Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 257
Chapter 257: He’s Also a Man Who You Cannot Annoy
“Then, I’ll let you look at me more.” Mu Qiqi smiled brightly.
Sheng Xiao held Mu Qiqi’s hand tightly subconsciously. Then, they got into the white car and went to the banquet hall of the engagement. They were going to have the first and the most important ceremony in their life there.
After that, the Shen family reached the hotel too. The place where the engagement was held was the lawn behind the hotel and it could take up at least ten thousand people.
At first, Su Zipei was going to attend the engagement with the Shen family. But, she felt some tummy discomfort before she left home. It frightened Lu Wenhua so he immediately sent her to the hospital for a body checkup.
The guests arrived at the place. But, they were just like strangers to Mu Qiqi. However, the one she had chosen was the man beside her.

At the same time, Shen Ruoyi was dressing up in front of the mirror.
Mu Qiqi was going to be engaged. As her cousin, she definitely needed to attend the ceremony.
Shen Ruoyi hated Mu Qiqi deeply. Certainly, she wanted to humiliate her no matter what happened.
***
Both Mama Sheng and Fourth Sister went to the hotel in advance to greet the guests. But, Grandpa Sheng was still nowhere to be found. At that moment, the others could almost foresee what would happen. It seemed like that stubborn old man would not attend his grandson’s engagement intentionally. It was because Sheng Xiao had made a scene one night just before the engagement.
When the others inquired about Grandpa Sheng, Mama Sheng could only tell them that Grandpa Sheng was not feeling well. He would only attend the ceremony after taking a rest.
By the way, Sheng Xiao was the Crown Prince of Huang Yao and he was Grandpa Sheng’s most adored grandson. Certainly, he would attend Sheng Xiao’s engagement.
The others who were smart realized that Grandpa Sheng might not favor the little bride given what was happening now.
When the Shen family heard that, it was not a pleasant feeling.
“Xiao Qin, what’s wrong with Grandpa Sheng? Is he feeling unwell?” Grandpa Shen asked Mama Sheng. “There are a lot of guests today. If Grandpa Sheng is absent from today’s ceremony, how could Qiqi face the others in the future?”
“Old Shen, Dad will come later. Don’t worry.” Mama Sheng replied to Grandpa Shen. “Today is Sheng Xiao and Qiqi’s big day. As Sheng Xiao’s grandpa, he’ll definitely come.”
Grandpa Shen’s facial expression worsened. He might have heard some bad rumors and that was why he came to inquire about it. If they were against the engagement, they should be frank about it at the beginning. Why did they act like that after they had agreed to it? What did it mean?
Both families were close friends. Did they have to argue because of these small affairs?
Mama Sheng was calm. It was because Sheng Xiao told her beforehand that Grandpa Sheng would definitely attend the ceremony. She believed in her son. “Grandpa Shen, you don’t have to worry about it.”
Grandpa Shen took a deep breath and went to greet his old comrades among the guests. A lot of privileged guests came that day. It was because he wanted to give the best to Mu Qiqi, showing how important she was to them.
***
It was now ten o’clock in the morning. But, Grandpa Sheng was still nowhere to be seen. The guests there told that news to Seventh Sister. Seventh Sister felt quite smug about it. “Although Grandpa adores Sheng Xiao the most, I still belong to the Sheng family. Sheng Xiao treated me unfairly yesterday just because of an outsider. Certainly, Grandpa will side with me.”
“Now, the rumors have spread. Grandpa Sheng is absent because he’s not satisfied with this little bride.”
“Of course. Help me to spread the rumor too. I just want to see how humiliated the Shen family will be today.” Seventh Sister sat in the living room of the Sheng family. She laughed coldly while talking on the phone.
“Don’t worry. It’s nothing much.”
There were indeed a lot of guests. Moreover, Mu Qiqi was a controversial person to them. It was just too easy if they wanted to create rumors about her.
Soon, Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi appeared at the entrance of the hotel. Before they entered the lawn, Mama Sheng told Sheng Xiao secretly, “Your grandpa is still nowhere to be seen.”
“He’ll come…” Sheng Xiao then looked down at Mu Qiqi. “Are you ready, my little wife…”
“Certainly, my fiancé.” Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao firmly. Then, she held his arm tightly.
After that, Sheng Xiao appeared with Mu Qiqi. A few hundred people started screaming at that moment. White balloons with fresh flowers were released at the same time and soon the place was surrounded with them.
They were a dazzling couple. Mu Qiqi was even a young little bride. So, the cheers became louder.
Mu Qiqi walked with her head held high. She was not afraid at all, facing that kind of crowd. She stood beside Sheng Xiao as she knew that Xiaoxiao was all she had at that moment.
They walked through the white wedding arch which was covered with fresh flowers. Then, they came to stand before the stage. The engagement ceremony would be held at 10.48 a.m. sharply.
But, Grandpa Sheng was still nowhere to be seen.
The guest rushed toward the couple as they wanted to take photographs with them to keep as memories. But, it did not stop them from gossiping.
“Grandpa Sheng didn’t attend today’s ceremony. Certainly, no one will approve of today’s ceremony no matter how grand it is.”
“That little bride is no common girl. I heard that the Crown Prince took her under his wing before. But, she soon shares an intimate relationship with the Crown Prince. It’s nice being young! You can use it to your advantage.”
“How could she get what she wants today if she didn’t make use of her youth and beauty?”
“Don’t be silly. She comes from the Shen family no matter how bad the situation is….”
“It seems ridiculous just because she comes from the Shen family. The Crown Prince is her uncle. How could the uncle marry his niece?”
The rumors engulfed them. The Shen family could take it no more.
Especially Shen Jianchuan.
“Oh, have you seen the man who’s sitting in the wheelchair? He’s Young Master Shen and he has been a vegetable for ten years. He woke up just recently and he’s that little bride’s father.”
“It’s quite interesting. That pair of twins share the same mother but different fathers. How complicated is that!”
“But, the Shen family has a military background. Just take a look at them. All of them are wearing military uniforms. Certainly, they’re Grandpa Shen’s old comrades.”
Unfortunately, Lin Mu’an was among the crowd. He had heard what they were saying. Furthermore, he remembered what Lu Qianqian had asked him to do. If anybody was trying to embarrass Mu Qiqi during the ceremony, he needed to help Mu Qiqi to tackle them.
So, Lin Mu’an held his glass of champagne and went toward the two beautiful ladies. “Why do you like to gossip so much when you’re attending an engagement ceremony?
“You have not even a chance even if Mu Qiqi is not approved by Grandpa Sheng.”
The two ladies took a glance at Lin Mu’an and retreated a few steps. “Let’s go. He’s the young master from the Lin family.
“He’s also a man whom you cannot annoy!”
Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao were preparing for the ceremony on the stage. On the other hand, some people started to gossip about them down the stage. So, Lu Qianqian was reluctant to attend the ceremony for fear that she might create a scene there.
Lin Mu’an sneered coldly. Suddenly, he exclaimed at how cruel the elders were, including his own grandpa and Grandpa Sheng…
They showed no mercy in their hearts.
Even the Crown Prince was unable to force his grandpa to attend the ceremony.
Sheng Xiao was standing on the stage. Certainly, he knew what the others were thinking. It happened because they did not meet Grandpa Sheng there.
But, a helicopter appeared at that moment. It landed on the lawn. Soon, a young male foreigner emerged from the helicopter with bodyguards along with him. The bodyguards were armed with real guns too.
Sheng Xiao smiled softly for he knew that the special guest had come…
