Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 57: You Won’t Be Innocent Soon

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Qiqi saw Mama Mu leave school with Mu Tangxue, but she did not care.

Once upon a time, she had hoped so dearly for her own mother to take her side and defend her so that she would have an easier time with her father’s blaming.

Nonetheless, it was now clear that Mama Mu had always been on Mu Tangxue’s side.

Still, she would love to know what tricks Mama Mu had to protect Mu Tangxue.

Now, the whole school finally knew why the quarrel between the pair of twins was so horrific.

It involved a life!

Both Mu Qiqi and Mu Tangxue blamed each other, with the former being disowned over that matter.

The fate of the twins hence changed dramatically.

During recess, Qian Qian, who was staring at Mu Qiqi while resting her head on her palm, shook her head. “With that freak sister of yours and her ability to act, it’s no wonder you’re the one chased out.”

“That’s the past. Do I look like I’m still trying to compromise with her now?” Mu Qiqi snorted coldly.

Qian Qian smiled, saying nothing and giving Mu Qiqi a huge thumbs up.

Sheng Xiao had quickly seen the text from Mu Qiqi and smiled thoughtfully.

Since Mu Tangxue wanted her own demise so dearly with zero self-consciousness, he naturally would grant her wish. Wouldn’t it be letting down her goodwill otherwise?

Sheng Xiao had waited for this moment for a long time after she had bullied Mu Qiqi for so long.

After all, the agreement with Papa Mu previously had stopped him from going public on his own, but now…

Mu Tangxue presented herself on a silver platter, and he would really be putting her ‘hard work’ to waste if he did not seize that chance!

Therefore, he quickly called Jing Yun so that his assistant could notify the police, and then arranged for lawyers and the media to have the Mu family bite the bullet.

Soon, Papa Mu’s secretary received a call from the police notifying that someone had informed them regarding a murder case, and that they would be sending someone over to verify the matter.

Papa Mu’s face changed at once.

Even though he managed to rush home without delay, the police and the lawyers Jing Yun had sent were already waiting at the gates.

Having met before, Papa Mu spoke forthrightly, “Didn’t we agree not to reveal this matter? Where’s the good faith as contract law dictates?”

“Please hold your temper for the moment, Mister Mu, because this has nothing to do with us. Miss Mu Tangxue, your daughter, was the one who exposed the entire story in front of the whole school. To maintain the integrity of our client, Miss Qiqi, we could only entrust this matter upon the police.”

Although the lawyer appeared to be explaining matters, he was in fact shifting the entire blame onto Mu Tangxue.

Papa Mu’s face became a bloated red in his indignation.

“You have to keep it in check!”

“Mister Mu, you have to know what kind of school Eaton is and the families each student there comes from. Do you think we can really keep things quiet with the cat out of the bag?” the lawyer asked in return. “If anything, your daughter must be held accountable. We didn’t want to make this trip at all.”

The lawyer smartly threw away all responsibility.

Meanwhile, Papa Mu held back his rage. All he could care about right then was that word did not spread, and that Mu Shi would not get dragged into the matter.

And where was that insolent wretch now?

To actually pay no attention to his caution, how bold could she be?

Soon, the police began to ask questions, to which Papa Mu simply answered, “Nothing like that happened. Those are all words from a childish quarrel!”

“That won’t do. What if your daughter tries to tarnish Miss Qiqi’s reputation in public again?” the lawyer retorted relentlessly. “If you don’t cooperate, Mister Mu, the only thing we can do is to give you the summons.”

In other words, the lawyer was saying that they were taking the case to court regardless, and that they would not simply let the matter go.

In a bind, Papa Mu immediately called up Mama Mu. “Where are you? Bring that little wretch home and have her see for herself what she’s done!”

Mama Mu was shaking when she received the call.

She was bringing Mu Tangxue to hide in Grandpa Mu’s place right then…

After school, Mu Qiqi got on Old Lin’s car, and she hugged Su Zipei once she reached home. “Aunt Zipei.”

“Sweet child…it’s been hard on you.” Su Zipei could not help but sigh.

“Can I go out tonight with Brother Xiao? I want to know what’s happening at the Mu family and how Mu Tangxue is doing.” Mu Qiqi pleaded. “I’ll make it home before twelve for your birthday.”

“I’ve already got your present, silly. A birthday is just another day—just go.”

Su Zipei nodded. She knew that only Sheng Xiao could help Mu Qiqi now.

“Thanks, Aunt Zipei!”

Mu Qiqi called Sheng Xiao later, telling him that she would go to the revolving restaurant near the amusement park alone to wait for him.

“Stay put and wait somewhere warm, or I’ll punish you if I find your hands ice-cold!” he replied, and quickly finished his work at hand so that the little one wouldn’t get anxious.

Mu Qiqi sat in front of the glass window within the revolving restaurant, watching as the ferris wheel outside turned. Soon, she saw Sheng Xiao’s figure too.

Without a word, he carried her and took her to the private VIP room, then closed the door. “Didn’t I tell you to wait somewhere warm?”

“I wanted to see you at once!” Mu Qiqi quickly explained.

Sheng Xiao lifted her chin and drew in the sweetness of her lips by habit before taking out his phone, showing her everything that had happened at the Mu family mansion.

“That’s…”

“One of the lawyers recorded it!” Sheng Xiao replied.

Mu Qiqi leaned into his chest and watched the whole exchange between the lawyers and Papa Mu. From what she could tell from his reaction, Mu Tangxue was going to suffer.

“If my guess is right, the Mu family would send someone to ask you for forgiveness. You can set whatever conditions you want then.”

“No, Mu Tangxue would still find a way to escape,” Mu Qiqi replied, knowing Mu Tangxue well enough to know that there was always going to be a way out her.

“Don’t you get it, little one? Whatever she does, you can just sit back and enjoy the show.”

“That’s true.” Mu Qiqi could not help beaming. “Xiaoxiao, could I really prove my innocence if I keep pursuing the matter?”

“You want to be innocent, and yet here you are, hugging and kissing me?” Sheng Xiao lowered his phone and gave her a dangerous look. “In fact, you won’t be innocent soon…”

Mu Qiqi understood that hint right then, and blushed!

“You always leave me flustered,” she pouted. “It’s my defeat, you thug.”
