“It’s true that we don’t have to sympathize with Duan Shao’an. But, his parents are burdened by him. It’s a pity.”

Sheng Xiao patted Mu Qiqi’s head and smiled. “Everyone has their own lives and destinies.”

“I always thought that you’re not the kind of person who believes in one’s destiny.”

“I’m telling you not to worry about other people.”

It was true that Sheng Xiao was a person like this. He would not sympathize with the Duan family for losing their son and undergoing bankruptcy. It was because they deserved what they faced now. If they did not spoil Duan Shao’an since young, he would not act recklessly and surely they would not come to this state.

Mu Qiqi felt that Qianqian would feel better when she thought about it this way.

Lu Qianqian found which hospital Bai Xinlan was staying at the moment and went to her ward since she was free.

Bai Xinlan’s pierced hand seemed to be getting better after it had been bandaged.

She thought that she was seeing things when she saw Lu Qianqian appearing at the door of the ward. But, she calmed herself down the next second. “Eldest Miss Lu, did you come here suddenly to ask me not to sue Duan Shao’an? Is that how you beg him to come back to you?”

“I’m not like you. Why would I go after him after I throw him away, given that he’s nothing but trash?” Lu Qianqian took off her sunglasses and sat down on the sofa at the ward.

“I don’t understand why you want to meet me if it’s not for Duan Shao’an’s sake. I’m badly injured. Isn’t that enough for you?”

Lu Qiqi smiled. “I’m not the one who hurt you. How could I be happy about it?”

“Tell me then what do you want. In fact, you’re just like me. You’re a woman who has miscarried. On the other hand, I’m a promiscuous woman. There’s not much difference between us. I don’t understand how you want to take revenge on me.”

“It’s because you’re poor so your imagination is limited. However, the rich could do all kinds of things, just like me.” Lu Qianqian said. Then, she turned her phone on. “I just spent some time to find out all of the men you’ve been with all these past years. I investigated them and I even told their wives about you. It’s not much. Just around twenty of them.”

Bai Xinlan’s facial expression changed drastically when she heard that.

“I even told them your phone number, personal details, home address and so on…

“Why don’t you picture what would happen to you? Would they kill you?”

“Lu Qianqian, don’t pretend in front of me. Aren’t you happy when I abandoned Duan Shao’an?”

Lu Qianqian smiled softly. Then, she said simply, “I’m happy but it still cannot change the fact that you ruined my love with him and you caused my miscarriage indirectly.” Then, she took a look at her watch. “It’s almost time. I think that the rich wives might be here soon.”

After that, she stood up and left Bai Xinlan’s ward. Soon, she bumped into the rich wives who came for Bai Xinlan at the door.

There were two of them. They glanced at Lu Qianqian and asked her, “Did you come here to look for that bitch?”

“She’s inside.” Lu Qianqian pointed the way to them.

They rushed into the ward fiercely. Soon, Lu Qianqian could hear the sound of somebody being slapped in the ward. Some of the women whom Bai Xinlan had annoyed came from influential families. They could do all kinds of things in Jianchuan. She could almost see what would happen to Bai Xinlan at the end.

Surely, she would have a terrible death given how shameless she was.

Lu Qianqian laughed coldly. At last, she left the hospital. Now, the scum and slut got what they deserved. She would continue her life…

On the other hand, Jing Yun was responsible for investigating Rong Junhan. Did she ever use the name ‘Tong Xue’ to do anything else? So, Jing Yun asked his friends who were working at the police station to help him investigate it. They wanted to see whether there were matches like that in Jianchuan.

The police did not have any criminal record about Tong Xue. So, Jing Yun tried to investigate it from another direction. At last, he found the news which was both shocking and exciting.

So, Jing Yun put the results of the investigation on Sheng Xiao’s desk after the meeting of Huang Yao ended.

“Young Master, there are thousands of people who have the name of ‘Tong Xue’ in this world. Even here in Jianchuan, we found a few hundreds of them.

“So, I took quite some time for the investigation. I also made use of various relations to look into it. But, it was in vain. At last, I found this with my last hope…”

Sheng Xiao opened the file and saw a photocopy of a business license. It’s a jewelry company called Sheng Rong. One of the representatives is Tong Xue. Moreover, one of the natural shareholders is Shen Lin. The others might not know who Shen Lin was. But, Sheng Xiao knew it very well. Shen Lin was not a stranger. He was Qiqi’s second uncle. He was also Shen Jinyu’s son.

“I never thought that Second Elder is cooperating with Rong Junhan. They even have this relation other than their current one.”

“Now, we have this evidence together with the testimony from the dean’s daughter. Are we able to prove that Rong Junhan did harm Young Master Shen that year for the second time?”

Sheng Xiao shook his head. His eyes seemed peculiarly deep at the moment. “What if Rong Junhan tells us that there indeed is a person called Tong Xue? We cannot ignore this possibility.”

“Then, what should we do?”

“Find a way to prove that!” Sheng Xiao put down the file and tilted his head. He seemed relaxed and lazy. “Second Elder has enjoyed a high privilege all these years. Moreover, he is only appreciated at a later stage. He might be closer to Rong Junhan than he is to Grandpa Shen. I don’t know how he would feel if he knows of the truth at last. He treats a thief as his own mother all this time.

“This woman is rather interesting. She hid herself well.

“So, we need to look into it deeper. She’ll surely give us more surprises.” Sheng Xiao said. Then, he got up from the sofa. “You need to conceal this thing first. Furthermore, Rong Junhan wants to manipulate Mu Tangxue to create trouble. We need to think of a way to get rid of Mu Tangxue for real this time. I don’t want any more trouble from her.

“I don’t want her to always appear in front of Qi’er. It’s disgusting.”

“Just tell me what to do, Young Master.”

Sheng Xiao gave Jing Yun a meaningful look. He grinned wickedly. “Let Qiqi take revenge on her first. Then, we’ll go to Big Brother’s ward and make a scene. Let’s heat it up.” Then…

Sheng Xiao signaled to Jing Yun and whispered in his ear. He gave his order precisely.

In fact, Mu Qiqi was eager for the weekend to come. She wanted to see how far Mu Tangxue could go in order to pretend that she was Mu Qiqi. Mu Qiqi was curious how much she would resemble her. Moreover, what did Rong Junhan yearn for, given that she was plotting a scheme like that?

They wanted to lie to Shen Jianchuan. Then?

Pathetically, although Mu Tangxue’s acting skills were exceptional, it had no effect on Shen Jianchuan.

At night, Sheng Xiao planned to go to the university to pick up Mu Qiqi after he had finished dealing with his business stuff. But, he received a call from Jing Yun informing him that Mama Sheng had gone to the villa again.

So, Sheng Xiao asked Uncle Lin to send Mu Qiqi home. On the other hand, he needed to go and face his mother.

Mu Qiqi knew that Sheng Xiao was busy as soon as he saw Uncle Lin who came to pick her up. She asked nothing obediently. She returned to the small mansion and had dinner with her aunt.

However, she could not help but feel lonely…
