Chapter 44: Where Did The Mu Family Get Their Confidence?
Translator:EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor:EndlessFantasy Translation
Dear, if thats 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 theres no other waywe 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 shes 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 wont do anything to her as long as she promises to leave the country, Papa Mu instructed. Get her home, and thats my biggest compromise. She cannot ask for more.
Alright. Ill find her when our baby girl recovers.
Papa Mus spoke as if he was granting Mu Qiqi a great blessing.
As expected of Mu Tangxues 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 Qiqis 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 dont have anything to fear. Even if Mu Qiqi is coming back, your father is sending her overseas. She cant bully you anymore.
Mu Tangxues tears welled and she hugged Mama Mu, sobbing quietly, Mommyyou 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 Lins 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
Dont mind her. Just go. Mu Qiqi simply didnt want to talk to Mama Mu since she could guess that she wanted to talk about Mu Tangxues 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
Its 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 dont want you to come here.
I dont want to come here either, but ask yourself, Zipeidid you really watch over Qiqi? Dont 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 dont 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! Theres 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, Im never going to convince any of you. But Im here today with good news. Mama Mu cut Su Zipei short and relayed Papa Mus 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, dont ask to much. Mu Qiqi would become a rich daughter again when she returns. Why wouldnt she want that? Didnt 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. Weve never once hinted that we want to return to the Mu family.
Youre 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 getsgo back? Can you stop dreaming?
Mama Mu looked at Mu Qiqi, and then at Su Zipeiher own sister now appeared beautiful and noble, unlike her impoverished appearance before.
She certainly could not deny that.
Aunty Mu, youre probably worried about Mu Tangxues attempted suicide, right? I know it hurts your heart, but do you know why she did that?
Thats 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 wont find anyone who doesnt hate her by now.
Theyve even given her a nickname: White Lotus Mu.
Of course, Im guessing you thought I framed her. But its okay for you to bury your head in the sand, since its 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 wouldnt have bothered to waste time with her if she didnt try to get me in trouble. By the way I dont have a sugar daddyif you keep listening to your daughters nonsense without looking at the evidence, shell only hurt you unbearably. Just wait and see if you dont believe me.
With that, Mu Qiqi shut the window. Uncle Lin, please hurry. Im going to be late.
Su Zipei was not bothered to spare another word with Mama Mu either. Please move your car if theres nothing else. Even our Qiqi know to shift aside and not be a roadblockor are you less than a child?
Mama Mu was at once stunned by Mu Qiqis words.
Impossible. Tangxue was always so obedient; she wouldnt do anything embarrassing.
