Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 4

On the way to their new apartment, Mu Qiqi's aunt could not help asking, "Qiqi, what is actually going on?"

"I might have to follow Sheng Xiao from now on, Aunt. He saved me yesterday, and stopped me from being sold off," Mu Qiqi explained, the corners of her eyes reddened. "However, how I treated Uncle..."

"That scumbag deserves it!"

Mu Qiqi's aunt exclaimed. Then, worried that Mu Qiqi was going to fall into a trap again, she paused a moment before adding, "But it's a little ridiculous to even say it. By what right would he take you in? Moreover, your families have been fighting for generations..."

"I don't know... but I don't have anywhere else to go at the moment."

"We can thank Young Master Sheng for helping us remove that vermin uncle of yours and go back. I'll work to support you." Mu Qiqi's aunt suggested, mainly because she was uneasy.

Mu Qiqi shook her head reluctantly. "Aunt, although I've been abandoned by the Mu family, if Tangxue is going to come up with new ways to hurt me if she learns that I'm living with you. I really couldn't stand it. I couldn't stand our parents spoiling her non-stop while hurting me..."

"I don't know what would happen if I follow Sheng Xiao, but I don't want the past to repeat itself and become a scapegoat for Tangxue."

Mu Qiqi's aunt nodded at her words, feeling the bitterness. "Alright, if that's what you choose. I'll stay with you, and you can throw away all morals and rationality and whatnot."

"Thank you, Aunt..."

Why would Mu Qiqi's aunt agree with her idea?

That was because even after she planned to divorce her scumbag husband after she learned that Mu Qiqi had been sold off, she had quickly phoned his own sister”Mu Qiqi's own biological mother. However, she was unaffected by that news at all.

"Sold off? It's fine. Just watch her and keep it a secret, don't shame the Mu family!"

Well, since that was how she would treat her own daughter, Mu Qiqi definitely did not have to go back.

Now, she would see what Sheng Xiao has arranged for the young girl.

***

Sheng Xiao's assistant had sent Mu Qiqi and Su Zipei”her aunt to a condominium in the suburban district of Jianchuan. However, they passed by the prestigious school that she and Mu Tangxue studied in.

Mu Qiqi's tears were threatening to fall, and Su Zipei quickly consoled her. "Qiqi, don't be sad. We're with the Sheng family now, you can just forget about them!"

"I'm just upset that Mu Tangxue is sitting in there comfortably and getting spoiled as much as she could."

In front of them and having heard their conversation, Sheng Xiao's assistant could not help asking, "If you have the chance to return to that school, would you still be polite to your sister?"

"In her dreams!"

Her studies had been in utter shambles over her sister's happiness. She had done everything to keep her satisfied, even losing herself..

.

But no more!

Meanwhile, Sheng Xiao returned home in another car and was given a scolding by his family over his accident, before taken to his room to recover.

Soon, his assistant Jing Yun returned as well to report about Mu Qiqi and her aunt.

Be that as it may, he could not hold back saying, "Young Master, she is an eighteen-year-old girl, not a cat or a dog. Since you have taken her in, you would have to take responsibility for her from now on."

"I know..." Sheng Xiao replied, leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed.

"Caring for a person is no easy matter."

"Are you suggesting that I should have watched her being sold and do nothing?" Sheng Xiao straightened and answered Jing Yun with another question."

"We could just let her live with her aunt after saving her. We shouldn't interfere with matters of the Mu family..."

"Is that your call or mine?" Sheng Xiao teased Jing Yun thoughtfully.

The assistant spaced out for a moment before answering, "It's your call... but if Master and Madam knew that you've taken her in..."
