Chapter 382: The Man She Loves Is Too High

If she did, the Seventh Master would never let Mu Anan go.

The reason why the Seventh Master allowed Mu Anan to go to the Hillside Yard was because he wanted her to relax.

Mu Anan stole a glance at Seventh Master.

Dr. Gu had just said that if she did not act like a demon a few times, she would not have to act so miserably every time.

However, she seemed to be unable to stop acting like a demon.

“What are you laughing at?” Zong Zhengyu stared at Mu Anan.

Mu Anan laughed secretly at being caught and quickly demonstrated. “No, no. Just thinking about my new friend makes me feel that she’s very cute.”

Mu Anan had nothing to do now, so she used Xiao Jiu as a scapegoat.

It was also because every time she mentioned Xiao Jiu, she would use it as a scapegoat because she felt guilty. Therefore, Mu Anan did not notice that when she mentioned Xiao Jiu, a certain someone’s eyebrows would furrow.

He quietly reached out and pinched Mu Anan’s ear, rubbing it. “Call her out tomorrow night.”

Mu Anan was surprised. “What?”

“Let’s meet.” When the man said that, he lowered his eyes. He was very domineering. It was not a negotiation at all. It was an order.

At this moment, Mu Anan could also feel the tone of the Seventh Master. She didn’t even dare to say “I’ll ask her”. She could only nod obediently.

“Yes, have a good rest..”

As soon as the Seventh Master spoke, his phone rang.

When he took it out and saw the caller ID, he frowned.

He picked up the phone and was about to turn around to walk to the French window when Mu Anan heard a powerful roar coming from the phone..

“Zong Zhengyu, listen up. Even if you have to turn Jianglan City upside down, you have to bring that girl back!”

When Mu Anan heard this, the Seventh Master was already walking towards the French windows.

She couldn’t hear what he said after that.

The Seventh Master didn’t respond much. When it was over, he simply replied with two words, “I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, the Seventh Master turned to Mu Anan with a dark expression.

Mu Anan asked, “What’s wrong?”

“The old man is calling.” The Seventh Master turned around and leaned against the desk. He threw his phone aside and said calmly, “His precious granddaughter ran away from home and came to Jianglan City. He asked me to arrest her.”

“Run away from home?” Mu Anan immediately thought of Xiao Jiu. “What’s the reason?”

“The old master arranged a marriage for her. It was supposed to be announced at the family banquet tonight. That girl ran away a few days ago, and Old Master only found out about it.”

When Mu Anan heard this reason, she heaved a sigh of relief.

She thought it was Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu ran away because it couldn’t stand the pressure from its parents.

It seemed like they were not the same person.

Mu Anan was also laughing at herself in her heart. How could there be such a coincidence?

She had met a new friend who had run away from home to come to her side. In the end, it was Seventh Master’s younger sister.

How could there be so many coincidences?

Mu Anan simply said, “That might be because the young lady doesn’t like it. Young ladies have their ideas and standards for choosing a partner.”

“That’s an ordinary person. Is she an ordinary person?” The seventh master asked directly.

Mu Anan was stunned.

Zong Zhengyu stared ahead and said, “In a clan like the Zong Zheng Clan, there is no freedom to speak of from the very beginning. There is only one standard for choosing a spouse.”

“What?” Mu Anan blurted out, her heart racing.

Zong Zhengyu tilted his head and stared at her. “Is it beneficial to the family?”

“Are you like this too?” Mu Anan asked nervously.

Would it benefit the family?

Mu Anan thought of her identity.

Even if she returned to the Jiang family, she would still be the daughter of a small pharmaceutical company in a small city.

Compared to the large and wealthy Zong Zheng Clan, they were like ants.

“I used to be.” Zong Zhengyu only gave these four words.

Mu Anan didn’t understand and wanted to ask more questions, but the Seventh Master had already picked her up from the chair and brought her to the bed.

“It’s getting late. Have a good sleep.”

The seventh master placed Mu Anan on the bed, took off her coat, and covered her with a blanket. “Bring your friend with you tomorrow night. I’ll take you to a place.”

Although Mu Anan was still thinking about that topic, she nodded obediently. “Okay.”

“Good night, kid.”

“Good night, Seventh Master.”

After Mu Anan finished speaking softly, Zong Zhengyu turned off the lights in the room, leaving only a warm lamp.

Then, he left and gently closed the door.

When the door closed, Mu Anan opened her eyes. She turned on the warm light and looked at the ceiling, thinking about what the Seventh Master had just said.

A clan like the Zong Zheng Clan..

They needed benefits and a matching social status.

What about her?

How much effort did she have to put in to reach the level of a match and catch up to Zong Zhengyu’s status?

Thinking about this, Mu Anan felt a little helpless.

The status of the man she loved was too high.

And she still needed to work hard for a long time and might not be able to catch up.

However!

She would never give up or feel inferior!

Mu Anan gripped the blanket tightly. She was determined that one day, she would be able to catch up to the Seventh Master and become his woman!

She would work hard for this goal.

It was just like when Grandpa and Mom started. Grandpa was just an ordinary medical professor, and Mom was just an outstanding graduate student.

However, they were able to build the Mu pharmaceutical group step by step.

In that case, she could also create the future she wanted.

As long as she worked hard enough, she would succeed!

There were too many mysteries, too many metaphysics, and too many miracles in this world.

Mu Anan believed that she would be a miracle maker!

The next day.

The first thing Mu Anan did when she opened her eyes was to take her phone from the bedside table.

There were only a few messages from Xiao Jiu on the phone.

“Sister An, are you awake?”

“Sister An, don’t forget your little cutie, Xiao Jiu.”

Xiao Jiu, “Sister An, your Xiao Jiu is thinking of you.”

Mu Anan couldn’t help but laugh when she saw a few messages.

Mu Anan said, “Your Sister An has woken up. She’ll come over to have lunch with you.”

Xiao Jiu was speechless. Alright, Xiao Jiu will wait for you!

“Xiao Jiu will wait for you. I will wait for you!”

Xiao Jiu: Sister An, one day apart feels like three years. Xiao Jiu will wait for you with longing!

Mu Anan had sent a message, but Xiao Jiu had sent countless messages. She smiled helplessly and replied with an emoji. Then, she got out of bed and went to wash up with her walking stick.

During breakfast, Mu Anan found out that the Seventh Master had gone to the office early in the morning.

There has been a lot of work at the company recently. It seemed that there was a problem with one of the projects, so Seventh Master was quite busy.

Mu Anan felt that something was missing in the Yuyuan Estate without the Seventh Master.

In the past, when the Seventh Master wasn’t around, she would go to the boxing room to practice.

Now that her leg was injured, she couldn’t practice boxing, so after breakfast, she asked the driver to send her to Xiao Jiu.

She would accompany that child.

Otherwise, she would go crazy.

What Mu Anan didn’t expect was that when she arrived at the villa hall that was arranged for Xiao Jiu, she saw the person sitting on the sofa at a glance.

It was not Xiao Jiu.

Instead...
