Chapter 44: Where Did The Mu Family Get Their Confidence?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Dear, if that’s true, can the Mu family even show their face in public if someone learns about that?” Mama Mu quickly said. “This is so embarrassing.”

Her first reaction was about saving face, and not about what had happened to her daughter.

Papa Mu snorted coldly and said, “So you actually understand that. But there’s no other way—we have to send Mu Qiqi overseas so that no one would know even if she dies there.”

“But would she listen to us?” Mama Mu asked. “Mu Qiqi has become so arrogant after she’s followed someone else. Would she even recognize us, her own parents?”

“Find her and tell her that we are allowing her to come back, and she would be a daughter of the Mu family just like before. I won’t do anything to her as long as she promises to leave the country,” Papa Mu instructed. “Get her home, and that’s my biggest compromise. She cannot ask for more.”

“Alright. I’ll find her when our baby girl recovers.”

Papa Mu’s spoke as if he was granting Mu Qiqi a great blessing.

As expected of Mu Tangxue’s father, he had probably thought that Mu Qiqi would want to go back to the Mu family, and that her French backer was only helping her with money and would never support her for life.

Only in the Mu family would she enjoy being treated like a rich daughter and live without worries.

Such confidence certainly wasted Mu Qiqi’s insistence of her own standpoint last time!

That was why Papa Mu thought that it was his biggest compromise for Mu Qiqi. She killed her own grandmother in the first place, and, reasonably speaking, should never be tolerated by the Mu family.

However, Papa Mu had to make that difficult choice so that Mu Qiqi did not cause a larger uproar.

“Dear, you don’t have anything to fear. Even if Mu Qiqi is coming back, your father is sending her overseas. She can’t bully you anymore.”

Mu Tangxue’s tears welled and she hugged Mama Mu, sobbing quietly, “Mommy...you guys are the best...”

However, it never crossed their mind that their arrogant idea was a laughable suggestion for Mu Qiqi.

She had said that she was never returning to the Mu family, and that was not a joke.

***

Early next morning, Mama Mu drove to wait outside the little mansion. Once she saw Old Lin’s car, she quickly cut him off since she had now known the look of that car by heart after seeing it a few times.

Once Old Lin saw that it was Mama Mu, he quickly asked Mu Qiqi, “Miss Qiqi...”

“Don’t mind her. Just go.” Mu Qiqi simply didn’t want to talk to Mama Mu since she could guess that she wanted to talk about Mu Tangxue’s attempted suicide.

“Very well.” Old Lin nodded, but just as he was about to accelerate and leave, Mama Mu had got down from her car and block the way again.

“Miss Qiqi...”

“It’s fine, Uncle Lin. Please park the car aside and asked for my aunt,” Mu Qiqi told him, since she was curious as to what tricks Mama Mu had today as well.

She did not have the time to spare if it was a mere argument.

However, she remained in her car before Su Zipei came out, and kept the window tightly shut because she did not want to talk to Mama Mu at all.

Soon, Su Zipei appeared from the little mansion, her face full of rage at the sight of her sister.

“Missus Mu, I have made my stance clear before that I don’t want you to come here.”

“I don’t want to come here either, but ask yourself, Zipei—did you really watch over Qiqi? Don’t you know that she has a sugar daddy? Or are you using her to earn dirty money?”

“You watch that filthy mouth of yours.” Su Zipei shot back angrily.

“So you don’t know?”

Having heard their argument outside, Mu Qiqi finally rolled down her window and asked Mama Mu, “Listening to nonsense from your darling daughter again?”

“She said she read your diary with her own eyes! There’s a man who is showering you with presents and taking you out at night!”

“Rubbish!” Su Zipei quickly retorted. “She goes to bed around nine to ten every night without exceptions. Mu Tangxue could say anything she wants!”

“Whatever, I’m never going to convince any of you. But I’m here today with good news.” Mama Mu cut Su Zipei short and relayed Papa Mu’s decision. “Your brother-in-law has decided to allow Mu Qiqi back to the Mu family, and sent her to study abroad.”

“Good news?” Su Zipei laugh at that. “Who is that good for?”

“Zipei, don’t ask to much. Mu Qiqi would become a rich daughter again when she returns. Why wouldn’t she want that? Didn’t she do all those things because she wants to come back?”

At those words, Su Zipei and Mu Qiqi shared a glance and smiled.

“Where does the Mu family get their confidence?” Su Zipei asked Mama Mu in return. “We’ve never once hinted that we want to return to the Mu family.”

“You’re refusing?”

“Look at Qiqi. She lives in a mansion, eats like royalty, use branded goods, has a chauffeur, and is personally welcomed by the principal in her prestigious school. How is her life better with the Mu family? Everything she eats and wears is more high class than what Mu Tangxue gets...go back? Can you stop dreaming?”

Mama Mu looked at Mu Qiqi, and then at Su Zipei—her own sister now appeared beautiful and noble, unlike her impoverished appearance before.

She certainly could not deny that.

“Aunty Mu, you’re probably worried about Mu Tangxue’s attempted suicide, right? I know it hurts your heart, but do you know why she did that?”

“That’s because she tried to show my diary to everyone, but she was filmed doing so and it was put on the noticeboard. As you know, invasion of privacy is most hated, which is why the whole school is now disgusted by her. You could go and ask, but you probably won’t find anyone who doesn’t hate her by now.”

“They’ve even given her a nickname: White Lotus Mu.”

“Of course, I’m guessing you thought I framed her. But it’s okay for you to bury your head in the sand, since it’s good enough that everyone else knows the truth.”

“Mama Mu, you could ask around in school about how good-natured your daughter really is. Also, stop wasting your energy on me.”

“I wouldn’t have bothered to waste time with her if she didn’t try to get me in trouble. By the way I don’t have a sugar daddy—if you keep listening to your daughter’s nonsense without looking at the evidence, she’ll only hurt you unbearably. Just wait and see if you don’t believe me.”

With that, Mu Qiqi shut the window. “Uncle Lin, please hurry. I’m going to be late.”

Su Zipei was not bothered to spare another word with Mama Mu either. “Please move your car if there’s nothing else. Even our Qiqi know to shift aside and not be a roadblock...or are you less than a child?”

Mama Mu was at once stunned by Mu Qiqi’s words.

Impossible. Tangxue was always so obedient; she wouldn’t do anything embarrassing.
