Chapter 1836: I Was Very Wrong
Once the governor gave the order, the police immediately used force. Mu Qingling struggled desperately as they tried to drag her away.
She clung to the foot of the bed with both hands, refusing to leave. Qi Huiyin was crying and holding her daughter’s hand, begging for mercy.
Right now, the mother and daughter pair really regretted their actions.
They felt so guilty that it made them sick.
At this moment, Qi Huiyin realized that what Mu Xigui said before had not been just to scare her. If he found that she had abused Mu Qingxuan or treated her poorly in any way, he was indeed going to ask her to leave.
She was a divorced woman with a child and no one to rely on. Back then, she had had a difficult life in Jiang District. At night, she walked the streets with her daughter. One day, a group of immigrant workers noticed her and wanted to humiliate her while the police were off duty. She thought she was going to die, but she was found by Mu Xigui, who was passing by.
At the time, Mu Xigui was already a young and promising governor.
She initially thought that since she had been saved by the governor, if she got to know him, she could create a small business. Then, no one would dare bully her and her daughter.
However, not long after she went to the governor’s house to thank him, she received a call from himwhen she returned home. He said that she mildly resembled his child’s mother. He said that his child missed her mother very much, so he wanted her to step in as the child’s stepmother.
However, he would only marry her in name, not with any of the usual emotional ties. He would merely marry her to tend to his daughter’s needs and emotions.
Only God knew that upon hearing that, she was overcome with joy and agreed without hesitation.
As a result, she went from being a single mother with no income whatsoever, just trying to find a job in Jiang District, to being the governor’s wife, a woman everyone respected.
At first, she was really grateful to Mu Xigui for giving her the opportunity to be Mu Qingxuan’s mother—she sincerely wanted to be a good mother.
However, she soon came to realize that no matter how much she tried to seduce Mu Xigui after their marriage, he was unmoved. When she found out that Mu Qingxuan was a compassionate and well-behaved young lady who was very considerate of her father, she changed and no longer held her tongue.
Bit by bit, her heart went from feeling gratitude to feeling anger and dissatisfaction. Her feelings for Mu Qingxuan also went from being maternal to being selfish. She only wanted her own daughter to prosper. Eventually, once her daughter grew up, Mu Qingxuan became a thorn in her side. She was afraid that once Mu Qingxuan became an adult, Mu Xigui, who had never properly been with her, would divorce her.
Once they divorced, even if she could get some property, she would definitely not get close to half of it.
That was why she wanted Mu Qingxuan to die.
Once Mu Qingxuan died, her Qingling could inherit more.
At this moment, as Qingling was handcuffed, Qi Huiyin felt extremely regretful.
Thinking back to the time when she used to have nothing, she realized that she had gotten everything she wanted—but had not known how to cherish it.
Even if Mu Qingling did not get as much as Mu Qingxuan, she would still get an objectively large sum of wealth.
“Mom! Mom, save me! Mom, save me!”
“Old Mu, I was wrong! I understand my mistakes! Just let Qingling go! It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have taken your money and been so harsh toward Qingxuan. Can you forgive me?”
Qi Huiyin returned to her senses and grabbed Mu Qingling’s hand tightly, pleading desperately.
