Unexpectedly, Xu Xinduo suddenly put down her chopsticks and said indifferently, âMother is being too serious. Grandma has treated me well. The grievances I suffered in previous years are not as much as those in the past few days.â
The scene immediately became quiet.
Father Mu and Mother Mu became particularly embarrassed. Father Mu coughed and said, âHave we wronged you? Didnât we make the best arrangement for you after you came?â
Xu Xinduo still remained calm. She had seen the nonchalance under the guise of affection. Just because she seemed indifferent didnât mean she was blind to it all. Even so, she replied softly. âI understand that youâve maintained your affection for me all these years. Although I donât care about identity, it still disappointed me. The disappointment in my heart will never change. Itâs already etched deep in my heart and is beyond recompense.â
Father Mu banged his fist on the table: âItâs just an identity nothing more. Is it so important to you?â
âIt doesnât matter as I donât care about it. Perhaps I was too impatient⦠Forget it; it doesnât matter. You just be happy.â
Father Mu âs words contained a little more anger: âWeâve already promised that we will be even more kind to you in the future. What else do you want?â
Xu Xinduo lowered her eyes and said with an indifferent expression, âItâs good that you will be kinder to me. However, I also understand that itâs all for the sake of getting spiritual relief and convincing yourself that what you have done is right. Well, Iâm not disappointed. Iâm pleased. Thank you.â
When Xu Xinduo finished speaking, she stood up and walked upstairs without even eating.
Father Mu was so angry that he pointed to the departing Xu Xinduo and said to the other two children, âLook at her attitude. Just as expected, she wasnât raised properly. She has no manners at all.â
Mu Qingyao immediately persuaded: âDad, donât be angry. We donât know her well.â
Mu Qingyi looked at the dinner in front of him and suddenly felt that the food was tasteless.
Mu Qingyi put down chopsticks and said, âIf you have treated her fairly and given what identity she should get from the very beginning, I think, she wouldnât have such an attitude. There wasnât any problem with her manners when she said that.â
Father Mu trembled in anger: âWhat do you mean?!â
Mu Qingyi sighed: âShe is just a little disappointed.â
Mu Qingyi then stood up and said, âIâve finished. Iâll go back to studying.â
After saying that, he left and went upstairs.
After both of them left, no one continued to eat.
Mu Qingyaoâs eyes seemed to be trembling. She began to feel uneasy. She was not sure who Mu Qingyi favored most.
If Mu Qingyi supported Xu Xinduo, what could she do?
âNo way.â
âAbsolutely not!â
Xu Xinduo went to the kitchen to drink water at night.
She walked into the living room and saw Mu Qingyi sorting out his suitcase. She ignored him and went straight to drink water.
On the way back, Mu Qingyi suddenly stopped her: âHave you chosen?â
âWhat?â
âA gift.â
Xu Xinduo came to have a look and touched the suitcase with her foot: âI want this suitcase.â
âWhat do you want this suitcase for?â
âPracticality.â
âOh.â
Mu Qingyi gave the suitcase to Xu Xinduo and carried a rabbit with several other things upstairs.
When Mu Qingyao chose a gift, Xu Xinduo once looked at it. There seemed to be no rabbit at that time. Itâs a little frustrated looking rabbit with a pink tongue and drooping ears.
Did he just get it?
Or was she overthinking?
