Mu Ning Jing was a little stunned. She didn't expect Mu Yiqing to get close to her. She was stunned for two seconds before she nodded in agreement.
Mu Yiqing picked up the teapot and poured tea as he asked, "How long have you been in Fan City?"
Mu Ning Jing thought for a moment and said, "Ten years."
Mu Yiqing nodded and placed the tea in front of Mu Ning Jing.
Mu Ning Jing didn't expect Mu Yiqing to pour tea for her. She should be the one pouring tea for him. She quickly got up in embarrassment. "Thank you."
Mu Yiqing sensed Mu Ning Jing's restraint. He smiled and gestured for her to sit down. "Sit down. We're just from the same hometown. Relax."
Mu Ning Jing sat down again.
Mu Yiqing poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. He looked at Mu Ning Jing and asked, "Did Mom come to Fan City with you?"
Mu Ning Jing nodded and looked down at the tea in her hands.
Mu Yiqing tightened his grip on the cup. "May I ask for Mom's name?"
Mu Ning Jing felt that Mu Yiqing seemed to be very curious about her background. Was he deliberately asking this to mock her, or did he really not know?
Mu Ning Jing couldn't be blamed for thinking this way. After all, Mu Yiqing was Yu Anna's father. He suddenly changed his mind about signing the contract for this project. It was very likely that Yu Anna said something to him.
But all of this was just Mu Ning Jing's guess. Now that Mu Yiqing asked, no matter what his motive was, she could only answer, "My mom's name is Zhao Xiangping."
Bang!
The teacup in Mu Yiqing's hand fell to the ground with a loud sound.
The teacup broke into pieces and scattered all over the floor.
Mu Ning Jing was startled by the sudden sound. She looked up at Mu Yiqing and saw that his eyes were wide open. He seemed to be looking at her with shock and excitement. "Mayor … are you okay?"
Mu Yiqing muttered something, but Mu Ning Jing didn't hear it clearly. She called out again, "Mayor?"
Mu Yiqing came back to his senses. In order to cover up his loss of composure, he smiled. His smile looked especially dry. "Mom and I are classmates."
Mu Ning Jing nodded. It turned out that he was too surprised. She got up, took the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for Mu Yiqing.
Mu Yiqing looked down at the teacup. His eyes were filled with emotions. He picked up the teacup with trembling hands. "Is Mom doing well?"
Mu Ning Jing's expression was a little gloomy, and there was a faint sadness in her eyes. "My mother … passed away."
Bang!
The cup in Mu Ning Jing's hand fell to the ground again and shattered into pieces. The veins on his forehead bulged as he looked at Mu Ning Jing with a face full of grief. "She passed away?"
Mu Ning Jing nodded. Seeing Mu Yiqing's intense reaction, Mu Ning Jing guessed that he and her mother were classmates who had a good relationship. Mu Ning Jing was very relieved that someone was so concerned about her mother.
Mu Yiqing felt the world spinning around him. He held his forehead and his face instantly turned extremely pale.
"Are you okay?" Mu Ning Jing asked softly.
Mu Yiqing supported himself on the table and got up. "I'm not feeling well. I'll go back first."
Mu Ning Jing saw that Mu Yiqing's body was a little swaying. She hurried over and supported him.
Mu Yiqing turned his head and looked at Mu Ning Jing. Her eyebrows, facial features, especially the two shallow swirls, were almost exactly the same as hers. His heart ached faintly.
Mu Ning Jing felt very uncomfortable under Mu Yiqing's gaze. She wanted to withdraw her hand, but she heard him say, "Miss Mu, please send me downstairs."
Mu Ning Jing forced herself to nod. When she helped Mu Yiqing to the stairs, she saw Shuxin coming up.
Shuxin and Mu Ning Jing sent Mu Yiqing to the car before leaving.
Yu Anna helped the pale Mu Yiqing into the car. She asked in a worried tone, "Dad, are you feeling unwell again?"
Mu Yiqing waved his hand. He thought about the news of Zhao Xiangping's death and couldn't calm down for a while. "It's nothing. It's an old problem. I'll go back and take a blood pressure lowering pill."
Yu Anna said worriedly, "Let's go to the hospital for a check-up. I think the chances of you falling ill have increased this year. "
Mu Yiqing shook his head and took a few deep breaths. There were still many doubts in his heart. He turned and looked at Yu Anna seriously. "Nana, Dad wants to ask you a few questions. Answer me honestly."
Yu Anna nodded. "Go ahead."
"Do you know Mu Ning Jing's family?"
Yu Anna's eyes showed disdain. "I know. Aunt Ju said that Mu Ning Jing is the child of a mistress. To put it bluntly, she's an illegitimate daughter."
Mu Yiqing frowned. "Watch your words."
"I'm telling the truth." Yu Anna frowned and looked at Mu Yiqing. "Dad, she stole my boyfriend. Why are you still speaking for her?"
"When did Shen Tingxi become your boyfriend?"
"Dad …" Yu Anna dragged out the last syllable in a complaining tone.
Mu Yiqing continued the previous topic. "I'm asking about Mu Ning Jing's family situation after she came to Fan City."
Yu Anna was puzzled. "Why are you asking this?"
Mu Yiqing's eyes flickered. "I naturally have to pay more attention to things related to her."
The corners of Yu Anna's mouth instantly curled up. She held Mu Yiqing's arm and leaned against him. "I'm not too sure either. I heard from Aunt Ju that Mu Ning Jing's father is quite inhumane. He has crooked thoughts about Mu Ning Jing and actually wants to take his stepdaughter for himself. Mu Ning Jing was not only born lowly, but her body has probably been sullied by that beast of a stepfather. I really don't understand. What does Tingxi like about her? This kind of dirty woman … "
"Xiao Li, drive!" Mu Yiqing said as he pulled his arm out of Yu Anna's grip.
Yu Anna raised her head and stared blankly at the livid Mu Yiqing. She was puzzled. "Dad, what's wrong?"
Mu Yiqing's heart was in turmoil. He felt his back go numb and couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He turned his head and scolded angrily, "How many times have I told you? You're the mayor's daughter. You have to watch your words and actions. Look at what you've been saying!"
Mu Yiqing had doted on Yu Anna since she was young and couldn't bear to say a single harsh word to her. Today, he actually shouted at her so loudly and inexplicably. Yu Anna felt wronged and her eyes reddened instantly. "What did I say? I asked. Was it wrong for me to tell you what I know? "
"What right do you have to say that she's dirty? That's subjective assumption. What did I teach you? You have to be realistic and treat my words as wind. "
"…" Yu Anna's tears rolled down. She shouted at the front, "Stop the car!"
Xiao Li glanced at the father and daughter who were quarreling inexplicably in the backseat and smiled to smooth things over. "Miss …"
"I told you to stop the car. I want to get out!" Yu Anna said as she pushed the door open, seemingly wanting to jump out of the car.
Mu Yiqing's face was dark and cold. "Stop the car. Let her get out."
Yu Anna originally just wanted to make a scene and thought that Mu Yiqing would coax her like before. She didn't expect that he would actually ask the driver to stop the car. Yu Anna angrily pushed open the door, got out of the car, and slammed the door shut.
