Chapter 19: I Hope You’ll Never Have Another Relapse

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

Chen Hua and Chen Jiali were not only classmates but also cousins.

Chen Hua’s grandfather had two children. His eldest son is Chen Jiali’s father, who ran a pharmaceutical company. He was a rather successful businessman in Jianglan City. Also, with Chen Jiali’s successful kissing up to Jiang Qin, their family business benefited from various cooperations.

Chen Hua’s family, on the hand, had an honest, salaried father and a stay-at-home mother.

Chen Hua’s grandfather naturally doted on his eldest son who had a successful career. Chen Hua’s family relied on Chen Jiali’s family for many things, so they couldn’t really live with dignity.

In the eyes of Chen Hua’s parents, Chen Jiali had good grades and was beautiful while Chen Hua had average grades and was fat. So, they often scolded Chen Hua and asked her to learn from Chen Jiali.

Chen Jiali went to Chen Hua’s house tonight to find her. She said that she was going to a gathering and asked Chen Hua if she wanted to come along. Chen Hua didn’t want to go, but her parents scolded her, saying that if she was incapable, she should hang out more with her capable cousin and so on. Chen Hua couldn’t stand her parents’ criticism and followed Chen Jiali out.

Who would have thought that when they arrived at the bar, she would see Chen Jiali hang out with Brother Wolf and his gang, who forced her to drink. After a few drinks, she became inexplicably high.

She still knew what she was doing but she couldn’t control herself.

After Chen Hua finished telling her story, her body began to shake again, and she cried, “Anan, thank goodness I have you.”

When Chen Hua heard Mu Anan say that she hadn’t been violated, she felt as if she had survived a disaster.

Mu Anan’s face darkened after she heard Chen Hua’s account.

She was suspicious before, but now she was certain.

Chen Jiali had used Chen Hua to take revenge on her.

How despicable!

Mu Anan said, “Huahua, this happened because of me. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely do right by you.”

“Because of you?” Chen Hua was puzzled.

“I taught Chen Jiali a lesson in the washroom today, so she wanted to take revenge on me.”

“Those photos on the forum… You were the one who messed with Chen Jiali?” Chen Hua was very shocked.

She had known Mu Anan for years and had always thought that she was a quiet top student.

However, on second thought, Chen Hua felt that something was amiss. “That was just a conflict in school. How did it escalate to the outside world? And they found someone to…”

Chen Hua could not continue.

Mu Anan understood and appreciated Chen Hua’s disbelief.

After her family broke apart and years of living with Zong Zhengyu, she saw a lot of the world. She understood that the evil in this world had nothing to do with age.

Just because someone was young didn’t mean that they were less cruel.

The younger they were, the more vicious they were.

“Don’t worry, I will make Chen Jiali pay for what she did!”

When Mu Anan said this, a vicious look flashed across her eyes.

However, it was only a flash.

Chen Hua was a little stunned.

“You should have a good rest and I should go home. Don’t worry, I didn’t tell your parents. If you want to tell them, you can call them now. I can wait for your parents to arrive before I leave.” Mu Anan adjusted her mask she finished speaking.

“No, I can’t tell my parents about this.” Chen Hua blurted out.

Mu Anan didn’t say more. “Then rest. I’ll help you apply for leave for your internship tomorrow?”

“No, no need.” Chen Hua quickly shook her head. “I can start tomorrow.”

Mu Anan did not say more.

After all, the doctor had already said that Chen Hua only needed to rest for one night.

Mu Anan said goodbye to Chen Hua and prepared to leave.

When she was about to exit the ward, Chen Hua suddenly shouted, “Anan.”

Mu Anan turned around. “Yes?”

“Are you really going to make Chen Jiali pay?”

Mu Anan’s lips immediately curled into a cold smile. “I wanted to keep a low profile and study, but this person insisted on courting death. Then, I’ll send her to the afterlife!”

Her words were domineering and showed no mercy.

The people Zong Zhengyu trained would never know what it meant to let people go.

Mu Anan did not say anything more. She opened the door and left the ward.

Chen Hua sat on the hospital bed in a daze.

Mu Anan’s words were still ringing in her head. Chen Hua felt like she had just met a queen.

However, in Chen Hua’s years of friendship with Mu Anan, she always knew Mu Anan as a quiet, unattractive girl. When she was bullied, she basically did not speak much. She just let things slide like water off a duck’s back and focused on her studies.

However, at that moment, Chen Hua suddenly felt that she did not know Mu Anan at all.

It was already very late when Mu Anan left the hospital.

Jianglan City was a coastal city with drastic temperature changes.

As soon as Mu Anan stepped out of the hospital, a gust of cold wind blew, causing her to shiver.

However, in the next second, Mu Anan felt a shadow and a familiar scent up her nose.

Mu Anan turned her head and was surprised to see the man standing beside her. “Seventh Master, you haven’t gone home?”

Zong Zhengyu gave his coat to Mu Anan. He was only wearing a white shirt with his tie loose and his hands in his pockets.

He had a cigarette in his mouth, but when he faced Mu Anan, he put it out and let out a grunt.

“Done?” Zong Zhengyu asked.

Mu Anan nodded, and then shook her head.

Zong Zhengyu raised his eyebrows. “Huh?”

“Seventh Master, can I make a request?”

“Tell me.”

“I want to settle tonight’s grudge myself.” Mu Anan was very direct.

As smart as she was, she knew that Zong Zhengyu would not let Chen Jiali off the moment she saw the bodyguards of Yuyuan Estate enter King Bar.

Mu Anan had always believed in settling her own score.

Just like what Zong Zhengyu had taught her back then. If she had been wronged, she would use her fists to reclaim her dignity.

“Can I, Seventh Master?” Mu Anan asked again.

Zong Zhengyu eyes were lowered. Although he didn’t say anything, he gave a slight nod, which was a tacit agreement.

Mu Anan heaved a sigh of relief.

She was worried that Zong Zhengyu would not agree.

Zong Zhengyu reached out and removed Mu Anan’s cap, stroking her soft long hair. “Tired?”

Mu Anan shook her head and was about to speak when she looked up and met Zong Zhengyu’s eyes.

Zong Zhengyu’s eyes were very beautiful, almond-shaped with long and deep ends.

For some reason, whenever Mu Anan’s eyes met Zong Zhengyu’s, she always felt that there was something hidden in his eyes.

He was looking at her.

But Mu Anan felt as if he was looking through her.

Mu Anan couldn’t figure it out, so she decided not to think about it.

“I’m quite tired.” she said deliberately.

“Then let’s go home.”

Zong Zhengyu strode forward.

After taking two steps, he realized that Mu Anan was not following him.

When he turned his head, Mu Anan was still standing there.

Zong Zhengyu raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”

Mu Anan smiled mischievously. “Seventh Master, I can’t walk anymore. I need you to piggy-back me.”

Her shameless look made Zong Zhengyu feel helpless.

Although Zong Zhengyu looked helpless, he still walked back to Mu Anan and squatted.

Mu Anan spread herself on Zong Zhengyu’s back and pressed her face against his broad shoulders, feeling especially at ease.

“Seventh Master.”

“Hmm?”

“Have your migraines been acting up lately?”

“No.”

“I hope you will never have another relapse.”
