Chapter 239: The Look of Flattery Was Too Ugly
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was the peak hour when Mu Anan arrived at the mental hospital.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance, she bumped into many people.
From the moment Mu Anan appeared, those people’s eyes had been on her, secretly sizing her up.
Although her identity had already been exposed and she no longer needed to pretend ugly, Mu Anan’s clothes were still the same as before, except there were no more moles on her face. However, her black-rimmed glasses were still perched on her nose bridge.
She did that to guard against Jiang Qin.
Mu Anan had only pretended to be ugly because she happened to be in the same school and class as Jiang Qin. She was worried that the Jiang family would recognize her.
After all, Mu Anan’s facial features had not fully developed when her mother died, but they had already been fixed.
It was still easy to be recognized after a slight comparison.
Mu Anan was used to being cautious.
“Good morning, Miss Anan.” Someone took the initiative to come over and greet her.
Mu Anan only nodded politely.
If she remembered correctly, that night, when Huo Zhenzhen wanted to go to the Psychiatry Department alone but was stopped by Mu Anan, some nurses rushed over to accuse Mu Anan of targeting Huo Zhenzhen, and that person was one of them.
“Miss Anan, you took a week off. We all miss you.” Another person said with a smile.
As soon as she said that, someone else immediately echoed, “That’s right, Miss Anan. Please don’t give up on this internship opportunity.”
“It’s rare for our hospital to have a hardworking and dedicated doctor like Miss Anan.”
“Miss Anan, although you’re still an intern, I’m sure you’ll be a good doctor in the future!”
As they talked, Mu Anan was surrounded by many people.
They were all praising and flattering Mu Anan.
“Miss Anan, you’re here so early. Have you had breakfast? 1 bought an extra set.”
When Mu Anan heard the familiar voice and turned her head, she noticed a familiar face beside her.
Zhang Xiao.
Mu Anan had a deep impression of that person.
When Huo Zhenzhen targeted her, Zhang Xiao was the first to be a lackey. She seized the opportunity to attack Mu Anan.
At that moment, Zhang Xiao seemed to have lost her memory. She held her breakfast and smiled at Mu Anan fawningly.
Zhang Xiao said, “Miss Anan, this breakfast is very delicious. You can try it.”
“I’m sorry, 1 don’t like it.”
Mu Anan responded coldly. She pushed Zhang Xiao away and walked toward Director Chang’s office building.
She left without giving Zhang Xiao any face.
Zhang Xiao’s expression immediately darkened.
The surrounding people looked at her like she was a joke.
“Che, why is she pretending to be noble and virtuous?” Zhang Xiao cursed and threw the breakfast into the trash can.
She said sourly, “Aren’t you just relying on a man? Do you really think you’re a princess? You’re acting so high and mighty! Haven’t you heard the master of relationships say that women who rely on men’s pampering for a living will get retribution sooner or later!”
Zhang Xiao muttered a few words, full of displeasure.
She even kicked the trash can in displeasure.
She scolded again, “I’m just waiting for the day Seventh Master doesn’t want you anymore. You’ll fall like a dog!”
Zhang Xiao’s words of hatred and jealousy did not receive any response from anyone around her.
Many nurses looked at Zhang Xiao with disdain.
In the past, she had tried to curry favor with Huo Zhenzhen.
Now, she was sucking up to Mu Anan, but when ignored, she started cursing instead.
Her demeanor was really ugly!
‘Knock knock knock’
Mu Anan had just knocked on Director Chang’s office when the door opened immediately.
Director Chang’s big face appeared in front of Mu Anan immediately. Because he was smiling too hard, the corners of his eyes wrinkled deeply, making him look like a chrysanthemum.
Mu Anan took a step back in fright when she saw that.
Director Chang said, “Miss Anan, you’re here. Come in and have a seat.”
As he spoke, Director Chang made an inviting gesture.
Mu Anan nodded and followed him into the office.
Only then did she realize that on the sofa in Director Chang’s office, a thin old man with white hair was standing there, looking at Mu Anan with a smile.
Mu Anan recognized him. He was the Dean of the mental hospital.
The Dean did not really care about the mental hospital’s matters. They were mostly managed by Director Chang.
Mu Anan had heard the gossip when she first joined the hospital that the Dean was slowly retiring, and Director Chang would take over the following year.
“Miss Anan, come and sit down.” As the Dean spoke, he invited Mu Anan to sit on the armchair.
Mu Anan nodded and sat down.
Director Chang returned to his seat, and the Dean and he each sat on a side of Mu Anan’s seat.
The tea on the coffee table had already been brewed.
Director Chang brought the tea to Mu Anan, “Miss Anan, try this tea and see if it suits your taste. If it doesn’t, I’ll get someone to change it.”
“Thank you.” Mu Anan simply replied.
Faced with the compliments from Director Chang and the Dean, Mu Anan was natural and composed.
After all, she was a child who grew up in the Yuyuan Estate. Naturally, she wasn’t afraid of any situations and strangers.
Mu Anan went straight to business, “Dean, Director Chang, I’m here today to discuss my internship.”
As soon as Mu Anan said that, the Dean and Director Chang looked at each other.
The Dean smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
He was very nervous.
Because Mu Anan’s decision was related to the survival of the hospital.
Mu Anan had been on leave since Momo’s incident and after her identity was exposed.
The Dean went around asking about the attitude of the master of the Yuyuan Estate.
The Dean used almost all of his connections to find out about the situation.
The attitude of the master in the Yuyan Estate followed that of Miss Anan.
If Miss Anan continued to stay in the mental hospital for her internship, then everything that happened before would be treated as if nothing had happened.
And the master at Yuyuan Estate could guarantee the safety of the mental hospital.
However, if Mu Anan chose to give up her internship at the mental hospital, the mental hospital in Jianglan City would become history forever the next moment.
For a Dean who was about to retire in less than a year, if something happened to the mental hospital at that critical juncture, it would directly affect his retirement and his later years.
Previously, when Mu Anan was on leave, the Dean was anxious.
As Mu Anan was about to announce her decision, the Dean’s emotions began to tense up.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
It broke out again after he wiped it off with a handkerchief!
Mu Anan naturally noticed the Dean’s nervousness.
Before the previous night, Mu Anan did not have an answer about the internship at the mental hospital.
But when she drove over earlier, Mu Anan had already made up her mind.
Therefore, Mu Anan did not dawdle.
She said, “Dean, Director Chang, I’ve already made a decision regarding my internship.”
As soon as Mu Anan said that, the Dean and Director Chang instantly tensed up..
