Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 330
Chapter 330: Out of Friendship
Lu Qianqian opened the box. There was a necklace with a dolphin pendant in the box.
“You are such a good friend!” Lu Qianqian punched her fist lightly on Lin Mu’an’s chest.
Mu Qiqi looked at them from down the stage. Love was in the air.
But those two were still pretending to be just good friends.
Soon, Sheng Xiao’s car stopped in front of the hotel. But when he saw the decoration and costumes, he dragged Mu Qiqi out of the hall. “Childish.”
“I think so too. Anyway, this was prepared by Lin Mu’an. He is sincere enough already.”
Sheng Xiao was reluctant to enter the childish hall and sat on the couch covered with lace.
Mu Qiqi comforted him by holding his hand gently. In fact, Sheng Xiao knew that Lin Mu’an prepared all these for Lu Qianqian because he liked her. If not, why would he do so much for her?
“Does that idiot misunderstand what is it like to be a twenty-year-old? Are you sure he is not celebrating Children’s Day?”
Mu Qiqi couldn’t stand Xiaoxiao’s comments and laughed out loud.
But, did it matter? It’s good as long as Qianqian was happy.
Soon, the pictures of Lu Qianqian when she was about five or six were projected for real on the screen in the hall. The girl in the picture had her hair tied up in a ponytail. She looked very cute.
Lu Qianqian was stunned and punched Lin Mu’an. “Where did you get these? I have never seen these pictures myself.”
“I got them from your teachers,” said Lin Mu’an, “Didn’t you start liking that scum since that time? So, you must relive your birthday since then and be more cautious from now on.”
Lu Qianqian looked at her pictures and thought of her ridiculous life back then.
“Thanks for your reminder. I was such an idiot.”
“It’s alright. Although your brain is a bit mushy and your eyes are a bit blind, you can still be saved. I’ll try.”
Lu Qianqian gave him a punch. “Do you really think I’m giving you a compliment?”
“Next time, when you want to pursue a man, make sure he will be good to you. Don’t sacrifice yourself again. Men are cheap.”
Lu Qianqian listened in silence. She did not answer.
She didn’t know why but her mind was full of the scenes when Lin Mu’an helped her to wipe off her sweat.
“Because of your rare humanity, I will not punch you again.”
“Now only do you realize I’m good to you?” Lin Mu’an grinned.
Mu Qiqi suddenly felt that she should not stay here any longer with Sheng Xiao. “Xiaoxiao, why don’t we go home?”
“Now you have realized you are a third wheel.”
Sheng Xiao looked at Mu Qiqi proudly. Then, they left quietly. Those two did not need an audience at all. They could enjoy themselves the whole night.
Of course, nobody realized that there was someone watching them from afar.
Seeing Lin Mu’an being so close with Lu Qianqian, the lady was shocked.
She went home immediately and told her parents about it.
Let’s think about it. To those people, Lu Qianqian was just a loose woman. But Lin Mu’an would rather choose to be with her than with other pure ladies. How could she accept this?
Her parents called Grandpa Lin immediately.
Grandpa Lin’s face darkened when he heard the news. He called his assistant. “Find out where Young Master is now.”
Lin Mu’an and Lu Qianqian did not realize that Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao had left at all.
This was how they got along. They chatted and drank together happily, in the name of good friends.
They were getting drunk. When Lu Qianqian could not sit straight anymore, she realized that Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao were no longer there. “Where is Qiqi?”
Lin Mu’an was holding her. He laughed. “They left a long time ago. I told you you’re blind, but you wouldn’t believe me.”
“I am very happy tonight, Lin Mu’an.”
The two were drunk in the hall, not knowing that Grandpa Lin had come to the hotel. He ordered a man to pour cold water on them to sober them up.
Lin Mu’an opened his eyes. He wanted to scold the man but soon he found out that it was his grandfather. As for Lu Qianqian, she was already sober.
“I wonder where you have been these days. I thought you have gone out to fool around. And it turns out to be true.”
“Grandpa…”
“Don’t talk to me right now. Miss Lu, can I have a word?” Grandpa Lin looked sharply at Lu Qianqian.
Lu Qianqian wiped away the cold water from her face and nodded.
But Lin Mu’an stood in front of Lu Qianqian and said, “Grandpa, it’s me who got her here. it has nothing to do with her. Don’t trouble her.”
“I just want to talk to her briefly. Why are you so concerned about it?”
Of course he had to. Because he knew how mean his grandfather could be.
If Lu Qianqian had listened to his words, she would never see him again.
“Grandpa, today is Qianqian’s birthday. I am just throwing her a birthday party out of friendship. That’s all.”
“Out of friendship?” Grandpa Lin snorted. “I always thought that you are a decent child, and you won’t make people worry about you. But looking at you tonight, I realized that you are not like what you portray in front of me. That is just an illusion.”
“If you don’t let me talk to Miss Lu in private, fine, I will say it right here…”
“No.” Lin Mu’an fought hard to protect Lu Qianqian’s dignity.
Grandpa Lin harrumphed and brought Lu Qianqian into another hall. Lin Mu’an sat on the floor. He felt guilty.
Because Lu Qianqian was only willing to open her heart to him after he worked so hard. She was able to live a new life after so much hardship. If Grandpa Lin got in between them, she might revert to her old pessimistic self.
In the absence of Lin Mu’an, Lu Qianqian stood before Grandpa Lin, lowering her head.
Grandpa Lin looked at her and asked, “Mu’an told me that I should not judge a book by its cover. And I should not value a person based on just one mistake she has done. Then, Miss Lu, can you tell me, what kind of a family that will allow you, a girl, to get drunk with a man in a hotel?”
Lu Qianqian was about to cry. She did not answer.
“You should know your identity and Mu’an’s. Your every single action is under the scrutiny of others. Don’t you know why you cannot be friends openly?”
“I don’t care if you like Mu’an or not. But let me tell you, I will not accept someone impure as my granddaughter-in-law!”
Hearing this outside the door, Lin Mu’an could not hold it in anymore. He pushed open the door, ignoring his angry grandfather, he said, “You go first.”
