“I made arrangements for Miss Qiqi to live in a small mansion. But she would still be harmed by Miss Mu occasionally. There was once because she coveted Miss Qiqi’s outstanding performance in the examination, she plotted to swap their examination results.”
“The incident was reported in the news so I will not explain it in detail.”
“She, Miss Mu, kept on saying that Miss Qiqi framed her. But, in fact, from the Mu family to the Shen family, she is the one pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic. She is the real vicious one.”
“Even until tonight, she is still the same, slandering Miss Qiqi for hurting her.”
“She did it. It’s her.” Mu Tangxue was sitting on the floor. She pointed at Mu Qiqi and shouted.
“Since you still want to quibble, well, I have a video here. I believe all those present would be highly interested in its content.” Jing Yun took out his mobile and searched for the video. Then, he played and showed it to the crowd. It was not very clear, but everyone could see that it was Mu Tangxue who slapped herself hard on her face. She even slapped herself several times to make sure the mark was clear.
Everyone understood now. Mu Tangxue had indeed used up all her energy to slander Mu Qiqi.
“I did not wish to expose your deed because of your eighteen-year-old young age. But apparently, there is no need for me to hide it anymore.”
Mu Qiqi looked to Sheng Xiao’s direction. He was not here just now. Perhaps, he had something to do with the video?
“Well.” Grandpa Shen thought that it was enough, so he voiced out to calm everyone down. “It is clear now. Leaving aside the matter of their identities, at least we can prove that Mu Tangxue framed Qiqi.”
“Now, let’s talk about their real identities.”
“It is no doubt that Qiqi is a member of the Shen family, but as for Miss Mu…”
“Grandpa, I am a Shen, I really am.” Mu Tangxue quickly came forward and wanted to hold onto Grandpa Shen’s leg. But before she could touch him, Grandpa Shen kicked her away.
“Before you came to Shen Mansion, I was very curious who your character is similar to, but I could not find the answer. And since you came here, you were summoned by the police several times. You had undergone a lot of interrogations because of your mother’s death. When you were accused by your father, I did not think much about it as well.”
“I did not believe it when the Mu family said that you are the one who plotted the fire. I never thought that an eighteen-year-old girl would be this vicious. But now, I believe it might be true.”
“Did Qiqi do anything sorry to you to the extent that you want to frame her this way?”
Mu Tangxue was lying on the floor quietly, letting the people mock her.
“Oh my god! How cruel this girl is to frame her sister, and even kill her grandmother and mother?”
“She is just too horrifying, isn’t she?”
Listening to what the people said, Mu Tangxue struggled and finally managed to stand up again. She looked at Third Aunt with hopeful eyes. “Third Aunt, help me. Say something for me.”
“I… I never thought that you are not a Shen.” Third Aunt had obviously withdrawn from the battle.
“Am I worthless to you when I am not a Shen?” Mu Tangxue questioned. “Must I be trampled by you when I am not a Shen?”
Third Aunt ignored her and walked toward Mu Qiqi and apologized. “Qiqi, I am sorry. I did not know. It was all her fault. She lied to me. Please forgive me.”
“Didn’t you say that I am being ridiculous just now, Third Aunt?” Mu Qiqi did not appreciate her apology.
“I was being stupid.”
“You are not stupid, you are cleverer than anybody else. You know I am not someone who can be manipulated so you go and flatter Mu Tangxue. But you did not expect that Mu Tangxue is not a Shen. Am I right?” Mu Qiqi smirked and asked Third Aunt.
“Hmph.” Seeing this, Second Aunt could not help but smirk.
“Since she is not a member of the Shen family, she should not stay here anymore. After all, the star of the night is Qiqi alone. We should get rid of the unrelated person.”
Mu Tangxue heard Second Aunt’s words and waved her hands hard. “Please don’t drive me out. I have nowhere to go.”
“But you are not a Shen.”
Mu Tangxue started panicking. She knelt in front of Mu Qiqi. “Sister, please help me. Can you ask them to let me stay? I don’t want to suffer outside. I have nothing.”
Mu Qiqi stood there motionless. She thought for a moment and lowered her head, looking at Mu Tangxue and said, “You are not a Shen.”
“You can just pretend that I am one. You can make me your maid. I can do anything as long as you let me stay.”
“You should go to the Mu family and beg your grandfather instead of begging us here. Maybe he will let you stay with him since you are his flesh and blood.” Mu Qiqi tucked her chin up and said coldly, “Mu Tangxue, you are the one who caused this. You cannot blame anybody.”
“Although the law cannot make you pay for your crime on Mommy’s death. But what happened today is your punishment.”
Mu Qiqi whispered the last sentence into Mu Tangxue’s ears. So, nobody heard her.
“Get rid of her.” Grandpa Shen could not stand Mu Tangxue’s acting anymore and ordered.
The Shens were glad to do so, especially Second Aunt. She had seen enough of Mu Tangxue acting proud and arrogant these days. In the end, she was not even a Shen, how embarrassing.
Anyway, the most hilarious part was to see Third Aunt flattering the wrong person with much effort. This was the biggest joke ever. For this reason alone, she would stand by Mu Qiqi’s side.
She had helped her to vent her grudge. She felt happy to her heart’s content.
“No, don’t touch me.” Mu Tangxue was still struggling. “Sister, I am wrong. I am wrong, please forgive me.”
Not only did she beg for forgiveness, Mu Tangxue also gave Mu Qiqi a kowtow. She kept on kowtowing…
“Don’t try to pretend to be pitiful in front of me again. You should know it clearly that I will not feel sad even if you die here.”
After she heard it, Mu Tangxue was stunned. She stood up after much stumbling. Then, she went all out and yelled, “You purposely did this, do you? You purposely embarrassed me. You knew that I wasn’t a Shen for a long time, didn’t you?”
“Mu Qiqi, you are so good at plotting. You are so cruel. I even feel like clapping for you.”
“Now, I even suspect that you deliberately let me think that I am a Shen and made me cut ties with the Mu family. You want to make me lose everything, don’t you?”
“You take yourself too seriously.”
“Hahaha…” What did all the wealth and being a rich lady matter? Now, it was just like a cloud of smoke, vanishing into thin air. Not even that, she was the laughingstock of everybody. “What are you looking at? What is it that you want to look at? Is it funny to you? Trust me, I can dig your eyes out now!”
“Mu Qiqi, your wish is granted. From now on, I will have to go out and beg for food. But I do not regret that I framed you to be the one who killed Grandma. Because you are a slut!”
Mu Qiqi chuckled. “Do you think this is the end? It is not! You still don’t give up because you have not felt the real pain yet.”
