Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 54

Meanwhile, after their embarrassment at the parent-teacher conference, Mu Tangxue and Mama Mu kept quiet about things. None of them were brave enough to tell Papa Mu since Mu Tangxue's grades were nothing to brag about and Mama Mu was humiliated in the meeting.

When Papa Mu asked, Mu Tangxue told him that the teacher did not actually announce which student would be receiving the recommendation. Moreover, after having eavesdropped on Mu Qiqi when she refused the recommendation, Mu Tangxue dropped hints to her father that he could help her secure it.

Even if Mu Tangxue's grades were not particularly outstanding, her many participation awards in various competitions meant that it would not be too difficult for her to get the recommendation as long as the teacher would not play favorites. Naturally, one of the conditions for that was for Papa Mu to speak to the school.

Now, he listened to her, leisurely sipping his coffee and nodding. "I promised to attend the parent-teacher conference, but I had missed it because of work."

"Of course I can help you with the recommendation, my good daughter. You're the pride of the Mu family."

Papa Mu agreed to her request, even calling his secretary so that he would definitely secure the recommendation.

Mu Tangxue quietly celebrated. "Thank you, daddy."

Since everyone really expected that Mu Qiqi would claim the recommendation, Mu Tangxue believed that it would be taking away something that belonged to her twins if she got it.

No one would know that Mu Qiqi had refused the recommendation, and only then would she repulse others by her high-and-mighty attitude.

On the other hand, Su Zipei sneaked into Mu Qiqi's room after her niece left. She looked through the places where girls would often hide their things, but found nothing suspicious.

However, she did find the blue diamond hairpin and Christmas mitten on Mu Qiqi's desk, which were not especially kept from her. Naturally, she did not remember seeing those things before.

Could those be the gifts from that man?

Su Zipei did not touch them and simply left the room so that Mu Qiqi wouldn't notice.

However, Mu Qiqi was well aware that Su Zipei would look through her room if Su Zipei really did find her leaving the house last night. Still, she chose to keep her silence, since Sheng Xiao had prepared a solution for her.

Even so, she was not going to slip out and meet him over the next few days.

In school, there were plenty of other students who were still discussing and vying for the recommendation. Nonetheless, Mu Qiqi had indeed declined it.

Papa Mu's secretary hence made his third personal visit to Eaton, indicating that the school should fairly judge Mu Tangxue's qualifications for the recommendation.

The class teacher did not like Mu Tangxue at all, but still fairly judged her based on her personal information.

She certainly had what it takes to secure the recommendation.

The Mu family only hoped that Eaton would not be biased against Mu Tangxue because of Mu Qiqi, since the school did try to interfere with Mu Tangxue's entry.

That was how Papa Mu's secretary put things to get the school to comply.

In the end, the school administration relented since the recommendation could only be cleared with assessment from the national department of education. That is why it wouldn't matter that they recommended Mu Tangxue now.

Reluctantly, the teacher offered Mu Tangxue the recommendation, just as she placed even greater hopes in Mu Qiqi so that she would make her proud!

As such, the class teacher informed Mu Qiqi beforehand that Mu Tangxue was in the list of recommended students.

Nonetheless, Mu Qiqi was upset. However, she did refuse the recommendation and it wasn't like she was unhappy to lose that place.

Moreover, she was dismayed because Su Zipei had found out that she was out of the house last night, and didn't know if she could meet Xiaoxiao for the night.
