After breakfast, Su Zipei went to the hotel. Seeing Mama Mu packing up her things, she asked, "What's your plan?"
"I talked to Papa Mu last night. He told me to go home to discuss the divorce agreement. If everything goes smoothly, I want to go overseas after serving the sentence." Mama Mu continued, "The family is ruined. What is the point of staying back?"
She could start anew in a new place. It seemed to be a good solution.
But Su Zipei did not forget her real intention of coming here."What is it that you wanted to tell me yesterday?"
Mama Mu startled and stopped moving. She turned around and looked at her sister."Why would I have any secret?"
"I know you. Seeing you act like this, I am sure you are hiding something from me."
Mama Mu laughed, and sighed."Zipei, I know you are doing this for Qiqi. Even if I have a secret, I cannot tell you now. Once I get the divorce, I will tell you."
"I will wait for you. So, are you going to the Mu family house now?"
"Don't worry, I will bring along my lawyer. Nothing will go wrong. I have had enough with that man." After so many years of marriage, after being a good wife for so long, all she got was scolding and beatings. She had had enough.
"Alright."
It was between Mama Mu and her family, she had no right to go with her.
Moreover, even if Su Zipei really worried about Mama Mu, Mama Mu may not necessarily appreciate it. Although the Mu family had done so many wrongs, Mama Mu had never done anything wrong to the family.
"Then, I shall leave." Mama Mu went to the Mu family's house with her lawyer.
Looking at the door she was so familiar with, she hesitated. But, in the end, she still walked into the house.
Papa Mu was sitting on the couch in the living room. The divorce agreement was neatly arranged on the coffee table.
Mu Group had just started to improve, so he did not want to waste time on Mama Mu. After all, he had sacrificed ten percent of his shares to Mu Qiqi to make her speak up for his company.
"After being married for so many years, I know I have done you wrong in many ways. So... the cheque is here. You can fill up the amount yourself. I will say nothing about it."
Mama Mu could not believe what she heard. She never thought that Papa Mu would comply so easily.
The cheque was real. The agreement was real. Everything was signed and put on the table.
Papa Mu did not try to falsify anything at all. Was it because he had true feelings for Mama Mu?
It was not. Actually, he did this because of what Mu Tangxue told him after talking to Mama Mu on the phone. She told him, "Daddy, no matter what requests that woman puts forward tomorrow, you can just agree to them. Then, you will go on a business trip and leave the rest to me."
"What if you fail?" Papa Mu did not have full confidence in her.
"Believe me, she is not getting anything from you."
It was because of her promise that he was being so generous. He saw that Mama Mu did not move and so he got up and said, "We were husband and wife for so many years. I do not wish to see you leave. So, I will go now. I am going on a business trip overseas. You can sign the papers and leave."
Mama Mu did not expect Papa Mu to be so...reasonable. Or, was he really feeling that he owed her?
She thought that this man would try to pull tricks. But, he stood up and left the house, just like that.
Mama Mu stared at the divorce agreement and the cheque. Then, she looked at her lawyer, puzzled."Anyway, it is a good thing. There is no need to trouble you anymore."
"In that case, I will take my leave now. You can get your things before you leave, " the lawyer said.
"Alright, I will contact you if there is any problem." Mama Mu let her guard down after seeing Papa Mu leave. Then, she went to the bedroom to get her things. While packing, she heard sounds coming from Mu Tangxue's room upstairs.
Mama Mu went upstairs, carefully taking each step forward. Then, she saw Mu Tangxue lying on the floor. Her body was covered with bruises and wounds. She was in pain.
Seeing her mother, Mu Tangxue immediately rushed into her arms."Mommy...Mommy, you are back. Daddy wants to kill me, please get me out of here."
Mama Mu still remembered how her daughter wanted to make her the scapegoat when they were in the police station.
She quickly pushed her away and said, "I am no longer your mother. I have divorced that man..."
Mu Tangxue knelt on the floor and hugged Mama Mu's legs."Mommy, I beg you. Please don't go. Please don't leave me alone."
"Xue'er... I am not a member of the Mu family anymore."
"Just for one night, one night, stay with me. Daddy is out for business. I am scared." Mu Tangxue hugged Mama Mu's legs tightly. She would not let go.
Mama Mu's heart softened after hearing her words."I will leave tomorrow morning."
Mu Tangxue was delighted. She cried loudly, still hugging her mother's legs.
Mama Mu pitied her and helped her to get onto the bed. She took care of her like how she used to, although she was not a member of the Mu family anymore.
"You should always be careful with the Mu family in the future."
"Mommy, you don't want me anymore. You don't want me anymore..." she wailed.
Seeing Mu Tangxue crying so miserably, Mama Mu stayed by her side the whole day to take care of her.
Fortunately the man was not at home right now. If he was, she would not want to stay here any longer, not even for a second. If it was not because Papa Mu had a guilty conscience about his actions, she would not want to care for Mu Tangxue anymore.
At night, Su Zipei found out that Mama Mu did not return to the hotel, so she called her.
Mama Mu told her that everything went smoothly and she would leave the next morning.
Knowing that the father and daughter of the Mu family easily caused trouble, Su Zipei reminded Mama Mu to take care of herself.
Mama Mu did not take it very seriously. But she did not know that she would not be able to survive the night...
Mu Tangxue lay on the bed for the whole day because of her injuries. Mama Mu cooked her dinner and went to the bedroom where she had lived with that man for over ten years to pack her things.
Everything seemed just fine as usual. It was midnight when the whole building was surrounded by thick black smoke...
The neighbors saw the fire and called the fire brigade. It took them twenty minutes to reach the scene.
Mu Tangxue was shouting for help upstairs. The firefighters took quick action and told her to jump.
The fire was burning fiercely. Mu Tangxue hesitated. But she jumped out of the window after much encouragement from the people.
She fainted right after she was saved...
And the firefighters did not know whether there was another person in the house. So they just did their best searching but when they found her, it was already too late...
