Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Grandpa Shen had gone home and delivered the good news to Cen Suyun after he had met Lin Mu’an.

Cen Suyun learned that Lin Mu’an had promised to go and visit Shen Ruoyi. So, she became nicer to Grandpa Shen. “Finally, you act like a grandpa to Shen Ruoyi. Don’t always make yourself busy because of that illegitimate child.”

“Are you going to start again?” Grandpa Shen was in a good mood now. But, Cen Suyun started to talk about unpleasant things. He soon became annoyed.

Cen Suyun knew that Grandpa Shen had done his part. So, she kept her mouth shut. But, there would certainly be another good show after a few days.

It was because she had hired somebody to keep a close eye on the small mansion but Mu Qiqi had never returned to that mansion.

Not even for a day!

“I’ve stayed outside the mansion for so many days. I saw many people from dawn till dusk. But, I never saw Mu Qiqi returning to or leaving the mansion. I asked the people there and there’s only a door. The other doors are locked. So, I can affirm that Mu Qiqi has another home.”

Shen Ruoyi fell into deep thought after she listened to her mother. “If she’s not living at the small mansion, she doesn’t have to hide it from Grandpa unless there are some secrets behind it.”

“That’s what I’m thinking about. But, Mu Qiqi is under the Sheng family’s protection. It’s rather difficult if we want to stalk her.”

“Mom, you don’t have to do it yourself. Go and hire somebody from Sheng Ting. Ask Mu Qiqi’s friend to help you. Then, no one will get suspicious about it.”

“It’s indeed a good way. I’ll go and have it done tomorrow. I’m rather curious as to what kind of secret that illegitimate child is hiding from us.”

“By the way, your uncle is staying in this hospital too. I’ll go and visit him with you when you’re feeling better.”

Shen Jianchuan knew about it the minute Third Aunt and her daughter entered the hospital. They always bullied Mu Qiqi and they were nothing but wicked snakes. They always carried out different schemes and plots.

Although he was not living in the Shen family currently, he could learn about all the things which had happened to the Shen family recently. Grandpa Shen had told him everything and he himself also had his own means to get to know about them.

So, Shen Jianchuan had learned about what they were talking about in the ward soon from the nurses. He was an old customer there and it was not a difficult thing if he were to ask a favor from the nurses there.

Shen Jianchuan learned from the nurses that they were investigating the incident whether Mu Qiqi was staying in the small mansion.

As Mu Qiqi’s father, he could guess that Mu Qiqi was living together with Sheng Xiao by now. So, he could not allow anyone to know about that.

She was only eighteen years old. How could she give everything she had to Sheng Xiao?

However, he still asked the nurse to get in touch with Mu Qiqi for him. He wanted to ask Mu Qiqi to come to the hospital to meet him.

Mu Qiqi did not know what Shen Jianchuan was going to say to her. But, she could feel that it was quite an urgent issue.

“Qiqi, tell me frankly. Are you living with Sheng Xiao currently?”

Mu Qiqi did not deny it. She only nodded her head and admitted it. “Yes, we’re living together.”

“You… Are you sure that you’re going to be with him forever?”

“Dad, we’ve discussed this.” Mu Qiqi gave Shen Jianchuan a firm answer.

Shen Jianchuan felt that it was a pity given that he did not even get the chance to choose a husband for her before she had decided to be with Sheng Xiao forever. But, he still told Mu Qiqi what he had learned from the nurses.

“Even if you’re not living in the small mansion, you need to return to that place every day. It’s fine even if you want to leave the small mansion after that. But, you cannot let others know about your secret.

“Shen Ruoyi and her mother know that you didn’t return to the small mansion for a few days. Now, they want to bribe one of your classmates so that they could learn about where you’re staying at the moment.”

Mu Qiqi felt slightly guilty toward Shen Jianchuan after she heard that. “Dad, I’m sorry.”

“You’ve grown up now. I know about that clearly. But, I’m telling you now. I’m quite a powerful man even if I’m lying here and I cannot move freely. Still, I’m able to protect you all the same.

“Luckily, they’re staying in this hospital. What if they change to another hospital and discuss how to stand against you there? What are you going to do?”

“Shen Ruoyi has a crush on Xiaoxiao and it’s exposed by the others. Grandpa Shen is quite angry about it and he beat Shen Ruoyi up harshly. Moreover, he grounded her for a month. What if Grandpa Shen knows about Xiaoxiao and I one day…I don’t know how heartbroken he will become.”

“If you’re worried about that, why do you still choose to be with Sheng Xiao?”

“I can’t live without him.” Mu Qiqi seemed so persistent. “Thank you, Dad. I’ll take care of this issue properly.”

“How are you going to resolve it? They just want to condemn you in front of Grandpa Shen. Just let them be. You can even let Grandpa Shen know about it in the end. Shen Ruoyi was so obsessed with Sheng Xiao even when she didn’t get any chance to meet him. You’re so intimate with Sheng Xiao. Do you think that you could hide it from your grandpa anymore?

“He’s just pretending not to know about it. Clearly, he’s lying to himself before he gets any concrete evidence.”

“I understand.”

“Xiao Qi, just admit that you like him. It’s not an unforgivable crime. If Sheng Xiao treats you nicely, I won’t stand between you. You need to face your grandpa one day no matter what happens.”

Shen Jianchuan was the one who understood her the most at a time like that.

Mu Qiqi smiled all of a sudden. “I left in a rush just now and I even asked Xiaoxiao to send me here. Do you want to meet him?”

“He took my daughter away from me. How could he dream of me approving his existence that easily? No way!” Shen Jianchuan said, “I’ll ask him to meet me properly when I’ve recovered.”

“Fine.” Mu Qiqi held Shen Jianchuan’s arm and leaned against him. She tried her best to feel her father’s warmth and love.

But, she soon felt that both Cen Suyun and her daughter had done a great deal to her. It was impossible if she did not counterattack.

It was just like what her father had told her. She could just let them be. Then, Grandpa Shen would hate both of them deeply and they might be kicked out of the Shen family forever.

She did not want to carry out such a plan but they were the ones who had forced her to do so.

Mu Qiqi stayed by her father’s side for a while in the hospital. Then, she returned home with Sheng Xiao. On their way home, Mu Qiqi told Sheng Xiao what Shen Ruoyi and her mother were plotting at the moment.

Sheng Xiao entered the living room without saying anything else. He hugged Mu Qiqi quietly. “If they want a big scene, I’ll definitely give them a big scene.”

“But, I don’t understand why they want to stand against me so badly.”

“Shen Ruoyi was punished by Grandpa Shen because she had done something wrong. On the other hand, you’re fine. So, they try their best to find something against you. Don’t you understand that?

“Actually, I want to forgive them but they have too many schemes in their mind. If they want to look into your affairs, we’ll let them be.

“They choose hell over heaven when there’s clearly a better option for them!”
