Chapter 45: Disciple Anran, Requests to See Master Zhao

Fortunately, after the rescue, Qin Hua and Tan Ya were temporarily out of danger.

However, the doctor said that the patient's injuries were too serious and his condition was very unstable. It was hard to say how long he could last, so he asked the family to be mentally prepared in advance.

After staying at his parents' bedside for a while, Qin Mu flew back to Beijing. There was a board meeting waiting for him the next day.

What he was guarding was not his own career and future, but the hard work of his parents for most of their lives.

When he got off the plane, the girl who had accompanied him through countless difficulties was waiting for him.

He had to hold himself together in front of his grandparents and sister and not show his vulnerability. The moment he saw Meng Anran, Qin Mu's eyes instantly turned red and he hugged her in his arms.

I cried silently.

It's fear, it's worry, it's the release of all emotions after the taut string suddenly loosens.

Meng Anran put her arms around his waist, patted his back gently, and said nothing.

Meng Anran sent Qin Mu home and stayed by his bedside to accompany him to sleep.

Just like when she had her first period in junior high school and was in excruciating pain, he also lay by her bed and stayed by her all night.

After Qin Mu fell asleep, Meng Anran tucked in the quilt for him, stood up and pounded her numb legs, then asked the driver to take her home.

The atmosphere in the Meng family was not good either. Meng Yushu had already returned from filming, but Meng Rong had not driven the car all day. Everyone was in a low mood because of Lu Heng's uninvited visit today.

Seeing Meng Anran return, Su Wanman forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and asked with concern, "Have you eaten? Mom will go make you some noodles."

"No."

A lot of things happened that day, and Meng Anran was too tired. She wanted to go back to her room to rest, but after thinking about it, she decided to sit down on the sofa in the living room.

Straight to the point: "Has Lu Heng been here today?"

"Yes." Meng Yushu did not hide anything and told Meng Anran the whole story.

Meng Anran frowned and said, "He's mentally unstable. You don't have to pay attention to what he says. I'm living very comfortably here and I don't plan to leave with him. My brother has to film tomorrow and my dad has to go for an interview tomorrow too. Let's all get some rest early."

She pulled up the corners of her lips and smiled, then stood up and went back to her room.

Meng Yushu looked at her sister's lonely back and noticed her tiredness, but it seemed that it was not because of Lu Heng, but because there was something heavier weighing on her heart.

Perhaps because she was too tired, she was less discreet when she spoke, which allowed him to hear some other messages.

She stayed in the Meng family not because she accepted the Meng family, but because she felt comfortable living there.

Moreover, not planning to go with Lu Heng doesn't mean she won't leave. It seems that she has been planning when to leave since the day she returned to the Meng family.

That night, accompanied by the sound of rain, the brother and sister could not sleep all night.

The next morning, the rain got heavier.

The whole city was shrouded in mist, a vast expanse of white. Without sunlight, the sky at seven o'clock was still as dark as four or five in the morning.

Meng Yushuben hadn't slept well all night. When he heard some noise outside, he got out of bed and went out, only to see Meng Anran closing the door and leaving.

He walked into the living room and opened the window. The thunder was deafening. After waiting for a while, he saw Meng Anran holding an umbrella and walking quickly to the gate of the community through the rain curtain. She got into the Toyota commercial vehicle that he had taken last time.

It's raining so hard so early in the morning. Where is she going?

At this moment, Meng Anran casually put her umbrella aside, patted the water droplets on her body, and told the driver to drive, "Go to Yatang."

The driver obeyed the instructions and drove the car.

Meng Anran received a call from Qin Mu.

"Are you awake?" There was a gentle smile in her voice, and she didn't want her emotions to affect Qin Mu.

"Hmm." Qin Mu pondered for a while, then said sullenly, "An Ran, I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position."

Meng Anran comforted him in a relaxed tone: "What's the problem? After all, he is my master. Besides, even if he doesn't recognize me as his disciple, a doctor has a kind heart, so there is no reason for him not to save people."

Qin Mu was silent. He knew how strained the relationship between Meng Anran and Mr. Zhao was back then. They had directly severed their master-disciple relationship and had no contact for five years.

Last year, An Xiaoran also thought about easing the relationship with Mr. Zhao, but Mr. Zhao didn't answer her calls and was unwilling to see her.

There is a high possibility that she will be turned away again this time.

Of course he hoped to ask Mr. Zhao to come out of retirement, but he couldn't bear to see Meng Anran suffer for him.

If his parents weren't in crisis, he wouldn't have the heart to let An Xiaoran face obstacles for him.

"Anran, thank you."

"There's no need for thanks between you and me. Ruiming will deliver the chip samples to Qin's today. Once this project is completed, Qin's market value will at least double. Countless eyes are staring at you, hoping to see you fail. You still have a lot of things to do, so don't indulge in sadness any longer."

"I understand. Don't worry about the company's affairs. I will take care of them. Just...be careful. If Mr. Zhao still doesn't want to see you, don't force yourself. I'll find a way to invite him."

"good."

After the phone call ended, Meng Anran leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes and sighed.

When she left Yatang five years ago, she severed her master-disciple relationship with Mr. Zhao. Last year, she heard that Mr. Zhao was seriously ill, and she wanted to ask about his condition and meet him again and again.

No matter how many times she came to his house or how many messages of apology she sent to Mr. Zhao, he still refused to see her.

It was raining heavily and visibility on the road was very low. For safety reasons, the driver did not drive fast and it took nearly an hour and a half to arrive at the entrance of Yatang.

Seeing the driver preparing to accompany them out of the car, Meng Anran said, "You wait in the car."

She took her umbrella, pushed the door open and got out of the car.

The strong wind and heavy rain made the umbrella in her hand useless. Her shoes were soaked in the water, her trousers were half wet, and her clothes were also soaked by the rain.

Perhaps because of the bad weather, there were no pedestrians on the street and the door of the elegant hall was closed to welcome customers.

Looking at the red-painted, majestic wooden door in front of him, Meng Anran took a deep breath, rapped the doorknob hard, and shouted loudly: "Disciple Anran, I beg to see Master Zhao! I hope Master Zhao will be magnanimous and see my disciple!"

The sound was drowned out by the sound of heavy rain, but she was not discouraged and continued to knock on the door knocker.

"Disciple Anran, begging to see Master Zhao!"

After shouting for an unknown amount of time, the wooden door creaked open a crack. A woman in plain clothes, with long hair tied up in a high ponytail, and a cold expression, said, "Mr. Zhao doesn't want to see you. Please go back."
