After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Xu Weiyan retorted, "Qi Mu'an isn't that kind of man. If he were, he wouldn't have pursued me back in college. He's only hurting me now."

"That's why he treats me this way, but I believe I can awaken his love for me."

Hai Zhen glanced sideways at Xu Weiyan, wondering where this woman got her confidence from.

Anyone with eyes can see that Qi Mu'an is very close to Zhao Mengmeng now, and he's even a little afraid of his wife.

Not wanting to argue with Xu Weiyan anymore, Hai Zhen coughed lightly and said, "Then I wish you good luck. But we agreed that this is the last time I'll help you. Don't come looking for me again."

"Also, you should pack your things and leave. I have a patient who needs to be admitted this afternoon, so this ward needs to be vacated."

Xu Weiyan rolled her eyes at Hai Zhen, "What's the rush? You go ahead and do your thing. I'll rest for a bit before I leave. I promise I won't delay your afternoon patient admissions."

Hai Zhen is really annoyed with Xu Weiyan now. He really doesn't understand how Qi Mu'an could have fallen for Xu Weiyan back then.

Qiao Ran and Qi Muci got back into the car and drove back to her in-laws' house.

As Qi Muci started the car, he asked her, "What are you thinking about? You seem to be pondering something."

Qiao Ran looked at Qi Muci, "You figured it out."

Qi Muci smiled. "Are you thinking about Xu Weiyan? Do you suspect she faked her suicide?"

Qiao Ran: "Hmm, I feel that her relationship with that doctor is unusual. It feels like they are acquaintances. Would a normal doctor have time to wait in the ward for the patient's family to arrive?"

Qi Muci raised an eyebrow slightly. "You're right, this isn't within a doctor's scope of responsibility."

Qiao Ran: "Doctors might help contact family members, but they don't stay in the ward like this. Besides, even though we came, he didn't leave and stayed there to listen to our conversation."

"Also, I don't think Xu Weiyan's condition is serious enough to require someone to take care of her or for a doctor to be by her side all the time. I think it's more like the two of them conspired to deceive me."

"If the suicide attempt was fake, then is Xu Weiyan's illness also fake? Is it possible that she colluded with this doctor to fabricate a story and deceive her brother?"

“You’re right. If they’ve conspired to deceive our elder brother, we can’t just sit idly by. I’ll have Peng Ze investigate to find out the truth.”

After Qi Muci finished speaking, he used voice call to dial Peng Ze's number.

He told Peng Ze about Xu Weiyan's situation in detail and asked Peng Ze to find someone to investigate it as soon as possible.

Qi Muci: "First, we need to investigate the relationship between Xu Weiyan and that doctor named Hai Zhen. Second, we need to investigate whether Xu Weiyan really has stomach cancer. Third, we need to investigate Xu Weiyan's suicide."

"Okay, Brother Ci, I'll check right away," Peng Ze replied and hung up the phone.

Qi Muci glanced at Qiao Ran and instructed, "Before the investigation results are out, don't let Big Brother and Mengmeng know about this. Mengmeng is pregnant now, so it's best to avoid making her worry."

Qiao Ran: "Yes, that's what I think too. Let's wait for Peng Ze's investigation results."

The two were silent.

After a while, Qiao Ran jokingly asked Qi Muci, "You've never had a girlfriend all these years, have you? What if one day a woman suddenly comes up to you and says she's your white moonlight or something?"

"Then she'll use the same trick, pretending to be sick to gain your sympathy, and then you'll pity her and ask me to pity her too, and then you'll fall into her trap step by step."

Qi Muci chuckled, "You have a rich imagination, but unfortunately, you won't have the chance to experience something like this."

Because my ideal love is you, you idiot.

Qiao Ran looked at Qi Muci and said, "I can't imagine. Isn't there a single girl who has ever made your heart flutter?"

Qi Muci turned to her and smiled gently, "Guess."

Qiao Ran pouted, "I can't guess. You've worked with so many beautiful actresses. You must have fallen for one of them while filming, right? Unless you're a cold-blooded animal."

Qi Muci: "Then I might be a cold-blooded animal, because for me, filming is just work. When I'm working, all I think about is work, not feelings. Once the work is over, it's over."

"And you, you've worked with quite a few male actors, have there been any that made your heart flutter?"

Qiao Ran: "How could I possibly have a chance? My mom keeps a very close eye on me. Just like you, acting is my job. My mom is constantly brainwashing me, telling me to act well and earn more money."

"To put it simply, I'm like an emotionless robot; every day I wake up, all I do is film and earn money."

Qi Muci reached out and took her hand, offering comfort.

Qiao Ran smiled and said, "Actually, it's quite good. With my mom around, I avoid a lot of trouble. For example, I don't have to go drinking with all sorts of people. My mom turned them all down for me. Later, people in the industry knew about it and stopped asking me out."

Qi Muci: "Yes, we should thank your mother for that."

Qiao Ran: "So there are advantages and disadvantages."

The two chatted about filming and unknowingly returned to the in-laws' house, where several cars were parked in the yard.

As Qi Muci looked for a parking space, he said, "It seems like the house is quite lively."

Qi Mu'an's car also arrived.

Everyone got off the bus and went inside.

Qi Muci's grandparents and maternal grandparents were all present.

Qi Helian also made a special trip back from the company.

As soon as Qi Mu'an and Zhao Mengmeng entered the house, they were surrounded by the elders who asked them about their registration.

Shen Qinglan took two marriage certificates out of her bag and showed them to everyone.

The elders all vied to give Zhao Mengmeng red envelopes and gifts.

Both elderly ladies were carrying jewelry.

This reminded Qiao Ran of when she and Qi Muci registered their marriage, they also gave each other beautiful jewelry.

Zhao Mengmeng was shocked when she saw these valuable jewels.

He quietly asked Qiao Ran, "Ranran, did you have these at your wedding? Are these things very expensive? They must have cost several million."

Qiao Ran replied truthfully, "Yes, mine is similar to yours. I asked my mother-in-law to keep it for me; she has a safe."

Zhao Mengmeng: "Then I'll ask my mother-in-law to keep it for me. If it gets lost, I'll be heartbroken."

After having a couple of sips of tea in the living room, Shen Qinglan invited everyone to move to the dining room for lunch, where they could chat as they ate.

Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding; no one mentioned Xu Weiyan's suicide.

After dinner, when everyone returned to the living room for tea, Peng Ze called Qi Muci back, and the investigation results came out.

Qi Muci put the phone on speakerphone so that everyone in the room could listen.

Peng Ze: "Xu Weiyan does know that doctor named Hai Zhen; they were high school classmates, that's the first point. Secondly, Xu Weiyan did indeed make an appointment with Hai Zhen to see a doctor for her stomach problems."

"However, the hospital's examination results showed that she only had ordinary gastritis. At that time, Hai Zhen only prescribed her three boxes of Weishu granules, and there were no further medical records of Xu Weiyan after that."

"Thirdly, regarding Xu Weiyan's suicide, we asked Xu Weiyan's landlord, who said that his family was abroad and had not been in contact with Xu Weiyan for some time."

"So it wasn't the landlord who discovered it at all. Also, there's no record of Xu Weiyan in the hospital's ambulance dispatch records last night and this morning."
