Chapter 253: It Was Easy to Confess
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Dr. Gu paused when he heard Mu Anan casually mention ‘Xiao Jhi.’
However, he only paused momentarily and did not pay too much attention to that form of address.
Dr. Gu asked, “Haven’t you seen it yet?”
Mu Anan shook her head, “Go ahead. Just tell me when you’re done.”
Dr. Gu glanced at Mu Anan and said nothing more. He lowered his head to look at the photos and videos in the chat box.
Mu Anan had thought that Dr. Gu would give her an answer just by taking a look.
However, Dr. Gu remained silent for two to three minutes, which made Mu Anan a little frustrated.
She subconsciously reached into her pocket to look for a cigarette before realizing she usually did not carry a cigarette with her.
She didn’t smoke much.
Smoking was just for fun initially.
Mu Anan got up and was about to go to Dr. Gu’s side to search for cigarettes.
But just as she was about to do that, Dr. Gu spoke first, “Miss Anan, you no longer have to smoke.”
“What?”
“This person is not Zhong Ting.” Dr. Gu said as he turned the phone screen to Mu Anan.
It was a photo of a girl around Mu Anan’s age.
The girl had a slim figure, and her hair was tied up in a refreshing manner.
Her facial features were plain, and there was nothing special about her.
Dr. Gu took out his phone and started fiddling with it. Then, he also turned his phone screen to Mu Anan.
The two phones were placed side by side to compare both photos.
Compared to the girl in Mu Anan’s phone, though the girl in Dr. Gu’s phone also had plain facial features, overall, she looked pure, like a daisy.
She gave off the vibe of a nation’s first love.
It was Zhong Ting on Dr. Gu’s phone screen.
“You got the wrong person.” Dr. Gu concluded and locked both phones’ screens.
He returned Mu Anan’s phone to her.
Even so, Mu Anan did not look relaxed.
“Why do you look more solemn after concluding that it is not Zhong Ting?” Dr. Gu asked.
Mu Anan sighed and shook her head, “1 don’t know why. 1 feel uneasy.”
She clutched her heart, which was beating fast.
Mu Anan turned around and sat on the steps again.
Dr. Gu walked forward and sat beside Mu Anan.
He took a box of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket and handed them to Mu Anan.
Mu Anan shook her head, her mouth a little dry, “I don’t feel like smoking.”
Dr. Gu put the cigarette aside.
The two of them were silent for a while.
After about a minute, Dr. Gu suddenly said, “Don’t you think it would be more direct to confess to Seventh Master now?”
Hearing Dr. Gu’s suggestion, Mu Anan rolled her eyes at him, “You might as well ask me to tell Seventh Master that it was me that night and not Zhong Ting?”
“I feel that this will work.”
“I’ll clarify that Dr. Gu gave me this suggestion.”
“Then forget it.”
Dr. Gu instantly cowered.
Anyone with eyes in Yuyuan Estate could clearly see how much Seventh Master doted on Mu Anan all those years.
He would be the first to die if Seventh Master knew it was his idea!
Mu Anan glanced at Dr. Gu and chuckled, “It’s not easy to confess.”
No.
It was easy to confess.
However, it was not easy to bear the consequences of confessing.
Mu Anan could bear any consequences other than the risk of being sent away by Seventh Master.
She was terrified.
She didn’t dare to do so at all.
Mu Anan didn’t say anything else. She grabbed the cigarette and started smoking in frustration.
While taking the cigarette, her phone slipped out of her pocket and fell lightly on the steps.
At the same time, her phone screen lit up, constantly reminding her that messages were coming in.
Gu Shuqing glanced and asked, “Is that the phone of your identity as Zong Qi?”
“Yes.”
“Who sent these messages? Aren’t you going to reply?”
Jiang Qin had been in a bad mood since Zong Qi left her in the wilderness that night.
Mu Anan picked up the phone.
Jiang Qin had sent dozens of messages.
Mu Anan skimmed through and found the content interesting.
Jiang Qin’s messages started with a condescending tone, telling Zong Qi that Goddess Jiang Qin was very angry about what happened that night.
However, if Zong Qi could compensate and apologize in time, Goddess Jiang Qin would forgive him.
After sending multiple messages condescendingly and not receiving any reply from Zong Qi, Jiang Qin’s tone changed.
It turned into condemnation.
She condemned Zong Qi for being ungentlemanly, for his poor family background and upbringing.
In the end, her words became sharper and even became a warning, expressing that she would remember that matter!
Mu Anan looked at it and clicked her tongue. She threw her phone aside, not intending to reply.
Dr. Gu asked, “Aren’t you afraid of falling out with Jiang Qin if you don’t reply?”
Mu Anan shrugged, “If 1 were to reply, there would be no follow-up between me and Jiang Qin.”
Dr. Gu did not understand.
Mu Anan said, “The eldest young lady prefers those who ignore her and do not care about her.”
Mu Anan finished smoking as she finished speaking.
She couldn’t be bothered to say anything more. She took her phone and went upstairs.
The following day.
Mu Anan’s class was in the later half of the night. She returned to the Medical University during the day to fill out the internship transfer report.
The shift changed at 8 p.m., and Mu Anan arrived at 7:30 p.m.
Jiang Qin and Chen Hua were on duty the previous shift.
When Mu Anan opened the office door, she saw Jiang Qin sitting beside Chen Hua, talking about something.
Jiang Qin’s expression immediately turned stern when she saw Mu Anan walk in.
When leaving the office, she deliberately glared at Mu Anan with an unfriendly expression.
Mu Anan was calm.
The eldest young lady should be arrogant when she still could. She would not be able to cry even if she wanted to in the future.
Mu Anan returned to her seat calmly. When she met Chen Hua’s gaze, she smiled, “1 haven’t seen you for a few days. Your face has gotten smaller.”
Chen Hua paused, “All?”
“I said you lost weight.”
It was quite obvious that she lost weight.
Even her side profile had slimmed down.
Mu Anan said, “You will become a beauty if you continue slimming down.”
Chen Hua subconsciously touched her face. When she looked up at Mu Anan again, she still looked a little embarrassed.
When she saw Mu Anan enter earlier, Chen Hua thought she would definitely ask about the money she had borrowed in the past two days.
She did not know what to say.
However, after Chen Hua was nervous for a long time, Mu Anan only chatted for a while. Then, she sat down and looked at the information without saying anything else.
It was as if the matter of borrowing money did not exist.
That made Chen Hua more nervous, and she peeked at Mu Anan several times.
Mu Anan knew that Chen Hua was uncomfortable.
She felt that since she had borrowed the money, it was up to her whether she wanted to say it. There was nothing wrong with it.
‘Knock knock knock’
The office door was knocked.
Then, Dr. Chen opened the door and looked around. Finally, his gaze fell on Mu Anan, “Anan, come out for a while.”
Mu Anan stood up and walked out of the office.
Dr. Chen stood at the door with a serious expression, “There’s something 1 need to discuss with you..”
