Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Real and Fake Mu Qiqi

It was seven o’clock when Mu Qiqi came to the hospital. She brought the chicken soup Su Zipei cooked for him along.

Rong Junhan was in the ward. When she saw Mu Qiqi, she pretended to talk to Shen Jianchuan casually. “I will go to the hospital kitchen to make you some food.

In fact, Rong Junhan loathed Mu Qiqi after the incident at Shen Mansion. She left because she wanted to get the clothes for Mu Tangxue.

Shen Jianchuan nodded but his gaze stayed on Mu Qiqi.

After Rong Junhan left, Mu Qiqi slowly relaxed. She asked, “Father, are you alright?”

Shen Jianchuan could sense Mu Qiqi’s care from her eyes. He nodded his head lightly and uttered a simple answer. “Very… good.”

“Does Aunt Rong make things difficult for you?”

Shen Jianchuan shook his head after listening to Mu Qiqi’s question.

“Great.” Mu Qiqi was not convinced with Shen Jianchuan’s answer. But she did not understand her father well enough, so she was still unsure if her father had been bewitched by Rong Junhan.

Shen Jianchuan was satisfied as long as he could see his daughter. So, no matter how difficult the rehabilitation was, he would overcome the difficulties bravely.

Shen Jianchuan studied his daughter. She looked very much like Su Ziqing when she was young. But when he saw the tattoo on her earlobe, he asked, “The tattoo looked like a person’s name, isn’t it?”

Mu Qiqi was surprised when her father guessed it right. Then, she quickly calmed herself down and said, “Yes. It is the name of the person who saved me. I got this tattoo on my ear to show my gratitude toward him and to remind myself to live a good life.”

Shen Jianchuan looked sorry for his daughter when he heard her answer.

“It is all my fault.”

“No, it isn’t. It has nothing to do with you.” Mu Qiqi smiled. “If you really think that you are sorry, then you should hurry up and recover. Okay?”

Shen Jianchuan drank the chicken soup prepared by his daughter with satisfaction. Then, he listened to Mu Qiqi recounting the incident that happened in Shen Mansion.

But since he could not converse normally like people always did, the father and daughter did not talk for long.

An hour later, Mu Qiqi left the hospital.

Then, Rong Junhan entered the ward with dinner. “Has Qiqi left already?”

Shen Jianchuan nodded.

“Qiqi needs to be educated.”

Shen Jianchuan did not respond. He knew what happened in Shen Mansion. Grandpa Shen and Qiqi had told him earlier. He did not know if Qiqi needed to be educated yet, but he was very clear about Rong Junhan’s wickedness.

She always tried to get chances to bully Qiqi. Because she looked like her mother, Su Ziqing. They were too similar.

After dinner, Shen Jianchuan saw the face he was familiar with again.

When Rong Junhan saw that it was “Mu Qiqi”, she asked, “Why do you come back here?”

“I dropped something. So, I came to look for it.”

Rong Junhan harrumphed but did not say anything. She treated the fake Mu Qiqi just like how she always did to the real one. As for’Mu Qiqi’, she walked to the side of Shen Jianchuan’s bed and sat down. “Father.”

Shen Jianchuan looked at his daughter lovingly. But he had a strong feeling that this daughter was very different from the one who came just now. Their eyes were different.

Mu Qiqi looked very confident and calm just now. But the one in front of him now looked very anxious. Although they looked just the same, Shen Jianchuan could still tell them apart. After all, he paid a lot of attention to his daughter every time she visited him. He could tell how she felt. He knew what kind of faces she liked to make.

Then, Shen Jianchuan deliberately looked at her earlobe. He pretended to discover the tattoo like it was his first time seeing it. He asked, “Why did you get the letters tattooed on your ear? What is the meaning of the tattoo?”

Mu Tangxue touched her earlobe and simply answered. “There is nothing special about it. It just looked nice.”

Shen Jianchuan was sure about it once he heard the answer. But he acted normal. He said, “What have you dropped here? Hurry up and look for it.”

“My key.” Mu Tangxue looked around and bent down beside Shen Jianchuan’s bed. She pretended to find the key on the floor and said, “Luckily it’s here. I thought I had lost it.”

“It’s late now. Go back and take a good rest, Qiqi. Can you come again this weekend? I have a physiotherapy appointment that day. I need your encouragement!”

“Of course.” Mu Tangxue was very happy. Did it mean that she passed the test when Shen Jinchuan said that?

Rong Junhan signaled her to leave. She did great tonight. If she did not look carefully, she couldn’t even tell if she was Mu Tangxue or Mu Qiqi. Of course, Shen Jianchuan would not be able to distinguish between then.

But they did not know one very important detail that was impossible to imitate. Even if Mu Tangxue looked exactly the same as Mu Qiqi, she could never become the real one. Because the eyes would not lie, and one other thing—breathing pattern.

If Mu Tangxue remained silent and just stood there, maybe she could deceive the others. But once she started talking, everything would become obvious.

Moreover, Shen Jianchuan had already known the truth through the tattoo.

Mu Qiqi had told her that the tattoo was the name of her life savior. The tattoo was her admiration toward him.

But Mu Tangxue said the tattoo was meaningless. It just looked pretty.

That was why he made Mu Tangxue promise him to come this weekend, so that Grandpa Shen would bring Qiqi to the hospital at the same time. By then, he wanted to see how Mu Tangxue was going to lie.

Of course, he wanted to see how Rong Junhan responded to that!

…

Mu Tangxue left the hospital. After a while, Rong Junhan followed suit. When Rong Junhan saw Mu Tangxue in the parking lot, she smirked. “You have finally proved yourself to be useful to me.”

“What should we do next?”

“Shen Jianchuan is easy to be taken care of. But the other Shens would be rather handy, especially that old man. But you don’t need to appear in front of them. You just have to do as I say and cause them some trouble. That’s all.”

“When you come to the hospital this coming weekend, you should try to learn if there is any imperfection of your disguise from Shen Jianchuan. This is a good chance to perfect your disguise. You did great tonight.

She did great?

Did Rong Junhan really think that Shen Jianchuan had fallen into their trap?

The next morning, Shen Jianchuan asked the nurse to call Grandpa Shen. He needed to see his father.

Grandpa Shen went to the hospital in secret. When he heard about the fake Mu Qiqi, he roared in fury. “We shouldn’t have underestimated Rong Junhan’s ability. Does she think that we do not know she is using Mu Tangxue to play her tricks?”

“Father, I have told that girl to come this weekend. You should bring Mu Qiqi here by then. We have a great performance to put on.”
