Chapter 524: Are You Capable of Fighting in Front of Her?
The case caused a stir in Jianchuan. And the scene of Mu Qiqi and the professor working at the crime scene was aired in the news. All the Shengs saw the footage, including Sheng Kai and Sheng Bowen who just came home.
They had only ever heard about Mu Qiqi studying forensic science before without actually seeing her holding a scalpel. They were still unable to relate this little girl who was always the center of gossip to being Sheng Xiao’s love.
But when they saw her in the crime scene, they finally understood that Mu Qiqi took her work very seriously. She was not just doing it for fun.
“I can explain it, but I think Xiao Qi looks very cool.” Hu Ran leaned against Third Brother’s arm and whispered to him.””She really looks like a forensics doctor. I am sure she will make a big contribution in the future and become a person stronger than any of us.”
‘Seeking justice for the dead.’ When Third Brother thought of this, he chuckled. “Only she and Eighth Brother live a decent life.”
“Slut. If it weren’t for her, the case would not have been exposed so soon.” Gu Ziling cursed. “If I get the chance, I will make her pay her price.”
“Second Sister-in-law, it’s not that I underestimate you. But with your capabilities, you can only be a paper tiger in this house. You have no other specialty or power, even in terms of your financial power before Gu Corporation collapsed. What more your political power. She has a mayor and a chief in her family. Besides, she is getting used to seeing all sorts of corpses and fighting against all sorts of people, do you think you are capable of fighting in front of her?” Hu Ran laughed.
“Just you wait.”
With that, Gu Ziling went into her room.
And Grandpa Sheng said, “Xiao Ran, I know you have suffered in the past. But she is your second sister-in-law anyhow. You should control yourself.”
“Grandpa, she started it. She is the one so determined to fight with Mu Qiqi and then caused all the mess.”
“Don’t say that. I just never thought that that girl could really become a forensics doctor and stand touching those disgusting corpses.”
What?
Had he always thought that Mu Qiqi was just joking?
Or that she was just rebelling?
He was too self-righteous.
…
On the other hand, when Lu Qianqian saw her best friend on the television, she called Mama Lu. “Mommy, Xiao Qi made it to the news. I should work harder now.”
“Qiqi is such a brilliant girl. I’ve always thought that being the partner to the Crown Prince of the Sheng family, she would not be able to choose such a career. Now, she did not just do it, she did it with such great achievements. How unexpected.”
“No, Sheng Xiao is no longer the Crown Prince of Huang Yao.” Lu Qianqian corrected her mother.
“You have done a good job too. The company is well managed recently. Many of the big projects are being carried out smoothly under the vote of the shareholders. You really impress me. Won’t it be fantastic if your father could see you now?”
Seeing her mother tearing up, Lu Qianqian comforted her quickly. “Alright now, don’t be a crybaby. Why must you mention this when everything is fine?”
“I just want the Lin family to see the bright side of you, my child. You are definitely a good match for the grandson of Old Lin.”
Lu Qianqian chuckled and comforted her mother. “Let’s eat. He will, eventually. Don’t worry.”
The uncles of the Lu family were always scheming for something. They had not been able to take action because Lu Qianqian was well protected. Before she hired the bodyguards, they could still put snakes in her room or execute some other harmful plan. But now, with the female bodyguard always by her side and the male bodyguards guarding her in close proximity, it had become a Sisyphean task.
Moreover, Lu Qianqian was in fact quite good in business. When she restarted the projects that were put aside by Papa Lu, she did not cause Lu Holdings to lose money. This had made the boards of the directors acknowledge her ability.
After all, her training to become the successor was not just a joke.
The people in Lu Holdings previously thought that she would not be able to even read a report. But boy, were they wrong as she did not just know how to read one, she could even point out the mistakes.
So, they believed the company would be able to get back on track shortly. All the sufferings were finally coming to an end. However, the Lin family was still a thorn in her heart.
She wanted to do something. She really wanted to make changes.
…
In the evening, Mu Qiqi dragged her exhausted body home. She had been travelling all day. Her body had reached its limit.
When Mama Sheng saw her, she quickly held her.
“Mommy, don’t, I really stink.”
“You don’t think I can stand it when Eighth Brother can? You underestimate me.” Mama Sheng smiled. “Go upstairs and wash up first. Aunt Wu has made your favorite dishes. You must be hungry.”
“Okay.”
Sheng Xiao hadn’t come home yet because he had a dinner meeting with Secretary He.
Mu Qiqi went upstairs to take a bath and somehow fell asleep in the bathtub. Had Sheng Xiao not discovered her in the tub when he got home, she would have drowned in it.
Earlier in the evening, Secretary He had laughed at Sheng Xiao while they were having their meal. “This little sister-in-law is such a character. I never thought she would really become a forensics doctor. With such a rich family, it must not be easy for her to be able to stand this. So I won’t tease you today. You should go home early. She should be very tired after working so hard the whole day, and will be relieved to see you after such a tiresome day.”
“It’s so embarrassing.” Sheng Xiao laughed along.
“Just go. I can handle the rest. They can understand. They won’t make it difficult for you.”
“I shall thank you in advance.” Having said that, Sheng Xiao left the dinner meeting. And when he got home, he saw Mu Qiqi sleeping in the bathtub.
Her feet were blistered. They didn’t look like the feet of a young lady at all.
She certainly looked like she didn’t cherish her body.
Sheng Xiao fished her out of the water and put her on the bed so that she could sleep more comfortably.
When he got changed and went downstairs, Mama Sheng asked, “Where’s Qiqi?”
“She’s asleep. When she is hungry, I will get Aunt Wu.”
“Just let her sleep.” Mama Sheng smiled. “It caused such a sensation when she was on the television today. Her grandfather, her father, and the rest of the Shens must be very proud of her. Although Old Shen did not say it, I could guess from his face that he acknowledged Xiao Qi’s seriousness and dedication.”
“You have all seen itl. I’m the only one who hasn’t,” said Sheng Xiao.
“You can watch it after dinner. People, both men and women, are most charming when they have strong professional skills and work hard.”
