"But I really don't know anything!" Mu Ru interjected yet again.
Mu Ru was on the verge of crying as she spoke.
"I'm just like Ah Jun. I'm also a student. I'm even younger than him," she added.
She originally thought that Dongfang Yingwu would take over the heavy responsibility. She didn't expect that Dongfang Mo would impose it on her. He neither let Dongfang Yingwu nor Dongfang Jun handle it.
Dongfang Mei said, "Ah Mo, what Mu Ru said is true. She's just a child and she's still a student, and she's even younger than Ah Jun."
Dongfang Mei looked at Dongfang Mo with a sincere gaze.
"Why don't you let me meet Nangong Xun on Mu Ru's behalf? After all—"
"Xi Muru may be younger than Ah Jun, and yes, she's still a student, but she's already married to me. She's my wife," Dongfang Mo answered bluntly.
Dongfang Mo spoke in a cold tone. He was not going to give it up.
"When a woman marries a man, it's expected of her to share in her husband's burdens. This has been a tradition in China since ancient times. It's also her responsibility, and it's also her life. So whether she wants to or not, she has to complete this mission!"
Dongfang Yingwu and Dongfang Mei did not dare to say anything more. Dongfang Mo was the CEO of the corporation. He had the final say on such matters.
Dongfang Yingwu looked at Xi Muru, who was standing in the corner like a fool. She looked pitiful.
He smiled and said, "First Young Madam, I have just returned and did not make it in time for your wedding to Ah Mo. However, it is not yet too late to give you another gift. What do you want?"
"I want to study," Mu Ru answered.
Mu Ru blurted it out without thinking. She saw that Dongfang Yingwu was stunned.
She said, "If Second Uncle really wants to give me a big gift, then help me plead with Mo and let him promise me that I can continue going to school."
"Ah? This...can it be considered a gift?" Dongfang Yingwu asked.
Dongfang Yingwu was slightly stunned. He had not expected that Mu Ru would simply beg to be allowed to go to school.
Hence, he smiled awkwardly, then turned to look at Dongfang Mo and pleaded.
"Eldest Young Master, look...This is the first time Young Madam has begged me. If I—"
"All right. I got it," Dongfang Mo answered quickly.
Dongfang Mo nodded. Then, he turned to Mu Ru.
"Xi Muru, for Second Uncle's sake, I promise you that you can continue going to school. However, the prerequisite is that you have to meet Nangong Xun. Otherwise, don't even think about going to school!"
"Yes."
Mu Ru was in a better mood. She was finally allowed to go to school! She was determined to do her best.
Mu Ru looked stared at the stack of papers on the table. She silently mourned for her fate. Dongfang Mo wanted her to read the documents and memorize what she needed to remember in three days. The thought of having to remember everything and not making a single mistake scared her.

She could memorize well, but she could not memorize by rote. Many people memorized English words by rote, but she did not. She found it easier to memorize if she remembered the words according to their pronunciation.
