Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Mu Anan had just picked up Xiao Jiu when she received news that Xiao Jiu was under too much pressure due to academic problems and was at odds with her family.

At that time, Mu Anans thoughts were simple. With Xiao Jius personality, it was certain that she would run away from home. She could not be persuaded. Instead of letting Xiao Jiu go to another city to worry, it was better to let Xiao Jiu relax by her side for two days and let her think about her future.

That was why Mu Anan had rejected the idea that the Seventh Masters sister was Xiao Jiu when the Zong family called him yesterday and told him that his sister had run away from home because of a marriage alliance.

In the end, it was true.

Xiao Jiu wiped her tears and looked at Mu Anan. She sighed and leaned against the sofa.

She said, My grandfather wanted me to marry into an aristocratic family. I didn t like it in the first place and have always been against it. Ive thought about it. Grandpas health wasnt good during those few days. Ill wait for Grandpas health to stabilize a little before I talk to him properly. But As soon as she said that, Xiao Jius face became warm and angry. My Dad kept forcing me to study. He forced me to give up on games and livestreams. He said that my actions were not presentable and that I was not worthy of that young master from an aristocratic family. He wanted me to go to a university and marry him directly after graduating from universityMe!

What right did he have?

Why should my life be like this?

I also have my dreams. I can study hard but dont make me muddle along. Dont make me give up what I like. Why should my life only be left with marriage alliances and consolidating the business interests of the Zong Zheng family?

My mom and father got married like this. What happened in the end?

From the moment I was born, the two of them seemed to be respectful to each other, but in reality, they were all cold. In front of me and the eighth, they are the same. In front of outsiders, they are a loving couple. When no one is around, they are just two strangers. They dont even quarrel.

Sister An, do you know how scary parents who never fight are? Theyre like my big house. Theyre beautiful, but theyre cold and have no warmth at all. Xiao Jiu couldnt help but cry as it spoke, and it wiped it away forcefully.

She felt so wronged.

Mu Anan sat in the wheelchair. Her heart ached when she saw Xiao Jiu like this. After all, ever since they met, Xiao Jiu had been a spoiled girl. She was lively, innocent, willful, and cute.

But suddenly bringing up such a topic made her heart ache.

I dont want to be a copy of my father. Xiao Jiu spoke out about the stubbornness in her heart.

Dr. Gu glanced at her and said calmly, From the moment you were born into that family, you were destined to become a copy of your parents.

I dont want to! I want to protest.

What do you have to protest? Dr. Gu asked Xiao Jiu in return, Do you think that those people will agree just because Old Master Zong Zheng dotes on you and your uncles dote on you? Xiao Jiu, dont be too naive.

They dote on you because you are the Zong familys Ninth Young Lady. You have enough status to form a marriage alliance, creating greater benefits for the Zong Zheng Clan and consolidating stronger allies. In the Zong Zheng Clan, interests come first!

Xiao Jiu could not accept Dr. Gus words.

Even Mu Anan was surprised.

Such cruel and direct words would come out of the mouth of Dr. Gu, who had always been gentle and good-for-nothing in the Yuyuan Estate.

To be exact, from the moment Mu Anan stepped into this small villa, she had felt that Gu Shuqing was not in a good mood.

Mu Anan recalled that she had heard people talking about Gu Shuqing on Phecda in Liuli City.

In the face of these cruel and direct words, Xiao Jiu stubbornly wiped away her tears and stared at Gu Shuqing. I will not become a replica of my parents. Not! You cant escape fate.

I can change fate! Xiao Jius tone was firm. I know that youre still brooding over what happened ten years ago, but Im not her. I will definitely

Zong Zhengjiu!

Gu Shuqing suddenly raised his voice and stopped Xiao Jiu from continuing. Mu Anan frowned and stared at the change in Dr. Gus expression.

Mu Anan heard about the incident ten years ago again.

The incident that caused Seventh Master to have stress disorder made Gu Shuqing rather die than step into Liuli City and return to the Zong family! Gu Shuqing was unwilling to say more. He said directly, Ill give you two choices now. Either I inform your Seventh Brother now, or you go back by yourself.

I dont want any of them! Xiao Jiu shouted and looked at Mu Anan in panic. It grabbed Mu Anans wheelchair as if it were a life-saving straw.

Seventh sister-in-law, save me! Xiao Jiu said, I cant go back, and I cant let Seventh Brother know that Im here. Hell send me back immediately. I dont want to live like my parents. Once I go back, nothing will change!

Xiao Jiu was originally holding onto the wheelchair, but in the end, she grabbed Mu Anans hand.

She used a lot of force.

It was like the last life-saving straw.

Mu Anan could feel the pain in her hand. She had a feeling that if she let go today, it would completely change Xiao Jius future.

Facing Xiao Jius stubborn and unwilling gaze, Mu Anan could not let go.

She hesitated for a few seconds before saying, Why dont I tell your Seventh Brother to let you stay here first?

Xiao Jiu shook her head vigorously. He wont. Hes too ruthless. The whole family said that he had no feelings. From that incident onwards, other than Grandpa, no one can make him retreat.

When Xiao Jiu said this, there was a strong fear of Zong Zhengyu in her words.

Mu Anan remained silent.

That was because she was not confident that she could plead for Xiao Jiu in front of the Seventh Master.

At this critical moment, Xiao Jius phone which had just fallen to the ground vibrated, and then the screen lit up.

It was a message from Song Ting.

Follower: Your brother is looking for someone to follow me. Meet me at the highway intersection in an hour.

Xiao Jiu was already panicking, and when it saw Song Tings message, it panicked even more. Its over, its over. My seventh brother found Song Ting. He, hell find me soon. Hell teach me a lesson and send me backIm in the trouble, Im in the trouble.

Xiao Jiu was panicking.

She was very afraid of the Seventh Master.

She was even more afraid of returning to the Zong family.

She would be immediately forced to get engaged. As the ninth miss of the Zong family, she was all too clear about the Zong Zheng familys methods.

Xiao Jiu was panicking. Im in the trouble. Im in the trouble. Im dead. Im dead

Hearing Xiao Jius fl.u.s.tered words, Mu Anan frowned and pressed Xiao Jius shoulders. Xiao Jiu, calm down. I have a way.

Xiao Jius eyes lit up.

Dr. Gu frowned and looked at Mu Anan.

I m going to the small courtyard in the forest of Qi Mountain tomorrow for a few days. Are you coming with me?

As soon as Mu Anan finished speaking, Gu Shuqing immediately said, Are you going to care about her?

Mu Anans tone was firm. Yes!

Do you know what the Zong family is like? Dr. Gu frowned.

Mu Anan glanced at Xiao Jiu and said with certainty in her eyes..
