“Aunt, if you are not willing to accept me as your daughter-in-law, you should talk to your son,” Mu Tangxue said seriously.
“You… Mu Tangxue, don’t forget who was the one who brought you out of the slums. I didn’t expect you to be so ungrateful!” Mama Ye couldn’t accept it.
“I told you already. If you want to talk, talk to your son. I would still be living just fine in the slums if not for him. Did I beg you to save me? We know who you do this for. It’s just that nobody can stop your son now. What can I do about it?”
Mama Ye choked. She knew very clearly that Mu Tangxue didn’t like Ye Jingcheng at all. The only reason she agreed to become Ye Jingcheng’s girlfriend was to protect that teacher.
“I can protect that teacher for you. You don’t have to use yourself in exchange for his safety.”
“You can’t.” After saying that, Mu Tangxue turned her head and looked at Ye Jingcheng. “Are we going in or not?”
Ye Jingcheng couldn’t listen to anything anymore. Perhaps he would even be willing to die as long as Mu Tangxue stayed by his side.
“Ye Jingcheng!”
Mama Ye was helpless. So, she could only wait for them to leave before calling Papa Ye. “Come back quickly. The family is in a mess and you are still on a business trip!”
In the guest room, Ye Jingcheng knelt in front of Mu Tangxue and held her hand. “Tangxue, I finally got you back.”
Mu Tangxue suppressed her disgust once more and let him hold her right hand. After a while, she said, “Let me go. I’m tired.”
“Okay, then. Go on and rest.”
After that, Ye Jingcheng stood up and touched Mu Tangxue’s bangs. “I will make you ten times happier than Mu Qiqi.”
“Don’t let me know that you trouble Mr. Lu behind my back.”
“Why would I? I can’t wait to thank him.”
Mu Tangxue’s eyes darkened. She didn’t want to be happier than Mu Qiqi. In this lifetime, when she first saw Mr. Lu, she knew that her karma had come for payback. Maybe it was because she had done too much evil in the past that she couldn’t get his love. Anyway, so what?
At least she could protect the person most important to her, so that he would not be harmed anymore.
As for Ye Jingcheng…
His suffering would come soon.
…
The next day, Mu Qiqi woke up early. She planned to go straight to the police station, but before going out, she saw Sheng Xiao talking on the phone with Ye Jingcheng.
“Chief Sheng, I’m sorry to call you early in the morning, but I have great news to inform you. Mu Tangxue has come back to me.”
“Really? Congratulations.” Sheng Xiao was indifferent.
“You should feel bad. Because I will make Mu Tangxue more dazzling than Mu Qiqi. That’s the thing you don’t want to see the most, isn’t it?”
“If you’re done talking, I’ll hang up.”
“You don’t like to listen to what I say?”
“Not really. But also, the hospital’s called me. Mr. Lu has just woken up and I’m going to visit him now. I don’t have the time to chat with you.” After saying that, Sheng Xiao hung up the phone and turned to look at Mu Qiqi. “I should really change my number. Otherwise, the people will think that anyone can simply talk to me directly. It’s so annoying.”
Mu Qiqi smiled. “You’re too cruel. The one who is upset now is Ye Jingcheng. Although he seems very proud, he’s just a paper tiger. The existence of Mr. Lu is enough to make him feel terrible.”
“Mu Tangxue has gone to the Ye family…”
“I know Mu Tangxue too well. She will only turn the Ye family upside down.” Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao from the corner of her eyes. “Do you trust me?”
Sheng Xiao snorted and pinched Mu Qiqi’s chin. “If I don’t trust you, who else will I trust?”
Mu Qiqi pecked Sheng Xiao’s lips quickly and left the bedroom. “I’m going to the police station.”
Sheng Xiao stood up straight and tidied his clothes. Then, he waved his hand at Mu Qiqi. “Hurry up.”
Mu Qiqi wrapped herself in her thick coat and got into Xu Che’s car. Suddenly, she felt that it was time for her to learn how to drive. It was more useful to have Xu Che follow Xiaoxiao.
When Mu Qiqi arrived at the police station, she saw Feng Shanshan with crossed arms. Feng Shanshan looked her up and down. “Have you reconciled with your sister?”
“Are you kidding me?” Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes. “The grudge between me and Mu Tangxue will never be resolved in this lifetime.”
“But you’re still helping her.”
“It’s complicated.” Mu Qiqi refused to explain further. “How’s the case?”
“Tang Yan had checked on all the people related to Tang Yixiao but found no suspect. So, he thinks that the murderer must be someone from the school,” Feng Shanshan explained.
“Why on Earth did he go to school so late?” Mu Qiqi held her chin with her hand and fell into deep thought. “There are so many cuts on his body but there are no traces of a struggle. This shows that there is a big possibility of him having been ambushed. One stab was enough to make Tang Yixiao fall. Shall we find out the sequence of the cuts?”
“Senior is doing it already. Besides, we met with Tang Yixiao’s mother last night, but we didn’t get anything useful from her. His mother had no idea about his matters.”
“There should be many people who dislike him at school.”
Mu Qiqi took a deep breath and casted her eyes on the new forensic doctor.
“What about him? Is he going to stay or leave?”
“The higher-ups insist on keeping him here. What do you think about that?” Feng Shanshan rolled her eyes. “But he has already seen how fierce Tang Yan is. He probably won’t mess with him anymore and will just sit still. We’re going to the crime scene again to look for other clues. Coming?”
Mu Qiqi nodded.
They soon arrived at Hong Wen University. There was a lot of gossip going around the school.
“Did you hear about it? Mu Feifei came this morning to drop out of school.”
“Isn’t it what she should do? I heard that Mr. Lu was hit by the second-generation rich man last night out of jealousy and he nearly died. The school has even decided to sack Mr. Lu.”
“Teacher-student love relationships are unconventional. Things have turned so ugly. I never thought that Mr. Lu was such a person.”
Mu Qiqi’s eyes darkened. If she were Mu Tangxue, she would never tell anyone about Mr. Lu. It was as good as putting Mr. Lu on the chopping board if she did that.
She was actually so reckless, and great, she had now hurt an innocent person.
His reputation was ruined, and his job was gone.
Mu Tangxue should be very happy now.
“Your sister’s intelligence is so different from yours.” Feng Shanshan burst out laughing. “Anyway, it can be understood. You have different fathers, of course you’re different.”
“It’s not funny.” Mu Qiqi glared at Feng Shanshan coldly.
“It’s a pity, what happened to the good teacher. What did he do wrong?”
