Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!

Chapter 553: Chapter 596: Investigation Results

Pete was quick with his work. In just a day’s time, by the next morning, he had thoroughly investigated the matters Ye Anxin wanted to know!

Ye Anxin held the folder Pete handed her, looking at the intimate photos inside, and seeing the smile on her mother’s face she had never seen before, she suddenly felt a wave of sadness and bitterness in her heart!

Twenty-six years! She had never seen such a genuine smile on her mother’s face!

It seemed like now she was the happiest woman in the world, and the man beside her was the only one who could give her happiness!

In her memory, her mother had always been melancholy and weathered! However, in these photos, she no longer saw melancholy or weariness on her mother’s face! Under the nourishment of love, her mother appeared exceptionally radiant, always with a spirited and dazzling face that captured one’s gaze.

Looking at these photos, Ye Anxin unknowingly reddened her eyes.

Mu Beiting held her hand, furrowing his brow as he asked, ”What’s wrong?”

Ye Anxin let Mu Beiting’s hand touch her cheek, her small hand on the back of his hand, said sadly, ”Uncle, it’s been twenty-six years! I’ve lived with my mother for twenty-six years, and I have never seen her smile so openly, never seen her so happy and joyful! I... I... I suddenly feel so cruel; my mother has finally found her happiness, yet I have to cruelly tear them apart!”

Mu Beiting said with ambiguous understanding, ”Didn’t you say that happiness shouldn’t be built on others’ pain?”

Ye Anxin nodded, feeling conflicted inside, ”Yes! They are happy now; Xue Rong might be hiding alone in a corner licking her wounds! But... but... I suddenly hesitate, whether I should tell my mother everything! I’m afraid... I don’t want my mother to become the woman who lives in a dark world again! My mother’s life has been too hard! For me to have a complete home, she sacrificed the most important years of her youth!”

Mu Beiting said matter-of-factly, ”Just let Nan Mingchuan and Xue Rong divorce!”

At this, Ye Anxin immediately and excitedly retorted, ”No! If they divorce, then my mother would indeed become the third party who broke up their family, and my father would be the heartless and unjust man! Xue Rong has already lost Nan Jiansi, if she loses my father too, her world will collapse!”

Upon hearing Ye Anxin’s words, Mu Beiting suddenly said, ”People are selfish! Selfish people live more happily!”

”...!” Ye Anxin raised her head, looking at him confusedly.

Mu Beiting pressed his thin lips, speaking with a usual expression, ”If a person considers everyone around her, then she will live very conflicted and painful! Xue Rong has nothing to do with you; she’s even hurt you! Why should you care about her feelings? If your father-in-law and mother-in-law can be together, I have a way to make Xue Rong retreat in the face of difficulties!”

With what he said, Ye Anxin immediately understood what he meant by his previous words.

People are selfish, and Uncle meant that if she could be a bit selfish, as long as her mother can be happy, why bother with others’ feelings or whether they live happily or not!

However, she was not a selfish person to begin with! Although Xue Rong did many hurtful things, in the end, she was also at the end of her rope.

Her daughter is gone, she doesn’t want her husband to be taken away by another woman, she doesn’t want the hard-earned family wealth to fall into the hands of such an illegitimate child, such thoughts are understandable!

So, she doesn’t blame her, only blames her for being a pitiful person too!

Her mother might have led an unhappy and disappointing life, but apart from Xue Rong’s glamorous exterior, she must not be living any better internally!

”Though Xue Rong hurt me, it’s still understandable! Besides, this is an issue of morality and ethics! Never mind, let me think about it carefully! This matter has to be resolved eventually! If it’s not handled before Xue Rong finds out, I’m afraid Xue Rong might do something extreme to harm my mother again!” Ye Anxin sighed. Although her mind was complicated, her determination was very firm.

Father and mother can be together, but the premise is that father must be single!

Father can divorce, but absolutely not reconcile with mother first and then divorce! If he can divorce first and then seek out mother, then it would be completely different!

Mu Beiting nodded, gently said, ”Think it over carefully, call me anytime if you need anything!”

”Okay!” Ye Anxin nodded, forcing a smile, ”Uncle, go to work! Let me stay by myself for a while, think about it carefully, it won’t take long for me to figure it out!”

”Hmm!” Mu Beiting stood up, rubbed Ye Anxin’s head, and then turned around to leave.

After Mu Beiting left, Ye Anxin lowered her head, continuing to look at the photos in her hands! Looking at her mother’s flower-like smiling face, she really couldn’t bear to take her eyes away.

That morning, Ye Anxin locked herself in the room and pondered for a long time!

Approaching lunchtime, Ye Anxin took a deep breath, took out her phone, found her mother’s phone number, and dialed it.

The phone rang for a long time before being picked up.

This time, it wasn’t A Qing who answered, but Ye’s mother, ”Hello... Anxin...!”

Ye Anxin asked, ”Mom, where are you right now?”

Mother stammered, ”I... I’m at home... Why? Calling me all of a sudden, is there something wrong?”

Having been with her mother for twenty-six years, how could Ye Anxin not notice her mother’s unusual behavior!

Even though they were separated by a phone, she could clearly hear the guilty conscience in her mother’s voice!

Ye Anxin pretended she didn’t notice the guilt in her mother’s words, smiled and said, ”You’re home! I have something to discuss with you, I’d like to invite you out for a meal, do you have time?”

Mother exclaimed, ”N-now?”

Ye Anxin still maintained a very casual tone, ”Yes! Is it inconvenient for you right now?”

”Hmm...!” Mother hesitated on the other end, not knowing how to answer.

Ye Anxin pressed her advantage, asking, ”Do you have something planned? If it’s inconvenient, evening works too!”

Mother hesitated for a while, finally nodding and agreeing, ”...I’m free, free! I have time! Come over! Where shall we eat?”

Ye Anxin said, ”Alright then! At the country-cuisine place downstairs! I’ll head out now, you can wait for me there, I’ll be quick!”

”Alright... alright...! I’ll wait for you!” Mother agreed and then hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone from the other end, Ye Anxin suddenly gave a bitter smile.

It seems her mother is with her father again!
