Although Sheng Xiao was overseas, he made Jing Yun keep an eye on everything happening in the Shen family. He was determined to make Shen Jianchuan's doctor his man.
As for Mu Qiqi's speculation about Rong Junhan hiding away Mu Tangxue, he already knew it before she even thought of it. If he could not even think of this petty thing, he would not be able to be the Crown Prince of Huang Yao since long ago.
What use did Mu Tangxue have now? It was nothing more than her face that was similar to Mu Qiqi's.
Sheng Xiao did not just want to know it himself, he also wanted Grandpa Shen to know about it. so, he ordered Jing Yun to go fishing with Grandpa Shen at Shen Mansion.
"Old Shen, are you going to let Madam Rong marry into the Shen family? You should know it perfectly well that once Madam Rong joins the Shen family, what this will mean to Qiqi. We, the Sheng family, did not save Qiqi to let her enter a tigers' den after coming out of a wolves' cave."
Grandpa Shen sneered while fishing."Why do you think I insist on letting Qiqi come back to the Shen family? Because I know Rong Junhan is trying to buy support from the people. She has indeed contributed a lot to the Shen family over the years. But we have also helped her family to overcome their bankruptcy."
"So, I never thought that we have done her wrong."
"But we do owe Qiqi a lot."
"Old Shen..."
"I know Junhan will never accept Qiqi. But Qiqi is my granddaughter. She must return to the Shen family. No one can stop her."
"But Young Master Shen and Miss Rong will get married eventually." Jing Yun reminded him."And there is one more thing I have to tell you. Mu Tangxue has gone missing. I think that Miss Rong might be the only one left who is interested in Mu Tangxue. If she is to do something, she will try to damage the relationship between Qiqi and Young Master Shen."
After Grandpa Shen heard what he said, he turned around and looked at him.
"Mu Tangxue has gone missing?"
"Even the Sheng family is unable to track her down. She vanished in just one night. There is only one explanation to this."
Grandpa Shen's eyes darkened. He put down his fishing rod and nodded."If this is true, then Rong Junhan will never be able to enter the door of the Shen family again. As for Jianchuan, I will tell him so that he can keep an eye on this. Don't worry. Jianchuan is different from his brothers. He can make his own judgment. He will not be influenced by other people easily."
"Well then. I will not worry about it anymore. Miss Qiqi is just away for military training. I do not hope that everything changes by the time she comes back. She should not always be the one suffering."
"Thank you, Jing Yun. She has me and her father. Nobody in this house will be able to harm her."
Jing Yun had made his message clear, so he left Shen Mansion. His reminder to Grandpa Shen was enough.
Although Grandpa Shen had retired, his mind was still sharp.
So, he did not visit his eldest son all the time. He went to see him only when he had his check-ups.
Although Shen Jianchuan could not speak, he could feel that the gap between Grandpa Shen and the other Shens.
So, when the other family members were not around, he squeezed Grandpa Shen's hand.
Grandpa Shen understood him and said, "Son, you need to be clear of what I am going to tell you. Mu Qiqi has got a twin sister. She looked just like Qiqi but she's a family member of the Mu family."
"That girl used to bully Qiqi. Then, she even tried to join the Shen family."
"She has gone missing recently. I suspect that Junhan is the one hiding her."
"I want you to be clear of this. Qiqi's eyes are clear. She is a good child that is easy to be recognized."
Shen Jianchuan did not know what happened between the Shen family and Rong Junhan. But he could understand why Rong Junhan disliked Mu Qiqi.
And so, he nodded.
"You are a man with a daughter now. Get well fast. Don't be controlled by a woman."
"Rong Junhan has her motive when she takes care of you. You decide on your own whether she really cares for you or not. I will not say much about this."
Shen Jianchuan nodded again. There were many things that he was still trying to figure out. Although he had been unconscious for more than ten years, he did not forget everything.
For instance, how did Su Ziqing get to know that he was getting engaged with the lady of the Rong family that night?
Who had told Su Ziqing about it?
"I will not say anything about it anymore if you know it already. I will bring Qiqi here after she comes back."
Shen Jianchuan looked energized when he heard about Mu Qiqi. His daughter was probably the biggest motivation for him to recover.
...
Meanwhile, Mu Qiqi was running with a weight with her classmates. There were very few girls taking forensic science. And the only few girls who decided on the course made their mind based on their impression from the protagonists in drama series. They thought that being a forensic doctor was cool.
It was in fact cool. But they seemed not to know what they were going to face in the near future.
The most basic ones would be pathology, physiology, and anatomy. In the sophomore year, they would study forensic entomology and learn about insects and other arthropods to help them determine an estimate of how long a person had been deceased.
Mu Qiqi had done a lot of research before she took the course. She had also mentally prepared herself that she might throw up when she first dealt with corpses. Now looking at the other girls who were giggling so happily together, she pitied them.
When they got back to their dormitory at night, Mu Qiqi hid in the bathroom and video chatted with Sheng Xiao. When she knew that he was in Germany, she missed him even more."Xiaoxiao, I cannot sleep when I am not in your arms."
"Deprived of love?" Sheng Xiao replied.
"I don't mean that." Mu Qiqi glared at him.
Sheng Xiao chuckled. He put down the document in his hand and said, "I will record a lullaby for you and send it to you later."
"Then hurry up."
Mu Qiqi hung up the call and waited in the bathroom, squatting. After a while, Sheng Xiao sent her a sound clip.
But when Mu Qiqi listened to it, she laughed. Sheng Xiao was not singing a lullaby, he was singing Two Tigers, a nursery rhyme.
"Qiqi, stop chatting with your boyfriend. I can't hold it anymore."
Hearing her roommate, Mu Qiqi quickly got out of the bathroom holding her mobile phone, satisfied.
"Qiqi, can your boyfriend bear with you being so clingy?" Another roommate asked her while clipping her nails.
"He indeed has a bad temper." But he never got angry with her.
"Why don't you introduce him to us next time."
Introducing the Crown Prince of Huang Yao to them? They would be shocked.
Mu Qiqi shook her head."Next time. When there is a chance."
"Don't be stingy."
Mu Qiqi ignored her. She was in fact being stingy to share Sheng Xiao with anybody. This man belonged to her totally. He could only be hers.
Holding her mobile and listening to Sheng Xiao's Two Tigers, Mu Qiqi fell asleep.
There were five days left. How could time go by so slowly?
Although only two days had passed, Shen Jianchuan had figured out what happened to Mu Qiqi when she was in the Mu family.
He also knew that Rong Junhan had coerced the Shens not to accept Mu Qiqi.
That was his daughter.
Who had the final say on her matters?
