C489 Mother-to-daughter Interaction
Hua Qinghe didn't understand and asked him, "What's right?"
Elder Hua smiled lightly, and said shamelessly, "You know that I relied on my own craftsmanship to walk step by step all the way to today. However, back then I was the same as you, and I had things that I couldn't let go of in my heart. Even after so many years had passed, I was still unable to calmly face that matter. "
Hua Qinghe knew that he was talking about his past, but she didn't know the details.
"Old Hua, this might be your life." Hua Qinghe was also somewhat touched. Even though she had safely stayed in the Hua Family for so many years, wasn't Mu Qingqing still waiting for her?
Sometimes, the arrangement of fate was not something that could be avoided just because one wanted to.
Elder Hua thought so. Ever since his wedding to Hua Qinghe in name, he had never played with women outside like he used to. When people thought he had a wife, his heart was at ease.
Indeed, his heart was as still as water. As he distanced himself from the strong perfume, he felt that his life had become more and more interesting. Today, Hua Qinghe cooked chestnut roast chicken, tomorrow made scallion cake, the day after tomorrow the table with an additional homely bean curd soup. She had made the kitchen of the house smoky, but he had been out eating less and less.
But after so many years, he didn't even dare to hug her.
His thoughts drifted further and further away...
"Old Hua, I owe you a lot these years. In the future, if you need me anywhere, you can call me anytime." Hua Qinghe waved the phone in her hand. The only thing she took away from Hua Family was the phone that Elder Hua had given him.
"Don't say that you don't owe me, I saved your life. You've helped me for 16 years, we're already even." Elder Hua didn't like her saying that she owed him. It was as if all these years, Hua Qinghe had always wronged him by staying in the Hua Family to repay his kindness. Although the truth was right, he just didn't like the idea.
Hua Qinghe was slightly stunned as she did not expect Elder Hua and Mu Qingqing's argument to be the same.
"I'm going back to H Nation tomorrow. You two can find me anywhere you need my help." Elder Hua had asked Hua Qinghe to hold a banquet.
"Are you in such a hurry to go back?" Hua Qinghe also knew that he was always busy with business, but he had just come here from abroad.
"There's something wrong with the business." Elder Hua answered half-heartedly.
Dinner would be cooked by Hua Qinghe personally, while Mu Qingqing would remain in Hua Family for dinner.
After dinner, Mu Qingqing waited in the car for Hua Qinghe. She started the car and concentrated on listening to the conversation between Elder Hua and Hua Qinghe.
"This card has been your salary for sixteen years. The password is written on the back of the card." Elder Hua handed a gilded bank card to Hua Qinghe.
"It's not appropriate." Hua Qinghe refused to accept it.
"When my family was getting married, you helped me a lot, so you deserve the salary." Elder Hua insisted that she keep the card.
"Hua Qinghe couldn't beat him, so she could only accept it." Old Hua, my family has been farmers for generations. I don't know how rich you are either. However, after being friends with you for so many years, I still want to advise you to take care of your body. Money is just something that you don't have. It's something that you can neither bring back, nor take away. The money you earn is enough for you to spend your entire life. "
The smile disappeared from Elder Hua's face as he stared at Hua Qinghe. She had never told him such a simple truth in the past ten years. Now that he was about to leave the Hua Family, she comforted him.
Hua Qinghe turned around and walked in the direction of the parking lot. Her back looked as gentle as usual.
She saw through his exhaustion and advised him to cherish his body. This consideration moved him. If it wasn't for the fact that he was almost fifty years old, he would have been unable to suppress the urge in his heart to keep her.
Watching Hua Qinghe and her mother leaving Hua Family, Elder Hua also walked towards the hall.
"It's better if he leaves." He mumbled to himself.
"..."
It was already late in the night, so Mu Qingqing wanted to bring Hua Qinghe back to her rented apartment. Before she went back, she drove to Shinjuku's Shopping Center and once again went to Zhenying's Dress Shop.
The shop assistant from last time was still in the shop. Seeing Mu Qingqing come this time, he respectfully stood aside.
"Aunt Hua, buy some clothes that you like." Mu Qingqing gestured for her to choose her clothes.
Hua Qinghe hadn't been to a shopping mall for many years. She looked at Mu Qingqing uneasily. She was still wearing the pink dress that Elder Hua had bought for her.
"Don't worry, this shop was opened by my senior. The quality of the clothes in this mall is just passable. When I'm free next time, I'll take you somewhere else to look around." Mu Qingqing knew that she was embarrassed, so when she left the Hua Family, she brought her original clothes and a card that Elder Hua gave her. This was definitely not enough.
"If I had to choose, I might pick out the clothes I don't need and take the rest home." In order to let Hua Qinghe put down her guard, she said half-jokingly.
Hua Qinghe looked at her reproachfully. She lowered her head to look at her 'antique' dress. It was indeed out of date. Thus, she began to carefully choose among them.
"Is this your sister?" The shop assistant saw the figure of Hua Qinghe as she changed into a new outfit. She was also wearing a mask, so it was impossible to tell her real age. She just praised him a little too much.
"No, no." Hua Qinghe denied it again and again. She looked in the direction of Mu Qingqing, but she still didn't say the words "mother".
"I... I'm her aunt. " Hua Qinghe also knew that there was still a long way to go.
"Oh …" You look really young. " The clerk praised her.
"This is my mother." He suddenly realized that it was actually not that difficult for him to say the word 'mother'. Mu Qingqing admitted it frankly.
Hua Qinghe turned her head to look at her, feeling extremely excited.
"Mom, choose a few more sets." Since she had already shouted, and she was her blood relative, Mu Qingqing didn't feel awkward anymore as she shouted loudly.
Hua Qinghe seemed to have something to do with it. She happily replied, "Ai, alright. "Good girl."
Although there was no smile on Mu Qingqing's face, she had her own thoughts. It was a little late to get married. After experiencing so many things, the hatred in her heart had already begun to submerge her rationality.
The peace and tranquility of this world was brought about by the weight and progress of the past generation.
The Mu Family owed them so much, she had to repay them handsomely!
The first thing she planned to do was to go to Zhan Yufei's and Mu Xiaoyou's wedding.
Their wedding wasn't low-key at all. The entire Zhaoxi City of the media had made their wedding known to the entire city. From time to time, Mu Xiaoyou's and Zhan Yufei's photos would appear in the entertainment newspaper as the headlines of the mansion's secret. The reason for this, Mu Qingqing guessed, was probably because of Yang Haochi's efforts to add fuel to the fire.
This piece of news did not seem like a bad thing to Mu Family, because the media had made up this matter as though it was a childhood dream. Praise them for being a match made in heaven. After writing it all down, there was only two words that left an impression on the spectator — true love.
Towards this kind of news, not only could it increase the fame of Mu Family, it could also increase the good impression the citizens had of Mu Family. Naturally, Old Master Mu didn't need to suppress it. In his previous life, when he died, he didn't see Mu Xiaoyou getting married. In the end, he found out that Mu Xiaoyou and Zhan Yufei were already together.
Now, Zhan Yufei had changed his marriage partner. If he could become a real couple with Mu Xiaoyou, it would be true love.
As his parents lived near the wedding of Zhan Yufei and Mu Xiaoyou, naturally, they had to prepare all the dowry for the wedding. And what Old Master Mu valued the most in his life was Mu Family's face. On this matter, he was not stingy enough to donate pearls worth ten million from his own treasury.
When he was working on the Party for Number One Scholar for Mu Qingqing a few years ago, these people did not participate. Now that they found out about the wedding, they naturally valued it a little, as they all wanted to give Mu Xiaoyou some form of gift to curry favor with her.
Mu Qingqing had thought about these things carefully before. In this matter, as long as there was room for discussion, one could open the button to heavily injure one's Mu Family.
"Qing Qing, these two sets are enough. Let's go back." Hua Qinghe chose two suitable sets and prepared to go back.
Mu Qingqing gathered her thoughts and shook her head. She took out four sets of clothes from the rack and handed them to the shop assistant, asking her to wrap them up.
The sales clerk helped her wrap up the clothes with a wide smile.
"Little girl, this is such a waste." Although Hua Qinghe was holding the card that Elder Hua gave her, she was not a spendthrift person. To suddenly buy so many sets of clothes, she felt that it was too much of a waste.
"Don't worry, I still have this little bit of money." Mu Qingqing reassured her and insisted on carrying a few bags of clothes out.
Then she took Hua Qinghe upstairs to the pajamas store and bought her two sets of pajamas and some underwear. This round of shopping had cost him 10,000 yuan.
It was too late for Hua Qinghe to stop her. She could only watch as Mu Qingqing spent her fortune like dirt for her.
"Little girl, it's hard to earn money from you, why did you spend so much for me …" Hua Qinghe was extremely ashamed. During the Hua Family period, Mu Qingqing was always up early and greedy, earning the hard work money, but now she was spending it for her.1
"It's easier for me to earn money than it is for you. It's nothing." Mu Qingqing didn't seem to care at all as she carried her things towards the elevator.
Hua Qinghe thought for a moment, then stuffed the card that Elder Hua gave her into Mu Qingqing's pocket.
"If you recognize me as your daughter, don't be so formal. If you keep treating me like an outsider, I'll accept doing so. " Mu Qingqing was calmer than Hua Qinghe. She understood Hua Qinghe's feelings, but this card was her only source of income. If she gave it to Mu Qingqing, she wouldn't even be able to eat.
Hua Qinghe had no choice but to take it back.
"There's still a long time left. You still have to live with me for a long time, and everything is so clear. How can we get along?" Mu Qingqing spoke first. She also knew that Hua Qinghe was not used to idle food.
