Chapter 142: We Will Humiliate Her Tonight
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mu Qiqi was totally different from Mu Tangxue. And now, all the Shens were quite impressed with Mu Qiqi. They did not even notice that Third Aunt had left with Mu Tangxue. Their attention was on Mu Qiqi now.
Second Aunt asked, “I heard that you are studying forensic science. But you are a girl. What makes you want to work with the corpses? And it will be hard for you to get a boyfriend when you reek with the foul smell.”
“When Grandma Mu passed away, only Mu Tangxue and I were at the scene. I was slandered as the culprit who caused her death because there was no proof to prove my innocence. I was even chased out from the family after the incident. Then, after some time, someone told me I could study forensic science. Since then, I have made up my mind to speak for the dead. There is nothing bad about it.”
“You indeed have a good point.” Second Aunt got to know Mu Qiqi more after the conversation. She did not reject Mu Qiqi mainly because of Rong Junhan. Rong Junhan did not seem to reject the girl.
“I just never expect that you and your sister would have such deep hatred between each other.”
Mu Qiqi smiled softly. There was much more between her and Mu Tangxue. This was just a small part of it.
Grandma Mu’s death, the exchange of their test papers, Mummy’s death, et cetera. For all these, Mu Qiqi could already kill Mu Tangxue a thousand times.
And that was what she was going to do tonight.
“Mu Tangxue seems to have a good relationship with Third Aunt. How long was it since Mu Qiqi was here? And they are already nowhere to be seen.”
“Don’t bother about them. We will chat among ourselves.” Grandpa Shen beckoned Mu Qiqi to go to his side. “Since you have made up your mind to be a forensic doctor, then you should prove your ability and not let me down.”
“Of course. I will be responsible and live a good life, I promise.”
“Have you got a boyfriend?” Aunt Er could not help but asked Mu Qiqi. “I know that young people now tend to fall in love at a young age.”
…
Third Aunt dragged Mu Tangxue into her room when the elders and Mu Qiqi were chatting happily in the living room. She said, “You silly girl, why can’t you keep your cool? Can’t you see that your sister was well prepared? She must have someone who taught her to behave like that.”
“But… Third Aunt, what should I do now? The whole family does not seem to like me.”
“That is because they hold prejudice against you. Anyway, it is just a small meeting up with the family. Wait until night, you leave a good impression on the guests. It might be your chance to shine.”
“But I really did not expect Mu Qiqi could be so arrogant. Third Aunt, I am also the flesh and blood of the Shen family. I do not want to lose.” Mu Tangxue cared a lot about how people see her. It was the most important thing to her. But now that everyone was praising Mu Qiqi, what had become of her?
“Give me a moment.” Third Aunt thought hard.
Although she knew that Mu Qiqi was backed up by the Sheng family, she was still willing to help Mu Tangxue.
The reason was simple. Mu Qiqi was too clever. She would not let anybody control her.
But Mu Tangxue was different. Her weakness was obvious and so was her desire.
“We will humiliate her tonight!” Third Aunt signaled Mu Tangxue to come closer with her finger. She whispered her plan into her ear. “But you will have to suffer a bit.”
Mu Tangxue shook her head and said, “As long as Mu Qiqi is hated by everyone, I can do anything.”
“What you have to do now is to keep calm until the guests are here.”
After a long discussion and plotting, the two returned to the living room. This time, Second Aunt saw them. She laughed and said, “Third Sister, you are so good at comforting people. Mu Tangxue looks better now.”
“Tangxue is a straightforward person. She will accidentally make people unhappy sometimes, unlike some other person who can make everybody so happy.” Third Aunt laughed and said. “But, it is better to be careful with the person who is clearly trained by someone beforehand, Second Sister. An eighteen-year-old can behave in the perfect way. You better watch up before you fall into the trap. If not, you will be counting money for her even before you realize it.”
Mu Qiqi knew that she was the one Third Aunt was talking about.
As for someone who was not good at words, Second Aunt could only stare at Third Aunt angrily after being humiliated.
After witnessing the incident, Mu Qiqi could understand what Sheng Xiao meant by the sisters-in-law were not on good terms now.
“They have not even officially returned to the family and you are already so eager to choose sides?” Grandpa Shen snorted. “It is not worth the fight. Let’s go and look at the presents Qiqi prepared for each of you. They are her sincerity to you.”
Actually, it was Jing Yun who had prepared the presents. She had nothing to do with the presents.
Soon after, Second Uncle exclaimed, “It is my favorite Da Hong Pao Oolong Tea!”
Second Aunt quickly opened her present after hearing what her husband said. “This massager is only available abroad. It has been out of stock for a long time.”
“These presents are in fact well prepared. This niece has really put in her effort to know everyone’s preference,” Third Aunt said sarcastically. “Since you like them so much, you can have my present as well. Tangxue, how can your honesty beat this?”
Mu Qiqi did not say anything. She exchanged a glance with Grandpa Shen.
The drama seemed to be getting more and more interesting.
“Alright, you can do whatever you want for now. Qiqi, come and talk a walk with me.”
Grandpa Shen stood up and led Mu Qiqi to the fishpond. He asked, “You know perfectly well that Mu Tangxue is not a member of the Shen family, right?”
“Yes, I am aware of that,” replied Mu Qiqi.
“Must you only reveal the truth at the last moment?”
“Grandpa, this person killed Grandma Mu and Mommy. I can forgive anybody but her. She must get the worst out of what she did.”
“Then, do you know who made your father into this misery?” Grandpa asked. But before she could answer, he blurted out. “It is that scum, Papa Mu!”
“Is it confirmed?”
Grandpa Shen put his hands at his back and nodded. “There will be many guests tonight. I will let you take the floor.”
“Do you really think that Mu Tangxue will not try to do anything, Grandpa?”
‘Let’s see if she can…’
To avoid any unnecessary encounters with the Shens, Mu Qiqi stayed with Grandpa Shen fishing by the pond. They were enjoying a good moment between a grandfather and a granddaughter.
In the evening, the guests made their appearance at Shen’s mansion. Soon after, the sky was dark.
The ceremony would start in a moment. All the guests were here, but they never expected to see Sheng Xiao coming from Huang Yao.
He was still nervous for his little one in the end!
“Young Master Sheng is here!”
“The Young Master Sheng?”
The guests saw Sheng Xiao. He went straight to the garden and found Mu Qiqi with Grandpa Shen.
“Xiaoxiao…” Mu Qiqi was excited to see him. She nearly shouted his nickname.
