Chapter 229
“But your way to survive is to rely on him. Once the secret about me becomes public, that incompetent man won’t be able to sustain his family business. So you want me to accompany you in being cold and hungry? Do you want me to drop out of school and work to support you?! Although you feel like you thought about everything, you still don’t really understand anything. Haven’t you thought about the future without him? You may have really thought about it but it’s not reliable at all!”
Xu Xinduo really didn’t know how far this woman was under the control of her husband. She rarely had shown that she had thought of resistance, and she was still so naive.
Xu Xinduo’s life had just taken a turn for the better. Would she be dragged down by Mother Mu?
Xu Xinduo didn’t know whether she felt angry or disappointed.
Mother Mu’s breathing stagnated as she heard what Xu Xinduo said.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at Xu Xinduo, but she couldn’t pronounce another word for a long while.
She saw disappointment and boredom in Xu Xinduo’s eyes.
At this time, she deeply realized that her coming to Xu Xinduo proved counterproductive.
“I’m sorry…” Mother choked out, and then quickly wiped away her tears, “I’m sorry, I was too anxious. I will try my best to prepare, and when everything is done on my side, can you give me another chance to meet you?”
“How are you going to deal with it? What do you want to deal with exactly?”
“After I divorce him and become completely independent, I will come to you again. No… Can I visit you often during this period? Duoduo, please, give mom a chance. Mom wants to make up with you.”
Xu Xinduo didn’t want to talk anymore and had the intention of chasing Mother Mu away.
At this time, Yin Hua came down from upstairs and said with a smile, “Duoduo’s mother is here?”
Mu’s mother quickly adjusted her state, but she couldn’t completely hide her appearance. Yin Hua behaved like she didn’t notice it.
Immediately after Yin Hua came over, she stroked Xu Xinduo’s head. She seemed to have realized that Xu Xinduo was in a bad mood and comforted her: “Are you tired from going to school today?”
“It’s okay, but my shoulders are sore.”
“Although it hurts now, it’s good for you in the long run. I’ve prepared something you like to eat. Go eat first. The person I’ve arranged for acupuncture will come over in two hours. You have to finish eating as soon as possible. Your treatment is still underway.”
Xu Xinduo hesitated. Seeing that Yin Hua didn’t mention anything about her and Mother Mu’s discussion, she got up and went to the dining room for dinner.
Yin Hua smiled at Mu’s mother: “Duoduo has a bad stomach and often has dysmenorrhea. I have hired someone to come home regularly to help her regulate her body. I’m sorry I didn’t prepare dinner for you.”
“No, it’s nothing.”
“I am also afraid that Duoduo will lose her appetite when she eats with you. She has a better appetite when eating alone. It is for the sake of children. You won’t blame me, right?”
Mother Mu’s expression collapsed instantly. She was stunned. She never thought that Yin Hua was so good at hurting people.
