Chapter 70: Just Flattery
She looked up at Mu Lan. “What do you mean by that?”
Mu Lan went forward and held Qin Shu’s hand. “Shu, after I entered the Qin family, I treated you like my own daughter. I didn’t hit you or scold you. I made good food and drinks for you every day. Now that Ya has a scar on her face, you don’t want her to be unhappy every day when she sees her face, right?”
Qin Shu sneered in her heart. She didn’t hit or scold her, but she had made good food and drinks for her?
She had praised Qin Shu even when she did something wrong.
She had praised Qin Shu even when she didn’t do her homework, didn’t study, and skipped class.
She had not stopped her from going to some chaotic and messy entertainment venues.
Otherwise, how could her grades have plummeted?
She would give her soda immediately after she drank milk.
Combined, the two would produce a substance that was curdled and was bad for the stomach and the body.
There were countless such incidents.
It was common for people with weak physiques to catch a cold and have a fever.
“Are you trying to say that my mother’s death was not in an accident, but that someone planned it? Or do you know who it was?”
A cold light flashed in Qin Shu’s clear eyes.
Mu Lan felt a chill run down her spine. She pretended to be calm and said, “Shu, aren’t you curious why Fu Tingyu suddenly took you away? You two didn’t know each other before. You can say that you two are strangers.”
Qin Shu was shocked.
Fu Tingyu had brought her straight back to Bright Garden the first time they had met.
The first time she saw Fu Tingyu, she felt that he was like a person who had walked out of a painting. It was a little unreal.
He was incomparably handsome, and every movement he made exuded a natural nobility.
But he was a very powerful man. He was a man people thought was celibate and they addressed him as Sir.
They were clearly from two different worlds, but he took a fancy to her.
Could this be the legendary love at first sight?
Mu Lan saw that Qin Shu didn’t speak, so she continued, “Your mother went to the neighboring city on a business trip, and Fu Tingyu was also there at that time. They even stayed in the same hotel. There was relevant information in the news reports that day. If you don’t believe me, you can go and check it out. I won’t lie to you.”
Qin Shu was stunned again. Today was the first time she had heard about this matter. It didn’t seem like Mu Lan was lying to her, and the news reports couldn’t be fake either.
“You mean that my mother’s death is related to Fu Tingyu?”
“I’m just guessing. You’re with him now, and Linhai Villa was left behind by your mother, so I’m keeping it for you now just in case.” Mu Lan acted as if she was doing it for Qin Shu’s own good.
Qin Shu stared at Mu Lan for a few seconds. In the end, she was still unwilling to exchange Linhai Villa for the scar removal ointment.
Fu Tingyu falling in love with her at first sight was indeed a very unbelievable thing.
Perhaps that man had really only looked at the heart and not the appearance?
However, it was true that man loved her, and he had also been the only one who doted on her. For her, he did not even care about his life.
How could such a man harm her mother.
Did Mu Lan think that she was still as gullible as before?
“I will investigate the cause of my mother’s death. As for my sister’s face, there’s nothing I can do. Moreover, I met that old Chinese doctor by chance when I went out to play. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. There’s only just that little bit of scar removal ointment in that bottle. The scar on my face hasn’t healed yet, so I shall keep it for myself.”
