Chapter 257: Nothing Could Be Hidden from Him

After Chen Hua finished speaking, she grabbed her things, pushed Mu Anan away, and walked out of the office.

Mu Anan stood where she was without moving.

Chen Hua’s accusation silenced Mu Anan.

Her heart felt like it had been stabbed by countless sharp objects.

It was especially painful and uncomfortable.

Mu Anan began to doubt herself.

In her friends.h.i.+p with Chen Hua, Mu Anan had always been bad-tempered, domineering, and sometimes too straightforward when speaking to Chen Hua.

Chen Hua had always tolerated her with a good temper.

That was the first time Mu Anan had seen Chen Hua break down and complain like that. She began to suspect that it was because she had taken Chen Hua for granted.

Especially Chen Hua’s last sentence, ‘1 really can’t stand your high and mighty att.i.tude.’

It made Mu Anan doubt whether what she had done was right.

Chen Hua’s breakdown and her inferiority complex.

Was she really wrong?

Mu Anan fell into self-doubt and felt very uncomfortable.

Mu Anan had very few friends since she was young, almost none.

In the past, when she was in the Mu family, a car was arranged to fetch her to and from school, and she had little contact with the children in cla.s.s.

It was mainly because Mu Anan had heard the children in the cla.s.s badmouthing her in the washroom several times. She was not the kind of person who would ask for a snub.

She felt that if the children did not like her, she would not be with them. She would study and do her own things.

Mu Anan was also like that when she was adopted by Seventh Master.

All she wanted to do was practice and study hard. It didn’t matter if she had friends or not. She wasn’t lonely anyway.

Later on, when she went to university, she deliberately pretended to be ugly to avoid Jiang Qin because she went to the same university as her. And as a result, she did not make friends too.

Mu Anan still remembered that the first time she spoke to Chen Hua was in the school canteen.

Back then, when Seventh Master was on a business trip, Mu Anan had a sudden impulse to try eating in the canteen since she had never eaten there before.

She thought the school could use WeChat payment, but the medical school required a meal card. Mu Anan was dumbfounded.

When she was about to leave, Chen Hua patted Mu Anan’s shoulder and carefully handed her the meal card.

At that time, Chen Hua did not dare to look at Mu Anan and spoke softly.

Mu Anan could no longer remember what she had said. She had probably meant to let Mu Anan use it first since they were in the same cla.s.s.

After that, they ate together and did not say much.

Chen Hua was introverted, and Mu Anan was used to being alone.

The meal was rather awkward, but Mu Anan could never forget it.

She couldn’t forget the noisy canteen and the not-so-delicious lunch. The sunlight s.h.i.+ning in through the window made the canteen especially hot.

Later, during a major cla.s.s, Mu Anan took the initiative to sit with Chen Hua for the first time. The two of them slowly got to know each other.

Mu Anan had a short temper. She would inevitably become self-conscious since she was used to being alone. However, Chen Hua had always been tolerant and did not get angry with her.

Mu Anan felt that she only had one friend who was good to her. She did not know what else she could do other than treat Chen Hua better.

However, Chen Hua’s accusation made Mu Anan begin to doubt herself.

Was all the good she did wrong?

Because Chen Hua did not feel happy. Instead, she felt she was high and mighty and showing off.

Mu Anan lowered her gaze.

At the same time, a creaking sound came from the quiet office.

The door was pushed open.

Mu Anan turned around and saw Ruan Yu carefully pus.h.i.+ng the door open. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Mu Anan was the only one in the office.

Ruan Yu looked at Mu Anan and hesitated.

Mu Anan adjusted her emotions and smiled. She returned to her seat and turned on her computer to understand the patient’s recent condition.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Ruan Yu peeked at Mu Anan a few times and hesitated.

Mu Anan knew, but she pretended not to see it.

She didn’t feel like talking right then.

When it was time for her rounds, Mu Anan took her notebook and pen and left.

It seemed to be especially quiet that night. Mu Anan patrolled around and found that all the rooms were quiet.

Many who couldn’t fall asleep lay there in a daze and didn’t speak.

Mu Anan deliberately left Momo’s ward for the last.

As soon as she reached the door, she saw Huo Xian sitting in front of Momo’s ward through the small window.

The two of them were playing with their phones.

Mu Anan could see Huo Xian’s phone from where she was standing. The two were playing a game, and the scene was quite harmonious.

Although Momo’s expression wasn’t intense, it was much better than usual.

Mu Anan watched for a while before leaving.

She did not return to her office. Instead, she sat alone on the bench in the long corridor.

The corridors of the mental hospital were especially empty at night.

Because it was the Depression Department, it was especially quiet.

The patients in other departments were very lively at night, and the commotion was quite big.

Mu Anan sat on the bench in a daze, thinking about Chen Hua.

At that moment, she wanted to find someone to ask if she had done something wrong and not consider Chen Hua’s feelings.

Or rather, was she spoilt and never had any qualms when she spoke?

But who should she tell?

Mu Anan didn’t want Seventh Master to worry.

Although Seventh Master had never mentioned it, the matters in Liuli City must be troublesome. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come back and immediately rushed over.

Seventh Master had rushed back immediately because of Mu Anan’s tone on the phone. Mu Anan did not want to cause him any more trouble.

Just as Mu Anan was thinking about that, her phone rang.

It was a video call from Seventh Master.

Mu Anan stared at it for a few seconds and subconsciously wanted to hang up, thinking it was not a good time for Seventh Master to see her.

However, if she hung up, Seventh Master would become more worried.

He had a lot of things to do, and she really couldn’t continue to cause trouble.

Mu Anan thought for a few seconds, then rubbed her face and tried to put on a relaxed smile as she accepted Zong Zhengyu’s video call request.

The screen paused for a second before Zong Zhengyu’s face appeared.

His entire face was almost on the screen.

However, even if his face was zoomed in, it was still flawless. In fact, it even highlighted the perfection of that face.

His eyebrows, eyes, nose, and even his mouth were all very exquisite and perfectly proportioned.

No matter how one looked at it, it was breathtaking and tempting.

Since Mu Anan had liked that man for so many years, she naturally looked at him with a filter.

However, Mu Anan had always felt that that man was still extremely handsome even without her filter!

“Brother Yu, have you arrived?” Mu Anan asked softly.

Zong Zhengyu distanced his phone and placed it on the coffee table, clearly showing the man sitting on the sofa.

He was wearing a simple s.h.i.+rt with three b.u.t.tons open at the collar, giving him a casual charm.

Zong Zhengyu didn’t say anything but stared at Mu Anan, who was smiling at him, with suspicion.

Mu Anan was afraid he would notice something, so she took the initiative to say, “Seventh Master, I’m on duty.”

Zong Zhengyu frowned, “Did Jiang Zhen look for you again?”

Mu Anan quickly shook her head, “No.”

“Stop smiling.” Zong Zhengyu leaned back on the sofa, easily seeing through Mu Anan’s disguise, “Tell me. What happened?”

It was hard to refute those words.
