Jiang Zhen stared at Mu Anan with reddened eyes when he said the last sentence.
Once Mu Anan nodded and called him ‘Dad,’ Jiang Zhen would immediately hug Mu Anan and cry bitterly, putting on a show of family reunion.
However, Mu Anan said, “Uncle Jiang, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not your daughter, Mu Anan.”
Jiang Zhen didn’t say anything.
Mu Anan said, “I grew up in an orphanage. Previously, I was sold to a brothel and accidentally bumped into Seventh Master, so 1 was saved.”
Everything that Mu Anan said could be found out.
From the moment they were in Yuyuan Estate, Seventh Master had Mu Anan follow that story and not mention the Mu family’s murder case.
After Jiang Zhen heard Mu Anan’s story, his eyes were filled with disappointment, “Really?”
“Uncle Jiang, I’m sorry, but I’m not.” Mu Anan said, “But I believe that no matter if your daughter is dead or alive, she will feel happy to have a father like you.”
Mu Anan had already stood up.
“Uncle Jiang, I wish you the best of luck in finding your daughter. I’ve been away for too long and have to go back.”
Mu Anan said politely.
Jiang Zhen stood up as well. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say when he opened his mouth.
Mu Anan nodded and turned to walk to the other side of the corridor.
Only the soft sound of Mu Anan’s feet stepping on the tiled floor could be heard in the long corridor.
Mu Anan walked along the corridor calmly.
She turned and walked toward the bathroom.
After entering, she checked the cubicles one by one.
After ensuring no one was around, Mu Anan locked the toilet door.
The calm expression on her face completely collapsed the moment the door was locked.
She leaned against the door and breathed heavily.
The lunchbox in her hand had already exploded under her grip. The rice grains and vegetables had all come out and stained Mu Anan’s hand.
But she didn’t seem to feel it at all!
“Sc*m!”
Suddenly, Mu Anan threw the lunchbox in her hand, turned around, and punched the mirror in the bathroom!
Cracks immediately appeared on the mirror, scratching Mu Anan’s skin.
The cracks were stained with scarlet blood, reflecting Mu Anan’s red eyes that were filled with hatred.
The entire scene was intense and terrifying.
Mu Anan stared at herself in the mirror. Her chest was heaving up and down because of her overly intense breathing.
Jiang Zhen’s words kept echoing in her mind.
He was an ultimate hypocrite.
He had put up such a loving act. Lost his wife? Finding his daughter?
Did he want to find her and kill her?
He had dominated the entire Mu Group and enjoyed the empire that her mother and grandfather had built. And then, he came and pretended to be pitiful and affectionate.
Wasn’t he disgusting?!
Mu Anan exploded with emotions.
She raised her fist and was about to punch the mirror a second time!
However, Mu Anan stopped when she saw her disheveled and angry self in the mirror.
She closed her eyes abruptly and began to regulate her breathing.
“I can’t do that. I need to be rational.”
“I must be rational!”
“I can only get back at Jiang Zhen and his family when I’m rational.”
“Revenge can only be taken with rationality!”
Mu Anan said it over and over again to adjust her emotions.
When she opened her eyes again, the anger, madness, and other emotions that shouldn’t have been in her eyes slowly faded.
She stared at herself calmly.
Jiang Zhen had been a hypocrite for so many years and had occupied everything in the Mu family for so many years. The best way to take revenge on that person was to make him lose everything.
To tear off his hypocritical mask and let the entire Jianglan City know how disgusting that man was!
What kind of heartless thing he had done!
Mu Anan stared at herself in the mirror, turned on the tap, and washed the wound on the back of her hand.
Then, she took off her glasses and washed her face.
The cold feeling on Mu Anan’s skin made her calm down.
On the other side.
Although Mu Anan had left the corridor, Jiang Zhen had not left.
After saying so much to her, he sat in his seat and pondered over Mu Anan’s emotional reaction.
All Jiang Zhen could see was that Mu Anan was very calm.
Even when he mentioned that his daughter had the same name as her, Mu Anan’s emotions remained unchanged.
Jiang Zhen couldn’t help but ponder.
“Could it be that I’ve overthinked? Do they really only have the same name?” Jiang Zhen muttered.
“Dad!”
Jiang Qin’s shout pulled Jiang Zhen back to reality.
When Jiang Zhen turned around, he saw Jiang Qin walking over angrily, “Dad, did you come to find Mu Anan?”
Jiang Qin’s words were a rebuke.
Jiang Zhen frowned. Before he could speak, Jiang Qin said, “Didn’t I tell you before? That Mu Anan is definitely not the Mu family’s Mu Anan! Even if she did not die, she would never have such a good life.”
Jiang Qin was furious, so she didn’t control her attitude when speaking.
Jiang Qin’s mental state had been in a mess since she was thrown into the wilderness by Zong Qi the previous day. Plus, she was suppressed by that ugly woman earlier that day.
She could no longer accept that the Mu Anan from the Mu family was the current Mu Anan.
After all the twists and turns, she was a princess again.
Why?
Jiang Zhen sighed when he saw his daughter’s resentful expression.
He patted Jiang Qin’s shoulder and coaxed her patiently, “My dear daughter, we must verify it no matter what. Didn’t your mother say it yesterday? Even if this Mu Anan is the Mu Anan of the past, you are the only eldest young lady of the Jiang family, my darling.”
Jiang Qin’s expression was not good.
Jiang Zhen continued to coax her, “Your mother told you yesterday that our company has been facing some problems recently. Back then, Mu Qing left an experimental proposal with Mu Anan. We can only save our company by finding Mu Anan.”
“Don’t we have Seventh Master behind us? If Seventh Master is so powerful, why don’t we ask Seventh Master for help?”
“Xiao Qin, the reason Seventh Master helped us back then was because he wanted that project. Without that project, Seventh Master would not have helped.”
Jiang Zhen’s heart ached for his daughter, and he tried his best to comfort and persuade her.
“Xiao Qin, think about it. Once we’ve gotten what Mu Qing gave Mu Anan back then and when we reach an agreement with Seventh Master, won’t we have more contact with him? When the time comes, I’ll arrange for you to come into contact with Seventh Master.”
Jiang Zhen admired Jiang Qin’s pretty face and caressed it, “Our Xiao Qin is so pretty. There will be no place for that little princess by then. Our Xiao Qin is the real mistress of the Yuyuan Estate!”
When Jiang Zhen said that, his expression was rather proud.
Jiang Qin, who had a foul look, felt comforted.
“Come, send your father to the entrance.” Jiang Zhen said, “I’m going to tell you something. You have to get close to Mu Anan, no matter what. Mu Anan of the Mu family has a birthmark on her lower back. You just have to look for that birthmark.”
Jiang Zhen said to Jiang Qin as he walked toward the door.
He did not notice.
Mu Anan was standing against the wall at the corner of the corridor.
She had heard half of what he had just said..
