Mu Ru nodded and looked at Mother Wang. Then, she walked over to her mother.
2She calmly asked, "How is everything at home?"
2Before Du Xinyue could answer, Mu Ru heard Xi Yuancheng's grumbling voice from the living room.
2Xi Yuancheng said, "How can we be okay in this situation? This is all because of you, the jinx. If you hadn't gone to save him back then, he wouldn't have come to our house to propose marriage. If he hadn't met you, none of this would have happened. Xi Muru, you're already married, but you're still causing the family trouble. I really regret not drowning you back then."
2Mu Ru felt extremely uncomfortable.
2Five years ago, she had decided to help a pitiful person lying by the side of the road. Not considering whether he was a good or bad person, she instinctively extended a helping hand to him. Who would have thought that things would turn out that way?
2She glanced at her angry father and worried mother. She did not even refute her father's insults.
2She muttered, "That...does Nangong Xun really want our family to pay him three hundred million?"
2"Of course. Do you think I'm lying?" Xi Yuancheng answered angrily.
2Xi Yuancheng glared at Mu Ru.
2He then said, "Mu Ru, now that you're the first lady of the Dongfang family, and since Dongfang Mo has already taken you in as his wife, why don't you go talk to him and ask him to lend me three hundred million?"
2"Lend you three hundred million?" Mu Ru repeated.
2Mu Ru was so shocked that she took two steps back. She looked at Xi Yuancheng with an incredulous gaze and shook her head.
2Mu Ru said, "I can't go and ask Dongfang Mo to do that. I'm sure he won't agree. He was originally unhappy because I was merely a substitute. He was angry that you asked me to marry him instead of letting Mu Xue go. Why do you think he will lend you that amount? Let's not even talk about three hundred million. I don't think he will lend you even thirty million."
2Xi Yuancheng was stunned when Mu Ru spoke. He felt extremely embarrassed.
2Angrily, he said, "Why did your mother even give birth to you? Other than bringing trouble to the family, you're useless. This is all your fault, and you won't even do anything about it. I've been supporting you for nineteen years in vain."
2Xi Yuancheng glared at Mu Ru.
2Mu Ru coldly looked at Xi Yuancheng.
2She said, "But, Dad, ask yourself this—did you really raise me for nineteen years? When I was born, you despised me and called me a jinx. You wanted to throw me into the river and drown me. Fortunately, my mother, who gave birth to me, felt that it was too inhumane. I am a part of her, and she couldn't bear to do it, so she brought me to Mother Wang and asked her to raise me instead."
2Mu Ru paused for a moment. Without waiting for Xi Yuancheng to speak, she continued.
2"All right. How did I grow up? How much money did you spend for my schooling? It's not hard to calculate. You won't even need a computer or a calculator. For the past nineteen years, I've been working as a servant of this family. I've been working with Mother Wang since I was five years old. Have you ever paid me any money?"
2Xi Yuancheng and Du Xinyue were stunned by Mu Ru's question. They were speechless. They lowered their heads and could not say a word because what Mu Ru said was the indisputable truth.
2They had indeed mistreated her, but how could they be blamed?
She was born with an ugly birthmark, and the fortune teller told them she was a jinx.
