Chapter 14: The Envy of All Eyes
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Chen Hua's question brought Mu Anan back to the present.
She shook her head. "It's nothing. How are you going home?"
"My dad is coming to pick me up. Would you like to join me? I'll ask my dad to give you a lift." Chen Hua looked at the storm and worried for Mu Anan.
Mu Anan shook her head. "It's okay. I have an umbrella with me. Is that your dad? I think he's calling you."
Chen Hua looked up and waved back at her father, who was standing at the security booth by the school gate. Chen Hua's father quickly came over with an umbrella.
"Anan, I'll go first. We'll talk on WeChat later."
Mu Anan waved goodbye to her friend and walked downstairs.
However, not long after Chen Hua left, she turned back quickly holding her phone. "Anan, look!"
Mu Anan did not understand. She took Chen Hua's phone and saw a post on the school forum.
There was no text in the post, only a few photos.
Photos of Mu Anan fighting back against Chen Jiali and her friends by shoving them into toilet bowls.
The photos were uploaded three minutes ago, and the post had already gone viral.
Someone nasty had posted these photos of Chen Jiali and her friends.
In an instant, Chen Jiali, Goddess Jiang Qin's lackey, became the target of ridicule.
"Who, whoever posted this is too cruel." Chen Hua muttered, but at the same time, she was secretly pleased.
Mu Anan, on the other hand, was not bothered at all. Her expression was calm. "Go down quickly. Your father is waiting."
"Oh, okay." Chen Hua snapped back to reality and waved goodbye to Mu Anan.
Mu Anan was indifferent about Chen Jiali being publicly ridiculed.
She took out her phone only after Chen Hua left.
Her chat window with Zong Zhengyu was still on her phone screen.
The last message was from Zong Zhengyu and it read, "I'll be home late."
At the same time, Mu Anan also received news about the heavy storm in A-City and the collapse of a road.
Seventh Master probably wouldn't make it home today.
Mu Anan was a little disappointed.
Just now in the classroom, she had already thought of a way to celebrate the night before her internship, but the rain ruined everything.
Mu Anan let out a sigh, sent a cute bunny emoji to Zong Zhengyu and then walked downstairs.
Mu Anan did not know that a pair of vicious eyes was staring at her.
Chen Jiali walked out of the classroom.
Passers-by who saw her mocked her with their eyes, which intensified the hatred in her eyes. She shouted fiercely at the passing students, "What are you looking at!"
The few of them did not dare to say anything and left one after another.
Chen Jiali muttered through gritted teeth. "Mu Anan, just you wait. I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"
Just as she was saying this, Jiang Qin walked by and glanced at her.
"When are you going to change your habit of all talk no action?"
"Goddess, I..."
"She's just an orphan with no family background. No one cares about what happens to her. And she dared to stir up trouble in school?"
Jiang Qin said impatiently and left.
Jiang Qin's words made Chen Jiali's eyes light up.
The entire medical school knew that Mu Anan was not only ugly but also an orphan.
Her university tuition fees were all paid for using scholarship.
Just as Jiang Qin said, she was an orphan. Who would care if something happened to her?
Chen Jiali laughed wickedly and grabbed one of her friends and said, "Is your brother still a gang member?"
"Yeah."
Chen Jiali whispered in the girl's ear.
Her friend's eyes lit up immediately. "Sister Jiali, don't worry. I'll get my brother to do a beautiful job!"
...
Knowing that Zong Zhengyu probably wouldn't make it home today, Mu Anan didn't want to go back to Yuyuan Estate too early, so went for a drive in the suburbs.
She liked to find a road without cars to race in such weather.
It felt nicer.
When she returned to the villa, the storm had almost ended.
However, the storm continued in A-City.
It was unlikely that Zong Zhengyu would make it home tonight.
Mu Anan was still feeling down when she got out of the car and threw the car keys to the servant. Just as she was about to go into the house, the servant called out, "Miss Anan."
"Yes?"
"Please go to the backyard." The servant continued respectfully, "Seventh Master's instructions earlier today."
Mu Anan was not interested at first, but when she heard the servant's words, she immediately strode towards the backyard.
The backyard of Yuyuan Estate was huge. Water sprayed from the head of the fountain and glistened as it flowed down the fountain.
Her name was glowing on the lawn beside her and there was someone standing there.
Because it was dark on the lawn, Mu Anan could only see the person's silhouette.
The slender man was standing tall and straight with one hand in his pocket.
When he bent down, Mu Anan heard a whoosh and then a spark shot into the sky and exploded into splendid fireworks.
Mu Anan stared at the previously calm sky, which was now dyed red by the fireworks.
The fireworks continued and spelled out two lines of text, "Congratulations on your internship, little princess. Best wishes, Zong Zhengyu."
The gorgeous fireworks took a while to tail off.
But Mu Anan's eyes could not focus on such a spectacular display because there was another scene that fascinated her more.
In her line of sight was a man wearing simple shirt and trousers. He had one hand in his pocket and half a lit cigarette between his lips. His face was cold, and his aura was noble.
The splendid fireworks became his background.
There was nothing in this world that was more beautiful than the man standing in front of her.
"Seventh, Seventh Master." Mu Anan was silent for a long time before she called out.
By then, the man had already walked up to her. He leaned in close and said with a smile, "Happy interning."
Mu Anan looked up at Zong Zhengyu.
Such a surprise was too exhilarating.
"Seventh Master!"
Mu Anan finally jumped up and hugged Zong Zhengyu to express the intense emotions in her heart.
Zong Zhengyu quietly removed the cigarette from his lips.
A servant standing nearby quickly brought an ashtray over to take the cigarette from Zong Zhengyu.
After the hug, Mu Anan couldn't hide the excitement in her voice as she said, "Wasn't there a road collapse in A-City due to the rainstorm?"
Mu Anan still thought that she was imagining things and asked more questions. "When did you come back? How did you come back?"
"An hour ago." Zong Zhengyu answered curtly.
As Mu Anan listened, she could not help but look up at the gorgeous fireworks in the sky. It was still not over.
It was as if he was announcing to the entire city.
The little princess of Yuyuan Estate was going to do her internship.
However, Mu Anan did not know that this wasn't the end of the surprise Seventh Master had arranged for her.
He hadn't only just arranged a long fireworks display in the night sky of Jianglan City, announcing to the whole city that the child of his family was going to be an intern. He had also sent out an important announcement.
Tomorrow morning at 8 a.m., the road leading to the downtown hospital would be closed for an hour.
The entire city would make way for his little princess.
When such an announcement, the entire Jianglan City would once again be envious of the little princess of Yuyuan Estate.
She was the envy of all eyes. People wondered what she had done in her previous lives to cultivate such good fortune that she was spoiled rotten by a high and mighty god in this life!
However, Mu Anan did not know about all this.
More accurately, she didn't want to know.
Right now, her heart and eyes were filled with Seventh Master.
She was over the moon!
Their dinner at Yuyuan Estate was also specially arranged by Seventh Master. Not only were there sashimi, lobsters, and air-flown steaks, but they were all Mu Anan's favorites.
Naturally, to the little princess, these delicacies were nothing compared to having Seventh Master eat with her.
Mu Anan said during dinner, "Seventh Master, you haven't told me how you came back in a storm from A-City."
"By car."
"But the road collapsed."
"Repaired."
Zong Zhengyu cut the steak on his plate and exchanged plates with Mu Anan.
At the same time, he said, "Go to First Affiliated Hospital for your internship tomorrow."
"What?" Mu Anan was a little surprised. "I'm interning at a mental hospital, not First Affiliated."
"I know."
