My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 100
Chapter 100 Grievance
“Dong Wanqing! You despicable rat!”
Snapped, Mu Yu yelled as she shoved Dong Wanqing, who was unprepared, and Dong Wanqing fell to the ground in a gorgeous fashion.
“Ouch!”
Flap!
“You with the surname Mu, what are you doing?!”
Dong Wanqing’s scream, the sound of her dress ripping apart and the sound of Dong Yueyun yelling broke out together.
“Dong Wanqing, I will never forgive you!”
“Hey you! Stand right there! What are you going batshit crazy for?!” Dong Yueyun moved quickly to shield her niece. She glared at Mu Yu, who was charging toward them, while gesturing with her hand behind her back for Dong Wanqing to get up as quickly as possible.
“Move over! Move over—” Mu Yu screamed with bloodshot eyes.
It was the first time Dong Wanqing saw Mu Yu in such a ferocious and tough state. Guilt-ridden at first, she instantly freaked out. She hardly got up and tucked her head, hiding behind her aunt. Pulling her ripped dress together to cover herself up, she demanded along with her aunt, albeit timidly.
“What am I doing? You should know that very well!” Mu Yu charged toward them again like a lioness attacking her prey.
“What did she do? Explain first!” Dong Yueyun tried her best to get in between them, stopping Mu Yu from getting closer to her niece.
Her words reminded Dong Wanqing, who craned her head out from her aunt’s back and pretended to be innocent as she asked Mu Yu, “What did I do? Why don’t I know about it? You should remind me instead!”
She thought Mu Yu came for her in such fury because Mu Yu discovered she was the one who drugged Qin Jinhuan last night. She was adamant that Mu Yu wouldn’t spread this out to the public since Qin Jinhuan was a public figure. Besides, even if Mu Yu really spoke out, she could just flatly deny, since there was no proof after all. If Mu Yu forced her into the corner, she would bite back at her indecency and see how Mu Yu was going to solve this mess. After all, she had Grandpa to cover her back.
With this on her mind, Dong Wanqing regained her confidence, and her eyes flickered less when she looked at Mu Yu again.
But upon seeing Mu Yu with her unkempt hair and reddened eyes, hickeys visible on her chest, Dong Wanqing thought it was because the dose she gave Qin Jinhuan last night was too high, causing him to ‘make use of’ Mu Yu. Recalling how she dressed up to the nines and waited with shyness only to lose the opportunity last night, Dong Wanqing was jealous to the verge of going insane.
“You! You shameless woman! Depraved!” On the other hand, Mu Yu didn’t know what was going on in Dong Wanqing’s mind, and was baffled for the time being except to vent out her anger toward Dong Wanqing by shouting at her.
After all, she couldn’t speak out on how she was harmed at such an occasion, not to mention letting everybody know she lost her virginity to someone else. At this moment, she had no choice but to keep her grievances to herself.
“Who are you to accuse our Wanqing for being shameless without any proof? What did our Wanqing do wrong? I’m warning you, eat anything as you please, but never defile anyone like that!” Dong Yueyun didn’t understand what happened between the two of them, but she clearly sensed the circumstances had shifted in her and her niece’s favor, and her tone turned aggressive.
“That’s right! If not I’ll sue you for slander!” Emboldened, Dong Wanqing stood up with her hands on her hips, only to be reminded of her ripped dress. She immediately slouched down to cover the near-exposed part of her dress, as her face twitched with spite.
“Sue me! Come on, sue me!” Mu Yu yelled as she pointed to the front door.
She was outraged by the righteous aunt and niece, but because she couldn’t question Dong Wanqing directly and arguing with people wasn’t her specialty, she was out of her wits and could only refute what they were saying.
Noticing the onlookers have started to gather, Dong Yueyun wanted no more complication. She gave her trench coat to Dong Wanqing so that her niece could cover up her tattered dress, then glared coldly at Mu Yu and whispered, “Let’s not argue with this lunatic. Let’s go,” and tugged on Dong Wanqing and left.
To tell the truth, should Mu Yu dare to be so arrogant toward them a few days ago, she would have instigated Dong Wanqing to scratch Mu Yu’s face. But now that she and her husband are the ‘sinners’ of the Qin family, it was merciful enough for Qin Jinhuan to keep her husband’s position in the company and allow them to stay in the Qin family, even if it was just for Xi’s sake. On top of that, Mu Yu was Qin Jinhuan’s lawful wife, so even though she was being over the top today, Dong Yueyun would just endure it for the sake of Qin Jinhuan. She did not want to anger him as that could well mean banishment for her and her husband.
“Aunt Yueyun, why should we be the ones who leave? Let her explain herself! She…”
“Let’s go!”
“Aunt Yueyun…”
“Don’t leave! Stay there, Dong Wanqing! You…”
“What happened, Yu?”
“Yihan?” Mu Yu ran toward the door but stopped when she saw Xin Yihan coming toward her with a surprised look. She looked over menacingly at Dong Yueyun, who was dragging away Dong Wanqing, the person who destroyed her love life.
“Why? What is the matter?” Xin Yihan’s look was full of worry.
“Nothing.” Mu Yu turned her face to the side as she struggled to hold back her tears.
In the past, she would have bawled her eyes no matter how trivial her grievances were whenever she saw Xin Yihan, let alone such distress. Xin Yihan had always been the big brother she could wholeheartedly trust and rely on.
But now…
She couldn’t let him know what had happened, as she didn’t want to worry him, and all the more so because she wouldn’t want him to look down on her.
“No! There must be something with the way you look!” Xin Yihan pulled her into a quiet corner after looking around. He asked again anxiously, “Tell me what happened exactly. Did Young Master Qin mistreat you?”
“No, it wasn’t him.” Mu Yu’s heart ached at the mention of Qin Jinhuan.
“Then what happened? Tell me, Yu!”
She sniffed her nose and wiped away rebellious tears. Trying to pretend that everything is alright, she explained, “It’s just that I really hate those two women in the Qin family. They are always mean to me.”
“Is that it?”
“Yeah.”
“Really?” Xin Yihan apparently wasn’t convinced yet.
“Yes!”
“Where is Young Master Qin?”
“He…He went to the office.”
“Why didn’t you tell him that those two women were bullying you?”
“He is just back to being the CEO again, isn’t he? He must be extremely busy. I don’t want to bother him with trivialities like this.”
Xin Yihan was furious. “How could it be a small matter when his wife is mistreated? You should call him right now and tell him the situation so he can warn off those two! If you’re not going to make the call, I will!”
“Yihan!” Mu Yu dashed toward him to stop him from taking out his phone. What if he became suspicious when Qin Jinhuan did not answer the call? She quickly found an excuse. “I don’t want him to feel like I’m useless that I couldn’t even handle such family matters.”
“But…”
“To be honest, Huan had warned them long ago, so they dare not do anything extreme to me. I was the one who provoked them today. You saw it yourself, it was me who ran after and fought with them.”
“Then why did you fight with them?”
“Because…I was already annoyed with them in the first place, especially when I saw how happy they were, so I became even more irritated.”
“Oh you, how dare you mess with Dong Yueyun! Don’t you know how unreasonable and sinister she is?” Xin Yihan apparently believed her story. He sighed and shook his head. “Listen to me. As long as she doesn’t provoke you, try to avoid dealing with her in the future, okay?”
“Yeah.” Mu Yu nodded her head, pretending to be attentive.
Xin Yihan looked somewhat relieved and asked, “So where are you going now?”
“I, umm…Huan is at his office so I’m quite free now. I’m thinking of going back to my mom’s house for a visit.”
“You haven’t been working lately?”
“No. Too many things were happening at home. My supervisor took care of it and gave me a few days off.”
“Oh, then I’ll send you over to your parent’s place.”
“No you don’t have to, Yihan. You should continue with your work. I will…”
“I’m going to the office anyway. It’ll be along the way.”
“My parents moved away, so it’s no longer on the way to your office.”
“That’s not a problem. It wouldn’t take much time with a car anyway. Okay, let’s dally no more or the traffic officer will soon come over and write a ticket for me.” He drove his car past here and stopped by the roadside to answer a call, only to step off his car when he unexpectedly saw Mu Yu arguing with Dong Yueyun.
Running out of reasons to decline his offer, Mu Yu obeyed and entered his car. She made some small talk with him while pretending that nothing happened to hide her anxiety from him.
Luckily, it was peak rush hour, and the road was crowded with cars. Xin Yihan paid little attention to her facial expressions while navigating the traffic.
After half an hour, Xin Yihan drove her to the entrance of the residential area where she claimed her parents were staying. At her insistence, he dropped her off at the entrance.
Xin Yihan stayed inside the car, silently looking after her with conflicted feelings as she slowly walked away.
Although he gave Yi Yunzhe some discreet help, in the end he was unable to outmaneuver Qin Xiaozhi’s cunningness and Qin Jinhuan’s savviness. Even after Qin Jinhuan was expelled, he became the CEO of the Qing Tian Group once again. This made him feel dejected.
Is this fate?
He sighed deeply.
Mu Yu kept marching forward with her head low. She was not aware of Xin Yihan’s mixed feelings, but she knew he would look after her. She slowed down her pace only after she turned into a corner and was out of his sight.
Of course she knew of Dong Yueyun’s capability even without Xin Yihan’s reminder. It was just that she was full of pent-up fury and wanted nothing more than letting it out on Dong Wanqing.
No, she shouldn’t have simply shoved Dong Wanqing. She should have given her a couple of slaps instead!
She somewhat regretted how soft-hearted she was.
The way things had gotten to this point, even if she killed Dong Wanqing, it would still be too late. Besides, Mu Yu is not one who was inclined to cause trouble.
Standing at the stairway leading to her parents’ home, Mu Yu felt wronged to the verge of tears.
She was never a delicate girl, but her tear ducts seemed to be failing her today, which brought her to the verge of tears. She wanted to cry upon seeing Yihan, and was fully expecting to burst into tears when she met her parents.
Sigh…
Trying her best to sort out her feelings, she felt herself feeling at peace and slowly went up the stairs. Arriving at her parents’ home, she knocked on the door a few times, but nobody answered the door, which made her feel strange. Based on her knowledge, her parents should be resting at home by now. But she didn’t have her phone right now, so she had no choice but to continue knocking on the door.
“You should stop knocking already, young lady. There isn’t anybody inside the house anymore. They have moved out.” The neighbor next door was probably woken up by the noise she made and opened the door to remind her.
“Moved out?! Why did they suddenly move out?” Mu Yu was shocked as her mother did not say anything about moving away when they were on the phone yesterday.
“I’m not so sure myself. When I was out for grocery shopping, I saw four or five men helping them pack up. When I came back they had already left.”
Mu Yu’s heart sank. “Four or five men? What kind of men?”
“They were all very tall and big and were wearing black suits with sunglasses. I thought they were gangsters when I first saw them.”
What, gangsters? Mu Yu knew better. From what they were wearing, they were obviously Qin Jinhuan’s underlings!
Damn!
Did Qin Jinhuan directed his fury toward her parents because of what she did?!
The world went black before her eyes, and her legs buckled under her.
