Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 739
Chapter 739: Take Revenge However You Like, I Won’t Fight Back
Sheng Xiao walked up to the desk and gently picked up the box to open it. There were three neat rows of wooden bookmarks inside. Each bookmark had been carved into various decorative patterns.
The little one must have put in considerable effort to carve intricate designs instead of typical ones like flowers or trees. She probably thought of it because he had a massive collection of books in his study.
And now, in his hand, was a bookmark so thin, it was like a cicada’s wing.
However, it being so thin meant that the possibility of it being broken was very high, didn’t it?
Sheng Xiao thought about it and gave Xu Che a call. “Come over early tomorrow. There’s something I need you to take care of.”
The great CEO Sheng was going to embalm this gift and then put it in a plastic seal. At the very least, he would be able to treasure the things the little one gave him until he died.
Because of Mu Qiqi’s gift, Sheng Xiao stayed in the study longer than usual. He carefully took out each and every one of them and studied them before putting them away again. Initially, when Old Master Sheng was holding onto the walking stick with fondness, he didn’t understand why. But now? It was his turn.
After that, he returned to the bedroom as if nothing had happened.
Mu Qiqi was already lying on the bed with her back to him.
Sheng Xiao immediately laid down and forced Mu Qiqi to turn over.
“What?” Mu Qiqi asked unhappily.
“I’ve received the gift,” Sheng Xiao said calmly as he hugged her.
“HMPH.” Mu Qiqi snorted. Had she known that she was going to get kissed, she would not have prepared any gift for him.
“Take revenge however you like. I Won’t fight back,” Sheng Xiao promised in her ear.
“Really?” Mu Qiqi looked up in disbelief. However, when she thought about it, it was obvious that this person was pleased by the gift. That was why he was so generous. “I’ll hold you to that today and settle the score with you later. Tonight, my lips really hurt so much that I can’t stand it. They’re burning.”
Sheng Xiao lowered his head and hooked his arm around her chin to take a look. It was true.
Hence, he immediately got out of bed and found some anti-inflammatory medicine to apply. “If you say such heartless words in the future, I’ll still punish you like this.”
After Mu Qiqi heard this, she immediately turned her back to him.
Sheng Xiao hugged her from behind and comforted her softly. “You’ve been acting spoiled and throwing a tantrum all this time. Isn’t that enough? I can’t do anything to you…”
..
At night, Grandpa Gu went home. When he saw Gu Ziling and his daughter sitting on the sofa with gloomy expressions, he could guess why.
“I see your faces like this the moment I get home. Are you trying to make me feel bad?”
“Grandpa… What happened with the Sheng family today…” Gu Ziling immediately wanted to explain. She didn’t want Grandpa Gu to lose his love for Sheng Kai.
However, she was interrupted by Grandpa Gu.
“Where’s Sheng Kai?” He asked, “Why don’t I see him?”
“He’s been in the garden all day. He doesn’t have the face to come in,” Gu Ziling answered with tears in her eyes.
“B*stard. No matter what, he’s still your husband. Did you lock your own husband out?” Grandpa Gu blamed Gu Ziling. “A man’s dignity isn’t something to be trampled by you like this. You’ll only make him more depressed.”
“But Grandpa, you saw what happened today. He really doesn’t have the ability or the means to deal with the Sheng family. What hope do I have?” Gu Ziling cried, “You know that I like a capable man. I only want the strongest husband.”
“You have to understand that you’re married. Your husband can be a coward, but you can’t marry me a second time.”
“Grandpa!”
“Go and get him in,” Grandpa Gu ordered sternly.
Gu Ziling wiped her tears as she walked unwillingly toward the garden.
A moment later, Sheng Kai entered the living room. When he saw Grandpa Gu, he didn’t have enough confidence to face him. He felt that he hadn’t met Grandpa Gu’s expectations at all.
“If things aren’t done well, that’s a man’s business. You shouldn’t be trampled on by a woman. Sheng Kai, although my granddaughter is mine, if you can’t even deal with her, how are you going to deal with the Sheng Family? It’ll be impossible.
“I want to hear the reason for the plan’s failure now. Tell me the main reason.”
Sheng Kai had thought about it in the garden the whole day. In addition, the humiliation Gu Ziling had given him today was really unbearable, so he was in a desperate position. “In the previous plan, only Third Master Long and a spy were involved. The thing had been successfully sent to Huang Yao and no one noticed it. But Ziling said that she wanted to deal with Hu Ran and asked me to arrange for Hu Ran and the Sheng family to kill each other. However, she had exposed too much in front of Hu Ran and Sheng Xiao found out about the plan.”
Upon hearing Sheng Kai’s explanation, Gu Ziling pointed at him and shouted, “Aren’t you being too shameless?”
“You heard it too. At the banquet today, Mu Qiqi said the same thing. You shouldn’t have joined the plan at all, much less tried to use and humiliate Hu Ran for your own selfish desires.”
“Isn’t taking revenge on the Sheng family your own selfish desires?” Gu Ziling laughed out loud. “Let me tell you, Sheng Kai, without me, you’re nothing. There’s even less of a chance for you to take revenge on the Sheng family!”
After Grandpa Gu heard this, he reached out his hand to stop Gu Ziling. “Ziling, go back to your room.”
“Grandpa…”
“The problem is you. You don’t realize your mistake at all. Woman, don’t try to be so strong. If you are too strong, how will Ah Kai grow up?”
Gu Ziling looked at her grandfather in disbelief because she really didn’t expect him to actually side with her husband.
“I’ll go, I’ll go.”
Gu Ziling ran away while crying and shouting.
Mama Gu followed Gu Ziling. Grandpa Gu then said to Sheng Kai earnestly, “I shouldn’t be the one to teach you how to educate women. However, you’ve spoiled Ziling too much. Women shouldn’t interfere in men’s matters.”
“But…”
Sheng Kai had never expected this man in front of him to actually stand on his side instead of helping his granddaughter to humiliate him.
“Your godfather is still very satisfied with you and isn’t disappointed in you. So, learn well. One day, you’ll be able to achieve your goal.”
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
“Now go back to your room and control your woman well. Don’t let her ruin your plans anymore.”
Sheng Kai felt that this old man’s attitude was really a little strange.
Gu Ziling was his biological granddaughter.
No matter what, he did not lose Grandpa Gu’s support, which meant that he was not in too desperate a situation.
Plus, he got Grandpa Gu’s permission to teach Gu Ziling a lesson. He wanted him to teach his woman, didn’t he?
Grandpa Gu was right. He shouldn’t have given in to Gu Ziling from the start!
It was time to settle scores with Gu Ziling!
