Chapter 59: the Xi Family is about to cross over

"Young Madam, it's been hard on you. Quickly go upstairs and wash up. I've made your favorite lion's head dish. You can eat it later," Mother Liu said to Mu Ru.

2

"Thank you, Mother Liu!"

2

Mu Ru thanked Mother Wang softly, and tears welled up in her eyes.

2

She realized that in the whole Dongfang household, only the maid, Mother Liu, cared for her and treated her like a person.

2

Perhaps that was her fate. In the Xi family, only Mother Wang was good to her. She was practically raised by Mother Wang. In her heart, she was closer to Mother Wang than she was to her own mother.

2

Now that she was married and had her own home, only Mother Liu was good to her.

2

She went upstairs. The room felt deserted because no one had been in it for a week, and because the windows had not been opened, the room still smelled of oil and paint.

2

Mu Ru drew the curtains to let the sunlight in. She looked at her phone on the bedside table. It was already dead, so she quickly took out her charger and plugged it in. She walked to the closet and picked out a set of clothes. She then walked into the bathroom.

2

When she came out of the shower, her phone was already on. She was shocked by the number of missed calls and text messages that popped up.

2

There were fifty-nine missed calls and thirty-nine text messages, all from her mother.

2

She could not be bothered with those missed calls. With trembling hands, she opened the text messages. It was the first time she had received so much attention from her own mother in a short period of time.

2

She had been in the confinement room for only a week, but there were already too many notifications on her phone. People who didn't know her would think that her mother loved her and cared about her.

2

However, she knew that it was not a sign that her mother loved her. She knew that her mother simply wanted to reach out to her because of some urgent concern.

2

She opened the text messages and read them.

2

There were so many messages. "Mu Ru, why aren't you picking up the phone?" "Can you go home for a while? Our family is in trouble." "Nangong Xun wants us to pay him three hundred million for the time he lost waiting for you. He said he waited for you for five years, but you went to marry someone else."

2

Mu Ru was dumbstruck as she read the messages.

2

Three hundred million? That was not a small sum. The Xi family's assets combined were probably only worth one hundred million.

2

Mu Ru shook her head. She had been locked up in the detention room for a week. She was so busy with Dongfang Mo's bills and had not had a good night's sleep. Her eyes were droopy because she felt too tired.

2

She looked at the time. It was almost noon. She was about to call her mother, but before she could press the call button, her phone rang. Of course, it was her mother.

2

She answered the call. Before she could say anything, her mother spoke. She sounded very fearful.

2

"Mu Ru, where are you?"

2

"I'm at home."

2

Mu Ru was still confused.

2

She continued, "I'm at the Dongfang family's house. Mom, what's the matter?"

2

Du Xinyue would not have called her daughter for no particular reason. Mu Ru knew that very well.

2

"Mu Ru, can you hurry back home?" Du Xinyue said.

2

She sounded like she was crying.

2

"Mu Ru, I beg you to come back. The Xi family...is about to fall."
