"Maybe it's because you aren't likeable" Mu Ling said coming down from the stairs followed by Mu Feng
"Dad you will have to seek justice for me" Mu Xiao said sniffing pitifully
"Mu Ling stop taunting your little brother" their father said coming to his last son's aid.
"Don't worry brother I will personally pick food for you and you're also cute and very likeable" Mu Xiu said to him refuting Mu Ling's claim, his ears turned red from shyness.
"Alright let's eat" Ling Rui announced happily. They went to the dining table and they took their seats started eating, as promised Mu Xiu picked food for Mu Xiao personally
"I love sister the most" Mu Xiao said with a bright smile
"You've said that to everyone if us" Mu Feng taunted but Mu Xiao was too happy to retort. After breakfast they all got ready to start their day, when Mu Xiu saw that her mom was busy with the household matters she went to meet my her dad who was in the study room, she knocked on the door twice
"Come in" Mu Linfeng replied from inside, Mu Xiu opened the door and went inside
"Dad can I have a word with you" she asked
"Sure Mu Xiu, take a seat and tell me what's on your mind" Mu Linfeng said dropping the document he was holding and gave her his full attention
"Dad I want to build up my life back so I can't just sit at home doing nothing, I also want to contribute to the family" She said pausing
"Mu Xiu I've already told you don't have to feel like you are a burden and if you really feel idled I can ask your brother to give you a job at the company" Mu Linfeng said
"No dad I don't want a job at the company I want a spot at the military, the National Defense Academy to be precise" she said after a deep breath, Mu Linfeng was stunned and couldn't react at first .
"Mu Xiu do you even know what you're saying the training at the national defense academy is very harsh and as my daughter you've already suffered a lot I don't want you to go through any more suffering and besides your Mom won't agree to this" he said shaking his head in disapproval, personally he didn't want his daughter to go through that harsh training his daughter is meant to be pampered.
"Dad it doesn't matter how hard the training is I still want to go I've made up my mind. Dad my eldest brother is a business tycoon, my second brother is an international actor and my third brother is already a famous scientist at his age but I'm too weak physically and mentally and weak people are meant to suffer in this world this is what I've come learn" she said firmly
"I want to make a name for myself and I want to make sure that no one can ever step on me again, although I know that my brothers can afford to take care of me my whole life but Dad I want to be worthy of the name Mu so please support me Dad"Mu Linfeng fell silent because he knew that he had no reason to turn her down and he was also proud of her thinking she's truly his daughter, a member of the Mu family they didn't rely on others.
"Fine, Dad will support you but your mother won't agree to your plans" he said with a sigh, he knew his wife very well she will immediately go on a rampage when she hears this.
"I will try my best to persuade Mom but I will need your help" she begged
"Don't worry I will help you, I will take care of the application and I will also find out when the assessment is taking place" Mu Linfeng replied
"Okay Dad" Mu Xiu said .
