Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 125 Mu Yaoqian's Hatred

As the saying goes, the long arm of the law will eventually catch up with you. After a thorough investigation, the police finally confirmed, based on CCTV footage near the hospital and through various evidence collection methods, that Wang Yuzhu was indeed the male protagonist in the online toilet incident. Furthermore, a nurse testified that Chi Moqing did indeed go to borrow a wheelchair during that period.

Meanwhile, the nurse who had been yelled at by Cai Qingqing earlier testified that Chi Moqing was pushing a wheelchair, his clothes were neat, and his attitude towards Cai Qingqing was polite but distant, showing no signs of what had happened the previous night. Based on witness testimonies and physical evidence, and having previously determined that the toilet door incident had been photoshopped, the police quickly reached a conclusion on the matter.

Regarding the other high-profile murder case, based on Cai Qingqing's testimony, the police repeatedly demanded that she hand over evidence of Chi Moqing's tax evasion and bribery of state officials, but Cai Qingqing clearly could not produce any. Moreover, her statements to the police were contradictory, and her demeanor was evasive.

Based on clues and existing witness testimonies and physical evidence, the police can almost conclude that the murder is related to Cai Qingqing, but more sufficient evidence is needed to indict her.

In the afternoon, they went to the military compound, had lunch, and then Yan Zuozuo fell asleep. Chi's father and Chi Moqing discussed the murder case in the study. Chi Moqing gave a brief account of the situation, and Chi's father couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "If it really was that girl Cai Qingqing who went so far as to kill Feng Jiao to frame you, that's truly depraved."

When Mrs. Chi brought in tea, she couldn't help but sigh upon hearing their words. "They were your parents who gave you life, how could you do that? Now the Cai family is practically wiped out. It's such a pity that such a good family has turned out like this." She poured water for the father and son, unable to comprehend Cai Qingqing's actions.

Chi Moqing glanced at his mother, paused, and said, "I haven't told Zuo Zuo about the murder case, so as not to worry her. It's not too late to let her know when the investigation is complete."

Mrs. Chi nodded, also agreeing that it was best not to tell her. She was pregnant, and it wouldn't be good for her to be frightened. Soon, she left, leaving the study to the father and son.

When his father asked him about the company, Chi Moqing didn't hide anything. "The stock is still falling and may even hit a new low, but I've already had someone secretly buy up shares. This is good, though; a crisis can be an opportunity. I was just about to clean up a bunch of parasites."

Mr. Chi glanced at him. He had always known that Chi Moqing was a shrewd businessman, so he wasn't too worried. In other words, even if the Chi family really went bankrupt, he believed that his son would achieve something else.

"That's good. I believe you can handle it." Chi's father patted his shoulder. "Consider this a lesson. Be more careful in your dealings with others in the future, and don't let anyone take advantage of you. You're a man, and you have to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of your wife, children, and elderly parents. Even if the Chi family is beyond saving, you can't give up. You should strive to improve yourself, understand?"

Chi Moqing nodded: "I know what to do."

After finishing their business, Chi's father asked him about Chi Ran, "This girl is always with that boy Yaoyuan one minute and dating Zhitu the next. What is she doing all day long?"

Chi Moqing smiled and said, "It's a matter of feelings that no one else can interfere with. I think it's best to let Xiao Ran decide for herself."

"This girl is getting more and more out of control. People outside keep asking me if she has a boyfriend, and I don't know how to answer them anymore," Mr. Chi shook his head, quite helplessly.

Chi Moqing smiled but remained silent. After chatting with Chi's father for a while, he went to the room to check on Yan Zuozuo. She had already opened her eyes and was sitting on the bed in a daze, as if she was not fully awake yet.

Chi Moqing walked over and touched her face tenderly. "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" As she progressed into the later stages of her pregnancy, her sleep quality deteriorated, and she frequently experienced leg swelling and cramps, which made Chi Moqing even more worried.

When Yan Zuozuo saw him, she snuggled into his arms affectionately, shook her head and smiled, "I can't sleep."

Chi Moqing checked the time; it was almost lunchtime. So he said, "Let's go for a walk in the yard and eat more later."

Yan Zuozuo nodded and followed him downstairs. Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the living room, they saw Chi Ran return in a rage. No one knew who had offended her, but she rushed to the bedroom as if she hadn't seen them at all.

"What's wrong?" Yan Zuozuo looked at Chi Moqing in confusion. Chi Moqing shook his head, but before he could speak, Lu Zhitu, who was following closely behind Chi Ran, also came in. Unlike Chi Ran's anger, Lu Zhitu had a big smile on his face. Upon seeing them, he immediately ran over like a goofball, grabbed Chi Moqing's arm tightly, and said excitedly, "Where are Mom and Dad? I want to propose marriage!"

Yan Zuozuo almost fell, but luckily Chi Moqing caught her. However, Chi Moqing was also surprised and couldn't help but twitch his lips. This was too fast! Especially looking at Chi Ran's appearance, she didn't seem to be overwhelmed by the joy of the engagement at all.

Before Chi Moqing could answer, Lu Zhitu completely lost his composure and ran inside excitedly, shouting as he ran, "Mom and Dad, I'm getting married!"

"So that's how you call her?" Yan Zuozuo looked at Chi Moqing with amusement. Chi Moqing smiled and said, "Finally, we can get rid of Xiao Ran."

Yan Zuozuo glared at him, and was about to mutter a few words when her phone rang. It was her mother calling.

"Mom, what's wrong?" she asked.

"Zuo Zuo, did you ask Mo Qing about the family dinner that Mom mentioned last time? When would you have time?"

Yan Zuozuo glanced at Chi Moqing, then patted her head in annoyance. She had actually forgotten. She quickly said, "Mom, wait a minute, I'll ask him right away."

Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow: "What's going on?"

"Mom means we should have a meal with Uncle Mu's family. She's asking when you'd be available."

Chi Moqing paused for a moment, then said, "Let's do it tonight."

"Okay, I'll tell Mom."

Although they had met before, this was the first time the family had a proper meal together, so Yan Zuozuo and Chi Moqing prepared gifts for dinner.

Mu Tianyang laughed and said, "Having a meal together is fine, why prepare a gift?"

"It's nothing valuable, I hope Uncle Mu won't find it offensive," Yan Zuozuo said.

"We're all family, no need to be so formal." Mu Tianyang quickly invited them to sit down, glanced at the time and said, "Yao Qian should be here soon too. That child is really something, she's late today."

Yan's mother smiled and said, "She's busy with work, so please don't say anything to her later."

“You’re just too indulgent with her,” Mu Tianyang said, calling over the waiter to order. “We don’t need to wait for her, let’s order first.”

Yan Zuozuo paused for a moment and said, "Let's wait a little longer, after all, it's time for the family to reunite."

Mu Tianyang sighed, "Zuo Zuo is still the most polite and understanding. My child..." He sighed heavily as he spoke.

Fifteen minutes later, Mu Yaoqian finally appeared. In fact, she didn't want to come, and she didn't want to see Yan Zuozuo and her daughter, but unfortunately, Mu Tianyang's company shares had not yet been transferred to her, so she could only endure it for the time being.

Of course, she could embarrass Yan Zuozuo and her mother. After all, Mu Tianyang was still her father and wouldn't do anything to her. But the problem lay with Chi Moqing, and she dared not confront him head-on, so she could only deal with him for now.

She greeted them expressionlessly, without even a proper address. Mu Tianyang glanced at her and said, "Call her Auntie!"

Mu Yaoqian was naturally unwilling. She bit her lip and finally said reluctantly, "Auntie."

Yan's mother greeted her with a smile. She glanced at Yan Zuozuo and then at Mu Yaoqian. The two had been colleagues before, but there was no joy in their reunion. Could it be that they didn't get along?

Mu Tianyang, seemingly unaware of the situation, chuckled and said, "You two knew each other before, that's quite a coincidence. Zuo Zuo is a promising young woman; I heard her designs sell very well. Unlike Yao Qian, who doesn't have any outstanding talent and doesn't work hard at all."

Mu Yaoqian's expression hardened. Back when she was at Fan Hua Design, she had already been overshadowed by Yan Zuozuo, which had already made her quite resentful. She never expected that she would end up becoming sisters with her, and even her father said so. She was immediately unhappy.

Seeing her displeased expression, Yan's mother quickly said, "Yao Qian is already very capable. She manages the company very well and has helped you a lot. Unlike Zuo Zuo, who can only draw. If you let her manage the company, she'll ruin it."

Mu Tianyang laughed heartily: "That's because Zuo Zuo is lucky, she has Mo Qing protecting her."

Everyone laughed, but Mu Yaoqian gritted her teeth in hatred. Those mother and daughter had ruined her family, yet they were both loved and protected by men in the end. But looking at them, her mother was dead, and all she had by her side was the useless Cui Guangyuan, who could do nothing but cook and clean all day long—utterly incompetent!

Whether it was her mother's death or her dissatisfaction with Cui Guangyuan, Mu Yaoqian felt unbalanced and hated Yan Zuozuo and her daughter even more.

Yan Zuozuo, unaware of Mu Yaoqian's thoughts, asked with a smile, "Why didn't you bring Cui Guangyuan along?"

Mu Yaoqian stiffened. The reason she was with Cui Guangyuan was only because Cui Guangyuan had become her scapegoat, and she had no choice but to agree.

The design director, knowing of her discord with Yan Zuozuo, originally intended to leak Yan Zuozuo's design drafts to her. However, she worried that Mu Tianyang would find out and refuse to hand over the company to her. Therefore, she approached Cui Guangyuan and asked him to do it. Knowing that Cui Guangyuan had a crush on her, she promised him that if he didn't betray her, she would be his girlfriend.

Now, thinking about it makes her grit her teeth in hatred. Every time she wanted to break up with Cui Guangyuan, he would use this incident to threaten her. Although he loved and doted on her as always, she didn't love him. Because of this incident, she would be controlled by Cui Guangyuan for the rest of her life, and her happiness was completely ruined.

However, she never felt that she was wrong, but only felt that everything she was in was caused by Yan Zuozuo and her daughter, which made her more determined to deal with them.

"Who is Cui Guangyuan?" Mu Tianyang frowned and looked at Mu Yaoqian. "You have a boyfriend?"

Yan Zuozuo stiffened, glancing at Chi Moqing with annoyance. She truly had no idea Mu Tianyang was still being kept in the dark. Chi Moqing smiled at her, giving her a reassuring look.

Mu Yaoqian quickly said, "We haven't officially started dating yet, and I don't think he's right for me."

"How old are you? You're still so picky. Look at Zuo Zuo, she's already married and has kids, and you're still complaining about this and that. I really don't know what kind of person you're looking for," Mu Tianyang rebuked coldly.

Mu Yaoqian got angry too: "You can't just tell me to find anyone, can you? This is my life's happiness, and I don't want to end up like my mother."

"What did you say!" Mu Tianyang slammed his hand on the table, his eyes flashing with anger.

Mu Yaoqian shrank back, actually quite afraid of Mu Tianyang. She stubbornly pursed her lips, remaining silent. This debt was once again being placed on Yan Zuozuo and her mother's shoulders.

Seeing this, Yan's mother quickly said, "The child didn't mean it. Why are you so angry? Sit down."

Mu Tianyang glared angrily at Mu Yaoqian, his chest heaving with rage.

Yan Zuozuo squeezed Chi Moqing's hand. She had always felt that Mu Yaoqian was hostile towards her and her mother, and now it was obvious. Could it be that Mu Yaoqian was influenced by He Cangyuan and thought that her mother's death was because of her mother? If that were the case, could her mother and Mu Tianyang still be happy?
