416 Yang Zi (II)
They reached the hospital in half an hour. They had no time to waste. An Xiulan felt good taking this case as she had to rack her brain a lot which was usually a good thing in her case. She actually felt like a detective solving this case.
"This is Doctor Kang, "The private detective that the firm had hired told them. He was responsible for finding all the information that they needed for this case. He had found out about Mu Wanwan's appointment with a therapist here. "He is taking up Miss Mu's case. Mrs Mu is also with her. Since the doctor did not allow her to stay inside while he was having a session with his client, she is sitting outside the room. The security is tight. You can't get inside."
"If it was up to her, I am pretty sure that she would be sitting inside. Thankfully, the doctors abide by their oath, "An Xiulan sighed.
"Why do I feel like you have personal animosity with Yang Zi?" Ming Jun asked. He did not know why he had this feeling that An Xiulan did not personally like Yang Zi. She never openly expressed her dislike for her but there was something in her tone that was enough to tell him that she had some reservations regarding Yang Zi. As a lawyer who spend more time reading people, he was familiar with the emotions. Thus, he could say that An Xiulan was not a Yang Zi fan.
"Maybe, you are thinking too much, "An Xiulan said with a smile. "I like her music. I was just hearing pretty lies sung by her this morning."
"It's pretty eyes, "Ming Jun corrected.
"Oh?" An Xiulan asked. "Maybe, I was mistaken."
"You really don't like her, "Ming Jun concluded.
"She is hot even at this age, "The private detective added.
"Women at this age are always hot, "Ming Jun grinned. "And she is a celebrity, what do you expect?" He saw that An Xiulan was doing something with her phone while pointing it at him, he asked, "What are you doing?"
"Telling your girlfriend about your thoughts on middle aged women, "An Xiulan kindly smiled.
"You are really mean, "Ming Jun said as his phone rang. It was no one else but his girlfriend who bombarded him as soon as he took the call. He went away to take the call while An Xiulan walked forward. She went to the place where Dr Kang's patients were sitting in the VIP waiting room. There were only three people waiting there and now there was her too. All she had to do was spend some money and use her family's influence to get a last-minute appointment here.
An Xiulan saw Yang Zi sitting on the couch with her eyes glued on the phone screen. She deliberately took the seat on the same couch.
As Yang Zi felt someone sitting next to her, she raised her eyes to find a young woman sitting there. For some reason, the girl looked very familiar to her. However, she could not pinpoint where she had seen this girl. She was certain that she had seen her or heard about her but she could not pinpoint where. And she could tell that she already did not like this girl. But there had to be a reason why she did not like this woman and she only wanted to recall the reason.
A while later, a nurse entered the waiting room. She came with a form and she asked the new patient, "Miss, can I know your full name?"
An Xiulan smiled and nodded her head, "An Xiulan."
Yang Zi's face hardened as she heard the name. Suddenly, everything came rushing to her. She now recalls why she hated this girl. Yes, hate is a big word to use for someone this young but she did not mind using it. Some people were not undeserving of hate and it was this girl.
Yang Zi looked at An Xiulan as the nurse left and said, "You used to go to Jingyuan High?"
An Xiulan inwardly smiled. Someone has a good memory. Good, it would come handy. "Miss Song recognises me?"
"You are lawyer Lu Zhaolin's daughter?" Song Zi asked her.
"Oh, you know my father, "An Xiulan pretended to be surprised.
"I know more about you than you expect, "Yang Zi said with a smirk.
"That's good, "An Xiulan smiled. "I like it when people know about me. I am lowkey but what do I do? It's hard for talented people like me to stay lowkey. What do they say? Diamond shines everywhere."
Yang Zi's face hardened. How could someone be this infuriating? If she sat with this girl for a few more minutes, she was certain that her blood pressure would go up. However, she could not leave this place as Mu Wanwan was still inside and it was an hour long session.
As if An Xiulan was less infuriating, suddenly her phone rang. Yang Zi's eyes fell on the girl's lightened screen. There was a picture of the contact who was calling her. She recognised this boy in an instant. As An Xiulan picked the phone, Yang Zi felt a turbulence in her heart. It was as if she could not breathe. She felt like she was in front of everything that she was running away from.
"Yes, baby?" An Xiulan said in a very sweet tone as soon as she picked up the call. No, she was not intentionally doing it. It all came naturally as she still remembered the sweet time she spent with him in the morning and the night. This was the reason why she was extra happy and romantic.
"Someone is in a good mood, "Han Zixin said from the other side with a huge smile on his face.
"What do I do?" An Xiulan said with a helpless smile. "My boyfriend has made me the happiest woman alive in the world."
Han Zixin laughed from the other side. "Why did you ask me to call?"
"Oh, I forgot that I asked you to call me in the morning. Why are you calling me so late?" An Xiulan asked him. "Now I even forgot why I asked you to call."
"Sorry, Love. I was busy and couldn't take your call, "Han Zixin said.
"Don't apologize for being busy with work. Someone has to work hard to protect us civilians, right, Officer Han?" An Xiulan said.
"Stop being so cute and let me go back to work, "Han Zixin said. "And I love you."
An Xiulan just laughed and disconnected the call but not before reprociating how much she loved him. It was only now she realized that she was sitting close to Yang Zi. She was not going to use Han Zixin to affect her. She was so dumb when it came to Han Zixin. She would forget the world when she was talking to him.
By no means, she was trying to rub salt on Yang Zi's wounds but if she ended up doing that. It was not her fault. And she would not mind if Yang Zi was having a trip down past right now. People should not forget their bad deeds anyways.
"Do you have something to say?" An Xiulan asked as she looked at Yang Zi who was not stopping staring at her. It was a little uncomfortable to be under someone's scrutiny for long.
"Why did he choose you of all people?" Yang Zi said in almost a whisper.
"Because I am beautiful, smart and no woman can love him as much as I do, "An Xiulan said with a smile. She was offended by this question and that was why she added, "Not even the women who gave birth to him."
Yang Zi's eyes hardened. She wanted to cause chaos in the world but she felt like her hands were tied. "If you were Lu Zhaolin's daughter, I would have taught you a crisp lesson."
"I am not just Lu Zhaolin's daughter. I am An Qinyan's daughter too, "An Xiulan smiled. "You may threaten Lu Zhaolin kid but I dare you to say the same to An Qinyan's child."
Was she flexing her family background? Maybe, there was no harm in doing that even though she did not like to throw her weight everywhere she went.
Of course, Yang Zi knew who An Qinyan was. Everyone in this country knew her. She was from a rich family and she had a huge influence in Entertainment circle but An Qinyan was a league of her own. There was no comparison between the two. An Qinyan was no doubt the richest woman in Asia at this moment. Anyone would think a thousand times before raising a voice against her family's child.

A/N: How many of you are still following Billionaire's Marriage of In-Convience? I am most probably picking that book in April. I will still give this book's updates as much as I can as I want to wrap up this project.
