Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 304: You Are Really Something

Due to his guilt toward Sheng Minglan, Grandpa Sheng let Sheng Xiao inform the employees in Huang Yao to help her new company.

So, those who made a fool out of Sheng Minglan before came to apologize. They even came in person to draw up business contracts and treated Sheng Minglan to lunches.

Actually, Sheng Minglan did not ask for these. She was satisfied as long as Sheng Minghui would not trouble her.

Now that the business went smoothly, Sheng Minglan started to have the urge to date Jing Yun. After all, Jing Yun had worked so hard to prevent the Sheng family from interfering with her business. For now, the problem was solved. So, it’s time to think about her personal problem.

At midnight, the two were still working in the office. When Sheng Minglan finally saw Jing Yun tidy up the files, she quickly stood up and walked to him from her desk. “Let’s go for supper.”

Jing Yun raised his head and looked at her. He didn’t refuse. “Sure. But I choose the place.”

Sheng Minglan nodded happily. She thought Jing Yun had finally made his move.

But, when they reached the place, Sheng Minglan was suddenly confused.

Because it was a very humble roadside hawker stall.

“Miss Minglan, you must have never eaten this kind of food before, right?”

Being a young lady of the Sheng family, she had lived a pampered life. That was the reason Jing Yun brought her here. “But, this was the place I begged for food before going to Sheng Mansion.”

Sheng Minglan’s face darkened. “You are always like this, driving us far apart like one is in heaven and one on earth.”

“This is the reality.” Jing Yun turned around and looked at Sheng Minglan. “Miss, although you have your freedom now, what will Grandpa Sheng do if he gets to know that we are together? My life will only become miserable. I am just an ordinary person. I don’t want to suffer to death. So, I hope you can place your attention on someone else.”

Sheng Minglan was hurt after hearing this. “Alright, you’ve succeeded in hurting my feelings. I have thought about all those before. If Grandpa finds out about us one day, I will still stay by your side. But since you are scared, then there is nothing I can say. Just go back. You don’t have to stay for supper.”

Jing Yun’s throat felt dry. He did not say anything.

After Sheng Minglan got into the car, she had lost all desire to speak. So, she looked out of the car window. After quite some time, she finally said, “You can go back to Sheng Xiao now.”

Not only that, she also took out the gold card from her pouch. “And I don’t need your money either. Since you don’t want to face me, then we have no reason to meet again. We will feel sad for no reason!”

Seeing that gold card, Jing Yun was stunned. She knew it all along.

“Just drop me in front of the apartment. I will get a new assistant tomorrow. You don’t have to come anymore.”

Jing Yun took a deep breath and dropped Sheng Minglan in front of her new apartment. She got out swiftly. Jing Yun stared at the gold card. She had her freedom after much suffering. He did not want to ruin it.

When Sheng Minglan reached home, Sheng Minglan called Sheng Xiao. “I have talked to Jing Yun. I told him not to come to my company starting tomorrow. So, don’t simply tell him about me in the future. Since he won’t open his heart to me, I can’t force it.”

Sheng Xiao frowned. What was Jing Yun hiding in his heart that he must make everyone suffer?

“Alright. Since it’s your decision, I will do as you say.”

“Goodnight.”

Mu Qiqi heard their conversation and knew that Jing Yun had refused to be together with Sheng Minglan. She couldn’t help but sigh. “Maybe that’s their destiny.”

“He wants it that way. There’s nothing we can do.” Sheng Xiao hugged Mu Qiqi.

The next morning, Jing Yun really reported to work in Huang Yao. Sheng Xiao acted normally. But he scorned Jing Yun’s way of handling his relationship with Sheng Minglan.

“Are you trying to put up a melodrama?”

“Young Master…”

“What are you afraid of when I’m here?” Sheng Xiao asked. “Let me tell you. Fourth Sister called me last night and told me not to tell you anything about her anymore. Otherwise, it will be awkward for both of you. By the way, she has returned the card to you, hasn’t she?”

Jing Yun nodded.

“That should be the way. The young lady of the Sheng family tried to woo you but you rejected her. You are really something.”

Jing Yun looked down quietly.

“Let me warn you. Fourth Sister did this to tell you that you have missed the chance to make her open her heart to you. Whoever she meets in the future, it has nothing to do with you. If you want to continue to be a monk, just go ahead. I am really curious how long you can live like this!”

This log, how mentally retarded was he in terms of love?

How could there be a man willing to endure an unrequited love quietly in this era?

“Fool, go and help out in the planning department. I don’t want to see your face for now.”

Jing Yun left Sheng Xiao’s office in despair.

…

Soon, Grandpa Sheng got to know about Mu Qiqi’s plan for the banquet. Huang Yao was his after all. He could easily get the information about the events in advance. Sheng Xiao did not plan to hide it from him anyway.

Since he knew what Grandpa Sheng was up to already, he should just let him know openly, how clever the plan was.

Grandpa Sheng read the proposal. He could not find any issues. And he believed that this was something Mu Qiqi completed alone. Because it was totally different from Sheng Xiao’s style.

It was something created by a nineteen-year-old girl. How could it be so creative?

He did not know whether she was too clever or just lucky.

In any case, Grandpa Sheng was warier of Mu Qiqi. Because Sheng Xiao would have another woman in the future. If she was clever, she would be more difficult to be dealt with. Sheng Xiao alone was causing enough headache.

No matter what, she could not get the credit in the end or she would gain recognition from the outside world.

Although he did not like Sheng Minghui, she was still a Sheng. He could not let the outsider get the advantage from this.

After the end of the banquet, he would announce to let Sheng Minghui lead the planning team. Because she was the biggest contributor to the event!

It would end in a few days. So, just let Mu Qiqi stay happy for a few more days.

As for Sheng Minghui, since she was being punished by Grandpa Sheng many times lately, she went to the bar for a drink and saw a familiar face there.
