Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 497
Chapter 497: I Will Chase You Down Even if I Become a Ghost
Gu Ziling could not do anything to Mu Qiqi, so she vented her anger on Hu Ran. “Wait until we get home. I shall see how you explain to Grandpa, for humiliating me with Mu Qiqi.”
“You should worry about your status first.” Hu Ran shrugged.
When the Gu family collapsed, it would mean that Gu Ziling had lost her backup.
Gu Ziling knew how horrible it was not to have a backup when living in the Sheng family.
“When the building of the Gu family has gone to waste, Third Sister-in-law will replace you eventually. If you show your fear now on your face, how will you be able to endure it in the future?”
Seeing Mu Qiqi say this in such a nonchalant manner, Gu Ziling’s eyes were filled with anger and hatred.
But Mu Qiqi had Sheng Xiao. He was the man who was always looking at the whole of Jianchuan. If anything happened, he would be the first person to know about it. But she? When she was standing in front of Mu Qiqi, she still could not figure out how much information Mu Qiqi had in hand about her. How could she win?
From this alone, she could see the difference between Sheng Kai and Sheng Xiao. A layman and a prodigy were indeed people of two different levels.
Sheng Xiao was a visionary. Not even ten of Sheng Kais could compare with him.
“Ladies and gentlemen, good evening.” The emcee started the auction with greetings.
Seeing this, Lu Qianqian leaned against Mu Qiqi’s arm. “She could not even be considered as your opponent. Don’t waste your time on her.”
“I was just reminding her to let her be aware of that.” Mu Qiqi chuckled.
Gu Ziling left angrily. She went to the powder room to wash her face and to calm herself down. But in the mirror, she saw her frustrated face, which was extremely ugly.
In the hall, Mu Qiqi was talking to Hu Ran, holding a glass of champagne. “She will definitely trouble you after she goes back.”
“Is the matter about her father real?” Hu Ran narrowed her eyes.
“I’m not sure. But it was Xiaoxiao who told me this, so I suppose it is true.” Mu Qiqi smiled.
“Then it is easy to deal with Gu Ziling now.” Hu Ran smiled. “She hurt me with glass shards and fed me food I am allergic to when we were in Sheng Mansion. I was still looking for a chance to get back at her and now I have the chance.”
“Don’t let her go easily this time.” Mu Qiqi blinked her eyes.
After some time, Gu Ziling returned to the hall. Right at that moment, the emcee was auctioning off the item she donated.
This night, apart from their appearance, people would definitely compare Gu Ziling with Mu Qiqi in terms of charity.
The item Gu Ziling donated was a precious ring of Huang Yao. There were three blue diamonds inlaid on the ring. The diamonds were very rare and precious. In terms of charity, the Sheng family was still rich enough to make Gu Ziling walk with her nose in the air.
The starting price of the ring was three million, which was the most expensive lot tonight.
Everyone thought that Mu Qiqi would be competing with her. On the contrary, Mu Qiqi simply did as Sheng Xiao told her. She announced that Zhongteng would provide sponsorship in education nationwide and overseas to build schools and contribute to the development of education for the next ten years.
With this, it seemed that Mu Qiqi was in fact not coming to compete with Gu Ziling. She really just came to complete the task given by Zhongteng to give back to society.
“Qiqi, I thought your Crown Prince had an ulterior motive, spending his money to make you happy.”
“What are you kidding about? Zhongteng is doing real business and real charity, and I am very happy about it,” explained Mu Qiqi to Lu Qianqian.
“How much is Zhongteng going to invest in education for the next ten years?”
“We will be able to get great returns too. Don’t you think? Since Zhongteng needs talents now.”
Lu Qianqian gave her a thumb up upon hearing this. “I must say that your Crown Prince is still as sharp-witted as he used to.”
“Don’t call him ‘Crown Prince’ anymore.”
“Right, he is a king now.” Lu Qianqian could not help but laugh.
The Sheng had indeed spent a fortune. With just a ring, they managed to collect millions of dollars in donation. But they did not care if the money was used in charity to help people in need or not. They just wanted to be praised briefly.
But when doing charity half-heartedly would not make people see your sincerity.
“It is only reasonable for Huang Yao to get the attention after spending such a fortune. But what I do not expect is that Sheng Xiao, who used to be so flamboyant is now so humble after establishing Zhongteng. I thought he would want to beat Huang Yao in everything.”
“Building a school needs at least ten million dollars. And Zhongteng has promised to invest for ten years. The amount of money donated by Huang Yao is not comparable to Zhongteng. And I can see the sincerity of Zhongteng in doing charity.”
“And we can see that Huang Yao is still trying to compete with Zhongteng. But it seems that Sheng Xiao is totally unconcerned about Huang Yao.”
The gossip about Huang Yao and Zhongteng among the guests was never ending.
They previously thought that Gu Ziling and Mu Qiqi would fight fiercely during the occasion and they would be able to enjoy watching a great scene. But in the end, when everyone was coming to watch drama, Zhongteng had indeed come to do charity instead.
Sheng Xiao used this to tell people that Mu Qiqi and Gu Ziling were two people from two different worlds.
One of them was rich in money.
And another was rich in money, and in heart.
In fact, the item the Sheng family had donated was not the ring. It was just that Gu Ziling wanted to show off that she had taken out her personal belongings as the donation. It was a gift from Sheng Kai.
But even so, she did not get much attention and admiration from the people. This made Gu Ziling rather annoyed.
…
The event did not last long. An hour and a half soon passed with almost all the items sold to the bidders.
After the announcement of Zhongteng’s donation to build schools, the charitable deeds done by the others became seemingly insignificant. Soon, everyone left.
In the meantime, the news about Papa Gu being seriously ill was spread. Mama Gu called and asked Gu Ziling to go home immediately.
Just now, Mu Qiqi had used this to threaten her and now the news had spread. It must have been done by that bitch.
So, Gu Ziling disregarded the fact that they were in a serious occasion and rushed to the main entrance, clenching her fists. As soon as she saw Mu Qiqi, she raised her hand, wanting to slap her in her face. However, Lu Qianqian grabbed her wrist just in time.
After all, Lu Qianqian had been training hard in boxing, so her response was fast. “Are you crazy?”
“Mu Qiqi, you bitch. You spread the news about my father. If my father dies, I will chase you down even if I become a ghost.”
“Can you prove that it is me who spread the news?”
“Nobody can know about this apart from you and Sheng Xiao.” Gu Ziling became hysterical. Her body was shaking, because she knew what trouble she was about to face.
“Let’s say if it was me. How are you going to deal with me?” Mu Qiqi asked in return seriously. “If I were you, I would not make myself more enemies. Do you think the crisis your family is facing is still not big enough?”
