Mu Anan looked coldly at the arrogant Tang Mi.
She looked calm on the surface, but her heart was not.
Mu Anan knew that the real cause of Seventh Master’s headache was post-traumatic stress disorder.
She also knew that there was a past hidden behind this.
However, this past was a forbidden area of Seventh Master.
Dr. Gu, who was the only one who knew about it, did not mention it either.
Mu Anan had only deduced that Gu Shuqing had something to do with that incident from the conversation between the people of Phecda.
That was the incident that caused Seventh Master to stay in Jianglan City for a long time, and Gu Shuqing to stay in the Yuyuan Estate as an unknown useless doctor.
However, compared to Zong Zhengyu, Gu Shuqing had thrown away everything in Liuli City.
She really wanted to know.
Mu Anan looked downward and her eyes flashed with slyness.
After a few seconds, Mu Anan looked up at Tang Mi with a smile on her face.
Tang Mi stared at this smile and her expression changed slightly.
Tang Mi couldn’t understand Mu Anan’s smile.
“What are you laughing at?” asked Tang Mi.
“I’m laughing at you,” said Mu Anan casually, “Isn’t it just that matter? You sounded like it’s a taboo.”
Mu Anan said as she carefully hid the hair clip in her hand.
Her palms were sweating.
This was a gift from Seventh Master. From the cumbersome workmanship, it was obvious that he had put in a lot of effort.
Mu Anan would go crazy if she dirtied or ruined it.
“Isn’t it just that matter?” Tang Mi was obviously shocked. “Do you think that’s a small matter?”
“It’s just a small matter,” said Mu Anan with certainty.
She turned her eyes and added on purpose, “1 guess only people like you would use this as a bargaining chip for your pride.”
Mu Anan sat down on the sofa.
She was very casual and indifferent.
This was all an act, mainly to test Tang Mi’s knowledge of this matter.
Mu Anan said deliberately, “Gu Shuqing told me too. He said that he had already let go.”
“Let go?”
Tang Mi seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world and blurted out, “How could he let go? Do you know who the person who died was…”
Mu Anan’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and her entire body tensed up as she waited for Tang Mi to continue.
However, Tang Mi suddenly shut up at the most critical moment.
She looked at Mu Anan suspiciously.
“Mu Anan, are you testing me? Are you deliberately provoking me and trying to get some information from me?”
Mu Anan’s expression froze.
This woman was indeed not a silly girl.
She was very clever.
However, even though she had been seen through, Mu Anan still looked at Tang Mi with a very relaxed attitude.
“What is there to probe?”
Tang Mi laughed. “Keep pretending. 1 can tell you that whether it’s Seventh Master or Gu Shuqing, they won’t say a word about that matter.”
“Are you trying to fool me?” Mu Anan looked straight at Tang Mi. “To be honest, you don’t know what happened, do you?”
“What are you talking about?” Tang Mi’s expression changed instantly.
Mu Anan had only wanted to test it out a little, but she was a little certain now after catching the details of Tang Mi’s change of expression.
Tang Mi didn’t know much about what happened ten years ago.
“You don’t know much about that matter,” said Mu Anan bluntly, “At most, it’s just a one-sided understanding. And you thought that you know Zong Zhengyu and this circle.”
“Mu Anan!” Tang Mi was a little angry. “If I don’t understand this circle, do you?”
“I don’t need to know,” said Mu Anan.
She was now certain that Tang Mi could not provide any useful information.
What she knew was probably the rumors in the circle of Liuli City’s wealthy families, and they weren’t necessarily very credible.
Mu Anan instantly felt disappointed.
She wanted to stand up and leave, but Tang Mi rushed over and held Mu Anan’s shoulder.
Mu Anan raised her eyebrows in surprise and stared at the woman who was suddenly agitated.
This woman was a sexy socialite.
No matter how they fight, she would still maintain basic dignity.
She would not be too agitated.
But now that she was pressing on Mu Anan’s shoulder, she was really agitated.
Mu Anan was in pain.
“Let me go,” Mu Anan frowned and warned.
Tang Mi did not let go. Instead, she stared at Mu Anan. “1 hated you the moment I saw you.”
“I don’t like you either,” Mu Anan retorted, “I’ll say it again. Take your hands off my shoulders, or I’ll cripple you.”
Tang Mi ignored Mu Anan’s words and continued, “1 hate your pride the most. I’ve investigated you. You’re the daughter of a pharmaceutical company in Jianglan City. You were nothing after your mother died. If not for Seventh Master, you would at most be a little beggar on the street!”
Without Seventh Master, she would not even be alive.
Mu Anan knew this very well.
“But you don’t know what’s good for you. Arranging you to stay in Jianglan City is already the greatest tolerance I can give you. Yet you have delusions of entering Liuli City. Mu Anan, I’ll let you know today how much the difference between you and me, this circle, and Seventh Master.”
With that, Tang Mi let go of Mu Anan.
She stood up straight with the pride of a socialite and a sense of superiority.
“you have no other means to pressure me other than using your identity, right?” Mu Anan was very disdainful.
Tang Mi smiled and lowered her head to tidy her hair. “You think today is just a masquerade party, a party to matchmake me and Seventh Master, right?”
Mu Anan frowned. “What do you mean?”
“What I mean is, you will no longer be qualified to stay by Zong Zhengyu’s side after today.”
After Tang Mi said this, she stared at Mu Anan and turned to leave.
Mu Anan only stood up from the sofa when the door was slammed shut.
She pondered over Tang Mi’s words.
At the same time, crazy screams suddenly sounded from below the stage.
Mu Anan felt the light from the French window on the right suddenly dim.
She walked over and pulled open the half-covered curtains. At a glance, she saw the round dance floor on the first floor.
Tang Mi, who was wearing a nude one-piece suit, held the steel pipe with one hand and slid down from the second floor in a very graceful manner.
Everyone gathered around the dance floor.
They applauded and screamed crazily as if a certain part of the event had just begun.
Tang Mi wore a mask on her face, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, giving off a myriad of flirtatious feelings.
The dance was sexy but not lustful.
Mu Anan realized that the people who were watching were all holding a red rose.
At the same time, Phecda, who had been on the second floor, came downstairs.
Knock knock knock!
As Mu Anan pondered, there was a knock on the door.
Mu Anan turned around and put on her mask before opening the door.
It was the ballroom attendant.
The waiter handed the rose to Mu Anan and said respectfully, “Hello, madam.
The rose section has begun. Please move downstairs.”
Rose section?
