When Mu Tangxue got into the police station, she played dumb as she normally did. No matter what the police asked or how infuriated Papa Mu was, she denied everything.
Since Papa Mu and the police had no evidence, they could only let Mu Tangxue escape from her crime.
When Mu Tangxue got out from the interrogation room, her face was wet with tears as expected. If people did not know her true evil self, they would already be tricked by her face.
“There is nothing more to do, Miss Mu. You can go now.”
“Sir, I just want to ask. Will Uncle Mu be sentenced to death?” Before Mu Tangxue left, she asked the police officer beside her.
“Sentencing is the job of the judge. I cannot answer this question.”
The police did not know what Mu Tangxue was thinking about. But the truth was, she was afraid that if Papa Mu was sentenced to prison, he would get revenge on her when he got out of prison.
But she could not tell the police her concern.
When she walked out of the interrogation room, seeing Grandpa Shen and Su Zipei chatting, she started worrying again. This time, she was worried that Su Zipei would tell Grandpa Shen bad things about her.
“Done? Did the police say anything?”
“Everything is done, Grandpa. We can go home now,” said Mu Tangxue between sobs.
And right at that moment, Su Zipei stood up and said, “Although it was not you who did that, I would rather believe what your father said.”
“Aunt, I know you hate me because of my sister. But, I am your niece as well. Even though I was bad, I have changed now. By the way, killing Mommy is a big offence, I will not admit it if I am not the one who did it. Please do not say that again,” Mu Tangxue felt miserable and started sobbing.
Grandpa Shen quickly comforted her. “Since you are innocent, you should not cry. Wipe away your tears and let’s go home.”
“Yes.” Mu Tangxue nodded and wiped away her tears. Then, she left with Grandpa Shen.
Su Zipei sneered. But she knew it was almost impossible to prove that Mu Tangxue was guilty.
It didn’t matter. Mu Tangxue still had a long suffering to go through!
After Su Zipei got everything done, she called Mu Qiqi. Mu Qiqi had also taken care of her registration.
But it was just that because she was so famous, all the new students gossiped about her when they saw her on campus.
“Isn’t she Mu Qiqi, the one who got in with seven hundred and thirty marks? I never expected that she would enroll in the Faculty of Forensic Science. That is the most unpopular faculty.”
“When she retook the paper alone, she knew that people would be questioning her qualifications. Although the paper she answered was revealed, it was still a retake and she sat for the paper alone. So, perhaps that is why she chose Forensic Science.”
“I had read her answers, all of her answers were right at the point. I have rarely seen a girl who is so good at physics.”
“It is just the beginning of the semester and she is already a legend here. I am so jealous of her.”
“But, it is a shame that she was disowned by her family. I don’t think she is that good anymore. She is an unwanted daughter of the Mu family, there is nothing good about that.”
Mu Qiqi heard them along the way. Although they did not mean to hurt her, they commented a lot about her. So, she decided to keep a low profile. She just wanted to attend school instead of being famous. Moreover, she needed to be even more careful when she had a relationship with Sheng Xiao. This was her fate.
And, who was the daughter of the Mu family? She was a Shen!
Mu Qiqi returned to the police station once more. She had not seen Papa Mu since he was caught. Although the law could not prove Mu Tangxue’s guilt, she still wanted to know clearly how she planned it with Papa Mu and caused the death of her mother.
The police arranged a meeting for Mu Qiqi and Papa Mu.
When Papa Mu saw Mu Qiqi, he looked calm, unlike when he saw Mu Tangxue. “What do you want to know? I have told the police everything.”
“I want to know what Mu Tangxue told you.”
“She told me not to worry about anything. She would take care of my divorce with that woman. She told me she would not let that woman get a single cent from me. Also, she reminded me to agree to all the conditions that the woman demanded because she would help me to get what I wanted.” Papa Mu smirked and said, “But now, she denies everything.”
“You are the one who raised this wolf. Of course you will have to bear the consequences yourself,” Mu Qiqi said to Papa Mu’s face. Then, she stood up. Just as she was about to leave, Papa Mu opened his mouth.
“Qiqi, I so desperately wish that you will choke her to death. Since you hate her very much, you will, right?”
“I won’t!” Mu Qiqi shook her head and said, “Because I will make her suffer worse than this.”
“Let me tell you one more thing. I am indeed the daughter of the Shen family, but Mu Tangxue is your daughter. I swear. She is not a Shen.”
Papa Mu laughed as he heard this. “So, she is acting all high and mighty in front of me but she does not know she is not a Shen?”
“Will you tell her this?”
“This is such an interesting thing. Why would I tell her?” Papa Mu questioned her back. “After all, my family has been broken into pieces. It is my fate to live the rest of my life this way. In this case, why would I let her live a better life?”
Mu Qiqi smirked and walked out of the police station. This time, for good.
Later, Sheng Xiao drove his car right to the entrance of the police station. He honked several times.
After Mu Qiqi figured out who the man in the car was, she let out a sigh of relief.
“Revengeful lil’ princess, can we go home now?”
“Why do you get off work so early today?” Mu Qiqi asked the man with sunglasses.
“I wanted to send you to school this morning. But I had an important meeting at ten. So now, I am compensating you.” Sheng Xiao turned his head and looked at Mu Qiqi “How about a candlelight dinner?”
“Why is it so grand? What are we celebrating?”
“Today is the day Papa Mu is caught and the day you started university. More importantly, it is the day the Shen family has turned upside down. Should it be celebrated?”
Sheng Xiao gave her a charming but somehow playful smile. “I feel so good when other people aren’t doing well. The real Young Lady Shen, please grant me my wish!”
