Chapter 242: Why Was He Acting Like a Kind Father?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Mu Anan didn’t need to turn around. She could see the person standing behind her through the reflection of the wall before her.

It was a man in a suit.

Just by looking at the rough outline, one could tell that the other party had a rigorous and refined type of image.

Mu Anan’s heart tightened.

She was very unwilling to face that person.

She even wanted to leave.

However, Mu Anan was still rational. She also wanted to know why that man had appeared in that place and why he had stopped her.

Mu Anan regulated her emotions without batting an eyelid.

When she turned around, her expression was indifferent.

The middle-aged man in a suit was none other than Jiang Zhen!

Mu Anan’s good-for-nothing father.

Jiang Zhen was still holding two lunch boxes in his hands, and he had a charming smile on his face.

As he walked towards Mu Anan, he said, “Miss Anan, 1 asked the hotel to pack lunch for the Psychiatry Department. I wanted to treat the people in your department to a meal, but 1 realized you weren’t there, so I brought it over for you.”

As Jiang Zhen spoke, he handed the lunchbox to Mu Anan.

He added, “No matter what, Xiao Qin has been interning in the Psychiatry Department for quite some time. Just take it as a thank you to Xiao Qin’s colleagues for taking care of her.”

Mu Anan listened to the reasons given by Jiang Zhen. There was nothing wrong with them on the surface.

A father came to treat his daughter’s colleagues to a meal for his daughter’s comfort at work so that Jiang Qin could get along with her colleagues.

However, if she thought about it further.

Who was Jiang Qin?

Compared to her colleagues in the hospital, Jiang Qin was indeed superior.

Putting aside the fact that Jiang Zhen, the CEO of Jianglan City’s number one pharmaceutical group, came to deliver food, just his action of delivering food to Mu Anan felt strange.

He was clearly there to look for Mu Anan.

Was he testing?

To test if she was Mu Qing’s daughter?

Although Mu Anan’s expression was calm, she had already thought through a lot.

In the end, she took the lunch box, “Thank you, Uncle. Sorry for the trouble.”

“You’re welcome,” Jiang Zhen smiled and kept staring at Mu Anan as if he wanted to see something from her face.

Mu Anan was a little nervous.

When the Mu family disappeared, Mu Anan’s facial features had already been fixed. She was not much different from before.

A normal father would definitely recognize his daughter.

Even if Mu Anan was wearing glasses.

However, Mu Anan was almost certain that Jiang Zhen would not recognize her.

Jiang Zhen had gotten close to Mu Qing for the Mu family’s status back then. He had even calculated step by step to make Mu Qing fall in love with him.

After marrying Mu Qing, Jiang Zhen had completely established himself in the Mu Group. He was busy with work all day long and was very cold to his wife and children.

In Mu Anan’s remaining memories, that father had appeared very few times.

He could even use work as an excuse to miss her birthday several times.

In the past, when Mu Anan was still young, she would often grab Mu Qing and ask her why her father did not come back.

Why did her father not love her?

At that time, the young Mu Anan often fell into the sadness of self-doubt.

Fortunately, Mu Anan had the gentlest mother in the world.

However, that scumbag father made her lose her mother forever!

Lost that gentleness!

When Mu Anan lowered her eyes, she hid the hatred in them.

“Miss Anan, can 1 talk to you?” Jiang Zhen asked.

“Sure.” Mu Anan replied straightforwardly.

She wanted to see what else Jiang Zhen had to say!

Mu Anan glanced at the green bench in the corridor ahead and took the initiative to sit down.

She placed the lunchbox on her lap, not intending to open it.

Jiang Zhen stood there and thought momentarily before sitting down next to Mu Anan.

The green benches were side by side, and the two seats were very close to each other. When Jiang Zhen sat down, his arm was next to Mu Anan’s.

Mu Anan felt disgusted when they got in contact.

“Miss Anan, please don’t mind me. I know it’s offensive, but I want to be closer to you.” Jiang Zhen said.

Mu Anan could even hear a hint of pleading in his tone.

Mu Anan gripped her lunch box tightly and resisted the urge to shift her position.

Jiang Zhen continued, “Ever since I found out about Miss Anan, I couldn’t help but get close to you because…my beloved daughter has the same name as Miss Anan.”

Jiang Zhen’s voice was choked with emotion as he said the last sentence.

If an outsider heard that, they would be able to sense that that was a father who had strong feelings for his daughter.

Mu Anan endured her disgust and continued to play along with Jiang Zhen!

She wanted to see what that sanctimonious hypocrite wanted to say while putting up a fatherly act in front of her!

Mu Anan chuckled and asked, “Same name as me?”

“Yes, my previous wife’s name was Mu Qing. She was a very gentle and virtuous woman and gave birth to a cute daughter for me.” Before 1 met my wife, 1 didn’t know there was such a gentle person in this world. She gave birth to a daughter for me, and she was as cute as an angel.”

Jiang Zhen looked at Mu Anan with deep emotion, “She’s as cute as Miss Mu Anan.”

When Mu Anan heard that, she really wanted to ask, “Scumbag dad, don’t you find it disgusting?”

Mu Anan put in her all to put up an act and looked surprised, “1 thought Uncle Jiang only had one daughter, Jiang Qin.”

As soon as Mu Anan finished speaking, Jiang Zhen looked extremely sad.

Mu Anan didn’t want to look him in the eye, afraid she would be disgusted to the point of picking up the lunch box and slamming it on her scumbag father’s head.

Jiang Zhen said, “That story started when 1 was still a student.”

“At that time, I was just a poor student. My wife, Mu Qing, did not despise me at all. At that time, many people ridiculed my wife. In order not to embarrass my wife, 1 worked hard! At least I’ve made some achievements!”

Mu Anan listened quietly. She had heard that story from her mother many times.

Her mother was very proud every time she mentioned it. She felt that her most successful choice was to believe in Jiang Zhen because Jiang Zhen didn’t let her lose!

But how could her poor mother know that all of that was a scam set up by Jiang Zhen?

He had put on a show, deceived a woman, and seized a corporation.

Jiang Zhen was definitely the most awesome actor!

Mu Anan’s heart ached.

Her mother was a very noble and gentle woman. She was a genius in school and later became a researcher with Mu Anan’s grandfather. She was an ace in the field of medicine.

However, such an outstanding and noble woman chose a poor man because of her pure and kind heart and fell into his trap!

Her mother, who had been beautiful all her life, was slashed multiple times in her face by the perpetrator when she died!

It was a bloody mess!

And all of that!

They were all because of that disgusting man sitting next to Mu Anan, playing the role of a loving husband and a loving father!
