Chapter 21: Cowardice in the Face of Seventh Master

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Mu Anan caught up with Seventh Master and persisted. “Seventh Master, are you really not going to consider it? You’re so busy, I can go by myself.”

“Seventh Master?”

“Seventh Master, is there no room for discussion?”

“Seventh master…”

“Shut up.”

The next second after Zong Zhengyu raised his impatient eyes, Mu Anan cowered and swallowed all her words.

She followed Zong Zhengyu with her head lowered to the car and sat in the front passenger seat.

Mu Anan stared ahead as she put on her seat belt and said resignedly, “Seventh Master, I will always remember that you saved me. It’s a pity that I won’t have the chance to repay your kindness in this life. You must find me in the next life so I can repay you.”

Zong Zhengyu hands had just touched the steering wheel when Mu Anan said what sounded like her last words.

He raised his eyebrows slightly.

Mu Anan turned her head and looked at Zong Zhengyu with a solemn expression. “Now that things have come to this, I have to tell you something before I die.”

Zong Zhengyu narrowed his eyes.

Mu Anan was very serious as she continued, “The red wine that you’ve been keeping for three years in the wine cellar… I was the one who secretly drank it and put the blame on Dr. Gu.”

Zong Zhengyu was speechless.

“Also, do you remember the white shirt you wore to the meeting last Christmas with a hole? That hole was accidentally burned by me, not Dr. Gu.”

Zong Zhengyu was silent.

“Last year, when you were attending a meeting at a hotel, I was the one who turned off the main switch of the hotel. The main reason I did that was because I saw a bunch of shameless women inside. It wasn’t Dr. Gu’s fault.”

Zong Zhengyu remained silent.

“There’s still more…”

“You can shut up now.”

Zong Zhengyu massaged his glabella. If Mu Anan continued down this path, he could not guarantee that he wouldn’t teach this misbehaved girl a lesson on the spot.

He wondered how much blame Gu Shuqing had taken for her.

When Mu Anan was about to speak again, Zong Zhengyu had already started the car and sped off.

Mu Anan leaned against the back of her seat, holding on to her seatbelt tightly. She felt that Zong Zhengyu was driving the car like it was a plane, testing the car’s limit to see when it would crash or flip over.

It was way too exciting.

In Mu Anan’s eyes, Seventh Master was perfect. He was handsome, tall, decisive, and quick. He could do anything.

But Seventh Master had a weakness.

His driving.

He drove the car like a fighter jet every time.

The moment they arrived at the entrance of the mental hospital, Mu Anan’s first reaction was to check Seventh Master’s body, and then her own body.

When she realized that there were no missing limbs, she instantly felt as if she had survived a disaster.

“Seventh Master, your driving skills have improved…” I’m still intact.

The cowardly Mu Anan swallowed the rest of her words under Zong Zhengyu’s warning gaze.

She quickly pivoted to give him a compliment, “Seventh Master, your driving skills are amazing.”

Zong Zhengyu was silent momentarily before he said, “Get out of the car.”

Mu Anan quickly got out of the car. However, she couldn’t help but ask when she closed the door, “Seventh Master, are you going to pick me up later?”

Zong Zhengyu responded with a cold gaze.

Mu Anan immediately shut her mouth and gave Zong Zhengyu a bright smile, then quickly left.

After Mu Anan went into the mental hospital, the car that had been following them stopped and Luo Sen got out.

Zong Zhengyu got out of the driver’s seat and sat in the back.

Luo Sen took over the driver’s seat and stole a glance in the rearview mirror.

As Zong Zhengyu’s special assistant, Luo Sen naturally knew Seventh Master to some extent.

Sending Miss Anan here on the first day of her internship was a celebratory gesture for this milestone of her life.

Luo Sen did not say anything because Seventh Master would not want him to speak.

…

When Mu Anan entered the mental hospital, she bumped into Chen Hua.

Mu Anan waved happily at Chen Hua. “Good morning.”

“Good morning.”

Chen Hua answered, but she looked at Mu Anan with a strange expression before suddenly turning around to look at the driveway of the mental hospital.

The car had already left.

Chen Hua asked hesitantly, “Anan, did I see you come out of a Ferrari just now?”

Chen Hua stuttered awkwardly.

“It’s the first day of my internship. My friend sent me here.” Mu Anan answered without hesitation.

“Then your friend must be quite extraordinary, right?”

Chen Jiali’s brother loved to show off. He often showed Chen Hua photos of all kinds of sports cars, so Chen Hua could recognized quite a few luxury cars.

The Ferrari that Mu Anan had just gotten out of was a limited edition. There were only three of them in Jianglan City.

Those who could own this car were people at the top of the Jianglan City pyramid.

“So, so. He just likes sports cars.”

Mu Anan wanted to talk about Seventh Master, but she would take it slow with Chen Hua for fear of scaring her.

Mu Anan immediately changed the subject, “How are you? Did you get a checkup before you were discharged? Are you feeling okay?”

In the face of Mu Anan’s concern, Chen Hua stopped talking about the luxury car. “I’m fine now.”

The two walked into the mental hospital together.

Compared to the overcrowding in ordinary hospitals, the mental hospital was larger and had fewer people, so it was quieter.

Their homeroom teacher’s email yesterday was very clear.

When the interns arrived at the mental hospital, the instruction was for them to report to the person in change, Director Chang, at the office building.

However, when the two of them arrived at the ground floor of the office building, Chen Hua suddenly grabbed Mu Anan’s arm. “Anan…”

Mu Anan turned around and saw Chen Hua’s solemn face. It was obvious that she had something to say.

Mu Anan did not say anything and just waited patiently.

“Erm, Anan…” Chen Hua hesitated for a long time before finally throwing caution to the wind. “Can I ask you something?”

“About Chen Jiali?”

“You, how did you know?” Chen Hua was shocked.

Mu Anan, however, looked calm.

Chen Hua was all wishy-washy and seemed to be begging her. What else could be on her mind other than Chen Jiali?

Mu Anan didn’t try to be subtle with Chen Hua and asked directly, “You want me to let go of what happened yesterday?”

Chen Hua’s expression became even more shocked.

She knew that Mu Anan was smart, but she did not expect her to be so smart that she could guess what she was thinking.

However, when Chen Hua met Mu Anan’s gaze, she said guiltily, “My mother found out why I was hospitalized yesterday, but… But she said that it happened because I was stupid, so this matter is over.”

Mu Anan frowned immediately when she heard this. “Didn’t you tell your mother the details?”

Chen Hua’s eyes instantly turned red. “I did, but, but my mother said that if my brother wants to have a good job in future, he will need Chen Jiali’s family’s help. If I, if I make a fuss about this, my brother won’t be able to get a good job. She, she also…”

Chen Hua’s mother even warned her to let this matter pass and not to make a fuss.

Chen Hua found it difficult to say these words.

She had grown up with parents who favored her bother. She wasn’t happy about it but had to accept it. There was nothing she could do as she was weak and incompetent.

“Anan, I’m begging you, okay?” Chen Hua looked at Mu Anan pleadingly.
