Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 276

Chapter 276: He Is a Smart One

The three were having a heated discussion about the mission. But the main person involved in the matter was still kept in the dark.

“I will take full responsibility for my woman. You just have to focus on your engagement for now. You don’t have to worry about the rest.” Sheng Xiao reminded Sheng Minglan not to get distracted. Since Grandpa Sheng wanted to embarrass Qi’er so much, then he would let him have the opposite.

In fact, he also wanted to know what idea the little one could think of with her little brain.

Sheng Xiao had never intervened in the matters of the planning department. He seldom asked about the events of Huang Yao. He just attended them. As for the banquet for the VVIPs, he knew the planning team kept on changing because unpleasant issues kept happening every year. It seemed like fighting had become a tradition for the night.

No wonder Papa Sheng wanted to go with the usual plan to lower the risk.

“Since you are so confident in it, then I will look forward to it.”

“I am afraid the little one would explode when she knows about this.”

The three couldn’t help but laughed. Sheng Minglan was so envious of the relationship between Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi. Although they were eight years apart and had an uncle-niece relationship, they were never stopped by anything. When they loved, they saw each other as their lives.

After breakfast, Sheng Minglan and Jing Yun left Jing Ting. Only then did Mu Qiqi wake up lazily.

Sheng Xiao started to chuckle as soon as he saw her coming downstairs. He did not stop until she sat at the table.

Mu Qiqi looked at him, puzzled. “Are you planning to play tricks on me again?”

“Not me. Someone else.”

Sheng Xiao said and laughed again. Mu Qiqi was even more curious now.

“I will tell you after you finish eating.”

…

On the same day, all the Shengs knew about it too. They all thought that Grandpa Sheng must have gone mad letting the girl who knew nothing handle the trouble. It was just the same as turning Huang Yao into a joke that everyone would laugh at.

Sheng Minghui went to the courtyard to look for Grandpa Sheng. “Grandpa, didn’t you say that you will not let Mu Qiqi join the Sheng family for real. But why are you…”

“I am doing this for you.” Grandpa Sheng took a sip of his coffee. “If Mu Qiqi’s plan works well, then the credit will be all yours. So, you should just sit and watch.”

“She will not succeed.”

“Don’t forget that she has Sheng Xiao. Sheng Xiao never cares about the matters in the planning department. But I am sure this time he will.” Grandpa Sheng pushed up his eyeglasses and looked at his granddaughter. “If the event is successful, you will be able to join Huang Yao with this credit.”

Sheng Minghui changed into a flattering tone when she heard this. “Grandpa, I know you are the best to me.”

“So don’t mess with Mu Qiqi this time.”

As Sheng Minghui was about to respond, Jing Yun and Sheng Minglan came back from outside. Sheng Minghui started to get suspicious again. “Grandpa, why is Fourth Sister with Sheng Xiao’s assistant all the time? She is going to get engaged soon. If there are scandals, things will be bad.”

“She was in Jing Ting last night. So Sheng Xiao must have asked Jing Yun to send her back. Why are your thoughts so complicated?” Grandpa Sheng harrumphed.

“I am just concerned about her reputation.”

“I don’t expect you to be like Sheng Xiao. Even if you are just half as capable as Jing Yun, I will not worry anymore.”

Anyway, Grandpa Sheng still went to Jing Yun afterward. “I saw you coming back with Minglan together just now. What happened?”

“Young Master called me and asked me to fetch Miss Minglan. She had wine last night so she could not drive.”

“Well.” Grandpa Sheng was satisfied with Jing Yun’s explanation. It was just as he expected. “Off you go then. But Minglan’s engagement is around the corner, so you must keep a distance from each other. After all, your identities are different.”

“Yes, Chairman.” Jing Yun nodded.

Different identities. Even if it was just because of this, Jing Yun would try his best to restrain himself. He just hoped that Sheng Minglan could be happy. He was willing to do anything for her.

…

On the other hand, Mu Qiqi exploded when she knew that she was given the “big task”.

“Are you saying that your grandfather is letting me who is learning about autopsy to handle an event of Huang Yao?” Mu Qiqi pointed her finger to herself and confirmed it again. “Has he lost his mind?”

“No. In fact, he is a smart one.” Sheng Xiao chuckled.

“Then why don’t you stop him?”

Sheng Xiao was kissing her hair while comforting her. “Now that the whole family know about it, how could he go back on his word? And it is only natural to make you, my fiancée, take part in the matter of Huang Yao. Besides, you are going to have your semester break soon. Since you have time, just consider it an internship.”

“I am a forensic science student who cuts bodies. I don’t need such an internship.”

“Just try.” Sheng Xiao insisted.

“Why do I smell something fishy?” Mu Qiqi still felt a little concerned. “Anyway, I will try since you let me. But let me remind you, don’t blame me if I fail.”

“Grandpa Sheng is going to if you fail.”

Mu Qiqi turned to him. Before she glared at him, he said, “But I will not let him have the chance.”

That’s better.

“Get me the information in need. I will try to figure out a plan after completing my assignments. Grandpa Sheng just wants to humiliate me. What’s the big deal?”

So, Mu Qiqi had accepted the challenge.

Because she really wanted to prove to Grandpa Sheng and the Shengs her ability and compatibility with Xiaoxiao. But she did not know that Grandpa Sheng was using her to pave a way for his granddaughter. He simply wanted to use her and humiliate her. He had no intention whatsoever pf acknowledging her.

In other words, she was merely a cat’s paw.

“By the way, I have something to tell you. I think that Fourth Sister likes Jing Yun…”

At that moment, Sheng Minglan was in the office of her new company. She had asked her lawyer to investigate the source of the fund for the card given by Mu Qiqi. After a few hours, he got an answer.”

“Miss Sheng, the owner of this card is not the crown prince.”

“What do you mean?”

“The owner is called Zhao Lin. But I cannot find out anything about this Zhao Lin. So, I am worried that the funds is not clean,” said the lawyer to Sheng Minglan. “I think it is better for you to ask the crown prince again.”

Sheng Minglan nodded and called Sheng Xiao. “Sheng Xiao, who is Zhao Lin?”

“Huh?”

“You let Qiqi give me the gold card. The owner of the card is called Zhao Lin. Now tell me honestly. Whose money is this?” Sheng Minglan sensed something was not right.

“Are you sure you want to know?” Sheng Xiao smiled.
