Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 31

After that, Mama Mu presented another box to Mu Qiqi. "It's your birthday too," she told her. "I got this for you."

One could tell from the decorations of the giftbox that its content must be a class below Mu Tangxue's.

What else could it be other than another trick, to humiliate her own disowned daughter?

Mu Qiqi was laughing coldly inside. "The box is quite different from Tangxue's, isn't it?" she joked.

"Qiqi, both of you are our daughters. Why would I give you something different?" Mama Mu replied. "It's not polite to be picky with your presents...be a good girl with your aunt, we'll bring you home when your father cools off."

"Qiqi, take it." Qian Qian urged.

"It's Mommy's goodwill, sis. She hopes that you can come home." Mu Tangxue also approached them, trying to get Mu Qiqi accept the gift.

And Mu Qiqi did so, but as she reached out to take the giftbox from Mama Mu, it dropped to the ground as she didn't hold it tightly.

"You child, you can't even hold it up!" Mildly irritated, Mama Mu crouched to pick up her gift, but Mu Qiqi did not accept it this time.

"I'm only obeying the heavens since it's a sign that they don't want me to accept it. Thank you, Aunty Mu, but I think I really don't want it."

Then, Mu Qiqi took out her blue diamond hairpin and wore it. "After all, I have the best present already!"

"Wow...so beautiful..." Qian Qian promptly exclaimed in surprise. "Qiqi, that's a blue diamond... don't you know how rare those are?"

Mama Mu froze, before quickly hiding her giftbox after seeing the hairpin in Mu Qiqi's hair.

Naturally, that was because there wasn't a diamond ring inside as the others would probably expect.

If she really revealed it, she would only make a fool of herself as if she was a poor, stingy woman.

She had definitely never expected someone to give Mu Qiqi something as precious as a blue diamond!

Meanwhile, everyone was encircling Mu Qiqi and admiring her hairpin”even the shape of the jewel itself fit her extraordinarily.

"Mommy!" Mu Tangxue was extremely upset with the spotlight taken from her.

"Go on, cut the cake with your sister." Mama Mu said, gesturing at the cake with her chin.

Mu Tangxue nodded and walked to Mu Qiqi, "Sis," she said as she took her hand, "let's cut the cake."

Mu Qiqi knew Mu Tangxue's intention immediately.

She had never changed even after so many years”what else would she do other than to frame her?

Nevertheless, Mu Qiqi did not try to escape. Instead, she allowed Mu Tangxue to pull her along to the cake.

"Sis... even if you left our family, you would never escape your destiny... where I would always set you up." With those words, Mu Tangxue turned and smiled at Mu Qiqi.

Then, she tripped over herself when others could not see her.

Everyone saw Mu Tangxue fall. Mama Mu hurried to pick her up, while Mu Qiqi simply enjoyed the entire performance.

Was that still her only trick after so many years?

"Tangxue, are you alright?"

"Mommy, I'm okay..." Mu Tangxue cried. "It's not sis's fault, I tripped over myself."

Mama Mu went up in Mu Qiqi's face at once. "Qiqi, vent your grief at me. Why can't you change your habit of bullying your own sister?"

"She tripped over herself!"

"Who would ever trip over themselves?" Mama Mu retorted doubtfully. "Why are you always so awful?"
