Chapter 56 : Parents Come to the University

During class, Mu Qianqian couldn’t help but daydream.

After class, Fang Yanran asked with concern, “Qianqian, what’s wrong? You seem to have something on your mind.”

Mu Qianqian propped her face up with her hands, looking troubled.

“Yanran, what do you think it means if a woman makes the first move, but the man is unmoved?”

“Is the woman good-looking?”

Mu Qianqian pointed to herself, “Not really beautiful, just about the same as me.”

“About the same as you, and not considered beautiful? Hahaha, that’s already a top beauty level. I don’t believe any man could stay indifferent, unless he’s Liu Xiahui.”

“But he really did nothing.”

Fang Yanran was certain, “There are only two possibilities.”

“What are they?”

“First, he has someone else in his heart. Second, he has a special sexual orientation and isn’t interested in women.”

Mu Qianqian felt it wasn’t likely the second possibility.

If the older man had a special sexual orientation, he wouldn’t have married her.

The older man was a responsible person and wouldn’t deceive her into marriage.

So… the only possibility left is the first one?

The older man has someone else in his heart?

The thought of this possibility made Mu Qianqian feel a pang in her heart, as if she were being pricked by needles.

“Qianqian, the thing you’re talking about, it wouldn’t be happening to you, would it?”

Mu Qianqian forced a smile, “How could that be? This is about a friend of mine. I’m just asking for her.”

…

Lu Yunxiang had been having nightmares for several days.

She dreamt that the real Lu family daughter had returned, and the Lu family had kicked her out. Overnight, she went from being a high and mighty young lady to a homeless person nobody wanted.

No, she couldn’t just sit and wait any longer.

Taking advantage of Lu Yunbai being at work, Lu Yunxiang secretly sneaked out of the old Lu family residence.

She put on a mask and sunglasses and found Mu Qianqian’s house.

“Who are you?” Mu Father asked warily.

Lu Yunxiang tossed out 100,000 yuan, instantly making all the Mu family members’ eyes widen.

“Don’t worry about who I am. Do the job for me, and this money is yours.”

Mu Mother greedily clutched the money to her chest, “Noble person, just tell us what you need done, and we’ll make sure it’s done!”

“Go to the Finance University and cause a scene to get Mu Qianqian expelled.”

“Mu Qianqian is at the university? How is that possible? That worthless girl couldn’t afford the tuition, so she must have been expelled long ago.”

“Just go, or else this 100,000 yuan…”

Mu Mother quickly said with a flattering tone, “Alright, alright, we’ll go. That worthless girl must have found some money to pay the tuition, if she has money, she should have brought it home. It’s a shame we raised her!”

Mu Father’s eyes were filled with a cold, calculating look.

“Perfect. If we bring her back, we can also contact her husband and get the bride price from him.”

Killing two birds with one stone.

“Husband? Mu Qianqian has a husband?” Lu Yunxiang asked eagerly.

“Yes, though he’s a cripple and much older than her. But he paid the bride price and was determined to marry her despite her blindness. Who would have thought she’d be so ungrateful as to run away? A girl staying outside, who knows what kind of wild man she’s fooling around with.”

Lu Yunxiang’s lips curled into a vicious smile.

It’s like finding something you’d been searching for with great difficulty but getting it effortlessly!

She hadn’t expected Mu Qianqian to be married already, and to a crippled old bachelor!

“Very well, you should bring her husband along to make a fuss. I want Mu Qianqian’s reputation to be in tatters so she can never show her face at the Finance University again! If you handle this well, I’ll give you an extra 100,000 yuan!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Mu’s parents would have been willing to kneel before Lu Yunxiang.

That’s 200,000 yuan, and with the bride price, it’s a total of 400,000 yuan!

If they could get this money, combined with the previous extortion of one million from Old Lady Fu, they could buy a house for their son and find him a wife!

Mu Mother, with a flattering smile, said, “Thank you, benefactor. You’re truly a living Buddha. I see you’re blessed by your looks, unlike our worthless daughter, who is born with a wretched fate. It’s already fortunate that someone wants her; she even dares to be picky!”

Lu Yunxiang looked down on the Mu family’s poverty.

However, Mu Mother’s words that belittled Mu Qianqian and praised Lu Yunxiang still pleased her.

Lu Yunxiang’s eyes flashed with malice, “A wretched fate like hers belongs in a poor family like yours. Don’t foolishly try to take what belongs to others.”

Mu Qianqian, get out of Bei Cityquickly!

…

During class, a leaf fluttered down onto Mu Qianqian’s desk.

She picked it up and tore it into small pieces.

“Does Mr. have someone he likes, doesn’t have someone he likes, or has someone he likes…”

Fang Yanran noticed Mu Qianqian’s mouth moving continuously and asked curiously, “Qianqian, what are you doing?”

“Nothing, nothing.”

Mu Qianqian blushed, gathered all the pieces of the leaf, and stuffed them into her pocket.

After school, as Mu Qianqian and Fang Yanran were near the school gate, they heard a commotion.

“What’s happening?”

Fang Yanran said, “It looks like someone is trying to force their way into the school, and the security is stopping them.”

A burly woman with a thick waist was shouting angrily, “Let us in! We’ve told you we’re the parents of students, so why won’t you let us in?”

The security guard explained in a gentle voice: “This is the school’s rule. If you want to enter the school, call the child first and ask her to come out and pick you up.”

Mu’s mother’s face turned purple and she yelled at the top of her voice “That bitch didn’t answer our calls, how can we get her to come out and answer them? Let us in first, and when we find her, her father will beat her in the face!”

Mu’s parents followed Lu Yunxiang’s instructions and went to the gate of the University of Finance  to cause trouble.

They also brought with them an old farmer with a limp.

The man had a sunken face and squinted eyes. He looked at the young female students walking around him in a lewd manner, which made people feel sick.

The security guard had never seen such unreasonable parents and immediately looked suspicious.

“Are you really the student’s parents? How can you say that to a child? Call the child again. If no one comes to pick you up, I can’t let you out.”

How can a parent insult their own child like this? They call him “slut” or “slut” just like a shrew in the countryside.

The security guard couldn’t risk letting them in, if they harmed any students, it would be their responsibility.

Mu Father stood by, smoking a cigarette and allowing Mu Mother to make a scene, his murky eyes flashing with countless calculations.

Suddenly, he saw Mu Qianqian approaching.

“Is that Qianqian?”

After some time apart, Mu Qianqian had changed so much that Mu Father barely recognized her.

The old Mu Qianqian had been thin and small, like a twig.

Now, she was slender and graceful, with a rosy complexion and a poised demeanor, like a pampered young lady from a wealthy family!

Mu Mother followed his gaze and her eyes immediately filled with venomous resentment.

“That’s definitely that worthless girl. She sees her parents coming and doesn’t even call anyone. How uncultured!”

Hearing that voice, Mu Qianqian felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She was all too familiar with Mu Mother’s voice.

The harsh, abusive tone had been part of her life for over a decade and had become a psychological shadow.

Mu Qianqian instantly felt a cold shiver and tried to drag Fang Yanran away.

“Yanran, let’s hurry and leave…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Mu Mother had already run up and slapped her.

With a sharp “smack”—

Mu Qianqian felt a searing pain on her face.
