Chapter 538: Causing Third Brother Some Trouble
“Haha, did I say that?”
Feng Shanshan asked Tang Yan in return.
“I shall leave now, Professor. Thank you for today.” Tang Yan did not argue with Feng Shanshan. He did not care anyway. He buttoned his jacket and left the forensics laboratory.
“Professor, why didn’t you tell me there was someone inside?”
“Perhaps I have not told you this. Officer Tang is my nephew,” the professor explained. “He told me that his shoulders had been aching lately. So, I told him to come over to let me check on him.”
Feng Shanshan said, “You are a good person. I’m so embarrassed!”
“It is raining outside. Did you bring an umbrella? Let Tang Yan send you back later. Once you start interacting with each other, you will be able to clear up all the misunderstandings, won’t you?” The professor suggested cheerfully while washing the scalpel.
“When is Mu Qiqi coming back?” Feng Shanshan had started missing Mu Qiqi already. With her around, it would not feel so awkward.
“You…”
After Huo Cong’s case, the police station quietened down. So, the forensics laboratory did not need much help from the assistants. Hence, Feng Shanshan did not need to stay in the forensics laboratory until late night.
Feng Shanshan walked out of the forensics laboratory at nine o’clock.
Tang Yan was waiting at the entrance, holding an umbrella. His tall figure easily drew people’s attention.
He turned his head and looked at the girl who had been criticizing him. He thought she would come over to share the umbrella with him. However, she pretended not to see him and ran into the rain holding her bag over her head.
It took at least ten minutes to get to the bus stop from the police station.
Was she really planning to get soaked in the rain? She was such a stubborn girl.
When he first came to the police station, he was indeed interested in Mu Qiqi. However, before he met Mu Qiqi, he met this strange girl.
Was his umbrella poisonous?
…
It was the rainy season in Jianchuan. So it was always chilling cold.
Gu Ziling was rather quiet recently. She prepared dinner on time every day and then welcomed them home from Huang Yao.
She spent some time looking into Sheng Bowen’s romantic affairs in the past. However, what she found out was that this man, who had lived for more than thirty years, had never touched a woman in his life. So, she was unable to meet with any ex-girlfriend of his to learn about his exciting love stories.
The same went for Hu Ran. Before she became ‘slow’, she had never had a boyfriend, let alone after.
In that case, she would have to figure out another way to separate the two.
Thinking of this, after dinner, Gu Ziling asked Sheng Kai, “Is Third Brother’s secretary a male or a female?”
“A female. Why?”
“Can you arrange for him a gorgeous and smart one?” asked Gu Ziling.
Sheng Kai looked at her for a while. He did not say it, but he understood her intention. She wanted to cause Third Brother some trouble.
“I’ll do it,” said Sheng Kai.
“Kai, there are some things that we must do. One, we have to monitor him. Two, now that the Gu family is bankrupt, Hu Ran’s background will threaten your status greatly. I want to remove all the obstacles for you.”
Sheng Kai hugged Gu Ziling and nodded.
“I know you do all these for me.”
In the other room, Hu Ran and Third Brother were discussing how they could meet with the paparazzo.
Twice, that scumbag did not turn up after they set the meeting with him. Actually, Third Brother knew that he just wanted money. It was a matter very easily solved, but Hu Ran thought that since she had to pay, she must listen to him first before she could evaluate the value of the information.
“Don’t worry about this matter first. I will tell you after I make sure that we can meet him for real,” said Third Brother before going to bed. “And one more thing, my friends overseas told me that Tiffany & Co. is starting to fall apart. There will surely be scandals within a month.”
“What will happen to Huang Yao then?”
Sheng Bowen shrugged. “Second Brother does not just insist on the investment, he even increased the amount of investment. I can’t do anything when Grandpa trusts him. We can only wait to suffer loss.”
“You have done your best. Don’t stress yourself.” Hu Ran smiled at him.
Sheng Bowen stroked her hair and smiled. “Eighth Brother has taught me some ways to cushion the damage. I only hope that when the time comes, Huang Yao won’t be affected too much. What about you? How’s the thing with Father-in-law? All good?”
“Father said that before I get the evidence, he will not let that woman get pregnant. So, I still have time.”
“Great.”
After that, they cuddled and slept. But, that was it.
They looked like two injured foxes holding each other for warmth, as if they were the only two left in the cold snow.
…
It was nine o’clock in the morning in the United States.
Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao were filling up the form. Then, they went to the city hall for a small ceremony.
After that, there were two more procedures to be completed for their marriage to be official. So, they needed to wait for another week or so to get the marriage certificate.
Looking at the man in a black suit standing beside her about to become hers completely, Mu Qiqi could not help smiling.
“I thought the process would be very complicated.”
Sheng Xiao walked to the hall hand in hand with her.
There were foreigners around them. However, everyone’s eyes were on them. Because they were very eye-catching.
“Once you are married today, you will never have the chance to regret it. So, please think about it carefully now.”
Before the ceremony, Sheng Xiao said to Mu Qiqi, holding her hands, “After today, I will name everything after our names as husband and wife in all public affairs. With this, you will not be able to escape.”
“I’m married… Anyway, you can’t treat me casually just because I do not ask for a ring or a grand wedding. You will have to make up for those things in the future,” Mu Qiqi said with teary eyes.
Sheng Xiao couldn’t help but smile after hearing this. “Are there any other requests?”
“I will tell you after I think about it.”
It did not matter if their marriage was not going to be recognized in their home country. It was enough as long as they recognized it.
At the moment, Sheng Xiao’s tall figure enveloped Mu Qiqi, giving her a sense of security and belonging. “Silly thing.”
Mu Qiqi was wearing the white dress prepared by her father. Under the sacred oath, Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao finally registered their marriage.
She had to admit that she was very nervous. Her hands shook uncontrollably.
Even after the staff said ‘Okay’ several times, Mu Qiqi still could not calm down.
After the registration, she wanted to call her family to inform them the great news immediately. However, Sheng Xiao stopped her. “It’s early in the morning over there. You can call them in the evening.”
“Chief Sheng, you have finally succeeded in marrying a little young bride. How was it?”
