The Legitimate Daughter Doesn’t Care! - Chapter 1

Xu Xinduo sat in the dining hall, calmly eating dinner.

The Mu family’s dining hall was like an independent garden. At its front there was an arched floor-to-ceiling window overlooking a small garden whereas inside the dining hall, there were potted plants and a huge wine rack that was stocked full with various types of wine.

Presently, it was deep in the night and the floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the light emitted by a crystal chandelier, a sight that was similar to fireflies illuminating the night.

The ‘parents’ whom she had met just a few days ago sat across Xu Xinduo and were conversing about something. Beside her sat Mu Qingyao, a girl who lived in the Mu family for 16 years in her stead.

The atmosphere was strange and awkward.

At this time, Father Mu said, “Xinduo, we are going to arrange for your transfer. We do hope that you can also transfer to the same school as Yaoyao and Xiaoyi.”

Xu Xinduo did not speak and continued to sit upright, eating the food that was placed in front of her.

Her movements were neither fast but nor was it slow. When she ate, there was a hint of laziness in her actions. She had an inviolable noble temperament which seemed to be very consistent with her appearance.

Xu Xinduo was undoubtedly beautiful, but her overall temperament and facial features would come off as ‘being sick of the world’.

Her entire being was cool and beautiful, but no one was allowed to approach her.

Realising that he hadn’t gotten an answer even after a while, Father Mu continued, “Uh… Xinduo, is there a problem? Perhaps you’d prefer to stay at your original school?”

Xu Xinduo slowly put down the chopsticks, looked up and replied to Father Mu, “I’m sorry, I’m not used to talking when I’m eating. I’m totally okay with transferring to another school, so I’ll just leave it to you folks to handle it.”

Father Mu suddenly flinched.

It was often said that one shouldn’t talk while eating. However, the Mu family didn’t have this rule. In fact, that made them appear as if the Mu family didn’t have much of an etiquette.

He smiled and said, “It’s a good habit. We will arrange for you to enroll into a regular class of the Jiahua International School. We originally wanted to arrange for you to enroll into an advanced class as both Yaoyao and Xiaoyi are also in the advanced class. But this class needs to be met with certain grade requirements upon enrollment and it’s not something that you can just enter directly. You can start to work hard after you get into the school and obtain the qualifications to enter the advanced class through examinations.”

Mu Qingyao said while eating a mouthful of cooked rice, “I think Xu Xinduo is okay. It’s said that her academic performance in the town’s high school was not bad.”

However, everyone was aware that the qualifications of the faculty teachers of the town schools were totally different compared to that of the international schools. It was questionable whether Xu Xinduo could keep up with the progress of her studies here, so enrolling into the advanced class was like a fantasy.

Xu Xinduo suddenly said, “I want to enroll into the International Class, preferably Class Four.”

Hearing this, Mu Qingyao’s movements faltered.

Her fiancé should have been Xu Xinduo’s fiancé and he was also in the International Class Four. She glanced at Xu Xinduo immediately and cursed inwardly. 

She wants her fiancé back?

Ridiculous!

How could my boyfriend ever fancy such a country bumpkin?

Let alone the fact that Xu Xinduo still bears the position of an adopted daughter.

Father Mu was a little surprised and asked in amazement, “Are you planning to study abroad? The materials in the International classes are all taught in English and no one will translate them for you. Can you keep up with that?”

“I can,” Xu Xinduo replied very firmly.

Mu Qingyao immediately retorted “You better be rational. Otherwise, you’d be unable to make sense of what you’re hearing and will thus make yourself the laughingstock of the class.”

Xu Xinduo ignored her.

Mu Qingyao looked at Xu Xinduo’s indifference and gritted her teeth.

Father Mu also mentioned another matter, “We want to change your name. Do you have any names that you like?”

Who would have thought that Xu Xinduo would unexpectedly refuse the offer, “Why don’t we just leave it as it is?”

Father Mu still insisted, “After all, you are a child of our Mu family. How can you bear the surname Xu?”
