Chapter 416: Chapter 416
Mu Xingfeng was truly scared this time. When he found out that An Ran and Shen Wenxuan were locked in together, his brain almost couldn’t function, and his breathing seemed to stop.
If An Ran and Shen Wenxuan were to really get involved with each other during Wenxuan’s and his sister’s engagement ceremony, the consequences would be something he couldn’t bear.
Although he believed in Shen Wenxuan and his sister’s feelings, as a man, he clearly felt that Shen Wenxuan had special feelings for An Ran.
He couldn’t quite describe what these feelings were, only knowing they were different from how he treated other women.
Moreover, Shen Wenxuan had already drunk quite a lot at that time.
Later, when he learned that Shen Wenxuan had been drugged by Feng Jingjing, he became even more fearful.
He knew how potent that drug was. He always thought highly of his self-control, yet even he had lost control and violated An Ran, who he barely knew at the time, under the influence of that drug.
Shen Wenxuan had drunk so much alcohol by then. The result of a drunken Wenxuan being drugged again was something he dared not imagine...
As a narcotics officer, Mu Xingfeng had seen too many addicts and always hated drug dealers. Yet now, he wished he could legally bring those who sold knock-out drugs to justice. Get full chapters from novel fire.net
He hated the one who drugged her, but he also blamed An Ran for not knowing how to protect herself.
The more Mu Xingfeng thought about it, the angrier he got. His words became more hurried and almost scolding.
"An Ran, regardless of whether you were inexperienced before or just naive, from now on, please take a good look at the society you’re in. It’s far more complicated than you imagine. Not every time you’ll be this lucky, not every time you’ll have someone to rescue you in time. Don’t rely on others. Relying on others is less than relying on yourself. At any given time, the most reliable person can only be you yourself."
An Ran stood at the stairs, gripping the railing so hard that her knuckles were visibly clear, and her fingertips turned white. Yet no matter how white they were, they couldn’t compare to her pale face.
"I’m sorry, Instructor Mu, for bothering you again. I’ll be more careful in the future." After a brief silence, An Ran suddenly spoke, trying hard to hold back her tears.
"Also, if possible, may I return to Nan’an?" An Ran continued, "I believe the problems around you have been resolved, Instructor Mu. For the money I owe, please give me a bit more time and I will return it as soon as possible."
With just these two short sentences, An Ran used all her strength. After finishing, she went upstairs without looking back.
Mu Xingfeng was slightly stunned. That wasn’t what he meant. He was just angry at her for not protecting herself. He never thought about making her leave.
Mu Xingfeng wanted to say more, but the bedroom door upstairs had already closed.
An Ran leaned against the bedroom door, and her tears finally fell.
The witch was right; she was indeed a bad luck girl. She had been a jinx from the moment she was born, cursing everyone around her, from her unseen mother to her loving grandmother. Everyone who cared for her and loved her met with a bad end.
Is it now Instructor Mu’s turn?
Instructor Mu treated her so well, saving her from danger time and time again, bringing her to the Mu Family, giving her warmth that she hadn’t felt in eighteen years. But all she brought to him was chaos, bringing disaster to his family, leaving her with no face to stay in the Mu Family any longer.
Instructor Mu was right; at any time, the most reliable person is yourself. She couldn’t drag Instructor Mu down anymore.
She was inherently an ill-fated person. Someone as outstanding as Instructor Mu wasn’t someone she should entangle with. How could someone like her deserve Instructor Mu? She was just too greedy.
