Chapter 401:1 Came Here to Look for My Mother

Mu Anan stared at the person beside her.
He wore a red and black sweatshirt, and his curly blonde hair was noticeable. Because he was of mixed blood, the greenish-gray pupils of his eyes and the high bridge of his nose had been the man’s trademark.
Mu Anan was very surprised.
She hadn’t seen the person for a long time, yet she met him in this way.
And Huo Xian, who was sitting beside her, chuckled,” When I saw such a voluminous convoy, I thought it was you.”
With that, Huo Xian asked, “Why are you here all of a sudden? Where are you going?”
Huo Xian glanced at Mu Anan’s leg in a cast when he asked, but he didn’t say anything about it.
Mu Anan replied, “Hillside Yard.”
Huo Xian looked surprised, but he didn’t say anything.
Mu Anan stared at his expression and asked, “You’re going to Hillside Yard too. What’s the matter?”
Looking at Huo Xian’s expression, Mu Anan was sure that he was not here for a vacation.
When Huo Xian heard Mu Anan’s question, he laughed, “Little fairy, why are you still so smart?”
Mu Anan didn’t say much. She just stared at Huo Xian and waited for his answer.
At the same time, someone knocked on Mu Anan’s car window.
Mu Anan turned her head and rolled down the window. She saw Jiang Zhen looking at her with a fawning smile. When he saw Huo Xian beside Mu Anan, he was stunned.
Jiang Zhen knew the second Young Master of the Huo family.
“Anan, is he the friend you said you wanted to go to Hillside Yard?” Jiang Zhen asked in confusion.
After all, he thought that Xiao Jiu was the one going with them.
However, up until now, Seventh Master had left, and Xiao Jiu had not appeared.
Mu Anan glanced at Huo Xian with a calm expression, “Xiao Jiu will come here later. It will take more than an hour, if you can’t wait, you can go up first.”
“No problem. It’s merely an hour.” Jiang Zhen quickly said, “I came here to ask if you need anything to eat or drink.”
“No need. We have everything in the car. Thank you.” Mu Anan replied politely.
She did not have the time to pretend to be close to Jiang Zhen.
“Is there anything else?” Mu Anan asked directly. If not, let’s rest in the car.”
Jiang Zhen was taken aback. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and nodded, “No, no more. Just take your rest.”
After saying that, Mu Anan rolled up the window.
Jiang Zhen stood outside the car in a daze.
Because he felt that Mu Anan was cold.
In Jiang Zhen’s eyes, Mu Anan was the same as before. She was raised by Mu Qing as a little princess who was innocent of everything. She was deceitful and simple.
But when they contacted, Mu Anan rebuked him and made him speechless in the Jiang family that day. This time, she was cold.
It made Jiang Zhen feel that Mu Anan actually hated him and was not that innocent.
Yet he turned his thoughts.
Mu Anan had said that she needed to consider whether to come to Hillside Yard or not. Yet she gave her answer on the same day with enthusiasm.
Could it be…
Seventh master only sent her here, so he was in a bad mood?
When Jiang Zhen came up with the reason, he felt at ease.
His daughter was still innocent and harmless. She’s just in a bad mood sometimes, which was understandable.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhen felt much better. He turned around and walked towards his car.
However, when he saw Guo Yuehua sitting inside with a gloomy expression through the car window, Jiang Zhen was worried again.
If they had to wait an hour longer, Guo Yuehua would certainly complain, She would probably have to say some terrible words again…
Jiang Zhen’s footsteps grew heavy at the thought of Guo Yuehua’s reprimand.
Mu Anan, who was in the car, stared at Jiang Zhen until he returned to his car before she retracted her gaze.
She looked at Huo Xian.
She was waiting for an answer.
The answer that Huo Xian didn’t answer just now.
Huo Xian looked at the car window and chuckled.” I’m quite surprised that you’re Jiang Zhen’s daughter. What happened to your family back then was quite a sensation in the industry.
Although the media didn’t say much, everyone in the industry knew that Jiang Zhen was an ungrateful person. Guo Yuehua was not a simple woman either.” Every status had a different story.
In front of the media, Jiang Zhen had always maintained the role of a good husband. His bond with Guo Yuehua seemed to be merely a business. He needed a helping hand.
Many of the uninformed masses sympathized with him.
But what kind of person Jiang Zhen was, and how Guo Yuehua reached her position, insiders understood.
It was just that in the same industry, sometimes when there was a need for benefits, they would show respect on the surface.
“You know a lot about me indeed.” Mu Anan said.
Ever since Chen Hua left, she hadn’t interacted much with Huo Xian.
Mostly because they had a lot going on and didn’t run into each other, so they didn’t keep in touch.
Such a sudden meeting, especially since Huo Xian seemingly came to Qiyun Mountain for something, made the topic bland.
“It’s such a big deal, and about you. I gotta get to the bottom of it.” Huo Xian leaned against the car door with a relaxed gesture.
Mu Anan remained seated, “So, don’t you want to tell me why you’re here?”
Mu Anan didn’t mean to be aggressive and insist on knowing when she asked that.
After asking, she said directly,” If you don’t want to tell me, I’ll…”
“I’m looking for my mom.” Huo Xian answered directly.
Mu Anan was stunned and looked at Huo Xian, “Your mother?”
She remembered that when she met Huo Xian stealing medical records at the mental hospital, Huo Xian had mentioned something about his mother.
His mother was taken away from Huo Xian not long after he was born. Huo Xian did not even know his mother’s name. He only found out that Huo Xian’s mother was in a mental hospital after investigating and eavesdropping. Stealing medical records was also to find the place.
At that time, Mu Anan had offered to help Huo Xian, but he hadn’t accepted, so the matter was left unsettled.
Huo Xian did not mention it again, and Mu Anan did not ask about it either.
“Ok.” Mu Anan only replied with one word and did not ask any more questions.
Huo Xian had been leaning against the car door, taking out a bottle of Coke from the fridge naturally.
However, she realized that Mu Anan had only replied with one word and did not say anything. Instead, she lowered her head and played with her phone.
Huo Xian took a glance at the screen and the wallpaper. It was Mu Anan sleeping in a man’s arms. The Blue Tear behind them became the best background.
Huo Xian didn’t even need to look at the man’s appearance to know that it was Seventh Master.
His heart was a little pricked.
Huo Xian moved his head away and pretended to drink his coke as if nothing had happened, “I thought you would continue asking.”
“Ask what?” Mu Anan replied.
She was sending a message to Xiao Jiu, telling it that she was already waiting at the foot of Qiyun Mountain.
“I thought you would ask me why I came here to look for my mom.”
“So, do you want to say it?”
Just as Mu Anan looked up at Huo Xian, Huo Xian happened to turn his head back and met her eyes….
