Chapter 201 Another Old Friend
Mu Qingyu's words were like a bucket of cold water, quickly extinguishing Lawyer Zhou's excitement.
He has just witnessed too much suffering and death recently, so he is particularly sensitive and emotional about the fact that the son of a deceased friend is still alive.
After the initial excitement, Mu Qingyu's words quickly brought him to reality—Mu Qingyu had no feelings for her biological parents.
She wouldn't care about her parents the way she cared about him, and he wasn't capable of caring about Mu Xiangnan's affairs...
However, although Mu Qingyu reminded Attorney Zhou, she did not object to their meeting—it was none of her business, and if anything happened later, she could just remind Gao Yingwei.
So Mu Qingyu decided to leave directly and not get entangled with these people. Knowing that they were not doing well made her feel at ease—if Huo Siyu, a space-type ability user, was not doing well, how could Mu Xiangnan and Ou Mingxin be doing well?
"Xiaoyu... Xiaoyu... Is it really you?! Xiaoyu, Daddy missed you so much! My daughter!" Before Mu Qingyu could leave, Mu Xiangnan rushed out from somewhere.
He felt an urge to hug Mu Qingyu excitedly whenever he saw her, but Mu Qingyu activated her speed ability and dodged a great distance in a second: "You stink—are you trying to murder me with poison gas?"
Mu Xiangnan stood there, stunned, looking down at himself—his clothes were so black they were hard and colorless, his ten fingers were pitch black, and his long fingernails were full of dirt… As for the smell… he was used to it and couldn’t find out anything.
But Mu Qingyu was so clean, with a rosy complexion, her long hair neatly combed, and a clean, transparent raincoat over her brand-new windbreaker... She was clearly living better than before the apocalypse...
“Xiaoyu, Dad just misses you so much, my daughter…” Mu Xiangnan’s throat tightened instantly—this was his daughter! This clean and innocent girl was his own daughter! Why hadn’t he chosen this daughter in the first place?!
He was truly heartbroken, so heartbroken that he didn't even notice Mu Qingyu's lightning-fast movement, which was as fast as teleportation.
Huo Siyu, however, stared wide-eyed, secretly alarmed—was this a teleportation skill? Was it the same as her master's teleportation? Was it also a derivative skill of the spatial element? Why had even Mu Qingyu learned it, while she, who also possessed spatial abilities, couldn't comprehend this skill?! Why!
Gao Yingwei, seeing that Mu Qingyu had disappeared after their conversation, came out to look for her. Seeing a crowd gathered, he came over to investigate.
When I arrived, I happened to see Mu Xiangnan crying and calling for Mu Qingyu's daughter.
Gao Yingwei was extremely surprised. Wasn't Mu Qingyu's father in the village she mentioned? How could he be here?!
Did I have some kind of karmic entanglement with Mu Qingyu? Why are all her acquaintances and relatives here?!
Will his journey north add a few more people to the list of those needing protection?!
"Is this... meeting a relative?" Gao Yingwei asked Mu Qingyu with surprise and uncertainty.
Mu Qingyu glanced at Gao Yingwei with disdain in her eyes. It wasn't that she disliked Gao Yingwei himself, but rather his aura—look at what kind of people he's attracted!
Gao Yingwei was inexplicably glared at by Mu Qingyu, feeling utterly innocent—he hadn't said anything, had he? He'd only asked a simple question…
"Why didn't I see them a couple of days ago?" Mu Qingyu asked Gao Yingwei.
If she had known a couple of days ago that Mu Xiangnan and his unlucky gang were here, she wouldn't have pretended to move anything; she would have simply revealed her spatial abilities, made the deal with Gao Yingwei, and left!
“Because they only arrived yesterday evening.” Gao Yingwei felt innocent. Although he didn’t take in anyone, Huisheng Garden wasn’t his territory either; he only guarded his own camp.
As for other places, as long as they're not there to cause trouble, whoever wants to come can come, right? For Gao Yingwei, it just means there are more followers following him around. He's gotten used to it all the way here, and it doesn't bother him much.
No wonder I didn't see it a few days ago.
"Never mind, let's go, to your place." Mu Qingyu waved to Gao Yingwei and said.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, don't go. Your mother is sick, aren't you going to see her? You...you really don't care about us anymore? We are your biological parents."
Mu Xiangnan dared not rush forward again, but he still followed behind Mu Qingyu, calling out to her. He stayed close to Mu Qingyu, unwilling to miss this opportunity—his life was too hard now, and his daughter was his only hope.
Ou Mingxin is still alive; it seems they're all quite resilient.
Seeing Mu Xiangnan's eagerness, Mu Qingyu thought for a moment and decided to resolve the matter here. Otherwise, seeing Mu Xiangnan's determined look, she would also find it annoying.
"Mu Xiangnan, your daughter's name is Mu Xiaoxiao! In the past twenty years, I haven't eaten a single grain of rice from your Mu family. Oh, I did eat a few bites later. But didn't you always complain about those few bites of rice I ate?"
"Ms. Ou Mingxin said on the very first day I stepped into the Mu family that she only had one daughter, Mu Xiaoxiao, and that I, a country girl, should not get involved."
"How could you forget what you said back then?" Mu Qingyu frowned as she looked at Mu Xiangnan, her words quite blunt: "I don't know how you felt when you saw how shabby I looked back then."
"Disgust? Shame? If so, let me tell you, that's how I feel when I see you right now! I disgust you. Look at yourselves now! Do you even deserve to be my father? Now I also want to tell you, filthy and smelly things, stay away from me."
