Chapter 38

Its All Because of Those Eyes

The few photos all showed the same girl hooking up with different men, walking out of hotels

The girl in the photo must be Lin Yue.

There was also information after that about Lin Yue asking Chen Hua for money on several occasions.

Mu Anan immediately connected the dots.

This girl named Lin Yue basically slept around outside and had a messy private life.

She hooked up with Chen Huas younger brother and accidentally got pregnant.

Chen Huas younger brother was scared and did not dare to tell his parents. He could only ask his sister for help.

His sister was weak and worried that her brothers problem would cause his grades to slide, so she quietly accepted Lin Yues extortion.

Chen Hua answered a phone call the other day about her mother being sent to the hospital. Was that also related to this? Mu Anan guessed.

Zong Zhengyu nodded, Lin Yue called their house and Chen Huas mother picked up. She has heart problems to begin with and couldnt take it when she heard about it.

Mu Anan exhaled loudly and put down the iPad.

The matter was very clear now.

She just felt that Chen Hua wasnt very smart as she was always the one who suffered.

So

Zong Zhengyu suddenly opened his mouth with a light smile, Your trust hasnt been fed to the dogs.

I knew that my friends.h.i.+p would not be fed to the dogs. Mu Anan felt a little proud.

As she spoke, her phone rang.

It was Chen Hua.

Zong Zhengyu stood up and left.

When Mu Anan picked up the phone, Zong Zhengyu had already closed on his way out.

h.e.l.lo? Is that Anan? Thank G.o.d you finally picked up.

Whats wrong?

Did something happen to you these past few days? I called you but you didnt pick up. I sent youWeChat messages but you didnt respond. I thought you had vanished into thin air.

No. Its just something at home. Im sorry, your pocket watch

What are you apologizing for? What happened to your family? Arent you an orphan? Also, Ive already received the pocket watch. Why didnt you accept the money? The fund transfer had already expired, and Ive been refunded.

Mu Anan was surprised.

She took the phone away from her ear and checked her WeChat dialogue with Chen Hua. There were two unread messages from Chen Hua.

One was Chen Huas fund transfer.

The other was a text, Anan, Ive received the thing. Thank you. Something serious has happened at home. Its very chaotic. Ill contact you in a few days and tell you about it.

It was obvious that Zong Zhengyu had sent someone to deliver the pocket watch to Chen Hua.

Mu Anans felt very happy in her heart.

Seventh Master could see all the little details about her, and he had arranged everything properly.

Mu Anan picked up her phone again. Its my friend. Something happened here and Ive been staying at his place and have been busy. I didnt get a chance to check my phone.

Chen Hua did not doubt Mu Anans words. Instead, she heaved a sigh of relief. Then you probably dont know about Chen Jiali

Hmm?

Well Anyway, its hard to say. Youll know when you go and look at the school forum. Chen Hua said with a deep sigh. This matter has blown up. My grandfather has also been hospitalized. Grandpa is in the hospital, and so is Mom. I wish I can clone myself.

Do you need my help?

Its fine. My uncles and all will help with our familys matters. However

Chen Huas voice suddenly trailed off, as if she had something difficult to say. She stammered for a long time but did not say anything.

Mu Anan was not a patient person, but she waited for Chen Hua quietly this time.

After about a minute, Chen Huas voice rang out again. Anan, I think Im quite mean and evil.

Why do you say that?

Didnt something happen to Chen Jialis family They are bankrupt, her parents are gone, and she and her brother have no idea where they went. Its very tragic. My grandparents fainted a few times from sadness, but I I didnt shed a single tear. I, I even feel that its retribution for her family.

Chen Huas voice got increasing softer as she spoke.

She probably felt bad and felt that her behavior wasnt right, but there was no need for her to pretend with Mu Anan.

She continued, Since young, Chen Jialis family has always bullied my family. My grandfather is also biased. He often humiliated our family for being useless. Ive been told many times that my brother is incompetent, and my family is incompetent. The last time my dad brought something to their house, he even said that they dont care about our presents

Chen Hua was all choked up at the end of the sentence, indicating her inner struggle.

If it were me, I would also think that they deserved it. Mu Anan said very calmly. I told you before that in my world, there are no good or bad people except for those who are truly evil. There are only people who are good to me and those who treat me badly.

If something happened to someone who treats me badly, I would feel a sense of schadenfreude. Whats wrong with that? Im not a saint.

Chen Hua paused on the other end of the line. She did not expect Mu Anan to say that, but she felt relieved. Anan, thank you.

Chen Hua, where are you? Its already so late and I havent seen you all day. Where have you been?

Mu Anan could hear a middle-aged womans sharp roar on the other end of the line.

Chen Hua said, Anan, I have to go now. By the way, when are you coming back to work?

In a few days.

Well talk when we meet.

Alright.

As soon as she ended the call with Chen Hua, Mu Anan received a 900-yuan transfer from Chen Hua on WeChat.

She smiled and accepted it.

When she put her phone down, she suddenly felt her body start to hurt and she was exhausted. She didnt know if it was because she was relieved that the matter was over.

Mu Anan was too lazy to move and fell asleep leaning against the headboard.

In her semi-consciousness, she heard someone open her bedroom door, but she was too sleepy to care.

Zong Zhengyu stood at her bedside and shook his head helplessly when he saw that she had fallen asleep half sitting with her head drooped.

She was really a kid who could not grow up.

He had to keep an eye on her at all times.

Zong Zhengyu laid Mu Anan flat on her bed and turned her body sideways.

When he pulled down Mu Anans pajama top, he saw her smooth back.

Her skin had always been fair. Children were always afraid of getting tanned and were almost obsessed with fairness.

Unfortunately, her entire back was covered in wounds. The bruises and redness had not subsided. Her back looked terrible.

The more Zong Zhengyu applied medicine on Mu Anan, the darker his face got.

Especially when Mu Anan groaned twice in her sleep because of the pain from her wounds. Zong Zhengyus expression darkened every time it happened, like he was going destroy the world.

After applying medicine on Mu Anans back, Zong Zhengyu left the room.

Luo Sen came forward and reported, Seventh Master, Chen Jialis grandfather has booked an air ticket for her brother to send him overseas. Hes already at the airport for his evening flight.

Capture him, Zong Zhengyu ordered ruthlessly and gave Luo Sen a death glare before he walked away.

Luo Sen immediately shuddered.

It had been many years since he had seen Zong Zhengyu so angry.

Luo Sen suddenly remembered Dr. Gus words.

Could Miss Anan really be Seventh Masters salvation?

Luo Sen turned his head and glanced at Mu Anans room.

However, when he thought about that incident, he felt that Mu Anan was special to Zong Zhengyu all because of her eyes.

If not for those eyes

Nothing would be special. Luo Sen collected his thoughts, reverted to his dedicated a.s.sistant persona to carry out Zong Zhengyus orders.
