Chapter 25 - 29: Lost

Chapter 25: Chapter 29: LostAn Ran maintained a mysterious smile. She hadn’t expected that saving someone would have such a big impact, and she truly felt she hadn’t done much. In the blink of an eye, the time had arrived, and An Ran was escorted to the award ceremony site by the team members of the Guard Team.

Team members sat neatly below, and the few rows at the front with large red flowers on their chests were most likely those who had performed outstandingly in the flood rescue efforts. An Ran was led to a seat in the front row center, sitting among uniformed team members, making her appear somewhat out of place. An Ran nervously twisted her fingers and suddenly felt a passionate gaze from behind, but when she turned around, all she saw was a sea of green uniforms, with faces that looked nearly identical. For someone who couldn’t recognize faces well, being tossed among these neatly dressed team members was truly a tragic thing. "Boss, aren’t you going to go over and say hello? After all, she’s your savior." Seeing Mu Xingfeng’s gaze fixed on the young girl, Lin Junyang spoke with a smile. Mu Xingfeng’s face remained indifferent as he ignored Lin Junyang, but his eyes stayed locked on the girl’s unsettled hands. Watching her little hands twisting tightly, Mu Xingfeng surprisingly felt an impulse to rush over and hold her hands. She must be very nervous, very scared. When the girl turned around and looked back in his direction, Mu Xingfeng even curled his lips into a smile, wanting to give the girl a reassuring smile, but didn’t expect to meet her indifferent gaze. It seemed she didn’t recognize him again. No wonder, he remembered how wretched he looked at that time, but still, he felt a small sense of loss in his heart. Soon, it was time for An Ran to go on stage to receive her certificate and bonus. The girl walked onto the stage gracefully, with a sweet smile on her lips, but her tightly clenched hands revealed her nervousness at the moment. The moment she turned around with the certificate, her smile as warm as spring and her uniquely shy demeanor drew thunderous applause from the audience... At this moment, in the Pingxi An Family, An Sijia screamed the moment she saw An Ran turn around: "Mom, come quickly and see." Sun Xuehui, who was tidying up in the kitchen, walked out while wiping her hands: "What do you want to see? Why are you making such a fuss?" "Mom, look, isn’t that An Ran? An Ran is actually a brave and righteous good citizen." An Sijia pointed at the TV and said. "A brave and righteous good citizen? How could it be?" "It’s true. The TV said she saved a flood rescue hero. Mom, what do we do? The government actually rewarded her 150,000 yuan." An Sijia shook Sun Xuehui’s arm as she spoke. "150,000 yuan? That much?" Sun Xuehui was somewhat surprised. "I heard she saved a flood team member and was given 100,000 yuan as a reward, and the other 50,000 yuan was from the local government," An Sijia explained. "Mom, what are we going to do? If she has that 150,000 yuan, forget about tuition, it’s enough for her to finish university." An Sijia pouted and nudged Sun Xuehui again. Watching An Ran speak methodically on the TV, a flame of jealousy ignited in Sun Xuehui’s eyes. This wild girl had such luck; she absolutely couldn’t let this wild girl be above her daughter. "Jiajia, don’t worry, it’s just 150,000 yuan. In a few days, you’ll be going to school, and Mom will go with you," Sun Xuehui had already made up her mind. "But Mom, are we really going to let her go to university?" An Sijia was still uneasy.
