In an instant, all emotions converged in her heart, and Mu Yin Yin's eyes were filled with a desolate sorrow.
Father was no longer here.
Because of her lack of vigilance against this mother and daughter, a life had been lost to zombies.
She had never intended to fight for anything in this home. In fact, her father had once told her that if they were gone, the family fortune was to be shared with Nan Shiqing.
But this mother and daughter were not satisfied with that, and wanted all of the Mu family's assets.
Heh.
Ridiculous!
The villa door was opened, and then He Xia, smiling warmly, walked towards her.
"Yin Yin, you're here." However, when she saw Mu Yin Yin driving a Ferrari, the smile on her lips faltered for a moment.
She actually had such a nice car? Didn't they say she left with nothing? What was going on?
Could it be that Fu Siye had shown leniency and bought her a car?
Mu Yin Yin withdrew her thoughts, as if she hadn't noticed He Xia's oddity, and opened the car door to get out.
The woman was still wearing an apron, looking as if she was cooking herself. She was wearing a set of gray home clothes, and even with the apron, it couldn't conceal her proud figure.
Although she already had an adult daughter, one couldn't tell that she was over forty.
Instead, she looked like a woman in her early thirties. Her curly hair fell to about the middle of her shoulders, perfectly showcasing her charm.
She smiled warmly at Mu Yin Yin and said, "Yin Yin, you're finally back, Auntie missed you so much."
Mu Yin Yin looked indifferently at the person in front of her. Seeing that He Xia's well-maintained face had no wrinkles even when she smiled, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes. The money He Xia spent on beauty treatments was all earned by her father, bit by bit. She would eventually reclaim it from her, inch by inch.
Seeing that she didn't speak, He Xia didn't feel awkward. Instead, she smiled and said, "I'll be done with the cooking soon. I imagine your sister will be back soon too. Yin Yin, come in first."
Mu Yin Yin said nothing and walked into the villa.
She couldn't help but look around.
After marrying Fu Siye, she had basically stopped coming back.
This was because she had always wanted to cook for Fu Siye and be a qualified wife.
As a result, she didn't see her father much afterward.
The more she thought about it, the deeper the guilt in Mu Yin Yin's eyes became.
She took a slight breath. She had originally planned to visit her father's room.
But her father had always lived in the same room as He Xia. Now that only He Xia was left, her father's room had long lost its former appearance.
"Yin Yin, sit down first. I'll be right there." He Xia was still as enthusiastic as ever, as if nothing had happened.
The maids in the living room felt that Mu Yin Yin had become much colder.
They all looked at her with some confusion. Young Miss had never been like this before. What was going on now?
However, this was not something they should inquire about. They quietly waited for instructions.
Mu Yin Yin withdrew her gaze, as if restraining her past memories.
The thought of her father kindly reasoning with her or chatting with her made her heart ache uncontrollably.
If it were just herself, she wouldn't be afraid of exposing anything, but here, she couldn't.
Soon, she managed to control her emotions.
After more than ten minutes, He Xia walked out of the kitchen again. She had already taken off her apron and saw Mu Yin Yin sitting on the sofa in the living room. Her gaze shifted, and she smiled as she sat down beside her, speaking intimately as if she were truly looking at her daughter after many days, "Girl, you haven't been back for a while. Are you doing well at the Fu family? Have you been bullied?"
Mu Yin Yin's eyelashes trembled slightly.
When her father was still alive, He Xia had asked similar questions.
At that time, she didn't know about the schemes of this mother and daughter and had warmly said she was fine, not wanting them to worry.
But now, she probably wanted to know if she was not doing well at the Fu family.
A coldness flashed in Mu Yin Yin's eyes. Her expression remained calm as she said, "Bullying isn't the case. We'll be divorced soon."
He Xia's eyes lit up!
If Mu Yin Yin was willing to let go, then it would be completely over!
But she didn't dare to show it and quickly said incredulously, "What!? Yin Yin, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you say you two were doing well before?"
Mu Yin Yin gave a slight smirk. "Don't you know best how Fu Zong and I are doing?"
With Nan Shiqing around, what could He Xia not know?
Moreover, she dared to assert that with Nan Shiqing doing so much, He Xia had helped behind the scenes.
At this point, with the company also taken from her, in their eyes, she was just a clown. What else was there to fear or pretend about?
Oh—
She remembered. He Xia needed to continue maintaining the image of a good stepmother, so as not to offend Fu Siye or the company's employees.
That's right. This image, as long as she was alive, He Xia had to keep pretending.
It was quite troublesome for her.
Mu Yin Yin didn't want to beat around the bush with her anymore, but she also knew that He Xia needed to continue pretending. So she said lightly, "There's no emotional foundation. There's no point in continuing the marriage. Coincidentally, it can fulfill your own daughter."
The maids: "!"
Is there gossip?!
Fulfill?
With He Xia's instigation, the maids all knew that Nan Shiqing had been admitted to the hospital to save Fu Siye. But before, due to Fu Siye and Mu Yin Yin's relationship, people hadn't thought much of it. But now…
What did Mu Yin Yin mean by saying this?
Could it be…
Second Miss was the homewrecker…?
Otherwise, why would the eldest young lady say this?
He Xia's expression changed slightly. This damned slut was doing it on purpose! She glanced around and noticed the maids' varied expressions. She immediately said, "Yin Yin, don't overthink such matters. President Fu might just be grateful for her life-saving grace. The fact that they are closer because of this is also because of you. After all, they are also family."
Family.
Mu Yin Yin's cold smile deepened. He Xia turned the situation around in a few words, making it seem like Fu Siye was simply grateful for the life-saving grace, and making her appear petty.
See, some of the maids were already thinking about this. Mu Yin Yin didn't mind and even smiled faintly, "The divorce wasn't proposed by me."
He Xia's expression froze.
How dare Mu Yin Yin say it so directly? Wasn't she shameless? Didn't she think that saying it would make her seem pathetic and lose face?
But to embarrass her precious daughter, she would deny herself.
This kind of "harming a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred oneself" was something only she could do.
He Xia couldn't afford to care about much else and immediately said worriedly, "What happened? He…"
Before she could finish speaking, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from the courtyard. Turning to look, she was surprised to see… that person's car.
