“You suddenly discovered that your daughter is brilliant even though she wasn’t brought up by you. Maybe you realize that even if she isn’t around you in the future, she will still have a good life, aren’t you feeling frustrated?”
Father Mu liked to control the people around him, especially Mother Mu.
When Xu Xinduo came to the Mu villa, he found that she was completely out of his control, so he wanted to beat down her spirit.
He complained over everything little things she did. He wanted to besmirch and belittle her previous life and feel that life with the Mu family was much better.
However, Xu Xinduo didn’t care at all and left the Mu villa. At that time, he felt that Xu Xinduo would suffer a lot after leaving. He felt that when she finally couldn’t endure the hardships of life, she would come back begging them to take her in again.
At that time, Xu Xinduo would no longer be able to complain about the unfairness of her status and would obediently change her surname.
He wanted Xu Xinduo to taste some bitterness before showing her how good the children he raised were, so that she would know how good it was to be around her biological parents.
He also wanted to take care of Xu Xinduo. After all, even if there was no emotional bond between them, they were still connected by blood.
But only on the premise that she had to be obedient.
He was very satisfied with Mu Qingyao’s obedience and wanted Xu Xinduo to be like her.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xinduo was better than the children he brought up.
How was that even possible?!
That half-illiterate old lady brought her up!
She lived in such a bad teaching environment!
How could it be?!
“Did she earn a lot of money?” Father Mu asked again.
Mu Qingyi: “At present, she won around 6000 RMB.”
Father Mu thought a lot before coming to the conclusion that the money Xu Xinduo earned would be enough for her to live for a while. It would be difficult to get her back so he said grumpily: “She has to come back!”
Mu Qingyi raised his eyes and asked, “In order to be a guest at Tong’s house?”
(T/N: Tong Yan’s mother invited Xu Xinduo and Mother Mu after the incident at the birthday party.)
Father Mu didn’t answer.
Mu Qingyi had no appetite anymore. He stood up and pointed at Mu Qingyao before saying: “You can always take her to try it out and ask Madam Yin (Tong Yan’s mother) if she likes her, in case… just in case she is your blood.”
“What the hell are you saying?”
“I’m full.” Mu Qingyi directly left the dining room without even touching his food and went upstairs.
Mu Qingyao didn’t speak the whole time. At that moment, she suddenly shed tears. She wiped them away and quickly put down her chopsticks before saying, “I’m full too.”
After that, she went upstairs to her room from where a faint sound of crying could be heard.
Father Mu was very annoyed: “One of them looked as if I owed him while the other one only knew how to cry all day long. Why didn’t I realise that she was such a crybaby? Moreover, she can’t even compare with the one who grew up in the countryside!”
At this time, Father Mu suddenly realized that he seemed to be angry with his own children, who were better than others in all aspects. He began to doubt his own upbringing.
Mother Mu unexpectedly refuted: “It’s all because of you! This family is now in this situation because of you!”
“Because of me? Do you have no problems at all? A mother who can’t even deal with her own children. Do you do anything else other than going to the beauty salon every day?!”
The couple began to quarrel for a while that evening.
