Chapter Fifty-One: Overlapping Gaze

  "What exactly are you talking about, say it clearly!" Mu Yan looked at Chu Qingqing's strange smile and felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

  Chu Qingqing stretched out her hand and pulled An An over, then smiled and said: "Yan Gege, isn't An An pretty? I'm giving you a discount today, let you be An An's boyfriend for one night."

  "What? I said Chu Qingqing, what are you guys doing?" Looking at this peaceful face slightly red, but not refusing, it was clear that they had discussed it early on.

  "An An had a crush on a boy before, but he was one year older than her. They agreed to be together after they both went to college. However, that guy immediately hooked up with another girl who came from a wealthy family as soon as he got to college. As a result, An An and the guy got into a fight when she found out about it, and that bastard even slapped An An in the face! Now that bastard is having a birthday party, and that woman actually invited An An on purpose, trying to humiliate her. I won't let my good sister lose face, so An An needs to find an even better boyfriend than him." Chu Qingqing said all this in one breath.

  "Indeed a child's mind, An An, do you still like that boy?" Mu Yan asked.

  An An subconsciously touched her own cheek and then shook her head.

  "If you don't like it, why bother with them? Just treat them as clowns performing a short show. And aren't you a third-year high school student? The college entrance exam is coming up soon, how can you still follow them around and be crazy when you should be studying hard?" Mu Yan said kindly.

  "I'm going abroad after graduating from high school, the college entrance examination doesn't mean anything to me!" An'an replied with a sentence, but her tone was obviously somewhat melancholy, clearly not wanting to leave here.

  From her tone at this time, and the various performances before, Mu Yan felt that An An seemed to be a bit self-abandoning and self-degrading. In the country, having friends like Chu Qingqing might be better, although she liked to make trouble, but was kind by nature. But abroad, with her current situation, it's likely that she would really degenerate.

  Take a closer look at An An, she's indeed a very pretty girl. Although she doesn't have Chu Qingqing's beautiful legs, her facial features are also quite delicate, with a bit of that "girl next door" flavor to her.

  "An'an's family used to run a company, but it went bankrupt last year. Her parents got divorced soon after, and she was awarded to her mother by the court. Now her mother is married to a foreigner and they're leaving the country in a couple of months. Her father lost the company and their house, and still owes tens of millions in debt. Even if An'an wanted to follow her father, it's impossible. Those creditors might even harm her!" Chu Qingqing said.

  Muyan didn't expect that An'an would have such a background, and after An'an mentioned this matter, Muyan noticed that An'an's expression became even more downcast, clearly still showing signs of sadness, obviously not fake. After all, Muyan didn't believe that a high school girl who hadn't even graduated yet could act so well.

  Mu Yan had some sympathy for this little girl in his heart, but as soon as he thought about it, his gaze was tightly fixed on Chu Qingqing.

  "What are you doing? Staring at me like that!" Chu Qingqing said with a hint of guilt under Mu Yan's piercing gaze.

  Mu Yan suddenly smiled and said, "I'm saying, Qingqing, you deliberately called me over, and even went so far as to make Anan say such pitiful things. It's not just that you want me to help her out once, is it? Otherwise, why would you and your good sister reveal all the scars in front of an outsider like me?"

  As soon as Mu Yan said this, Chu Qingqing's face also showed embarrassment, and she immediately hugged Mu Yan's arm, shaking it while coquettishly saying: "Brother Yan, you're really clever, I couldn't deceive you at all. An'an doesn't want to go abroad, her mother is actually not a good person, in fact, her father's company went bankrupt because her mother embezzled all the money. If she followed her mother out, she would definitely be ruined for life. Originally, this kind of thing could have been solved by me, but that fake foreigner has a passport from another country, so even if I told my mom, it wouldn't be easy to solve, and even if there was a way, it would drag on."

  "Your mom can't even solve it, how can I, an ordinary person, solve it?" Mu Yan smiled.

  "You're an ordinary person? An ordinary person can easily defeat three border defense veterans, and they did it so ruthlessly, without caring about retaliation at all." Chu Qingqing retorted, her small face filled with disbelief.

  "Haha!"

  Mu Yan didn't expect this little girl to be so observant, and could only awkwardly smile and say: "Then what do you want to do?"

  Chu Qingqing leaned in close to Mu Yan's ear and whispered, "You catch his mother and that fake foreign devil, and use severe torture to interrogate them. Make them reveal how they embezzled the funds from An'an's father's company. Then I'll get my mom involved and have them arrested for fraud."

  Mu Yan listened and immediately slapped Chu Qingqing's forehead, saying: "How can you even think of such a rotten idea?"

  "Don't hit me on the head, I'll become stupid!" Chu Qingqing rubbed her head, pouting her small mouth as if she had suffered a great blow.

  It seems that Mu Yan disapproves, and An An, who had initially been slightly expectant, appears even more dejected.

  Muyan subconsciously noticed her lost gaze and suddenly felt that something deep within him was touched.

  I remember when I last saw Yuting, she had this same look in her eyes, and now it seems like the two people's gazes have overlapped!

  Yu Ting also seemed to have been hit and left the country, as a result she has now become someone who doesn't even recognize herself, will An An also end up like this?

  Mu Yan didn't intend to get entangled in this messy affair, many things were just Xiao Ya's self-righteousness, it was possible that things weren't as Chu Qingqing said, but at this moment Mu Yan had a very strong feeling, he didn't want An An to go abroad.

  Although he wasn't familiar with An at all, Mu Yan suddenly realized that to some extent, he had taken An as the young girl from back then, and he didn't want that girl to change into a different appearance.

  "An An, don't you really want to go abroad with your mom? Even if it's hard following dad, are you willing?" Mu Yan suddenly asked An An very seriously.

  An'an, who had been gloomy, suddenly had a glimmer of hope in her eyes. She didn't hesitate and nodded vigorously: "I don't want to leave with Mom, as long as I can stay, even if it means suffering, I'm willing!"

  Mu Yan felt the firmness in An An's heart, and suddenly he thought that when Yu Ting first learned she had to leave, hadn't she also persevered for herself? Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

  "Alright, as long as you have this determination, I can help you! As long as you don't want to leave, no one can make you leave!" Mu Yan directly gave An An a promise.
