Chapter 245:1 Just Miss You

Mu Anan had just calmed down in the bathroom.
When she came out, she saw Jiang Zhen patiently coaxing Jiang Qin.
Jiang Zhen’s attitude toward Jiang Qin was unlike how he had put up a fatherly act in front of Mu Anan. He really loved his daughter, so he was trying to appease Jiang Qin’s temper.
Mu Anan listened quietly.
She listened to Jiang Zhen talk about the project that her mother had left behind.
She heard the reason Seventh Master helped Jiang Zhen was to get that project.
Mu Anan had always thought that the source of the Mu family’s tragedy eight years ago was Jiang Zhen trying to take away the Mu family’s corporation and money.
But after hearing that conversation, Mu Anan suddenly felt that what she thought was the truth wasn’t the truth at all.
The deaths of her mother and grandfather were probably related to the project that Jiang Zhen had mentioned.
Mu Anan thought that Jiang Zhen was looking for her to silence her.
In the end, Jiang Zhen thought that she was a password.
So…
Back then, Seventh Master had saved her life because…
A terrifying truth surfaced, and Mu Anan froze.
Then, she immediately shook her head and rejected that idea.
No!
After the cruise incident, she had asked Seventh Master about it.
Seventh Master had said that he was not involved in that matter.
Mu Anan believed it wholeheartedly.
She didn’t want herself to think too much and deny it.
Mu Anan wanted to adjust her emotions.
She wanted to forget what she had just heard.
However, she was still not strong enough.
Her heart was not strong enough to rationally discard all that information.
When Mu Anan returned to her senses, she had already dialed Zong Zhengyu’s number.
The call was picked up very quickly, and Mu Anan did not even have the chance to regret it.
“Anan?” Seventh Master’s voice sounded through the phone as if it had knocked on Mu Anan’s heart.
She really didn’t believe it.
It was all for the so-called project.
What couldn’t a person of Seventh Master’s status get?
However, she still wanted the truth.
“Anan?” Zong Zhengyu asked again when he heard the silence.
H j n
Mu Anan tried to speak, but her voice was hoarse.
Her legs were trembling, and she didn’t know where her strength had gone.
She could only squat down.
“What happened?”
Seventh Master had already sensed something was wrong, and his tone turned cold.
Mu Anan covered the microphone and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Only then did she say, “Nothing. 1 just talked to the people at the mental hospital about my subsequent situation.”
Zong Zhengyu did not respond to Mu Anan’s words.
He clearly did not believe that Mu Anan’s abnormal call was just because of that.
Mu Anan, however, forced herself to lie, “I’ve already submitted my internship transfer report. If successful, I’ll be able to join the affiliated hospital in half a month. I’m originally good at surgery, so I’ll be able to display my strengths there.”
“By the way, Seventh Master, I’ll ask Chen Hua. If possible, 1’11 have to trouble you to help me get Chen Hua out of the mental hospital too.”
“But, you just have to help Chen Hua. I will still go through the normal procedures. 1 want to use my major to get the affiliated hospital to accept me.”
Mu Anan was like how she usually chatted with Seventh Master, talking a lot.
She talked casually, but her eyes were extremely sore because she was holding back too many emotions.
Zong Zhengyu didn’t interrupt her and just listened quietly.
When Mu Anan stopped talking, Seventh Master said, “Anan, I’ll go back tonight.”
Mu Anan had been suppressing her emotions, but at that moment, she broke down.
The tears she had been holding back until her eyes were stinging could no longer be held back.
Her tears seemed to have finally broken through the shackles and fell drop by drop.
“Seventh Master…” Mu Anan’s voice was hoarse, “I just miss you.”
“Good girl, I’ll be with you when 1 get home tonight.”
“It’s okay. You still have a lot of things to do over there. Don’t rush back. I just wanted to hear your voice. I’m alright now.”
Mu Anan wiped away the tears on her face and tried to smile brightly.
However, she realized that Seventh Master couldn’t see it.
Mu Anan said, “I’m still busy here. I won’t talk to you anymore. I’ll hang up first.”
Mu Anan ended the call after saying that.
She buried her face in her knees.
The phone in her hand vibrated.
It was a message from Seventh Master.
It was a photo.
Zong Zhengyu sat on the leather sofa. His posture was a little lazy, and his expression when he looked at the camera was a little impatient.
Mu Anan broke into a smile the moment she saw the photo.
Seventh Master never liked taking photos.
But that photo was obviously taken for her.
Mu Anan looked at the photo, crying and laughing.
Then, she cursed herself.
With how much Seventh Master doted on her, why would she suspect him?
It really shouldn’t have happened.
Mu Anan took a deep breath and replied to Seventh Master’s message.
Mu Anan: Fully resurrected!
Mu Anan: I’ll wait for you to come back in a few days.
Mu Anan looked at the two messages and felt it was insufficient, so she added another one.
Mu Anan: The obedient girl is very sensible. Her feelings of missing Seventh Master have been soothed, so Seventh Master can take his time to deal with things.”
Zong Zhengyu: You’re obedient.
Mu Anan looked at the message and chuckled. Then, she put her phone away.
She regulated her emotions and returned to her office to continue working.
However, just as she reached the office, Mu Anan received another message on her phone.
It was from Chen Hua.
“Anan, can you continue to be on duty at night? You can do it until 8:30 p.m. Chen Hua is on leave, and we can’t arrange for anyone to take over now.”
When Ruan Yu’s voice sounded, Mu Anan looked down at the contents of Chen Hua’s message.
Chen Hua: Anan, can you lend me another 20,000 yuan?
“Sure.”
Mu Anan replied to Ruan Yu. Then, she sat down and transferred the money to Chen Hua.
Chen Hua quickly accepted the money.
Chen Hua: Thank you, Anan!
Mu Anan typed on her phone: Did something happen to you?
Mu Anan deleted it as soon as she finished typing.
Mu Anan: No problem. Settle your issue first.
Mu Anan felt something was wrong, but she clearly felt that Chen Hua did not want to tell her, so Mu Anan chose not to ask.
For some reason, she thought of the scene the previous night when she bumped into Chen Hua supporting the drunk Huo Xian.
Was that money related to Huo Xian?
Thinking of that, Mu Anan sent a message to Huo Xian.
However, it was the same as before. There was no reply, like a stone sinking into the ocean.
Mu Anan was on duty until 8:30 p.m.
Jiang Qin didn’t have any shifts from the afternoon onwards. Mu Anan and
Ruan Yu were the ones on duty the whole time.
Mu Anan had driven her car there that day, so she was ready to go to the vacant lot to get her car after she walked out of the mental hospital.
However, just as Mu Anan was about to turn around, two bodyguards in black appeared in front of her and blocked her way.
Mu Anan instantly became alert, “Who are you?”
