After listening to her, Father Mu let out a ‘tsk’ and said, “These little boys have no personality— the initial curiosity of being liked by a girl formed a good relationship at the start. Then, once they get more familiar and realise that it wasn’t as nice as they thought it was going to be, they can just dump the girl and move on. If she broke up with Tong Yan and the Tong family no longer wants her anymore, she would still have to return.”
Sure enough, the Tong family’s affectionate side was only temporary and there weren’t much benefits from them either. This girl had a good relationship with the Tong family, but in the end, she didn’t get anything good out of it— what a waste of energy and effort.
When the Tong family ignores her and discards her, Xu Xinduo can no longer be arrogant.
Thinking about it, Mu Qingyao felt relieved.
Mu Qingyao suddenly whispered, “However, Xu Xinduo’s relationship with her brother has improved recently. Once, I heard Xu Xinduo call him ‘brother’ and asked him to help her hold onto her books when she went to the restroom.”
“Their relationship is getting better?” Father Mu frowned slightly as he snorted coldly, “Now that we’re divorced, their family of three somehow ended up quite happily; this Xu Xinduo truly doesn’t want the Mu family to live in peace. Now that it’s in shambles, she becomes willing to nurture a bond with them. Ah, in the end, she was brought up by an uneducated old lady, after all.”
Mu Qingyao didn’t know how to respond to that, so she just sat quietly.
Father Mu hesitated for a while before he asked her, “Has your mother contacted you?”
“No.”
“You don’t know where she lives either?”
“No, I don’t.”
“Hmph, she ran a long way, didn’t she? As eager as she was when she asked me for money.”
Mu Qingyao didn’t want to hear it anymore so she said awkwardly, “Dad, I’ll go upstairs first.”
“Can you find out where your mother lives?”
Mu Qingyao paused for a moment and then said, “Brother’s driver is very strict so he wouldn’t say anything, but didn’t he hire a female driver for Xu Xinduo before? I saw her driving Xu Xinduo around a while ago. She must have sent Xu Xinduo to mother’s place before, so how about you ask her about it?”
Father Mu was prompted, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and said to Mu Qingyao, “Okay, you can go up first.”
Father Mu had not been able to contact mother Mu at all since he last saw her, so he felt somewhat unpleasant.
He didn’t know who gave mother Mu the idea, but she threatened him with the kickbacks he used to operate his businesses. These were the things that consisted of falsely reported prices, pocketed a middle portion of rebates and cheating acquaintances.
If this matter was exposed by mother Mu, it would have a great impact on father Mu. Many old partners would have conflicts and father Mu would have to compromise.
But he felt uncomfortable after the divorce; he hadn’t even said anything about the divorce to the outside world. He felt like he wanted to find mother Mu, coax her for a bit and then, mother Mu would inevitably return.
While sending a message to ask for De Yu’s contact information, he received a message from father Shen.
Father Shen: [I’m really sorry, but this matter is too serious and it concerns our reputation— I’m going to have to ask that you take a paternity test.]
Father Shen: [Just prove that Yaoyao is your biological daughter.]
Father Shen: [With that as proof, you can also relish in the fact that Yaoyao is indeed, your real daughter. What do you think about that?]
