinner, Mu Nan’s phone rang. He looked down at it and saw that it was Ning Wei.

Everyone on the table was watching his movements, and it would be too deliberate to pick up the phone outside.

He picked up directly without going out. “Mom.”

“Have you checked it?” On the other end of the phone, Ning Wei was silent for a while before asking.

“Yes, we’ll go to the cemetery tomorrow… Come and join us.” Mu Nan pursed his lips and put down his chopsticks, his eyelashes drooping.

Mu Nan had always known what was gnawing at Ning Wei’s heart. When she had dropped out of high school to work, he had discovered her chemistry doctorate diploma in his grandma’s belongings.

Compared to Beijing, she was even more resistant to Shanghai.

After a long while, Ning Wei said, “I’ll think about it. Take care of yourself.”

Mu Nan calmly hung up. Everyone at the table, including Old Master Mu, had heard him calling “Mom”. Old Master Mu ate a piece of vegetable and pondered for a moment before asking, “Your mom is coming to see Zongyuan tomorrow?”

Mu Nan nodded slightly. He understood Ning Wei well and knew that she would definitely come.

“Butler Mu, go and buy a ticket for Madam Ning.” Old Master Mu nodded without asking much else.

It was the summer vacation, and lots of people came to the popular tourist spots in Shanghai on vacation. At this time, it was almost impossible to book a ticket for Shanghai.

Tickets could only be booked three days later.
