Chapter 789: So Heartless at Such a Young Age

Translator: 549690339

Seeing Shu Xinyu protect Ning Tongtong without distinguishing between right and wrong, Qiao Mu felt suffocated.

Clenching her fists tightly, Qiao Mu stood up. ” Ning Tongtong deserved what she did. If we don’t punish her, she’ll frame someone else the next time she sets me up. I don’t think you’re being nice to her. ” Ms. Shu, I don’t think we need to talk anymore. I’ll leave this matter to Key Studio. Please don’t come looking for me again. My decision won’t change.”

Shu Xinyu was burning with rage. ” Qiao Mu! How can you be so heartless at such a young age? Tongtong did something wrong, and I’ve already apologized to you. Why won’t you let her go? She’s only 21, and you’re going to ruin her?

I really want to know how your mother raised you like this. I heard that your biological mother was a gambler and didn’t want you since you were young. Your stepmother who went to prison really taught you to be cold-blooded and heartless!”

Your biological mother…I didn’t want you since I was young…

Qiao Mu’s heart fiercely twitched when she heard this.

She bit her lip hard, not wanting to let her emotions show. She smiled sarcastically. ” You’re right. My biological mother really doesn’t want me anymore. Of course, I can’t compare to Ning Tongtong. Her stepmother taught her to only plagiarize and use all kinds of dirty tricks. How can I compare to her! ”

“You!” Shu Xinyu stood up abruptly and pointed angrily at Qiao Mu. ” Alright! You just won’t take a step back, will you? Qiao Mu, do you think you can stand your ground in this industry? I’ll see how you fall!”

After Shu Xinyu finished speaking, she took a deep breath and returned to her usual cold and aloof expression. Then, she took her bag and left.

Qiao Mu’s fists were tightly clenched, and her nails dug into her palms, causing her to be in so much pain that she could not breathe.

After a while, all her strength was drained and she fell weakly on the sofa.

Why?

She did not do anything wrong, but her heart ached.

Was it wrong for her to protect her own interests? Was it wrong of her to give Ning Tongtong the punishment she deserved?

Why did Shu Xinyu act as if she had done something unpardonable and treated her as the main culprit?

Just because Shu Xinyu was Ning Tongtong’s mother and she didn’t have a mother, she should be bullied?

Qiao Mu knew from a young age that there had to be a right and a wrong in everything. Qiao Ya bullied her, and Yu Tingyun abused her. She felt that she deserved it because she was the illegitimate daughter who barged into their lives and destroyed their family, so she had always endured it silently.

She was already very satisfied that she could live a healthy life in the Qiao family and go to school. Therefore, she wanted to rely on her own efforts to graduate from university and leave this life.

She was willing to take responsibility for her mistakes. Similarly, she would not be soft-hearted when others made mistakes.

She had never felt that she was so kind that she could forget the pain others had caused her.

However, what right did Shu Xinyu have to be so confident that she had to let Ning Tongtong off?

If she was the unlucky one today, would they be considerate enough to give her a way out after she was schemed against by Ning Tongtong?

At this moment, Qiao Mu had never been so unwilling to know who her parents were.

She had never believed in the gods, but she wanted to pray to the gods that she would not feel despair for her mother again.

She would rather not find her biological parents in this lifetime than suffer another blow.

In the past few years, Zhou Jieru had hurt her enough.
