Chapter 640 - 636 I Can’t Forget Him (3rd Update)
Mu Qingxue left. She just left Bai’s Group, her heart shattered, without even the intention to greet Bai Zhiqing.
Her sole purpose for coming to Bai’s Group was to find Lu Tianxing and see if he still remembered her. Unfortunately, the answer she received broke her heart. Lu Tianxing remembered her, but her knight in shining armor was protecting another princess, a princess who was not her.
Mu Qingxue did not know how she managed to leave Bai’s Group. All she knew was that when she sat in the car, she felt as if all her strength had been drained, tears uncontrollably rolling down her cheeks, her shoulders slackening slightly, feeling waves of sourness emerging from the bottom of her heart.
She had not expected the person she had missed for so many years to reject her in such a manner.
Gongsun Ye sat in the driver’s seat, watching Mu Qingxue’s distraught appearance in the back seat and sighed deeply. He did not need to guess to know what had happened. He felt a mix of happiness and sorrow.
He was happy that Mu Qingxue might finally move on and no longer have to endure the pressure from the Mu Family. After all, the Mu Family would never allow Mu Qingxue to be with Lu Tianxing. Matching social and economic statuses was a tradition in China that had not disappeared for thousands of years.
If Mu Qingxue insisted on being with Lu Tianxing, she would have to endure the immense pressure of the entire Mu Family. This pressure was unimaginable and could even lead to the destruction of both Bai’s Group and Lu Tianxing under the wrath of the Mu Family, or a scenario where both sides suffered losses. Being stuck in the middle, Mu Qingxue had the most difficult role. Now that it was over, she no longer needed to bear the family’s pressure.
What made him sad was that he always treated Mu Qingxue as his own granddaughter, and it was because of his presence that the Mu Family had not forced her to marry someone. Seeing his own granddaughter cry so heartbrokenly made him feel extremely pained and worried.
"Miss, don’t cry. If there’s anything, talk to Grandpa Gongsun. Don’t keep it inside, it’s not good for your health."
