The Legitimate Daughter Doesn’t Care!-Chapter 362
This time, the cooperation that Father Mu was very interested in was completely voided. His initial investment would be wasted and the sales channel would be directly cut off as well.
But that would just be the beginning.
As Father Shen was a good person and had many friends in the business circle, after learning about Father Shen’s experience, partners who had a good relationship with him also cut off their contact with Father Mu.
Though neither party disclosed the matter, the others knew that whatever it was, it had to be pretty grave for Father Shen to call off the marriage.
Father Mu’s company was already in jeopardy, but this time it completely collapsed. He sat alone in the office as the shutters on the transparent glass walls remained open, so the panicked situation outside could be seen from the gaps.
The office outside of his was his assistant’s office and there were three people in total.
The other employees went in and out of the assistant’s office as the three assistants were all busy. From their expressions and appearances, he could see how devastated and helpless they felt at this time.
Someone seemed to want to knock on the door and come in to ask Father Mu for further instructions, but he was stopped by the senior assistant.
Then, the senior assistant took a young man out of the company, seemingly to meet up with the partners who suddenly wanted to terminate the contracts in a hurry.
Father Mu suddenly calmed down and his mind was very clear at this time.
He knew that what happened this time was probably irreversible. Father Shen was normally someone approachable and the two were also college classmates back then. For him to break off their friendship, it showed just how angry he was regarding this matter.
A few years ago, Mother Shen wanted to break up the engagement between the two children. She felt that the Mu family was going to drag them down. In her eyes, her son was top-tier, so it made sense for her to find the best daughter-in-law in order to match his status. All along, she felt like Mu Qingyao was kind of ordinary and her family background wasn’t all that impressive either.
The engagement remained because it was Father Shen who had a good friendship with Father Mu. Besides, the relationship between the two children was pretty good as well and he had been working hard to maintain it.
This time, now that matters have gotten worse, Mother Shen would definitely make a big fuss. However, he never thought that he wouldn’t even have the time to form a contingency plan before Father Shen came storming into his office.
This was the last sliver of affection that Father Shen left to Father Mu.
Was it a wrong decision?
My wife and I are divorced; my company is going bankrupt.
All this because of one decision?
Oh, he thought that it was true— it was true that he severely disappointed Mo Xinyun; it was true that he hurt his children…
He sat alone in the office of the company that was about to collapse. He took out his phone, but there was no one to comfort him.
He suddenly began to think of Mother Mu and suddenly remembered his glee of surprise when he first saw her.
She wore a long black floral dress overlaid by a light blue denim jacket. Her long hair was wrapped in a shawl as she walked past him, arm in arm with her friend, smiling ever so sweetly.

Mu Qingyi also learned of the news at home as he sat alone on a rattan chair in the lobby of the multimedia building.
There was a creeping silence in the hall and only a few lights were turned on. He sat alone in a position where the lights gradually diminished, as if he was on a communication line that was being swallowed by darkness.
He was hesitating, deliberating whether or not to tell his mother about Father Mu.
