Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 137
Chapter 137: I Am the Daughter of the Shen Family
After the charity banquet, Grandpa Mu and his son took a detour to the police station to visit Papa Mu.
Papa Mu only wanted to meet his father. And he had just one thing to say. When Grandpa Mu picked up the phone, Papa Mu said, “Mu Qiqi told me a secret. Have you heard of it? Mu Tangxue is my daughter. She has no relation with the Shen family.”
“Then…”
“I am willing to see you because I want to tell you this. If Mu Tangxue is humiliated by the Shen family, don’t let her come back to the Mu family. If you dare to accept her, I am not going to let this slide once I am out of here.” Papa Mu threatened Grandpa Mu. “If it was not for her, I will not become like this now.”
Grandpa Mu did not show any particular emotions when he heard him. He shrugged and said, “I don’t even know the person you are talking about. Has she got anything to do with the Mu family?”
“She turned me into this. Of course I won’t let her go!”
“You just stay in the prison and reflect on yourself,” said Grandpa Mu and turned to the door. When he was about to leave, Papa Mu opened his mouth.
“Father, I am sorry.”
Grandpa Mu did not say anything. But his lips twitched. Still, he did not turn around to look at his son before he left the detention center.
What has passed is past. He did not hold a grudge toward Mu Qiqi for being together with Sheng Xiao. After all, the Mu family had mistreated her. Everything happened to the Mu family was a punishment they deserved.
As for Mu Tangxue, as he said, she was no longer a member in the Mu family. Nobody was allowed to mention her name anymore.
Since she was not a Shen, it was only natural for her to be chased out of the Shen family soon.
And he, Grandpa Mu, was waiting for that day to come.
…
By this time, almost everyone in the world knew Mu Tangxue was not a member of the Shen family. Only she herself did not know about it yet.
Since the day Grandpa Shen said that he was going to reveal her identity in the coming weekend, and with Third Aunt’s help, she was now able to have meals with the rest of the family. However, there was no interaction among them.
It was still a great improvement after she had got Third Aunt’s support.
But the Shens still looked down on her and were not talking to her. And of course, she knew they were still consoling Rong Junhan.
“Just now, the old man and those brothers were discussing inviting Eldest Sister to the house and letting you apologize to her. I cannot understand those brothers at all. You have not done anything wrong to her, why are they making you kneel in front of her?” When Third Aunt was free, or, it was better to put it this way, Third Aunt purposely went to Mu Tangxue to tell her the news.
“Thank you, Third Aunt, for telling me this. I will say good things about you in front of Grandpa when I have the chance.”
People of rich families always did things that would only benefit them. Mu Tangxue knew it all along that Third Aunt worked so hard to fawn over her because she wanted to get her son a bright future. Even though Grandpa Shen had retired from the military, he was still a highly respected man in that field.
“Then I shall thank you in advance, Xue’er. And you do not have to be afraid when the woman comes, understand?”
“Thank you, Third Aunt!”
They were making her kneel and apologize? What a joke! What did she do wrong? She could not control her birth. If she were really Shen Jianchuan’s wife, then she would give in. But the problem was, Rong Junhan was just her fiancée. Why should she, the real Shen apologize to an outsider?
It was ridiculous!
No matter how much help Rong Junhan had given to the others, she had done nothing to her.
Why was she suddenly in the wrong now?
It would be great if Mu Qiqi was here. Mu Qiqi was a doormat, of course she would kneel and apologize. But it was impossible to make her do this for her now.
Anyway, Grandpa Shen had not agreed to the suggestion. To be fair, Mu Tangxue should thank Rong Junhan for taking care of Shen Jianchuan for all these years. But it was not appropriate to let her kneel in front of Rong Junhan.
He knew they were trying to pacify Rong Junhan. But he was not going to let them do this.
Soon, Rong Junhan reached the mansion of the Shen family. When she saw Mu Tangxue again, she could not help but start crying all over again.
There were only a few people in the house. Since all the men had gone out for work, only the daughters in law were left. They were ordered by their husbands to take good care of Rong Junhan.
When Grandpa Shen walked into the living room, he took a quick look at everyone and said, “Sit down, everyone. Tangxue, you sit as well.”
“I ask you to come because I want to apologize for not taking into account your feelings about this matter. But I hope you can understand me as the head of the family as well.” Grandpa Shen maintained eye contact with Rong Junhan when he said these.
“I know you have contributed a lot to this family, especially for my son.”
“I have no regret in this life for having you as my daughter-in-law. But it is still a fact that Jianchuan has children. And if we count the days carefully, the twins were conceived before your engagement with Jianchuan. So, Jianchuan did not cheat on you. He was still a free man to do anything before his engagement with you.”
“You should also be more liberal about it, okay?”
Rong Junhan was a proud lady. Even though it was before the engagement, she still could not accept it.
“Now, Tangxue, go and get a cup of tea for Aunt Rong,” ordered Mu Tangxue.
“Yes, Grandpa.”
Mu Tangxue obediently held a cup of tea toward Rong Junhan. But Rong Junhan did not say anything and took the cup and smashed in on the floor. The hot tea splashed onto Mu Tangxue.
Mu Tangxe shrieked and took a few steps back.
Rong Junhan stood up and said, “I am not that easy to be appeased with a cup of tea. Father, I have done so much for everyone in the Shen family. Now that Jianchuan suddenly has a daughter, I cannot accept it no matter what.”
“But,” said Mu Tangxue, “Aunt Rong, it is a fact that my sister and I exist in this world. What can you do about that? I also do not know that we will be born in this kind of situation. Is it my fault? Why should I be blamed by you?”
Rong Junhan glared at Mu Tangxue in disbelief. “Are you talking to me?”
“I…”
“You have no right to talk to me!” Rong Junhan flung a heavy slap onto Mu Tangxue’s face. “Why can’t I blame you? You should go and ask your mother!”
“Junhan, you are too much!” Grandpa Shen stood up and shouted.
“Nobody would even dare to speak to me like this. Does she think that she is the young lady of the Shen family?”
“But I am!” Mu Tangxue covered her cheek with her hand and said firmly, “I am the daughter of the Shen family, and you are just an outsider!”
