Chapter 11: Girlfriend (I)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bai Wei felt sorry for Mu Zi, who just got discharged from the hospital, so she asked her to take an afternoon nap once they had returned to the small bungalow.
Mu Zi laid on her soft pink bed but was not sleepy at all.
The intimate scene between Mu Zening and Qiao Jingjia appeared in her mind, thus she could not help but feel restless.
She decided to sit up to clear her mind.
—Qiao Jingjia was an accident.
Men were the majority at the prosecutor’s office. Since Qiao Jingjia had been one of Su Zi’s assistants and was a female, Su Zi was more inclined to let her handle some of her private matters. At times she had asked her to pick up documents that she left at home or to pack her luggage when she needed to investigate a case abroad.
Qiao Jingjia had plenty of opportunities to approach Mu Zening.
Mu Zi just did not expect them to be this “close”, so much so that the others from the Mu family turned a blind eye to their intimacy as if they were already used to it!
‘So… Qiao Jingjia and Mu Zening were already known as a pair to the Mu family, but was I too focused on my cases that I became clueless?!’
Mu Zi suddenly felt that she did not die unjustly at all…
Even the saying that people involved could not see the whole situation could not even hide her stupidity.
At the same time…
She was also confused.
When she used to return home after an exhausting day, Mu Zening had shown his concern and cared for her.
Apart from that, everyone in the Mu family had been proud of her when she announced that she was going to be promoted to a senior prosecutor.
Were all those fake?
What exactly did they treat her as?! Nobody told her about Qiao Jingjia! —Everyone was keeping it from her!
When Mu Zi thought of her sufferings, the frustration of being unable to vent almost made her suffocate!
She realized that she was stuck at a dead-end, and was beginning to be tangled between lies and deceits.
It was not beneficial for her. Other than feeling more terrible than she already was, she was not going to get any help.
Mu Zi looked at the flowers and trees in the garden through her window.
The leaves were fresh and green, while the flowers were in brilliant purples and reds. Plants somehow had the magical power to calm a person down.
The dazzling sunlight showered the light green curtain tassels a warm light and they looked lovely.
Mu Zi felt that Bai Wei had great taste. She fancied every detail in the room and was glad that the original Mu Zi did not ruin her room.
After sitting by the window for some time, she finally composed herself.
The situation became clearer to her…
Mu Zening seemed to be unaware that she was murdered.
Qiao Jingjia was rather interesting because she repeatedly said that Su Zi committed suicide, and also brought up the insurance.
Su Zi was indeed insured for the maximum amount of accidental death insurance.
A prosecutor often faced criminals and thugs. Due to the unique nature of her work, she insured herself long ago so that her grandmother would not be left unsupported.
However, Mu Zening became the benefactor of her insurance after her grandmother had died.
Qiao Jingjia indirectly said that Su Zi purposely planned the “accident” of her falling into the river to save Mu Group, so that the insurance from committing suicide could help Mu Zening through the crisis.
‘Heh…
‘Am I that great?
‘It’s ironic that Mu Zening believed the far-fetched reason!
‘Who knows? Perhaps he had also thought about using my insurance, and my death was the perfect time for him to push the boat along…’
Mu Zi was making dark speculations.
Bam, bam, bam—
Knocks were heard on her door as Bai Wei called her from outside, “Zizi, can I come in?”
Mu Zi put her messy thoughts aside, then went to open the door.
Bai Wei said with a smile, “Your brother’s bringing his girlfriend home for dinner, so I’m going to buy some ingredients now. Do you have anything you’d like to eat?”
It was such a rare occasion because Mu Rongcheng rarely ate with Bai Wei at home, let alone bringing a girlfriend home.
Mu Zi was somewhat absent-minded, so she replied casually, “I’m fine with anything.”
“I’ll make soybean pig trotters then,” Bai Wei counted with her fingers as she continued, “and chili fish head, uhm… Taro balls, baby cabbage…”
Mu Zi looked at Bai Wei strangely.
Those were her favorite dishes…
