Chapter 282: Seventh Master Returning Early
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In Jianglan City, at 3 a.m. sharp.
Mu Anan, who was sleeping on the bed, suddenly screamed and sat up abruptly.
She was sweating profusely, her face was filled with fear, and her entire body was trembling.
She had a dream.
In her dream, she was sold to the Jiang Capital, and the contract of sale was posted online. Then, all kinds of mocking faces came to her, mocking and humiliating her.
The scene changed again.
Seventh Master held the contract of sale and looked at her with disappointment. Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
No matter how Mu Anan chased after him, shouted, and begged him, that man didn’t even look back. He walked forward and disappeared into the darkness.
Those people’s mockery was not scary. What was scary was the scene of Zong Zhengyu leaving without looking back.
Mu Anan hugged herself as she trembled in fear.
Mu Anan maintained the posture of hugging her knees on the bed throughout until the morning sun shone in through the French windows on the carpet and then Mu Anan.
Only then did it warm up her stiff body that had been in the same posture for too long.
But Mu Anan remained indifferent.
Until her phone rang.
Mu Anan did not respond on the first ring.
Mu Anan’s eyelashes fluttered on the second ring. She raised her hand and reached for the phone on the bedside table.
Chen Hua called.
Mu Anan stared at it briefly before picking up, “Hello?”
Her voice was very hoarse.
Chen Hua was silent for a few seconds before she said, “Anan.”
“Yes.”
Chen Hua stopped talking, and Mu Anan didn’t respond either.
The two of them fell silent.
After about a minute, Chen Hua’s soft voice was heard, “Anan, I’m sorry.”
Mu Anan remained silent.
Chen Hua said, “Anan, I’m sorry. Too many things have happened to me, and I was full of negative energy. That’s why I said those things that I shouldn’t have to you.”
“It’s alright.” Mu Anan replied, “I’m also reflecting on my problems.”
“Anan, can we have dinner together tonight?”
When Chen Hua said that, Mu Anan could hear Chen Hua taking a deep breath, “I want to formally apologize to you and tell you about what happened recently.”
“Sure.”
“Shall we go to Jiang Capital?”
Mu Anan was expressionless when she heard Chen Hua’s words. She only asked, “Why did you decide on that place?”
Chen Hua said, “My dad’s company gave him a coupon for that hotel restaurant. Their ribs and roast chicken are very famous. These two are your favorite dishes.”
“What time?” Mu Anan asked.
“6 p.m. then.” Chen Hua said.
Mu Anan acknowledged before hanging up.
There was a message on WeChat that was sent at about the same time as Chen Hua’s call.
Dr. Chen: Anan, don’t come to the hospital today. Stay at home and rest.
After sending it, Chen Hua sent two more messages.
Chen Hua: Anan, don’t come today.
It was the same message as Dr. Chen’s, but Chen Hua sent a picture.
The picture was taken at the entrance of the mental hospital. Many men had come and were staring at it sneakily.
It was obvious they did not have any good intentions.
Chen Hua sent another video. A man stopped a nurse and asked if Mu Anan was there.
Chen Hua: The post online is getting more popular. It can’t be suppressed at all. These people have already come looking for you. Don’t come.
Mu Anan looked at the messages in silence. Then, she browsed through the Internet and found a post about people forming a team to go to the mental hospital to find the little princess.
The scene in the mental hospital was obviously caused by those people.
Mu Anan told Dr. Gu not to care about that and even to add fuel to the fire. That matter escalated quickly.
The reputation of the little princess of Yuyuan Estate had already been trampled into the mud.
Mu Anan couldn’t help but find it ironic.
It was so easy and simple to destroy a young lady’s reputation.
No one cared about the truth, only the gossip they wanted to see.
Mu Anan closed the messages and replied to Dr. Chen and Chen Hua. She then got out of bed to wash up.
At 5:30 p.m. at the Zong family in Liuli City.
After bidding farewell to the Old A^aster, Seventh Master left the Zong family.
Countless in the family watched as he got into the car and left.
Luo Sen asked respectfully, “Seventh Master, should I inform Yuyuan Estate you’re returning early?”
The other meaning of that sentence was to ask Zong Zhengyu if he should tell Mu Anan.
After all, he had said three days later.
Zong Zhengyu waved his hand, planning to give the girl a surprise.
Mu Anan was still at Yuyuan Estate at 5:30 p.m. She had arranged to have dinner with Chen Hua at 6 p.m.
But she sent a message to Jiang Qin.
Zong Qi: Goddess, are you going to Jiang Capital today?
Zong Qi: I’ve already arranged a room for the little princess. Room 803. I’ve also booked Room 804. Do you want to go and take a look?”
Jiang Qin: Let’s go and take a look.
Jiang Qin: I also heard there’s a video set-up service in the Jiang Capital. You can set up a video in the room. The Jiang Capital really has everything.
Zong Qi: I’ve already gotten someone to do the video set-up in Room 803.
After replying to that message, Mu Anan looked up at Dr. Gu and said, “Get someone to set up a video in Room 804.”
Dr. Gu nodded and gave the order.
Mu Anan didn’t say much and walked straight to the gate of the Yuyuan Estate.
Dr. Gu could not help but follow her, “Miss Anan…”
Mu Anan opened the car door and turned around to say, “I’m fine. Besides, Number One is protecting me in the dark. Don’t worry.”
Mu Anan got into the car and drove away.
When she arrived at the Jiang Capital, she saw Chen Hua standing at the door nervously.
Mu Anan could tell that Chen Hua had specially dressed up for that meal and was wearing a long dress.
From that point of view, Chen Hua had indeed lost a lot of weight.
Mu Anan did not get out of the car immediately. Instead, she sat in the car and stared in Chen Hua’s direction for a long time. Then, she opened the door and got out of the car, walking toward Chen Hua.
Because of their previous argument, Chen Hua looked at Mu Anan with an awkward expression.
Her smile was a little stiff, “Anan, you…you’ve arrived.”
Mu Anan nodded.
Chen Hua said, “Then, then let’s go in.”
Mu Anan nodded and followed Chen Hua in.
Chen Hua said, “Something happened at my dad’s workplace previously. It’s been resolved now. So they gave him a coupon…actually, it’s just a voucher. 1 saw they had ribs and roasted chicken. You like them the most.”
Chen Hua couldn’t help but smile at Mu Anan.
Mu Anan looked at her eyes. There was nothing else in them except the cautious display of goodwill due to the quarrel.
Mu Anan smiled and said nothing.
When she turned around, she saw Jiang Qin walking in with her head lowered and heading straight for the elevator.
The corners of Mu Anan’s lips curled up.
The fish had taken the bait..
