Guo Yuehua said, “Let me tell you, I saw through it a few years ago. Just Mu Qing, and the old fogey, could start a company by doing some research and experiments?”
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
“On the surface, Mu Qing was high and mighty. Who knew how many tricks she had played behind her back and how many men she had been with?”
“Didn’t you say that when Mu Qing just married you…I wonder if Mu Anan is your daughter.”
Guo Yuehua turned on her taunting mode, and Jiang Zhen could only wipe away his cold sweat.
Actually, this wasn’t the first time Guo Yuehua had said something like this.
However, Mu Qing also explained.
Jiang Zhen believed her.
However, Jiang Zhen didn’t dare to say anything.
Every time this matter was mentioned, Guo Yuehua would lose her temper.
She would ask him if he still couldn’t forget Mu Qing, or if he regretted it, and so on. Therefore, Jiang Zhen could only remain silent and let Guo Yuehua mock Mu Qing again and again.
In the car with Seventh Master and Mu Anan.
Mu Anan sat on Seventh Master’s lap and was still discussing whether the girl was pretentious!
Mu Anan cupped Seventh Master’s face with both hands and looked him in the eye, “Seventh Master, tell me, isn’t it a girl’s right to be pretentious? Beautiful girls are pretentious, but people love them, right?”
“Does that mean that she’s not qualified if she’s not pretty?” Zong Zhengyu raised his eyebrows.
Mu Anan paused, “If someone loves you, you have the right to be pretentious.” Then, she added, “I have Seventh Master’s love. It’s only right for me to be pretentious.”
She had a pride and smug look on her face, which immediately made the man laugh.
He reached out and scratched her nose.
“Then, if no one loves you, you don’t have the right to be pretentious, huh?” Seventh Master had only said this casually, but Mu Anan suddenly thought of Chen Hua.
Chen Hua often told Mu Anan that she had no right to be willful or lose her temper because no one loved her or indulged her.
Mu Anan realized that all adults suffered.
In the past, it was his mother and grandfather, and later, it was her Seventh Master.
Therefore, she couldn’t empathize with Chen Hua’s T don’t have anyone to dote on, so I don’t dare to be willful.’
Mu Anan simply thought that if no one cared, she would care for herself.
Whether it was before or even yesterday, Mu Anan had always thought this way.
However, at that moment, she suddenly understood the sadness that Chen Hua felt every time she said with tears in her eyes, “But I don’t have anyone to love me.”
Loving yourself remained different from someone loving you.
Loving yourself, needing to be firm, which was comforting.
People enhanced themselves and respected themselves.
How could people who were suffering understand how hard they had to work to love themselves and how strong they had to be to make it happen.
Chen Hua was not strong enough, so she could only feel sad and alone.
Mu Anan suddenly reached out and hugged Zong Zhengyu.
Zong Zhengyu was originally joking with the servant girl, but she suddenly became sad, which surprised him.
He reached out and stroked Mu Anan’s back, “What’s wrong?”
Mu Anan shook her head, “Nothing. I just suddenly feel very lucky.”
“You will always be lucky.” Zong Zhengyu reached out and rubbed Mu Anan’s head.
Mu Anan nodded, “I know.”
Because of you, you are my luck.
You are all my courage to face the bad things in this world.
It’s the reason why I love this world.
“Seventh Master, I’m tired. I want to sleep.” Mu Anan said in a m.u.f.fled voice.
“Go ahead.” Seventh Master said.
Seventh Master told Mu Anan to change her position and lie horizontally in his arms so that Mu Anan would be able to put her injured leg better.
Mu Anan tilted her head and buried her face in Seventh Master’s arms.
Perhaps it was because she didn’t sleep well yesterday.
Or perhaps, Seventh Master had added some medicine to the porridge that she had eaten today, so Mu Anan fell asleep in his arms after a while.
When she woke up again, he was already at the foot of Qiyun Mountain.
They could drive up the mountain, but Seventh Master only sent them to this place.
Mu Anan rubbed her eyes. Perhaps it was because she had just woken up, so she was particularly clingy to this man and was reluctant to part with him.
“Relax for the next two days.”
As Zong Zhengyu spoke, he placed Mu Anan, who was lying on his lap, on a seat at the side.
Mu Anan wanted to stick to him.
However, her rationality reminded her that Xiao Jiu was still behind.
Every minute she stuck to Seventh Master would increase the danger of Seventh Master discovering Xiao Jiu.
Mu Anan merely grabbed Seventh Master’s hand and said, “Then you have to text me often and video call me. I don’t have to be the one texting you every time, okay?”
“Alright.”
“You promised me.”
“I promise you.”
Mu Anan smiled in satisfaction.
Seventh Master reached out to tidy up her messy bangs, “Remember, these two days are for you to relax. Don’t worry about anything and don’t think about anything. Enjoy with your friends.”
Mu Anan nodded.
For some reason, she felt a little uneasy when she heard Seventh Master’s words.
She couldn’t help but think of how Seventh Master had suddenly told her about Xiao Jiu in the car.
She always felt that…
Could it be that Seventh Master already knew that her new friend was Xiao Jiu?
But it didn’t seem like it.
With Seventh Master’s personality, if he found out, he would immediately take Xiao Jiu back without any words.
Was he just suspicious?
Mu Anan was confused and uneasy.
However, she still smiled and said, “Seventh Master, you should go back quickly. I heard you answer a few work calls in a daze.”
As Mu Anan spoke, Seventh Master’s phone rang.
It was still a work call.
Seventh Master didn’t say much. He just pinched Mu Anan’s ear and got out of the car.
Luo Sen got out of the car and walked to the car behind with Seventh Master.
A car followed behind, and the driver swapped seats with Luo Sen.
Just as Luo Sen opened the car door for Seventh Master, Jiang Zhen got out of the car and walked over to Seventh Master. He greeted him fawningly, “Seventh Master.”
Seventh Master answered the call without even looking at him.
Jiang Zhen might not have eyesight or something. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief and said, “Seventh Master, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Anan for the next few days. I promise I won’t let her, let…”
Before Jiang Zhen could finish his sentence, Seventh Master got into the car. During this time, he didn’t even look at Jiang Zhen, let alone listen to him talk. Luo Sen asked Jiang Zhen to leave expressionlessly, then got into the car and drove away.
Jiang Zhen stood there alone, eating a mouthful of dirt.
Mu Anan sat in the car and watched this scene with a calm expression.
Although she knew that with Jiang Zhen’s personality, it was normal for him to curry favor with Seventh Master to build a relationship with him, she still felt disgusted.
She decided to stay out of sight.
However, just as she looked away, the car door on the other side opened. With the sound of the car door opening and closing and the slight vibration of the seat, it was obvious that someone had sat in.
Mu Anan turned around abruptly and was surprised to see the person who had just entered.
“Why are you here?” she asked in surprise..
