Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Tsk, Anan, you’re hurt. You have to take care of yourself. Look at you. Your face is pale. My heart aches for you.’1 As Guo Yuehua spoke, she reached out to wipe the sweat off Mu Anan’s forehead.
The look on her face as if Mu Anan was her daughter almost made Mu Anan recoil.
Mu Anan avoided Guo Yuehua’s touch.
The driver had already handed over her crutches.
Since it was not convenient to use a wheelchair in Hillside Yard, Mu Anan asked him not to bring it along.
Moreover, she was almost fully recovered now, and her mobility was not as bad as it was at the beginning.
“This is Anan, right?”
Just as Mu Anan stood up with her crutches, Mu Caijie sat down and said.
His voice was warm and pleasant to the ears.
Mu Anan looked at him and greeted him politely, “Uncle.”
Mu Caijie laughed on the spot, “Speaking of which, we’ve also been separated for eight years. I still remember that you were beautiful when you were young. Now that you’ve grown up, your facial features are fully developed. You’re really like a fairy.”
Mu Anan’s expression was indifferent.
Jiang Zhen echoed, “Yeah, she was a little princess when she was young. When she grew up, she was still a little princess. She was even doted on by the most powerful master in Jianglan City.”
Jiang Zhen’s tone was filled with pride.
Guo Yuehua was not very happy, but she still maintained her smile.
Mu Anan didn’t respond. She just looked around, intentionally or unintentionally.
There was no one else in the neighborhood except for them and the driver, Mu Caijie, and a few staff from Hillside Yard.
Mu Anan was mainly looking for someone.
She was looking for the person that Jiang Zhen said he wanted to introduce her to.
However, it was obvious that this person had yet to appear.
“Sister An, I’m tired.” Xiao Jiu said as it stood beside Mu Anan.
As soon as Xiao Jiu finished speaking, Mu Caijie immediately said, “This is my fault. I was so happy to see Anan that I forgot to entertain you. Your rooms have all been arranged, come in.”
Mu Caijie took the initiative to speak. Then, he called Jiang Zhen, Guo Yuehua, and the others into Hillside Yard.
At the same time, he said, “It’s getting late. We’ve prepared a bonfire party at the back of the mountain to play with the Tujia people, so you guys should rest first. I’ll get someone to send you some food first. You can have fun tonight.”
As Mu Caijie said, he arranged their rooms.
Jiang Zhen and Guo Yuehua shared a room. Mu Anan and Xiao Jiu were in the room opposite Jiang Zhen and Guo Yuehua. Huo Xian was alone in the room.
As Mu Anan watched Jiang Zhen and Guo Yuehua enter the room, she suddenly asked, “Is there no one else?”
Jiang Zhen was stunned. Before he could react, Guo Yuehua said, “I have a friend, but I think he won’t be here until tomorrow.”
Guo Yuehua had a smile on her face, while Mu Anan was expressionless.
She came to Hillside Yard because Jiang Zhen said he would introduce her to someone.
She suspected that the person who introduced him was probably the person who had been pretending to be Seventh Master.
However, Mu Anan observed for a long time and did not see any trace of this person.
She didn’t even feel like he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.
After Guo Yuehua finished speaking, Jiang Zhen immediately said, “Ah, yes. Anan, I was just about to introduce you to a special person, but I guess you’ll have to wait until tomorrow night.”
Mu Anan remained silent.
Mu Caijie smiled and said, “Why do I feel like my niece is going on a blind date?”
Mu Caijie spoke in an intimate tone. He reached out to rub Mu Anan’s head, but she avoided him.
Mu Caijie didn’t say anything and continued to say in an intimate tone, “Our Anan has grown up. It’s time for her to get married. If Sister Qjng is still alive…”
Mu Caijie didn’t finish his sentence, but he felt a little sad.
However, Mu Anan didn’t respond. Instead, she said politely, “I’m going in to rest.”
“Okay, go ahead.” Mu Caijie replied.
Mu Anan nodded and pulled Xiao Jiu into the room.
The door of Hillside Yard was also a retro wooden door.
Mu Anan brought Xiao Jiu into the room. When she closed the door, she could still see Mu Caijie standing at the door and looking at her.
Mu Anan’s face was expressionless at first, but when the door was completely closed, her face darkened.
Xiao Jiu was very surprised by this place. She looked around and didn’t notice anything strange about Mu Anan.
Mu Anan turned around and sat on the chair, thinking about Mu Caijie.
After playing for a while, Xiao Jiu took out her phone and added Song Ting back.
Although he had unfriended her without hesitation, he had also added her without hesitation.
Xiao Jiu sent an emoji over. But he ignored her.
Xiao Jiu: We’re at Hillside Yard. It’s completely in the style of a courtyard house. It’s super fun!”
After sending the message, Xiao Jiu took some photos for Song Ting.
Tingting: Ok.
“Tingting, I’ve always wanted to ask you a question.”
Tingting: ?
Xiao Jiu: Look at you. You always unfriend me and add me back later. Aren’t you tired?
After sending this message, there was no response for two minutes.
Xiao Jiu sent a question mark over, but she received a familiar response.
[Your message is rejected by the user.]
Xiao Jiu was speechless.
[Your message is rejected by the user.]
Xiao Jiu: ??? What was going on?
[Your message is rejected by the user.]
“Song Ting, you basta*d!”
Tingting: No.
Xiao Jiu: ???
“Sister An, Song Ting is bullying me again!” Xiao Jiu cried out and began to complain.
However, she did not receive any response from Mu Anan.
She turned around and saw Mu Anan sitting on the chair beside her in a daze.
Xiao Jiu walked over and put her face in front of Mu Anan.
Mu Anan pushed her away, “I’m thinking about something.”
Mu Anan was not completely in a daze. She knew that Xiao Jiu was making a scene beside her, but she did not have the time to pay attention to her.
“Sister An, what are you thinking about?” Xiao Jiu asked.
Mu Anan replied after a while, “I was wondering what situations would change a person’s personality?”
“What do you mean?” Xiao Jiu didn’t understand.
Mu Anan’s gaze shifted to Xiao Jiu, “Someone who hated you very much, lost his temper at every turn, and hit you at the slightest disagreement could change…”
Mu Anan thought for a moment and finally found a word, “He suddenly seems very mature, like an elder.”
Xiao Jiu looked troubled when Mu Anan asked this question. She scratched her head and said, “Sister An, I don’t understand. What are you talking about? What do you mean by beating you frequently? What do you mean by acting like an elder?”
Xiao Jiu didn’t understand at all.
Mu Anan was silent. She shifted her gaze away from Xiao Jiu and continued to think about her matters.
She was thinking about Mu Caijie.
In Mu Anan’s memory, Mu Caijie is a very capricious brother-in-law. Mom adored him, but he was a real grumpy uncle.
He would throw a chair at the slightest disagreement and start shouting after a few sentences.
Mu Caijie hated Mu Anan very much because she would scold him. He often called her ugly.
In the past, when Mu (ling was not at home, Mu Anan and Mu Caijie would either fight or quarrel. However, Mu Caijie’s voice was so loud that Mu Anan couldn’t argue with him. She would cry every time and then call her mother to complain.
As a result, Mu Caijie hated Mu Anan even more.
Mu Caijie was like that in the past, but now, he looked fresh and easygoing. He had a good temper and seemed to be very close to Mu Anan. It was as if he had always doted on Mu Anan’s elder. Mu Anan felt that he was fake.
Or he’s posturing with an agenda.
Or this Mu Caijie was…. the fake one!
