Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

But Shen Ruoyi was thinking the other way around. She must get close to Mu Qiqi because she had some connection with the Sheng family.

So, no matter how much her mother objected to it, she still bought quite a few interesting things for Mu Qiqi from some high-end stores in France. She wanted to give them as first meeting gifts.

…

Mu Qiqi knew there was a cousin coming home, so she asked Sheng Xiao for her information.

But Sheng Xiao gave a short answer. “I don’t know her.”

Shen Ruoyi had a very high academic qualification. She was a talented, polite, and considerate lady. She was not like her mother at all. But she was just being good and there was nothing special about her.

Moreover, apart from Mu Qiqi, Sheng Xiao did not pay much attention to the other girls in the Shen family. He interacted more with the males.

When Mu Qiqi heard his answer, she nodded. “Alright then, I shall find out myself.”

“I just hope that she is different from Third Aunt like how the other people say.”

When Shen Ruoyi reached home, it was already nighttime in Jianchuan. And the first thing she did was to see her grandfather. “Grandpa, I am back.”

Seeing his granddaughter coming home, Grandpa Shen was happy. “You are getting prettier.”

“Thanks, Grandpa. It has been so long since I haven’t seen you.” Third Aunt reached out her hands and hugged her daughter.

Shen Ruoyi greeted the family members one by one. But she didn’t see Mu Qiqi. “Don’t we have a new family member?”

“She was still on the way here,” said Grandpa Shen.

But Third Aunt’s face was gloomy. She did not like her daughter to have too much interaction with Mu Qiqi. So, she whispered into Shen Ruoyi’s ear. “Didn’t I tell you not to get close with her?”

Why would Shen Ruoyi listen to her mother?

After a while, she started chatting with Shen Lin.

Soon, Mu Qiqi walked through the door into Shen Mansion. Today, she was expecting to see a graceful and knowledgeable lady. She heard from other people that Shen Ruoyi was very talented.

As soon as she entered the living room, she saw a tall lady, smiling at her with confidence. She gave Mu Qiqi a good first impression.

She was slim and tall. She had an oval face and very long hair. Dressed in Western-style clothing, she certainly had good taste.

As soon as Shen Ruoyi saw Mu Qiqi, she immediately gave her the presents. “It is for you. Welcome to the family.”

“Ruoyi!” Third Aunt shouted impatiently.

Mu Qiqi looked at the box. It was a branded watch. Immediately, she said, “This is too expensive.”

“We are sisters. You do not have to feel burdened about it.”

Shen Ruoyi seemed to be sporting. She was confident and generous, just like how a lady of the Shen family should be. No wonder Third Aunt was jealous when she saw Grandpa Shen love Mu Qiqi so much. She in fact had an outstanding daughter. Grandpa Shen should pay more attention to her.

“Let’s dig in. We can chat while having dinner.”

Shen Ruoyi grabbed Mu Qiqi’s hand and brought her to the dining table. She coincidentally saw the tattoo on Mu Qiqi’s ear. She gasped. “This is Uncle Shen’s English name, right?”

“You know about it?” Mu Qiqi was surprised. Because Xiaoxiao told her that not many people knew his English name.

“I saw him signing some documents with this name before. Why did you tattoo the name or your ear?”

Fortunately, Mu Qiqi had given an explanation about the tattoo before. If not, she would not be able to hide her secret anymore.

“That is the name of her savior,” said Grandpa Shen. “Sheng Xiao is worth being her idol.”

“This must be fate!” Shen Ruoyi smiled and toasted with Mu Qiqi. “This is the first time we’re meeting. I hope we can get along.”

Mu Qiqi did not know why, but she had an eerie feeling about Shen Ruoyi.

A woman’s instincts are very accurate sometimes.

So, even when Shen Ruoyi was being very friendly, Mu Qiqi still did not let her guard down. She was not her old self anymore, an innocent girl who judged a person by face.

So, although she seemed to be getting along with her, she was still doubtful about her cousin.

“Ruoyi, Grandpa Lin is going to celebrate his seventieth birthday, but your grandfather does not plan to bring you along!” Third Aunt took her chance. “It seems like you two get along quite well. Why not you two go together so that you can take care of each other.”

“You are a clever and considerate girl. If Qiqi does something wrong, you can help her.”

“Stop comparing.” Huang Yu smirked. “Qiqi is a top student in science. Have you forgotten how many marks she scored to get into Sheng Ting University?”

“Because Qiqi is a science student, she does not have a high EQ. That is why I should let Ruoyi help her. This is all for the Shen family.”

“Qiqi’s EQ is high enough. She will not have problems interacting with people.” Huang Yu refuted.

“Alright, no need to fuss over such a small matter. Ruoyi will come along.” Grandpa Shen decided on the spot. Since Ruoyi was back, it was only polite for her to meet the elders. But he didn’t think that Mu Qiqi would need to be taken care of.

Because he knew his girl was smart and sly like a fox.

“That’s better.” At last, Third Aunt was satisfied.

“The adults are always so dull.” Shen Ruoyi acted indifferently.

Mu Qiqi was still unable to guess which side Shen Ruoyi was taking. But she gave her a feeling that she was not the person that she looked like.

So, after a while, Mu Qiqi used her aunt as an excuse to leave Shen Mansion. She went straight back to the villa.

When she saw Sheng Xiao, she lay on his lap. “Shen Ruoyi knows this is your English name.” She started the interrogation.

Sheng Xiao looked at her angry face and pointed to the tattoo on his collarbone. “Then does she know that this is your name?”

“Xiaoxiao, let me tell you. I don’t like Shen Ruoyi. I don’t know why but I keep having a feeling that she has a purpose in getting close with me. You see, she gave me these on our first meeting. Unlike the other Shens, they were annoyed when they knew about my existence.”

“If you think so, then you can just give her something with the same value to consider that you have returned the presents to her. Then you will not feel that you owe her.

“Why would my little one be deprived of these things?”

Mu Qiqi agreed with him. “The relationships in a powerful family are so complicated.”

“You grew up in the Mu family. You should be familiar with these, shouldn’t you?” Sheng Xiao asked while caressing her.

“I don’t like to flattering people. I do not like these complicated relationships.” Mu Qiqi sighed in Sheng Xiao’s arms. “I just hope that Shen Ruoyi will treat me nicely and not play any tricks on me during the birthday party.”
