Wu Meiting didn't make things difficult for her. She just snorted through her nose and watched as she left.
Walking out of the corridor near the restroom, Mu Xiangwan still felt odd. She obviously hadn't expected Wu Meiting to let her go so easily. She had assumed that woman would take the opportunity to stir things up again, at least—say something cutting and sarcastic.
Perhaps her personality had undergone a huge shift after being "reformed" in prison. As Mu Xiangwan sat back down at her seat, she optimistically thought to herself: If she really were able to change a bit and stop being so obstinate, it would be better for both of them.
The waiter stood by as her stepmother had already ordered her own dinner and passed the menu to Mu Xiangwan. Looking at the menu now, Mu Xiangwan found herself without an appetite. She quickly ordered some pasta and handed the menu back.
