Mu Anan’s heart was in turmoil, but she suppressed the emotions stuck in her heart.
She gripped the lunchbox tighter and tighter.
She had been holding it in and controlling herself.
She was worried that she would rush up in the next second and strangle Jiang Zhen to death!
Jiang Zhen obviously did not sense Mu Anan’s turbulent emotions.
He was still in character, telling what he thought was a touching story.
“It wasn’t easy for me to rise from a poor boy and become an ace in medical research. Our daughter was also growing up healthily. Our family, which should have been happy, encountered a huge change eight years ago.”
As he spoke, Jiang Zhen lowered his head and made a gesture of wiping his tears.
Mu Anan didn’t look at him, but she was calm. Jiang Zhen was really crying.
After all, as a ‘professional actor,’ he would not be able to establish the image of a loving husband or a loving father without tears.
Mu Anan played along, “I think I’ve heard of it before. It seems that something bad happened to the Mu family eight years ago?”
Jiang Zhen nodded, “Eight years ago, a man named Chen Ke led a group of people into my house to murder. My wife and father-in-law both…both…”
Towards the end of his sentence, Jiang Zhen was completely choked up. He leaned forward, covered his face, and cried out loud.
Mu Anan’s expression relaxed a little because of Jiang Zhen’s behavior. Her gaze was filled with the desire to strangle Jiang Zhen to death!
No!
Strangling him to death would be too easy on him.
She wanted to let that scumbag experience how painful it was to be stabbed multiple times by a knife!
She wanted to let that scumbag know that her mother and grandfather’s cries back then were filled with despair!
Mu Anan’s eyes were red, and her emotions exploded.
However, when Jiang Zhen straightened his body, she suppressed her emotions again.
“I’m sorry.” Jiang Zhen said, “Whenever I think about what happened eight years ago, I can’t control myself.”
Mu Anan said, “It’s alright. I didn’t feel good hearing it too.”
Jiang Zhen used his sleeve to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Mu Anan asked, “Have you caught the murderer?”
“He was caught a while back. He had plastic surgery, changed his name, and escaped for eight years.” Jiang Zhen said, “However, though the murderer was caught, my wife and daughter couldn’t return. My daughter was also missing for eight years.”
“Missing?” Mu Anan asked deliberately.
“Yes.” Jiang Zhen nodded, “After the murder, we only found my father-in-law and wife’s bodies. However, my daughter has gone missing. We haven’t found her yet.”
“Uncle Jiang, I’m sorry for your loss. Your daughter won’t be happy to see you so sad in heaven.”
“My daughter is not dead!”
Jiang Zhen suddenly refuted Mu Anan’s words agitatedly, “My daughter is only missing. She’s not dead!”
“I’m sorry.” Mu Anan said.
She said that on purpose.
At that point, Mu Anan was basically certain that Jiang Zhen had come to put on a show in front of her to test her.
To test whether she was the Mu Anan from back then.
With Jiang Zhen’s beastly nature, he definitely did not look for his daughter for family ties. There must be benefits involved.
However, Mu Anan did not know what she was involved in.
Jiang Zhen wanted to test her, but Mu Anan was now trying to dig out information from Jiang Zhen.
Mu Anan deliberately asked, “Uncle Jiang, it must have been hard for you to get over that accident eight years ago, right?”
“I had no time to grieve for my wife and missing daughter.”
“What do you mean?”
“After my wife and father-in-law passed away, the Mu Group…” Jiang Zhen paused momentarily and explained, “The Jiang Group used to be the Mu Group.”
Mu Anan nodded to express her understanding.
She did not expect Jiang Zhen to say that the Jiang Group was the Mu Group so naturally.
At the same time, Mu Anan also wanted to see how that scumbag would continue to make up stories.
How was he going to establish himself as a loving husband and a loving father?
“My wife and father-in-law were both famous researchers in the medical field.” Jiang Zhen said, “However, many people have ulterior motives in the Mu Group. As soon as the incident with my wife and father-in-law broke out, the Mu Group management began to fight for power.”
“To those people, I was just an outsider. They wanted to kick me out of the Mu Group. But Miss Anan, that was the hard work of my wife and father-in-law. They were already gone. How could I let the Mu Group be destroyed?”
“Yes.” Mu Anan replied.
Naturally, you couldn’t bear to let the Mu Group be destroyed.
Because once the Mu Group was destroyed, all your years of scheming and murder would go to waste.
Then, you bunch of scumbags wouldn’t be able to enter the circle of wealthy families in Jianglan City.
Jiang Zhen continued, “During that time, 1 had to deal with my wife and father-in-law’s case while fighting for power with the people from the Mu Group. To be honest, Miss Anan…That was a really difficult period.”
“It was hard on you.”
During that period, he had to suppress his ambitions.
Jiang Zhen replied, “However, 1 was also lucky. Just when 1 thought I couldn’t hold on any longer, 1 received Seventh Master’s help.”
Mu Anan’s calm face was a little distorted.
Jiang Zhen glanced at Mu Anan, obviously getting to the point, “Miss Anan, it was Seventh Master’s power that supported me during that time. He lent me money and talent. It was also because I had Seventh Master’s help behind me that those people with ulterior motives in the Mu Group had their reservations.”
“Later, to protect the Mu Group, 1 had no choice but to change its name to the Jiang Group and make those people completely give up on the Mu Group.”
Mu Anan looked away and took a deep breath to suppress her emotions.
She had heard such words many times before.
Whether on the cruise ship, from Jiang Qin, or Jiang Zhen, everyone was saying that the Seventh Master was the person behind the Jiang family.
When Mu Anan was sitting in the same seat as Jiang Zhen, she was already certain that Jiang Zhen would definitely mention Seventh Master.
She had already mentally prepared herself.
She was already telling herself that she believed in Seventh Master and only Seventh Master!
The tragedy of her mother and father-in-law had nothing to do with Seventh Master.
It was useless no matter what Jiang Zhen said!
“I didn’t know about that.” Mu Anan said, suppressing her emotions, “I don’t ask much about Seventh Master’s matters.”
“Miss Anan.” Jiang Zhen said, “Did you know? Seventh Master’s help was sudden. 1 don’t know why Seventh Master would help a small figure like me.” “But over the years, thanks to Seventh Master, the Jiang Medical Group has indeed returned on track step by step. It has even surpassed the Mu Group and become the number one company in Jianglan City.”
Mu Anan did not respond.
At that time, she should politely reply that that was due to the Jiang family’s ability.
But Mu Anan was really speechless.
She had been tense the whole time, worried that she would go crazy if she opened her mouth.
Jiang Zhen said, “I couldn’t figure it out before and didn’t dare to ask. It was not until the news of the mental hospital broke out that 1 saw Miss Anan and learned that you had the same name as my poor daughter, who had been missing for eight years.”
Right then, Jiang Zhen stared at Mu Anan and said, “I’m wondering if Seventh Master helped me because my daughter is by his side.. Did he help me because of my daughter?”
