Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

“What benefits does it bring you by standing against me?”

 “You do not share our surname. Suddenly, you came to our family. But, you didn’t beg us to accept you nicely and you even acted so recklessly. Why shouldn’t I stand against you? Moreover, don’t you think that you’re snatching away what belongs to Ruoyi?” Cen Suyun said everything righteously. She appeared like she was the right one there. But, she could not help it given that Mu Qiqi was now standing in Ruoyi’s way.

 “Do you know what Ruoyi wants?” Mu Qiqi smiled coldly and asked her.

 “You don’t have to bother about it. It is because you must let her be no matter what she wants!”

 Cen Suyun said that Qiqi was arrogant. But, it seemed to be the other way around.

 “Don’t say that I’m not tolerant. Even if I let her have it, Ruoyi might not be able to accept it wholeheartedly!” Then, she shoved Cen Suyun away.

 “Just you wait and see. Surely, there’ll be an interesting scene tonight…”

 Mu Qiqi could still hear Cen Suyun’s sarcastic voice behind her. Then, she went into the house and came to Grandpa Shen’s study.

 “Grandpa…”

 “Why are you upset?” Grandpa Shen asked her. “Did anything happen? It’s not nice if the Sheng family sees you like this.”

 Mu Qiqi did not complain about it in front of Grandpa Shen. But, she sent a message to Sheng Xiao. “Third Aunt went to the Sheng family yesterday and condemned me in front of your mother. Xiaoxiao, will you mother hate me because of this?”

 Sheng Xiao burst into laughter all of a sudden when he read that message. “Why are you so afraid? Will it hurt you deeply if my mother dislikes you?”

 “Yes, I’ll be very sad because she’s your mother. I want her to like me…”

 “Don’t worry. If somebody did that kind of thing to you, you’re not the one who is humiliated. Trust me, okay?” Sheng Xiao raised his firm opinion. “Surely I know how my mother is.”

 “Fine, I’ll trust you.”

 Since it had happened and Cen Suyun acted so shamelessly, she could only count on her wits now.

 But, she would talk it over with Third Aunt later on.

 Mu Qiqi felt better when she thought like that. It was not worthwhile if her good mood was being spoiled by such garbage.

 ***

 The others were unaware of it. But, Mu Qiqi was not the only one who was nervous when she knew Mama Sheng was coming to the Shen family. Shen Ruoyi was nervous too. She wanted to leave a good impression in front of Mama Sheng because she liked Sheng Xiao.

 If she wanted to be with Sheng Xiao, she needed to be liked by the Sheng family. So, she felt that she needed to please Mama Sheng more than Mu Qiqi. Before Mama Sheng came to the Shen family, Shen Ruoyi locked herself up in the room and started dressing herself up nicely.

 After a while, she walked out of the bedroom and it scared Cen Suyun. “Daughter, why are you dressing up like that?”

 “Isn’t…there a special guest coming for a visit? So, I dress up nicely…” Shen Ruoyi turned around and showed her mother. “Is it beautiful?”

 “Of course.” Cen Suyun sighed. Her daughter was indeed one of a kind. How was it possible that her daughter was any less than Mu Qiqi given her figure and appearance?

 But, that little bitch was Grandpa Shen’s favorite now. How blind the others were!

 Shen Ruoyi was wearing a yellow long dress. It showed off her nice figure well. She seemed no different than a celebrity given her exquisite makeup and luxurious jewelry .

 But, it was rather extravagant, dressing up like that at home.

 But, Cen Suyun felt that it was just right given that Mu Qiqi would appear less in front of Shen Ruoyi.

 Soon, Shen Ruoyi went to the living room. The others felt that it was rather strange when they saw how grand she dressed herself up.

 But, Mu Qiqi could understand why Shen Ruoyi acted like that. It was because Shen Ruoyi wanted to leave a good impression in front of Sheng Xiao’s mother.

 “Qiqi, take a look at your cousin. It seems like she’s going to walk on the red carpet, dressing up like that…” Huang Yu smiled beside Mu Qiqi. “Look at how plain you seem.”

 Mu Qiqi took a look at herself. She was wearing a white short skirt. Although it was not luxurious, it made her seem rather cute and playful. She smiled too. “I think this is quite good…”

 “Yes, it’s good but it’s not nice if you’re exaggerating or falling short.”

 Cen Suyun noticed that Mu Qiqi was discussing her daughter with Huang Yu. Why? Were they jealous?

 Mu Qiqi did not want to bother about Third Aunt. It was because Third Aunt was waiting for a good scene the whole night.

 But, Third Aunt might not get what she wished for according to what Sheng Xiao said. On the other hand, Third Aunt herself would become the one who was humiliated.

 Soon, it was seven o’clock at night. Huang Yu had ordered the chef to prepare a grand feast. They were waiting for Mama Sheng to come so they could start to enjoy the feast. So, all of them were waiting to receive the special guest in the living room now.

 Mama Sheng was punctual. At a quarter past seven, a beautiful car reached the Shen family. She even brought along a gift. It was quite thoughtful of her.

 “Old Mr. Shen…” Mama Sheng went toward Grandpa Shen and shook his hand. “It’s been a long time since we last met. How are you?”

 That was the first time Mu Qiqi met Sheng Xiao’s mother. Her first impression of Mama Sheng was quite good. Mama Sheng was very elegant. She was wearing cheongsam at the moment. Her manners were elegant and graceful. Surely, it was not something to be compared to the other ordinary people.

 Moreover, Sheng Xiao looked like his mother.

 She had medium long hair and it was slightly curly. Moreover, her skin was fair and young. She seemed quite captivating given her age. It was clear as to how well she took good care of herself.

 The Shen family was busy greeting Mama Sheng, including Shen Ruoyi. She went toward Mama Sheng and held her hand. She then said, “Aunt, it’s been a long time since you met me.”

 “Why are you addressing me as your aunt? It’s wrong!” Mama Sheng could be considered as a grandma for Ruoyi given their relationship.

 “But, you’re so young. How could I call you my grandma?” Shen Ruoyi retorted to her grandpa immediately.

 “How sweet you talk!” Mama Sheng patted Shen Ruoyi’s hand and praised her. At that moment, Mama Sheng noticed Mu Qiqi who was standing beside Grandpa Shen. It was the girl from all of the rumors she heard about.

 “Are you Qiqi?”

 “Qiqi, faster greet her!” Grandpa Shen said immediately. “Sheng Xiao needs to act obediently too. Don’t you be impolite here.”

 So, did she call Mama Sheng as her grandma too?

 Mu Qiqi could not bring herself to say that. At last, she said, “Beautiful aunt.”

 “Why are you the same as Ruoyi? How could you be rude?” Grandpa Shen could not help but scold her.

 “Old Mr. Shen, don’t trouble them…” Then, Mama Sheng waved her hands at Mu Qiqi. “Come, let me take a closer look at you. I want to see what kind of a girl you are given that my son is so protective toward you.”

 Actually, Mu Qiqi was indeed quite nervous.

 Her palms were covered in sweat.

 But, Mama Sheng was indeed not a common person. She did not appear condescending or fierce.

 Mu Qiqi went toward Mama Sheng.

 Mama Sheng held out her hand and stroked Mu Qiqi’s hair. She then smiled. “This little girl seems quite witty. Her eyes are indeed crystal clear.””

 Cen Suyun saw that. It was not right. Why did Mama Sheng not slap Mu Qiqi directly?
