CHAPTER 208: CHAPTER 208: NEVER FORGIVE

Jiang Xue gathered her things, then turned to Mr. Mu and expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Mu."

"You’re welcome." Mr. Mu was in a good mood, waved his hand, and then called to the owner at the counter, "Owner, I’d like to order."

The owner brought over a menu for Mr. Mu to order. Since there were only two of them, they didn’t order much. Just a vegetable dish, a dry pot, and a soup.

As for Jiang Xue and the others, they didn’t pay much attention to Mr. Mu and focused on their meal. Although Bai Yuhua had many questions in her mind, she didn’t voice them.

She knew that now was not the time for questions. So she quickened her pace eating and then switched with Jiang Xue.

After her mother-in-law finished eating, Jiang Xue was not shy and handed over Little Reunion to her. As for the jade pendant Mr. Mu gifted earlier, it was already hanging around the child’s neck.

Jiang Xue ate quickly and finished in a few bites. Ever since Mr. Mu appeared, Mu Siwu had lost his appetite a bit.

Once their meal was done, Jiang Xue saw there was still quite a bit of food left, so she asked the owner to pack it up and then settled the bill before leaving. Before departing, Jiang Xue inquired where Mr. Mu was staying and also asked for their names. Although she already knew the connection between Mr. Mu and her family.

But since her father-in-law had not acknowledged it, she couldn’t directly call him out. However, since the other party gave Little Reunion a jade pendant, she felt she should return the gesture.

Mu Siwu didn’t stop Jiang Xue from asking about Mr. Mu’s residence or anything and instead carried the child and left first.

After they left, Mr. Mu put down his chopsticks, no longer in the mood to eat.

Back at the new home, Jiang Xue saw that Little Reunion was already asleep, held him into the room, and placed him on the bed. Just as she was about to lie down with Little Reunion, she heard Mu Siwu’s voice.

"Xue’er, come out for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue left the room and sat down in the living room.

Bai Yuhua sat beside Jiang Xue, gave Mu Siwu a look, and said, "Old man, is there something you can tell us now?"

Mu Siwu glanced at the two of them and took a long moment before speaking. Originally, he didn’t want to tell them these things, intending to keep them buried in his heart, to take them to his grave.

But today, since they met, he had no choice but to tell them, to prevent them from overthinking.

Mu Siwu slowly revealed the secrets in his heart, leaving Bai Yuhua and Jiang Xue in shock. Only now did they learn that Mu Siwu’s identity was not as simple as it seemed.

He implied that he was the eldest son of the main branch of the Mu Family in North City. Due to certain events, he left North City decades ago with his mother and settled here in Xu City.

The most surprised by Mu Siwu’s words was Bai Yuhua. She had been married to Mu Siwu for decades, yet she never knew he had such a distinguished background.

He was a rich family’s eldest son, yet now he was no different from a rural person, having farmed for decades.

If she hadn’t witnessed it herself, she wouldn’t have believed it no matter what.

"Dad, what do you plan to do?" Jiang Xue fell silent for a moment after hearing Mu Siwu’s words, then asked.

"What else can I do? He caused your grandmother’s death, I will never forgive him. However, if you want to have contact with him, I won’t stop you, it’s your freedom. Besides, associating with him also has its benefits."

Mu Siwu didn’t stop Jiang Xue and the others from interacting with Mr. Mu because of his own feelings. This was also why he previously didn’t prevent Jiang Xue from asking for the other party’s address.
