Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

So, the two planned to use this incident to let Hu Ran return to normal. Of course, whether it was the Sheng family or the Hu family, things would change drastically.

After making up their mind, Hu Ran fell asleep on the hospital bed.

Compared to Sheng Mansion and Hu Mansion, she felt that the bed in the hospital was more comfortable.

The next day, the doctor had identified all the allergens Hu Ran was allergic to, so that they could take precautions in the future.

At nine o’clock, Gu Ziling came to visit Hu Ran. She brought along the servants of the Sheng family. Meanwhile, Hu Ran was resting with her eyes closed. She had no intention to acknowledge Gu Ziling’s presence.

Of course, Gu Ziling could not sense anything special with Hu Ran who now looked sick and weak. So she said to Third Brother, “You still need to go to work. I can take care of Sister-in-law.”

“It is not necessary. Xiao Ran can already get out of the bed. We will go home on our own later.” Third Brother said calmly.

“Are you really not angry with me for this?”

“I really had no intention at all to compete with Second Brother. But your actions have made me feel that there is a need for me to take action, so that I will not waste your effort.” Third Brother smirked.

“Can you?”

“Don’t forget I have Eighth Brother to back me up. If you make me too anxious, we can just face doom together,” shouted Third Brother, “Besides, I really have to thank you, Second Sister-in-law.”

Gu Ziling frowned. She could not understand what he meant by that.

Of course, he would not explain to her yet.

He quickly settled the discharge procedure and brought Hu Ran home.

Hu Ran would not simply tell the Shengs and the Hus that she had recovered. She wanted to wait for everyone before she put on the best performance.

So, Third Brother called his father-in-law to invite him over for dinner.

Grandpa Sheng did not know what he was up to, so he just let the kitchen to prepare a good feast for that night.

Gu Ziling thought that Third Brother was just planning to complain again like an elementary child. So, she was unconcerned about it totally. After all, even Hu Ran did not know that she was allergic to honey herself.

Nevertheless, Gu Ziling had no idea that her move had led to the birth of a very strong opponent.

In fact, Gu Ziling always thought that she would be able to compete with Mu Qiqi. Although they did not have much opportunity to stand face-to-face with each other, Mu Qiqi was always the person she wanted very much to win against.

However, Xiao Qi hated the competition among the ladies the most. It was not that she did not know how, she just did not care.

When Mu Qiqi had the time to do so, she had rather used the time to help her professor to solve more cases. She was obviously different from the ladies like Gu Ziling who were always pursuing the feeling of superiority.

Hence, she was indifferent toward Gu Ziling. But now, this slut was torturing Third Brother constantly.

She thought that she should not waste her chance to teach Gu Ziling a lesson. So, instead of just making an appearance at the charity dinner, Mu Qiqi decided to change her plan. She thought she should dress up and amaze everyone when she arrived at the venue.

She was Sheng Xiao’s woman anyway. She deserved the praises and admiration from others.

The charity dinner would be held in four more days. But Lin Mu’an purposely planned his proposal one night before the charity dinner. Perhaps it was because he wanted to cheer for Lu Qianqian that he chose to do it that night.

Good things seemed to happen one after another.

Unfortunately, she was not in the Sheng family. Otherwise, she would be able to defeat Gu Ziling in minutes.

For this, Mu Qiqi made a call to Sheng Xiao. “Xiaoxiao, get me the prettiest dress. I want to give Gu Ziling a good slap on her face.”

“I thought you asking me for a dress is to marry me abroad.”

“Are you still thinking about that?”

“Uh-huh.” Sheng Xiao responded naturally.

“I have told you that I believe in our relationship.”

“But I’m getting old…” said Sheng Xiao slyly, “You are just twenty, but I’m already twenty-eight. It is safer for me to put your name in the family register.”

“But… you haven’t even proposed.” Mu Qiqi pouted.

“Are you refusing to marry me?”

“Nobody proposes like you.” Mu Qiqi was helpless. “I mean, although I am very much willing to marry you. But, you know, all girls like to be proposed to as it’s tradition.”

“Understood.” Sheng Xiao hung up after throwing a word to her.

Mu Qiqi stared at the phone for a while. What had he understood?

Feng Shanshan saw her staring blankly into space, so she nudged her. “Come back now. Do you know what the police have found out about the case? The dead baby is the man’s son. It was another woman who carried the child for him. Apparently, after the death of his wife, he did not give up on having a son. So, he got himself another woman.”

“Why was he so obsessed about having a son?” Mu Qiqi sighed. “What then?”

“Unfortunately, this woman had complications in carrying a baby. So when she was in her seventh month, she found out that her life was in danger. At that time, her family requested the hospital to help her to abort the child. However, knowing that it was a son, the man did not allow it. And he even locked the woman up. After that, the son was born and the woman almost lost her life. She became crazy.”

“Have they found out who the murderer was?”

“The woman’s family members were involved in this. Her brothers and parents. They were covering for each other.”

Mu Qiqi sighed once more. “I don’t know why. Whenever I participate in a case, I will feel exhausted. Although as a forensic doctor I should not have personal thoughts on the matter, I just wanted to share with you that I think he died unjustly.”

“As forensic doctors, we have to carry out our duties. We can’t do anything about such things.” Feng Shanshan took off her white lab coat and left the forensic laboratory.

Although they had little interaction on the campus, they had become the best partners in the forensic laboratory.

Mu Qiqi looked at the body that she used to be afraid of. But suddenly, she did not find it that frightening anymore.

…

It was six o’clock in the evening.

Papa Lu arrived at Sheng Mansion. And Grandpa Sheng welcomed his in-law with open arms.

“I wonder if Bowen has anything important to tell me that he asked me to come.”

Sheng Bowen was Third Brother’s name. Compared to Sheng Xiao and Sheng Kai, he lived up to his name as a loyal, honest and warm person. (T/N Bowen roughly translates to rich in character)

“I have no idea what that kid was up to as well. We will know when he comes,” said Grandpa Sheng, “Please sit at the main seat, Chairman Hu.”

The other Shengs were seated shortly after. Right then, Third Brother helped Hu Ran into the living room.

“Xiao Ran, you are here.” Papa Hu was delighted when he saw his daughter.

“You two, come and sit here,” shouted Grandpa Sheng.

However, Hu Ran did not sit down. She walked straight to her father and uttered clearly, “Father.”

Papa Hu felt strange, but he did not know why. “Okay, Xiao Ran. Go and sit down.”

“I’ve recovered.”
