Chapter 48 - 48: How Do I Deserve to be Happy?
Mu Anan suppressed her nervousness and smiled calmly.
With a casual attitude, she said, “You know I enjoy having fun. I used to go to bars and bounce around, or skateboard in the square over there.”
Mu Anan settled down and added, “You mentioned earlier that girls face a disadvantage when they engage in such activities.”
“So obedient are you.” Zong Zhengyu reached out and rubbed Mu Allan’s short silver hair.
Mu Anan only felt that his hand was a little cold and prickly.
She maintained her smile.
Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she quickly said, “Oh right. I drove out just as you were going out. I wanted to go to a disco, but I met a lunatic on the way.”
“Hmm?”
Zong Zhengyu withdrew his hand, his slender fingers twirling the micro voice changer in his hand.
Dr. Gu was so nervous that he was emotionless. His skin was extremely tense.
Mu Anan was very calm, “Right, there was an idiot who insisted on racing with me. 1 wasn’t willing, but he hit me. 1 was so angry that 1 raced him for a while. Just for a while, Seventh Master! 1 came back as soon as getting rid of him! 1 promise!”
Mu Anan looked sincere.
Zong Zhengyu stopped wiiat he was doing and grabbed the micro voice changer in his hand.
Watching Zong Zhengyu’s actions, the nervousness in Mu Allan’s heart did not diminish.
Because she didn’t know how much Zong Zhengyu believed her.
When she came in, she received a reminder from Dr. Gu’s expression.
Mu Anan was certain that Zong Zhengyu must have found out something.
Given the current situation, the only thing that would leave a handle on it would be the car.
“Seventh Master, 1 know you don’t like me racing.” Mu Anan said, “But you know that I’m a wild person. I can’t stand being provoked like that. You wouldn’t want me to be bullied either, would you?”
Mu Anan had no choice but to use her trump card.
Coquetry!
She was originally hugging Zong Zhengyu’s arm, but in the end, she simply sat on Zong Zhengyu’s lap.
Zong Zhengyu was a little surprised by this sudden movement. He subconsciously reached out to hug Mu Allan’s waist to prevent her from slipping down.
Mu Anan moved, “Seventh Master, don’t be angry with me, okay?”
She acted coquettishly with her body waving.
Zong Zhengyu’s face was calm, but it changed slightly because of this small action of Mu Anan.
Zong Zhengyu suddenly felt his heart pause for a moment.
Mu Anan did not feel the change in Zong Zhengyu. She only felt that her coquettish behavior today did not seem to work.
Not only did Seventh Master’s expression not ease up, but it even sank.
So did Mu Allan’s heart.
She could only keep making a pitiful face.
“Seventh Master, can you not be angry with me? 1 feel sad every time you get angry. I won’t race anymore. In the future, 1…”
Before Mu Anan could finish her sentence, Zong Zhengyu had already picked her up from his lap.
If Mu Anan continued, his rationality would collapse. As his headache worsened, he would completely lose his rationality and do something intimate with her here.
“Seventh Master?” Mu Anan was stunned.
Zong Zhengyu ignored Mu Anan and walked upstairs.
“Seventh Master.”
Mu Anan jumped off the sofa and wanted to chase after him. However, Zong Zhengyu said angrily, “Stay here!”
With that, he quickly went upstairs and closed the door.
At downstairs.
Mu Anan stood where she was with a grave expression.
The sound of Zong Zhengyu’s earth-shattering slamming of the door just now was so loud that she could feel it from the ground floor.
During her eight years at the Yuyuan Estate, Mu Anan had always been under the care of Zong Zhengyu. Although she had gotten into trouble and was caught doing bad things, as long as Mu Anan acted coquettishly and looked at Zong Zhengyu innocently, nothing would happen.
But this time, it seemed to not work at all.
Mu Anan thought about how Zong Zhengyu had grabbed her hand and refused her touch.
She started to panic.
Mu Anan turned around and looked at Dr. Gu, who was standing there, “What did someone report to Seventh Master just now?”
“It was someone from the garage. I didn’t hear him clearly, but I reckon he said something about the car. Did you damage the car badly this time?”
“That idiot competed with me and played dirty tricks.”
Mu Anan didn’t say the full name of the idiot, but Dr. Gu knew who it was.
Dr. Gu was the only person who knew about the case of Mu Anan’s car racing and her approach to the Jiang family.
Dr. Gu was silent for a while before saying, “Have you ever thought about giving up on this matter?”
“No, 1 haven’t.” Mu Anan replied directly.
“But you know that Seventh Master has been preventing you from getting close to the Jiang family. He’s not objecting to you racing, but objecting to you not spare to the Jiang family. But if you…”
He paused, and the rest of his words were not pleasant to hear for her.
Mu Anan knew what Dr. Gu was going to say. She smiled bitterly, “If I let the Jiang family go, how could I avenge my mother and grandfather? My mother and grandfather have been dead for eight years. Do you know how I have been living these eight years, Gu Shuqing?”
“Every time I felt happy around with the Seventh Master around, I would have nightmares that night. 1 dreamt that my mother stood in front of me, covered in blood, and asked me why could 1 be entitled to happiness. 1 dreamed that my grandfather looked at me with disappointment.”
“Do you know how painful such a scene would be for me? Do you know how this guilt has tortured me?”
“They could not rest in peace in death. How do I deserve to be happy?”
Mu Anan spoke with great restraint. She clenched her fists tightly to prevent herself from losing control of her emotions.
However, her slightly red eyes still revealed the sorrow in her heart.
Only Mu Anan understood the pain that knowing who the murderers were and watching them live so arrogantly in the world, yet unable to do anything about it.
Dr. Gu was speechless.
“Actually, I’ve also thought about why Seventh Master didn’t avenge me….”
