The Legitimate Daughter Doesn’t Care!

The general meaning was that Tong Yan was in love with Mu Qingxin, but they hoped that her marriage contract could be cancelled as it wouldn’t work out to have it still exist. Otherwise, the Tong family would be placed in a difficult situation since they definitely wouldn’t want him to be the ‘mistress’ of the family.

Mu Wenyan was entangled in his heart, but he never finished those words of his. After hearing the conditions put forward by Yin Hua, he still said that he would reconsider for a moment.

After Yin Hua left, Mu Qingxin told Mu Wenyan that Shen Zhuhang was willing to step back from the engagement.

Mu Wenyan’s eyes lit up after hearing this, as if he felt that the matter could be solved with the best of both worlds.

After that, Mu Qingxin felt that the reversal of things was a bit miraculous. The marriage contract that she had always regarded as a headache was suddenly cancelled.

On the Shen family’s side, Shen Zhuhang said that he didn’t like Mu Qingxin. The Shen family felt very indebted to them, so they apologised to Mu Wenyan and invited him to dinner.

Here, the Tong family also gave Mu Wenyan a bunch of benefits, which made him very happy.

This also made Mu Qingxin very disappointed.

Sure enough, in the eyes of this father, his daughter’s happiness in the second half of her life was entirely less important than his immediate interests. It could be cancelled at any time as long as the benefits from the engagement could still be guaranteed.

Mu Qingxin’s heart froze instantly.

Mo Yinxun keenly observed Mu Qingxin’s mood and also quarrelled with Mu Wenyan because of this, proposing a divorce between them.

This time, her parents probably couldn’t avoid the possibility of divorce any longer.

After the goal was achieved, Mu Qingxin specially invited Tong Yan to have a meal and he went happily.

He rarely chatted during dinner, so he told Mu Qingxin one thing frankly before eating, “We can’t announce our breakup within this short time.”

“Why?”

“Wouldn’t it be too fake if we just break up coincidentally after I helped you settle the matter? Besides, my mother had come forward already. With me just breaking up now, do you not think that she will hammer me to death?”

Mu Qingxin thought about it too before she nodded and agreed, “Mm, okay, I understand.”

“You also have to behave naturally. Did you know that Li Xinning from your class is chasing me?”

“Really?” She really didn’t know as she was sorting the tableware in front of her.

“You have to know and even help me get rid of those suitors. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense if I helped you out for nothing when you can’t do the same, right?”

“Okay, I’ll deal with her on Monday.”

Tong Yan listened to her saying that she would solve it. Thinking of himself as a golden horse that everyone wanted, he proudly asked, “How do you plan on dealing with this?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it nicely.”

Tong Yan nodded, “Alright then.”

After the two of them had eaten together, Mu Qingxin planned to leave directly, but Tong Yan grabbed the corner of her clothes and asked her, “You’re going to leave just like that?”

“Yes.”

“You even said yes? Are you just playing around? Do you not think that we should stay longer?”

“But aren’t we just pretending?”

“Do you have any professionalism? We are pretending to be couples, but if we haven’t dated and don’t even have any couple photos, would you buy our fake lie? Just listen to me— my mother is an actress and I have experience as well.”

Mu Qingxin took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.
