Chapter 228
Mother Mu’s attitude was very formal and treated the servants politely. After sitting down, she looked at Xu Xinduo and asked, “Are you used to living here?”
“Well, it’s better than the Mu family’s villa. They treat me very well and they respect me.”
These words made Mother Mu feel uncomfortable: “Oh… that’s good.”
Xu Xinduo deliberately didn’t ask Yin Hua to come down. She wanted to know why Mother Mu came here. Whether it was to meet Yin Hua or persuade Xu Xinduo to return with her.
She took a sip of her black tea and asked, “Is there something wrong?”
Mother Mu looked around and noticed that there was no one around. She finally calmed her nerves and said, “I was just worried about you. I was afraid that you would be in some sort of danger or have a bad life if you lived away from us.”
“You don’t need to worry about that. As long as I am not in the Mu’s house, I will be safe and no one else will bully me.”
“Hmm… I know that you were wronged there. I also feel that if I were you, I would also feel the same right now.”
“Then don’t contact me again.”
“I don’t want to persuade you to go back. I want to ask you something.”
This statement surprised Xu Xinduo. Could it be that she wanted her to live at Yin Hua’s place and maintain a good relationship with the Mu family at the same time, so that she could benefit from Tong family?
Wasn’t that disgusting?
However, what Mother Mu said next caught Xu Xinduo off guard: “If I divorce your father, would you come to me?”
Xu Xinduo was really surprised. Looking at Mother Mu, she sneered and then asked: “What’s the matter? Did my return disturb your marriage? Not only did I almost bankrupted the Mu family, but also break your relationship? Am I going to be blamed for this too?”
“It was only after you came back that I finally came to the decision that I can’t continue this marriage. It was still fine before when it was peaceful. However, now that things have become somewhat rough, his personality has turned even worse. I can’t stand him anymore. I want to divorce him. After the divorce, I hope you can come to me. I don’t know you at all. You know so many things, but I don’t know anything…”
Listening to these words, Xu Xinduo was a little agitated. She picked up her tea cup and took another sip.
She didn’t want to see Mother Mu as she had no feelings for her. Now when Mother Mu said those words, it only made Xu Xinduo even more upset.
Mother Mu also knew that it was abrupt to say all of this, but she continued. She knew that if she missed this chance, it would be difficult to see Xu Xinduo again.
“Duoduo, I know that I’m not a good mother. I was too cowardly to protect you some time ago. My heart has been feeling uncomfortable all this time. After you left, this feeling increased by several folds. You are my own flesh and blood. I can’t do without you.”
“And?”
“I will get some family property and alimony after divorce. This money will be enough for us mother and daughter.”
Xu Xinduo suddenly began to feel itchy in her posterior molar. It was unknown whether it was the result of her current anger.
She began to sneer, finding everything so absurd.
