His Beloved Treasure

”Go away, just because you’re feeling a bit stronger, you start to argue with me.”

Feng Fanghua looked at her daughter, who was regaining some color, and complained discontentedly.

Mu Qingxin made a face at Jiang Yan but didn’t defy Feng Fanghua anymore. Feng Fanghua put down her things, rubbed her hands together, and went to hold her grandson. The maternity matron had stepped out and hadn’t returned yet, so she had to seize the chance to hold him before the woman came back and started finding fault again.

”Mom, I have to leave for a couple of days, I’ll be back in three or four days at the earliest.”

Jiang Yan had already discussed it with Mu Qingxin the night before, but he hadn’t informed Feng Fanghua yet. In fact, with his personality, he wasn’t one to report everything to his family, but given the special circumstances, he had no choice but to talk to Feng Fanghua about it.

”Then go! Just make sure to come back as soon as you’re done!”

Feng Fanghua glanced at him. After hearing about the things he was doing in that city, she found it hard to believe if what he was showing now was true or false, and didn’t want him to be so subservient, so she replied indifferently.

”Alright! It’ll trouble you to look after Qingxin these days!”

Jiang Yan looked at the woman lying in the bed, and Mu Qingxin gazed back at him tenderly.

”My own daughter? Since when do I need you to trouble yourself?”

Feng Fanghua said softly, sitting on the sofa with her grandson in her arms.

”Mom, you...”

”Qingxin!”

Just as Mu Qingxin was about to speak up for Jiang Yan, he called out to her, and she silenced herself.

Feng Fanghua knew that her daughter listened to this man more than to her own mother, and it made her feel both heartbroken and pained. It seemed her son listened to others, her daughter as well, making her feel as though she, as a mother, had no value at all.

But what could she do? This was, after all, her own flesh and blood, a child who had come from her own body.

In the afternoon, Qin Mu brought Huanhuan to the hospital to see the baby, and also brought a big bunch of flowers for the hospital room.

By then, Jiang Yan had already left, and Feng Fanghua, hugging her granddaughter, was joking around, Qin Mu held his little nephew and teased him, and to her surprise, she discovered the little guy could actually smile. Her delight was even greater than that of the baby’s own mother.

”Qin Mu, you haven’t been arguing with my brother recently, have you? My brother came by this morning, and he seemed quite unhappy?”

Mu Qingxin looked at her and remembered her brother’s expression when he visited earlier, immediately wanting to stand up for him.

”Unhappy? But we’ve been getting along really well!”

Qin Mu replied as if nothing was wrong.

Truth be told, she no longer knew if things were really okay between them; she had given up on knowing.

Feng Fanghua was all ears listening to their conversation but didn’t join in. She had given up meddling in the affairs of Qin Mu and Mu Yichen as well; after all, interfering too much had only led to resentment. She’d rather spend peaceful time with her granddaughter.

”Really? Then why did my brother look so unhappy? Could it be—excess indulgence?”

Mu Qingxin’s eyes gleamed as she started to get cheeky.

Qin Mu...

”What are you saying? Your niece is right here.”

Qin Mu didn’t dare to say much, but Feng Fanghua was displeased. Considering Huanhuan was at an age where she could mimic others, she didn’t want her granddaughter to be led astray so young.

Qin Mu felt like she had escaped from the inside, but on her way down in the elevator, she bumped into Wang Huanyu and Qin Mingzhu.

The pair was startled to see her, especially Qin Mingzhu, who looked like she wished she could vanish into thin air.

Qin Mu unconsciously thought back to the previous night and wondered, based on Qin Mingzhu’s appearance, if nothing had happened after all?

But who was the man in front of her? His hand was on Qin Mingzhu’s arm, looking worryingly concerned for her.

”What are you staring at?”

Qin Mingzhu, eyes downcast, felt Qin Mu sizing up Wang Huanyu and asked irritably.

Only then did Qin Mu shift her gaze from Wang Huanyu and look back at Qin Mingzhu.

”What are you doing here? Don’t tell me you’ve caught some filthy disease.”

Qin Mingzhu’s mouth turned vicious in a split second.

”Mingzhu!”

Wang Huanyu called out to her, hoping she would stop spouting nonsense, but Qin Mingzhu stubbornly glared at him, ”I wasn’t talking about you!”

Wang Huanyu...

”If I had caught some filthy disease, I’d probably need someone to help me walk like you do.”

Qin Mu couldn’t contain her anger and snapped back at her.

”You... Qin Mu, don’t push people too far. You did everything you could to drive me and my mom out of the house, you’ve destroyed our family, what more do you want?”

Qin Mingzhu looked as if she were about to cry, staring up at Qin Mu as she continued her accusations.

”If I were you, I wouldn’t ask such low-class questions.”

Qin Mu always appeared so composed and restrained, and it was exactly this calm that infuriated Qin Mingzhu even more, making her want to tear Qin Mu’s face apart.

Regrettably, her own body was in too much pain, and she simply didn’t have the strength right now.

”Are you Qin Mu?”

Wang Huanyu asked.

”And you are?”

Qin Mu looked up at him, seeing a normal man.

”Wang Huanyu!”

Wang Huanyu had changed out of his camo from last night, now wearing casual clothes, but his expression was still very serious.

Qin Mu slightly lowered her gaze, thinking just because you tell me your name does that mean I know who you are?

But she figured she could ask President Mu back home, he would definitely know.

”Don’t talk to this woman, it’s her fault that my dad is divorcing my mom.” Qin Mingzhu angrily commanded Wang Huanyu.

Wang Huanyu didn’t say anything, just looped his arm around her and led her outside once they were on the first floor.

Huanhuan had been standing by her mother’s side this whole time, and only after seeing Qin Mingzhu being dragged out did she couldn’t help but yell out, ”Bad woman! Old witch!”

Qin Mu...

”Who are you calling a bad woman? Who are you saying is an old witch?”

As soon as she heard this, Qin Mingzhu immediately became angry, broke free from Wang Huanyu, and turned back, as if to settle the score with Huanhuan.

Huanhuan had just stepped outside the elevator with Qin Mu, and seeing Qin Mingzhu’s threatening approach, she immediately clung to Qin Mu’s legs.

”What do you think you’re doing?”

Qin Mu naturally protected her daughter right away, staring coldly at the woman who approached and stood in front of Huanhuan to confront her.

”Qin Mu, I curse you, one day you will be abandoned by Mu Yichen, and there will be many women in Mu Yichen’s life, but he will never again sleep with you.”

”Childish!”

Qin Mu found Qin Mingzhu’s behavior hilarious.

It was funny that a woman in her twenties could be so ridiculous.

Qin Mu picked up Huanhuan and walked around her, but Qin Mingzhu lunged forward and grabbed the collar of Qin Mu’s coat, ”You wretched whore, I’ll fight you to the end!”

”Mingzhu!”

”Stop!”
