Chapter 149: Why Don’t You Change Your Surname to Rong?

“That’s right. Eldest Brother, you should get better quickly. You still owe Eldest Sister a wedding ceremony,” said Second Elder.

Shen Jianchuan looked at Rong Junhan who was by his side. He said weakly, “Thank…” He tried very hard but still could not say ‘you’. Perhaps it was because he was in the state of coma for too long that his speech mechanism could not work well. He needed a lot of time to be fully recovered.

“It’s good enough that you are awake.”

Nobody mentioned his daughter to him. They knew it was not the right time to tell him about it yet.

But Second Aunt was worried that Grandpa Shen would blurt it out, so she got him out of the ward and said, “Father, the doctor said Eldest Brother had been unconscious for a long time, so he needs to rest well to help his recovery. He cannot be shocked, so we all think of not telling him about Qiqi first. We should tell him later when he gets better.”

Grandpa Shen looked at Huang Yu with a deep gaze, as if he knew what she was plotting.

“Do you get any advantage for stopping Qiqi from returning to the Shen family?”

“The doctor said so,” replied Second Aunt firmly.

Grandpa Shen did not say anything. He did not agree or disagree because he had his own plan.

He did not think that the news would be a shock to Shen Jianchuan. But, now that he was awake, his marriage with Rong Junhan would have to be done. What would happen to Qiqi when they get married? Wouldn’t her situation become more awkward?

Grandpa did not wish for it to happen. His granddaughter should return to the family with her head held up high.

…

Mu Qiqi was hiding away from the trouble in the villa the whole night. When she woke up in the morning, her mind was clearer.

No matter what happened in the Shen family, she had only one goal, that was being together with Sheng Xiao. She believed in her faith, so she would not be afraid of the trouble in the Shen family that was coming. By the way, the man was her father. She believed that Shen Jianchuan would not be the same as Papa Mu and let his daughter be humiliated.

So, she went to the small mansion early in the morning.

“How is it going, Qiqi?”

“Don’t worry, Aunt. Mu Tangxue will not have the chance to make a comeback anymore since her identity was exposed. I brought her to Mommy’s gravestone last night. I don’t even know if she is still alive now,” said Mu Qiqi.

“Serve her right. I am just worried about your relationship with the Shen family.”

“They will not accept me that easily, Aunt. I do not expect that to happen. But there is one thing I want to tell you.”

“What is it?” Su Zipei looked very seriously.

“Eldest Young Master Shen is awake.”

Su Zipei knew what she meant. “It is incredible that he could still wake up. Then, you will have a father. But Rong Junhan is not that easy to deal with. She was the one who stopped your mother from being together with Shen Jianchuan. And now she will definitely not be accepting you.”

“Don’t worry too much, Aunt. I still have Sheng Xiao.” Mu Qiqi held Su Zipei’s hands to reassure her. “You should just go and enjoy your life with Uncle Lu. I will not have much time to be with you when I start attending classes.”

“Now that you have returned to the Shen family, I should not embarrass you. So, I have signed up a few courses to enrich my knowledge. All those finance and stock exchange stuff… I don’t have much interest in those things, but I must not be ignorant. Otherwise, I will be laughed at by the other people when I attend those big events, wouldn’t I?”

The greatest asset that a woman could have was self-enrichment.

“Well, let’s work hard together. Aunt, please keep an eye on Mu Tangxue after I leave. We should not let her die for real.”

“Don’t worry about it.” Su Zipei patted Mu Qiqi’s head and said, “Take care of yourself in the camp.”

“Yes.” Mu Qiqi packed some essentials and returned to the villa. Although Sheng Xiao was not at home in the day, she felt more at ease staying in their home.

The villa was almost perfect, apart from that there were no photographs of the two. Although there were many traces of them living in the house together, she felt that it did not feel like a home yet.

Then, as Mu Qiqi was packing the clothes she needed, Grandpa Shen called her. “Xiao Qi, when are you going to the camp?”

“Tomorrow morning.”

“Listen. I want you to come and meet your father tonight. We should at least let him know he has a daughter.”

The meeting was arranged at night. So, it meant that the Shens did not agree to this. Grandpa Shen must be planning to let her meet Shen Jianchuan in secret.

“Grandpa, we will have a lot of opportunities to meet in the future.”

“There are things that we should not delay.” Grandpa Shen was anxious because Shen Jianchuan was with Rong Junhan most of the time.

“Alright then.” Mu Qiqi nodded. She was giving herself a little hope.

“Then I will call you later.”

After Grandpa Shen hung up the call, Mu Qiqi texted Sheng Xiao immediately. “Grandpa asked me to go to the hospital tonight.”

“To meet your father secretly?”

“Yes, the Shens are probably not happy about the idea.”

“Why should you care about their feelings?” Sheng Xiao asked. “You can go as you wish no matter what time it is. You are Brother Shen’s daughter. Rong Junhan cannot stop you.”

“But…”

“You will never be able to please that person!” Sheng Xiao said frankly. Then, he asked, “Do you want to go?”

“Yes.” After all, he was her father. Also, she was worried that Rong Junhan would become another Mu Tangxue, badmouthing her before she met with Shen Jianchuan.

“Then just go. I am the one who raised you so why should you be afraid of them? You do not owe the Shen family. No worries. Just go. I will come fetch you after I get off work. Let’s go and have a big meal before you go to the military camp tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Mu Qiqi thought about what Xiaoxiao said. He was right.

Although the uncles were trying to stop her, she needed not to be afraid.

So, she called Grandpa Shen. “Grandpa, I am coming right now.”

“Okay, I will make arrangements,” Grandpa Shen replied.

After the phone call, Grandpa Shen returned to the ward. He sat down beside Shen Jianchuan and grabbed his hand. Then, he asked, “Jianchuan, do you know that you have a daughter?”

“Are you kidding, Father? What are you talking about?” Second Aunt was stunned. She rushed forward to stop him. Her purpose of staying in the hospital all day long was to stop Grandpa Shen from telling him that.

But Grandpa Shen looked at her coldly and said, “Why don’t you change your surname to Rong?”

“Father, didn’t we agree on this?”

“I didn’t. I just want to tell my son this. Do you know that you have a daughter?”

Shen Jianchuan was surprised, and he shook his head. His movement was still awkward.

“Su Zipei conceived the child for you. She was raised by the Mu family for eighteen years. Your brothers are worried that your fiancée will be unhappy, so they don’t want to tell you this.”

Grandpa Shen glared at Second Aunt, then he asked Shen Jianchuan. “Do you want to meet her?”
