Dongfang Mo sat in his wheelchair, his cap still lowered. No one could really see his expression, not even Uncle Liu, who was pushing his wheelchair.
He was thinking about Xi Yuancheng's current situation, and a cruel smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Xi Yuancheng had dared to challenge him, cheat on him, and fool him into believing that Mu Ru was Mu Xue. He felt that Xi Yuancheng was such an arrogant man.
He, Dongfang Mo, was crippled, but so what?
He had proposed marriage to the Xi family because he sincerely wanted to marry Xi Muxue. Six years ago, Xi Muxue had used a small handkerchief to bandage his bleeding calf. When he was hospitalized a year ago due to his injuries, she came to the hospital every day to see him, brought him soup, and read to him while he lay on the hospital bed.
He originally thought that the marriage would go smoothly, and he even held a grand wedding for her.
He had considered the relations between the Dongfang Family and the Xi family, and he made an effort to honor his father-in-law, Xi Yuancheng.
However, for all his good intentions, all he got in return was deceit.
Dongfang Mo pondered on what Xi Yuancheng did. He must have thought that Dongfang Mo was easy to fool. He even had the nerve to replace his fair daughter with his other daughter, whom he considered unlucky and ugly. Xi Yuancheng must have found Dongfang Mo easy to manipulate.
As he thought about it, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he clenched his fists in anger.
He felt that Xi Yuancheng deserved whatever he was experiencing in the hands of Nangong Xun. Of course, he would not let Nangong Xun get what he wanted either.
Xi Muru was already his wife. That was an indisputable fact. Even if he did not completely like Mu Ru, there was no reason for him to give her away.
However, he would still command the Xi family to send Mu Xue to him.
She was such a vain person anyway. He believed that he could satisfy her vanity.
It was already afternoon when Mu Ru arrived at the Xi family's home. She tried to calm herself down before she entered the courtyard.
Mother Wang was washing clothes in the courtyard. The Xi family was very stubborn. They had a washing machine, but they only let Mother Wang use the washing machine for drying the clothes. All their clothes had to be washed by hand. Before Mu Ru married and moved out, she would help Mother Wang with the laundry.
When Mother Wang saw Mu Ru, her expression changed. Her hands were still wet and dripping with foam, but she quickly ran over to Mu Ru and tried to push her out of the courtyard.
"Mu Ru, why are you here? Why did you come back? Hurry up and leave. You should not have come back. Go back quickly!" she said to Mu Ru.
"Mother Wang, I can't leave," Mu Ru answered.
Mu Ru grabbed the door frame and tried to enter. She looked at Mother Wang, who was so anxious that tears were about to fall from her eyes. In a sad tone, Mother Wang asked, "What are you doing here?"
"My mother called me and told me that the Xi family is falling apart. She asked me to come back home. I can't just ignore my mother, can I? After all, she gave birth to me. Besides, she didn't really throw me into the river to drown, right?" Mu Ru answered.
Mother Wang looked at Mu Ru. She felt helpless. She wiped away her tears and stopped resisting.
Mother Wang added, "Mu Ru, they're like animals. They abandoned you and made you suffer. They're not worth it."
Suddenly, someone from behind said, "Mother Wang, why are you standing at the door?"
Du Xinyue walked out of the house. Before Mother Wang could answer, she saw Mu Ru. She happily shouted, "Mu Ru, you're back!"
Du Xinyue rushed over towards Mu Ru and Mother Wang.
