Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“I saw a sentence on the Internet,” Xiao Jiu suddenly said seriously, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”
Mu Anan remained silent.
Xiao Jiu said, “I don’t know what your family background is or what kind of situation you’re in. But 1 know that you give me a good feeling. It’s comfortable to be with you. Actually, 1 can go anywhere to run away from home, but I came to you when 1 heard you mention Jianglan City.
1 just want to know more about you and be closer friends with you. 1 like you.”
Xiao Jiu’s frank words warmed Mu Anan’s heart.
It was a very different feeling.
There was a little girl who liked her because she had interacted with her, so she wanted to be friends with her and get to know her seriously.
“Alright, then you can slowly know more about me.” Mu Anan smiled. “But don’t worry. My man’s house is big, so I’ll arrange a small villa for you. You won’t run into him often. Just stay here for a few days.”
“I’m not afraid of running into that man. I just…” Xiao Jiu was a little at a loss for words. “I just feel awkward. It’s not that I’m embarrassed. I’m just afraid that you’ll be embarrassed. It’s just… Sigh, forget it! I won’t say anymore.”
After nagging for a long time, Xiao Jiu didn’t even know what to say.
Mu Anan did not continue the topic.
“Call me when you come over. I’ll pick you up.” Mu Anan immediately changed the topic, “When is the flight?”
“I’m not taking a plane.”
“Hmm?”
“My friend will drive me there.”
Mu Anan was immediately shocked when she heard Xiao Jiu’s words. “Are you crazy? Do you know how far Liuli City is from here? It would take at least two days for you to drive here.”
“There’s nothing I can do. I can’t use my ID card or else my father will find out.” Xiao Jiu sounded helpless and dissatisfied.
When she thought of her father, she shouted,” I don’t know what my father thinks all day. He’s just like an old fogey. Besides, my family is not ordinary. There are some things that ordinary families can’t investigate, but my family can!
If it weren’t for this friend of mine, 1 would have been caught by my father and a few brothers even if I took the bus.”
Xiao Jiu added, “My tyrant Seventh Brother is in Jianglan City. If it weren’t for you, Jianglan City would be a place 1 would never set foot in.
The moment I step in, he can directly pick me out and deal with me.”
When Xiao Jiu mentioned her Seventh Brother, her voice trembled.
It could be told that she had been tortured by her Seventh Brother when she was young, which caused her to be afraid when she mentioned his name.
She was still whining at this moment. “Actually, I know what would happen to me if I’m caught by my father and the other brothers for running away from home. But my Seventh Brother…”
“Sigh.”
“My Seventh Brother is not an ordinary person. If he catches me, he can hang me at the door of the house and teach me a lesson.”
It was terrifying just thinking about it.
Xiao Jiu cried out.
Mu Anan finally realized a thing.
Xiao Jiu was actually a chatterbox.
Especially when it came to her father and brothers, she was an expert at ridiculing them.
Mu Anan smiled. “Xiao Jiu, your house is very lively because of you, right?”
“What do you mean?”
“Isn’t it lively at home when you’re so noisy every day?” Mu Anan teased.
She showed Xiao Jiu some respect and did not directly call her a chatterbox.
However, Xiao Jiu understood. She laughed for a while on the phone before saying, “That’s because you haven’t seen my Eighth Brother. He’s the one who likes to nag.”
After saying that, Xiao Jiu suddenly thought of something. “Did 1 tell you that my Eighth Brother and I are twins?”
“No.”
“Then you know now.” Xiao Jiu said, “Perhaps the heavens saw that my father’s personality was too bad, so they let Eighth Brother and I reincarnate as his children to ease my father’s sins.”
“Although my Eighth Brother is long-winded, his grades are good. My father treasures him very much. He will do whatever he says. As for me, he won’t do whatever I say. Just thinking about it makes me feel stifled. He prefers boys over girls.
If my grandfather didn’t favor me, my father would have thrown me into the trash can. Opss! My grandfather favors my Seventh Brother the most. Sigh! Nobody loves me.”
“Sister, Xiao Jiu is too pitiful. You have to love me more in the future.”
Mu Anan was overjoyed when she heard Xiao Jiu’s blabbering.
This little girl was too cute and fun.
Mu Anan immediately said, “Okay, okay, okay. Xiao Jiu, come here. Sister will love you in the future.”
“Wait, your little cutie will be there soon.”
“I’m waiting.”
Mu Anan replied with a smile. Then, she chatted with Xiao Jiu for a while before ending the call.
At the same time, Mu Anan felt much more relaxed and happy.
She quite liked Xiao Jiu.
Most importantly, this person easily made people feel relaxed.
She was innocent and cute. She was also a chatterbox. She could babble endlessly, which was especially lovely and lively.
Mu Anan was lying on the bed, laughing.
However, this relaxed and happy mood did not last long before it was shattered by a phone call.
It was a phone number from Xing Yun Kingdom.
Mu Anan’s face turned ugly when she saw the name of the place. Her heart skipped a beat.
It had been a long time since she received a call from Zhong Ting.
Mu Anan sat up immediately and moved her wheelchair toward the floor-to-ceiling window.
Then, she leaned against the side and answered the phone, “Speak.”
“I’ve no money.” The other party’s answer was still simple.
In the past, Mu Anan would have hung up the phone and transferred the money to Zhong Ting.
She had to be careful because she was afraid that the Seventh Master would find out.
But this time, Mu Anan did not do so.
She asked, “Where should I give you the money? Xing Yun Kingdom? Or should I get someone from Liuli City to send it to you? Let’s confirm with the venue.”
Mu Anan was obviously probing.
She had seen a side profile that looked like Zhong Ting in the cafe in Liuli City.
Although Xiao Jiu had sent a video and a photo to prove that it was not Zhong Ting, Mu Anan still felt uneasy.
She couldn’t be completely at ease.
This matter had been kept hidden well at the beginning.
Now that she could come clean, Mu Anan did not want any problems to arise at the crucial point.
After Mu Anan said that, there was a long silence on the other end of the line before she said, “Same place. Why would I go to Liuli City? Do you want me to go back?”
Her words were filled with doubt.
The other party was silent after Mu Anan’s words because Mu Anan was different from before. She suddenly started to communicate with her.
Hearing Zhong Ting’s words, Mu Anan fell silent for a while before saying, “I understand. I’ll transfer the money to you as usual.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone and deleted the record.
However, just as Mu Anan was about to press the button, a voice rang behind her. “What money?”
The familiar voice of the sub-bass cannon rang out. Mu Anan’s body stiffened almost instantly. Her movements on the phone trembled.
She was about to press the “delete” button, but in the end, she pressed “no”.
If she hadn’t reacted quickly and restrained her trembling hands in time, she would have thrown the phone out.
Mu Anan’s heart was beating wildly, but she had to suppress it with all her might.
She turned around slowly and saw Seventh Master standing behind her.
“Seventh Master, when did you come in?” Mu Anan tried her best to ask in a calm and normal tone.
At the same time, her brain quickly recalled if she had revealed too much information from the two sentences she had said to Zhong Ting.
“I just came in.” Zong Zhengyu’s voice was very calm as he asked again, “What money did you just say?”
“Yes?” Mu Anan’s brain short-circuited. “Money? What money?”
She had always been smart, but at this moment, her brain was really stuck.
If she had been caught playing a prank in the past, Mu Anan’s brain would have worked faster than anything else. She would have been able to come up with seven or eight reasons to hide from the Seventh Master.
But this time, she was a little powerless.
She couldn’t think of anything.
Just as I was about to type, my left pinky and ring finger suddenly twitched, and couldn’t straighten. It hurt a lot. That’s it for today’s typing with one hand. I have to visit the doctor now.
Girls, wait. I’ll give you more tomorrow..
