The Legitimate Daughter Doesn’t Care!

As she incurred Xu Xinduo’s anger previously, mother Mu spoke carefully this time and she looked up to see her daughter’s expression after saying a few words.

Seeing mother Mu’s appearance, Xu Xinduo felt her heart constrict; it wasn’t a heart made of stone after all. She sighed, “Don’t start the business in the city. It’s best if you leave this place and start the salon in another city far from here. Don’t let too many people know about the address as well.”

Mother Mu, “But all of my connections are here…”

Xu Xinduo, “Mu Wenyan is here. After your beauty salon opens, he might go over to stir up some trouble from time to time. You have to start over in a place where he can’t find it. Personal connections can be used to gain experience or supply channels, but don’t risk putting yourself in danger just to maintain those connections.”

After hearing this, mother Mu hesitated for a while. Knowing that Mu Wenyan was indeed someone who would entangle himself in her affairs, she nodded.

“Also, don’t bet everything on one route only; if you lose that route, you will lose everything. You have been at home for many years and you have little or no experience in dealing with many matters, so the risk is still very high. You can still save some money to buy a house, invest and manage the money. Try to open another store— a small one or just rent a store and simply decorate it. You can also make wontons— wasn’t that your family’s business before? That store can be used to save up some funds, so let’s use that as your trump card. Your wontons are pretty delicious after all…”

Hearing Xu Xinduo’s compliment, mother Mu was overjoyed for a moment before she nodded, “Mm, okay.”

Mu Qingyi also sat on the side as he listened without speaking but wholeheartedly agreeing with Xu Xinduo’s proposal.

Xu Xinduo took a quick look at mother Mu before she secretly clenched her fists and released them.

“I can accept you guys. Although it’s really awkward, I can try to have a brother and a mother and I can try to work hard,” After Xu Xinduo finished speaking, she turned her head to one side, looking at the ground before she added, “However, I don’t want to have that so-called ‘real identity’ any longer and I don’t want to change my surname into Mu. Actually, I don’t want us to have a legal relationship according to the laws either…”

That is to say, Xu Xinduo was willing to accept them and was willing to continue this family relationship. However, it would just remain as a friendship as their relationship would not be legalised. If something really happened one day, she would be able to get out of the mess immediately and not have anything to do with the family.

The main reason was that Xu Xinduo didn’t like that father of hers and she didn’t want to be categorised with the likes of him.

She still remained the same as the things Tong Yan talked about the other day— there were things that she wanted once upon a time but couldn’t obtain; but if someone were to give it to her afterwards, she wouldn’t want it any longer.

Who would have thought that mother Mu would agree to this stupid idea, “Yes! As long as you are willing to accept your brother and me, you can do whatever you want. I divorced him so that you can be free with us. It’s fine even if you’re not so restrained; you can quarrel with us and fight with us too. You’re my daughter and it’s normal for a daughter to have some friction with her family, so it doesn’t matter.”

Xu Xinduo bit her lower lip and frowned slightly. She felt like her well-maintained willpower was collapsing little by little.

Mu Qingyi, who had not spoken for a while, suddenly said, “Then, can I call you sister in the future?”

Xu Xinduo let go and replied, “Oh, you can…”

“What about Duoduo?”

“That’s fine too.”

Mu Qingyi had always been indifferent and passive, but he suddenly laughed. Raising the corner of his mouth, his smile was pure and without impurities.
