Chapter 333: Meeting the Parents (Part One)
The road was leading to Family Mu’s house. Zhao Anan recognized the road because she had been there before.
This was not a joke. She couldn’t go there.
Was she going there to be driven out?
Mu Qing’s parents and his grandpa had said ten years ago that Family Mu was not going to allow him to marry an unhealthy or infertile woman. Mu Qing was the hope of his family and she must not ruin him.
Family Mu had once offered her a large amount of compensation. But Family Zhao needed everything but money!
Zhao Anan was young back then and she had never heard anything like this. She couldn’t stand what Family Mu said and had broken up with Mu Qing and disappeared from his world completely.
It was not until she grew up and became mature did she understand that their argument was very reasonable and that it had been she who had not been rational.
So she shouldn’t visit Family Mu again!
She didn’t want to get humiliated and didn’t want Mu Qing to have a row with his parents because of her.
“Scumbag, are you deaf? Are you stupid? Stop the car now! Or I will jump out of the car window right now!”
Zhao Anan got so anxious that her palms started to sweat. She kept urging Mu Qing to stop the car.
“I am not going to Family Mu. None of them like me. Why should I go and annoy them?”
Those words stabbed right into Mu Qing’s heart.
He braked the car suddenly.
“Nonsense! Who dare dislike you? You are my woman and they have no right to make comments about you.I will reason with whoever that dislikes you.”
When Mu Qing got furious, so did Zhao Anan. She screamed. “You father, your mother and your grandpa, everyone in the family dislikes me. I am not going to your home now, because they told me ten years ago that Family Mu would not want an unhealthy woman and that they didn’t want me to ruin you.”
Mu Qing got startled all of a sudden. A short while later, he started to speak in a trembling voice. “What... what are you talking about? They came to you ten years ago?”
Zhao Anan stiffened. She had made a promise to Family Mu never to spill the secret.
But she had no other choice at the moment. She didn’t mind spilling out everything as long as Mu Qing could be stopped from taking her to Family Mu.
“Yes, they did. They said that I was sick and I mustn’t marry you. So, please open the door and let me get off the car. I am not going to meet your family!”
Mu Qing got furious all of a sudden. He bellowed in a hoarse voice, “Why didn’t you tell me about them? You just left like a silly girl and I couldn’t find you anywhere. I am the one who is going to spend the rest of my life with you, not them.”
After he finished bellowing, he swept Zhao Anan into his arms and held her so tightly that Zhao Anan almost suffocated.
After a long while, he said in a concerned voice, “Anan, I am sorry, I apologize on their behalf. They did it all for me, and you can be angry or punch me as you wish.”
Tears gushed out of Zhao Anan’s eyes suddenly.
She raised her hands and wiped them, feeling stupid to be teary eyed all the time these days.
She had not shed a single tear during the chemotherapy, but they came out of her eyes constantly for these worthless matters.
Why should he get scolded? He was an innocent man who loved her the most. She didn’t want to put him into dilemma in front of his parents.
Zhao Anan extracted herself from Mu Qing’s arms and said firmly, “I am not going to your home. I am going to my own home.”
“No, Anan, you must come with me today.” Mu Qing started the engine and the car started to move forward again.
“I will take you to them and explain everything. I want my family to know that I will marry no one except for you. They can be in charge of everything but I must be in charge of finding my own wife who is going to spend the rest of her life with me. I like you and that is all that should matter to them.”
Zhao Anan got anxious. What was going on with this man? He was just so stubborn.
The white Jaguar reached a villa located in the outskirts, finally.
Zhao Anan had been cursing, biting and hitting him all the way, but none of those actions changed Mu Qing’s mind.
As the car was pulled over, Mu Qing got off the driver’s seat, went to the other side and pulled out Zhao Anan from the passenger’s seat.
Zhao Anan refused to get out, but Mu Qing gripped her wrist tightly and threatened her. “Do you want me to carry you in or do you want me to give you the needle first before carrying you in?”
Zhao Anan walked into the villa with a bitter face, defeated by Mu Qing’s ruthlessness.
The villa of Family Mu’s was not enormous but it was very exquisite and located in a beautiful environment. There were numerous herbs planted in the garden and they gave out a pleasant scent of medicine mixing with the autumn air.
Two servants at the villa were picking the worms from the herbs carefully when they saw Mu Qing and Zhao Anan entering the place. They greeted him courteously.
“Greetings, Third Master!”
“Welcome home, Third Master!”
Mu Qing was ranked third place in the generation, with two elder cousins before him and two younger cousins after him.
The younger male cousin disliked medical science, but the two elder cousins and the younger girl were all devoted to the same field. They were not as excellent as him, but they had all inherited the essence of Family Mu’s expertise in medical science. They had become outstanding doctors in different places.
Family Mu had been a united and harmonious family. After Mu Wensheng decided to make Mu Qing as the heir of Family Mu’s Hospital, the other members of the family didn’t object at all. They had been devoted to medical science through the years and had no interest in competing for the family business. They were delighted to hear Mu Qing taking over the hospital, because he was a rare genius in the field of medical science and was a social man. It was totally reasonable that he took over Family Mu’s Hospital, which would definitely get better and better under his guidance. So would Family Mu.
Mu Qing took Zhao Anan inside as he greeted the two servants pleasantly, “Aunt Bai and Aunt Lin, morning, morning!”
Then he asked, “Where is my grandpa?”
“The old master is in the backyard, he is with Family Jing...”
Before the servant finished her words, Mu Qing took off in the direction of the backyard with Zhao Anan.
