Chapter 544: Poor Me
It was not until the Old Lady left when Zhao Anan finally came out of the bedroom on the second floor and saw the empty living room, feeling upset.
The endless pain soon swallowed Zhao Anan, making her lose the strength to even stand on her feet. With hands on the wall, she slipped down on the floor, gradually.
From today on, she was not going to have anything to do with Mu Qing in her life ever again.
She was going to lose the man who spoiled her to the marrow.
Zhao Anan somehow felt a bit happy even when in pain.
At least right now when Mu Qing parted with her, he would not need to suffer from the pain of losing a wife. When she eventually died, Mu Qing would not get too upset.
His life would be steady and happy.
That was enough for her!
She would finally be able to face her disease without any strings attached.
When the Old Lady of the Zhao Family returned from the Mu Family, it was already dark. Apparently, she had had a long conversation with Mu Wensheng, and looked a bit cold. The conversation must have been stressful.
Zhao Anan felt both guilty and upset.
She had made her grandmother worry about her at this age and run errands for her sake. She should have lived a happy life at the Zhao Family, but today she must have been humiliated.
Zhao Anan walked ahead and took the Old Lady by the arms softly and showed a small smile on her face. She said in a nasal tone, “Hey, Grandmother!”
The Old Lady of the Zhao Family allowed her to take her hand as she walked inside and told her at the same time, “The Mu Family have been informed. You and Mu Qing are no longer going to meet each other. Each of you will live your own life and marry whomever you like. Mu Wensheng has already picked several candidates for him and maybe tomorrow he is going to start going on blind dates. You will stay at home and are not allowed to go anywhere!”
Zhao Anan felt extremely sad. She was trying hard to stop the tears from trickling down.
She was trying hard not to give up at this moment.
Why was she crying when he was going to go on blind dates? She should be happy for him.
But she just could not control her emotions.
She felt as if her heart had been taken out. She even cut her own lips when she was eating beefstake for dinner, just because she used the folk to cut the beefstake by accident.
When Zhao Zhao returned from work and saw her daughter distracted, she could not help but turn to her mother in a silent inquiry.
Her mother returned her look to a.s.sure her that she had the situation under control.
Zhao Zhao was a.s.sured, and refused to remind her own daughter that she had mistaken the fork for a knife. It was ok to feel a little pain
She should learn from what she had done.
After the dinner was finished, the Old Lady asked Zhao Zhao to come to her room and recounted the whole incident to her. After Zhao Zhao heard the story, she smiled and spoke highly of Shangguan Ning who was willing to help her good friend.
The mother and the daughter had decided to give Shangguan Ning a hand and sell out their child for her own benefit.
The following day Zhao Anan got up, and found that no one was around. So she asked her servants. “Aunt Qian, where is my mother and my grandmother? Why are they not here?”
Aunt Qian said with a smile, “Oh, they are both out at the jewelry store. They said that they are going to get some jewelry to give Doctor Mu’s friend as a greeting present!”
Aunt Qian was putting it in a discreet way but Zhao Anan understood what she was talking about.
So grandmother and mother were out to pick jewellery for the girl who was on a blind date with Mu Qing.
Zhao Anan got so furious that she almost pa.s.sed out.
Were they even bothered about her feelings?
She did owe Mu Qing a lot, but they did not have to pay it back in this way. This was so disgusting.
What on earth were her grandmother and mother doing?
They were getting expensive jewelry just to please Mu Qing’s new girl and wish that Mu Qing could marry the girl as soon as possible.
What on earth was going on? Why were they so anxious to help Mu Qing with the blind date? Were they part of her family or his?
After hearing what Aunt Qian said, Zhao Anan returned to her bed room without breakfast, but half an hour later, she got so hungry that her stomach grumbled.
Only now did she remember that she had forgotten to eat breakfast because she was so busy getting upset.
She returned to the dining room angrily, sat down, took a fierce bite of the bread as if it were her enemy.
Aunt Qian chuckled on the sly seeing what she was doing. Then she called the Old Lady of the Zhao Family to report the situation at home.
After Zhao Anan finished eating, she started to drink the milk.
So the masters were not at home and she could be the king! She could go out to have fun now.
Zhao Anan was never the type that could be restrained at home for long. She was attracted by the temptation of the outside world.
She stuffed some food into her mouth. Without changing her clothes, she put on the sneakers and took off.
As she ran out of the gate, she laughed wildly that she had managed to escape the cage but suddenly realized that she had no money with her.
She had a wallet but it was empty with not a single cent inside, because her mother had taken away her pocket money to stop her from running away.
But it was okay. She always had a way to get money. It was great when no bodyguards were with her.
She took a taxi and rushed directly to Landscape Compound.
When she reached there, Shangguan Ning was already waiting for her outside with the stroller, followed by the nanny, Lee Duo, Knife Lee, looking like the lady from a n.o.ble family.
Seeing Zhao Anan peer out from the taxi, Shangguan Ning glared at her and paid her fares.
Zhao Anan had called Shangguan Ning when she was in the car and asked her to do so.
As Zhao Anan got off the taxi, she threw herself at Shangguan Ning and kissed her on the cheek. “My beauty is the best. You have saved me.”
Shangguan Ning wiped off the saliva from her face and sized up. She said, “What made grandmother release you? Or did you escape again?”
Zhao Anan brushed off her unkempt short hair, and took Jing Rui out of the stroller instead of answering Shangguan Ning’s question.
