“It just has to be obedient, stay by its master’s side obediently, and don’t cause trouble,” Mu Anan said softly.

However, her eyes were especially dim.

Xiao Jiu opened her mouth. She felt that there was something wrong with Mu Anan’s words, but she couldn’t pinpoint what the problem was.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with her description of a canary.

Just as Xiao Jiu was thinking about how to comfort Mu Anan, Mu Anan laughed.

“What are you laughing at?” Xiao Jiu didn’t understand.

“It’s nothing. It’s just a canary.” Mu Anan shrugged in a relaxed tone. “I don’t want to be a canary, so I’ll change. I can’t possibly blame myself. What can I do?” Mu Anan was joking with herself.

Xiao Jiu couldn’t understand Mu Anan’s change in mood.

Mu Anan put her arm around Xiao Jiu’s shoulder. “Let’s go downstairs to find your Seventh Brother.”

“What about the canary matter?”

“Xiao Jiu, have you heard of such a story?”

“What story?”

“There was once a canary who was raised in a cage. In order to be able to stand beside her master, the canary began to cultivate into a human form. Then, she stood beside that man and told the world that she was a woman!”

“What story is this? Why haven’t I heard of it before?”

“You’ve heard it now, haven’t you?” Mu Anan pulled Xiao Jiu downstairs.

Since they were still in the Jiang Group building, everyone around was visibly panicked because of Jiang Zhen’s scandal, although they still looked as glamorous as usual.

Mu Anan let go of Xiao Jiu and adjusted her suit jacket after she got into the elevator.

Just as Mu Anan and Xiao Jiu were about to leave, an old voice came from behind. “M-Miss Mu!”

Mu Anan and Xiao Jiu turned around at the same time.

A white-haired old man wearing a cleaner’s uniform walked toward Mu Anan. “By any chance, are you Miss Mu?”

The old man walked up to Mu Anan, but he stopped because he was conscious of his identity.

“May I ask who you are…”

The old man shook his head.” I-I was once an insignificant employee of Mu

Group. 1 just heard that Jiang Group is going to become Mu Group again in the future, and we’ll have to change our management style and the partners we’re talking about. Is it true that Mu Group will return to the group that only serves the pharmaceutical industry better?”

The old man asked excitedly, his eyes reddened.

For some reason, Mu Anan did not feel good about it.

She seemed to be able to see traces of the early stages of her grandfather and mother’s company.

Although they had founded a company, it was definitely not for the purpose of making money. It was just to better take on social responsibility.

In this society, some people did it for money, some for fame, and some just out ofo goodwill.

His grandfather and mother were the third type of people.

In Mu Anan’s heart, they were great because they had noble love.

They were gentle and beautiful.

They naively believed that by stepping on this Earth and using the Earth’s resources, they had a social responsibility.

Even if this responsibility was small and would even be ridiculed for being hypocritical, so what?

They still had to do what he had to do.

Mu Anan smiled and said, “I’m Mu Guoliang’s granddaughter and Mu Qing’s daughter, so I won’t let their reputation be tarnished. From today onwards, the shadows cast over Mu Group will be lifted one by one.”

The old man heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good, that’s good.”

Mu Anan took a step back.

Xiao Jiu subconsciously moved aside, not understanding what was going on.

At the same time, Mu Anan bowed to the old man. “Thank you for not giving up on Mu Group all these years. I’m back, and I won’t let you down.”

Tears fell from Mu Anan’s eyes. When she looked up, she had a bright smile on her face.

The old man smiled. “It’s good that you’re back. It’s good that you’re back.”

He waved his hand and did not continue talking to Mu Anan. Instead, he turned around and returned to the cleaners’ lounge.

Mu Anan watched the old man leave with respect.

Xiao Jiu secretly tugged at Mu Anan’s clothes.

Mu Anan’s gaze was still on the old man. She said softly, “When my grandfather was still alive, he often told me some things. He said that he had a university roommate who was very close to him. Later on, his university roommate became his right-hand man and always supported him.”

“So that old man…”

Mu Anan turned around and smiled. “A high-level talent who graduated from university is willing reduced to a cleaner just to see the original company’s revival.”

Mu Anan was glad that she was back to take up the unfinished business of her grandfather and mother.

Xiao Jiu could understand Mu Anan’s feelings, but she couldn’t say anything. Therefore, she only patted Mu Anan’s shoulder.

Mu Anan smiled. “Let’s go. Your brother must be getting anxious.” After saying that, she walked out and sent a message to the management regarding the old man from earlier to let them handle it.

As soon as Mu Anan and Xiao Jiu walked out of the building, Luo Sen got out of the car and opened the door for Mu Anan.

Zong Zhengyu was sitting in the car, and the LED screen in it had been put away.

Xiao Jiu spontaneously sat in the backseat.

Mu Anan got into the car, and Luo Sen closed the door.

Zong Zhengyu turned his head and looked at the child sitting by the window.

His expression was complicated. “Girl.”

Mu Anan looked at Zong Zhengyu.

In the next second, Mu Anan was pulled by Zong Zhengyu to sit beside him. “Seventh Master?”

“From now on, remember one thing.” Zong Zhengyu’s expression was serious, and his voice was a little hoarse. “You’re not a canary.”

Mu Anan’s expression froze when she heard those words.

Seventh Master’s words were like a knock on Mu Anan’s heart.

She widened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her.

The man held her face and approached her, his breath blowing on her face.

“You’re the most special. You’ve always been the most special.”

“I’ve always known that I’m special. I…”

“But it’s not as a canary, and it’s not like you’re nameless.” Zong Zhengyu thought of Mu Anan’s words. “A canary doesn’t need to work hard to become someone who stands by its master’s side. You’re the lady of Yuyuan Estate.” The man’s voice was low, and he enunciated each word clearly.

It rang clearly in her ears.

At that moment, Mu Anan felt her legs go weak, and her entire body went limp.

All of her senses were enveloped by the man’s aura.

A familiar smell, a familiar feeling.

However, his words were so domineering that she could not react in time.

After much silence, Mu Anan finally barely said the obvious, “You… heard it all. Xiao Jiu and my…”

“So, you were unhappy in the morning because you were called a canary?” Zong Zhengyu did not respond to Mu Anan’s words.. Instead, he asked, “You’re also not happy either that I didn’t let you see the old master, right?”
