My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 680: Extra 093 There should be no barriers between husband and wife (Second update)

Xin Zaozao was quite punctual in going to and from work every day.

Regardless, having one more person at home only added to her worries.

The driver dropped her off at the base of her apartment building.

Every time Xin Zaozao got off work, she would feel a little excited deep inside, and just the thought of Wanwan would bring a natural smile to her face.

She quickened her steps slightly.

Pressed the lift button and went in.

Just as she had stepped in.

The elevator was suddenly stopped by someone, a woman followed her into the elevator.

Xin Zaozao glanced at her, and as a courtesy would normally greet her neighbor with a smile, but this time, her smile suddenly froze.

She stared straight at the person in front of her.

The woman in front of her looked quite nonchalant as she pressed the elevator button and asked her, “Which floor are you going to?”

Xin Zaozao returned to her senses.

She quickly pressed the button for her own floor.

In the silent elevator.

The woman standing next to Xin Zaozao suddenly spoke, “Aren’t you curious?” she asked.

Xin Zaozao’s eyes flickered and she looked at her without making a sound.

“Don’t you find it curious that there’s someone who looks so similar to you?” She continued, grinning eerily.

“Who are you?” Xin Zaozao asked, she truly couldn’t recognize her.

The woman smiled and said, “Lei Qian.”

Xin Zaozao couldn’t hide her astonishment, and she stared at her.

“Mu Cidian said I was ugly, so I spent some time having plastic surgery. The doctor asked me what I wanted to look like. I didn’t have any particular celebrity in mind, nor did I admire any specific appearance. So, I thought, since Mu Cidian likes your appearance so much, I gave the doctor your photo.” Lei Qian laughed eerily, “I didn’t expect it to be so successful. Looking at us in the mirror, I would say the resemblance is at least eighty percent.”

Xin Zaozao’s face turned cold.

“By the way,” Lei Qian said, “I also had liposuction, breasts augmentation and so on. Don’t you think my figure is better than yours?”

Having said that, she deliberately italicised her body in front of Xin Zaozao.

“What are you trying to do?” Xin Zaozao asked coldly.

She had no interest in her appearance or figure.

“Isn’t it obvious? I want to snatch Mu Cidian away,” Lei Qian blurted out how she felt.

Just then, the elevator arrived and she got out.

As she stepped out, she said to Xin Zaozao inside the elevator, “There is nothing I won’t do for Mu Cidian!”

Xin Zaozao’s eyes narrowed.

The elevator doors closed.

She never imagined that Lei Qian, infatuated with Mu Cidian, would go to such insane lengths.

Even to the extent of altering her entire appearance!

This woman, her dark and obsessive heart, was completely unlike the innocence she showed at first glance.

Actually, ever since she pushed her into the water, she knew this woman’s desire for revenge was not to be underestimated.

She had been on guard ever since.

However, since that time when Mu Cidian went to help Lei Qian’s father avoid jail time and interacted with Lei Qian, she had almost forgotten about Lei Qian’s existence. Little did she anticipate, this woman would do such crazy things in that time.

She walked into her home.

Since she usually came home at this time, dinner was already on the table.

Wanwan was probably asleep because Mu Cidian was setting the table himself. If Wanwan hadn’t been asleep, she would definitely be hanging in Mu Cidian’s arms at this moment.

“You’re back?” Mu Cidian said casually, “Wanwan is asleep. You can have dinner after washing your hands.”

Xin Zaozao stared at Mu Cidian, then quietly responded after a second.

The three of them, including the nurse, sat at the dinner table.

The nutritionist was only responsible for cooking, she didn’t dine with them.

The dinner table was always somewhat quiet.

Mu Cidian didn’t talk much, and the nurse didn’t say anything at the dinner table because she was eating quickly, concerned Wanwan might suddenly wake up.

Mu Cidian was the same.

Always rushing through meals, afraid that the baby would wake up.

On the other hand, Xin Zaozao usually ate much slower, but today she was unusually slow.

“Did something happen?” Mu Cidian suddenly asked.

He was always good at reading her feelings.

Xin Zaozao moistened her lips and said, “I ran into someone today.”

“Oh?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“It was Lei Qian” Xin Zaozao spoke bluntly.

Mu Cidian paused.

“She’s in our compound.” Xin Zaozao raised her brows, “How could she afford to buy a flat here?”

And even more shockingly.

Where did she get the money for such extensive plastic surgery?

Such a successful operation couldn’t possibly have been done in a small hospital, it must have been performed by a top surgeon.

Mu Cidian didn’t answer. Instead, he said, “I see.”

Xin Zaozao had more to say but suddenly swallowed her words.

In fact, did not particularly matter to her what Lei Qian wanted to do, as long as she didn’t cause her any trouble.

She said, “I don’t want to see her.”

“Alright.”

After dinner.

Wanwan woke up. For the first time, Mu Cidian did not go to hold her right away, but left the house instead.

Mu Cidian found Lei Qian’s apartment number through property management.

He thought his warning before was enough.

Lei Qian’s disappearance these past few months had led him to believe that she had disappeared from his life completely. He had even forgotten her existence.

But obviously, her sudden appearance here was no accident or coincidence.

It was intentional.

He rang the doorbell.

The door opened.

A woman who looked remarkably like Xin Zaozao was standing in front of him, dressed in a transparent silk dress that left very little to the imagination. She smiled at Mu Cidian and said, “I knew you would come looking for me.”

So she had prepared the dress in advance, showing off her figure just for him.

Mu Cidian’s eyes were fixated on the woman’s face. After a few moments, he said calmly, with no hint of emotion in his voice, “Didn’t I warn you not to mess with Xin Zaozao?”

“I didn’t mess with her.” Lei Qian stated plainly, “I moved in a week ago and only bumped into her today.”

“Stop playing games with me!”

“I’m not…”

“Move out tomorrow, I don’t want to see you!” Mu Cidian did not want to waste words with her.

Lei Qian scoffed, “Is it not permissible for me to improve my living conditions and live in a better place?”

“Tomorrow a cleaning company will come to help you pack your things.” Mu Cidian turned to leave, “Don’t make me repeat it twice.”

“Mu Cidian!” Lei Qian called out loudly, “I’ve changed so much, I’ve become like this, and without even asking me why, you’re just kicking me out. Mu Cidian, don’t you think you’re overly cruel?”

Mu Cidian’s throat bobbed. He turned around and said sternly, “Have it undone!”

Lei Qian’s eyes opened wide, tears welling up in them.

“This face belongs only to Xin Zaozao!”

“No!” Lei Qian declared loudly, “This is my freedom. It’s my freedom to alter my appearance as I wish!”

“Don’t make me lose the last bit of goodwill I have for you.”

Leaving her with these words, Mu Cidian did not even spare her a glance as he walked away.

Lei Qian watched Mu Cidian’s retreating figure.

After enduring for so long, her composure still shattered at the sight of him.

A cold smile suddenly appeared on her face.

If she could be this ruthless to herself, what did she have to fear from Mu Cidian’s threats?!

…

Mu Cidian returned home.

Xin Zaozao was playfully cuddling with Wanwan in the living room.

It seemed that she was not at all affected by Lei Qian’s actions.

Mu Cidian came in.

He sat down next to Xin Zaozao.

Xin Zaozao did not ask him anything.

Mu Cidian could not contain his thoughts in front of Xin Zaozao.

He said, “I’ll have her move out tomorrow.”

Xin Zaozao continued to play with Wanwan.

“I’ll make her revert her face.”

Xin Zaozao still said nothing.

She handed Wanwan to Mu Cidian, saying, “I have a video conference tonight, I’m going back to my room first, if the baby needs to eat, just bring her.”

“Xin Zaozao,” Mu Cidian called out to her as he grabbed her hand..

Xin Zaozao looked at him.

“If you’re unhappy, you can tell me, I don’t want you to keep everything bottled up.”

“There’s nothing.” Xin Zaozao denied. “Out of sight, out of mind. I just don’t want to waste time dealing with something that I think…hmm.”

Mu Cidian suddenly moved closer to her.

Xin Zaozao was taken aback.

At this moment, the baby was still in Mu Cidian’s arms.

The nanny was also nearby.

The nanny, witnessing the couple’s sudden intimacy, swiftly averted her gaze with a smile.

Xin Zaozao frowned.

Just as Mu Cidian seemed about to deepen the kiss, she suddenly pushed him away, “What are you doing?”

“Just making sure you understand, we are husband and wife,” Mu Cidain said.

“No need to remind me,” Xin Zaozao wiped her mouth, a faint blush on her face.

“There shouldn’t be any barriers between a husband and wife”, Mu Cidian added. “Xin Zaozao, I hope that one day you can tell me what you’re really thinking. ”

Having said that,

Mu Cidian, holding Wanwan, left the sofa area.

Xin Zaozao watched his retreating figure.

She instinctively bit her lip.

The nanny, seeing Mu Cidian leave with the baby, quickly got up to follow him, and before leaving, she couldn’t help adding, “I think the master makes a good point.”

Xin Zaozao frowned.

Her gaze was still locked onto Mu Cidian’s retreating figure, holding baby Wanwan.

She looked back.

No.

She didn’t think that she could be candid and honest with Mu Cidian.

She couldn’t do it.

…

The next day,

Mu Cidian left the house early in the morning.

By the time Xin Zaozao left for work, Mu Cidian had already left.

She didn’t ask any questions, simply having breakfast and leaving.

Mu Cidian went to Lei Qian’s residence.

He sent a housekeeping company to help Lei Qian move, but she wouldn’t open her door.

Mu Cidian didn’t bother to argue with Lei Qian, he ordered someone to break her door open.

Surprisingly, Lei Qian was not even home.

Mu Cidian called Lei Qian.

The phone was switched off.

“Mr. Mu, should we still move her stuff now?” the manager of the housekeeping company asked hesitantly as they were reluctant to move her things without her consent.

“Move it,” said Mu Cidian firmly.

“But…”

“Don’t worry, I will take responsibility for any consequences.”

“Then please sign here,” the manager took out a moving procedure form.

Mu Cidian swiftly signed his name.

He again tried to call Lei Qian several times, but her phone was still off.

Just as he was thinking about contacting Lei Qian’s father, Lei Qiang, his phone rang. It was Xin Zaozao.

Mu Cidian answered. Before he could say anything, he heard Xin Zaozao’s anxious voice, “Wanwan is missing! Wanwan was taken by Lei Qian!”

“What?” Mu Cidian felt a tightening in his chest and was genuinely startled.

“Just now, I called the nanny. She said the baby was taken by me. I can’t go back. I’m on my way to work. Lei Qian must have disguised as me and taken the baby from our home. Mu Cidian…”

“Don’t panic. I’ll be right back.” He hung up the phone abruptly.

He rushed upstairs, running through the safety stairwell with great urgency.

The door to his apartment stood wide open.

The nanny was in tears at home. Upon seeing Mu Cidian return, she blurted out, “Sir, the mistress said she was taking the baby out for a bit. I tried to join her, but she just left with the baby. When I called her later, she said that she hadn’t returned at all. I don’t know what’s going on, but the baby really isn’t at home. What am I supposed to do?”

Mu Cidian quickly spun around, pounding at the elevator button with desperation.

The elevator reached the first floor.

Mu Cidian rushed to the property management center and asked them to retrieve the security footage.

The surveillance footage clearly showed Lei Qian leaving with the baby on an elevator.

She was dressed in a professional outfit similar to Xin Zaozao’s. Unless one was paying close attention, it would be hard to notice that it wasn’t Xin Zaozao.

Mu Cidian clenched his fists.

Despite all his calculations, he had not foreseen that Lei Qian would ever harm the baby.

If something happened to the baby…

Mu Cidian’s face took on a ruthless expression.

He would seek revenge on the entire world!
