Mu Anan wanted to avoid it, but Zong Zhengyu didn’t let her. He grabbed her waist and picked up the phone.

“Speak.”

“It’s me.” A voice came from the phone.

Close enough to the phone, Mu Anan could discern that the voice belonged to an old man and was powerful and intimidating.

She instinctively thought of the grand master of the Zong family.

When Zong Zhengyu heard the voice, he frowned and lowered his voice. “What is it?”

“The itinerary has been decided. My assistant will contact you,” the old man said.

Hearing his tone, Mu Anan felt that it was especially stiff and formal, unfitting for a grandfather talking to his grandson.

Having previously heard from Gu Shuqing about how the grand master of the Zong family treated Zong Zhengyu, Mu Anan thought they were affectionate to each other. However, the conversation in reality proved otherwise.

At that time, the old master stated, “When I go over this time, bring me your canary. I want to see what the canary you’ve hidden for eight years looks like.”

Mu Anan didn’t know if it was her imagination, but towards the end of his sentence, the old master snorted.

“She’s not a canary,” Zong Zhengyu replied directly.

Mu Anan stole a glance at him.

Zong Zhengyu added, “There’s no need to meet her. She’ll be out for an internship during the few days you’re here.”

Mu Anan was very nervous at first, but she felt her heart throb and jump for joy upon hearing Zong Zhengyu say that she was not a canary.

However, when Mu Anan heard his clear refusal for her to meet the old master, her heart sank, and she lowered her eyes in disappointment.

Meanwhile, Zong Zhengyu had already ended the call with the old master.

When Zong Zhengyu put down his phone, Mu Anan leaned into his arms. “Seventh Master, let me lean on you. I’ll be nervous when I face a group of wealthy wolves and tigers later.”

“Everything has been arranged. Don’t be afraid.” Zong Zhengyu reached out and caressed the back of Mu Anan’s head.

Mu Anan closed her eyes and leaned quietly in his arms.

Back in Liuli City, as the marriage partner arranged by the the old master for Zong Zhengyu, the eldest daughter of the Tang family, Tang Mi, had mocked Mu Anan more than once. She claimed that Mu Anan was just a canary that Zong Zhengyu kept by his side.

At that time, Mu Anan had refuted.

But now, even the grand master of the Zong family had said the same, to which Zong Zhengyu denied.

Nevertheless, at the end of the day, what other identity did she have by Zong Zhengyu’s side, beside that of a canary?

Mu Anan closed her eyes and could not help but smile.

She was confident that she would be able to see how much Zong Zhengyu cared about her after the boxing match.

But in the end, even Mu Anan couldn’t tell whether Zong Zhengyu was possessive, used to her existence, had feelings for her, or something else.

Mu Anan didn’t want to continue thinking about it.

Every thought was like a knife stabbing into her chest.

It was too painful.

Meanwhile, the car arrived at the Jiang Group.

Mu Anan had already recollected herself. Still in Zong Zhengyu’s arms, she smiled and said, “Seventh Master, I have a small request.”

“Go ahead.”

“Can I go in by myself?” Mu Anan asked. “Haven’t you already arranged for a team of lawyers and a management team for me? Those are enough.”

In the face of Mu Anan’s request, Zong Zhengyu did not show any emotion on his face. He was very calm.

He reached out and scratched her nose. “Gu Shuqing told me not to follow you, and that even if I tried to, you would ask me to go up yourself.”

Mu Anan smiled. “Of course. With you around, who would dare to say anything or try anything funny? Today is my day, and I’m going to suppress their people!”

Mu Anan raised her chin as she spoke. “I want them to see what the little princess of Yuyuan Estate and the master of the Mu family is like!”

There was a slight air of prowess about Mu Anan.

It was unknown whether that prowess was a natural manifestation in her young and fearless self, or if it was because he had nurtured her.

“I’ll wait for you downstairs,” Zong Zhengyu replied very straightforwardly.

He didn’t plan to follow her today.

Just as Mu Anan had said, today was her day.

She wanted to take back the family business that she had lost and revive it.

The child had been waiting for this moment for so long. How could he steal her spotlight?

“Are you really going to wait for me?” Mu Anan asked. “Here?”

“Get ready to go up.” Zong Zhengyu carried Mu Anan and placed her on the seat beside him. He rubbed the back of her head and frowned at the same time, adding, “Don’t wear a wig next time. It doesn’t feel good.”

Mu Anan smiled silently. “Okay.”

At the same time, the chauffeur had already gotten out of the car and opened the door for Mu Anan.

“Then I’ll get out?” Mu Anan asked.

Zong Zhengyu nodded and pressed a button at the side.

Immediately, a small LED screen stretched out from the side and was placed in front of Zong Zhengyu.

A few seconds later, a series of images appeared on the screen.

The image was of a huge conference room. There were many people sitting inside. They were all wearing elite uniforms, but their expressions were very unfriendly.

Each of them had a darker expression than the other.

Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, they did not look like good people.

Mu Anan took a glance and knew that it was the scene in the conference room.

Zong Zhengyu tilted his head. “Can you handle it?”

“It’s nothing. Just watch carefully!” Mu Anan raised her chin confidently.

She turned around and got out of the car.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jiu had already gotten out of the car and waited at the side for a while.

Mu Anan glanced at Xiao Jiu. Her expression was cold and her aura was powerful. Xiao Jiu, who had wanted to speak, instantly shut up.

He was really following behind Mu Anan like a well-behaved follower.

When Mu Anan stepped into the Jiang Group building, the legal team and management team arranged by Zong Zhengyu were already waiting. There were more than ten people in total.

They were all dressed in suits and leather shoes, looking like the elites of society.

Mu Anan recognized the two team leaders at a glance.

The legal team consisted of a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses. He was the head of a well-known enterprise in Jianglan City.

He specialized in corporate litigation and had never failed since he entered the industry.

As long as the lawyer accepted the case, the other party only needed to make requests. In court, the lawyer would speak eloquently and completely beat the other party.

The other person was the senior of the management team which was the talk of the town the past few years.

Nowadays, all the management talents of major enterprises were basically nurtured by him.

With the two great figures around, Mu Anan had nothing to worry about.

Upon entering the elevator, Mu Anan was indeed very imposing.

After Mu Anan kicked the door of the meeting room without hesitation, the chaotic meeting room instantly quieted down. Those sly, old businessmen looked in the direction of the door in unison..
