Yuan Zhuhui was still busy working in the kitchen, when she heard the door creak, she wiped her hands and came out, "Xiao Yan is back, wait a bit, I just need to cook a few more dishes, and we can eat."

She whispered into Mu Jingyan's ear, "Your father is in the bedroom, go and call him out for dinner."

Mu Jingyan nodded, looked in the direction of her bedroom and said softly, "Don't worry, your father hasn't been drinking lately." She walked over with a relieved heart. The door was ajar and he saw his foster father sitting by the bed. He looked a lot older.

She pushed open the door, causing Mu Tao to look over.

Mu Jingyan walked straight in and leaned on the wardrobe. She did not know what to say for a while, so she lowered her head to look at her shoes.

Mu Tao should have smoked a lot, the house was filled with smoke, it looked like his mood was very low. After a while, he opened his mouth to speak.

"A lawyer came to see me this morning. He said you arranged it."

She thought he was going to explain to her what had happened that day, and he didn't say a word about it, as if it had never happened.

It was clearly a mistake, but he didn't admit it.

Yuan Zhuhui could ask for a divorce, but she was a junior. Even if he did beat her up, she would have to endure it.

Hearing his words, it seemed like Li Shengrui had already sent someone over to settle this matter. She mechanically replied, "Okay."

The two of them started to fall silent again. They really didn't know what to say, and Mu Jingyan didn't know what to say.

Mu Jingyan reckoned that Yuan Zhuhui had already finished preparing food, so she broke the silence by saying, "Dad, Mom asked me to call you out to eat."

Mu Tao nodded his head and extinguished the cigarette butt. Seeing that he was about to leave, Mu Jingyan turned around and walked out first. Just as he reached the door, he heard Mu Tao say, "

Yuan Zhuhui could ask for a divorce, but she, being a junior, even if he beat her up, she could only endure it. He would not apologize to her, as it would affect her face.

Hearing his words, it seemed like Li Shengrui had already sent someone over to settle this matter. She mechanically replied, "Okay."

The two of them started to fall silent again. They really didn't know what to say, and Mu Jingyan didn't know what to say.

Mu Jingyan reckoned that Yuan Zhuhui had already finished preparing food, so she broke the silence by saying, "Dad, Mom asked me to call you out to eat."

Mu Tao nodded and extinguished the cigarette butt. Seeing that he was about to leave, Mu Jingyan turned around and walked out first, but just as he reached the door, he heard Mu Tao say, "Do you want to know about your biological parents?"

My birth parents? What a strange word. She already had no expectations of them. When she was woken up by the nightmare, they were not there; when she was sick and sad, they were not there; when she was bullied and humiliated, they were not there; now that she had a lifetime to rely on, she definitely did not care whose child she was. She only needed to remember that she was Li Shengrui's wife.

"Actually, they …"

"Dad, let's eat." She simply interrupted him.

As he walked out, his eyes reddened, and memories resurfaced. One day, she unconsciously heard her foster father making a phone call again. His voice was very low and she said, "The child is admitted to university, so it's great that we're studying. Our financial conditions are not good, but can you give us some help?" Then he heard his foster father nod and bow and say, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for your children! " At that moment, she hated her biological parents beyond compare. Why did she abandon her when she was born? Why?

On the contrary, she had to thank them. If not for them giving birth to her, how could she have met Li Shengrui? In this life, he would also be a stranger if he were to see them again.

During the meal, it was very quiet. Mu Jingyan knew that he wanted to tell her about her biological parents, but she didn't want to know anything at all. The adoptive mother never stopped picking up dishes for herself and even said from time to time that she was too thin and needed to eat more. She was tasteless and downcast.

After dinner, she wanted to clean up with her adoptive mother, but her adoptive mother insisted that she rest for a while. She returned to her original room and found a book. When he woke up again, two hours later, it was already dark and he told his foster mother that he was about to leave. He originally wanted to say his farewells to Mu Tao, but seeing that he was still smoking beside the bed, he didn't want to disturb him.

He said goodbye to his adoptive mother, said a few words of warning, then opened the door and went downstairs.

The adoptive parents had been living in this run-down apartment for a long time. Mu Jingyan looked at the white wall which was already turning yellow and black. Standing in this familiar corner, she could not help but recall the memories of the past.
