“Yes, if you don’t believe me, you can call Mr. Zuo and ask him.” As she spoke, Mu Ling took out her phone and looked through her call history. “This phone was given to me by Mr. Zuo. There are records of his phone calls. Auntie, look, this is it …”

After seeing the call history, Qiu Liqin’s face turned livid.

Mu Wan’s eyes widened. She slapped the sofa and stood up.”What did you just say? Did Mr. Zuo buy you a phone? He even sent you ice cream? That’s impossible! I don’t believe it!”

After saying that, Mu Wan directly rushed to the kitchen. As expected, she found a large pile of ice cream of various flavors in the refrigerator. She was so jealous that she threw the ice cream on the ground to vent her anger.

Then, she angrily ran in front of Mu Ling and asked, “”On what basis? You bastard, how did you seduce master Qing? Tell me!”

“Wan, shut up,” Qiu Liqin said. “Don’t talk about that for now.”

Hearing her mother’s words, Mu Wan swallowed back the words she wanted to say. She was really infuriated! Why would the high and mighty master Qing send ice cream to a b * stard from the countryside so late at night? Who would believe it?

“Even if you have Mr. Zuo’s call history as a witness, ” Qiu Liqin said, ” why would Xin be locked in your room? ”

Mu Ling explained slowly, “aunty, if I were to forcefully drag sister Mu Xin from upstairs to my room and lock her in, the noise would definitely be very loud. It’s impossible that no one would hear it … And you should have seen that the quilt and the wall in my room are all stained with ink. My clothes have been cut and thrown on the ground. I didn’t do this myself, did I?”

Mu Xin, who was bawling, was suddenly stunned. She had actually forgotten about this …

“What do you mean by that?” Qiu Liqin asked, hesitant.

Mu Ling’s watery eyes looked at Mu Xin, “Little sister Mu Xin, if I’m not wrong, you must have sneaked into my room when I went out to get my things. You splashed ink on my bed and cut my clothes, am I right?”

Mu Xin felt guilty, but she stubbornly said,”I didn’t do it!”

Mu Ling,”really? Then where did the ink on your hand come from?”

Mu Xin lowered her head to take a look. Only then did she realize that her hand had unknowingly been stained with a lot of ink. She immediately hid her small hand behind her back, not saying a word.

Qiu Liqin’s face turned darker and darker. She repeatedly reminded her not to act rashly before Mu Ling signed and give up the inheritance, but her younger daughter keeps making mistakes again and again!

At that moment, a few firefighters came up from the basement. The captain said, “”Madam Mu, we’ve already finished our investigation. The door wasn’t locked on purpose, but the lock was rusty, so it couldn’t be opened from inside. We’ve also found the starting point.”

“What started the fire?” Qiu Liqin asked.

“It was caused by this lighter.” As he spoke, the fire brigade leader took out an automatic lighter that had been burnt black. Then, he looked at the crowd and asked, “”Whose lighter is this?”

Mu Xin’s face paled in an instant. I’m finished! She had actually forgotten about the lighter! Qiu Liqin’s face turned even darker. She recognized that lighter. It was the birthday gift her husband had given her younger daughter.

Mu Wan and Mu Shi also recognized the lighter, but neither of them said anything.

The firefighter noticed the Mu family’s strange expressions and continued, “There’s a high probability that this is a premeditated, malicious arson case. It will be investigated.”

Mu Xin was frightened. She threw herself into her mother’s arms and cried, “”Wuwuwu … The lighter is mine.”

“So, did you start the fire?” asked the fire captain.

“No, no, the lighter is mine, but she set the fire. It has nothing to do with me. It was her!” As she said that, Mu Xin pointed at Mu Ling.

However, no one believed her. Even Qiu Liqin started to doubt her. Could it be that the younger daughter really wanted to take revenge on Mu Ling, so she sneaked into her room and did those things, and even wanted to set fire to it? These actions were indeed possible from her younger daughter.

If this were to reach the police station, the matter would be blown up! The Mu family can’t lose that face!

After thinking for a while, Qiu Liqin smiled and said to the fire brigade leader, “I’m really sorry. This fire is our family’s business. I’ll have to trouble everyone to come. We’ll handle the rest on our own.”

The firefighters didn’t say much. They also felt that the fire was caused by the naughty child, so they left.

Everyone in the living room was silent.

Qiu Liqin pushed her daughter away and asked, “”Xin, tell me the truth. What happened?”
