Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

“Who owns the small villa near Sheng Ting before it was transferred to Lu Wenhua?” Grandpa Shen asked Sheng Xiao directly.

Sheng Xiao took a sip of the tea. Then, he put down the teacup and remained serious. He replied directly, “It’s mine.”

“Did you know that Shen Qinfeng and his family wanted to frame Qiqi beforehand?”

“Yes,” Sheng Xiao replied honestly.

“Can you tell me when Qiqi moved into the small villa? What was the specific time?”

“August.”

Grandpa Shen’s hand started to tremble slowly. It was because he was aware that Sheng Xiao did not come to give him any half-hearted answers. He replied each and every question seriously.

“Then…are you…”

“That’s Qiqi’s and my home.” Sheng Xiao replied directly. It was the question which Grandpa Shen had wanted to ask him the most.

The teacup fell off Grandpa Shen’s hand onto the ground after he heard that. He pressed both of his hands on the table and he closed his eyes tightly.

“We’re together even before her identity and birth were revealed. What more do you want to ask?”

Grandpa Shen did not ask any more questions. He flipped the table directly. It created quite a mess and shocked the servants in the Shen family and Shen Lin.

“You’re her uncle. You don’t belong to the same generation. She’s only eighteen years old! How could you…

“Sheng Xiao, I always think that you’re a reasonable man. You appear reckless but you’ll never do such a thing. But, I’m indeed disappointed in you. Aren’t you ruining her reputation by being with her? Do you want her to be like Lu Qianqian? Do you want her to be laughed at by the others?

Grandpa Shen was quite anxious but Sheng Xiao remained calm. Although they could not enjoy their tea now, he still gave a clear reply to Grandpa Shen. “I want to marry her…”

“You…How could you marry her? Will the Sheng family approve of her?”

“I’m sure you know very well about it. I never intend to keep our relationship a secret but Qiqi didn’t want the others to know about it. So, I kept it a secret. But, I didn’t keep it a secret because I was afraid of the Sheng family or the Shen family. They can’t do anything to me.

“Old Shen, I’m sure you know that there’s no one in this world who could stop me from doing anything as long as I set my heart to it.”

“I couldn’t accept it…How could I?” Grandpa Shen shook his head ceaselessly. “I went into that villa the day before yesterday. Although your belongings were not there, I could feel that Qiqi is definitely not living there alone.

“I was doubtful so I asked the others to look into it and realized that its ownership has been recently transferred.

“I should’ve thought about it…

“I should’ve admitted it but I was afraid. I’m afraid that it’ll be a great blow to me.

“Sheng Xiao, I can’t even face you now…”

Grandpa Shen’s eyes were swollen and red. He stared at Sheng Xiao. He was not only angry but he was filled with a sense of deep humiliation and desperation. His two granddaughters had fallen for the same man!

“It’s fine. I’ll marry Qi’er.”

Grandpa Shen was humiliated and angry. After Sheng Xiao had left, the entire Shen family fell into a great shock, especially Huang Yu. She could not recover herself for a long time after she learned about that incident.

After that, Grandpa Shen went into his study and claimed that he did not want to meet anybody. So, Huang Yu could only ask Shen Lin, “What more did you catch from their conversation?”

“Uncle Sheng said that he wants to marry Qiqi.”

“Oh my god! How brave Qiqi is!” Huang Yu covered her mouth.

“According to what I know, they’re a couple long before Qiqi’s birth and identity were revealed.” Shen Lin said to Huang Yu. “So, they might not have guessed what would happen now when they decided to hide it from us. They did that because they were afraid of hurting Grandpa’s feelings.”

“I know how Qiqi is. If there’s any other way, she would never do such a thing. But, she’s only eighteen years old now and she has chosen Sheng Xiao. Moreover, the Sheng family is not an ordinary family. There’s another barrier between them given that Sheng Xiao is Qiqi’s uncle. Do you think that your grandpa will agree to that?” Huang Yu sighed.

“I think so too. Grandpa might not be able to accept it for the rest of his life…”

“Cen Suyun and her family might not have foreseen that. Shen Ruoyi had put her whole heart into it but Sheng Xiao belongs with Qiqi.” Huang Yu took a look at Grandpa Shen’s study. Then, she said to Shen Lin, “Take good care of your grandpa these few days. Don’t let him be too angry until his health becomes worse. Besides that, there’s no other way we can help Qiqi.”

“I know, Mom.”

“Qiqi has really put a great bomb in our family.”

“But, I thought that you’re not against it.” Shen Lin could hear that Huang Yu was blaming Mu Qiqi from her tone.

“Why should I go against it? Shen Ruoyi was having wishful thinking but Qiqi and Sheng Xiao love each other deeply. How could that be the same? Moreover, they are not related by blood, even though Sheng Xiao is regarded as her uncle. But, who cares about that kind of thing except your grandpa in our home?

“Furthermore, I understand Qiqi. It was Sheng Xiao who saved her when she was lost and helpless. I’m not surprised when I found out that Qiqi’s in love with him. If not, why would she tattoo his name on her ear?”

Shen Lin nodded his head. He understood that loving somebody meant that you would risk everything for your loved one.

He was like that when he was in love with Yu Jing before. Now, Mu Qiqi was doing the same thing, risking everything else for her love for Sheng Xiao.

***

Soon, Mu Qiqi received the news from Sheng Xiao, realizing that Grandpa Shen was aware of their relationship now.

She became anxious. She then called Huang Yu immediately.

“Your grandpa has locked himself in the study for an entire day. He neither eats or drinks anything. It seems like he’s indeed quite angry. The others don’t dare to go and advise him because we’re all aware of your grandpa’s temper. Xiao Qi, you’ve indeed infuriated him deeply.

“He adores and trusts you so much. Certainly, he’s very sad now.

“But, I don’t think that you’re wrong. Who are we to determine what’s right or wrong?”

“Thank you, Second Aunt. I’ll come and visit Grandpa later.” Mu Qiqi said to Huang Yu.

“Good. But you need to prepare yourself mentally. He might not let you off so easily. Moreover, he might force you to make some kind of choices…”

“I know.”

The secret was revealed. What was there left to say? But, she was not afraid. She was only worried about Grandpa Shen’s health.

Mu Qiqi went to the hospital and visited Shen Jianchuan in the afternoon when she had a break.

Shen Jianchuan could guess why she came to visit him at that hour. “Does your grandpa know about it now?”

Mu Qiqi nodded her head. “Yes.”

“He’ll know about it sooner or later…” Shen Jianchuan told his daughter. “I can’t teach you anything regarding this because your grandpa is the one who is angry now. If you truly care about him, go and ask for his forgiveness. Admit to him that you’re wrong. You must go and apologize to him too. You might even need to kneel down in front of him. But, if you don’t care about your grandpa, it doesn’t matter.”
