I became the police station's darling after I could understand what the furry creature was sayi

Nan Punian understood; this was a way of giving credit to Nan Shu.

"Thank you, Uncle Ji."

"We should be thanking Xiao Nan."

Ji Feng looked at Nan Shu, his eyes filled with admiration and longing. A talented person... he wanted to poach her.

He was already mentally assessing the probability of success.

Perhaps Ji Feng's gaze was too intense, because Nan Punian, who was also a talent scout, immediately noticed it and stepped forward to block Nan Shu. "It's getting late, Uncle Ji, you should go ahead and get busy. We won't disturb you any longer."

Winter days are naturally dark, and these past few days it looks like it's going to snow in Beijing. The sky is overcast, and it's only a little before five o'clock, but it'll be dark soon.

"it is good."

Ji Feng glanced at Nan Shu again with reluctance, knowing that Nan Punian was probably unwilling to let her go, and sighed inwardly.

Nan Punian casually drove out of the underground parking garage in a two-seater sports car. He looked at Xu Yunli, who was usually quiet, and said, "There's no need for formalities between us. You can take a taxi home."

Xu Yunli: ...

Xu Yunli didn't offer much help throughout the whole process. Seeing Nan Shu stamping her feet by the car, he pursed his lips, responded softly, and instructed, "Go back and make some ginger soup."

"Okay, got it."

Nan Punian waved his hand, urging Nan Shu to get in the car. Xu Yunli stood there and watched the car leave before taking out his phone to hail a taxi.

……

"South Team, where are we going?"

Nan Shu really wasn't used to the alternating hot and cold temperatures in the north. She had to take off her coat when she went inside and put it back on when she went outside. The constant change in temperature made her nose feel a bit stuffy.

Looking out the window, the surrounding buildings looked unfamiliar and didn't seem to be the way back to Qingyu Tower.

"Back to the old Nan family house."

Nan Punian paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, Xiaoshu, I didn't tell you in advance that I moved back to the old house today. The hotel is a mixed bag with lots of tourists, and I didn't feel comfortable letting you stay alone, so I did it first and asked the hotel staff to help pack your luggage and send it to the old house."

Nan Shu: ...

You call a seven-star hotel a "mixed bag"?
Moreover, this is a hotel under the Nan family's umbrella. How can you, Captain Nan, smear your own company like this?
Nan Shu had no objections to Nan Punian's arrangements; she was fine with staying anywhere, except...

"Team Leader Nan, should I buy some gifts?"

Nan Shu suddenly tensed up.

This was her first time "meeting the parents," and she wasn't quite familiar with the etiquette, but she knew that when visiting someone's home, it was customary to bring a gift.

"Need not."

Nan Punian smiled and glanced at her, "Don't be nervous, Grandpa has a very good personality, and there's a high probability you won't run into him."

Nan Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

After half an hour.

Reception room.

Standing behind Nan Punian, Nan Shu looked at the old master Nan, who was sitting in the armchair with a smile on his face, as if he had been waiting for a long time, and fell silent.

"You must be Xiao Shu. I've heard Anian mention you before. You're such a well-behaved and adorable girl. Come here and let Grandpa take a look at you."

Grandpa Nan revealed a loving smile that Nan Punian had never shown since birth, and waved to Nan Shu.

Nan Shu: ...

Nan Shu obediently called out "Grandpa Nan," stepped forward, and as she passed Nan Punian, she turned her head and glared at him.

Nan Punian raised his hand and touched his nose.

He hadn't expected his grandfather to be so enthusiastic. When he brought Ali back, it was Uncle Li who brought his grandfather's meals to the house.

"Are you settling into the capital? Are you cold? Are you hungry? Butler Li, ask the kitchen if the food is ready. Oh, and make a bowl of ginger soup. The young lady's face is all red from the cold; she must be freezing." Butler Li smiled and agreed, glancing at Nan Shu, "I'll go and urge them right away."

This is the first time the Third Young Master has taken the initiative to bring a girl home, no wonder the Master is so happy.

Grandpa Nan was so hospitable that Nan Shu didn't need to say a word at all, and Uncle Li quickly set the food on the table.

It seemed that Nan Punian had been forgotten by Old Master Nan.

After the meal, Nan Shu was completely stuffed.

"I've already had Uncle Li prepare the guest room. Xiao Shu will be staying here for the next few days. If she needs anything, just tell Anian..."

Grandpa Nan stared at Nan Shu, his gaze lingering on her almond-shaped eyes, and he couldn't help but be a little dazed.

"It's so similar."

Nan Shu raised her hand to cover her eyes. "Does she look like Captain Nan's mother?"

"more than…"

Grandpa Nan smiled and said, "My wife also has almond-shaped eyes..." This shows that the Nan family has a fairly consistent aesthetic sense.

After getting to know Nan Shu, the old man became more and more satisfied with her, even feeling that his third grandson, this clueless and straightforward man, was not good enough for the young girl.

Grandpa Nan got up, walked to the cabinet next to him, opened the cabinet, took out a thick photo album, and handed it to Nan Shu.

Nan Shu was taken aback, took it, opened the cover, and saw a family photo.

The photo was well preserved, but even so, the edges of the photo still turned yellow.

Grandpa Nan sat in a grand chair, with the three Nan brothers squatting in front of him. They were small, like second or third graders. A couple in their early thirties stood behind Grandpa Nan. The man's features were about six-tenths similar to Nan Punian's. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a gentle expression. He was supporting the woman's waist.

The woman wore a long gray cotton dress that hugged her body curves, revealing her already noticeable pregnant belly, which looked to be about five months along. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tenderness, and her slender hands caressed her belly, radiating maternal glow.

original.

This should be a very warm and loving family.

Nan Shu thought to herself.

But they were all destroyed by human traffickers!

Nan Shu sighed inwardly and turned to the second page.

Compared to the family photo, the photo in front of me seems to be from a much older era. It's black and white, and the man and woman look to be in their early twenties. Judging from the pattern on their skirts, the woman was probably wearing a floral dress with puff sleeves, which was very popular at the time. The man was wearing a Zhongshan suit, and the two of them were facing the camera with shy and bashful smiles.

Even after such a long time, when you see the photos again, you can still feel the youthfulness unique to that era emanating from the two of them.

“This is my wife, Anian’s grandmother.”

Grandpa Nan looked at the photo with a sigh.

Nan Punian had never actually met his grandmother, because his grandmother had passed away before he was born, or rather, on the very day his father was born.

Not to mention him, even his father had never met his grandmother.

"Xiao Shu looks a bit like her grandmother."

Nan Punian poked his head over, stared at the photo for a long time, and suddenly spoke.

Nan Shu: ...

"So Xiaoshu and our family are destined to be together."

Grandpa Nan said with a smile, otherwise, he wouldn't have felt an immediate sense of familiarity upon seeing Nan Shu for the first time.

"It really is quite good..."

Before Nan Punian could finish speaking, the heavy curtain was lifted, and a cold wind rushed in.

Nan Yannian seemed surprised to see Nan Shu there. After a moment of surprise, he nodded to her and turned to call out:
"Grandpa." (End of Chapter)
