Mu Anan frowned slightly when she heard Tang Mi’s words.
She was extremely disgusted.
The incident at the masked ball yesterday was caused by Tang AAi.
If Mu Anan were the one who had done such a thing, she would have gone into hiding long ago instead of appearing here arrogantly.
But Tang Mi had her thoughts.
Before Mu Anan could speak, Tang Mi had already walked toward her.
“Anan, I’m relieved to see you safe and sound,” said Tang Mi. “I couldn’t control the situation yesterday at all. I could only ask someone to invite Seventh
Master over.”
Mu Anan listened to Tang Mi’s words with a calm expression on her face.
However, she felt uncomfortable.
She also understood why Tang Mi would appear so thick-skinned in front of her and Seventh Master today. It turned out that she had played her trump card.
While Mu Anan was silent, Tang Mi smiled and said, “Fortunately, Seventh Master was there.”
As she spoke, she took a step forward and reach out to hold Mu Anan’s hand.
Mu Anan instinctively wanted to dodge Tang Mi’s actions.
However, before she could move, Seventh Master grabbed her arm and pulled her behind him.
Seventh Master stood in front of Mu Anan with a cold expression, protecting her out of habit.
His att.i.tude was arrogant and cold. He just said three words, “Don’t touch her.”
It was a warning.
Tang Mi’s hand, which had just been raised in the air, froze.
The situation was awkward.
Even the younger sister Tang subconsciously took a step back after Zong
Zhengyu finished his sentence, pulling away from him.
Tang Mi’s expression froze for a moment before she returned to normal.
She naturally retracted her hand and casually placed it in the pocket of her sweatpants.
She said casually, “I’m sorry. I’m a gadabout sometimes.”
Zong Zhengyu was too lazy to say more.
He didn’t even look at Tang Mi.
It was as if he would feel disgusted looking at her again.
He grabbed Mu Anan’s arm and wanted to take the girl away.
However, Mu Anan pressed down on Zong Zhengyu’s hand.
Seventh Master lowered his eyes and looked at Mu Anan.
Mu Anan smiled at Seventh Master and said to Tang Mi, “I’m fine now. 1 was just thinking that Seventh Master came in time yesterday. It turned out that it was Miss Tang Mi who helped. Thank you very much.”
Anyone could say something decent.
Mu Anan knew it too.
“Yeah, I contacted Seventh Master when I saw that the situation wasn’t right.”
After saying that, she added, “I’m very sorry. When 1 found out it was you, I asked you to go on stage because 1 thought we were familiar and wanted to play together. Who knew that those people…”
She was blaming the people at the masked ball last night.
Mu Anan sneered.
These words were meant for Seventh Master.
Mu Anan finally guessed the purpose of Tang Mi’s visit.
It was to test Seventh Master’s att.i.tude towards her after the masked ball.
Tang Mi offered an invitation. “Since we’re fated to meet, let’s play together. How about it?”
“Sure.”
After Mu Anan’s quick response, Zong Zhengyu frowned and glanced at her.
Mu Anan turned around and met Zong Zhengyu’s eyes, smiling.
It was as if Tang Mi was the person who had helped her yesterday.
Mu Anan took the initiative to say, “Let’s go over there and play with the big hammer. Miss Tang Mi, do you want to play?”
“Sure,” Tang Mi replied with a smile.
She lowered her head to look at her sister and said, “Sister, didn’t you say that you wanted to play with the big hammer? Now we can play with you.”
The little sister was scared by Zong Zhengyu earlier, but now she heard that they could play together, she immediately became excited.
She nodded vigorously. “Happy!”
The little sister glanced at Mu Anan timidly.
Mu Anan returned a friendly smile.
She was hostile toward Tang Mi, but the girl had not done anything wrong. “Then let’s go,” Tang Mi said,” Seventh Master, do you want to come together?” “Seventh Master doesn’t play.” Mu Anan took the lead and grabbed Zong Zhengyu’s arm. “Seventh Master is here to accompany me.”
Mu Anan had to admit that she was showing off a little when she said that.
But she just wanted to.
She just wanted to be selfish and wanted to show off in front of Tang Mi.
She was vain!
Tang Mi glanced at Mu Anan who was hugging Zong Zhengyu’s arm. She didn’t say anything and maintained her smile.
However, when she turned around with her sister, the smile on her face instantly disappeared.
She walked in front, pondering over Zong Zhengyu’s att.i.tude just now.
Seventh Master didn’t seem to believe her at all.
Tang Mi wanted to grab Mu Anan’s hand, but Seventh Master pulled Mu Anan behind him like a protector before she could even touch her.
Did he see through something?
As Tang Mi thought about it, she suddenly remembered the scene in Jianglan City.
At the small c.o.c.ktail party held in Yuyuan Estate of Jianglan City, she had wanted to touch Mu Anan but she was stopped by Seventh Master.
The reason was that Mu Anan did not like people touching her face.
Therefore, everything that happened just now did not mean anything.
When Tang Mi pa.s.sed by the gla.s.s building, she looked at the situation behind her through the gla.s.s.
Mu Anan walked with her hands around Zong Zhengyu’s arm. There was not much expression on her face and she did not look strange.
When Tang Mi first met Mu Anan, she thought that she was a very soft little girl who enjoyed the favor of Seventh Master.
She thought that Mu Anan was innocent and was even a little silly and sweet.
She thought that she was a typical canary.
However, after interacting with Mu Anan, she knew that she had underestimated her.
What canary?
She was a meticulous little fox.
The big hammer was a little far away. Tang Mi and her sister walked in front, while Mu Anan and Zong Zhengyu walked behind.
At first, the four of them were very close to each other. As they turned the corner, their distance widened.
Mu Anan did it on purpose.
After confirming the safe distance, Mu Anan finally said, “Seventh Master, did
Tang Mi send you the message yesterday?”
“Yes,” Zong Zhengyu replied.
Mu Anan’s heart skipped a beat, and then she suddenly wanted to laugh.
She thought that she was already meticulous enough.
But now she admitted defeat against Tang Mi.
When she was messing with her yesterday, not only did she make Liang Pan a scapegoat, but she also arranged a backup plan for herself.
She had already prepared a trump card.
Tang Mi was probably counting her chickens before they hatched. Even if she couldn’t kill Mu Anan at the masked ball, she would at least get Seventh Master’s grat.i.tude by informing him.
The reason why Tang Mi came today was because Seventh Master had not expressed his stance. Therefore, Tang Mi wanted to test Seventh Master’s att.i.tude towards this matter and her.
Mu Anan began to feel uneasy again after she had sorted out the situation.
She looked secretly at Zong Zhengyu.
She was not satisfied with Seventh Master’s att.i.tude towards Tang Mi.
Did he believe Tang Mi’s words and planned to treat her as an ally?
