Faced with Mu Anan’s straightforward question, Chen Hua fell silent.

Mu Anan had a straightforward personality. She did not like to hide anything or keep things to herself.

Seeing that Chen Hua did not say anything, Mu Anan asked again, “What exactly is it?”

Her tone became much colder.

After a few seconds, Chen Hua finally spoke, “Can you lend me some money?”

“How much do you want?”

“Ten thousand.”

“I’ll send it to your WeChat now. Accept it.”

Mu Anan ended the call after she said that and transferred the money to Chen Hua on WeChat.

Chen Hua did not accept it immediately. Instead, she asked, “Aren’t you going to ask me what I’m doing with it? Aren’t you worried that I won’t return it to you?”

Mu Anan replied, “Everyone has secrets and unspeakable things. If you want to tell me, I’ll listen. If you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask. Moreover, you are not a person who borrows money and doesn’t return it.”

Mu Anan sent that message some time ago, but Chen Hua did not reply or accept the money.

Mu Anan didn’t know what had happened on the other end, but Chen Hua was too introverted. If she didn’t muster the courage to tell her, Chen Hua would feel hurt if she asked too much.

Thirty minutes later, Chen Hua accepted the money and replied to her message.

Chen Hua said, “Anan, I’ll return the money to you as soon as possible. As for the matter relating to the money…l’ll find a chance to tell you in the future.”

Mu Anan replied, “It’s okay. You can look for me if you have any problems.”

Chen Hua asked, “Anan, have you decided?”

Mu Anan replied,”?”

Chen Hua asked, “Are you going to continue your internship at the mental hospital?”

Mu Anan said, “I’ll be at the hospital tomorrow. What’s your shift? We’ll talk when we meet.”

Chen Hua replied, “I’m taking a leave of absence tomorrow.”

Mu Anan said, “Alright, go ahead. I have something to do here.”

Chen Hua replied, “Alright.”

Mu Anan was still slightly worried after the conversation with Chen Hua ended.

But it was not appropriate to ask.

After all, Chen Hua was already an adult. She was just a friend who treasured her friendship with Chen Hua, but she definitely had no right to force Chen Hua to reveal her secrets.

‘Knock knock knock’

A knock on the door interrupted Mu Anan’s thoughts.

Mu Anan replied, “Come in.”

The door was then pushed open, and Dr. Gu walked in, “Miss Anan.”

Mu Anan threw her phone on the bed and walked towards the sofa.

“Miss Anan, didn’t Seventh Master come back with you?” Dr. Gu asked.

Mu Anan sat on the sofa and leaned against it like a boneless person. She glanced at Dr. Gu in disdain.

She said, “Don’t you already know whether Seventh Master came back with me? Why are you asking the obvious?”

Dr. Gu did not say anything.

Mu Anan continued, “Something happened to the Old Master. There’s an internal problem in the Zong family. He probably won’t be back for a few days.”

Mu Anan looked at Dr. Gu as she said that.

She could clearly see a subtle expression on his usually gentle face.

Mu Anan said, “Come over and sit!”

She had only overheard the discussion of a few people in Phecda and knew that Dr. Gu had a close relationship with those people when he was in the Zong family.

Because of the incident ten years ago, Dr. Gu left the Zong family and stayed in Jianglan City for a long time.

He didn’t go back even when the Old Master was sick.

However, Mu Anan could already guess it. Although Dr. Gu’s surname was not Zong, his relationship with the Grand Master of the Zong family was probably similar to those in Phecda.

They might be even closer.

“When Seventh Master told me, 1 asked about the Old Master’s condition. Although the situation is bad, the critical period has passed. There isn’t a huge issue.” Mu Anan said.

Dr. Gu paused for a moment as he walked toward the sofa.

When he saw Mu Anan’s look of confidence, he suddenly smiled.

Mu Anan raised her eyebrows, “I came back not long ago, and you came looking for me. You even used such a lousy excuse of asking me if Seventh Master returned with me.”

“Isn’t your real purpose of finding me to find out from me the situation of the Zong family and the Grand Master of the Zong family?”

“Miss Anan, you’re really smart.”

Dr. Gu did not deny it. His compliment confirmed Mu Anan’s guess.

Dr. Gu sat on the armchair at the side.

Mu Anan said, “One of the doctors in the medical team you arranged to treat Tang Mi’s face is your apprentice, right?”

Dr. Gu was helpless, “Miss Anan, you even know this?”

“Seventh Master told me.”

Dr. Gu was speechless.

“Seventh Master told me during dinner yesterday. He said that your apprentice has inherited your skills and can be called an expert in cardiology. With your apprentice around, there won’t be any problems with the Old Master.” Mu Anan said.

Dr. Gu listened quietly and did not respond to Mu Anan’s words.

He didn’t know what to say.

Mu Anan also knew that the matter was related to what the people in Phecda had said about the incident ten years ago.

It was a scar.

Mu Anan had already told Dr. Gu everything he wanted to ask, so she did not continue on that topic and changed the subject.

Mu Anan asked, “Dr. Gu, why did you become a doctor in the first place?”

Gu Shuqing looked up and was a little confused by Mu Anan’s question, “Why did I become a doctor in the first place?”

Mu Anan nodded, “I want to know why you chose this path and why you persevered.”

Mu Anan let out a deep breath after she said that.

She got up and took a cigarette and a lighter from Dr. Gu.

She bit the cigarette and lowered her head to light it. She fiddled with her long hair and threw the lighter on the table.

Mu Anan gave off a wild feeling whenever she smoked.

In Gu Shuqing’s opinion, although the whole of Jianglan City said that Mu Anan was a little princess, Mu Anan would only be a pure and obedient princess in front of Zong Zhengyu.

To outsiders, Mu Anan was sharper.

Dr. Gu said, “I’ve never thought of a career other than being a doctor.”

Mu Anan did not understand, “What do you mean?”

“My parents were doctors by profession. When 1 was young, my father died suddenly because he performed seven surgeries consecutively. My mother has always been an authoritative cardiologist.”

Gu Shuqing sounded proud when he mentioned his parents.

Although his father had left, Gu Shuqing’s father was a true hero in his heart.

The hero’s body would leave, but his soul would always be there.

Mu Anan had the same pride as Gu Shuqing.

Her mother and grandfather were authoritative medical researchers.

Her mother often told her that stepping into medical research was a sacrifice of the value of life.

As long as they could leave something useful for the world, then life would be brilliant.

Gu Shuqing replied, “Because of my parents’ influence and them being the role models, becoming a doctor is my only career choice.”

“Then, what about your mother?” Mu Anan suddenly asked, “Is she in Liuli City now?”

Mu Anan asked casually.

However, Dr. Gu’s proud expression suddenly froze..
