Chapter 40: Atonement

They suddenly understood what Mu Qiannian was talking about.

After knowing that Mu Qiannian was not her biological daughter, they had never treated her well.

The biggest favor was probably giving her a bowl of rice that was barely enough to fill her stomach when she was still unable to fend for herself.

Before Xu Li could react, Father Mu, who was beside her, spoke up and agreed immediately.

“Sure. Your mother and I will compensate you for what we owe you.”

Mu Qiannian nodded in satisfaction and looked at Mu Wanwan.

“Since that’s the case, Mu Wanwan is your adopted daughter. Shouldn’t we chase her away?”

Xu Li and Father Mu looked embarrassed.. Mu Wanwan was easily angered by Mu Qiannian.

“Mu Qiannian, are you crazy? This is my home, why should I leave?!”

If it was not for her, how could Mu Qiannian have become the mu family’s biological daughter in name?

If it was not for the fact that Mu Wanwan could not say it out loud, she would have really wanted to humiliate Mu Qiannian.

Mu Qiannian was just a wild child who was given an identity because of her pity!

Mu Qiannian stood up when she heard that. “I’m the Mu family’s biological daughter now. At most, you’re just an adopted daughter. I don’t believe that father and mother would help an adopted daughter instead of their biological daughter.”

As Mu Qiannian said that, she looked at Xu Li and Father Mu and asked, “What do you think?”

Xu Li could only bite the bullet and nod her head. Her gaze indicated that Mu Wanwan should bear with it for a while.

Mu Wanwan was so angry that she almost could not stand still. She panted heavily.

Mu Qiannian said again, “Father and mother are really good to me. Since that’s the case, I want to buy the latest fashion bag and all kinds of clothes. I also want the large room that Mu Wanwan stayed in before. I want to make it into my cloakroom.”

The things that she said were specially prepared for her by Xu Li and Father Mu after they found out that Mu Wanwan was their biological daughter.

It was not that Mu Qiannian did not have money, nor was it because she wanted these things.

However, since Mu Wanwan had personally pushed this identity into her hands, she might as well make good use of it.

Mu Wanwan suddenly screamed, “Ahh!”

Mu Qiannian could not help but rub her ears. “What are you screaming for?!”

Mu Wanwan said, “You’re going too far. Why should dad and mom buy you things? How can you turn my room into a cloakroom?!”

Mu Qiannian looked at her like she was an idiot. “Because I’m their biological daughter. Isn’t that enough?”

Mu Wanwan choked. She had a million things to say in her heart, but she just could not say it out loud.

Xu Li was afraid that Mu Wanwan would be so angry that she would tell the truth, so she quickly reached out and tugged at Mu Wanwan.

Xu Li said to Mu Qiannian, “Sure, we’ll agree to it. We’ll agree to it.”

As long as Wanwan could successfully get acknowledged by the Su family, they would not care about such a small amount of money.

Mu Qiannian nodded in satisfaction and looked at Mu Wanwan provocatively.

Just as Mu Wanwan was itching to eat her up, she thought of something else.

“Oh right, there’s one more thing.”

While Xu Li was trying her best to hold back her anger, Mu Qiannian said slowly, “Didn’t the Chen family give you a betrothal gift? I want a portion of that much money too.”

Xu Li’s eyebrows jumped and she immediately smiled and said, “That’s a betrothal gift. I’ll give it to you after you get married. Stay with me now. I’ll keep it for you. I won’t take it from you.”

Xu Li had almost spent the money. She did not even give Mu Qiannian a tenth of it, let alone a share.

As for saying that she would give it to Mu Qiannian after she got married, it was just to coax her. No one could say for sure what would happen in the future.

Mu Qiannian was not so easy to fool. Her temper flared up as she said with a dark expression.

“I want it now. It’s not like I want all of it. Can’t I just get a part of it?”

Xu Li looked at Mu Qiannian and thought to herself, ‘This is troublesome.’

She looked at her husband for help. Father Mu originally wanted to reject her.

However, Mu Qiannian said again, “Initially, when you thought Mu Wanwan was your biological daughter, you all agreed to whatever she wanted. Why are you all so stingy when it’s my turn? This makes it hard for me to believe that I’m your biological daughter.”

Father Mu’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He unwillingly took out a card from the folder and handed it to Mu Qiannian.

“Dad didn’t say he wouldn’t give it to you. Why are you in such a hurry, child? Don’t say about not being our child in the future.”

The reason why they called Mu Qiannian over today was to make Mu Qiannian think she was their biological daughter too.

As long as Mu Qiannian cooperated well, Wanwan’s side would be much smoother.

Moreover, Mu Qiannian was close to the Chen family at the moment, right?

Maybe she could get back together with Chen Jia in the future. This was originally a betrothal gift from the Chen family.

Mu Wanwan watched as Mu Qiannian took the bank card and waved it in front of her.

Mu Wanwan was so angry that she stomped her feet. The sound of her high heels was annoying.

“Mu Qiannian, you’re going too far. What right do you have to take this money? This is the betrothal gift from the Chen family for Chen Jia. It’s for me!”

Mu Qiannian was shocked. “What nonsense are you talking about? This is the betrothal gift from the Chen family to the Mu family’s eldest daughter. I’m the real eldest daughter of the Mu family now!”

After saying that, she mimicked mu Wanwan’s previous tricks and showed her temper.

“Dad, mom, look at Mu Wanwan. She bullied me before and now she’s proven that I’m your biological daughter. She still wants to bully me. Are you going to let your biological daughter be bullied?”

Xu Li and Father Mu’s brows twitched and their minds were in a mess.

In order not to expose themselves, Xu Li stood up. “Wanwan, listen to me and stop causing trouble, okay?”

“Mom!”

This time, Mu Wanwan really shot herself in the foot. She looked at Xu Li accusingly.

Xu Li, on the other hand, had her back against Mu Qiannian. She kept winking at Mu Wanwan.

Mu Wanwan was furious, but when she saw Xu Li’s gaze, she reluctantly endured it.

Mu Qiannian was extremely satisfied. When she heard someone saying that dinner was ready, she happily entered the dining room.

When she saw Mu Qiannian leave, Xu Li lowered her body and said, “Why are you angry with her? Right now, the most important thing is to put the Su family first. You should bear with it for now.”

Mu Wanwan frowned and pursed her lips. She unwillingly agreed.

Xu Li continued, “Mom knows that hat you like Chen Jia, but if you are related to the Su family, there are many men who are better than Chen Jia. There will be tons of choices for you.”

Xu Li meant to tell Mu Wanwan not to limit her choices to Chen Jia, but Mu Wanwan shook her head.

“I don’t want any other man. I only want Chen Jia.”

Chen Jia was good-looking and generous to her, but…

When Mu Wanwan thought about how Chen Jia did not value her, she naively thought that it was because of her identity.

As long as she became the only Young Miss of the Su family, Chen Jia would definitely not look down on her.

Mu Wanwan naively believed that Chen Jia actually liked her too!

At this time, Mu Qiannian’s voice came from the dining room.
