“What’s wrong?” Mu Yu perched at the lab entrance and questioned Wu Xing who looked blank. “I don’t know! Chief Rong blasted me out the moment he was here. I wanted to ask more but he got angry at me. He even asked me to get lost.”
“Could it be related to the case? Maybe some super important evidence has surfaced.” Mu Yu worriedly plastered her ear at the lab door to eavesdrop, but the excellent soundproofing only led her to disappointment. She had no choice but to wait at the entrance with worries.
Wu Xing stared thoughtfully at the door and shook his head. “That must have nothing to do with the case. If it was something to do with work, there was no need to shoo me out. I suspect that he’s working on a relationship problem with Doctor Feng.”
“A relationship problem?” Mu Yu glanced at Qin Jinhuan. She thought that the two were close and therefore Rong Jian might reveal something to him.
In comparison, Qin Jinhuan looked at ease.
“Make way! Make way!” The medical staff member ran and wheeled a cart past Rong Jian. The wheels created jarring sounds due to the friction with the ground, drowning out the mumbling and long sigh.“Are you the patient’s family?”“Yes.” Rong Jian immediately pulled himself back to reality and stared nervously at the doctor. “How is she doing? Is she in a bad state?”When the doctor pulled off his mask, he scanned Rong Jian from head to toe and asked, “What is your relationship to her?”“I’m her… brother.” Rong Jian stopped short of claiming himself as her boyfriend when he saw Feng Rubing being wheeled out from the emergency room by a nurse. He hurriedly approached them and asked, “How are you feeling?” “She’s okay,” the doctor answered on behalf of Feng Rubing and gestured for Rong Jian to follow him. “Here's the prescription. Pay and get your meds.”“Oh, okay.” Rong Jian gave a deep look at the pale F
Liu Xiaofan turned around and took a look at Rong Jian before answering, “That’s provided by Miao Baogui, his housemate. Is there anything wrong?”“No. I’m just asking.” Rong Jian continued to pore over the file.Mu Yu sensed that something was wrong through his expression and immediately glanced at him. It happened that he was flipping the page over and she saw the words ‘sexual harassment’.“How about the information behind these phone numbers?” When Gu Jihui suggested looking into the numbers, Mu Yu noticed that Rong Jian’s hand trembled a little, causing her to look at him quizzically.“Yes, yes, it’s in my email. I forgot to print it out.” Fan Lifeng quickly walked near Mu Yu. “Doctor Mu, may I borrow your laptop?”“Sure thing.” Mu Yu retracted her glance and swiftly moved aside to make space. She quickly walked over to Rong Jian and whispered, “Chief Rong, did you have any new discoveries?”Rong Jian
“W-Who are you?” Mu Yu did not have time to pick up the mug on the table as she stood up and took a few steps backward.“I’m sorry. I must have frightened you,” the man hurriedly apologized to her while taking off his mask. He explained, “Doctor Mu, it’s me.”“Sir Nie?” Mu Yu let out a long sigh and broke into a smile. “I almost could not recognize you with your mask on. By the way, why are you in the office at this hour?”“To take over.”“Take over?”“Yeah. Where are your notes? Show it to me.” “It’s here.” Mu Yu quickly handed him her notebook with both hands. “About your daughter, Xue…”“Wait! I’m down with the flu.” Nie Yunkang took two steps backward and put on his mask again before receiving the notebook from her. After flipping through some pages, he looked at her. “I got it. You can go home now.”“How’s Snow doing?”“She’s still in the hospital.”
M-Madam Feng? Mu Yu was surprised and her hand froze mid-air when she attempted to open the door.“Chief Rong, drink some water. I’ll interrogate her.” Next, she heard Wu Xing’s nervous voice. “Go away!”“Chief Rong!”“I did not kill anyone.” Feng Rubing’s surprising reply signaled her willingness to cooperate with Mu Yu.“You said you didn’t kill anyone. So, tell me, what was your relationship with Li Jianyun? Why did you call each other multiple times? What did he say to you in the final call before his death? Also, where were you from nine o’ clock yesterday to midnight today?”“Chief Rong, I think you should ask the questions one at a time. You just fired a few questions at her. How could she possibly answer you?”“Shut up! Take your notes! Feng Ru… Who’s out there?” When he shouted, the door in front of Mu Yu was forcefully flung open. The gush of air from the movement made her take a st
“Young mistress!” Bian Zijun rushed over from afar and held her in time, screaming out of fear.Following that, Mu Yu quivered and abruptly woke up. She quickly grabbed his sleeve and asked, “Did something really happen to Huan? How is he now?”When she was asking, she felt her throat getting dry and even her voice croaked as she was close to tears due to the bolt from the blue. “Young mistress, you don’t look good. Let’s take a seat in there.” Feeling a bad hunch, she shoved him hard and started wailing. “Tell me, what happened to him?”Bian Zijun took a step backward and stared at her with sorrowful eyes but remained silent. In fact, the incident had happened at the factory to the north of the city in the evening. At that time, Qin Jinhuan hurriedly brought Wen Zeyu over to the location. Before his departure, he sent Bian Zijun to prepare the nutritional meal and take care of Mu Yu. He even threatened
Mu Yu was shocked by the gynecologist’s expression and her heart was throbbing wildly. She could feel her back getting uncontrollably hot. Staring fearfully at the silent gynecologist, she had wanted to ask questions for a few times, but the fear of hearing bad news forced the words back.Beside them, Qin Jinhuan seemed more nervous than Mu Yu. Pursing his lips, his laser-sharp gaze focused on the gynecologist without blinking.Finally, the gynecologist slowly pulled her hand back.“How’s the baby?” He immediately fired the question. The gynecologist looked at him with uneasiness and carefully checked with Mu Yu with some questions on menstruation before turning to Qin Jinhuan. “You said that your wife is pregnant. Where did you do the checkup?”Qin Jinhuan’s face was plastered with band-aids, and he didn’t get the chance to change into fresh clothes from the factory incident site. Therefore, the gynecologist did not recognize that the ma
“Huan?” Rong Ying turned around in astonishment.“Don’t tell grandpa about it.” Because Qin Jinhuan had slightly flicked some dust from his shirt while speaking, Rong Ying thought that he was referring to the earlier incident at the workers’ dorm. “Hasn’t grandpa heard about that news? Impossible! It is all over the internet!” She was struck by surprise.“I’m referring to the misunderstanding on Mu Yu’s pregnancy. Today’s events have been stressful enough for grandpa. I guess his blood pressure has increased, so I can’t burden him anymore.”Knowing that Qin Xiaozhi was very excited about her pregnancy, she immediately nodded. “I got it.”“Don’t mention Mu Yu’s condition to anyone else, except for Lei Zhi.” Qin Jinhuan knew that they could not hide anything from the family doctor. “Alright.”“You should leave,” Qin Jinhuan’s voice finally sounded relaxed. “When Yu is done resting, I’ll bring her home. Gran
“What’s wrong? Huan? Huan?” When Mu Yu jumped off the bed and ran after him with her questions, Qin Jinhuan was already heading downstairs. With a bad hunch in her mind, she quickly returned to her room to change and wash up. Next, she dashed to the first floor, preparing to follow him and to understand the situation.“Yu!” When she ran past the living room, she heard grandpa’s yelling and stopped in her tracks. Turning around, she noticed that grandpa and Qin Chengxi were both sitting there.Aside from them, three rare guests were there too: Qin Wentao, Dong Yueyun and Dong Wanqing.Dong Wanqing’s round eyes were fixated on her, which made her feel uncomfortable. Instantly, she glared at Dong Wanqing, who then pretended that she was unintentionally looking at Mu Yu and shifted her gaze away.“Yu, don’t run around! You could fall down… I mean hurt yourself!” Qin Xiaozhi did not have time to take his walking stick as he stood up to
"You ...""Dad, mom, you guys go back first," Shang Qi Qiang stopped his father who was about to have a seizure, and turned to Qin Jinhuan to apologize, "Big brother, a thousand mistakes are my fault, you let me meet Xiao Xi, I'll make amends to her and beg for her forgiveness.""Why are you the one making amends and begging for her forgiveness? It's not like she caused the accident! She caused it herself, okay?" Chen Juan was very dissatisfied with her son's words and immediately spoke out angrily, "It was her own fault that she deliberately found a reason to quarrel with you in the middle of the night and then ran out to meet another man before she got into the accident! Wasn't she at fault?"Chen Juan said while presenting the cell phone page about the intimate contact between Qin Chengxi and Fu Shaoyan to Qin Jinhuan and Mu Yu to see, afraid that they do not know as if, completely ignoring the side of the husband and son who made all kinds of winks.Mu Ye
"Sister-in-law, go and pull my brother, but you can't ...""I know I know." Muyi pressed her to lie down, "You don't want to hurt the wound!""Don't mind me, I'm fine!""Okay, okay, I'll go persuade your brother." Knowing that she was in a hurry, Mu Yu waited for her to lie down and then ran out and instructed the nurse who had made special arrangements to take care of Qin Chengxi before leaving in a hurry.Seeing that Qin Jinhuan's figure had long since disappeared from the elevator entrance, she hurriedly called him and, upon learning that he was in the underground parking lot, immediately ordered him to wait for her to go down."What the hell is going on? Wasn't Shang Qi always good to Xiao Xi before?" Mu Yu expressed her disbelief after getting into Qin Jinhuan's car."That's for Shang Qi to ask." Qin Jinhuan glanced grimly at Bian Zijun.Bian Zijun answered, "I've already gotten through to Mr. Shang, and he said that he'll immediately a
Qin Chengxi had never actually thought of leaving the Shang family because she never thought she would have such a rigid side."Xiao Xi ah, you're too honest and have a weak nature, your brother is always worried that you'll be bullied outside, and always asked me to advise you to put on a stronger personality. You are a member of the Qin family, you should show the Qin family's vigor. Your brother said, no matter when, no matter where, no matter what happens, he will always be your strongest backing. You have to memorize these words."Her ears rang with the words her sister-in-law had spoken to her so eloquently today.Previously, she had been silently putting up with Chen Juan's mouthiness in the Shang family because of Shang Qi, and now that Shang Qi was talking to her in such a tone, what reason did she have to put up with them?Today she was going to show them that she, Qin Chengxi, wasn't as weak as they thought, and that she also had a personality!
"Isn't it just a picture? Making a big deal out of it is not something the Hoshi I know would do!""Is this just a picture in your eyes? Is it not your disloyalty to our relationship?""When have I ever been unfaithful to our relationship? Hoshi, you're breaking my heart when you say things like that, do you understand?""Your attitude breaks my heart even more!""My attitude ..." Seeing her crying more and more sad, he only had to give in, "Okay, okay, it's my fault, I'll make amends to you, I'll apologize to you, okay?""It would have been your fault. Think about it another way, if the picture was of me with another man ...""No ifs!" He immediately interrupted her with a scowl."You know to be angry too.""Haven't I already admitted my mistake?""You drove Joey Zhi Yun.""No way!" Shang Qi refused Qin Chengxi without even thinking, "I need her badly now!"Qin Chengxi bit her lip, "So do you need me?""That's
Seeing that it was Chi Sihui's caller, he wanted to not answer it, but after a moment's hesitation, he answered it.In the end, the two families were family friends, and he and she had grown up together as little ones."Shangqi, where are you?" As soon as the phone was connected, Chi Sihui's petite voice came through."What is it?" He asked back, faintly."Let's have dinner together, we haven't seen each other in a long time.""Not available.""Alright, alright, don't be angry with me, I invited you to dinner today just to apologize to you.""Apologize to me? Isn't it an apology for Hoshi?""To her?" Chi Sihui's voice was through contempt, but she didn't continue, turning to say, "I'll give her an apology, but I only want to see you today. Come on, I've reserved a seat at the Fate Restaurant.""No time.""Eh!" Seemingly knowing that he was about to hang up the phone, Chi Sihui immediately exclaimed, "You're going home for d
"Uncle, Auntie."With Shangqi gone, Qin Chengxi has no one to rely on, and Chen Juan makes her apprehensive.Chen Juan didn't enter the room either, but just looked at her with a face full of compassionate concern,"Xiao Xi ah, how's your body toning up these days? Why are you getting thinner and thinner?""I've been a little sick the last few days, so I've been eating very little. Always sleepy."Afraid that she would bring up another topic that she couldn't face, Qin Chengxi made a gesture of yawning, looking really sleepy, hoping that it would make her realize that she was leaving."You can't even take care of yourself, how can I expect you to take care of Sang-ki in the future?"Qin Chengxi wanted to say, "Shangqi will take care of herself," but thought better of it and smiled dryly, "I'll get my body well as soon as possible. Don't worry, uncle.""You just can't carry on the flavor for the Shang family even after you've toned up your bod
"Eh! Shangqi, let go!" Qin Chengxi struggled sharply."Shang, Mr. Shang?"The group of people who came in originally wanted to ask Qin Chengxi to look into the break because there was an argument, but they didn't expect to run into this scene, so they were all embarrassed and subconsciously tried to turn away."If you're here, why don't you finish before you leave?"The one who spoke, Shang Qi, at this time he had let go of Qin Chengxi, but his hand was still on her shoulder, as if he was swearing a kind of sovereignty, as if he was saying, you guys can watch out, your boss is my daughter-in-law, if you dare to bully her, you are bullying me.The corners of Qin Chengxi's mouth twitched as he looked at him unnaturally, but he let him.The crowd exited her office immediately after saying what they had to say briefly and succinctly.He grinned and held her hand as he took her out to dinner.She finally smiled at the thought.Since s
Qin Chengxi answered Mu Yan's call.She knew that her sister-in-law was worried about her situation, and immediately stated that she had the support of Shang Qi as well as the Shang family's parents, and only then did Mu Yan say nothing, and advised her a few more times to take care of her health."I know, I'll go back in a few days to see you and Redeemer. I miss Redeemer." She responded with feigned relief."Isn't it easy to miss her? I'll come home from work and bring her to video you.""Okay, that's a deal."A few more words were exchanged before she hung up.When he came back to the office again, Sang-ki was already buried in papers.Looking at him, who had also lost weight, she felt both guilty and heartbroken.She's the one who dragged Sang-gi down.If it weren't for her, the papers in front of him wouldn't have accumulated like a mountain.Meetings were pushed back and forth, and some matters that needed to be handl
"Brother! Don't!"Qin Chengxi was also terrified and cried as she went up to beg Qin Jinhuan.Although she has been in her heart not ashamed of what her parents did, but in the end is her biological parents, she can not sit back and do nothing, not to mention the grandfather's corpse is not yet cold, and in any case the family can not be so farce."Ah Huan, calm down!" Mu Ye also immediately stepped forward to dissuade Qin Jinhuan.Qin Jinhuan didn't make a sound, but just looked askance at Qin Wentao with a chilly face, without the slightest look of being persuaded by them.The sound of running footsteps outside approached.Qin Chengxi, who was afraid of seeing blood, was terrified, but she knew she couldn't say anything about her big brother and could only cry and go up to her father and beg him to leave.Qin Wentao knew that he couldn't restrain his son, and was worried that he had no place to vent his anger, when Qin Chengxi crashed into
