Looking at her daughter who deliberately chose a low-neck sweater today, with her long black hair draped over her shoulders, sitting there crying, it made people feel a tender affection.
She had long known that her daughter liked Mu Xingfeng. Although the Lin Family daughter and Mu Xingfeng had been matched together within their circle, everyone also knew that they hadn’t been together so far.
Her own daughter liked an outstanding man, and as a mother, she would certainly support her. So, for such a long time, she was well aware of her daughter’s feelings but never intervened. She even thought that perhaps Mu Xingfeng would not like the type of the Lin Family daughter and might just like her daughter instead.
Unexpectedly, this time they got themselves into trouble.
If this time they could indeed use that method to make Mu Xingfeng let the Chen Family go, though it might not elevate their status, it would fulfill her daughter’s wish, which could be considered killing two birds with one stone.
At this point, Xue Meihua’s eyes also reddened, no longer having her previous arrogant attitude. Seeing that Mu Xingfeng did not speak, she continued from where Chen Shanshan left off, saying, "Yes, Young Master Mu, Shanshan was really wrong. Please, for the sake of our deep love for our daughter, let Shanshan stay in the Imperial City. As long as she can stay with us, whatever you want her to do is fine, even if it means being humble or working as a servant. Neither I nor Chen would have a word of complaint."
Upon hearing Xue Meihua’s last words, Mu Xingfeng felt the little girl next to him shudder slightly, trying to withdraw her small hand.
He gently wrapped his arm around An Ran, which was originally resting on the back of the sofa, still casually holding her small hand without even glancing at the mother and daughter, his deep voice carrying a cold chill, "Mrs. Xue, it seems you are asking the wrong person."
Xue Meihua was stunned by these words, completely unable to believe it. Asking the wrong person? Could it be that Young Master Mu wanted her to beg that girl from nowhere?
She had also heard from her daughter that Mu Xingfeng’s girlfriend was just an adopted girl who wasn’t liked by others, and her adoptive mother even sold her for money...
Thinking that she, the dignified wife of the Wanfeng General Manager, would have to humbly beg such a girl, how could she be willing?
Chen Shanshan understood immediately upon hearing Mu Xingfeng’s words. Seeing her mother hesitate, she did not hesitate for a moment. She was really scared, afraid that Mu Xingfeng would really force her to leave the Imperial City forever if he was displeased.
"Miss An, it was all my fault yesterday. Please, Miss An, be generous and forgive me. I promise, I will never appear before Miss An again in the future."
An Ran just wanted to sit quietly at the side as a pretty girl, watching the drama. She did not expect the conversation to suddenly turn towards her.
Seeing Chen Shanshan’s eyes, swollen like walnuts from crying, to be honest, for a moment, she really softened.
Thinking that she had no biological parents since she was a child, suffering all kinds of abuse from her adoptive mother, and now to forcibly separate a mother and daughter who had parents, at that moment, she almost forgave her.
But reason told her that this woman and her mother were definitely not as they appeared now, and Chen Wanli, who had not spoken all this while, had threatened Mu Xingfeng a few days ago. Now, they were putting on another face to beg for mercy, how could they be like a helpless rabbit?
And Mu Xingfeng had always been standing up for her, supporting her. If she forgave Chen Shanshan at this moment, wouldn’t that be a slap in Mu Xingfeng’s face?
"Miss Chen, you might be disappointed. I am not a generous person, and I am not usually very forgiving," An Ran said and felt the large hand holding hers tighten.
