"Don't Mess with My Billionaire Husband"

Chapter 6: Miss An

The housekeeper who had just opened the door was afraid of being reprimanded and complained, "Madam, this woman pushed past me and insisted on seeing Mr. An."

"What woman..." As Leaf Lishi was about to continue, she saw An Zhisu, and her words died in her throat. Her pupils shrank in shock, as if she had seen a ghost, and the tray she was holding fell from her hands.

Crash!

The sound of the teacup breaking on the floor pierced An Zhisu's ears, and she looked at Leaf Lishi with a cold, indifferent expression, reminiscent of how she looked fifteen years ago when she first entered the An family.

"You..." Leaf Lishi finally regained her voice. "When did you come out? How did you get out? Who allowed you to come out?"

"Heh..." An Zhisu let out a disdainful laugh, her eyes gleaming with a hint of amusement. "When I got better, I was allowed to come out. Isn't that what you all said when you sent me in?"

Leaf Lishi's eyes widened. Yes, that was what they said, but how could An Zhisu's illness be cured? Wasn't she supposed to spend her life bearing the label of a mental illness? Why was she out, and why had no one notified the An family?

"What’s all this noise about?" Leaf Lishi, lost in thought, heard her husband’s voice and felt a sudden sense of guilt.

An Zhisu sneered, with clear sarcasm in her tone. "Mr. An is even busier than five years ago. Trying to see you is like trying to climb to the sky."

An Boguan stopped in his tracks, then quickly walked towards her. When he saw An Zhisu’s face, his pupils, like Leaf Lishi's, also narrowed. He instinctively asked, "How did you get out?"

When the same question came from her biological father, An Zhisu felt a sharp pang of bitterness. Her heart felt heavy and painful, despite the satisfaction she had felt when Leaf Lishi asked.

An Boguan realized he had misspoken and quickly added, "What I meant was, now that you’re well, why didn’t the doctor inform me? I would have come to pick you up."

The roomful of housekeepers all gasped.

Father?

They all looked at An Zhisu, and their expressions changed.

The girl, who appeared to be in her mid-twenties, was actually the daughter of their boss. They had worked for the An family for five years and had never heard of another daughter.

"Do I have a father? Perhaps the doctor just forgot," An Zhisu thought bitterly. She knew they would rather she remain in the hospital forever.

An Boguan looked at his daughter’s face, which was still unfamiliar after five years, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself. "It’s good that you’re well. Let’s go home. I’ll have your Aunt Shi prepare your room for you."

Leaf Lishi’s eyes twitched as she forced a smile and said, "Yes, Zhisu, your father has been looking forward to you coming home. I’ll have the housekeeper prepare your room. It hasn’t been arranged since you’ve been away for so many years. We renovated the house a few years ago, but your room was never set up."

An Zhisu knew that "not set up" really meant there was no room left for her. Renovating the house was merely an excuse to throw out her belongings. The housekeepers and servants had also been replaced around that time, otherwise they would have known about her.

"Leaf Lishi, there’s no need to guard against me like I’m a thief, and no need for you to be so insincere in front of Mr. An. I didn’t plan to stay here when I came out. I came to see Mr. An about something. I wonder if Mr. An is willing to take time out of his busy schedule to meet with a minor person like me," An Zhisu said with a tone full of sarcasm, exposing Leaf Lishi's pretense and also taking a jab at An Boguan.

Leaf Lishi was exposed on the spot, and her face turned pale. "You!"

"I don’t have time to go through the motions with you. Save your flattery for Mr. An. He’s more likely to be swayed by it," An Zhisu said with a slight smile, clearly feeling a sense of satisfaction.
