Mu Anan had never been in such a bad mood before, except for the incident eight years ago when she watched her mother and grandfather die.
Mu Anan could not describe the feeling of being betrayed by someone she trusted so much.
She only felt disappointed and lost, as if she had been dragged down forcefully. She couldn’t find her strength.
She should have been angry and rushed forward to strangle Chen Hua, questioning why she had betrayed her!
However, Mu Anan was emotionless.
Confusion, blankness.
She just stared at Chen Hua, wanting a reason.
“Why?”
Why did you betray me?
Am 1 that bad?
You’ve been my only friend since 1 was young. I’ve given my all to you because I’m afraid I’m giving you too little.
But if I gave you too much, I was afraid you would think I didn’t respect you, so I trod carefully.
Other than Zong Zhengyu, you are the closest person to me.
Why did you choose to hurt me?
Am 1 such a failure?
There were too many questions in Mu Anan’s mind, but the words were stuck in her throat.
All she could ask was, “Why?”
Faced with Mu Anan’s question, Chen Hua was at a loss, “Anan, what are you talking about?”
Mu Anan did not answer and continued to stare at Chen Hua.
She couldn’t even tell if Chen Hua’s confused look was real or just an act.
Chen Hua raised her phone and said, “My father called me. He says my brother is in the hospital and fighting with that classmate again. 1 need to rush over immediately.”
Mu Anan was still staring at Chen Hua. After a long time, she asked, “Really?” She asked sarcastically.
She didn’t believe it.
Mu Anan’s full trust in Chen Hua was already on the verge of breaking when
Chen Hua asked the waiter to deliver the special contract.
As a result, it had completely collapsed currently.
Chen Hua was still confused, “Anan, why did you say 1 betrayed you? What happened?”
“Do you know what this place is?” Mu Anan asked.
She did not know if Chen Hua’s questions and confusion were real or just an act.
Mu Anan was in a terrible mood and had no patience to beat around the bush with Chen Hua.
Since Chen Hua didn’t understand, she would clear things up with Chen Hua one by one and confront her clearly!
“This is a five-star hotel, and you told me you got a coupon and invited me here for a meal.” Mu Anan said, “Didn’t anyone tell you that Jiang Capital never sells any coupons or group purchases because the hotel feels that will lower its status?”
Mu Anan approached Chen Hua step by step with a cold expression.
Not knowing whether it was out of guilt or fear of Mu Anan’s current emotions, Chen Hua retreated as Mu Anan approached.
Mu Anan had been with Seventh Master for many years, so she had naturally picked up some of Seventh Master’s aura.
Especially in such a situation where she questioned someone, she would appear especially domineering.
Chen Hua was forced into a corner.
Mu Anan continued questioning her, “Do you know what the special contract you asked the waiter to call over meant?”
Chen Hua’s face stiffened. Her lips moved, but she did not make a sound.
Although Mu Anan had asked a question, she did not need Chen Hua to answer. She answered, “That special contract is actually a contract of sale. When you want me to sign it, it means you’re selling me to the hotel in the name of a friend. Then, the hotel will arrange all kinds of men to be my clients!”
Mu Anan narrowed her eyes and stared at Chen Hua, who was leaning against the corner of the wall.
Her expression changed from confusion to shock and disbelief after hearing Mu Anan’s explanation of the special contract.
Mu Anan’s initial questioning paused because of Chen Hua’s expression.
The corners of her eyes twitched.
Chen Hua’s expression was like it was the first time she had heard of it.
If it was in the past, Mu Anan would have believed Chen Hua’s expression, that she really did not know about it. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding or a coincidence.
But then, Mu Anan’s trust had collapsed.
Mu Anan said, “When you tricked me into coming to this room and intended to leave with the excuse of the phone call, you had sold me here, Chen Hua!” “You’ve betrayed me, do you know that?”
“I don’t know!” Chen Hua suddenly blurted out. Her emotions were intense, “I really didn’t know that it was like this. 1 wouldn’t have known if you didn’t tell me. How could it be like this?”
“This was not what 1 understood.”
“Anan, I didn’t betray you. 1 really didn’t!”
Chen Hua agitatedly grabbed Mu Anan’s hand, “I really didn’t! How could 1 betray you? I’m not heartless. You’re so good to me. How could I harm you like this?”
Mu Anan flung her hand away, “1 also want to know why you betrayed me.”
“I didn’t!” Chen Hua lost control and screamed, “1 really didn’t!”
“This hotel is real. My father gave me a coupon! Previously, my family had been in trouble one after another. I really couldn’t take it. 1 also borrowed money from you, but it couldn’t solve the problem. I was about to break down.”
Chen Hua shouted agitatedly and defended herself, “1 wanted to look for you yesterday to ask Seventh Master to help me. But yesterday, 1 received news that my father’s company has already settled it. They even gave him a bonus and a coupon. The boss of my dad’s company personally came to my house to give me the coupon!”
Chen Hua cried as she shouted. She was worried Mu Anan would not believe her, so she stomped.
She continued, “I searched Jiang Capital and saw pork ribs and roast chicken. You can’t eat seafood and like these two dishes the most. Every time we eat them outside, you’ll complain. But many comments said they tasted very good, so 1 asked my father for this coupon.”
“I really didn’t betray you. Don’t doubt me, really! I’m telling the truth.”
“Mu Anan, I’m really not a heartless person. We’ve been friends for four years. 1 envy you, but that doesn’t mean 1’11 betray you!”
The more Chen Hua shouted, the more agitated she became. She kept wiping her tears.
Mu Anan suddenly took a step back.
Mu Anan was moved by Chen Hua’s eagerness to explain herself.
Mu Anan felt very uncomfortable.
When all the evidence pointed to Chen Hua and when Dr. Gu wanted to get rid of Chen Hua secretly, she could tell Dr. Gu very calmly that she trusted her best friend.
She could bet with Dr. Gu without any scruples.
However, everything that had happened was like a slap to Mu Anan’s face, hurting her heart.
Seeing that Mu Anan not only did not believe her but also distanced herself from her, Chen Hua felt extremely upset.
She wiped her tears away, “Why don’t you believe me? Am I really that bad to you, so bad that 1 would even betray my only best friend?”
