Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Grief, None Greater Than Death of the Heart

These days, it’s all about money, power, and status. For a girl, it’s not about doing well but marrying well!

If love could be eaten, the poor chaps wouldn’t be eternally single.

Anna is still naive about the ways of the world. Everyone aims high and water flows low. How could a young miss from the prestigious Mo family stoop to marry some penniless Joe?

With this thought in mind, she grabbed Caihua again and whispered in her ear, "Caihua, you need to be more attentive, Anna’s emotional state is unstable."

"Don’t worry Aunt Lin, I grew up with Sister Anna. Her issues are my issues!" Caihua declared solemnly, knowing that holding onto the Mo family’s coattails promised a bright future.

Indeed, as she had hoped.

Lin Hongxia once again spoke in a mysterious undertone, "Mr. Mo mentioned that one of the section chiefs in your department was transferred out. They’re looking for a successor, and I think, Caihua, that you’d be perfect for the job."

"Hee hee..."

Caihua’s grin was as broad as if she had eaten honey, "Aunt Lin, even if I go without food today, I’ll make sure to take care of the matter you’ve entrusted to me."

"Off you go!" Lin Hongxia commanded, waving her hand dismissively.

Caihua nodded and bowed before turning back to the fifth floor and entering Mo Anna’s room.

She only saw Mo Anna standing alone by the window, clad in a fiery red bridal gown, her face frosty and cold as she watched the Mo family members.

"Is this what it means to sacrifice the small family for the greater good? Every single one of them, they just see me as a pawn."

"Hmm?"

Caihua entered and felt a chill in her heart. Her cheeks flushed red with the realization that not only the Mo family but she herself was counting on Anna for promotion.

However, she felt a twinge of inner conflict. After all, they were best friends, and a hint of guilt lingered at the back of her mind.

"Anna, how wonderful a person is Xie Anfeng. I don’t even have that luck. As the young mistress of the Xie family, once you take over the house, your power will be boundless."

"Hmph!"

Mo Anna turned around, her expression blank as she looked at Caihua and said indifferently, "Some people prefer to cry in a BMW, but me, I’d rather laugh on a bicycle."

"Anna, though I don’t know who your heart yearns for, he must be an outcast." Caihua advised softly, going on to say, "There’s an old saying that’s true, living under the same roof, there are neither beauties nor heroes! When you’re toiling away for daily necessities, and you recall Xie Anfeng’s virtues, it will truly be too late."

"You make a good point!"

Mo Anna didn’t even glance at her, returned to her armchair, closed her eyes, and said coldly, "You may leave now, rest assured, I will not take my own life."

...

"Crackle and pop..."

The sound of firecrackers erupted at that moment, and the Western band marched in neat formation, playing their instruments with robust vigor.

"Ooh wah ooh wah..."

The sound of suona instruments joined in, creating a harmonious yet contradictory mix of Eastern and Western traditions.

Mo Yan Country stepped forward to greet them, and behind the band, Xie Anfeng was seen seated on a horse-drawn carriage.

At that moment,

Xie Anfeng became the center of attention. He, the eldest son of the Xie family, bore the future of the Xie family and was the target of everyone’s flattery.

He held a ceremonial stick, took off his hat, and nodded to the crowd with a gentlemanly smile.

The crowd parted ways, creating a pathway for Xie Anfeng as he made his way towards Mo Anna’s bedroom.

Xie Anfeng inclined his body towards Mo Yan Country and said warmly, "Father, is Anna ready?"

"Everything is fine, all is well!"

Mo Yan Country quickly pulled out a plump red envelope, handed it to Xie Anfeng, his face beaming with joy.

Xie Anfeng accepted it calmly; he knew it was a token fee, something that elders ought to give.

Then, with a slight nod, he ascended towards the fifth floor, entering Mo Anna’s room amidst the surrounding adulation.

"Hmm?"

What met his eyes was a desolate Mo Anna sitting, holding a small pair of scissors in her hand, caressing them thoughtfully, her intentions a mystery.

Lin Hongxia saw that and immediately walked over, anxiously saying, "Oh my, my little ancestor, on this auspicious day, what are you doing with a sharp object? It’s inauspicious. Give it to me!"

"Hehe..."

Mo Anna replied with a wretched smile, calmly saying, "The road ahead is long and lonely, trimming my nails is just a way to pass the time, why worry?"

"Er..."

Everyone fell silent, inevitably thinking of the tragic women from ancient blood-stained weddings.

Could it be that Mo Anna intends to follow in their footsteps?

Xie Anfeng’s brows twitched wildly, his gaze turning cold, but it was fleeting, and he quickly adopted a very gentlemanly tone, "Anna, stop fooling around, let’s get going!"

"Sure!"

Mo Anna slipped the small scissors into her sleeve and gracefully stood up, not even glancing at Xie Anfeng, and walked away on her own.

Watching her receding figure, Xie Anfeng’s mouth twitched. Was this the same hearty and magnanimous Sister Anna? Why did it feel like she had become a cold beauty who could slap you in the face?

It must be that Xiao Zheng, damn it next door, what methods has he used to make Sister Anna so deeply in love?

"Once having been through the vast ocean, can any other water impress, except for the waters from Mount Wu that are not clouds?"

Shit, I don’t believe it. Even if you turned into an eternal ice mountain, I, this young master, will make you flow like a gentle stream.

On the wedding night, everything will be set in stone, and you will be the Xie Family’s young mistress!

He sneered and also stepped out, walking beside Mo Anna, nodding to friends and relatives.

At this moment.

Mo Anna was seriously observing every one of the clan members, watching their laughter, their joy, and their cheers.

Each of the clan members felt uncomfortable under her intense gaze, unable to withstand the icy scrutiny, and they all lowered their heads.

"Second Uncle, what’s going on? Anna seems very abnormal, her eyes even have pity in them. Is she pitying us?"

"That’s right, this girl has become the Xie Family’s young mistress; in the future, we all have to curry favor with her and rely on her whims."

"No, that’s not right! It feels like she’s saying goodbye to us, with both reluctance and anger."

"Psh, is it just a goodbye? The daughter who is married off is like the water that’s been splashed out; she will be a member of the Xie Family from now on."

"..."

"Huh!"

Having observed the Mo family members, Mo Anna turned her head to look at her parents.

After a long time, she took a deep breath, turned her head away, quickened her pace, climbed onto the horse carriage, held the handle, and closed her eyes.

Xie Anfeng waved at the Mo Family members and loudly said, "To the hotel banquet hall!"

"Yes, young master!"

The horseman cracked his whip, and the steed galloped away, disappearing from everyone’s sight, growing more distant by the moment.

As the carriage jolted, Xie Anfeng hurried to support Mo Anna, but his hand was knocked away by her.

This... damn it.

A flash of rage crossed Xie Anfeng’s eyes, which he quickly subdued, looking at Mo Anna’s tightly closed eyes, her face full of determination.

"Alas, is there greater sorrow than a dead heart?"

That was the feeling, undoubtedly correct!

Could it be that she would rather perish like a wisp of fragrant smoke than give me a chance to kiss her?

A sense of unprecedented defeat emerged in Xie Anfeng’s heart!

No!

Even if you want to die, you will do so only after I have had you!
