The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable

Chapter 1071: Chapter 1073-Still Not Cruel Enough

Qiao Mu paused for a moment before continuing, “” Regarding your question just now, I feel that I still have to tell you. Qiao Jiannan is my father, and you should know that my mother abandoned me. To me, this person is dispensable and meaningless. ”

Qiao Mu said these words so righteously and so heartbreakingly. Her mother no longer existed.

After Shu Xinyu heard Qiao Mu’s words, her expression shifted slightly, and she seemed to heave a sigh of relief. ” I really don’t understand. You clearly have parents, yet an orphan has to appear in an orphanage. How laughable. I don’t have any objections to you having such a hobby. I just want to confirm it. ”

Shu Xinyu turned around and walked out. When she reached the door, she turned around and glanced at Qiao Mu. ” Qiao Mu, you’re really amazing with what happened to Tongtong the last time. Although you let Tongtong off, you let Li Yan destroy my company! ”

Qiao Mu laughed. ” Don’t you understand that you have to pay the price for doing something, Madam Shu? I almost died. Even if Ning Tongtong is locked up in prison for the rest of her life, she deserves it. Or do you think that my rotten life can’t be compared to your daughter’s? I deserve to be hurt, and it doesn’t matter if she did something wrong?”

“Your life and death are irrelevant to me. I only care about Tongtong! I hope that our family will no longer have anything to do with a sinister woman like you.”

As Qiao Mu watched Shu Xinyu’s figure disappear through the door, she felt as if her heart had been forcefully torn apart by a pair of hands, and the pain was suffocating.

There would be no more involvement! This was also what she wanted. She really did not want to have anything to do with this woman anymore!

She walked out of the bathroom and wanted to go back as if nothing had happened. However, halfway through, she felt as if all her strength had been sucked away. She leaned weakly against the wall and her body went limp.

She squatted down and hugged her knees. She bit her lip hard, reminding herself not to pay attention to it.

She should have gotten used to all of this long ago. Was it because she was not ruthless enough that she still cared about it?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

How could she compete with Shu Xinyu in ruthlessness? That woman had no heart at all!

In the private room, the dishes had already been served, and Qiao Mu had yet to return. Li Yan stood up and walked to the washroom, only to see a petite figure squatting in the corner.

His expression froze as he strode forward.

Qiao Mu was lowering her head when she felt a tall figure stop in front of her. Before she could raise her head, that familiar aura enveloped her entire body, and the hands on her right arm wrapped around her.

A worried voice sounded. ” Mu Mu, why are you squatting here? Did he sprain his ankle? Or does your stomach hurt?”

Li Yan could only think of these two possibilities. Qiao Mu was still alive and kicking when she left the private room, but in just a short while, her face had turned pale and lifeless. Her appearance made his heart ache.

Qiao Mu’s nose turned sour, but she did not feel awkward or pretentious. She opened her mouth and said to him, “”I saw Shu Xinyu.”

Li Yan instantly understood what was going on. Shu Xinyu had said nasty things to Qiao Mu again!

“Mumu, I’m sorry.”

Li Yan’s sudden apology stunned Qiao Mu. Why was he apologizing to her?

Li Yan stood up with Qiao Mu in his arms and said softly, “”I shouldn’t have chosen this restaurant to eat. Let’s leave now.”
