Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Everyone stuck their heads out to take a look, wanting to know what was inside the black box that could make the old man reveal such an indescribable expression.

“Xiao Qi, what exactly did you bring that’s scaring Grandpa so much?” Sheng Bowen was about to go forward, but was stopped by the old man.

“Wait.”

The others looked at the old man in confusion. Wasn’t it just a gift? Why did he have to be so mysterious?

However, Old Man Sheng squatted and took out the gift that everyone was curious about. It was a delicate wooden cane.

When everyone saw it, they immediately sighed. “Tsk, I thought it was something amazing.”

“Xiao Qi, you’re fooling this old man too much.” Sheng Bowen also laughed.

Mu Qiqi smiled but did not say anything. She just turned her head and glanced at Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao pulled the little one toward him and ruffled her hair.

Everyone thought that it was just a walking stick. However, no one noticed that when the old man received the walking stick, tears almost flowed out of the corners of his eyes. He stroked the walking stick up and down and carefully observed the patterns on it. The more he looked at it, the more he couldn’t put it down.

“Grandpa?” Sheng Bowen called out to the old man. “Do you like it or not?”

“This walking stick is made of a rare ebony. The carvings on it are exactly the same as mine. Do you know why I can’t bear to throw away the old one? Your grandmother bought it for me when she was still alive. I used it for so many years, and the carved flowers on it have all been polished by me. Now that I have this new one, I can treasure the one your grandmother bought for me.”

When everyone heard the old man’s words, they suddenly understood the reason behind the old man’s complex expression.

“You, lass, how did you know?”

“I didn’t. I just saw that you’ve always used this cane. It’s clearly been a few years, but you never got a new one, so I took a guess. For someone with your power to use an old thing for so long, it shows how important it is,” Mu Qiqi replied. “Based on memory, I searched for the carved flower on it on the Internet and had it carved accordingly.”

“Are you praising me or belittling me? Also, did you carve this yourself?”

“When I bought it, it was just a piece of wood. I even went to school to find many teachers and classmates who studied design. Otherwise, do you think you could buy an antique with the same carved flowers?” Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes, “Old Man, are you satisfied?”

Old Man Sheng held his walking stick and tried it on the ground. He looked happy. “It’s really not bad. It’s also comfortable.”

“Eighth Brother sure didn’t suffer for nothing…” Sheng Bowen gave Mu Qiqi a thumbs up.

However, Mu Qiqi ignored him. Instead, she asked Sheng Xiao for credit. “I did it. What reward will you give me?”

“Didn’t you prepare a gift for me?” Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and exposed the secret that someone had revealed when she was drunk.

“How did you know?” Mu Qiqi looked baffled. “Who told you that?”

“You’ll only know the answer when I see the gift,” Sheng Xiao whispered into her ear.

Could this man have noticed that she had prepared these things? It can’t be. This time, her secret was so well-kept. Unless… this man could read minds.

..

The old man had accepted the great gift that Mu Qiqi had prepared specially for him. It was fortunate that he didn’t separate the two of them back then. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known that this girl was actually such a spiritual thing. No wonder Eighth Brother loved her like a jewel.

“Third Brother, hurry up. Help me put the one your grandmother gave me into this box. I want to hang it in my bedroom.”

Sheng Bowen smiled and helped the old man put away the stick that had been used so often before. Then, he asked the butler to put them in his room for him.

The old man was happy. The group then drove their respective cars to the banquet venue.

Although Sixth Brother was still not used to Mu Qiqi, he had to admit that Mu Qiqi was practically a spirit beast raised by Sheng Xiao. Her ability to read minds was top-notch. Even people like them, the descendants who had been by the old man’s side all year round did not know what was on the old man’s mind. However, Mu Qiqi was actually able to see through it and come up with such a thoughtful gift. Just based on this, he had to admit defeat.

When the old man received other gifts, he would take a look at them before asking the butler to put them in his room. Only the stick was in his hand. Even after getting into the car, his eyes never left it.

Very soon, the Sheng family arrived at the Di Sheng Hotel where the birthday banquet was held.

The guests also went to the hotel’s garden to celebrate the old man’s birthday. However, no one expected that apart from the old man’s birthday banquet, there would be a wonderful show that was about to begin.

..

At 9:30 in the morning, Sheng Kai had brought the well-dressed Gu Ziling to Di Sheng Hotel.

On such an important day, Old Master Sheng shouldn’t be so heartlessly happy. After all, he still had a grandson who was suffering outside. He wanted Old Master Sheng to remember this, no matter when or where.

After getting into the car, Gu Ziling couldn’t help but ask her husband, “Can you guarantee that everything is safe and good to go? We’ve been waiting for this day for too long. We can’t afford any mishaps. You must know that Grandfather has high hopes for you. If you can’t even deal with the old man of the Sheng family and Sheng Bowen, then Godfather’s trust in you will definitely be greatly reduced.”

“I’m more nervous about this plan than you are, so you don’t have to worry,” Sheng Kai replied as he drove.

Even though it was a day of revenge, Gu Ziling could not help feeling nervous.

That was because she really wanted to see the Sheng family suffer a crushing defeat.

“I trust you.”

Sheng Kai nodded. He had put in so much effort and used so many tactics just to prevent Sheng Xiao from seeing through his plan.

However, it seemed like he had overestimated Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao had not paid any attention to what had happened this time.

In that case, the scene later would only be… more exciting.

..

It was already ten o’clock in the morning.

Sheng Bowen looked at the time on his watch and then looked for Sheng Xiao in the crowd. This was because so far, there had been no movement from Sheng Kai.

“Why are you in such a hurry?” Mu Qiqi stared at him with champagne. “You seem even more excited than Sheng Kai.”

“Sheng Kai hasn’t made a move yet. I’m afraid that he might have prepared something else.” Sheng Bowen was worried.

“Eh? You finally know that you have to prepare for a rainy day.” Mu Qiqi smiled. Sheng Xiao was Sheng Xiao because he would try his best to make assumptions about what would happen and stop it.

No one could be as well-prepared as him.

Before, Sheng Bowen did not have this kind of awareness toward anything. Seems like getting influenced like this was a good thing for him.
