Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 23

Mu Qiqi's tablemate could not help sending her a message, just as she was finished with the competition and was about to return.

"Qiqi, check out the image I sent you!"

Mu Qiqi enlarged the picture to find her various ˜accomplishments' during her time in Van Gogh.

Her heart tightened in panic.

"Where did you get that?"

"From Van Gogh," her tablemate replied. "Were you really like that in Van Gogh, Qiqi? Rock-bottom in grades and making trouble? Our classmates are saying they are disappointed in you, and actually regretting that you represent us in the competition..."

"Qianqian, do you trust me?" Mu Qiqi asked.

"Of course I do. Why else would I tell you?"

"I'll handle it when I get back. Stay calm, I'll explain it to everyone!" Mu Qiqi told her, before turning to glance at her old results again.

It definitely was not easy to look at. At the same time, it clearly reminded Mu Qiqi of how many times she had been the scapegoat for Mu Tangxue.

She knew that Mu Tangxue did not want to arouse suspicion by exposing her in Eaton, which was why she had someone from Van Gogh do it, and eventually spreading it to Eaton.

Her sister's scheme was no laughing matter.

When her class teacher saw the post, she instructed the class to not simply hurt their fellow classmate. After all, all of them were clearly aware of her current grades.

Moreover, Mu Qiqi was now competing for their class's sake.

Still, that did not stop the class gossiping about Mu Qiqi privately.

Naturally, they kept bugging Mu Tangxue, asking her whether Mu Qiqi was really so terrible back in Van Gogh.

Mu Tangxue answered none of their questions and acted as if she was protecting her sister, but her behavior was clearly a silent admission.

After the competition, Mu Qiqi returned to the little mansion in Jianchuan.

However, Su Zipei could tell from her somber look that something was troubling her. "What happened?" She asked. "You don't look well... did you do poorly?"

Mu Qiqi simply leapt into her arms, hugging her as she said, "Mu Tangxue exposed me. She told everyone about my history in Van Gogh, and now everyone knows that I was a troublemaker and have rock-bottom grades back then."

"She really did that?"

Mu Qiqi forwarded the post to her aunt.

Su Zipei could not help but sight after looking through it. "That sister of yours really know how to put up an act. Qiqi, don't be sad..."

"I'm not sad, Aunt Zipei. I already thought about what I should do on the way back since it's a mark I can't erase or hide from. I have to confront it directly."

"I was evasive before, but I now think it doesn't matter even if I'm exposed!"

Su Zipei beamed widely at Mu Qiqi. "So open-minded and sensible”you've really matured."

"I'm off to rest in my room then.

I'm a little tired."

"Scoot. I'll call you in time for dinner!" Su Zipei gave her a gentle shove towards her room.

The reality was that Su Zipei was hurt inwardly for Mu Qiqi. Who else could have endured being exposed to an entire school?

Sighing, Su Zipei was about to leave to get some groceries so that she could prepare a better dinner for Qiqi when she saw Sheng Xiao enter the little mansion.

"Young Master Sheng."

"I'm bringing Qiqi out for dinner tonight," he told her straight away.

"Alright, Young Master Sheng. That's good... I hope that she could be happier with you." Su Zipei nodded.

Sheng Xiao had already received word from Jing Yun about Mu Tangxue exposing Mu Qiqi. In fact, Mu Tangxue could pass for a genius with the depth of her schemes.
