Both mother and daughter were well aware. The Lu family was only interested in Bai Qiushui because she was Bai Zhenkai’s daughter.

After Mu Yao’s mother passed away, Shen Changqin brought Bai Qiushui to the Bai family. Mu Yao was only fifteen years old, the most rebellious period of her adolescence. Mu Yao didn’t want to acknowledge them as her stepmother and stepsister.

Mu Yao had a few big quarrels with Bai Zhenkai.

Bai Qiushui also intentionally told Mu Yao that she was Bai Zhenkai’s biological daughter.

After Mu Yao heard this, she disappeared.

Bai Zhenkai sent people to find Mu Yao. He could not sleep for a few days and nights. Finally, they found her in her mother’s old house, the Mu residence.

Bai Zhenkai found Mu Yao and wanted her to go back with him.

Mu Yao refused and even moved her household register to the Mu family. She even removed her surname Bai and went by Mu Yao.

At that time, Bai Zhenkai was very angry, so he did not bother her.

He only went to visit her every few days. He also gave Elder Mu some money.

One day, Elder Mu passed away.

Bai Zhenkai wanted to bring Mu Yao home. However, Mu Yao threatened him with her life, refusing to acknowledge him as her father.

She also said that if Bai Zhenkai went to look for her again, she would disappear forever.

Bai Zhenkai’s heart was completely broken. From then on, he never went to look for Mu Yao again.

Later on, Mu Yao got into A University. Bai Zhenkai didn’t know anything about her relationship with Lu Jinchen until they married.

The Lu family had always thought Mu Yao was from a small family. They had always looked down on her.

Lu Qing even bullied her in different ways.

After the divorce, Mu Yao didn’t return to the Bai residence. Instead, she went overseas.

Shen Changqin’s heart calmed down a little when she thought of this.

“Don’t worry. Nobody else could investigate your father’s private affairs. After Mu Yao was forced to get a divorce, she had no choice but to go abroad to seek shelter with Murong Qian instead of returning to the Bai family. Now, it’s even more impossible for her to get along with your father.”

“Then what should we do? I’m afraid that Jinchen…” Bai Qiushui did not continue. The two of them were very clear.

Mu Yao divorced Lu Jinchen because she thought that Lu Jinchen had cheated on her. It was not that she did not love him anymore.

However, the reality was Bai Qiushui staged the whole thing. If Mu Yao found out that Lu Jinchen didn’t cheat on her, they would fall in love again.

“Mom?” The more Bai Qiushui thought about it, the more upset she felt.

“Stop talking! Let me think of a way.”

“What good ideas can you have? Didn’t you let Wang Shuo out on purpose last time? You even told him about Mu Yao’s whereabouts, but what happened? Not only was Mu Yao unscathed, but she also won the Yuan Expo project.”

“Then who can you blame? If Lu Jinchen didn’t come out of nowhere, we wouldn’t be in so much trouble now.”

Shen Changqin got angry at the thought of this. Fortunately, Wang Shuo was no longer around, so no one would know they were in cahoot with Wang Shuo.

On the day Wang Shuo kidnapped Mu Yao, Shen Changqin had specially asked Bai Qiushui to go to the company to delay Lu Jinchen. However, Bau Qiushui couldn’t find Lu Jinchen

Why did she raise such a useless daughter?

“It’s all your fault. It’s been so many years, but you can’t even handle a man. You’re such a disgrace.”

“Why are you scolding me?” Bai Qiushui felt wronged. “If it weren’t for my help, you would not win Bai Zhenkai’s heart so quickly. You couldn’t compare to Mu Yao’s mother!”

“You!”

Shen Changqin didn’t expect Bai Qiushui would provoke her.

She grabbed the cup on the table and threw it to Bai Qiushui.

“You heartless brat! Don’t you know I’ve done all the things for you?”

Bai Qiushui’s arm was hit by the cup, and she grimaced in pain.

“I don’t need your help. I’ll think of a way myself.” After Bai Qiushui finished speaking, she slammed the door and left.
