study.

"Dad, is there anything wrong?" Xia Muxi and Qiu Limo walked in together.

"Sit down." Xia Zhengxian was lowering his head at first, and he slowly spoke after hearing the girl's voice.

"Yes." Xia Muxi sat opposite Xia Zhengxian, while Qiu Limo stood aside.

Silence for a while.

"Mi Xi, do you have time tomorrow?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, dad just wants to go out for a meal with you."

"No problem, but if you just eat, it's better to eat at home, so why bother so much?"

“It’s different.”

"Okay, everything is up to your arrangement. Dad treats you, how can I not go?" Xia Muxi smiled.

"I'll come here to pick you up tomorrow."

"Um."

"Then you go down and accompany Nianxi. Li Mo and I have something to say."

"good."

After Xia Muxi left, Qiu Limo didn't know what kind of perspective he should look at the person in front of him.

"Didn't you decide to tell her the truth?" he asked.

"It's all over my mouth, but I still can't say it."

"Since she has to face this, why do you have to make such an excuse? Have you ever thought about how Mu Xi should react if she really sees that person tomorrow?"

"Yuqin just wants to apologize to Mu Xi and ask for forgiveness. There is nothing wrong with this. I believe Mu Xi will try to understand. After all, she has grown up and is no longer the little girl she used to be."

Qiu Limo shook her head helplessly. These are not a matter of time. Her biological mother died at the hands of that woman, and she herself was almost killed by that person. No matter how long it took, she could not let go.

That night, when Xia Zhengxian returned home, the room was bright.

The woman in an apron kept wandering around every corner of the villa, cleaning the room carefully.

There seemed to be something flowing strangely in my heart.

"You don't have to do these."

"Zhengxian, you are back. Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, I'll make it for you now." The woman stepped forward enthusiastically to greet her.

"No need. By the way, I have made an appointment with Mu Xi tomorrow morning, so you can go with me too."

"Really? Is Muxi really willing to see me?"

"I didn't tell her directly that you wanted to see her."

"Is that true? That's right. If I really told Mu Xi that I wanted to see her, she would probably refuse. It would be really hard for you Zhengxian." The woman pretended to be guilty.

"Okay, pack up and go and rest early."

"Um."

The next morning, Xia Zhengxian drove directly to pick Xia Muxi out of the villa. Qiu Limo didn't say anything, but was thinking about something in his heart.

And that woman was waiting for them in the restaurant she had booked in advance.

After the father and daughter walked into the restaurant together, the gray-headed and thin-shaped woman stood up from her seat and looked at them.

When the face that originally smiled, the smile instantly condensed when he saw the woman's face.

Natsuki's feet were fixed tightly in place.

"Dad, that person is Yuqin, right?" Even if he turned into gray, Xia Muxi would not forget.

"··Um."

"Why did she show up here? She was out of jail?"

"Um··"

"What I asked is, why did she show up here? Isn't it a coincidence?"

"Mu Xi, it was arranged by me, because Yuqin wants to apologize to you for what she did, so I will..."

"Dad, it turns out that today you didn't just want to have dinner with me, but you made up this excuse for that woman?"

Xia Zhengxian saw the hatred and hostility in his daughter's eyes, so he had to remain silent.

At this time, the woman had already walked towards Xia Muxi.

"I'm leaving, Dad, I'm so disappointed with you." After saying that, Xia Muxi turned around and wanted to leave. However, her hand was grabbed by the other hand.

"Muxi, don't leave?" The woman's voice sounded behind Xia Muxi.

"Don't touch me with your hand, let go!" Xia Muxi shook off the hand that grabbed her and shouted angrily.

This shout attracted the attention of other guests in the restaurant.

"Mu Xi, this is a public place, okay not to do this? Let's sit down first, then talk about it." Xia Zhengxian said from the side.

"Dad, if you really care about the eyes of outsiders, you shouldn't make such arrangements."

"Mu Xi, don't blame your father. I asked him for it because I wanted to apologize to you, so I asked your father to give me this opportunity." The woman's face was full of self-blame and guilt, and tears were also circling in her eyes.

But in her heart, she wanted to make things bigger, the better.

In the eyes of outsiders, this situation is like Xia Muxi bullying this old and weak woman.

"I don't want to hear the word apologize from a murderer because you are not worthy." Xia Muxi said every sentence with a thorn. Apologize? Don't even think about it!

"Mu Xi! How could you say this? Yuqin also paid a price. Since she sincerely wants to regret it, why can't she give her this opportunity? Isn't the price she paid enough?"

"So? Dad, you won't forgive this woman, right? Or are you and her again? I remember you just told me that you would never let this woman step into the Xia family!"

"Mu Xi, don't talk to your father like this. Zhengxian just thinks that I am pitiful. He will kindly take me in when I see that I am homeless. There is no other meaning." Just make a noise like this and make a fuss.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth, but in just a moment, it disappeared again.

"It seems so."

Xia Muxi smiled.

Amid her laughter, there was disappointment and anger.

"Dad, in the past, I might have done the act of asking you to choose someone, but now, I won't make you embarrassed, because I said before that I will respect your choice. From now on, if you can really let go of everything and really want to live with this woman, it's up to you. But the father-daughter relationship between me and you will end here. This is my attitude, you should understand it, right?"

"Mu Xi, don't do this. Since you don't want to see me and accept me, I will leave Zhengxian immediately! You are his only relative in this world, and you can't refuse your father's! I will leave if I leave! I will take Xiaoxi completely to leave your world! So don't say such words that make your father sad again, okay?"

"Stop pretending, do you think I will believe your nonsense? Dream!"

thump!

The knees made a dull sound of collision with the ground.

The woman just knelt in front of Xia Muxi. She pulled the corner of Xia Muxi's clothes, and tears had already covered her wrinkled cheeks.

"Mu Xi, I beg you. Let's take back what I said just now. Everything is my fault and has nothing to do with Zhengxian. I begged him to help me. It's all me!" The woman cried miserably, begging, as if she was really repentant.

"I said not to touch mine with your hands."

The pale little face became even more bloodless because of its anger. Xia Muxi ignored the woman's begging and stepped out directly.

The woman was caught off guard and lost her center of gravity and fell to the ground.

"Mu Xi, how can you do this!" Xia Zhengxian hurriedly helped the woman lying on the ground up and shouted at Xia Mu Xi.

"Dad, it seems that no matter how long you have passed, you will always be more important to this woman than my biological daughter." The bitterness was so bitter that she was about to vomit.

A thin and so old woman suffered such treatment. The guests on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at Xia Muxi, and some even planned to take out their phones to record everything that happened in front of them.

At this moment, a pair of slender and powerful arms suddenly hugged the trauma-filled girl in her arms, not allowing anyone to peek at the girl's face.

The man was handsome and tall, with a dark green military uniform under his black windbreaker, and his handsome face was as cold as an ice cellar.

Next to him was a chubby little guy. Although he was very cute, his little black eyes were staring at everyone in the restaurant angrily.

The appearance of the man instantly stopped the commotion in the restaurant. Everyone was afraid of looking up at the girl who was tightly guarding him.

"Don't be afraid Mommy, Daddy and I will protect you." The little guy reached out and held Xia Muxina's trembling hand, but his tender voice was full of firmness and strength.

At this time, the woman kneeling on the ground no longer had her eyes on Xia Muxi, but was looking at the father and son who suddenly appeared.

A smile appeared on her face, but this time it was from her sincerity.

"Dad, you guys have finished talking about it?" the man spoke.

"We..." talk? How to talk? From the beginning, we only had to keep arguing.

"This result was also within my expectations. Since that's the case, I will take it back first."

"Wait a minute!" the woman spoke at this moment.

Qiu Limo looked at the woman with a white head in front of her and her face covered with wrinkles.

Maybe she should be allowed to stay in prison for a while. He thought so in his heart.

"What? Is there anything else?" he said coldly.

"I··"

"Bad grandma, do you still want to bully my mommy?" Before the woman could finish her words, she was interrupted by the little guy. Qiu Nianxi stared at the woman angrily.

The woman looked at Qiu Nianxi and immediately stood up from the ground, stretched out her hand to hug him.

Qiu Limo protected the child behind him.

"Although you are Nianxi's elder in theory, I'm sorry, that's just the past. And my child doesn't like being touched by his annoying."

"That's right! Nian Xi doesn't like you at all!" the little guy shouted behind Qiu Limo.

The woman's hands stopped stiffly in the air, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something.
