My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 327

Chapter 327 A Love Rival!

An anxious Mu Yu quickly gave Rong Jian a call to inquire about it.

“So far, we haven’t gotten anything about Qian Xiaoyu’s biological parents, but we did find out where Qian Fenggen’s old home is, so we’re heading there to see if there are any clues about Qian Xiaoyu,” answered Rong Jian.

“I see, and here I thought something big happened seeing how both you and Madam Feng rushed over there.” After finishing her sentence, Mu Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

With an awkward guffaw, Rong Jian replied, “I’m rather slow when it comes to processing problems, so I could use some help. Not only that, Fan and the others already have their plates full. Since the forensic department had nothing much to do, I requested Director Gu to let Rubing come with me.”

Even though Mu Yu had seen through his intentions, she did not expose him. Instead, she silently laughed at him before she continued to ask, “Are you thinking that Qian Fenggen fostered Qian Xiaoyu from his old home?”

“Yes, but that’s only my conjecture, so we’re heading there to see if we hit the bullseye. Okay, I’m already here. Talk to you soon.”

“All right.” Mu Yu swiftly ended the call. After resting and daydreaming for a while, she got up and changed into her clothes.

Mu Yu then finished her breakfast before Huang Bo sent her to the bureau. Since she had missed the time to clock in, she went straight to the forensic lab.

“She’s here, Auntie!”

All of a sudden, an unfamiliar, feminine voice came from the lab. Surprised by the voice, Mu Yu instinctively raised her head, only to see a fashionable, slim woman striking her with a hostile look. Mu Yu was weirded out by this, and she quickly tried to figure out who this lady was.

“Mu Yu?”

“Madam Rong?”

When she noticed Rong Jian’s mother standing behind the lady, Mu Yu instantly figured out who the younger lady was. Immediately, she was reminded of Rong Jian and Feng Rubing’s early journey to Huacheng, which gave her an idea as to why the two women would visit the forensic lab. With that, she felt reluctant to talk to them.

“Where’s Doctor Feng?” As she glanced at the door, Li Shiyi spoke in a fairly polite tone.

“I have no idea since I just arrived moments ago. She could be in the experiment lab,” answered Mu Yu with a confused expression.

“I’ve already checked the lab, and she isn’t there.”

“Is that so? In that case, I haven’t got a clue. Perhaps she’s on leave today,” replied Mu Yu as she placed her backpack down. Out of courtesy, she poured a cup of water for each of the visitors.

“Thanks.” In spite of those words, Li Shiyi showed no intention to grab the paper cup, and the lady beside her didn’t even care to bat an eyelid.

Despite feeling somewhat awkward, Mu Yu didn’t give it too much thought. Instead, she chuckled as she put the cup on the table.

The other woman appeared visibly irritated, and she started bellowing, “Are all forensic doctors this unprofessional? You guys come to work whenever you feel like it and arrive anytime you wish!”

Mu Yu was upset upon hearing those words, yet she found it a hassle to argue with the lady. Hence, she simply disregarded her as she minded her own business and turned on the computer.

As the lady was about to continue, Li Shiyi stopped her. “Let’s go, Sihan. Feng Rubing’s not here anyway.”

“No, I’ve got to see her today!” Meng Sihan was unwilling to leave.

“In that case, let me ask your uncle what’s going on.”

“I need to use the bathroom, Auntie, so why don’t you go ahead. I’ll wait for you here.”

“Sure. Well then, I shall take my leave.” As soon as she finished her sentence, Li Shiyi started walking out of the lab.

Meanwhile, Mu Yu grinned as she stood up and bid her farewell. “Goodbye, Madam Rong.”

After all, the woman was Rong Jian and Rong Ying’s mother, so she deserved Mu Yu’s respect.

When Li Shiyi was gone, Meng Sihan interrogated Mu Yu instead of going to the bathroom by saying, “Hey, you there. What’s Feng Rubing’s number?”

On the other hand, Mu Yu bit her lips subtly and pretended as if she didn’t hear the woman. Then, she proceeded to sit down.

“Are you dumb? I’m talking to you!” Meng Sihan tapped on Mu Yu’s desk furiously and repeated, “What’s Feng Rubing’s number?”

Mu Yu leered at her and said coldly, “I don’t know.”

“How could you not know? You literally share an office with her! Don’t try to lie to me!”

“I do know her number.” Mu Yu lay against her chair and casually added, “I don’t plan on telling you, though.”

“You! How dare you talk to me in that manner!” Meng Sihan slammed on the table, enraged. “Do you know who Director Gu is to me?”

Mu Yu was annoyed by this, and she turned her face back to her monitor as she apathetically responded, “Sorry, I’m not interested to know.”

“He’s my uncle! My biological uncle!”

Mu Yu let out a yawn and replied, “Ah, so he’s your uncle. With how stirred up you look, I thought he was your dad for a second.”

“You!” At once, Meng Sihan was infuriated and started to reprimand her, “How dare you, a lowly forensic doctor, speak to me in that tone? I’ll give my uncle a call and you’ll be escorted out of the premises in seconds! You’d better believe it!”

“Do you want your uncle to fire me? Do you know who my husband is?” Mu Yu smirked lightly. As she imitated Meng Sihan’s intonation, she then countered, “I’ll give my husband a call and you’ll be escorted out of the premises in seconds! You’d better believe it!”

“Tsk!”

As if she was listening to a joke, Meng Sihan rolled her eyes at Mu Yu before giving her a condescending stare while stating, “I wonder how mighty of a man he is to have married a petty forensic doctor like you.”

Upon acknowledging the message in her stare, Mu Yu remained unaffected as she took a sip of tea before she slowly replied, “Being a forensic doctor is only one of my identities, another being Qin Jinhuan’s wife. I’m sure you know Qin Jinhuan of the Qing Tian Group, don’t you?”

She deliberately emphasized the enunciation of Qin Jinhuan’s name.

Meanwhile, Meng Sihan was shocked to her bones as she said, “Are you really the young mistress of the Qin Family?”

“Congratulations, you got it right! I’m the one and only young mistress of the Qin Family. Well, you can go and ask your beloved uncle if you don’t buy it.”

After peering at Mu Yu for a while, Meng Sihan finally believed her words. As though she felt a smack to her face, she drastically lowered her voice and tactfully apologized, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me if I’ve offended you.”

However, Mu Yu waved a hand and replied, “I’m sorry. I’ve never forgiven anyone who’s offended me.”

Instantly, Meng Sihan revealed a hideous expression and even started to stutter as she spoke. Although the day wasn’t very hot, drops of sweat could be seen flowing down her forehead.

When Mu Yu saw the woman in such a dumbfounded state, she then warned lightly, “Madam Feng and Chief Rong truly love each other, and no force in the world could move them. If someone were to ludicrously butt into their relationship, they’re a bona fide fool. But I trust you’re a smart lady, Miss Sihan, so you won’t be so ignorant to do such shameless things, will you?”

Mu Yu had only heard Li Shiyi addressing the lady as ‘Sihan’, so she politely referred to her as ‘Miss Sihan’ since she had no idea what her full name was.

Meng Sihan, who was perturbed by Mu Yu’s identity, thoroughly eliminated her anxiety when she heard the last sentence. Although she didn’t utter a word, the panic in her eyes was quickly substituted by a firm determination, as if she wouldn’t rest until Rong Jian belonged to her. Upon seeing the resolution in her eyes, Mu Yu, who had been trying to advise her, grew concerned. When Meng Sihan turned around toward the lab’s exit, Mu Yu sprung up from her seat and said loudly, “Feng Rubing is my mentor. Not only did she teach me everything I know at work, she truly cares about how I live my life. For that, my husband has utmost respect for her, and he hopes that she’ll stay with Chief Rong forever.”

Heeding the implication in those words, Meng Sihan remained silent as she slowly stepped away. Only when Mu Yu finally finished talking did she accelerate her pace and walk out of the forensic lab.

Mu Yu looked helplessly at the lab that contained only her and sighed within.

Normally, she wouldn’t have mindlessly revealed her identity as the Qin Family’s young mistress. However, with how Meng Sihan was overstepping her boundary with her boastfulness, she eventually lost her patience. Nonetheless, she was surprised by how influential her position was as the young mistress of the Qin Family, and she realized it was the best tactic against people like Meng Sihan who would flaunt their statuses.

Since Feng Rubing wasn’t around, she decided to set up a preemptive against Meng Sihan for her, hoping that Meng Sihan would learn her lesson and no longer interfere in Rong Jian’s and Feng Rubing’s relationship.

Madam Feng, Chief Rong, running away is never the solution. This is all I can help you with. May God bless you and your path to eternal love.

Suddenly, as the picture of Li Shiyi and Meng Sihan’s close interaction flashed in her mind, she immediately felt worried about Feng Rubing—the woman always hid away from conflicts and confrontations, so she silently prayed for her.

As she was lost in her thoughts, her phone suddenly rang with a call from Qin Jinhuan. She quickly answered the call.

“They’re back,” Qin Jinhuan stated with a dull voice.

“Who’s back?” As soon as she blurted out the question, Mu Yu instantly realized who he was referring to. “They’re back already? So soon?”

“Yeah. They must have been preparing to return to An City, and Xi’s phone call was their cue.”

“It seems like they were very confident in manipulating Xi!”

“It’s only because Xi has an innate fear toward them, and there’s no way she could resist their schemes.”

At once, Mu Yu grew nervous. “Should I have not told you to let them back? It feels like I’m causing Xi harm.”

“Well, since they are so determined to return, they’ll rack their brains trying to force Xi to convince me. You know how Xi is. Instead of being defensive with them and their tricks, we could just pretend to ignore them while keeping a close eye on them. An City belongs to me, so even if my sick grandpa gives in to his yearning for them, there’s no way he could defend them. And since they’re no idiots, I’m sure they would drop their foolish intentions if they want to continue living such comfortable lives here.”

“Either way, do not drop your guard with them. Make sure you’re also protecting yourself while you protect Xi.”

Upon hearing that, Qin Jinhuan chuckled. “Your dear husband isn’t that incompetent, okay?”

“I’ve never had that idea! On the contrary, I see him as the pinnacle of all lives!” Quickly, Mu Yu switched to a strict tone and said, “Don’t get cocky with these compliments, though! Don’t overestimate yourself!”

“Well, it’s not every day I get to receive such compliments from my wife. I deserve to feel proud of myself, don’t you think so?”

“I must have been stingy with my praises all this while. I’ll reward you more next time.”

“Thank you very much, Darling!” Although they were only talking through the phone, she could feel his thrill. “Come up with a good compliment. Maybe you can praise me when we get hot tonight.”

“Gross.” When she realized that she was being made fun of, Mu Yu let out a satirical laugh and quickly went off on a tangent. “How is the thing with Xinyue Estates coming along?”

“We’re wrapping it up. Okay, I have a meeting to attend. I’ll pick you up after work in the evening.”

“Okay.”

“Love you.”

“Love you too.”

Mu Yu hung up the call as she smiled sweetly. As the displeasure caused by Meng Sihan earlier dispersed, she started humming a tune and commenced with her work.

In a flash, it was already five in the evening. Since she was done with work, Mu Yu started to clean up the office. Very soon, she got a call from Qin Jinhuan notifying that he was en route to fetch her. She quickly tidied up the lab before she carried her backpack and headed to the entrance to wait for her husband.

Right when she walked out of the building, Rong Jian phoned her. For some reason, the chief sounded rather enlivened. “Yu, I’ve found Qian Xiaoyu’s biological parents!”

“Really? That’s great!” Mu Yu was delighted to hear that. “Then—”

Since he knew what she was about to ask, Rong Jian interrupted Mu Yu before she could say anything else and continued, “We’ve also found clues about the fake Qian Dacheng!”
