“We’ll discuss this when we get back. Qingxuan’s health is our top priority right now.” Looking at the man with a face as dark as night, Qi Huiyin cursed in her heart. However, she would still fight tooth and nail to defend herself… She would not let herself be defeated by some brat.
“Qi Huiyin, we’ll get a divorce after we leave the hospital.” Mu Xigui said coldly, ignoring what Qi Huiyin said.
She was so shocked she almost lost her balance. Her voice trembled as she spoke.
“Old Mu, are you really going to divorce me because of a few words from an outsider?”
“An outsider? Qingxuan is an outsider?”
“Qingxuan likes this soldier! Can’t you tell? She’s colluding with him to slander me. Can you really trust what she says?”
“Qi Huiyin, I’ve said before that my daughter is the most important person in this world to me. I only married you to serve her needs. So, whether she’s intentionally slandering you or not, if I see her clearly displaying her disdain for you in my presence, I’ll divorce you, even if we’ve been married for 35 years, let alone 15!”
Qi Huiyin staggered backward and fell into a chair, her face as pale as a ghost.
“Dad, how could you do this? Mu Qingxuan is your daughter, but I’m not?”
After all, Mu Qingling was the daughter that they had raised for 15 years. Mu Qingling was only two months younger than Mu Qingxuan, and she was still a young lady. Mi Xigui explained, “When we first got married, I told your mother that I would only treat you as my daughter if she treated Qingxuan as her own daughter too. All these years, I’ve given you my surname and everything else Qingxuan got—but what about your mother? How did she treat my daughter in return? Since she clearly can’t play fair, how can you blame me for protecting the interests of my daughter above all else? After all, my daughter is the only person in this world that can continue my bloodline.”
Mu Qingling, “…”
The mother and daughter pair’s tears instantly started rolling down their cheeks.
“Qingxuan, please talk to your father. All these years, I’ve treated you so well. You know that Qingling didn’t have a father figure as a young child until your father came along. I and my family did our best, but there was only so much we could do. At that time, both of you were little kids. Qingling had never seen so many of the fancy things you owned, so she wanted them too. Is there anything wrong with that? You can’t ask your father to divorce me just over some small things that happened when you were young! It was not easy for Qingling to adjust to having a home and a father. Could you bear to see Qingling become an orphan just like this?”
“She’s already 18 years old. Can she still be called an orphan?”
“Shut up!” Qi Huiyin roared angrily.
“You think I’ll shut up just because you want me to? Who do you think you are? You’re about to become nothing more than a second cousin, yet you’re still so arrogant!”
Mu Qingxuan sat on the bed and listened to Ning Wenhao rebuke Qi Huiyin. She recalled the time he stood up for her and scolded Qi Huiyin when they were young, and could not help but burst out in a fit of laughter.
Ning Wenhao glanced at Mu Qingxuan and thought of the feeling he had felt just now. He could not help but rub Mu Qingxuan’s head, even though they were right in front of Mu Xigui.
When Mu Xigui saw this, his already dark expression instantly turned even grimmer.
This damned brat!
Was this boy trying to take advantage of his precious daughter right in front of him? Did the boy not care that he was present?
Just as he was about to really rage, he saw Ning Wenhao look at him and say, “Uncle, the woman you married is very vicious, and her daughter is even more vicious. There’s this poor kid in the little girl’s school named Ling Xuyao…”
