After the conversation, mother and daughter parted on bad terms.
Liang Yinqiu locked herself in the room and did not come out for half an hour. Mu Yu knew that her words had been too harsh and intended to apologize, but just as she reached the door, Liang Yinqiu opened it and emerged, still looking quite upset.
"Mom…"
Before Mu Yu could finish, Liang Yinqiu interrupted her, "Accompany me to buy a gift."
Mu Yu did not catch on at first, and after a moment of confusion, she remembered to ask, "Buy a gift for what?"
Liang Yinqiu was slightly annoyed, "Didn't you just give me a righteous lecture, insisting that I should make amends? I'm old enough anyway, not afraid of losing face. Let's go."
Only then did Mu Yu understand her meaning and quickly reached out to hold her, "Mom, I didn't mean anything else by what I said. I was just feeling indignant for Shen Cheng, that's all. Don't overthink it, really."
