Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 477

Chapter 477: How could she bear this?

After Lu Qianqian had taken over Lu Holdings officially, he wanted to propose to her formally.

He planned to carry the burden of being Lu Qianqian’s fiancé officially!

…

Apparently, Lin Mu’an was not the only one who had a sleepless night that day.

In Sheng Mansion, Hu Ran and Third Brother had a deep and long conversation. They almost did not get any sleep.

They talk about everything, to get to know each other better, and to improve their relationship.

Since they were people with the same fate, they could empathize with each other.

However, soon, Gu Ziling knocked on their door. “Third Brother, Grandfather asks you to go to the living room.”

Third Brother went to the bathroom to wash up quickly. Then, he exchanged glances with Hu Ran.

Hu Ran understood him. They were going to deal with Gu Ziling today.

Third Brother went to the living room as ordered by Old Sheng. Old Sheng was sitting in the main seat, looking rather gloomy. “I have found your parents. They are on their way back. I just want to ask you how should I handle these two people? Third Brother, you should know that I detest betrayal.”

“You can do anything you want with them as you deem fit, Grandfather. Although they are my parents, they are also your son and your daughter-in-law.” Third Brother reminded Old Sheng. “I can still remember the big fire in Jingting. Perhaps you should remember it better than me?”

“Don’t you think I will not dare to touch them.”

“Grandfather, before you do, can you answer me a few questions? Why must you be so cruel to your own son? How could you ignore him when he called for help? Just because I am close to Eighth Brother? You should know why my parents ran away. The Middle East is a bloody place. You said that my parents betrayed the Sheng family. Why? Because you asked them to die.”

Old Sheng was enraged as he heard it. “How do you even know about this? Who told you?”

“You don’t have to know how I got to know about this. I just know that you want to force your son and your daughter-in-law to death.”

Old Sheng was dumbfounded. Only Sheng Kai and Gu Ziling knew about this.

His parents did call him. But they were not asking for help. Why had it become as if he was harming his son when Third Brother heard about it?

Gu Ziling looked sick.

She did not expect that Third Brother would be so stupid and nearly exposed her.

Right at the moment, Hu Ran walked out of her room. When she saw Third Brother kneeling, she rushed to him and hugged him. “You’re bullying my Third Brother again! You all are bad people. Baddies!”

“Xiao Ran, Grandfather is just talking to your Third Brother.”

“Hmph, I don’t trust you. Every time that sister comes to pass a message, nothing good comes out of it.” Hu Ran pinpointed at Gu Ziling in front of everyone. “Grandfather is not a good person. That sister said that Third Brother’s parents called, but you did not let them come back. You want them to stay in a very dangerous place!”

Old Sheng’s face turned green. He shouted at Gu Ziling at once. “Ziling, is it you who told Third Brother about this?”

“Hmph, it’s her.” Hu Ran said childishly.

Gu Ziling’s heart was racing. She quickly walked to Old Sheng. “I dare not, Grandfather.”

“How did you tell Third Brother about this?”

Gu Ziling hesitated and gulped. “I just said that…”

“She said it like this. ‘Actually, your parents called yesterday afternoon. They asked Grandfather if they could retreat from the Middle East because the situation there is really dangerous. But your grandfather did not agree to it.'” Hu Ran purposely imitated Gu Ziling’s tone.

“No, it’s not like that. Grandfather, Sister-in-law has wronged me. How can a child like her remember so well?”

“You’re wrong. Just because Xiao Ran is like a child, her words are more convincing. A child is the best imitator,” said Old Sheng, “Why did you gossip in front of Third Brother?”

“I…”

“So, did my parents call for help?” Third Brother took the chance to clarify the matter.

“They did call. But they were just asking for more funds. They did not mention anything about danger!” said Old Sheng, “I know it is dangerous there. But the person-in-charge there insisted on meeting with a Sheng. That was why I sent them there.”

“But they did steal the funds and flee. So, they are not as innocent as you think. No wonder Third Brother’s grievance against me is rising these days and the gap between is getting wider and wider. I thought it is because he has formed an alliance with Eighth Brother. I have not expected that you will be the culprit behind it.” Old Sheng stared at Gu Ziling fiercely. “Does it hurt you when you see Third Brother having a good life?”

“Grandfather, I misunderstood it. They are Third Brother’s parents after all. I will never hope to see them being harmed.”

“Does this mean that you can gossip in front of Third Brother and sow discord between us? Gu Ziling, you have been married into the Sheng family for so long. Have I treated you badly in any way? You are the one who takes care of the family, but why can’t you see us living in harmony?”

Gu Ziling was shocked and knelt in front of him. “Grandfather, I must have lost my mind. I will not do it again.”

“Hmph, you bully Third Brother and you bully me. You call me a fool. Don’t think I don’t know about this. Hmph, everyone in this house is so weird. You all bully me and Third Brother. I want to go home.” Hu Ran cried loudly in the middle of the room.

Old Sheng gave Gu Ziling a fierce look and ordered, “From now on, don’t go near Third Brother and Xiao Ran. Just do your duty.”

“Yes, Grandfather.”

“And you, Third Brother. Stand up. Since it is a misunderstanding, will you still be angry with me?”

“I still hope that you will not harm my parents,” said Third Brother in a pitiful manner.

Old Sheng sighed. His heart softened. “I have never thought to harm them for real. I will just be strict with them in the future.”

“Thank you, Grandfather.”

The two had exposed Gu Ziling in front of Old Sheng to make him blame all the grievances between Old Sheng and Third Brother on Gu Ziling’s provocation. In this way, Old Sheng would not be so strict to Third Brother again.

Moreover, Third Brother had complied and married Hu Ran.

From today onward, his situation would improve. It would not be that difficult anymore.

However, they had offended Gu Ziling. They had made her suffer a big loss in front of Old Sheng.

But if it was not because of her, the relationship between Old Sheng and Third Brother would not turn this bad. They did so to make Old Sheng not trust Gu Ziling so much.

Gu Ziling was very angry about this. She had told Third Brother this out of kindness. Yet Third Brother fought against her using this?

How could she bear this? Moreover, how dare the mentally-challenged woman provoke her?
