Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Panda Novel

Sheng Minglan looked at Sheng Xiao, her cousin. Finally, she replied with a single word, “No!”

“No…” Sheng Xiao fell into deep thought. Then, he beckoned them to sit down. “How can we discuss it if you don’t sit down?”

“Sheng Xiao, this is not the time to joke now.”

“You should just agree to it if the old man tells you to get engaged.” Sheng Xiao told her.

“You want me to agree to it?”

“You could focus on working with your plan to establish your own company when he lets his guard down. I know you have been working on it. And during the engagement ceremony, you can reject him on the spot. Then, you can negotiate with the old man and make him promise not to interfere with your career for three years. Otherwise, you will fight with him until the end.”

“You can do it but…”

“Why can’t you?” Sheng Xiao asked Sheng Minglan. “Fourth Sister, you are a brave person. You are the one who can fight for your own freedom.”

“If you need anything, you can just tell me. As your cousin, of course I will help you.”

Sheng Minglan took a deep breath. She did not say anything.

“Since you are already planning to rebel, why not make it big? When Sheng Minglan who was gentle put on a fight, do you think that old man who is so calculative will not know the consequences of forcing you? Moreover, when you tell him that you want to become a career woman, you will make the old man think less about you rejecting the marriage.”

Sheng Minglan clenched her fists after hearing this. Then, she relaxed. “You promise you will help me?”

“You have my word. Even if this is for Jing Yun, I will help you until the end.”

Sheng Minglan was puzzled. “What does it have to do with Jing Yun?”

“It’s nothing. Because it is you who brought him to the Sheng family.”

Sheng Minglan glared at Sheng Xiao. But she trusted him. Not only did she want to bet her life, she was well aware of Sheng Xiao’s capabilities.

“So, that’s a deal.”

“You can go and take care of Qiqi. I will leave now.” Sheng Minglan nodded and an ally was formed.

“Jing Yun, send Miss Minglan back.” Sheng Xiao ordered.

“Yes.” Jing Yun nodded. He heard their conversation. He had a mixed feeling about this conversation. Apparently, Sheng Minglan did not have someone she liked for now. He felt glad but was hurt by the answer.

…

Sheng Xiao smiled after Sheng Minglan left. He loved to challenge that old man’s authority. He should step down from the position of being in control since he was very old already. But he chose to torture his children and grandchildren. So, he could not blame them for doing the same thing to him.

He was suddenly looking forward to witnessing Fourth Sister rejecting the marriage on stage. A woman looked best when she was confident. He was just not very sure if Jing Yun would love Fourth Sister even more when he saw it.

When he went back into his room, he hugged his little one who was fast asleep. They would leave the Sheng family sooner or later.

Fourth Sister would leave the Sheng family. So would he!

Jing Yun was driving to Sheng Mansion.

Sheng Minglan was looking out of the car window. Suddenly, she asked, “Am I not being filial if I do this?”

“Miss Minglan, I think that there are many ways to be filial. But a person should not blindly follow the elders’ orders without thinking about themselves. If you do that, you will be like a possession of the elders, not your own person anymore,” replied Jing Yun. “To be frank, the old chairman is just seeing his children and grandchildren as the chess pieces on his chessboard. Even a chess player is sincere when he plays chess mindfully. But do you think he has feelings?”

Sheng Minglan was lost in thought after hearing what he had said.

“By the way, you can tell me anytime you need my help.”

Jing Yun had been working with Sheng Xiao for many years. Naturally, no one would doubt his ability. It was no exaggeration to say that he was someone who could take control when he was left alone.

“Are you trying to return me the favor? You don’t have to, really…”

“No,” Jing Yun answered firmly. “I want to be like Young Master, protecting the person that is important to me.”

Sheng Minglan was startled. She was touched. Because only when she was with Sheng Xiao, she could feel the energy of life. And Jing Yun was well influenced by Sheng Xiao.

Soon, the two reached Sheng Mansion. By the time they reached the mansion, the sun was starting to rise.

Seventh Sister heard their movements and went out of her room to check. When she saw Sheng Minglan coming back from outside and was reeking of alcohol, she chuckled. “Have you been drinking until now?

“It has nothing to do with you.” Sheng Minglan pushed her away. “Move aside.”

“Fourth Sister, Grandpa has ordered me to break Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi up. Do you think I will succeed?”

Sheng Minglan pushed Seventh Sister against the wall. “Do you feel happy when you hurt your cousin?”

“Sheng Xiao has never regarded me as his cousin.” Seventh Sister was excited. “Do you know how excited I was when Grandpa told me that? I couldn’t even sleep the whole night.”

“You will not succeed,” said Sheng Minglan. “Not only that, you will kneel before Sheng Xiao and beg him for forgiveness.”

“You should be looking after yourself now. Aren’t you facing a big problem now?”

Sheng Minglan let go of Seventh Sister and returned to her room.

She was angry.

Grandpa Sheng seemed to have given his consent to Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi’s engagement. But behind Sheng Xiao’s back, he had asked someone else to break up the couple. Why was he so mean?

Anyway, she was used to it already. But for all these years, she still had some hope for the old man.

But now, she could not stand it anymore.

Since Sheng Xiao had had a plan, then she would do her part as well. She did not want to suffer in this place anymore.

Even if she needed to suffer, she wanted everyone to suffer together with her.

…

In Jing Ting, Mu Qiqi woke up early. When she saw Sheng Xiao had not gone to work, she sat beside him.

Sheng Xiao took the hangover soup from Aunt Qu and passed it to Mu Qiqi. “Drink it.”

1Mu Qiqi obediently finished the soup in one go. “How is Fourth Sister?”

“She has her plan. But your nineteenth birthday is coming soon. How should we celebrate it?”

Sheng Xiao changed the topic of their conversation. Last year, she had caused a scene in Mu Mansion on her birthday. Only a year had passed and now she was the little bride of the Sheng family.

“I want to be with you all day.”

Sheng Xiao tilted her chin and kissed her in front of Aunt Wu. He licked away the soup at the corner of her mouth. “As you wish, we can have a date or watch a movie. This time, we can do anything you want to do and go anywhere you want to go. We don’t need to hide anymore.”
