Chapter 1566

The closest person…

these words made Ning Anran lower her head, her eyes complex.

However, when she raised her head, her eyes were filled with obedience and docility, along with concern for the old man.

“I know, Grandpa always loves me the most, but I…

I’m a bit scared.”

“Scared of what?” The old man frowned, “Have they bullied you again?”

“No, Brother and my second brother treat me well, they haven’t bullied me.”

Ning Anran smiled faintly, but it was evident to anyone that her smile was perfunctory.

This matter, the old man couldn’t do anything about it.

Why were they able to accept Xiaxia so easily in the past, but now treat An Ran like this?

Could it be that they were still unwilling to accept her solely because of Baili Xia?

“An Ran, listen, you can be close with Brother and second brother, but in the future, keep your distance from Jiu.”

“Grandpa, why?” Ning Anran was startled.

The old man took a deep breath, calmed down, and seemed to muster the greatest determination before speaking softly.

“Jiu…

has been very active recently, I’m a bit concerned that he’s…

bad for the Mu Group.”

“How could it be?” Ning Anran looked incredulous, “He’s already the president of the Mu Corporation, why would he be bad for the Mu Group?”

“Grandpa can’t be sure yet, but Grandpa must take some actions first.”

He had no plans to involve Ning Anran in this matter, after all, she was still young.

However, Mu Xiaojiu’s recent actions were truly unsettling.

An Ran is still young, and this is another reason he is uneasy; he is genuinely afraid that one day, Jiu…

After pondering, he suddenly stared at Ning Anran seriously.

“Tomorrow, I’ll take you to meet a few elders. Remember, they will be people you can trust in the future.”

…

At night, Mu Xiaojiu was working in the study room when the door was gently knocked.

After finishing his task and closing his laptop, he softly uttered.

“Come in.”

Ye Hua gently pushed the door open and walked in.

“Mr. Xiaojiu, Ning Anran wants to see you.”

Mu Xiaojiu slightly furrowed his brow, wondering why Ning Anran would seek him now.

At night, except for that girl, he didn’t want to see anyone.

“No meeting.”

Ye Hua seemed to have anticipated Mu Xiaojiu’s response and added, “She mentioned something about the old man.”

Mu Xiaojiu hesitated for a moment before responding lightly, “Let her in.”

Ye Hua exited the room and returned soon with Ning Anran.

Ning Anran entered the study room, feeling somewhat uneasy, not knowing where to stand.

It was not until Ye Hua walked up behind her and gave her a slight nudge that she sat down on the chair opposite Mu Xiaojiu’s desk.

Once seated, she looked at Mu Xiaojiu and called softly, “Mr. Xiaojiu.”

Mu Xiaojiu responded faintly, his gaze fixed on the book in his hand, seemingly not focused on her.

Faced with Mu Xiaojiu in such a state, Ning Anran felt a bit panicked inside.

She took two deep breaths before speaking in a calm voice, “Grandpa talked to me today about the shares.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s palm involuntarily tightened but quickly returned to normal.

His gaze still lingering on the book, he nonchalantly said, “Oh?

What did he say?”

“He has already transferred ten percent of the Mu Corporation’s shares to my name.”

“Good, swift action.” Mu Xiaojiu nodded slightly, closed the book in his hand, and placed it on the desk.

Then he looked at Ning Anran and said in a bland tone, “Since that’s the case, let’s finish up the remaining matters.”
