Chapter 784: You’re Too Arrogant!
After sharing all that with Mu Qiqi, Li Congwen was about to leave. But Mu Qiqi suddenly remembered something and pulled him back. “Is your mother’s surname Yao?”
“How do you know?”
How did she know? Because she had seen Lawyer Shen’s “glorious” resume last night, so when Li Congwen mentioned this, she felt that it was very familiar.
With the addition of the name Shen Yu, she was not wrong.
If what Li Congwen had said was the truth, then this Shen Yu could be someone from the murderer’s side. Now that Xiao Xiao had invited him to defend Sheng Bowen, could this also be part of their scheme?
Thinking of this possibility, Mu Qiqi suddenly felt terrified and her hair stood on end. In the past, although Sheng Kai had a lot of thoughts, he had never succeeded. Suddenly coming to a realization that they were dealing with such a terrifying person, Mu Qiqi felt a chill down her spine.
“Seems like you need time to organize your things.” Li Congwen saw that Mu Qiqi did not speak and had such a complex expression on her face, so he knew that she needed time to digest it.
“Thanks, Gra.s.s Boy.” Mu Qiqi nodded.
Li Congwen did not say anything else. He took his plate and moved to another seat, leaving Mu Qiqi alone. She was in a daze because she was quickly sorting out what Li Congwen had just said in her mind.
Then, she took out her phone and hid in her room. She called Sheng Xiao and said, “Xiao Xiao, I just learned something. It’s kind of complicated. Do you have time to listen now?”
“I’ll go over tonight. You can tell me in person.” After saying that, Sheng Xiao hung up the phone and spoke to the partners on both sides of the conference table. “It’s my wife. I had to take it. I’m sorry. Let’s continue.”
Mu Qiqi put down her phone and the complexity of her feelings multiplied.
What kind of trap was this? Why were so many people involved? Why were so many murders involved? More importantly, it seemed like Huang Yao was slowly being pulled into the trap.
A moment later, Jiang Shengnan returned to her room and sat on the single bed. She said to Mu Qiqi, “The gossip between you and Gra.s.s Boy has spread like crazy within the faculty members.”
“Is that really necessary? We only shared a few words.”
“What do you mean by a few words? You’ve pulled his hand twice and both of you had weird expressions on. It looked like an affair.”
Mu Qiqi rolled his eyes. She sat on the bed and pointed at her face. “In my eyes, other than the one in my family, there’s no other man.”
“So what were you guys doing this for?”
“For an old case.” Mu Qiqi sighed. She was a pitiful person.
“Isn’t it all your fault for not interacting with others on a daily basis? So once you sort of show that you care about someone, a bunch of people will say that that relations.h.i.+p is special.”
Mu Qiqi could no longer listen to the rest of the sentence.
A moment later, she suddenly realized that a certain someone said that he would be coming over tonight.
Where though? To the resort?
“Faculty members are all at the beach, playing volleyball. Are you coming?”
“Yes.” Mu Qiqi nodded.
Since she was here, she didn’t plan on continuing being reserved. Wasn’t she here as a cla.s.smate? Therefore, Mu Qiqi specially changed into her sportswear and went to the beach with Jiang Shengnan.
However, Li Congwen’s words were still lingering in her mind.
When they reached the beach, Mu Qiqi lay comfortably on the beach. She was basking in the sun when a volleyball hit her, disrupting her thoughts.
“Are you guys playing basketball or hitting people?” Jiang Shengnan yelled.
“She wants to lie there by herself. Is it someone else’s fault?” The player replied confidently.
Only then did Mu Qiqi realize that the ball was aimed at her.
Therefore, she picked up the ball and walked to Jiang Shengnan’s side. “I’ll play with you guys.”
“Are you sure?” Jiang Shengnan was a little doubtful. She might be taller, but with Mu Qiqi’s small body, could she play?
“Trust me.”
The girl on the other side of the volleyball net was wearing a bikini. It was springtime. Wasn’t she afraid of catching a cold? It was obvious that she wanted to attract men’s attention. “You over there, if you like Li Congwen, go confess. It’s useless to hit me.”
After hearing Mu Qiqi’s words, the girl blushed. “What nonsense are you spouting? I didn’t mean to…”
Didn’t mean to?
Mu Qiqi glanced at Jiang Shengnan. “Come, I’ll show you what it means to not mean to do it.”
The six girls on the side simply a.s.signed their positions. Mu Qiqi took the free position to receive the serve and spike the ball. Every time she got the chance, she would directly aim at Bikini Girl.
“Mu Qiqi, are you doing it on purpose?”
The exchange made Bikini Girl angry.
“I was lying so far away just now and you didn’t do it on purpose. How did I do it on purpose?” Mu Qiqi asked hery. “Did I maintain my good temper for too long a time that it made you think that I’m easy to bully?”
Bikini Girl did not say anything because she knew how strong Mu Qiqi was.
No kidding. Mu Qiqi had not practiced martial arts for nothing.
“You only dare to be so unruly because you have Sheng Xiao backing you up. Mu Qiqi, you’re too arrogant!”
“You’re the one who wanted to bully others. When you realized that you couldn’t, you immediately replaced yourself with the one who was at a disadvantage. How did you come to the conclusion that I’m bullying you because I have Sheng Xiao? Weren’t you the one who aimed the ball at my face first?” Mu Qiqi asked the girl.
“When your man isn’t around, you’re always flirting with other men!”
Mu Qiqi’s gaze instantly darkened, but she was stopped by Jiang Shengnan. “Give the dean some face. Don’t blow this matter up.”
“Then why are you dressed like that?” Mu Qiqi pushed Jiang Shengnan away and askedBikini Girl directly.
“I…”
“I don’t know about others, but you and I know very well that Li Congwen doesn’t like it.” After saying that, Mu Qiqi threw the volleyball to the side.
She had wanted to get along well with these girls, but… the result didn’t seem to be satisfactory.
“As expected, you can’t judge a person by his appearance. Your temper really doesn’t match your appearance.” Jiang Shengnan followed behind Mu Qiqi and said, “In my memory, you’ve only quarreled with your cla.s.smates. Of course, you don’t have to take it to heart. If you’re far too outstanding, you’ll be envied wherever you go.”
“If it weren’t for the boredom of the spring outing, I wouldn’t be triggered over such a small matter.” Mu Qiqi felt it was a little unfair. She had only exchanged a few words with Li Congwen, and these people had already imagined an entire television drama. “Did everyone really spread the matter between me and Li Congwen very badly?”
“You heard it just now…” Jiang Shengnan shrugged.
“Forget it. Whatever. I don’t know how these people got into Sheng Ting. Their minds are filled with nonsense all day long.”
What were these women thinking of when all they came to the Faculty of Forensic Science for was to fool around?
However, what should she do? Someone was coming over that night… And when that someone hears the rumors, he would be angry again.
