Mu Ru did not wait for them to respond.
2"Okay, Dad, Mom, let's not talk about this. I had been working as a servant and you spent a bit of money for my schooling. How much would you have spent on me in total? I spent only twelve years from elementary school to high school. The average tuition fee is ten thousand a year. At most, you spent only two hundred thousand, including the miscellaneous fees spent on me. However, after I married Dongfang Mo, you were given a check for ten million. You've already earned back what you had spent, with interest. Now, you're saying that I'm useless? Your precious daughter, Mu Xue, must be worth at least 300 million. Let her think of a way to get money for you," Mu Xue said mockingly.
2Listening to Mu Ru's words, Xi Yuancheng was furious. "What are you..."
2Xi Yuancheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He could not help but raise his hand and yell at Mu Ru.
2"Xi Muru, are you trying to rebel against me?"
2Mu Ru looked at Xi Yuancheng's hand, but she did not dodge it. Instead, she sneered and stared at Xi Yuancheng.
2She said, "Fight. Anyway, I'm almost dead now. You always wanted me dead anyway. It won't be too late if you beat me to death now. I'm afraid that if I die, not only will you have to deal with Nangong Xun, but Dongfang Mo will probably ask you for a wife again. When that time comes, will you be able to find someone who will replace your princess-like daughter again?"
2Xi Yuancheng was stunned. His hand froze in mid-air, but he did not let it fall.
Mu Ru sounded harsh. However, it also reminded him that she was not only his ugly daughter, but she was also Dongfang Mo's wife.
2He believed that she was a jinx and a vile spawn and that she was the one who brought such a disaster to the Xi family.
2Ultimately, she was no longer a member of the Xi family. She was already the first lady of the Dongfang family.
2Xi Yuancheng knew that messing with Dongfang Mo's things was like asking for a death wish. Even though Dongfang Mo did not like Mu Ru, he would not allow anyone to mistreat Mu Ru. Mistreating his wife would be the same as mistreating him.
2Xi Yuancheng's mind was racing. He was already in big trouble because he had provoked Nangong Xun. On the other hand, if he provoked Dongfang Mo again, his family would really be in trouble.
2He lowered his stiff hand and tried to calm himself down.
2In a softer tone, he said, "Mu Ru, I'm sorry. I was muddled with anger just now. I've let you down in the past, but I won't treat you like that anymore. I apologize to you. You're now the eldest young madam of the Dongfang family. You're a magnanimous person, so please don't argue with me, okay?"
2Mu Ru was a classic example of a person who was both soft and hard. Xi Yuancheng's harsh and unyielding tone offended her, especially because he also wanted to hit her. She had showed her hard and unyielding personality by answering him in a stern tone.
2However, Xi Yuancheng's temperament had suddenly softened. He spoke in a calmer tone, and he lowered his head to show humility. Mu Ru's heart softened at the sight of her father behaving that way.
2She sighed softly and looked at her mother, who was looking at her with tears in her eyes.
2Mu Ru said, "Father, I really can't be of much help on this matter. Besides, three hundred million isn't a small amount. Dongfang Mo definitely won't lend you an amount that large."
2Du Xinyue suddenly said, "Then, will we only wait until we declare bankruptcy?"
2Du Xinyue started crying helplessly.
2Du Xinyue then turned to Xi Yuancheng.
2In a sterner tone, she said, "It's all your fault. Back then, you always relied on Mu Xue. You have always spoiled her. If you hadn't listened to Mu Xue, and if you hadn't forced Mu Ru to marry Dongfang Mo in her place, these things wouldn't have happened. If Mu Xue married Dongfang Mo and if Mu Ru married Nangong Xun...If we had honored those commitments, we would have been more prosperous..."
