Then, Mu Qiqi took out her phone. She wanted to give Sheng Xiao a call but she soon dropped it.

She had been immersed in deep anxiety recently. She never really got to go on proper dates with Sheng Xiao. She did not know how Xiaoxiao felt about her.

Sheng Xiao was busy with his work. He realized that the phone rang once and stopped. He put down his files and picked up the phone.

When she didnt answer, he did not call her back but drove his car and went straight to the small villa.

Mu Qiqi was alone there. She was surprised when she saw Sheng Xiao walking into the living room. Xiaoxiao?

Sheng Xiao lifted her up instantly and placed her on his lap. Mu Qiqi blushed deeply. He laughed at her softly. Have you forgotten who you belong to when I didnt hug you these past few days?

Mu Qiqi hugged his neck and shook her head. I havent. I was just afraid that youre unwilling to now.

Why did you call me just now? Sheng Xiao asked her.

Im just I miss you, Mu Qiqi replied softly. Its been such a long time since we went on a real date.

Sheng Xiao could not help but roll his eyes when he heard that. Then, he put her down. Im busy right now. Lets talk it over tonight. Ill come and pick you up at eleven oclock. Well go to our same old place.

Are you going to leave now?

Did you know that there are around thirty people waiting for me? We have a meeting. Sheng Xiao left the small villa after he said that. He rushed back to Huang Yao.

Mu Qiqi could influence his mood so easily. If he could not see her with his own eyes and make sure that she was fine, Sheng Xiao would not be able to work properly.

Mu Qiqi felt a tinge of bitterness mixed with happiness when she saw Sheng Xiao leaving the small villa.

It was because she was unsure of her own future now

***

After Su Zipei reached the police station, the police officers made the proper arrangements for her to meet with Mama Mu alone.

Su Zipei could not be nice to Mama Mu because she was the kind of woman who could set up a scheme to harm her own daughter. She could only ask her gingerly, Just say whatever you want to say as long as youre willing to do justice to Qiqi.

Zipei, the Mu family plans to sacrifice me. They asked me to bear full responsibility for this case.

This is not a sacrifice. You deserve it. Qiqi was kicked out of the Mu family. She was deeply hurt. Now, she achieved good results after her own effort. But, what did you do? You plotted against her and ruined her future. Whats there in Mu Tangxue? How could you treat your other daughter like that for Mu Tangxue? Su Zipei could not help but cry when she talked about it.

If youre still a human, you should be ashamed of what youve done! You should regret it!

I know that Ive wronged Qiqi I thought that I could lead a luxurious life if I stayed in the Mu family forever. But, now I realized that they would not even care for me when Im locked up here in jail. Even my husband and daughter asked me to confess the truth!

I could look for no one else now. I know that Qiqi hates me intensely. So, thats why I want to meet you. I hope youll promise to find me a lawyer after I confess the truth. I want you to help me to get out of jail sooner. I wont listen to the Mu family this time around!

What do they plan to do?

They want me to say that Mu Tangxue is ignorant of the entire affair. Im the one who did everything by myself.

Su Zipei laughed coldly. Thats what you get for working your ass off for the Mu family!

Ill side with Qiqi this time around as long as you promise to find me a lawyer.

Dont you want your luxurious life anymore?

No, I dont want it anymore. Ill sue the Mu family and get my share of compensation when I get out of jail.

It was because Mama Mu knew very well that the people from the Mu family did not care for her at all. All they ever cared about was the shares of Mu Group.

And Mu Tangxue

It was just like a snowball. It was extremely cold.

But, the lawyer from the Mu family will stay by your side even if I give you my word.

I could pretend to do what he asked. Then, Ill tell the truth during confession.

Fine.

The Mu family was unaware of the fact that Su Zipei went to meet Mama Mu in the police station because Mama Mu begged the police officers not to spread that news.

After that, she told the lawyer from the Mu family that she would agree to do what they asked. She would bear full responsibility for the case so that Mu Group could return to its normal operations.

Both Grandpa Mu and Papa Mu were delighted with the news, especially Mu Tangxue. She even felt that she could get back her original results even if her stolen results were denied. It was because she was one of the victims too.

But

It was clear that she copied Mu Qiqis handwriting deliberately. It was quite obvious. How could she say that she was innocent? Who would believe her?

She was finally set at ease when Mama Mu promised to bear the responsibility for the whole case.

Did Mu Qiqi feel that she had won?

Not yet?

***

Su Zipei went home and told Mu Qiqi and Lu Wenhua what she had learned from Mama Mu.

Lu Wenhua could not help but remark, Theyre truly wealthy people. Its quite interesting now! Your sister is going to choose between two of her daughters!

I just want to know how much her testimony will affect Mu Tangxue.

If she claims that Mu Tangxue is innocent, then Mu Tangxue might be considered a victim in the end. Her results would be burned but she could still sit for the same exam the following year. On the other hand, Mu Tangxue could never sit for the same exam for three consecutive years if she is found guilty. Moreover, there would be a stain in her life no matter what she does in the future. Its two totally different outcomes.

Hence, it will do Qiqi no harm if shes on our side.

Good. Ill do all I can for Qiqi.

Aunt, youve gone through a hard time for me, Mu Qiqi expressed her gratitude for Su Zipei.

Qiqi, well wait for the final trial now. Mu Tangxue is definitely going to hell. Ill do all I can. Ill never let her escape from this!

Mu Qiqi nodded her head. She gave Su Zipei the pen which Sheng Xiao gave her. Aunt, Brother Xiao gave it to me. Its a voice recorder. Keep it with you for future use!

Alright.

Mu Tangxue knew that she would be fine now. She calmed down. She was again the princess in the Mu family.

She just missed an exam.

She did not get good results. It was a pity that her elder sister lost her exceptional results.

She didnt realize that one could never escape from the crimes he/she committed.

She escaped because she was lucky so she just thought that she would be fine. It would get dramatic when things started to get out of hand.

It was late at night. Mama Mu was being interrogated. The lawyer who worked for the Mu family was there too. He was rather satisfied when he left because Mama Mu did everything the Mu family told her to.

But, Mama Mu quickly changed her testimony the minute the lawyer left them. What I said just now is false. I want to change my testimony. I want to confess the entire truth.

It was obvious that a great drama would ensue the next day.

Finally, Su Zipei fell asleep. Mu Qiqi sneaked out of the small villa at eleven oclock. She saw Sheng Xiao standing under the moonlight. Her heart

Her heartbeat quickened.
