In the past few days, Xing Nian received a message from Xiao Mingheng, and learned that he intended to visit in person.

When Mr. Mu and Mrs. Mu learned that Xing Nian's biological father was Xiao Mingheng, the second master of the Xiao family, they both smiled with relief.

Old Madam Mu held Xing Nian's hand tightly and said with emotion:

"Granddaughter-in-law, I knew that with such an outstanding child like you, how could your biological father be mediocre? It turns out that you are the daughter of the second son of the Xiao family."

Hearing this, Xing Nian asked playfully, "Grandma, are you able to predict the future again?"

"Speaking of which, we haven't had any contact with the Xiao family for many years. This reunion is actually for the purpose of recognizing relatives. It's really unpredictable."

Soon, the housekeeper announced that Mr. Xiao was visiting.

As soon as Xiao Mingheng entered the room, he went straight to Xing Nian. Since they parted at the coffee shop last time, he was looking forward to seeing his daughter again. He immediately asked Xing Nian about her well-being and presented her with a carefully selected gift.

Xiao Mingheng took great pains to choose this gift. Since he didn't know what Xing Nian liked, he spent several days selecting and finally got something he thought Xing Nian would like.

Seeing Xing Nian's joy when he opened the gift, Xiao Mingheng finally felt relieved.

"Cough cough."

Old Master Mu coughed twice behind him, reminding Xiao Mingheng who was immersed in joy.

He quickly turned around and greeted Mr. Mu: "Uncle Mu, long time no see."

"Yes, it's been many years since we last met. I remember you were still a student the last time I saw you, but now you're a father."

Mr. Mu responded while frowning slightly. He knew very well that Xiao Mingheng was in poor health and often needed a wheelchair to get around. He did not come in a wheelchair this time, and it was obvious that he was forcing himself to come.

"Don't stand there, please come in and sit down." Mr. Mu greeted.

Xing Nian also realized Xiao Mingheng's physical condition and hurried forward to help him sit down on the sofa.

The whole living room is filled with a harmonious and warm atmosphere.

Mu Huaichen sat quietly aside, watching this scene filled with happiness, and was sincerely happy that Xing Nian had found her biological father.

After the meal, Xiao Mingheng suggested that Xing Nian should go home for a visit. After all, she is the blood of the Xiao family and the family elders should be informed of the matter.

Xing Nian deeply agreed and nodded in agreement, thinking that it was natural to meet his biological father's family.

Before leaving, Xiao Mingheng had a private conversation with Mu Huaichen for a while, but the content of the conversation is unknown.

Afterwards, he said goodbye to Xing Nian and promised that the Xiao family would always be her solid backing and that he, as a father, would give her his full support.

After Xing Nian watched Xiao Mingheng leave, he turned to Mu Huaichen and asked, "Father pulled you aside just now. What did he say?"

Mu Huaichen chuckled and replied: "Dad gave me a warning, telling me that if I dare to bully you, even if the Mu family is prominent, the Xiao family will never let me off easily."

Xing Nian's mouth curled up when she heard this, and she felt warm in her heart. In addition to her master and senior brother, there was now another person who was willing to support her, and she cherished this feeling very much.

Immersed in joy, Xing Nian suddenly joked, "You are getting bolder and bolder now. As soon as my dad came, you shouted directly."

Mu Huaichen hugged Xing Nian tightly and said with a smile: "I didn't shout wrongly. My father-in-law's warning was actually a recognition of me."

Xing Nian pushed him gently and said with a smile: "You are good at making yourself look good."

In the following days, because Xiao Minghui, the head of the Xiao family, was not there, they still had to wait for him to come back before they could take Xing Nian back to their roots.

So Xiao Mingheng suggested that after Xiao Minghui came back, he would take Xing Nian to the Xiao family to meet the elders in the family.

Everything is moving in a good direction, but there are people who make people unhappy.

These days, Mu Huaichen was extremely busy. He did not return home at night and left again in the morning. This continued for several days. Xing Nian learned from Aunt Li that Mu Huaichen had not returned for several days in a row.

Although Mu Huaichen had told him in advance that he was busy recently and would be back late, he hadn't come back for several days in a row and didn't know what he was busy with, which made Xing Nian feel confused.

So, at noon, she took her lunch box and went to Mu Group to find Mu Huaichen.

After arriving, the office was empty. Just as she was wondering, Mu Huaichen's phone rang at the right time.

Before the other party could speak, Xing Nian asked anxiously: "Husband, where have you been? Why aren't you in the office?"

"You came to find me?" Mu Huaichen's voice came.

"Well, Aunt Li said you haven't been home these few days. What happened to the company? Are you so busy that you can't even take care of your family?"

"Niannian, I'm sorry, there were some problems in the overseas company and I need to go there immediately to deal with them. I'm telling you on the phone that you should try to stay at home during this period and reduce going out. Be sure to bring a bodyguard with you when you go out." Mu Huaichen's tone revealed a rare seriousness.

Xing Nian could feel Mu Huaichen's worry, but he had never reminded her about safety so seriously.

She couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen? Or is there someone who is against you and might take advantage of me?"

"I don't know either. I hope I'm just worrying too much. Nian Nian, you must be careful when I'm not around. I'll finish dealing with things over there and come back as soon as possible."

The sound of the airport boarding announcement could be heard faintly on the other end of the phone. After the two exchanged a few words of advice, they hung up the phone.

Xing Nian frowned. Although she didn't know the specific situation of the overseas company, she knew that Mu Huaichen was in a position that would inevitably attract attention. Therefore, she decided to follow Mu Huaichen's instructions and reduce going out in the near future to ensure her own safety.

In the past two days, Xing Nian has been staying at home without going out. The recent exhibition mentioned by Qi Anran came to her mind, and she wanted to go with her. After thinking about it, she decided to give up and suggested that her senior brother accompany her so that she would avoid being a "light bulb".

Just when she was about to call Qi Anran, she called.

"An Ran, I was just trying to contact you when you called. However, I may not be able to accompany you to the exhibition. Otherwise, why don't you ask your senior brother? You two are in tune with each other now, so if I go there, wouldn't I be asking for dog food?" Xing Nian spoke frankly as soon as he answered the phone.

However, there was silence on the other end of the phone. Xing Nian called "An Ran" repeatedly, but no one answered.

Suddenly, a sinister male voice sounded. It was Helan Xi. "Mrs. Mu, can you still recognize my voice?"

Xing Nian was shocked, "Helan Xi? Why is it you? How did An Ran's phone get into your hands? What did you do to An Ran?" A series of questions revealed her anxiety and worry.

Helan Xi's tone was calm, in stark contrast to Xing Nian's nervousness. "The little friend you're talking about? I didn't hurt her, I just invited her to be my guest."

Xing Nian was furious, "You arrested An Ran? Helan Xi, you are playing with fire!"

Helan Xi's voice was threatening, "Madam Mu, my life or death is still unpredictable, but the safety of your friend is in your hands."

"What exactly do you want?" Xing Nian asked.

"Let's meet. It's been a long time since we last met." Helan Xi proposed a meeting and informed the location. He also warned Xing Nian not to go alone and not to make any small moves, as his men were closely monitoring her.
