Chapter 347

When father Mu saw the texts sent by father Shen, he was overwhelmed again— the paternity test could not be done at all. After all, Mu Qingyao was not his biological daughter at all.

The Shen family had already begun to doubt Mu Qingyao’s identity. It seemed like mother Shen was always talking about it and it annoyed father Shen to no extent, to the point where he had no choice but to tell father Mu about it.

Sure enough, if a lie was told, one could only keep making up more lies to justify it.

Now, father Mu faced a huge problem.

Mother Shen appeared to be interested in Xu Xinduo, but Xu Xinduo’s side of things were like an iron wall. Besides, he divorced mother Mu as well.

It definitely won’t be that easy to push Xu Xinduo over to be the daughter-in-law of the Shen family.

He divorced his wife, his son ignored him completely and his real daughter didn’t want to acknowledge him at all.

Then, the in-laws just had to ask him to issue a personal identification certificate between him and his daughter.

All these matters jumbled up together were more than enough to make him devastated. Leaning on the sofa, he felt his temples throbbing as his life was at his lowest point.

His blood pressure appeared to be rising again.

On Monday.

During lunch break, Xu Xinduo lowered her head to study the notes made by Mu Qingyi and Shao Qinghe. Then, she combined the notes of the two and summarised some of their key points. She was this serious because she wanted to summarise the essence of the notes and show it to Tong Yan.

At this time, Lou Xu brought a tablet and put it in front of Xu Xinduo before she said, “Duoduo, come, help me break a record.”

On the screen was a falling touch music rhythm game called ‘Beat Rhythm’. In Lou Xu’s opinion, Xu Xinduo was really good at playing the piano, so she must be very good at playing this kind of game.

Xu Xinduo looked at the game and tried to tap the screen a few times before she suddenly exclaimed, “Why are there turns?”

Lou Xu stretched out her hand to complete the move and introduced, “Here, you need to press with one finger so that the two buttons move up and release when the beam ends.”

Xu Xinduo stared at the screen in amazement for a while and hurriedly continued to try, but the game ended quickly.

‘Game over’.

“You haven’t played this game before?” Lou Xu said, wanting to take the tablet.

Xu Xinduo was suddenly in denial. She pushed Lou Xu’s hand away and said, “I will definitely break this record for you today.”

After Xu Xinduo finished speaking, she immediately started to try again.

In fact, Xu Xinduo was very quick to get accustomed to the rhythm. The song was already set at a difficult level so she wasn’t able to beat the record; she could only hang on barely to finish the song.

At this time, Tong Yan came in with some oolong tea and put it on Xu Xinduo’s desk. After seeing her playing games, he reached out and brought the tablet to him and said, “You are worse than me when you play games.”

“Impossible, I used to be able to play songs before you can.”

“This is not the same as a piano.”

Shao Qinghe, who was seated beside them, suddenly asked, “Before? Did you two practise the piano together before?”

Xu Xinduo and Tong Yan went silent at the same time; these kinds of situations were really hard to prevent.

Xu Xinduo could only take back the tablet and said calmly, “We practised the piano together often.”

She didn’t mention that it was strictly in the past, so it could be recent as well.

Shao Qinghe didn’t ask any more questions.
