Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife novel Chapter 6

Mu Qiqi naturally felt conflicted as a transfer student. She was afraid that others would learn that she was a daughter disowned by the Mu family, that she had been made the scapegoat for her grandmother's death.

She was ready to be looked upon differently.

However, upon arrival, she found that the teachers of the school had formed two rows alongside two vice-principals of Eaton, standing by the school gates and were waiting for someone!

"So many people for a reception... Who could be that noble?" Mu Qiqi muttered in curiosity.

However, Old Lin the chauffeur laughed cheerfully. "Miss Mu, they're here to receive you!"

"Me?" Mu Qiqi pointed at herself in surprise.

Old Lin parked the black sedan beside the gates to the luxurious building, got down from the car and opened the door for her.

Mu Qiqi alighted hesitantly, and the teachers at the reception promptly bowed towards her respectfully. "Welcome, Miss Mu!"

She froze.

"Go ahead, Miss Mu. No one would dare to belittle you here!" Old Lin said, seizing the moment. "Our young master has arranged it especially for you!"

Wouldn't Sheng Xiao find such a grand welcoming reception too exaggerated? Still, he had lived basking under every attention and enjoyed it. All who knew him were aware of his demonic side, but were compelled to lower their heads and defer themselves because he was the Crown Prince of Huang Yao, or simply because of his personal charisma.

Now, since Mu Qiqi was under his wing, she was not going to miss all the things he enjoyed!

She felt greatly valued like never before.

˜Mu Qiqi, everything has really changed for you.'

Afraid and doubtful at first, her tension promptly eased amidst innumerable envious gazes. Having been evasive towards the other's eyes, she gained a trace of confidence.

***

Why would Sheng Xiao arrange something like that?

Mu Qiqi was already asleep when he arrived at the small mansion1 last night. He knocked on Su Zipei's door, and asked about Mu Qiqi's life in the Mu family.

Su Zipei was surprised. She was very aware of Sheng Xiao's character, and yet, such a grand persona had come by himself to ask about Qiqi..

.

As such, the unease inside her grew.

"Young Master Sheng, could you be thinking about using Qiqi to seek revenge against t-the Mu family?"

Sheng Xiao laughed shortly.

"What does a grudge from the last generation have to do with me?" He smiled teasingly. "I'm just curious why a pair of twins is treated so differently. Don't tell me that you don't know”you may be one of the Mu family's poorer relatives, but you definitely would know what's going on inside!"

Su Zipei took a deep breath before answering Sheng Xiao seriously, "The hurt and self-doubt her own family had broken into her is nothing you could have imagined, Young Master Sheng!"

"She often ran into trouble when she was still with the Mu family since a young age. Since her uncles always had their eye on the company which belonged to Qiqi's father, they would often make a fuss by using Qiqi as an excuse. That is why her father never liked her as a daughter since she never afforded her an ease of mind!"
