“He doesn’t have the ability!” Mu Shijia’s eyes darkened.

“Your dad’s funeral is tomorrow. Go earlier.” Qiu Liqin reminded her son.

“I understand.” Said Mu Shijia.

you’re the eldest son of the Mu family, ” Qiu Liqin continued. you have to take good care of the funeral.”

“Mom, don’t worry. I’ve already made the necessary arrangements.”

Qiu Liqin nodded, but didn’t say anything.

As the eldest son of the Mu family, Mu Shijia had inherited his father’s business sense. At the age of 26, he had already gained a firm foothold in the business world. He was decisive and even unscrupulous. After the funeral, his will would be announced, and he would officially take over the Mu group.

After Mu Shijia left, the doctor came to the ward and said to Qiu Liqin, “Madam Mu, it’s a good thing that we managed to save him in time. The Mu family’s family doctor is very skilled. If it wasn’t for the silver needles clearing the acupuncture points and allowing young master Shihe to breathe, young master Shihe might not have been able to make it into the operating room.”

Family doctor? The Mu family members only just remembered that there was a pretty little girl sitting in the corner of the ward. She didn’t make a sound and just sat there quietly. She was so obedient.

Qiu Liqin looked at her carefully. The girl was young, about seventeen or eighteen years old. She had beautiful features, and an elegant and extraordinary temperament. Her eyes were especially bright, as if they were filled with stars. Such a pretty girl reminded Qiu Liqin of someone. Her eyes widened, and she wondered if this little girl was…

Mu Ling slowly raised her eyes and realized that everyone was looking at her. She did not need to hide anymore. She stood up, walked to Qiu Liqin, and said with a faint smile, “Let me formally introduce myself, I am Mu Ling.”

Hearing this name, everyone exploded.

It was indeed that illegitimate daughter!

Qiu Liqin’s face darkened. She had never seen Mu Ling before, because she had been abandoned on Jing Yun Island since she was born. The hatred and jealousy she felt for her mother had been transferred to her. Little bitch! Little bastard!

However, Qiu Liqin tried her best to suppress her emotions, as she couldn’t show them.

The young miss of the Mu family, Mu Wan, blurted out, “You’re the bastard child of the mistress?”

Used to being high and mighty, Mu Wan’s face was filled with a sense of superiority. As she cursed, shock and jealousy gushed out of her heart. Damn it! This little bastard was actually so beautiful!

Her skin was so fair and tender that it was almost glowing. Also, why did the retro-style floral dress she was wearing look so special and fashionable? Could this be the latest fashion?

“You’re so annoying!” Mu Wan accidentally spoke out her inner thoughts.

Qiu Liqin hurriedly gave her daughter a meaningful glance, then pretended to scold her, “Little Wan, what are you talking about?”

Mu Wan didn’t see through her mother’s intentions and said loudly, “What did I say wrong? Wasn’t she a bastard child? How could a little bastard child born from a third party inherit his father’s inheritance? She’s not worthy!”

“Shut up!” Qiu Liqin said, exasperated.

Mu Wan was extremely aggrieved, “mother, mother, mother.”

“Your father just left, and your second brother is still in bed,” Qiu Liqin continued, “don’t you think our home is messy enough?”

“I… I’m not…!” Mu Wan was scolded for no reason, and she felt extremely aggrieved. She clenched her fists and glared fiercely at Mu Ling. Little bastard! Just you wait!

Mu Ling turned a blind eye to her.

Qiu Liqin pulled Mu Ling to the side and said apologetically, “Please don’t mind it.”

Mu Ling shook her head. She did not care about a reckless and impulsive rich girl at all, because she was not worthy!

“Thanks to you, Shihe is fine. I will thank you properly.” Qiu Liqin said with fake affection.

“Auntie, you’re too kind. He’s my second brother too. It’s my duty to save him.” Mu Ling said obediently.

Auntie? ‘Little bastard, you call me that in such a friendly manner!’

Qiu Liqin didn’t like this name, but she still agreed. “Have you studied medicine?”

“Never learned it,” Mu Ling replied.

“Then, how do you know acupuncture?” Qiu Liqin asked curiously.

“That’s how the doctors poke the pigs on Jingyun Island when they’re sick and can’t breathe,” Mu Ling said indifferently. “I’ve seen it a few times, so I remember it.”

Was she was comparing Mu Shihe to a pig?

Qiu Liqin didn’t think of that. She believed Mu Ling’s words, and she mumbled to herself, “So it’s like this.” She felt that a girl who grew up on an island would not have the opportunity and money to study medicine.

She continued to ask, “sigh, you’re quite pitiful. It was your mother who made a mistake. You’re innocent. I won’t blame you.”

As she spoke, Qiu Liqin held Mu Ling’s hand tightly, and her eyes were filled with pity.
