Chapter 1668 - 1669: Have we met somewhere before?
The tall man was at a loss whether to cry or laugh: "I’m not making this up! Her daddy is really dying, he’s seriously injured! Miss, what do I need to do to make you believe that I’m not tricking her? Shall I take an oath? If I’m lying may the heavens strike me with five thunders, isn’t this oath poisonous enough?"
"Hmph!" An Hao sneered, "Your oath means nothing. You’re more likely to get hit by a car than be struck by lightning. I won’t say more. I just want to know, if Mu Mian’s father has always been exceptionally loving towards her, would she understand him? Besides, even this pitiful boss is pleading for her... so I think she can’t be a bad person."
"She’s not bad. But she lied, didn’t she? She’s kind to everyone but not to her own father," the tall man said.
"Aaaaah!" The mute, tears in his eyes, hurriedly shook his head, meaning to tell everyone that Mu Mian was really not like what they said.
"Oh my god. This is really driving us to despair! Miss, why won’t you go back? Give us a reason!" Zhang Yun watched on the side, feeling exhausted.
"Auntie, I can’t say! I have unspeakable difficulties." Mu Mian covered her mouth, tears streaming down her fingers.
"I believe you!" An Hao looked at Mu Mian and said.
"Thank you, sister!" Mu Mian was nearly collapsing.
"What... what’s going on here?" the tall man said in frustration, "How am I supposed to explain this to her father?"
"You don’t need to say anymore. I think Mu Mian must know about her father’s illness. If it’s really that serious, how could she not go back? What kind of unforgivable, monumental mistake could a relative make that a child can’t forgive even in death? Besides, to find a girl, so many of you big men came here, which really makes me doubt your motives."
After this analysis by An Hao, everyone felt it made sense.
After all, the girl was crying a river.
All these men appeared tall and strong, with a somewhat menacing look on their faces.
"Let her go," An Hao said, looking up at the man.
"This..." The tall man swept his gaze over the crowd, weighed his options, and decided to let Mu Mian go, "Mu Mian, if you’re unwilling to go back, I won’t force you. We haven’t completed our task, but we still have to report back to your father. If you change your mind, go back on your own. If we forcibly take you, we’d be afraid of being accused of bullying."
Mu Mian was let go.
The tall man gestured, and everyone followed him away.
Seeing the excitement was over, the people dispersed and went about their own business.
At that moment, the mute stepped forward, wiping his tears with his sleeve, and made two indistinct syllables: "Eigh... reason..."
With tears in her eyes, Mu Mian smiled: "Mm, I won’t cry!"
Seeing that the crisis was averted, An Hao was ready to leave with her grandma, but the mute stopped them. He took out ten yuan from his pocket to return to An Hao, insisting on not keeping it.
Naturally, she refused to take it.
After a back and forth, An Hao ultimately did not take the money.
"Sister, thank you for believing in me." Mu Mian gave An Hao a deep bow.
"Mu Mian, have we met before?" Because the name sounded very familiar to An Hao, as if she had heard it somewhere.
"Don’t think so? This is the first time I’ve met you, sister," Mu Mian said in a gentle voice.
Since that was the case, An Hao didn’t pursue it further and bid Mu Mian farewell.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard Mu Mian call her: "Sister, wait a minute!"
