Oh my god! What happened?
Clueless, Mu Yu stood up hurriedly. She couldn’t even be bothered to clean the dust on her body. At that moment, she heard Qin Jinhuan questioning his grandfather. “Grandpa, what are you doing?!”
“Tell her to get lost! Now!”
Mu Yu took a good look. The one who furiously accused her as a loose woman and chased her away was actually Qin Xiaozhi.
Feeling dumbstruck and wronged, she retorted, “Grandpa, aren’t you the one who invited me over? How could you?”
“Pooh!” Qin Xiaozhi spitted with fury. “You don’t deserve to call me Grandpa. How shameless of you! Get lost now!”
“You…” Tears welled up in Mu Yu’s eyes.
Qin Jinhuan stopped being cheeky and said to her, “Please leave first.” As he turned around and forcefully pushed Qin Xiaozhi into the house, he explained to him, “Grandpa, you misunderstood, she is not…”
“How dare you defend the b*tch?! You too get lost! Go!”
Mu Yu ran away from the mansion. Qin Xiaozhi’s harsh snarl still lingered in her ears.
She couldn’t fathom why this elderly changed his mind so quickly.
It was fine if he just asked her to get lost, but he actually accused her of being a loose woman, and even called her a b*tch!
Something is not right. Grandpa has brain atrophy, he probably wasn’t in his proper state of mind, I can’t blame him. The jerk Qin Jinhuan must have been bringing loose women home constantly and caught by grandpa, so that’s why grandpa misunderstood me and lashed out on me with those harsh words. It’s all Qin Jinhuan’s fault.
The thoughts of Qin Jinhuan’s flirtatious behaviour earlier made Mu Yu’s blood boil. Touching her own burning cheeks, she fiercely gritted her teeth.
Forget about it, just move on. I will never cross paths with him again once I get Mu’s penis back from him anyway.
She was still frustrated even though she tried to make peace with this fact, unable to stop herself from cursing Qin Jinhuan.
She came to the entrance area upon leaving the mansion and hailed a cab to get back to True Love. The whiff of food reminded her that she hadn’t taken her lunch. She brought two breads and finished them before riding home with Mu on her scooter.
She recalled Xiao Qi’s incident when she reached the house. She thought she would be scolded by her mother but to her surprise, her mother said nothing about it. Not only that, her mother even helped her move Mu’s out of the car pleasantly. She guessed that Xiao Qi must be too ashamed to tell her mother what happened in the restaurant. Secretly delighted, she went back to her room without saying much, waiting for Qin Jinhuan’s phone call so that she could go and get Mu’s penis home. However, despite waiting until 11p.m, he never called. Feeling like a fool for waiting faithfully, she sneered and took out his name card from her pocket, deciding to make the call herself instead.
“Who is on the line?” Qin Jinhuan picked up the call very soon, sounding a little out of breath.
Mu Yu recognized his voice. She questioned coldly, “When are you going to return my penis?”
“It’s you? I’m not free right now.”
She questioned, “When will you be free then?”
“I will look for it later...”
“Ouch, you’re hurting me.” A soft lady voice was heard on the phone. The call got cut off immediately.
“Hello? Hello!”
Suddenly, she realized what Qin Jinhuan was doing. As fiery color crept up her cheeks, Mu Yu threw her phone on the bed, as though it was a burning coal. She couldn’t help but scoffed, “Jerk!”
Fine. It’s normal for an uncle to have nightlife anyway. Let’s just wait, since he said he will get back to me later.
Mu Yu lied on bed once again, putting the phone next to her with her eyes closed.
“Yu, please throw the trash.” She heard her mother’s calling.
“Ok.” She took the trash out immediately.
When she was just about tens of meters away from the rubbish collection point, she heard someone screaming, “Somebody got killed!”
She was immediately paralyzed with fear. The trash bag fell out of her hand, as she stood rooted on the ground dumbstruck.
Right at that moment, a bleeding decapitated head rolled to her foot. The big eyes stared up at her fiercely.
“Ahhh—”
Her eyes snapped open. Only then she realized that it was just a nightmare—the same recurring nightmare that had haunted her for the past decade.
The dream was so vivid, so extremely real. It shook her to the core every time.
Sigh...
She thought she could finally get over it when she overcame her own psychological fear and became a forensic doctor, but apparently she did not.
Perturbed, she wiped her sweat off.
The phone rang at that moment. Without a proper look at the numbers displayed on the screen, she thought it was from Qin Jinhuan. She picked up the call happily. “You…”
“I am Rong Jian. There is a murder case in Cheng Xi Forest. Dr. Mu, please meet up with us at the crime scene as soon as possible. We will bring along the tool case.”
Mu Yu was distraught. She got up from bed and left hurriedly.
At that moment, the morning sun was just rising, and the entire city was not fully awake. Mu Yu rode on her scooter and rushed to the west woods not far from her home. There was a black car parked at the side. She heard the police siren and thought that it belonged to a colleague living nearby that arrived earlier than her. She stopped her scooter at the side and ran into the woods. The woods were eerily quiet, making people have chills but she wasn’t scared since she knew her colleagues were arriving soon. As she ran, she looked at her surroundings at the same time. When she saw a person lying under the tree not far away, she quickly rushed over. Unexpectedly, a white shadow appeared from the side. She took a few steps back immediately and looked over vigilantly. Qin Jinhuan?! Why is he here? She was very surprised. “It’s you?” Qin Jinhuan was clearly surprised as well. He continued saying, “Don’t come over!”
“Why are you here?!” Startled at the appearance of Qin Jinhuan in Rong Jian’s office, Mu Yu frantically scanned her surroundings for any sight of Rong Jian.“Are you surprised?” Qin Jinhuan gave a mystified smile. “Chief Rong specifically made his office available for our date. What a great guy he is…”“Hey! What are you talking about?!” Mu Yu exclaimed exasperatedly. “Who is on a date with you?”“A single guy and girl like you and me in a room alone, if this is not a date, then what is it?”By now, Mu Yu was boiling with anger. Not wanting to engage him further, she turned around and stormed out.“That thing of yours, you don’t want it anymore?”Upon hearing this, Mu Yu made an about turn and marched over to the desk with an outstretched hand. “Hand it over!”“Hand what over?”“That… thing!”“Hahaha!” As though he had heard a hilarious joke, Qin Jinhuan started guffa
After running out of Rong Jian’s office sobbing uncontrollably, it was a moment before Mu Yu realized her public outburst. Scanning her surroundings in panic, she assured herself that her antics had not drawn the attention of any colleagues, before slipping into the toilet. After washing her face, she calmed her emotions down before walking back to the forensic lab.To be honest, she was not expecting herself to cry like that. It just so happened that her already bad mood was compounded by Qin Jinhuan purposely making a fool of herself, leaving her seething with anger and feeling a sense of injustice.Damned that wily old fox!As her hands curled around the plastic appendage in her pocket, she consoled herself with the thought that she would never have to interact with him again, which cheered her up a little. As she entered the forensic lab, she saw Dr. Feng Rubing hard at work. She immediately went over and offered, “Teacher Feng, can I help
The corners of Qin Jinhuan’s lips curled upward. He put his phone away and swaggered out. At the door, he turned around and saw that Mu Yu was still standing motionless. At once, his eyes dimmed. “To pay back money or visit grandpa?” “I have to apply for a leave first.” Mu Yu looked disconcerted. “That’s simple.” Qin Jinhuan signaled for her to catch up. He then dialled Rong Jian’s number and said, “I’m bringing little Mayo back to visit grandpa.” He hung up right after. Along the corridor, some colleagues took a double take. Mu Yu was embarrassed. She blushed and scolded in a low register, “How can you say that?” “Am I not telling the truth?” Qin Jinhuan replied with feigned surprise.Mu Yu was pissed off by the craftiness in his eyes, but there was no reason for her to react. All she could do was to walk away unhappily. “My car is here.” “Please keep your voice down. I’m not deaf.” Ann
Qin Jinhuan? Mu Yu stopped yelling when a closer look revealed that it was him. Pointing at the check in his hands, she put on a straight face and said, “You are right on time. I was just about to go looking for you. Keep the check—that’s repayment for my hundred thousand in debt. The remaining 4.9 million bucks can count as interest. Effective now, we don’t owe each other anymore.” Qin Jinhuan laughed at her speech. “Isn’t it a little too early to say that there is no more debt?” Mu Yu heard the dissent. She instantly looked at him nervously and asked, “What do you mean by that?” Qin Jinhuan waved the check in his hand. “You took advantage of grandpa’s delirium and spurred him into writing this huge check for you. I have both witness and evidence. I can sue you for scam. You are from the public security sector, deliberately breaking the law would be a demerit.” Mu Yu was mind blown. “No, no! I did not instigate a
A glance at the phone caller ID revealed that it was her best friend, Jiang Wenwen. Mu Yu quickly answered the phone and Jiang Wenwen bombarded her with questions. “Mu Yu, do you know that your Brother Yihan is getting married?”Mu Yu had deliberately avoided thinking of this, and her heart sank at her best friend's reminder. As a lump formed in her throat, she forced a smile and replied, “I know. I received an invitation today. Well, how do you know about this?”“I just saw him deliver an invitation to our principal. His publishing firm has business ties with our school. By the way, he gave me an invitation card and invited me to his reception too. Yu, your precious man is getting married, but the bride isn’t you. Aren’t you sad about this?”Jiang Wenwen was a Chinese language teacher at a middle school. “Brother Yihan is getting married. As his sister, I should be giving him my blessings. Why will I be sad?”“Come o
Mu Yun’s heart clenched at the sound of her mother’s shouting. She instinctively shrank into the kitchen corner and peaked outside. “Auntie, don’t you recognize me? It’s Wenwen, Jiang Wenwen.” It turned out to be Wenwen. She had forgotten their promise to meet up today. Mu Yu heaved a sigh of relief and laughed at her own overthinking. Even if the wily old fox needed her, he wouldn’t show up at her house. At most, he would make a call. After all, she was now his little pet. All he needed to do was to use his summon card. “Hey, penny for your thoughts?”Jiang Wenwen patted Mu Yu as her mother looked on with curiosity. Mu Yu gave her a rushed smile. “I was listening to the conversation between you and my mum.” Jiang Wenwen got up and grabbed Mu Yu’s arm, smiling happily. “According to auntie, I’ve become so beautiful that she couldn’t recognize me!”
Jiang Wenwen’s face paled and she hastily stood up. She smiled and explained, “Auntie, you misunderstood. We were only joking.”“Yes, yes, yes… It was only a joke.” Mu Yu laughed unnaturally. Hu Meiling eyed her closely and asked, “Was it Xiao Qi? If he kissed and touched you, he must bear the responsibility!”Mu Yu was shocked. She shook her head vigorously and denied, “No, no, mum. We were really just joking! Don’t take it seriously!”If her mother hunted down Xiao Qi to demand that he bear responsibility, her reputation would be gone. Moreover, she had every reason to believe that her mother would do exactly that, since she was eager for Mu Yu to get married as soon as possible.“Was it really just a joke?”“Yes, of course it was a joke!” Mu Yu and Jiang Wenwen replied in unison. Hu Meiling was furious. “How can you joke about something like this? You are girls! This is ridi
