Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 461-470

Chapter 461: Thinking of You

Since Miss Hu would become Third Brother's fiancée, Sheng Xiao naturally had to investigate every familial connection of the Hu family, down to their ancestors.

It turned out Miss Hu had met the accident two years ago. She was only a little frail physically before, but she had a cool cleverness, and was awarded many honors for exceling in her academics and had graduated in journalism.

If her head had been normal, she would definitely have been a match for Third Brother.

On the other hand, Hu Ran's stepmother became a part of the Hu family four years ago. She had been a singer who had seen tough times at the entertainment industry, before eventually marrying the property magnate, securing an assurance for the latter half of her life as she wished.

She was in her thirties, and logical speaking, she should have had a child soon after marrying into a rich family to secure her position. And yet, there were no such signs over the last four years.

While the secrets of illustrious families appeared mysterious, it concerned nothing other than desire at the heart of the matter.

As for the fiancée of Sheng Xiao's Third Brother...

Sheng Xiao obliterated the papers that recorded the Hu family's information after reading through them.

Tomorrow was the declaration of inheritance for the Lu family.

On the night before, Mama Lu was laying in her bed, unable to sleep no matter what, and eventually decided to visit Lu Qianqian's room. "Dear... are you asleep?"

Lu Qianqian was holding her phone and sitting over her bed, and tapped the spot beside her when her mother showed up at her door. "Come, quick."

"Are you talking to Mu'an?"

"Yeah. He's asking me to tell him about what happened at the announcement of dad's will tomorrow." Lu Qianqian replied.

Sitting beside her daughter, Mama Lu leaned on her and asked, "Tell me the truth. Do you like Mu'an or not?"

"Mother..." Abruptly finding things a little unnatural, Lu Qianqian asked, "Why are you suddenly asking me that?"

"I protested when you had your puppy love with Duan Shao'an before. Even if we were longtime acquaintances with the Duan family, I was worried knowing Duan Shao'an's character, but you had fallen for him so single-mindedly. That is why I can't do a thing, and could only watch as you get hurt."

"After that, I swore to myself that I wouldn't let another man hurt you, especially now that you are still twenty."

"However... I have nothing to say against Mu'an."

"He is no younger than you are, and he took on everything when your father passed away, and thought of you and me in everything he did. If he wasn't around, I can't imagine how badly the funeral would have gone—I could see from there that the child is a reliable man."

"True, the Lin family had come to me and tried to persuade me so that you two would cut ties... but I understand you. Mu'an is a good child, and I don't wish that you two would part ways even before you two gave it a try. Moreover, I don't think that returning to the Lin family is the best choice for Mu'an, because he isn't happy there."

"That is why if you truly like each other, Mommy can help you."

Her heart warmed at her mother's words, Lu Qianqian embraced Mama Lu. "I'll do my best to protect you and Mu'an.'
