The Legitimate Daughter Doesn’t Care!

After the two people left, Xu Xinduo looked at Mu Qingyi and whispered, “I heard about it previously, but I didn’t expect it… Well that was quite fast, I thought they would have prolonged the matter a little longer.”

“I know that mother went to see you last time. She cried for a long time after she came back, and then she went to live with a friend as if she had made up her mind, but did not come home at all during the New Year’s. And I don’t know what sort of methods she used, but she managed to convince father into giving his consent for the divorce. They were wrangling about it for so long before, but suddenly they came to an agreement and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau on the same day.”

“They are husband and wife after all; there was bound to be some sort of lingering feelings for each other.”

Mu Qingyi was not interested in these sorts of matters and just said, “Even so, mother’s condition has not been very good recently. I want to ask you, can you visit her?”

“Visit her? I don’t see myself saying good things in front of either of them. You do know that seeing her might very well make things worse.”

“You might be her last hope?” Mu Qingyi looked at Xu Xinduo before he suddenly couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “She is indeed not a very good mother and I was very angry when I saw the situation at home at that time. But she had already made an effort to change, can you… encourage her a little bit? I’m just afraid she’s going to end up like Qinghe’s mother… having mental problems.”

Hearing these words, Xu Xinduo suddenly became silent.

After she left, Mu Qingyi also never sought her out intentionally— this was the first time he came to her so solemnly.

Xu Xinduo knew that it would be awkward for him to be stuck in the middle, so he simply portrayed a ruthless appearance. If something happened, Mu Qingyi would not be blamed by the family and could just be let off as having a ‘nonchalant temper’.

Now that Mu Qingyi had also spoken, the Mu family’s mother had indeed worked hard for her. However, she still felt slightly overwhelmed.

“I’ll think about it,” Xu Xinduo replied calmly.

Mu Qingyi also nodded. It seemed like he wanted to say something more, but in the end, he held back his words.

Xu Xinduo was feeling lethargic during the afternoon class. Then, she immediately headed to the company after school hours ended.

It was ten o’clock in the evening when she exited the company. After she took out her phone, she saw Tong Yan’s message: [What happened in the afternoon?]

She would admit that she wasn’t as strong as she initially thought; after she saw Tong Yan’s concerned message, she immediately broke down.

There was a sudden urge to see Tong Yan. Every time she encountered a problem, only he could help her overcome it.

Because it was Tong Yan who knew her best.

She didn’t reply to his message and asked De Yu to drive her to school. Then she stood outside the school fence and proceeded to make a call.

Tong Yan was busy completing the homework for the Advanced Class. It was the first day of class, but he was already contemplating about life with the amount that he had to work on. Even when he answered the call, the pen in his hand never stopped writing, “Hello, are you home?”

“I’m outside the school gates.”

“What the crap?”

“Are you good to come out?”

“Where are you? I have to come out even if I can’t.”
