Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Faced with Chen Hua’s counter-questioning, Mu Anan remained silent.
She was tormented.
All kinds of evidence confirmed Chen Hua’s betrayal, but Chen Hua’s anxious cries and explanations weighed her down.
Mu Anan’s mind was in a mess.
She turned her head away from Chen Hua and tried her best to remain calm in her confrontation, “What about the special contract and this room?”
Chen Hua wiped her tears away, “My mom told me!”
Mu Anan remained silent.
Chen Hua continued to explain, “Last night, after asking my dad for the coupon, my mom came to my room and said many things, including how you lent me money without asking. My mom was very emotional about our relationship. She even said that Jiang Capital has a special contract that can be signed with your best friend. They will also give us room service for one night, and I can chat with you in the decorated room.”
“I also want to tell you about what happened recently.”
“How did your mom know about this?” Mu Anan stared at Chen Hua, “Chen Hua, even if you have to find a reason, you don’t have to make it sound so far-fetched.”
“I’m not looking for a reason!” Chen Hua retorted agitatedly.
Mu Anan didn’t say anything. She took her phone from her pocket, clicked on the video, and then threw the phone to Chen Hua.
“Start from that video and scroll down.” Mu Anan reminded her.
Chen Hua held the phone agitatedly. Even her hands were trembling.
She clicked on the first video. It was the words she said while leaning against the railing on the rooftop.
After watching it, Chen Hua’s eyes widened in shock, and she looked up at Mu Anan.
Mu Anan said, “Continue. There’s more.”
Chen Hua’s hands were trembling as she scrolled to the second video.
The second video was the testimony of Zhang Xiao and the three nurses from the mental hospital’s Depression Department. They all said that the mastermind was Chen Hua.
Upon seeing that, Chen Hua blurted out, “They’re lying!”
“There’s a third one.” Mu Anan said.
The third was an audio recording of what Jiang Qin had said to Zong Qi.
After editing, only the keywords were left.
Jiang Qin said, “How could it be me? I’m not that bored! That little princess was also very stupid. She didn’t even know that she had been betrayed by her best friend!”
Zong Qi asked, “Betrayed by her best friend?”
Jiang Qin said, “The little princess has a fat best friend. She’s the one we b.u.mped into the other day when we were racing. She’s really ugly and likes a boy. In the end, that boy likes the little princess and has confessed to her many times in public. Her best friend was jealous and did such a thing.”
When she heard Jiang Qin’s words, Chen Hua kept shaking her head, “It wasn’t me. I didn’t. It wasn’t me. She framed me!”
In the end, Chen Hua couldn’t stand it anymore. Her emotions overwhelmed her, and she threw the phone in her hand.
She looked at Mu Anan, “I didn’t betray you!”
Mu Anan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her emotions were in a mess, but she could still control them.
Compared to Chen Hua, who had already broken down, Mu Anan could still calmly continue to confront that matter.
“When the evidence was placed before me, I firmly believed you.” Mu Anan said, “But do you know you’ve disappointed me today? Do you know how I felt when I saw you calling for the special contract?”
“I didn’t know there were so many secrets behind this special contract!” Chen Hua stared at Mu Anan and said seriously, “Can you believe me? I really don’t know!”
Mu Anan was silent.
Chen Hua kept wiping away the tears on her face. She was in a dazed state. She was very shocked, but more importantly, she was anxious about being misunderstood.
“After 1 found out about those posts, I defended you over and over again. I really went to the hospital to look for you because I was afraid that you would get hurt because of those posts. However, when I arrived at the hospital, I saw Huo Xian protecting you.”
Chen Hua’s voice was very soft. She lowered her head, “I’m really jealous of you. Ever since I learned that you’re the little princess of Yuyuan Estate and as beautiful as a fairy, I’ve been jealous of you.”
Then, Chen Hua, who was originally anxious and intense, slowly calmed down.
She looked up at Mu Anan and continued, “But I’ve told you about that kind of jealousy before. It’s just jealousy and nothing else. I admit that when I saw Huo Xian getting close to you and confessing to you, I was crazily jealous.”
“Even when 1 quarreled with you that day, I had a lot of pent-up emotions.”
“I envy you. You’re pampered by such a n.o.ble man. You can be so beautiful, confident, and proud. You can also make Huo Xian call your name when he’s drunk.”
“As for me, 1 have nothing.”
“Look at the hairpin on your head. It’s so beautiful and glowing.” Chen Hua pointed at the hair clip on Mu Anan’s head, “Even your hair clip is more n.o.ble than others. How can I not be jealous?!”
Mu Anan reached out and touched it.
Zong Zhengyu had given it to her on the hot air balloon in Liuli City.
At first, Mu Anan was reluctant to wear it, but Seventh Master said that she should wear it properly and not hide it since it was given to her.
Therefore, she wore it almost every day.
“So, you betrayed me because of that jealousy and wanted to pull me into the abyss and destroy me like those posts online?”
“I didn’t!” Chen Hua shouted firmly, “I admit I’m jealous and envious of you. I feel inferior and despicable. I’ve also secretly fantasized that one day, you’ll be abandoned by Seventh Master, and you’ll have nothing but me. By then, I can take you in and take care of you.”
That was the first time Mu Anan heard Chen Hua say such a thing.
She didn’t say anything because she really didn’t know how to respond.
Chen Hua continued, “But these are my thoughts. I admit that 1 have a strong sense of inferiority and jealousy. I’m not kind enough, so 1 have those dark thoughts.”
“But Mu Anan, I’m not bad. I’m not a bad person. It’s one thing to have dark thoughts, but I won’t really do anything to hurt you. I’m not an inhumane beast. How could I do that?”
In the end, Chen Hua squatted on the ground and cried, “What do I have to do for you to believe me?”
At that moment, Chen Hua was very helpless.
She had already said what she needed to say. She did not know how to explain herself.
Chen Hua’s helplessness was a torment and struggle for Mu Anan.
Her trust in Chen Hua had collapsed.
However, Mu Anan could not tell if Chen Hua’s explanation and her anxiety and helplessness were true or false.
Her hands gripped the table beside her tightly.
Mu Anan was inclined to believe Chen Hua emotionally.
She wanted to believe it.
No one was willing to accept such a devastating betrayal from their best friend.
However, logically speaking, there were too many coincidences. There was too much evidence. There was no way to be sure that everything was just a coincidence from Chen Hua’s emotional explanation.
Or rather, Chen Hua had fallen into a trap.
Mu Anan lowered her head and took a deep breath. Finally, she decided, “I’ll get someone to investigate further! Chen Hua, if it’s really you, I hope you’ll tell
the truth.”
Chen Hua, who had her head lowered, looked up at Mu Anan, “I admit that I’m jealous of you, but I’ve never done anything to hurt you!”
“Ring!”
As soon as Chen Hua finished speaking, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly broke out in the originally quiet Jiang Capital.
That sound was ear-piercing and sharp and resounded throughout the Jiang Capital. Then, a series of screams and shouts erupted at that moment!
Mu Anan was confused. That sound was very similar to…
