Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Meanwhile, Mu Tangxue was clearly not having a good time. Now, her conflicts with Papa Mu had slowly resolved. They covered each other’s crime regarding the fire accident. However, Papa Mu was facing a great crisis now. He was going to be fired soon.

That night, Papa Mu made endless calls in the living room. Mu Tangxue hid by the stairs. She did not dare to appear in front of Papa Mu because she was afraid that he might vent his anger on her.

Why? Why did she gain nothing after she tried her best to please her father? She had lost her mother. She was gradually losing everything else.

If her father lost his post as the CEO of Mu Group, what was left of the Mu family?

If she knew earlier, she would surely…

So, all she could do now was try her best to please Grandpa Mu. It was much better if she stayed by Grandpa Mu’s side when compared to her father. However, she had her own worries too. If the incident regarding her grandma was revealed, then she would become Grandpa Mu’s enemy just like Mu Qiqi.

Meanwhile, Mu Qiqi was enjoying her time under the sponsorship of the rich French guy. Su Zipei became stronger too. They even plotted schemes to take revenge for her mother.

Suddenly, Mu Tangxue felt lost and helpless. Where did her future lie now?

After much consideration, she stole a chance to kneel in front of Grandpa Mu after her father went to work.

“What are you doing?” Grandpa Mu asked Mu Tangxue.

“Grandpa, you do know that my dad likes to use violence against my sister, me and even my mother. If my dad lost his job today, could you please protect me? I don’t want to get beaten up.”

Grandpa Mu took a deep breath when he heard her. His face darkened. “Bastard! He’s really good at abusing his own family.”

“Grandpa…”

“That’s enough. Get up now. I will definitely protect you.” Grandpa Mu made her a promise. “I know it’s difficult for you after having to go through all those challenges in our family.”

Difficult?

Mu Tangxue was filled with a deep grief after Mama Mu passed away because she gained nothing from it. When did she feel that it was difficult?

Mama Mu treated her nicely since young. But, how about Qiqi?

After Mama Mu passed away, Mu Qiqi knew very well what she was going to do. She wanted to take revenge for her mother. She wanted to find the perpetrator even though Mama Mu was never nice to her.

Mu Tangxue was relieved after getting her grandpa’s promise. Deep inside her heart, she blamed her elder sister for how their family had turned out.

If Mu Qiqi lived her life quietly after being kicked out, surely the Mu family would have never come to this pathetic state.

It was not weird that Mu Tangxue had such thoughts. She was Papa Mu’s daughter, after all.

Like father, like daughter.

At that moment, at Mu Group, the board meeting was about to begin.

Papa Mu reached Mu Group calmly just like always. He dealt with his daily routine and businesses just like nothing had happened.

It was half past eight in the morning. Almost half of the stakeholders had reached Mu Group’s meeting room. The secretary was worried about her own future when she saw Papa Mu dealing with his daily affairs calmly.

“CEO Mu…”

“Why? Why the sad face? I’m not fired yet,” Papa Mu said to his secretary coldly.

“CEO Mu, the chairman is here in the meeting room.”

“Is that incident still popular online?” Papa Mu did not want to bother about the things happening in the meeting room. He just wanted to know more about the incident and whether the public was still discussing it vigorously online.

“Yes, it’s still there, top of the list,” the secretary replied to Papa Mu timidly. “The PR department has taken the necessary actions. They even reported to the police but its influence is just too large…”

“I know. You’re excused…”

Papa Mu appeared calm. He asked his secretary to leave instantly.

The secretary nodded her head. She then turned and left. It was suppressing for her now even if she stayed by Papa Mu’s side for more than a second.

Papa Mu lowered his head and continued his work after the secretary left.

He contacted numerous stakeholders the previous night. Although he sacrificed a lot, he knew for sure that more than half of the stakeholders were on his side. So, it was still too early for him to step down from his post.

However, he never thought that Su Zipei and Mu Qiqi would appear at the entrance of Mu Group’s office at 8.40 a.m.

Su Zipei was stopped by the receptionist just like last time.

“I’m sorry, Madam Su. Do you have an appointment? If not, your admission is not allowed.”

Su Zipei was prohibited from entering Mu Group’s office the last time because she was so infuriated that she forgot she was one of the stakeholders of the group. Now, she would not be fooled again.

Mu Qiqi would not allow it too.

“Aren’t you aware that my aunt is one of the stakeholders of Mu Group? Just imagine how you’ll lose your job when your CEO is fired.”

The receptionist knew who Mu Qiqi was but she was unaware that Su Zipei owned ten percent of Mu Group’s shares. She was indeed a powerful stakeholder.

The receptionist quickly apologized to them after hearing what Mu Qiqi said. “I’m sorry, young lady. I’m so sorry, Madam Su. I’ll lead you upstairs now.”

“As a receptionist, you have your own duties. Don’t forget about them and look down on others. If you do, you won’t even be aware of your mistakes when you’re fired.”

The receptionist was frightened since she had been unfriendly toward Su Zipei that day.

She was not aware of what was happening with Mu Group’s leadership. How could she have known that she was annoying one of the stakeholders of Mu Group?

Soon, they reached the highest floor of Mu Group’s building. Papa Mu stepped out from his office as they were stepping out of the lift.

Papa Mu sneered at them when he saw them. ‘Just the two of you?’

Both Su Zipei and Mu Qiqi did not retreat. But, only the stakeholders were allowed to enter the meeting room, so Mu Qiqi said to Su Zipei, “I’ll wait for you outside. If anything gets out of hand there, remember to tell me, Aunt. I’ll report to the police!”

“Don’t worry. That bastard is not as brave as that since there are a lot of stakeholders,” Su Zipei raised her voice so that Papa Mu could hear what she was saying.

“Aunt, try your best.”

“I’ll definitely do my best for your mom,” Su Zipei replied resolutely. That morning, Sheng Xiao had predicted the kinds of situations that would unfold during the board meeting. He even taught Su Zipei what to do to tackle each and every issue.

So, it was time to show the others what that cunning bastard would do just to alter his fate. Just how far would he go to avoid being fired?
