Chapter 292: I… Can Wait for Your Answer
“Remember your promise today!” After Sheng Minglan heard it, she put down her right hand.
“Seventh Sister, hurry up and get Fourth Sister a doctor!” Grandpa Sheng ordered immediately after seeing that Sheng Minglan had relaxed a bit.
In fact, Seventh Sister had never expected Sheng Minglan to have such a big reaction.
So, she quickly moved forward. She wanted to help Sheng Minglan to stop her wound from bleeding, but…
“No thanks. Don’t touch me.” Sheng Minglan pushed Sheng Minghui away. “Don’t touch me with your filthy hands.”
Seventh Sister stood right there, dumbfounded.
And Sheng Minglan covered her wound and took two steps back. “Now, this is my wish for you. I wish that you bastards will grow old together and die without your bodies.”
Having said that, Sheng Minglan took a glance at Grandpa Sheng. She was completely disappointed in him. Then, she turned around and left Grandpa Sheng’s study.
“Minglan…” Grandpa Sheng called out his granddaughter’s name, wanting to stop her. But what use was it to call her? Her fiancé was robbed and her reputation was ruined. Moreover, he as her grandfather could not side with Sheng Minglan. Because the engagement ceremony was tomorrow.
Staring at the two main culprits of the incidents, Grandpa Sheng’s whole body was shaking with fury. “As you wish, you have gotten what you want. Now get out of my sight.”
“Grandpa, thank you for your permission. I know you love me the best.”
Grandpa Sheng had no choice. They had already admitted their sexual relationship. How could he stop them from being together? It was unnecessary for him to sacrifice another granddaughter, wasn’t it?
Nevertheless, Fourth Sister was the one who suffered the most after this incident. And this was his first time feeling sorry for his granddaughter.
And this was exactly the result that Sheng Minglan wanted!
Late at night, Sheng Minglan walked out of Grandpa Sheng’s study. When Jing Yun saw her hand covered with blood, he paled. He quickly moved closer to her. “What happened?”
“I am fine. I did it myself. Let’s go to Jing Ting first.”
“You should stop the wound from bleeding first.” Jing Yun dragged Sheng Minglan into his old room and helped her to sit on the couch. Then, he rushed to grab the first aid kit.
“Why must you hurt yourself?” Jing Yun knelt in front of Sheng Minglan and treated her wound. “Luckily the cut is not deep.”
“I just wanted to scare Grandpa. I knew what I was doing when I did it,” explained Sheng Minglan. “Jing Yun, don’t fight with Grandpa tomorrow. He has promised me he will not interfere with my marriage and my life anymore.”
“Don’t say anything for now. Let me help you to bandage your hand first.”
To Jing Yun, nothing was more important than her body. No matter how angry she was, she should not have hurt her body in exchange for anything.
“Don’t do it again.”
“I had no choice judging from the situation just now. It was the only way I could make Grandpa see my pain and determination.”
Jing Yun skillfully bandaged her wound and helped her up. “Let’s go to Jing Ting.”
“Wait…” Sheng Minglan looked as if she was reminded of something. Suddenly, she grabbed Jing Yun’s hand tightly. “Do you still remember it? That night, I said that if I could break free from Grandpa’s control, we shall get together.”
Jing Yun was stunned when he heard what she said. He stared blankly at Sheng Minglan. “I… I thought you were drunk.”
“I was not. I was perfectly sober then,” said Sheng Minglan seriously.
Jing Yun’s facial expression was very unnatural. He was working very hard to hide his feelings toward Sheng Minglan. But, it was because of his hesitation that Sheng Minglan suddenly stood on tiptoe and pecked him on the cheek.
This time, Jing Yun was completely taken aback.
“It’s alright. we can go to Jing Ting first. I… can wait for your answer.”
After that, Sheng Minglan walked ahead of Jing Yun.
Jing Yun only responded slowly after some time. His face was as red as a tomato.
It was very awkward. They could not speak to each other at all on the way to Jing Ting.
…
On the other hand, Seventh Sister had successfully grabbed the Englishman from Sheng Minglan. Grandpa Sheng had decided that she would be replacing Sheng Minglan to be the bride-to-be tomorrow.
In order not to embarrass the guests, Grandpa Sheng had come up with an idea. He said that the name of the bride was mistaken, it should be Sheng Minghui instead of Sheng Minglan. In that way, the guests could only accept it although nobody would expect such a big change. The Sheng family had actually switched the bride-to-be a day before the engagement ceremony.
Before going to bed, Mama Sheng heard about the big drama that happened. She could not help but sigh. “Seventh Sister is indeed brave enough to snatch her brother-in-law and do such shameless things. What’s more annoying is that we still have to explain and entertain the guests. I heard that Fourth Sister cut her wrist just now. I could not imagine how disappointed and desperate she was.”
After Papa Sheng heard his wife’s continuous grumbling, he waved his hand to tell her to rest. “Just let the two brothers fight between themselves. It has nothing to do with us.”
Papa Sheng was referring to the fathers of Seventh Sister and Fourth Sister.
“Speaking of this, Fourth Sister would definitely not be going to the engagement ceremony tomorrow. How sad she must be then.”
Perhaps all the Shengs would think that way, especially Seventh Sister.
When she saw how defeated Sheng Minglan looked that night, she felt the happiness of victory overflowing in her body. Will was hers now, and as a result, her background was strengthened. She would be more confident in the Sheng family in the future.
So, after going through the crisis in the study, she danced happily in her room.
She, Sheng Minghui, would become the bride-to-be tomorrow. So, perhaps Sheng Minglan would not make her appearance at the ceremony tomorrow, right?
Although Grandpa Sheng had come up with an explanation, who would not understand the underlying meaning of this? If Sheng Minglan made her appearance, everyone would sympathize with her. Because she was dumped by the bridegroom-to-be a day before the engagement.
Anyway, who would care about Sheng Minglan?
Now, it was the time for Sheng Minghui to enjoy her good fortune.
…
When Jing Yun brought Sheng Minglan to Jing Ting, Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi were already asleep.
But when Sheng Xiao saw Sheng Minglan came with her hand injured, he frowned. “What happened?”
Sheng Minglan sat on the couch and retold the story of Seventh Sister snatching her man to the three in detail. “It was probably the thing that happened that night that gave her the idea of snatching that man. And so this happened. In fact, she has no idea that she had done me a good deed.”
“Seventh Sister must be feeling very proud now for snatching that man from you. She thought she had successfully humiliated you.”
“You did not fight with Grandpa Sheng and you have even won his sympathy. Seventh Sister must have no idea that you are the real winner.”
Sheng Xiao took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet and poured Sheng Minglan a glass. “Congratulations, Fourth Sister.”
“I did not expect things would go this well in the end. I had even prepared for the worst.” Sheng Minglan was very relieved now.
Sheng Xiao grinned. “You wasted no energy to reach your goal. Now, we shall continue to keep a low profile. Tomorrow, we shall go and watch a good drama of Seventh Sister.”
“The Sheng family changed the bride-to-be in such short notice. This must be going to be a very interesting topic.”
