Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 295

Chapter 295: Looking at Me the Way a Mouse Sees a Cat

Sheng Minglan would come. But it would just before the engagement ceremony started.

After Sheng Minghui spread the rumors about Sheng Minglan, she became more confident and stood beside Will. After all, when people talked behind her back, she would feel embarrassed.

Soon, the rumors had reached Grandpa Sheng’s ears. After he heard it, his face darkened. His gaze became fiercer when he looked at Sheng Minghui. If it was not because of the guests, he would just turn around and left for good.

He thought that Sheng Minghui would feel guilty for stealing Sheng Minglan’s fiancé. He thought that she would be more respectful toward Sheng Minglan. But he had never expected that she would do such a thing to her own cousin.

“Grandpa… what’s wrong?” Sheng Minghui saw the changes on Grandpa Sheng’s face so she asked him, pretending as if nothing happened.

Grandpa Sheng did not say anything. He just turned around and walked to the place where the guests had gathered.

Because Sheng Minghui was sure that Grandpa Sheng would not quarrel with her amid this big ceremony.

So, after the ceremony, she could just think of another explanation for her action. She knew very clearly what Grandpa Sheng’s weakness was.

She made use of the advantage that Sheng Minglan was not here. And nobody would defend her. On this kind of occasion, how could it be explained?

But when Sheng Minghui was secretly indulging in her happiness, she saw Sheng Minglan standing at the entrance of the hotel. She was wearing a sleek black long dress.

Sheng Minglan was as if she intentionally chose that color. Because Sheng Minghui’s dress was white. And when Sheng Minglan was in her long black dress, she did not look gentle like she used to. Her aura changed totally. Now, Sheng Minglan was not like her usual self when she was in Sheng Mansion. She was no longer the obedient Fourth Sister anymore. At this very moment, Sheng Minglan and Sheng Minghui looked like a demon and an angel.

“Fourth Sister is here…” Mu Qiqi was surprised when she saw Sheng Minglan. She gave off the aura of a queen. With her black long dress and dazzling red lips, she looked powerful.

When the guests realized that Sheng Minglan was here, they could not predict how the ceremony would turn out to be.

The wound on Sheng Minglan’s hand was apparent. Although she had covered her hand with a thin black scarf, the cut was still visible to them.

Wasn’t it going to be very interesting?

Sheng Minghui did not expect that Sheng Minglan could be this forgiving and really came to the engagement ceremony.

Will and Grandpa Sheng were equally surprised by her arrival. When they saw her, they were stunned.

Then, Mama Sheng walked toward Sheng Minglan and brought her to one side. “Minglan, you…”

“I am fine, Eldest Aunt,” said Sheng Minglan calmly. “It is a big event for the Sheng family, how could I be absent?”

But…

Now, the whole crowd was talking about Sheng Minglan screwing about and was rejected because of that. It was fine when she was not here, because she didn’t hear it. But now that she was here, the rumors would surely reach her ears. Wasn’t it another big blow to her?

“Minglan, actually we can understand if you don’t come.”

“Eldest Aunt, I am not as fragile as you imagine,” said Sheng Minglan to Mama Sheng. Then, she nonchalantly walked toward Grandpa Sheng and Sheng Minghui. “Congratulations, Seventh Sister.”

Sheng Minghui’s palms were getting sweaty. She dared to spread all those rumors because Sheng Minglan was not here. But now…

Sheng Minglan was standing right in front of her!

“Thank you, Fourth Sister.” Sheng Minghui’s face looked awful.

“Fourth Sister, you can just rest at home. I didn’t force you to come.”

“It’s Seventh Sister’s engagement ceremony. As her cousin, I should come and explain the mistake on the invitation card. My words would be more convincing. Don’t you think so?”

But it was not just about the invitation anymore.

Grandpa Sheng looked very sick as well.

“The ceremony is about to start. We will talk about it later. You should stay with Sheng Xiao for now.”

Why was Grandpa Sheng not letting her entertain the guests but to stay with Sheng Xiao?

What was the reason?

Sheng Minglan glanced at Sheng Minghui. “Okay, I will go now.”

Actually, Sheng Minghui was very nervous. She was scared that Sheng Minglan would hear the rumors. At that moment, she had only one thing in her mind, that was to start the ceremony as soon as possible.

Sheng Minglan walked to Mu Qiqi and asked, “What’s wrong with Sheng Minghui? Looking at me the way a mouse sees a cat.”

“Of course, she has done something wrong again,” said Sheng Xiao casually.

“What do you mean?”

“The guests were guessing that she is the one who snatched your fiancé. But in order to clear her name, she told them that it is you who is improper, so you were rejected.” Mu Qiqi explained further. “Now all the guests think that you are caught having an affair, so your engagement to the man is cancelled.”

Sheng Minglan laughed after hearing what Mu Qiqi said. “No wonder she was sweating when she saw me. Now I understand why Grandpa told me to stay with you instead of entertaining the guests.”

“What is your plan, Fourth Sister?”

“It is her big day today. But, I will not tolerate her when she humiliates me. Just wait and see.”

Sheng Minglan did not express her anger immediately. And she did not tell them what she was planning to do.

Sometimes, when people are in a rage, thousands of ways to get revenge would surface in their minds. Now, she was deciding how she wanted to let Seventh Sister pay the price.

Before the event started, Grandpa Sheng led the guests into the main hall. Then, he took some time to drag Sheng Minglan to one side. “Minglan…”

“What do you want to say, Grandpa? Are you going to tell me to bear with it for the sake of the family?” Sheng Minglan asked Grandpa Sheng.

Grandpa Sheng took a deep breath. He said helplessly, “Just bear with it until tonight.”

Sheng Minglan did not say anything. She walked around Grandpa Sheng. When they were standing back to back, she said, “Grandpa, this was the second time you chose to sacrifice me.”

“Minglan…”

“Do you think I will still believe in you?”

Grandpa Sheng was stunned. But, when he turned around, Sheng Minglan was no longer to be seen.

Grandpa Sheng felt guilty. He thought that he owed Sheng Minglan a lot…

More importantly, he did not know what Sheng Minglan would do later. So, he could only be on high alert. Even if the secret was revealed, Sheng Minghui deserved it.

Since she had got what she wanted, she should just stop. However, not only that she did not stop, she kept on challenging Sheng Minglan to her limit!

It seemed like the engagement ceremony was not going to end peacefully.

However, he was the head of the Sheng family. So, he must ensure the benefits for the Sheng family for everything he did. Therefore, when he entered the main hall, the first thing he did was to get the security guards to keep an eye on Sheng Minglan. And when the time was right, they should lock her in a place until the event was over.
