The butler of the Mu family observed the man and woman following Mu Nan. The man was tall and looked quite fierce.

The woman was wearing a red and white plaid shirt, a baseball cap, and a mask on her face. She was looking down at her phone and her face couldnt be seen clearly.

Their clothes were quite simple, and there was no obvious brand.

In the past, Mu Ying worshiped gold and left her mother, so Butler Mu didnt think highly of Mu Nans family.

However, Mu Nan and Ning Wei exceeded his expectations as they werent like Mu Ying.

Seeing the two relatives who followed Mu Nan, Butler Mu subconsciously frowned because he thought of Mu Ying.

His expression didnt change too much as Mu Nan walked over. He only shook his head and said clearly, This is my cousin. She needs to visit Shanghai for a job.

Mu Nan only briefly introduced Qin Ran and didnt say anything more.

She seemed to be colder than Butler Mu.

Miss Qin. Butler Mu greeted Qin Ran. He initially wanted to tell Mu Nan some things, but after seeing Qin Ran and Cheng Mu, he didnt talk too much.

It only took two hours to travel from Beijing to Shanghai.

The weather in the two cities was similar.

The group got off the plane.

The Mu familys car was already parked at the entrance of the airport. Since Qin Ran was Mu Nans cousin, Butler Mu notified the chauffeur, who drove a BMW.

After the group collected their luggage, Butler Mu looked at Qin Ran politely. Miss Qin, where are you going? Ill send you there.

Qin Ran didnt expect Butler Mus invitation. She raised her head slightly and smiled. Thank you, but we already have a car.

After that, she looked at Mu Nan. You can leave first. Look for me if you need any help.

Mu Nan knew that Cheng Juan was well connected, and with Cheng Mu beside Qin Ran, there was no need to worry about her. He nodded and said, Ok. When Im done visiting them I will look for you.

Ok. She waved at him lazily.

Mu Nan left with Butler Mu. When he got in the car, Butler Mu couldnt help but look in Qin Rans direction. He was surprised because he thought that Qin Ran would ride in their car and might even take photos. There will be long queues for taxis at the Shanghai airport, and its not easy to get one now. Young Master Mu Nan, you cousin

Dont worry about them. A car will pick them up, Mu Nan said.

Hearing this, Butler Mu was shocked. Your cousin has other relatives in Shanghai?

It took several years for the Mu family to find Mu Nan. They only recently found a detective who managed to find out that Ning Wei was in Ninghai Town.

They managed to find Ning Wei last year, along with Mu Nan and Mu Ying. Mu Nan ignored them, but Mu Ying happily left Ning Wei and returned to Shanghai.

They didnt find any other relatives.

Shes here to look for a friend. Qin Ran told Mu Nan yesterday that she came to find Emperor Yan.

I see. Butler Mu nodded and didnt ask further questions. Mu Nans relatives were everywhere, and the Mu family was complicated now, so he didnt pay too much attention to Qin Ran. You will see your grandpa later. You can visit your cousin tomorrow.

Mu Nan didnt respond.

He was used to getting the cold shoulder. Butler Mu initially wanted to talk about his cousin, but since Mu Nan didnt want to talk, he didnt ask any more questions.

They reached the Mu family house after more than half an hour.

The Mu familys villa was located in the center of Shanghai. It was heavily guarded, inconspicuous, luxurious, and somewhat exotic. It was worth every bit of money and not something ordinary people could own in Shanghai.

The Mu family seemed to be of some status in Shanghai.

Butler Mu introduced the villa to Mu Nan. Your grandpa has prepared a room on the second floor for you.

After that, he noticed Mu Nans expression. He didnt seem to be surprised by the villa at all.

It was quite unexpected to Butler Mu.

Unfortunately, Butler Mu didnt know that he had seen the large courtyard of the Cheng family house and Cheng Juans villa which had a laboratory, garden, and golf course. It was difficult for Mu Nan to be impressed by other buildings.

Butler Mu concealed his surprise and took Mu Nan inside to see the Mu family and his grandpa.

The Old Master of the Mu family had been waiting for Mu Nan at the entrance. He seemed to be in poor health. When he saw Mu Nan, he couldnt help but stand up, and the corners of his mouth trembled.

Xiao Nan, you you are back. He was obviously emotional.

This wasnt the first time Mu Nan had seen him, so he only slightly nodded. Mr. Mu.

He didnt call him grandpa.

However, Old Master Mu didnt mind. He only turned and said to the servant, Ok, take him up to pay his respects to Zongyuan.

Mu Zongyuan was Mu Nans 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.

Didnt you say that Xiao Nan had a cousin? Why isnt she here? Old Master Mu asked the butler in the study.

Butler Mu shook his head and hesitated. Young Master Xiao Nans cousin isnt like Miss Mu Ying. They left by themselves.

The Mu family only had information about a few people around Ning Wei. He understood Mu Nans family in Yun Cheng. Although Ning Weis work conditions werent good, Mu Nan was exceptional.

Not much was known about Mu Nans cousin.

Forget it, then. Dont worry about it. Old Master Mu looked at him deeply and sighed. Now Im thinking about how I can make Xiao Nan accept the Mu family. This is the most important thing now Its all my fault. I should have investigated more at the start. If I knew that Ning Wei had Zongyuans children, they wouldnt have lived apart from us for more than ten years

Butler Mu initially wanted to say that Qin Rans temperament wasnt ordinary.

He thought that she was a relative who came after hearing that Mu Nan was part of the Mu family, but it didnt 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 Weis 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 dont you stay at my manor?

Its too far away. Qin Ran glanced at him. Its 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 hes 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 couldnt let them think she would always be there to help them when something happened.

However, she still paid attention to Mu Nans safety.

Qin Ran didnt know much about the Mu family and wouldnt forcefully intervene if it wasnt necessary.

It looks like he wants to go back to the Mu family now. Cheng Juan smiled. Tell him that its 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.

Im going to look for my cousin. Mu Nan looked at the tourist map he found online.

Qin Ran didnt 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.

It was a weekday today, and not many people were there. The fragrant scent of snacks wafted in the air.

The place was very quiet.

Qin Ran arrived on time at 10 am.

Try this. I think its quite nice. Mu Nan ordered many snacks for her to try.

He was cold, tall, and was fond of showing off.

The store owner secretly took a picture of him.

Qin Ran played a game with Lin Siran the entire night, so she was a little tired and ate slowly.

How is it? Mu Nan asked softly.

Its ok. Qin Ran truly didnt have an appetite. The food in Shanghai didnt suit her taste buds, and she also didnt eat much in the morning.

However, after seeing Mu Nan like that, she pulled down her baseball cap and ate more.

The two ate slowly and chatted.

Butler Mu, who had been following Mu Nan, couldnt help but feel that Qin Rans temperament was too cold. Even he didnt dare to say much.

Cheng Mu, who was sitting behind Qin Ran, noticed Butler Mus strangeness and couldnt help but ask, Are you ok?

Huh? Butler Mu came back to his senses. He glanced at Qin Ran and Mu Nan and hesitated before saying, Young Master Xiao Nan, have you forgotten that you have a family dinner at noon today? If you want to see your cousin

Cheng Mu looked at him strangely.

When he saw Old Master Mu yesterday, Butler Mu didnt even feel this pressure. Why did Qin Ran make him feel so nervous?

Cheng Mu asked directly, Young Master Mus cousin?

Butler Mu glanced at Qin Ran and paused for a moment before explaining, Its Miss Zining. She doesnt stay in the Mu family. Shes a master author under Pinnacle Studios and has many connections with the Mu family. She doesnt come back often. If Young Master Mu Nan comes back home, and she gives her support
