Chapter 607: Web Comic Volume (7): Arrival in Shanghai, Great Master Author

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 couldn’t 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 didn’t think highly of Mu Nan’s family.

However, Mu Nan and Ning Wei exceeded his expectations as they weren’t like Mu Ying.

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

His expression didn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 family’s car was already parked at the entrance of the airport. Since Qin Ran was Mu Nan’s 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? I’ll send you there.”

Qin Ran didn’t expect Butler Mu’s 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 I’m 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 couldn’t help but look in Qin Ran’s 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 it’s not easy to get one now. Young Master Mu Nan, you cousin...”

“Don’t 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 didn’t find any other relatives.

“She’s 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 didn’t ask further questions. Mu Nan’s relatives were everywhere, and the Mu family was complicated now, so he didn’t pay too much attention to Qin Ran. “You will see your grandpa later. You can visit your cousin tomorrow.”

Mu Nan didn’t respond.

He was used to getting the cold shoulder. Butler Mu initially wanted to talk about his cousin, but since Mu Nan didn’t want to talk, he didn’t ask any more questions.

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

The Mu family’s 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 Nan’s expression. He didn’t seem to be surprised by the villa at all.

It was quite unexpected to Butler Mu.

Unfortunately, Butler Mu didn’t know that he had seen the large courtyard of the Cheng family house and Cheng Juan’s 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 couldn’t help but stand up, and the corners of his mouth trembled.

“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.

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 it’s 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.

“It’s ok.” Qin Ran truly didn’t have an appetite. The food in Shanghai didn’t suit her taste buds, and she also didn’t 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, couldn’t help but feel that Qin Ran’s temperament was too cold. Even he didn’t dare to say much.

Cheng Mu, who was sitting behind Qin Ran, noticed Butler Mu’s strangeness and couldn’t 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 didn’t even feel this pressure. Why did Qin Ran make him feel so nervous?

Cheng Mu asked directly, “Young Master Mu’s cousin?”

Butler Mu glanced at Qin Ran and paused for a moment before explaining, “It’s Miss Zining. She doesn’t stay in the Mu family. She’s a master author under Pinnacle Studios and has many connections with the Mu family. She doesn’t come back often. If Young Master Mu Nan comes back home, and she gives her support...”
