Mu Qiqi nodded. She knew what Sheng Xiao was thinking about. Now that the Shens were rejecting her, if they knew that she had a romantic relationship with Sheng Xiao, they would definitely do all sorts of things to separate them. After all, there was a gap between them in terms of seniority.

After dinner, Sheng Xiao sent Mu Qiqi to the hospital. Huang Yu, who was also known as Second Aunt was in the hospital with Rong Junhan as well. When they saw Mu Qiqi make her appearance at the door of the ward, they looked extremely displeased. However, they did not stop her since it would only be a meaningless effort.

Huang Yu was telling Shen Jianchuan about Mu Qiqi rude behavior just a moment ago. Now that the person she was talking about was here, she felt a bit awkward as if she was caught red-handed.

Mu Qiqi sensed the atmosphere in the ward. But she maintained her cool and put the chicken soup right in front of Shen Jianchuan. Then, she sat beside him.

When Shen Jianchuan saw his daughter coming, his eyes shone and he looked instantly more energetic.

“Dad…” Mu Qiqi felt awkward again when she called him that away. She said, “We have just met a few times. I am still not used to calling you that.”

When Shen Jianchuan heard her, he wanted to grab Mu Qiqi’s hand.

Mu Qiqi understood his intention and grabbed his thin left hand. “What do you want to say?”

“Qiqi, why did you leave on your own when you knew that Aunt Rong would go and fetch you? Did you know that she had waited for you for three hours?” Huang Yu purposely interrupted the father and daughter. “Do you not have respect for your elders? Is this what the Mu family taught you?”

Mu Qiqi was about to refute, but Shen Juanchuan gently pinched her hand to stop her.

It was a very light movement that could hardly be noticed. But Mu Qiqi could feel that Shen Jianchuan was siding with her. So, she turned her head and looked at Huang Yu. “Second Aunt, is this how you bully your niece?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“If it is not the case, then why are you stopping me from seeing my father again and again? Also, why do you always say something bad about me in front of my father?” Mu Qiqi asked Huang Yu in return.

“That is because you do not know how to respect your elders.”

“Respecting the elders does not mean blind obedience. If an elder wants me to kill a man, should I obey him?” Mu Qiqi replied. “I know you do not like me because I am a hindrance to Aunt Rong. I caused damage to the relationship between her and my father. But I am also a human with a heart. I cannot let you hurt me again and again.”

“How dare you criticize us!” Second Aunt felt defeated so she snapped.

Shen Jianchuan nudged Mu Qiqi by pinching her hand again. He was telling her not to bother too much about Huang Yu. Otherwise she would keep on arguing.

“Even though I might not be well educated, I still know I should not overstep and intervene in the affairs of others’ family.”

Huang Yu was speechless. She stood in a corner angrily.

Mu Qiqi had finally got the silence she wanted. Now only she could have a proper conversation with her father. “I went camping and got myself tanned. But I have become healthier.”

Shen Jianchuan nodded.

“I have brought you some chicken soup. Do you want to have some?”

Shen Jianchuan quickly nodded. He did not even take one bite of the food prepared by Rong Junhan. Rong Junhan was crossed.

“Eldest Brother, you are too much!”

Mu Qiqi ignored the two people and served the soup. Then, she fed him.

Wasn’t it clear now? Shen Jianchuan has been siding with his daughter since the very beginning.

“Huang Yu, stop.” Rong Junhan quietly packed up the insulated lunch boxes and carried them in her hands. “It is a rare chance for your brother to meet his daughter. Let them get to know each other better.”

“We will leave just like that?”

Huang Yu felt bitter.

Mu Qiqi relaxed as they left the ward. She said, “Father, you should get well faster. If not, I will continue to be bullied.”

Mu Qiqi said this with her girly voice. She didn’t lose anything by doing this.

Shen Jianchuan nodded as he was drinking the soup. He would work hard to recover. So, he did not just undergo rehabilitation in the hospital, he also got Grandpa Shen to invite some professionals from overseas to help him.

He did this to be able to hug his daughter sooner.

Mu Qiqi knew that Shen Jianchuan was a good person. He would not be a father like Papa Mu. She was finally relieved and was willing to open her heart to her father.

Of course, she did not want him to know about her relationship with Sheng Xiao yet.

“I come here today to accompany you…”

Shen Jianchuan was very satisfied even though he was in his state now.

After a while, Mu Qiqi left the hospital. Shen Jianchuan asked his nurse to contact Grandpa Shen. He wanted to see him.

He was sad to see his daughter have a low status in the Shen family. So, he wanted to do something for her as her father.

Mu Qiqi got into Sheng Xiao’s car after she walked out of the hospital.

When Sheng Xiao saw Rong Janhan and Second Aunt leaving the hospital, he knew straightaway that Qiqi must be criticized by them.

“You were lectured?”

“I don’t even eat the rice of her family. Why should I listen to her lecture?” Mu Qiqi said, “I am just worried that I have to leave my father under Aunt Rong’s care. He cannot move…”

“She is your father’s fiancée. If we want her to lose this status, we will need to find her fault.” Sheng Xiao hinted while driving.

“Have you discovered something?”

“Let’s talk about this when we get home.” Sheng Xiao reminded Mu Qiqi. “Didn’t I tell you that it was too coincidental for your father to wake up now? So, I asked Jing Yun to investigate this matter. There is nothing suspicious about your father waking up, but I found something else.”

“Another discovery?” Mu Qiqi’s eyes sparkled.

They sped home. As they were planning to sort out the matter, Grandpa Shen suddenly called her. “Qiqi, I am at the mansion. Why haven’t you got home from the hospital?”

Mu Qiqi told Sheng Xiao it was Grandpa Shen.

After hearing this name, Sheng Xiao immediately turned the car around and headed to the mansion.

Mu Qiqi entered the mansion and saw Grandpa Shen standing beside a new car. He beckoned to Mu Qiqi. “Come and see this.”

“Grandpa?”

“This is a gift from your father.” Grandpa Shen gave her the car key. “You can drive to school now.”

“Wow! Grandpa, this is too extravagant. And I don’t know how to drive.”

Mu Qiqi was overwhelmed.

“This is your father’s love toward you. You must accept it.” Grandpa Shen was very happy. Because he could still do something for his son.

Mu Qiqi took a deep breath and nodded. “I can accept this. But I am sure the Shens will criticize me.”

“This car is bought with your father’s money. Who dares to object?”

“Grandpa, I visited Father today. I felt a bit uneasy. Second Aunt is also on Rong Junhan’s side. I am worried that she will not take good care of Father.”

“I understand your feeling, girl. But your grandfather is also not an easy man.” Grandpa Shen smiled knowingly. “I will grant you your wishes. And your father’s.”
