Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Sister An, your scumbag father, and Poison Queen are so passionate. I’m a little embarrassed to cause trouble.”
“They’re just pretending.” Mu Anan was still very calm.
Guo Yuehua stood at the side and instructed the servants to place all kinds of delicacies on the coffee table.
Guo Yuehua turned around and said to Mu Anan, “Your father just told me this morning that you were coming, so I asked the servants to prepare it at the last minute. I don’t know if these will suit your taste.”
Faced with Guo Yuehua’s enthusiasm, Mu Anan’s expression was very cold. She just smiled and said, “Everything’s fine.”
She looked around.
Jiang Zhen and Guo Yuehua were very enthusiastic.
Mu Anan knew that it was an act, and she also knew why Jiang Zhen and Guo Yuehua were so enthusiastic.
What she was curious about was how Jiang Zhen managed to convince Guo Yuehua, who had always wanted to be noble, to be so passionate towards her.
As Mu Anan was deep in thought, Jiang Zhen stepped forward and said, “We’ll eat this dessert later. It’s already past midnight. It’s time for lunch. Anan must be hungry by now.”
As soon as Jiang Zhen finished speaking, Guo Yuehua suddenly reacted and clapped her hands. “Look at my memory. I’m so muddle-headed that 1 almost forgot about the important matter.”
After Guo Yuehua finished speaking, she quickly called the servants to the kitchen to get busy. She reminded me, “Be careful in the dining room and adjust it well. Miss’s foot is inconvenient. Don’t get it again…l don’t feel at ease at all when you guys do things.”
Guo Yuehua said to the servant as she quickened her pace and walked towards the dining room.
Jiang Zhen smiled and said to Anan, “Your auntie is always worrying. Shall I help you over now?”
As soon as Jiang Zhen finished speaking, Xiao Jiu had already taken a step to the side and stood behind Mu Anan, holding the wheelchair with both hands.
This action made Jiang Zhen, who had already pushed Mu Anan, feel a little awkward.
He glanced at Xiao Jiu and wiped his face with a handkerchief. “Speaking of which, Anan, I still don’t know who this is…”
“My friend, Xiao Jiu.” Mu Anan replied straightforwardly.
After hearing about Mu Anan’s parents in the car, Xiao Jiu developed strong feelings for Jiang Zhen and Guo Yuehua. Therefore, when Jiang Zhen looked at her, her attitude was very cold.
Although Xiao Jiu saw how passionate Jiang Zhen and Guo Yuehua were and how concerned she was about Mu Anan, it was completely different from what Mu Anan had told her.
However, Xiao Jiu trusted Mu Anan.
She unconditionally sided with her Sister An.
“Old Jiang, let Anan and her friends come in. They’re all ready.”
At this moment, Guo Yuehua’s voice came from the dining room.
Jiang Zhen immediately said, “Come, let’s go to the restaurant first. We can talk while we eat.”
As he spoke, Jiang Zhen led the way.
Xiao Jiu pushed Mu Anan and followed behind Jiang Zhen to the Jiang family’s house.
Mu Anan’s expression had been calm at first, but halfway through, she suddenly pressed down on the wheelchair and looked back with a solemn expression.
Xiao Jiu could feel Mu Anan’s shock and immediately bent over to ask, “Sister An, what’s wrong?”
Mu Anan did not answer. Instead, she stared at the hall behind her and looked at the seats on the second floor.
Other than the busy servants, there was nothing unusual.
However, Mu Anan had goosebumps all over her body as if she had been stared at by a venomous snake.
This feeling was the same as when she was at the press conference in the hotel lobby.
Mu Anan thought of the person on the second floor of the hotel that day.
The gaze was like that of a venomous snake, cold and poisonous.
Mu Anan frowned and stared at the front hall for a long time.
Jiang Zhen sensed that Mu Anan was not following them, so he turned around and asked, “Anan, what’s wrong?”
Hearing Jiang Zhen’s voice, Mu Anan retracted her gaze.
There was nothing unusual about her expression as she shook her head at Jiang Zhen. “Nothing.”
Jiang Zhen wanted to ask more, but Xiao Jiu said, “I’m hungry. Let’s eat quickly.”
“Okay, let’s go eat.” Jiang Zhen replied and led the way again, but he still turned back to look at Mu Anan.
Xiao Jiu bent down and asked in a low voice, “Sister An, what’s the situation?”
“I feel like someone is watching us.” Mu Anan said straightforwardly, “It’s just a feeling, but 1 didn’t find anything unusual. Maybe I’m too sensitive.”
This was because they treated Jiang Zhen and Guo Yuehua as enemies.
Not only was this the Jiang family’s territory, but Jiang Zhen and Guo Yuehua were also very enthusiastic. Mu Anan felt that this was a trap.
The person who set up the game was hiding in the dark and controlling the chessboard.
This made Mu Anan a little uneasy.
Mu Anan looked up at Xiao Jiu. “Let’s go in first.”
Xiao Jiu turned around to take a look, then nodded and pushed Mu Anan to the dining room.
Just as the two of them arrived at the restaurant, a man walked out from the second-floor corridor.
The man lowered his head and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. As he was standing in the shadows, he could only see the curve of his face, giving off a sinister and scheming feeling.
In the dining room.
This time, the Jiang family had prepared to invite Mu Anan over for lunch.
The gorgeous round dining table was filled with all kinds of dishes.
The cold and hot dishes were all first-class, and the taste was also strong.
Even Xiao Jiu raised an eyebrow and whispered to Mu Anan, “They’ve put in a lot of effort. They’ve prepared it meticulously. What are they trying to do?”
“Let’s wait and see.” Mu Anan only said these four words and then sat down with Xiao Jiu.
There were no nutritious topics during lunch.
She spent most of her time in Jiang Zhen and Guo Yuehua’s enthusiasm.
The two of them treated Mu Anan like a daughter who had finally returned to her mother’s house after being married for a long time.
At the end of lunch, someone from the Jiang family visited.
Rather than calling her a visit, it was more like she was here to deliver something.
Jiang Zhen had previously mentioned to Mu Anan that ten years ago, Mu Qing had contacted a company and left a parcel in their company. Ten years later, it would be delivered to Mu Anan.
Previously, Mu Anan had refused to accept it without revealing her identity.
Before coming to the Jiang family, Mu Anan had already expected the package to be delivered, and she did not want to wait any longer.
She wanted to know what her mother had left her ten years ago.
This package was her mother’s last gift.
Mu Anan took her ID card and checked the information with the company staff before signing her name and getting the package.
She was sitting in a wheelchair with a package in her arms. Although she still looked calm, she was very careful when she carried the package.
The package was tightly wrapped, but Mu Anan was still worried that the package would be damaged if she used a little force.
“Anan, let me show you the room upstairs. Your mother’s things are stored inside. “Jiang Zhen’s voice was much softer, clearly playing the family card.
Mu Anan nodded and said to Xiao Jiu, “Xiao Jiu, wait for me in the living room.”
Just as Xiao Jiu nodded, Guo Yuehua said, “Xiao Jiu, I’ll take good care of you.
Go up and take a look at Sister Muqing’s things. She sighed and said, “It’s been hard on your child.”
When she heard Guo Yuehua’s words, Mu Anan wanted to say that it was even more difficult for Guo Yuehua to treat her so warmly.
However, Mu Anan did not say anything. She gave up her wheelchair and held onto the handrail of the stairs as she walked upstairs.
As Mu Anan went upstairs, Guo Yuehua invited Xiao Jiu to sit down and eat some snacks.
Madam Guo Yuehua was still nobly pouring the flower tea.
On the other hand, Xiao Jiu was leaning on the sofa in a very casual posture. One hand was in its pocket, and the other was scrolling through its phone.
When Guo Yuehua poured the flower tea for Xiao Jiu, she frowned in disgust. It was obvious that she felt that Xiao Jiu was not presentable.
Xiao Jiu caught this detail.
Xiao Jiu stared at the message on the phone and tilted its head. “Mrs. Jiang, right?”
Guo Yuehua maintained her dignity and smiled.
Xiao Jiu said, “I have a question to ask Mrs. Jiang.”
“You’re too polite, Xiao Jiu. You’re Anan’s friend. You can just say whatever you want.”
“I wanted to ask you about upbringing.” Xiao Jiu said with a sigh.
Guo Yuehua’s expression froze.
Xiao Jiu deliberately said, “I heard that you have a son and a daughter. The son seemed to have taken something and went overseas to hide. The daughter committed a crime and escaped by entering a mental hospital.
I want to ask you how you raised your daughters to be like this. This is the first time I’ve seen a mother like this.”
As Xiao Jiu spoke, it blinked her innocent eyes, looking like a curious baby.
However, the words she mentioned and the questions she asked all hit Guo Yuehua’s sore spot!
