She Lost Memory Before the Divorce-Chapter 19 - 00 She Will Definitely Live Well

Chapter 19: Chapter 0019 She Will Definitely Live Well

“I don’t have much to explain about this matter. If Big Brother blames me for not informing you and Mother-in-law, I have nothing to say.”

Huo Tingxiao maintained a balanced composure, which seemed to frustrate Mu Huaifeng somewhat.

“Mom is not well, and Dad’s death was already a huge blow to her.

It’s probably for the best that she doesn’t know about Lanlan’s memory loss.

However, that doesn’t mean I agree with your decision to hide it.

Lanlan is my only sister. If she is happy, I can let go of anything else, but if she’s not…”

...

Although he didn’t speak harshly, the pressure Mu Huaifeng gave was significant, yet Huo Tingxiao was not intimidated by his brother-in-law, instead, he felt guilty about Mu Lan.

“Big Brother, rest assured, she will definitely live well.

I won’t just say it, I will show you my sincerity.”

Mu Huaifeng raised an eyebrow, a look of puzzlement in his eyes.

“Sincerity?”

Huo Tingxiao looked at Mu Huaifeng and spoke lightly.

“I came today because of the Mu Corporation shareholders’ meeting.

Director Qin and Director Peng have already agreed to vote for you.”

Those two crafty foxes were ambiguous when he negotiated with them before. What means did Huo Tingxiao use to make them relent?

Besides, their relationship had always been tepid. How could he pull off such a big favor without uttering a word about it until now?

Mu Huaifeng never believed in miracles like manna from heaven, only in profits, which are the true nature of businessmen.

“Are you doing this because you want to establish a position within Mu Corporation?”

That was the only possibility! Otherwise, his meddling made no sense at all.

“I’m not interested in Mu Corporation, it’s all for Mu Lan.”

This statement stunned Mu Huaifeng. How had Huo Tingxiao suddenly become so concerned about Mu Lan?

A few months ago when he saw Mu Lan, she was listless, and Mu Huaifeng almost thought they were heading for divorce.

How had things changed so drastically in the blink of an eye?

What was Huo Tingxiao really planning?

“I can handle Mu Corporation well enough, you really don’t need to go to such lengths.”

“I just can’t stand to see her worried, that’s all.”

“…”

Masters’ battles are always lethal yet bloodless.

“If I remember correctly, you were quite resistant when you two got married.

It’s been tepid for the past seven years, so why all of a sudden…”

Each of Mu Huaifeng’s words was like a knife stabbing at his heart.

“It’s because I didn’t understand her well before.”

Huo Tingxiao was also genuine, not intending to whitewash his past actions with pleasant lies.

“So, you mean to say you understand her well now?”

Not willing to let him off easily, Mu Huaifeng really took the opportunity to assert his authority as the elder brother-in-law.

“I’m trying to understand her.”

It was truly a struggle to explain to this extent. After all, there was a foundation of seven years between them. The aspects he used to dislike had their reasons now, and with a recent change in perspective, Huo Tingxiao, a man with strong learning abilities, naturally excelled in self-reflection.

Of course, this was the first time in thirty years he had reflected so deeply, unprecedentedly for Mu Lan.

This was also the first time a woman made him feel guilt.

By the time his guilt had dissipated, the two of them had become those kind of lukewarm, polite strangers.

“If you want to understand her, then truly understand her, otherwise, I’m afraid that once she suddenly regains her memory, you won’t have a chance anymore.”

Mu Huaifeng’s voice-over made Huo Tingxiao furrow his brows. He couldn’t help but suspect that Mu Huaifeng knew about Mu Lan’s previous request for a divorce.

But since he had chosen not to clarify it, there was no need for him to dig too deeply.

“I will keep brother’s words close to my heart,” he said.

———–

The two talked for more than an hour before coming out of the study. Hearing someone descend the stairs, Mu Lan who had been slumped on the sofa sprung up like she was on springs, dashed to Mu Huaifeng, and behaved like a dog seeking its master’s affection, almost as if she only needed a tail to wag.

“Brother! Have you finished talking?”

Mu Huaifeng looked at his sister, a complex emotion fleeting across his eyes, as he reached out to ruffle the top of her head.

It had been so long since he had seen Mu Lan this lively. He truly missed it.

“You little girl, not even mentioning you’re coming home early. What if I weren’t here?”

Mu Lan giggled and hugged Mu Huaifeng’s arm, acting coquettishly.

“I definitely don’t need to say it in advance; we’re telepathically connected, after all.”

Huo Tingxiao watched her radiant smile, a feeling he couldn’t quite describe stirring within him. She seemed to have never smiled at him like that before.

Even if she did smile, it wasn’t from the heart, as if she were wearing a mask.

“Lanlan, you’re grown up now, how can you still be so childish and not composed at all? Tingxiao is going to laugh at you,” warned Shen Ying, glancing at Huo Tingxiao to gauge his reaction.

“The way she is now is pretty good; she doesn’t need to be too composed at home,” he replied with a double entendre, causing Mu Lan to glance at him. He really was getting stranger. But this strangeness was something Shen Ying very much liked, initially thinking her daughter’s words were just comforting, not expecting them to truly reflect Huo Tingxiao’s changes.

“See, Tingxiao himself said I’m fine this way,” said Mu Lan, playfully blinking, her demeanor sunny, just like old times.

Mu Huaifeng watched her and couldn’t help but harbor some selfish thoughts. He truly hoped she would always stay as happy as she was now, otherwise… recalling something, his expression darkened momentarily.

As if life had a new beginning, as long as she was happy, that was more important than anything else.

“Madam, dinner is ready.”

Compared to Mu Lan’s ease, Huo Tingxiao seemed very stiff.

“Aunt Zhang has prepared some simple home cooking; I don’t know if it suits your taste, Tingxiao, please don’t be polite.”

This remark made Mu Lan slow down her chewing and look up at Huo Tingxiao.

The implication was clear— he hadn’t dined at home often, otherwise, the question would have been whether he liked this dish and should eat more of it.

Indeed, Huo Tingxiao really must have disliked her before, not even willing to engage in basic pleasantries, which explained the surprise on her mother’s face when he appeared.

“Hmm,” he responded.

Picking up his chopsticks elegantly, even his dining was graceful.

“This Hangzhou pepper beef is one of Aunt Zhang’s specialties and also my favorite. It goes well with rice.”

Mu Lan directly served Huo Tingxiao some with her chopsticks, an action normally mundane for a married couple but which caused Shen Ying to widen her eyes in shock.

She clearly remembered her daughter mentioning her son-in-law was a germaphobe. Yet, here she was directly serving him food…

Huo Tingxiao naturally tasted it; it was indeed flavorful, complementing the rice exquisitely, leaving a lingering taste.

“It’s delicious,” he commented.

This truly was a sign of red rain from the heavens; could it be that her beloved daughter had finally weathered the storm to see a clear sky?

Compared to Shen Ying’s ecstatic joy, Mu Huaifeng remained composed.
