His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 2260: Chapter 656: Refusing to Buy Clothes for Elders (4)

Feng Fanghua gave a contemptuous snort, thinking that if that daughter-in-law wants to throw herself at whoever, let her. She, anyway, no longer cares.

”Mom, don’t keep talking about this. As long as my brother likes her, isn’t that enough? And these past few years I’ve set Qin Mu up plenty of times. Think about it, if my brother finds me another sister-in-law, would she be as generous to me as Qin Mu is?”

Mu Qingxin gave Feng Fanghua a little shake.

”Isn’t it just a few pieces of clothing she gave you? How much has the Mu Family given her over the years, do you not know or do I not know? She couldn’t pay that back in her lifetime!”

Feng Fanghua’s face was always cold, and there was no warmth at all when she said this.

”Mom, you keep saying things like this. If Qin Mu hears it, how hurt do you think she’d be? You used to say she was more filial than me, and in the blink of an eye you’ve turned on her!”

Mu Qingxin realized that when it came to anything about Qin Mu, her mother was absolutely unyielding.

”That was then, this is now. If she were still thinking about your brother, still one of this family, of course I’d still treat her like my own daughter. But is she? She even gave the ring back to your brother, and not long ago she told me very solemnly she would never get back together with him. She said she came back this time just to divorce your brother.”

”Really? But what I heard was that they’re getting along just fine as a couple!”

Doubt rose in Mu Qingxin’s mind. In the WeChat group she didn’t dare show her face and speak, mainly because she was afraid Qin Mingzhu would snap at her—she really couldn’t outtalk that mouth of Mingzhu’s—but she still kept an eye on everything in there all the time.

”Then that’s probably just your brother wishfully thinking.”

Feng Fanghua’s eyes grew even colder, and she sounded all the more impatient as she said this.

Jiang Yan shot Mu Qingxin a look, signaling her to drop the subject. Mu Qingxin really had no choice; she thought for a moment, then stood up. ”I made plans to eat out with my brother. We’re heading out!”

”Eating out? The kitchen has already prepared dinner for you, and I’ve already called your dad and your grandfather. They’ll be home soon!”

”It’s not easy for me to come home, and you still won’t let me go see my city? We’re staying a long time this trip. I’ll keep you company tomorrow!”

Mu Qingxin thought to herself, No way am I staying home to eat with you guys. Then she slung her bag over her shoulder, grabbed Jiang Yan, and bolted out.

Jiang Yan was completely helpless with her, but once they stepped outside, he did feel like he could finally breathe.

”This girl, seriously, so careless and heartless. It’s so rare she comes back...”

Feng Fanghua sat on the sofa, so angry her head hurt.

”Ma’am, about dinner...”

”It’s all prepared already, so just cook it!”

The auntie asked from the side, and she gave the order, disgruntled. The auntie hurried off.

As soon as the auntie left, she got annoyed again. The moment Qin Mu comes back, she’s made out to be the villain. Her two kids, not one of them sides with her.

Thinking of Qin Mu’s attitude, she felt that anger rising again. Back then Qin Mu up and left without a word, didn’t care about her child, didn’t want the family anymore, dead set on going her separate ways from Mu Yichen. How did Mu Yichen get through those days? As a mother, when she thinks of the suffering her son went through, how could she easily forgive that daughter-in-law?

The elders had all thought the child could make Qin Mu change her mind, but it turned out not only did they not have the ability to make her come around, even her own flesh and blood couldn’t make her stay. Back then everyone really was thoroughly chilled.

Of course, now, she, Feng Fanghua, is the only one still angry. That father and son pair spends all day disliking her, lecturing her, making her accept Qin Mu, and insisting Qin Mu come to the house for New Year.

If Qin Mu comes here for New Year and people outside find out, they’ll think Qin Mu is really going to reconcile with Mu Yichen. If they end up getting divorced again after that, others will say the Mu Family threw themselves at Miss Qin and she still didn’t appreciate it. The ones losing face then would still be the Mu Family.

After weighing it over and over, Feng Fanghua still refuses to let Qin Mu come live in this house again. As for where she lives outside, that’s not for her to decide anyway. Thinking this, Feng Fanghua leaned back into the sofa and let out a helpless sigh.

But right after Mu Qingxin left with Jiang Yan, Feng Fanghua sent her a WeChat message.

”Bring my grandson and granddaughter back tonight, just say it’s so they can keep Zifeng company!”

After reading it, Mu Qingxin sighed helplessly and said to Jiang Yan, ”Mom wants me to bring Chengcheng and Huanhuan back. What’s the point of all this? If she’d just fix things up with Qin Mu, she could take the kids whenever she wants anyway!”

Jiang Yan chuckled softly and said nothing.

The elders’ thinking may be narrow, but it’s not their place as juniors—especially as a daughter-in-law or a son-in-law—to comment on it.
