He had said it already, what was done cannot be undone.
Lu Wenhua would definitely know what he meant by that. By the way, he had seen them going out at night and coming back only before dawn. Although Sheng Xiao did not tell him, he probably would have guessed how intimate they were already. Qiqi should be very attached to Sheng Xiao by now.
He did not think of changing anything. He just wanted to know Sheng Xiao’s thoughts and his plan to settle down with Qiqi.
Seeing the situation now, Lu Wenhua felt terrible. He had to side with Su Zipei and consider things from her perspective.
“Mr. Lu, if you have nothing else to deal with, you are free to go.”
Lu Wenhua sighed and left the café. Later, he went to the mansion. Mu Qiqi was not at home at that time.
“Why do you come here at this time? Have you had your lunch?” Su Zipei asked.
“Nope.” Lu Wenhua shook his head.
“Then wait for a moment, I will make you some food.”
Lu Wenhua did not come for Su Zipei’s cooking. He was looking for a chance to tell her about the matter. But he did not want to point it out directly. So, he sat down at the dining table and waited. When Su Zipei brought out a bowl of noodles for him, he told her in the form of a hint, “It has not been very safe here lately. It is better for you and Qiqi not to go out at night.”
“We always get into bed at around ten. Why would we go out in the middle of the night?”
“Zipei…”
He hesitated. Su Zipei was getting impatient with the way Lu Wenhua was acting. “What is it that you want to tell me?”
“It is not a big deal, really. Last time, when you were sick, when I was about to leave your house, I heard strange sounds. I am not sure if it was rats or what. You should be aware of that at night,” Lu Wenhua said and ate the noodles. He could not allow himself to tell her directly but he also could not just keep silent.
So he hinted to Su Zipei, hoping that she would find out about their relations.h.i.+p one day.
“Alright…” Su Zipei did not think much about it.
Today at five o’clock, the Ministry of Education announced Mu Qiqi’s result. She scored seven hundred and thirty one points, which was higher than her previous results of seven hundred and twenty four points.
And of course, she was closely monitored by the ministry while taking her exam. The authorities did not give her any advantage during the whole process. This could be proven with the surveillance system.
The Ministry of Education also uploaded the question paper for the people to compare it with the previous one she had taken.
The whole series of measures were taken to prove Mu Qiqi’s innocence and capabilities. But it did not change Mu Qiqi’s mind on her course. She had decided on forensic science.
As predicted by Sheng Xiao, the swapping of exam papers was once again a hot topic after the announcement of Mu Qiqi’s score.
As a result, the stock price of Mu Group took a hit. The company suffered a great loss.
Papa Mu could not take it anymore. So, he quickly arranged a meeting with the lawyer and Mu Qiqi. He wanted her to make her stance publicly.
But the ten percent shares of Mu Group was not a small amount.
Papa Mu was aware of it but if he delayed further, Mu Group might suffer an even greater loss.
At the same time, Mu Tangxue proposed to go along with the lawyer. She said that if she apologized to Mu Qiqi, she would forgive the Mu family more easily.
Papa Mu agreed so he did not stop Mu Tangxue. Since he promised to reinstate her status as the young lady of the Mu family, he would give her a chance to redeem herself.
So, Mu Tangxue went to the mansion with the lawyer.
When Su Zipei saw her, she immediately demanded an explanation from the attorney, “What is she doing here?”
“Miss Mu has come to apologize.”
“It is fine, Aunt,” Mu Qiqi said. “Now that my results are out and the share transfer agreement is here, we do not have to be afraid of her.”
“Why should I be afraid of her? I am just worried that you’ll feel sick when you see her face!” Su Zipei sneered. “I did not expect that sc.u.mbag would forgive her this quickly.”
“This is not surprising at all. After all, Mu Tangxue would not let herself be scolded for her whole life!”
This was the first time Mu Tangxue entered the mansion. What was her real purpose for coming to Mu Qiqi’s home? She just wanted to find a clue about the man who influenced Mu Qiqi in the mansion. She wanted to see if the man had left any trace there.
“Miss, when you sign this doc.u.ment, then the transfer of the shares will be considered as accomplished,” the lawyer explained.
“Aunt, you sign it,” Mu Qiqi said, holding Su Zipei. “This ten percent shares is a gift from me.”
“Qiqi!” Su Zipei was shocked.
“Aunt, this is a gift from me. You go sign it now or it will be a ha.s.sle to go through the process again.” Mu Qiqi continued, “You have always helped me and taken good care of me. You deserve it.”
“But…”
“Aunt, the shares are useless in my hands!”
When she said this, she glanced at Mu Tangxue, who was sitting beside the lawyer. After the incident, Mu Tangxue had stopped her acting. She remained quiet. But, her silence was not regret. She was thinking hard, calculating her next move.
Su Zipei thought through it again. Finally, she signed the papers. “I am just keeping them for you.”
Mu Qiqi did not plan to get it back. She just wanted the Mu family to pay the price for what they had done. She just wanted to upset them.
Then, Mu Tangxue stood up and said, “Sister, I am sorry. It was my fault entirely. I hope you can forgive me…”
“It does not matter if I forgive you or not. We will not encounter each other ever again. You will still be a lady, and I am going to study.”
“I have learnt my lesson.”
“We all know your motive of coming here. You are not the kind of lady who likes to act pitiful and I am not the scapegoat who always gets bullied anymore. So, I hope that you will not come and mess with me again.”
“I promise.” Mu Tangxue did not refute at all. She seemed very obedient.
But, Mu Qiqi would not be tricked by her hypocrisy.
“You can leave now…”
“Sister, can I take a look around your room before leaving?”
Mu Qiqi chuckled and nodded. “Sure!”
Then, the two sisters walked into Mu Qiqi’s room. After surveying the whole room, Mu Tangxue said, “It is indeed better than the one you had when you lived in the house of the Mu family.”
“So you cannot find any trace of my man?” Mu Qiqi asked. “You should be more thorough if you want to find any!”
“It would be my pleasure to get advice from you in the future, Sister.”
Mu Tangxue’s words were self-evident. She would not let Mu Qiqi go so easily. She would definitely fight until the end!
However, Mu Qiqi was not scared at all.
“Suit yourself. Anyway, I am becoming a forensic doctor. If you poison someone in the future, I will find evidence to prove your guilt.”
Mu Tangxue looked at Mu Qiqi. This girl had changed so much. So much that it was almost unbelievable. “Sister, that man has really changed you.”
“You are wrong. It is you who changed me…”
