After breakfast, Su Zipei went to the hotel. Seeing Mama Mu packing up her things, she asked, "What's your plan?"
"I talked to Papa Mu last night. He told me to go home to discuss the divorce agreement. If everything goes smoothly, I want to go overseas after serving the sentence." Mama Mu continued, "The family is ruined. What is the point of staying back?"
She could start anew in a new place. It seemed to be a good solution.
But Su Zipei did not forget her real intention of coming here. "What is it that you wanted to tell me yesterday?"
Mama Mu startled and stopped moving. She turned around and looked at her sister. "Why would I have any secret?"
"I know you. Seeing you act like this, I am sure you are hiding something from me."
Mama Mu laughed, and sighed. "Zipei, I know you are doing this for Qiqi. Even if I have a secret, I cannot tell you now. Once I get the divorce, I will tell you."
"I will wait for you. So, are you going to the Mu family house now?"
"Don't worry, I will bring along my lawyer. Nothing will go wrong. I have had enough with that man." After so many years of marriage, after being a good wife for so long, all she got was scolding and beatings. She had had enough.
"Alright."
It was between Mama Mu and her family, she had no right to go with her.
Moreover, even if Su Zipei really worried about Mama Mu, Mama Mu may not necessarily appreciate it. Although the Mu family had done so many wrongs, Mama Mu had never done anything wrong to the family.
"Then, I shall leave." Mama Mu went to the Mu family's house with her lawyer.
Looking at the door she was so familiar with, she hesitated. But, in the end, she still walked into the house.
Papa Mu was sitting on the couch in the living room. The divorce agreement was neatly arranged on the coffee table.
Mu Group had just started to improve, so he did not want to waste time on Mama Mu. After all, he had sacrificed ten percent of his shares to Mu Qiqi to make her speak up for his company.
"After being married for so many years, I know I have done you wrong in many ways. So... the cheque is here. You can fill up the amount yourself. I will say nothing about it."
Mama Mu could not believe what she heard. She never thought that Papa Mu would comply so easily.
The cheque was real. The agreement was real. Everything was signed and put on the table.
Papa Mu did not try to falsify anything at all. Was it because he had true feelings for Mama Mu?
It was not. Actually, he did this because of what Mu Tangxue told him after talking to Mama Mu on the phone. She told him, "Daddy, no matter what requests that woman puts forward tomorrow, you can just agree to them.
Then, you will go on a business trip and leave the rest to me."
"What if you fail?" Papa Mu did not have full confidence in her.
"Believe me, she is not getting anything from you."
It was because of her promise that he was being so generous. He saw that Mama Mu did not move and so he got up and said, "We were husband and wife for so many years. I do not wish to see you leave. So, I will go now. I am going on a business trip overseas. You can sign the papers and leave."
Mama Mu did not expect Papa Mu to be so...reasonable. Or, was he really feeling that he owed her?
She thought that this man would try to pull tricks. But, he stood up and left the house, just like that.
Mama Mu stared at the divorce agreement and the cheque. Then, she looked at her lawyer, puzzled. "Anyway, it is a good thing. There is no need to trouble you anymore."
