"Dear, if that's 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 there's 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 she's 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 won't do anything to her as long as she promises to leave the country," Papa Mu instructed. "Get her home, and that's my biggest compromise. She cannot ask for more."
"Alright. I'll find her when our baby girl recovers."
Papa Mu's spoke as if he was granting Mu Qiqi a great blessing.
As expected of Mu Tangxue's 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 Qiqi's 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 don't have anything to fear. Even if Mu Qiqi is coming back, your father is sending her overseas. She can't bully you anymore."
Mu Tangxue's tears welled and she hugged Mama Mu, sobbing quietly, "Mommy...you 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 Lin's 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..."
"Don't mind her. Just go." Mu Qiqi simply didn't want to talk to Mama Mu since she could guess that she wanted to talk about Mu Tangxue's 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..."
"It's 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.
