Chapter 92: Are You Satisfied Now to See Me Like This?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
They were separated by a wall. However, there was a vast difference between them.
Before this, Mu Qiqi had never dared to enter Mu Tangxue’s room out of fear that she might be wronged or framed by her sister. But, there were always many things in Mu Tangxue’s room. It would be untrue if Mu Qiqi said that she did not feel the tiniest bit of jealousy toward her.
Their lives have completely changed now.
It was almost impossible for Mu Tangxue to survive in Jianchuan from now on.
Mu Qiqi pushed the door open and saw the girl who was sitting on the bed.
Her hair was let loose around her and she seemed quite pale. Her eyes were empty. That was how frightening a person would look like after losing in a battle…
Mu Tangxue heard the door and she looked up. She saw Mu Qiqi standing there at the door.
Both sisters resembled each other. But, at the same time, they did not look like each other at all.
“Did you come here today to mock me?” Mu Tangxue asked.
Mu Qiqi went into the room and took a look around. She asked Mu Tangxue calmly, “Do you know what I used to feel about your room? I was so envious of all of the things you had. I never had them in my room.”
“You were always wronged because of me since we were young. You were never adored. I thought that it would always be like that for the rest of our lives. I would always be protected because of you. What went wrong exactly?”
“You framed me all this time including the time when Grandma died. I was kicked out of the house but I never hated you so much until the time you exchanged my exam paper with yours,” Mu Qiqi said to Mu Tangxue. “Do you know what? I wanted so badly to kill you when you took my results and boasted about it everywhere you went.”
“But, now you’ve won. I have nothing else now. Dad has locked me in the room. What more do you want?”
“Are you satisfied at last?” Mu Qiqi lowered her head and looked at Mu Tangxue. She asked Mu Tangxue seriously.
“I’m not satisfied. But, you’re just lucky this time. We are at a truce now. Do you think that I’ll let you go that easily? Never! There’s no way out given how we’ve been fighting each other all this while.”
“Your mom sides with me. Your dad hates you deeply. Your grandpa ignores you. You’re being punished by the Ministry of Education. What else could you do now?”
Mu Tangxue laughed when she heard what Mu Qiqi said. She burst into tears. “I find it hard to believe when you said those kinds of things to me.”
“The man behind you must’ve given you a lot of ideas. Although I’m unable to investigate anything now, someday you’ll be exposed and I’ll ruin you with your man!”
“You’ll never get that chance. Don’t forget. You’re exposed but I’m not. It’s so easy to plot against you now.”
Their conversation did not seem at all like what a pair of eighteen-years-old twin sisters would say. It sounded just like an argument between two adults.
Mu Qiqi did not treat herself or Mu Tangxue as a girl anymore since the day she discovered that her exam papers were exchanged.
“Is that so? Let’s see about that…”
Then, Mu Qiqi left Mu Tangxue’s room. It was because she knew that Mu Tangxue was still brave enough to fight on even though she had nothing else now.
Mu Tangxue might have been born like that. They were destined to become enemies instead of sisters!
Mu Qiqi said to Papa Mu before she left, “Mr. Mu, you better keep a close eye on Mu Tangxue. She seems like she’s not going to give up that easily.”
Then, Mu Qiqi and the lawyers returned to the small mansion.
Papa Mu was furious.
Now, the entire Mu family wished that Mu Qiqi would side with them. But, how dare Mu Tangxue say unpleasant things to Mu Qiqi! Papa Mu went straight to Mu Tangxue’s room after Mu Qiqi left. He grabbed her hair and gave her a harsh slap. “What do you think? Do you think that I want to kill you?”
Mu Tangxue had been abused by her father these past few days. She trembled vigorously when she saw her father’s cruel face.

Mu Qiqi told Su Zipei what happened during the interrogation process when she went home.
Su Zipei could not help but shake her head and heave a sigh after listening to Mu Qiqi’s description. “They’re really wicked people. How is Mu Tangxue now?”
“She still refuses to give up. So, I reminded Mr. Mu to keep an eye on her before I left. He must have beaten her up badly by now,” Mu Qiqi replied to her question. “Aunt, I’m still angry now.”
Su Zipei patted her hair and consoled her, “You have everything you ever wanted now. You don’t have to be afraid. We have a long time to do what we want.”
The Mu family barely survived. The shares of the Mu Group would surely be facing another downfall once Mu Qiqi’s results were out.
Now, they wanted to see whether the Mu family was willing to part with that ten percent shares.
“Qiqi, I realize that you’ve become sad and tired recently. You’re not as happy as you were before. Now, the Mu family is suffering tremendously. Why don’t you go out with Qianqian or any of your other friends to release your stress?”
“Aunt, I’m fine.” Mu Qiqi smiled. “I have a bright future ahead of me. Don’t worry. I won’t be sad because of them. It’s all over now.”
“That’s good. I’ll take care of the case related to your mom. Don’t worry.”
Mu Qiqi hugged Su Zipei and acted like a little girl in her embrace. “Aunt, I’m so lucky to have you here with me.”
“It’s Young Master Sheng who has always helped you. You need to thank him properly.” Then, Su Zipei returned the voice recorder to Mu Qiqi. “Young Master Sheng gave this pen to you. You need to keep it for your own protection.”
That was the first present Sheng Xiao ever gave her. So, she always cherished it.
The pen was not needed just yet. But, Mu Qiqi took it back and kept it with her because it was rather an important gift to her.
“Alright. You’re tired today. Go on and take a rest now.”
Su Zipei could not help but cough a few times when she said that. Mu Qiqi noticed that. “Aunt, are you having a flu?”
“It’s just a cough. I’ll be fine after I take some medicine.”
Mu Qiqi nodded her head. She lay down on the bed after helping Su Zipei to search for the medication. It seemed like Su Zipei had not been feeling well these past few days.
