Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Panda Novel

Certainly, it mattered to her.

“If it’s the Mu family, I’ll not be bothered. But, I care about you and Grandpa.” Mu Qiqi held Shen Jianchuan’s hand and said, “Dad, I won’t give up Xiaoxiao no matter what I’m going to lose. He’s my life.”

Mu Qiqi’s eyes became teary when she said that.

“You might think that I’m exaggerating it. I’m only a kid who is eighteen years old. You might think that I’m just too young to know the world.

“But, I know better than any of you how much he means to me in my heart…

“Even if I’m going to be struck by lightning, I won’t change my decision.”

“I’ll always be on your side, Xiao Qi. You need to be brave.”

Shen Jianchuan held Mu Qiqi’s hand back. That was the only thing he could do for Mu Qiqi now, supporting her.

After Mu Qiqi left the hospital, he asked the nurse beside him. “Can I leave the hospital?”

“How could you?”

“What if just for a while?”

The nurse thought for a while. Then, she said to him, “I’ll figure something out.”

Shen Jianchuan knew Grandpa Shen’s temper very well. Certainly, Qiqi would be hurt deeply if she went to meet Grandpa Shen. It was just the right time for him to do something for his daughter.

Mu Qiqi did not tell Sheng Xiao that she was going to return to the Shen family. But, Sheng Xiao knew her well. He went straight to the Shen family after he left Huang Yao.

At that moment, Mu Qiqi was kneeling outside of Grandpa Shen’s study.

Huang Yu and the others stood beside her helplessly.

After a while, Grandpa Shen opened the door and looked coldly at her. He then said, “Follow me…”

They went to the ancestral hall. Mu Qiqi then realized that there was an ancestral hall in the Shen family.

“Tell me the truth now in front of the ancestors. Did you and Sheng Xiao lie to me from the start?”

“Grandpa, we didn’t lie to you regarding anything else except our relationship.”

Grandpa Shen took out the wooden stick which he used to beat Shen Ruoyi the other day. He stood in front of Mu Qiqi. “Do you know how proud I am of you? I adore you deeply. I wanted so badly to give the entire Shen family to you. But, what about you?

“You’re living with another man while you’re only eighteen years old. He comes from the Sheng family too and he’s your uncle. How could I accept that, girl?

“Since you came today, tell me the truth now in front of the ancestors. Who are you going to choose? Do you want Sheng Xiao or your grandpa? I truly can’t bring myself to face Sheng Xiao. It’s awkward. I feel so sorry for the Sheng family. So, you must give me an answer now. Who do you want? Sheng Xiao or your grandpa? Tell me now.

“If you choose your grandpa, you need to stop seeing Sheng Xiao. You must break up with him. Then, we’ll never talk about it. I could pretend that nothing had happened. But, if you pick Sheng Xiao, then we’ll pretend that you never appear in the Shen family. I’ll disown you. You’re no longer my granddaughter then!”

Mu Qiqi looked at Grandpa Shen. She seemed to have made up her mind without any hesitation. “I choose Sheng Xiao.”

Grandpa Shen was so shocked after he heard that. He beat Mu Qiqi up. “Don’t you want to consider it? Do you want to marry him so badly?”

Mu Qiqi endured the pain secretly. But, she did not change her answer. “I choose Sheng Xiao, Grandpa. I can do anything for you except giving Xiaoxiao up. If you care about my life, don’t force me to make a choice here because Sheng Xiao is my life. You don’t know how much I’m indebted to him when he saved me from my desperation. I felt so much admiration for him when he pulled me out of my hopeless pit.

“He saved my life. My life belongs to him. I belong to him. Furthermore, I could kneel down here in front of you because of Xiaoxiao.

“He is very important to me. He’s even more important to me than myself.”

Grandpa Shen beat Mu Qiqi again after he heard that. He became quite anxious. “How stubborn!”

“Grandpa, I’m like this now. I’ll never give Sheng Xiao up for the rest of my life. This is my only answer whether you approve or reject it.”

“The cynical comments will drown you.”

“I’m not afraid of anything…” Mu Qiqi replied in tears.

“If that’s the case, get out of the Shen family like Shen Ruoyi. Get as far away as you could from us. I’ll just treat like I never have you as my granddaughter. I’ll never recognize your identity even if you’re up against the Sheng family.”

After that, Mu Qiqi started giving her grandpa three kowtows. “Grandpa, please take good care of yourself.”

Grandpa Shen never thought that Mu Qiqi would make her decision without any hesitation. He was angry and upset.

Mu Qiqi belonged to the Shen family. How could he disown her that easily? If that incident was exposed, the Sheng family might make it more difficult for Mu Qiqi. Could he go and claim that Mu Qiqi was not his granddaughter? Could he tell them that Mu Qiqi did not belong to the Shen family? Who would believe him then?

But, it was much difficult for him if he was asked to accept that truth. It was more upsetting for him than dying.

“My Qiqi…”

Mu Qiqi left by taking firm steps. She held onto her decision firmly because she must act persistently here. She must give the exact answer to her grandpa. She could not tolerate it. She could do everything for Grandpa Shen but she would never give Sheng Xiao up no matter what happened.

“Qiqi…” Huang Yu went toward Mu Qiqi after she saw her leaving. “Are you okay?”

“Please take good care of Grandpa from now on.” Mu Qiqi said to Huang Yu. “Just treat it like I’m an unfilial child.”

Mu Qiqi was about to leave the Shen family but Grandpa Shen called after her at that moment. “Come back here, you wretched girlbad child! I’ll give you time so that you can break up with Sheng Xiao slowly.

“I won’t force you…”

“Grandpa, you’re forcing me now.” Mu Qiqi turned around and said to Grandpa Shen. “I’ll never break up with him.”

“I’m quite tolerant now. What more do you want me to do?”

Clearly, Grandpa Shen was reluctant to let her go but he could not accept that his nephew was going to be his grandson-in-law.

At that moment, Sheng Xiao drove his car into the Shen family’s courtyard. He saw that Mu Qiqi and the others were standing around the entrance of the living room. He walked toward them directly. He noticed that Mu Qiqi was pressing onto her shoulders. His face soon darkened. “Did they beat you up?”

Mu Qiqi shook her head.

Sheng Xiao hugged Mu Qiqi and looked up at Grandpa Shen. “Uncle Shen, I’ve been taking care of her since she was seventeen. I’m going to continue to do so until she’s nineteen years old. Moreover, I am her guardian. No one can stop me from marrying her.”

“Xiaoxiao…”

“It’s ridiculous…” Grandpa Shen sneered coldly at Sheng Xiao after he heard that.

“It’s easy now since you know that I’m ridiculous.” Then, he lifted Mu Qiqi up and left in front of Grandpa Shen. Before he left, he said to Grandpa Shen, “You can ask me to do anything but not give Mu Qiqi up. That’s the thing I’m unable to do up until now.”
