Bab 60: No Way To Enter
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mu Zi struck Qiao Jingjia's nerve.
Most interns in the procuratorate were promoted in two years, and some outstanding ones like Su Zi had been promoted in one year.
However, Qiao Jingjia held an intern position for three years.
If it were not for Su Zi's accidental death, she might have had to continue her internship. It was just like telling everyone that she was not good enough to assume the duties of a prosecutor.
It was a disgrace.
Now, a lowly adopted daughter from the Mu family spoke out and ridiculed her, revealing her scar without reserve!
Qiao Jingjia left in fury and humiliation.
She knew that she had screwed up the mediation!
Not only would Mu Rongxuan not be appreciative of her, but he would also complain about her troubles and even think that she was incompetent!
Qiao Jingjia could not just watch as things developed that way.
After she had left the Mu residence, she quickly dialed Mu Zening's phone number—
The phone rang for a long time before it connected, and a man's tired and hoarse voice said, "Jingjia, what's wrong?"
Qiao Jingjia told Mu Zening about the mediation.
She said sadly, "Zening, I really didn't expect that Zizi was living a life like that in the Mu residence. Although she's an adopted daughter, Mu Ling and Mu Yun went too far, and eldest brother never cared about her. What's the difference between how they treat her versus abuse?"
Mu Zening was silent for a long time.
Qiao Jingjia added, "I thought that Little Ling accidentally injured Zizi, so I promised eldest brother that I would deal with this matter. I didn't think that they had hurt Zizi so deeply… Zening, I… I'm a prosecutor. Distorting the truth and covering crimes is something I really can't do…"
She sighed deeply as if she was stuck in a dilemma between personal feelings and justice.
Mu Zening said, "You've suffered, Jingjia. I'll talk to eldest brother about this."
Qiao Jingjia sighed in relief.
However, she could not let Mu Zening sympathize with Mu Zi.
"I don't know why, but that child Mu Zi just won't listen to reason. She even threatened me and said that if we didn't send her to Geroux, she would publish her diary on the Internet. She also said… said…" Qiao Jingjia deliberately hesitated.
Mu Zening asked, "What did she say?"
Qiao Jingjia said in a heavy tone, "She said she wants Sister Su's Hummer, otherwise, she'll go to court to sue."
"What does she want a car for?" Mu Zening was surprised.
Qiao Jingjia's tone had implications. "She's just a sixteen-year-old girl, so she's inevitably somewhat vain, especially when she's brought up by Mrs. Bai. Her character and conduct are somewhat.."
She heaved a long sigh. "She's too unreasonable. Everyone knows that this car was Sister Su's treasure before her death."
Mu Zening's voice cooled. "She's being ridiculous."
The anger and frustration stirred up by Mu Zi in Qiao Jingjia's heart were swept away with his words.
She became happy again and her tone was much gentler. "She's just a child, so it's normal to have a temper. I'm the one in the wrong for disturbing your work over such things… Zening, how are things going on your side? How long until you can come back?"
"It's a bit troublesome here… I might be late."
"Then you should pay attention to your health. Don't work too hard and remember to relax occasionally…"
After a bout of caring and attentiveness, Qiao Jingjia hung up the phone.
Qiao Jingjia felt good after tossing away the trouble in her hands, but she grew oppressed just thinking of Mu Zi's arrogance.
'She's just an adopted daughter. Even if she's quick-witted, she's just a lowly adopted daughter. When I marry into the Mu family, I'll have plenty of opportunities to settle the score.'
Thinking about this, Qiao Jingjia left at a brisk pace.
…
It was night.
The evening breeze blew slowly, and the low cry of insects sounded from outside, reflecting in the quiet night.
It was a beautiful night, but Mu Zi only felt fear at the moment.
She was afraid that Mu Rongcheng would come again.
Even after locking the doors and windows, and carefully checking them again, Mu Zi was still worried.
She looked around the room and picked up a solid wooden chair before moving it to the door. Then, she placed a vase on it.
Then, she finally felt slightly relieved and turned off the lights to go to sleep.
She thought, 'This way, there's no way he can enter…'
