Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 656

Chapter 656: I Don’t Like Others Negotiating Terms With Me

Sheng Bowen got Secretary Ren to assist Mu Qiqi since she knew Huang Yao’s current situation better.

Besides, Ren Yufei wanted to know what was playing in Mu Qiqi’s mind, why she wanted to meet the young lady instead of going to the rich woman first.

The two arrived at the young lady’s house. Before they entered, Ren Yufei asked Mu Qiqi, “Miss Mu, are you really planning to settle this person first? She has been very difficult to deal with.”

“Stop thinking and just go in. I’ve seen many difficult people. I won’t disappoint you. How can I make you worry about Third Brother?” Came Mu Qiqi’s reply.

Ren Yufei blushed immediately. It looked like Mu Qiqi had guessed it correctly, that this secretary’s respect for Sheng Bowen had gradually turned into love.

“Stop making such a joke, Miss Mu. CEO Sheng is married. I don’t want people to misunderstand him.”

The outsiders didn’t know about the divorce yet. And Mu Qiqi was not in the place to tell the secretary about it. She didn’t want to turn this nice secretary into Sheng Bowen’s rebound. That would be unfair to her.

“Alright, I will be careful next time. Ring the doorbell.”

The secretary nodded and did as she was told. Soon, a servant opened the door and asked them who they were looking for.

Ren Yufei explained their intention and the other party led them to the living room right away.

After waiting for about an hour, the young lady finally woke up. It was winter, but she wore a beige silk nightdress. She walked toward them and sat in front of them.

“You came for the fake diamond incident, right? But I have clearly stated my stand. I don’t want compensation and I don’t need an apology. You made me lose my face, so it’s only logical that I won’t reconcile with you, don’t you think so?”

The lady squinted at them and her tone was unforgiving. “No matter what request you want me to make today, I will simply tell you this. Huang Yao will only be able to have peace when I’m no longer angry.”

“Miss Gao, do I look like someone from Huang Yao?” Mu Qiqi laughed and asked.

The lady looked at Mu Qiqi and said, “I’ve seen the secretary beside you twice.”

“Miss Gao, you are a lady born in a prestigious family. Besides that, you’re also a fashion journalist. You learned about fashion from a young age and you own an official account in every major website. Am I right?”

“What are you trying to say?”

Mu Qiqi smiled confidently and took out her phone from her pocket. She swiped on the screen and tapped on a video she found. Then, she passed her phone to the lady.

“This is an old video. It’s your early work, Miss Gao. In the video, you give a thorough explanation on how to tell the difference between a fake and a real diamond. I’ll be frank with you. With your ability, it’s impossible that you’re unable to tell the difference between a real and a fake diamond.”

The lady didn’t expect Mu Qiqi to show her this video. Her face stiffened. “You’ve said it already. It’s an old video.”

“You’ve had such sharp eyes for years. Are you telling me you’ve actually lost your ability and you don’t know how to differentiate between a real diamond from a fake one? If so, aren’t you lying to the public when you published all these in your official accounts?” Mu Qiqi looked innocent, but she was in fact pressuring her.

If Miss Gao admitted that she bought a shoddy product, she would be suspected of lying to her fans. She was on the losing end either way.

“I was just confused. What’s so weird about that?”

“Miss Gao, I believe that you are just confused. But will your fans believe it?” Mu Qiqi tapped her fingers on the glass coffee table.

The lady was stunned by Mu Qiqi, so she could only look away.

“The rich woman said that she bought a fake diamond. Well, I’ll just consider her as someone who can’t tell the quality of the diamond she bought. But a veteran fashion journalist like you… Would you make such a mistake?” Mu Qiqi pressed on.

The lady’s eyes flickered, and she clenched her fists subconsciously. She was nervous.

“You don’t have to be nervous, Miss Gao. I told you I’m not a staff member of Huang Yao. I’m not here to question you today. I just want to help you solve your problem.”

The lady bit her lips. At last, she turned her head and looked at Mu Qiqi warily. “Can you really solve this?”

“That will depend on the mutual trust between you and me. You should tell me why you are doing this, Miss Gao. This is the precondition.” Mu Qiqi immediately gave her a condition.

The lady was reluctant to do so, because the matter was not threatening enough to Miss Gao.

“I can’t tell you.”

Mu Qiqi reacted as if she knew she would refuse. She smiled and said, “It’s fine. I still have to meet with the rich woman. I wonder if she would give me the same answer. But, let me advise you, Miss Gao. Slandering Huang Yao will bring you no good. Even if Huang Yao collapses, the Sheng family will still have Zhongteng. What about you? As the person involved in this, do you think that you will be able to escape unscathed from the matter once Huang Yao is affected? We can just perish together. We won’t be bothered since the Sheng family has a big business. We can just make less money. But for you, you will lose your reputation. This will be worse than you committing suicide because everything you’ve been working hard for will come to naught. So, fine then. I’m a very kind person, you know. I just came to tell you how we’re looking at this. Since you have given me your answer, we’ll leave. After all, your time is very valuable.”

Having said that, Mu Qiqi got up from the sofa and Ren Yufei followed behind her.

They headed to the door without any hesitation, as if they really didn’t worry that Huang Yao might lose its reputation.

Feeling depressed, Miss Gao stopped them. “Will you really be able to think of a solution if I tell you who is the one behind this?”

“I told you, you must explain it to me first. I don’t like others negotiating terms with me.”

The lady had no choice. In the end, she gestured them to the sofa. “Please sit down. I’ll tell you everything.”

When Mu Qiqi and Ren Yufei sat down again, Miss Gao continued, “You’re right. I knew it was a fake diamond when I bought the necklace. My boyfriend was losing money in his business, so I needed a lot of money. When that person came to me, I was very reluctant. If I knew there was someone so clever, I wouldn’t have agreed to slander Huang Yao for him.”
