Chapter 399 - 399:1 Will Always Be By Your Side
“Xiao Jiu.” Seventh Master said as he leaned back in the seat and played with
Mu Anan’s earlobe, “It’s my sister’s nickname.”
“Hmm?” Mu Anan didn’t dare to say too much. She only expressed her doubts.
Mu Anan had also heard that Seventh Master’s sister had run away from home, but Seventh Master had never said much about it. Now that he suddenly mentioned it, Mu Anan felt very uneasy.
At this moment, Seventh Master’s tone was very calm, “Xiao Jiu and Song Ting were childhood sweethearts. They were about the same age. Xiao Jiu often bullied Song Ting when they were young.”
Mu Anan smiled, “Seventh Master, do you want to tell me a story?”
“Logically speaking, Song Ting and Xiao Jiu’s identities match. They’re very suitable.” Zong Zhengyu didn’t answer Mu Anan’s question directly. Instead, he looked at her indifferently, “But Song Ting’s mother and Xiao Jiu’s father had an abnormal relationship.”
Mu Anan looked a little stunned.
Seventh Master continued, “Song Ting’s mother used to be a pianist, but because of a scandal with Xiao Jiu’s father, she fell off the stage and fractured her wrist. Since then, she left Liuli City after bidding farewell to the stage.”
Xiao Jiu had talked to Mu Anan about Song Ting’s family. She also mentioned that Song Ting’s mother had moved to Gini City because her hand was injured.
However, Mu Anan didn’t know about the relationship.
However, it was obvious that Xiao Jiu knew nothing about it.
It was unclear whether Song Ting knew about it or not.
“So…” Seventh Master spoke again,” These two guys can’t be together.”
Mu Anan’s heart skipped a beat.
She realized the complicated relationships and rules of the Zong family.
A huge family gave its members endless wealth and power, but at the same time, there were many restrictions.
However, compared to the relationships of his family, Xiao Jiu and Song Ting, Mu Anan was more concerned about the reason why Seventh Master suddenly told her about these things.
However, Mu Anan did not want to ask directly. Instead, she beat around the bush and asked, “So, your sister and Song Ting like each other?”
“What do you think?”
“Me? I don’t know them…” Mu Anan smiled, but her heart was beating wildly.
However, Seventh Master put down his hand that was playing with her earlobe, “Well, you don’t know them.”
He said this in a very soft tone.
Mu Anan was very uncertain. What did Seventh Master mean by this?
Was it just a casual remark, or did he know something?
Mu Anan rolled her eyes and asked, “Seventh Master, what do you think will happen if your sister and Song Ting like each other and insist on being together?”
“Our family has already arranged a marriage for Xiao Jiu.” Seventh Master said directly.
Mu Anan did not understand, “If Xiao Jiu ran away from the wedding and escaped to Gini City… I mean, elope with Song Ting.”
“She can’t leave. Gini City is also the Zong family’s territory.”
“Is there no way to change it?” Mu Anan suddenly felt sad.
Zong Zhengyu did not answer.
But looking at the indifferent eyes of Seventh Master, Mu Anan seemed to have found the answer.
“Has the Zong family always been like this…”
Mu Anan mumbled.
She suddenly remembered what Gu Shuqing had said at Xiao Jiu’s villa.
Gu Shuqing’s firm tone at that time was more of a shackle that he could not get rid of and an outcome that could not be changed.
She thought of Xiao Jiu’s vitality and her smile.
Mu Anan did not feel good.
“Seventh Master…”
Mu Anan suddenly said and grabbed Zong Zhengyu’s sleeve.
She had heard rumors in Liuli City.
Zong Zhengyu was the old master’s favorite grandson and the only person in the same generation who grew up by the old master’s side.
One of the reasons was that Seventh Master’s parents had died early.
Furthermore, from the day Seventh Master was born and the strange phenomenon in the sky, the old master had determined that he was the future successor of the Zong family.
Forget about how many good successors there were in the heirs, or the stories between the Seventh Master, the old master, and Gu Shuqing.
The identity of the future heir of the Zong family was something that many people could not match even after a lifetime of cultivation.
Including her, Mu Anan.
Mu Anan tugged at Seventh Master’s sleeve tightly. She wanted to ask, “Will you choose a more suitable match in the future, and then… You’ll abandon me.”
However, this question was too heavy and sensitive. Mu Anan did not dare to ask.
She was not afraid of anything.
But when it came to this man, she became a coward.
She was a cautious coward who did not dare to cross the line.
She hated such a coward.
However, she was also thankful for such a coward.
Because she was really worried that she would be separated from the man just because of one sentence.
Mu Anan suddenly smiled and said, “Seventh Master, I will always be by your side unless you don’t want me.”
Mu Anan’s sudden words stunned Seventh Master.
He suddenly reached out and pinched Mu Anan’s cheek.
He exerted a little force, and Mu Anan immediately felt pain, “Seventh Master, what are you doing?”
“Don’t think about such nonsense. It’s so pretentious.”
“What’s wrong with being pretentious? Isn’t it wrong for a girl to be pretentious?” Mu Anan was displeased.
After saying this, Seventh Master let go of his hand.
Mu Anan rubbed her face and continued to ask, “Seventh Master, tell me if it is fine for a beautiful girl to be pretentious?”
Seventh Master did not answer.
Mu Anan took advantage of the red light and sat on Master Seventh Master’s lap.
Seeing this, Zong Zhengyu quickly protected Mu Anan’s waist.
The car window was slightly rolled down and stopped at a red light. It happened to be parked side by side with Jiang Zhen and Guo Yuehua’s car.
Jiang Zhen had noticed that he was going to park with Seventh Master and was about to roll down the window to greet him. However, when he saw this scene, he was dumbfounded.
Jiang Zhen slowly turned his head to look at Guo Yuehua, “Yuehua, what do you think… Is it normal?”
Guo Yuehua turned her head and saw Mu Anan holding the Seventh Master’s face. She moved intimately.
There was no one else in the vast Liuli City who dared to be so close to Seventh Master.
Guo Yuehua immediately thought of Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin could have done this.
As long as she could successfully build a relationship with Seventh Master in the later stages, with Jiang Qin’s talent, she would definitely become Seventh Master’s doted partner.
Now, it was all ruined by Mu Anan.
Jealousy flashed across Guo Yuehua’s eyes.
However, the jealous look only lasted for less than a minute. Guo Yuehua immediately snorted and said, “Heh, I knew it. She can stay by Seventh Master’s side because of these seductive methods. Such a trashy guy is a real pain in the ass.”
After Guo Yuehua said that, she immediately turned her head to look at the other side.
The red light passed, and the car started moving slowly.
Jiang Zhen deliberately started the car later and followed Seventh Master’s car, which was a courtesy.
“Jiang Zhen, do you know what I hated the most about Mu Qing back then?”
Jiang Zhen didn’t say anything.
Guo Yuehua continued, “What I hate the most is Mu Qing’s aloofness. She clearly had eyes for your appearance, for the various experiments you helped that old man make, yet she still acted as if she was gracing you with her noble presence.”
Jiang Zhen wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and opened his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, Guo Yuehua said again….
