At the Mu family.
Mu Nan just finished showering and changing clothes, then he went to his bedroom to fetch the gift he prepared and went to find Qin Ran and Cheng Juan.
As soon as he left the room, he saw three people in the hall looking at him.
They were Old Master Mu, Butler Mu, and the person-in-charge of Shanghai’s Chemical Research Institute.
Upon seeing him, the person-in-charge started frantically pouring out his grievances, then whined a little eagerly. “Young Master Mu Nan, Deputy Ning wants to take a year off.”
Mu Nan glanced at them and nodded politely. “Yes, she wants to take care of my little nephew.”
The person-in-charge originally thought he would hear some earth-shattering answer and was rather speechless to hear this.
“I’ll come along with you.” Old Master Mu stood up and followed him.
He knew that it was Qin Ran’s baby’s one-month-old celebration today.
After the incident, Mu Nan had been sent to Beijing’s hospital, and Old Master Mu’s health had originally deteriorated to no return, but thanks to Qin Ran’s experimental medicine sent to him by a freak combination of factors, he had managed to hold on until now.
Although he had never seen Mu Nan’s cousin since he came to Beijing, he had already vaguely guessed her identity.
After all, apart from the four major families in Beijing, no one could make the Liu family so serious.
Today, upon hearing about the baby’s one-month-old celebration, Old Master Mu had prepared a special gift and rushed to Beijing.
They walked out.
The car Mu Nan was driving today wasn’t the one originally given by Cheng Juan, but a black Volkswagen that he had brought by himself later on. It was ordinary and didn’t have any special points.
Old Master Mu and the others followed him.
The person-in-charge of the Research Institute turned to Old Master Mu and Butler Mu. He lowered his voice and asked, “What’s Deputy Ning thinking? Why isn’t she staying in the Research Institute and has run back to raise a child instead??”
The person-in-charge felt heartache after thinking about it. He had finally found the person from the Pharmaceutical Research Institute back then, but she had decided to return home after a year just to take care of a child…
He originally thought that he would gain the approval of Old Master Mu and Butler Mu, but unexpectedly, they both remained silent.
Mu Nan’s car was already parked in front.
He was about to make a last effort but still swallowed his voice again.
He would persuade Ning Wei when he met her later.
**
Mu Nan drove the car in the direction of the courtyard.
The further he drove, the more the road looked different from other avenues in Beijing.
The person-in-charge sat in the back seat with Butler Mu and Old Master Mu.
“Old Master, don’t you think there’s something wrong with this path…” he whispered.
Old Master Mu glanced at him, then fell silent.
The car drove further and further in.
The person-in-charge was silent now.
Mu Nan parked the car in the parking space outside.
They got out of the car, and the person-in-charge saw the wide bluestone road. He turned to Old Master Mu and said, “Old Master, does Deputy Ning’s niece live here…”
Before he could finish his words, he happened to see the car parked next to Mu Nan.
It was also a black car.
But compared to Mu Nan’s Volkswagen, this black car had a unique shape, smooth lines, and reflected a faint halo in the sun.
Compared to this car, Mu Nan’s car instantly turned into an ugly duckling. None of this was very important, however. The main point was—
The person-in-charge rubbed his eyes and stared at the car’s license plate—
0000000.
He thought he had seen wrongly, rubbed his eyes again, and took a closer look. It was still a row of zeros.
He turned to look at Mu Nan stiffly.
However, Mu Nan looked down at his phone, his long drooping eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes. He said in a cold, rigorous voice, “Let’s go in first.”
He walked in front with Old Master Mu and directly entered the large courtyard opposite.
Following behind them, the person-in-charge bowed his head and whispered to Butler Mu, “Deputy… Deputy Ning’s niece lives here?”
It was also the first time that Butler Mu was here.
He had only been to Ting Lan before, but he nodded upon hearing this. “It should be.”
The person-in-charge was speechless.
“Mu Nan.” Once they had entered, a voice called out from behind.
Mu Nan turned around to see Chang Ning, as well as a young man in a tangerine leather jacket and ripped jeans.
“Uncle Chang, Brother Dragon.” Mu Nan stopped and greeted them very politely.
“Mu Nan, why are you so serious at such a young age?” Slag Dragon walked over on his flip-flops and patted him on the back.
Then, he smiled and greeted Old Master Mu and the others without any seriousness. “Are you here to see my godson as well?”
Chang Ning faintly replied to him, “Don’t flatter yourself, who’s your godson?”
“What’s the difference? If he’s He Chen’s godson, he’s my godson as well.” Slag Dragon waved his hand casually.
Then, he turned to Old Master Mu and the others again. “You know my godson, right? He’ll inherit my mantle in the future.
“You don’t look like locals, where are you from?
“Oh, you’re Mu Nan’s grandpa. My apologies.
“Really? I also think my tangerine jacket is very handsome. My godson likes to catch this tangerine color, so I especially wore it for him. Later on, he’ll only let me hold him…”
“…”
Slag Dragon chattered on incessantly.
Chang Ning glanced at him. “You’d better shut up.”
Slag Dragon turned sideways to him. “Why? Did I say something wrong? Mu Nan, tell me…”
“Are you like this at your country’s roundtable too?” Chang Ning was very curious.
He really didn’t want to admit that the Great God Slag Dragon was such a chatterbox.
Could the prime minister of their country be more talkative than him?
Slag Dragon swayed and glared at him. “Don’t gossip.”
They walked in while talking.
They happened to bump into an old man.
“Mr. Chang.” The old man immediately greeted Chang Ning, looking very cordial.
“General Chen, hello.” Chang Ning stopped glaring at Slag Dragon.
Slag Dragon went to find Cheng Ziyu as soon as he came in.
Leaning sideways, Mu Nan glanced at Old Master Mu, his eyes cold and bright as starlight. “My mom and cousin are already inside. Let me take you in first.”
The person-in-charge looked away from General Chen and stared at the people drinking tea outside, feeling the tremendous pressure on his head.
These people drinking tea here were frequent guests on the news.
He hurriedly replied to Mu Nan, “Let’s go.”
His voice was shaking.
Mu Nan didn’t notice it and took them in directly.
**
Qin Ran and Ning Wei had just arrived.
Cheng Ziyu was placed in the cradle by Cheng Juan, and no one was allowed to hold him.
Cheng Ziyu stopped crying and stared at him with a pair of sparkling eyes.
“Let me hold him for a while. It’s been so long, he must be uncomfortable.” Master Wei rubbed his hands, unable to bear it.
Looking down at the little baby, Cheng Juan sneered. His eyebrows were clear, and he crossed his cold arms over his chest. “Then, he’ll just have to bear it. You’ll spoil him.”
If he was used to getting his way at such a young age and was influenced by this large group of lawbreakers around him, he would only be used to lawlessness in the future.
The large group of people in the room was helpless.
“Sister, brother-in-law, my grandpa is here.” Mu Nan brought Old Master Mu in.
Then, Mu Nan greeted the big bosses in the room one by one.
“Great Grandpa.”
“Master Wei.”
“Mr. Lou.”
“Mr. Ken.”
“…”
The two sides greeted one another.
After coming in, the person-in-charge following Butler Mu finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The few people in the living who frequently appeared in the news had scared him, but the people here were more normal.
Old Master Mu handed Qin Ran the gift he had chosen, a safety lock he had begged for at the temple for half a year.
Cheng Juan solemnly put it on the little boy.
Lou Yue also followed the momentum and took out a trap box, which looked a little old.
“I didn’t prepare any gifts.” The person-in-charge whispered to Butler Mu, “How about I just give him a red packet?”
He hadn’t known it was a one-month-old celebration today.
Butler Mu thought for a while and nodded. “Sure.”
While the two were talking, Kenneth stood up. He wasn’t from China and didn’t know about such etiquette.
He directly took out the gun in his pocket and put it in the little boy’s cradle. “There you go.”
“F*ck, he doesn’t want it!!” Upon seeing what was in the cradle, Gu Xichi picked it up quickly and threw it back at Kenneth.
Kenneth squinted.
“Mr. Gu, this gift, erm…” Zhou Shan coughed. “It’s also Mr. Ken’s sincerity.”
Although it was a little bad to give a gun to a child…
However, Zhou Shan had gotten used to it these days.
Gu Xichi looked at Kenneth with a sneer. “Do you dare to tell him what you do?”
Zhou Shan and the others exchanged glances.
“A terrorist organization.”
Zhou Shan murmured, “… I’m sorry, I was wrong.”
“You want him to take the third-highest post? Dream on.” Gu Xichi gently brushed off his sleeves.
