Chapter 326:1 Am Guilty
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mu Anan clenched her fists and said firmly, “I want to take back all the glory that belongs to my mother and grandfather with my own hands!”
That was the hard work of her grandfather and mother.
The medicine they researched and the charity they did were all snatched away by the Jiang family. Guo Yuehua became a famous and noble philanthropist in the circle.
The Jiang family had shamelessly trampled on their mother and grandfather’s hard work and snatched away the glory that belonged to them.
How could Mu Anan accept this?
Mu Anan stared at Zong Zhengyu stubbornly, “Seventh Master, can you promise me?””
Zong Zhengyu didn’t answer, he just looked at this girl silently.
Dr. Gu had said that the girl had a tough personality. When she was stubborn, even ten bulls would not be able to pull her back.
She would not listen to anyone’s advice.
But in fact, during the eight years in Yuyuan Estate, Mu Anan had very few requests from Zong Zhengyu. Every time, Seventh Master would agree.
He wanted to pamper this girl.
Therefore, when she pitifully made a request, he could not reject her at all.
However, Zong Zhengyu couldn’t tolerate Mu Anan’s ruthlessness in hurting herself to mess with Jiang Qin.
He was very angry after he found out.
However, when he saw the girl act like this, he was not angry at all. All that was left was pity.
It was because his heart ached for her that he was reluctant to grant Mu Anan the request.
If she dealt with Jiang Qin in such a self-destructive way, once he really agreed to let her deal with the Jiang family, she might do something even more violent.
“Seventh Master, can you promise me?”
Mu Anan asked again.
She knew that Seventh Master’s silence meant that he did not agree.
She clutched the blanket tightly and felt uncomfortable. She said, “Only by personally dealing with the Jiang family and taking back everything that belonged to my mom and grandpa can I…”
The rest of the sentence was too difficult to say.
Zong Zhengyu’s expression immediately darkened, “Girl!”
Mu Anan bit her lower lip and used the pain to give herself strength to finish her sentence.” Only then can I have the face to go to my mom and grandpa’s grave to see them.”
The words she said in a hoarse voice made Zong Zhengyu’s heart ache.
He stood up abruptly, wanting to hug the trembling girl in his arms.
But…
“Seventh Master, can you not hug me now?” Mu Anan refused.
Zong Zhengyu maintained his posture of standing at the side.
Mu Anan lowered her head, “When you hug me, I feel weak. 1 want to hide by your side and be a real little princess.”
“But I’m guilty.”
“You are not guilty of anything.” Zong Zhengyu suppressed his voice and said.
Mu Anan shook her head vigorously, “I’m guilty.”
“On the day Mom and Grandpa died, they were supposed to be in the laboratory, not at home. 1 was willful and insisted on celebrating my birthday, so they came back.”
If not for the birthday celebration, nothing would happened.
“Not only that, it’s been eight years. I’ve seen the Jiang family become better and better, but my ability has never been able to keep up. I can’t fight for the glory that belonged to my mother and grandfather and let them be forgotten by this city bit by bit.”
There was more that Mu Anan was too timid to say.
It was because she was too greedy for the comfort of being by Seventh Master’s side and her feelings for him.
She even had the thought that she didn’t want to take revenge, but to be an obedient little princess by the side of Seventh Master.
These were all sins.
They were all shackles on Mu Anan.
As long as she didn’t take revenge, she will not be free.
The happier she was, the pain brought by these shackles would be stronger.
Mu Anan wiped the tears off her face forcefully, “Seventh Master, can you give me a chance to go to my mother and grandfather’s graves and take a good look at them?”
Zong Zhengyu could not resist Mu Anan’s words.
He was completely soft-hearted.
After the Mu family’s tragedy, Jiang Zhen held a grand funeral for Mu Qing and Elder Mu in order to maintain his dignity.
But all these years, Mu Anan had never been to their graves.
Every Qingming Festival, Sacrificial Day.
Mu Anan could always be busy.
Sometimes she was busy with school matters, sometimes she went hiking to participate in the spring camp, and so on. She was definitely not at home.
Zong Zhengyu had thought that the girl didn’t like sadness and had her own way.
However, Mu Anan’s confession today made Seventh Master completely aware of it.
It wasn’t that she didn’t like sadness, not in anyway.
She just felt guilty.
She was so guilty that she didn’t even have the right to see her mother and grandfather.
“Seventh Master, can I?” Mu Anan asked again.
Zong Zhengyu reached out and caressed her face, “Sure.”
Such a girl.
He couldn’t say anything to refuse.
His heart ached too much.
Mu Anan laughed out loud after hearing Zong Zhengyu’s affirmation.
She smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She said seriously, “Don’t worry, Seventh Master. I’ll certainly handle all of them.”
1 will get myself fresh and stand before you again!
Zong Zhengyu didn’t say much and patted Mu Anan’s head, “Have a good rest.”
With that, he left Mu Anan’s room and closed the door.
Although he wanted to hold the girl in his arms, comfort her, and dote on her.
But he knew that the girl needed someone now.
Zong Zhengyu understood Mu Anan.
Right now, she needed to be alone.
She needed to calm down.
She needed to adjust her emotions.
However, the pain and discomfort in his heart could not be dissipated.
Mu Anan reached out and opened the drawer of the bedside table. She took out a photo frame that was facing down.
The photo in the frame was damaged.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, on the green lawn, there was a little girl who had two pigtails. Because of her fair skin and baby fat on her face, she smiled like a bun.
She was gently embraced by the woman beside her.
The woman’s long hair was quietly draped over her shoulders. She was wearing an elegant white dress and high heels even on the lawn.
She had big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a row of teeth when she smiled.
She had a beautiful face and a dignified and elegant temperament, but her gaze when she looked at the camera was very gentle.
In the photo, there was a person standing on the left side of the woman, but it was torn apart, leaving only an arm in a white shirt on the woman’s shoulder.
On the right side of the woman stood a white-haired old man. The old man wore glasses and looked energetic. He stood straight and looked strong.
Mu Anan looked at it quietly and caressed it gently.
This photo was taken on her loth birthday when her family went on an outing.
At that day, Mu Anan was especially happy and the weather was good.
Her mother, grandfather, and father all accompanied her, flying kites, riding bicycles, and bouncing balls.
Mu Anan remembered that she was being chased by a husky.
She did not know what was wrong with the husky. There were many children in the park teasing it, and it only chased after Mu Anan with its tongue out just because she made a funny face at it.
Mu Anan was badly scared.
Her grandfather and mother didn’t help her. Instead, they still smiled as they watched the husky pounce on her, licking her face with its long tongue.
Mu Anan was furious at the time.
She was unhappy with her grandfather and said that he was bad.
Mu Anan caressed the photo and suddenly burst into laughter when she thought of the scene.
As she laughed, her tears could not stop falling..
