Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife Chapter 489 - Is This the Real You?

Chapter 489: Is This the Real You?

It was beyond everyone’s expectation that Hu Ran could return to normal. Grandpa Sheng thought that his granddaughter-in-law would remain a fool for the rest of her life. So he never expected her to be of any use to the Sheng family. But now, she seemed to be a proud and determined lady. If she was really capable, he would not mind her arrogance.

More importantly, the reputation of the family would improve.

Previously, Hu Ran and Third Brother had gotten married quietly. So now, he needed to let the whole city know about their marriage. Because Hu Ran had returned normal.

Gu Ziling had been a prideful lady since the beginning. And now with Hu Ran in the family, the relations.h.i.+p between the sisters-in-laws would be rather interesting.

…

Sheng Xiao received news saying that Hu Ran had recovered. He thought that the drama of the Sheng family was getting more and more exciting.

Later, the secretary went into his office to remind him about the meeting that was to start in ten minutes. But Sheng Xiao sat on his chair and glanced at Xu Che, then at his secretary. He asked, “What do you girls like in a marriage proposal?”

“Have you not asked Miss’ hand in marriage yet?”

“Our engagement was cancelled so it does not count. I want to do it all over again.”

“Since Miss has been on many big occasions, I think that the simplest one would be best. Maybe, you can propose to her in front of the whole family. This will make her feel valued and it will be more meaningful.”

Sheng Xiao accepted the secretary’s opinion.

“Let’s prepare for the meeting.”

They had been together for more than two years. And in his heart, the little one was always his wife. It never changed.

He was engaged with Mu Qiqi formally before, the time when he fetched Mu Qiqi from Shen Mansion for the engagement ceremony, but the engagement was cancelled by the two families.

So, this time, he thought he indeed should prepare a simple but solemn proposal. He would invite the Shen family for dinner, along with Aunt Zipei’s family. In this way, the little one would not have any regrets in her life.

…

After the shocking news about Hu Ran last night, Gu Ziling had finally collected her thoughts. She wondered how food poisoning would affect Hu Ran’s nerve, and help her to recover miraculously. The more she thought about it, the more bizarre she felt. And another person who could not believe what happened was Hu Ran’s stepmother.

Although Papa Hu was overjoyed and did not ask her anything else, she felt that the timing of Hu Ran regaining her consciousness was too impeccable.

Therefore, Gu Ziling suspected that Hu Ran had been pretending all this time.

Although Hu Ran’s stepmother rejected her speculation many times, Gu Ziling still believed it this way. She could not accept that Third Brother depended on his luck that he started to be valued by the old man after Hu Ran was married into the Sheng family.

She must look into the matter when she had the chance.

Now, Miss Hu had recovered. With her domineering arrogance, she would quarrel with her even when they were just having breakfast. In her mind, Gu Ziling was thinking that if it went on like this, she would soon have no place to stand in the Sheng family.

Before Hu Ran got into the accident, she was an arrogant lady.

With a person she hated living in the same house with her, Hu Ran did not show any mercy at all to Gu Ziling. The moment she woke up, she would start picking on the food on the table.

“I don’t want to say this, Second Sister-in-law. But we are both born in prestigious families. Don’t you know how to taste food? It’s such an awful breakfast. Can’t you tell?”

“The chefs have been working in Sheng Mansion for many years. If you are not used to the food, you can hire a chef that will cook for you alone.” Gu Ziling refuted.

“And one more thing. Grandpa, can I get another room for me and Third Brother? I was mentally challenged before. But now I think that the things Second Sister-in-law had prepared for me are too childish and useless. I don’t think I need them now. she can take them away.”

“Since you have your own ideas, as your sister-in-law, I shall prepare according to your preferences.”

“Alright, now.” Grandpa Sheng interrupted. Then, he asked Hu Ran, “Xiao Ran, what did you study before?”

“Finance,” replied Hu Ran.

“Well, then I should get you a position in Huang Yao. Are you willing to learn and get some experience?”

“Of course, I am, as long as I can help Third Brother. He is my husband. I should care about him.” Hu Ran said with a smile. She was saying this to Gu Ziling.

The two knew Grandpa’s intention. One would stay at home and another one would go to the company. Then, they would be separated for most of the time. Thus, less conflict.

However, if Hu Ran was going to Huang Yao, it would be beneficial to Third Brother. Then, Gu Ziling would be the one in disadvantage.

“Grandpa…”

“As for you, Ziling, I will let the butler hand over the power to handle the household to you. After all, he’s old now and many things are too demanding for him.”

Gu Ziling felt better upon hearing this.

At least Sheng Kai was still the crown prince and she was still the crown princess. No matter how much trouble Hu Ran caused, their status would not change for the time being.

However, Hu Ran was not angry. She exchanged glances with Third Brother instead.

After getting into their room, Third Brother grabbed Hu Ran’s hand and asked, “How will you investigate the case that happened two years ago if you go to Huang Yao?”

“I want to investigate the case, but I want to help you, too. When I have a position in Huang Yao, Grandpa will be more careful when he wants to punish you in the future.”

“About that woman, we must start from things around her. It cannot be done in one day. So we must plan for the future.”

Third Brother nodded and said, “I know some people in that industry. Maybe we can start from the entertainment industry.”

“Good. But, Third Brother, I must tell you that being able to confront Second Sister-in-law openly is so exciting.”

“Is this the real you?”

Hu Ran nodded. “Before the accident, I was just like this. I didn’t let my father have another child and I never let that woman live in peace in the Hu family. It was the accident two years ago that smoothed out all the spikes on my body. Now, I just want that woman to leave the Hu family.”

“About the accident, can you tell me more in detail?”

“After the accident, there were people watching me in the ward. And when there was n.o.body taking care of me, she would want to take off my oxygen mask. I was so scared that time. If I did not pretend to be a fool, I think that woman would have done all sorts of things until I died.”

Third Brother hugged Hu Ran gently. “You will definitely get what you wish for.”

“Go to work already, Third Brother. I am a normal person now. Are you still worrying about me? Anyway, compared to Second Brother, I think that you are better at carrying forward the spirit of Huang Yao. You are the real heir of Huang Yao.”

He had never dreamt for that position. Because Eighth Brother used to sit on it firmly.

But now, he was not too uninterested in it.
