In order to make it easy for her to take care of Shen Jianchuan, Rong Junhan had moved into Shen Mansion.
Grandpa Shen could not say anything because Rong Junhan was in fact his son's fiancée. He should be thankful for her hard work after taking care of his son for so many years. And, after all, their wedding was around the corner.
The Shens were very happy about this, especially Second Elder and his family. When they knew that Rong Junhan was moving into the house prepared for her and his brother for their marriage, they did not just support the idea, but helped her to bring the luggage into the house.
"I am old and too tired to care about the matters of you young people. But Junhan, this is all that I ask from you. There must be a room for Qiqi in the house, a place for her in the family, forever."
"Father, Qiqi is Jianchuan's daughter. Of course, I will take good care of her."
Only the brothers of the Shens would believe in her words.
"Father, Eldest Sister is always fair. Are you afraid that she will harm Qiqi?"
"Nobody dares to touch Qiqi when I am alive. But what if I am dead?" Grandpa Shen snorted. "I know you do not like Qiqi, so don't pretend in front of me."
"Father, isn't it great that Qiqi is with the Sheng family? Huang Yu commented. "We, her aunts, can just treat her better after she comes back from her training. What's the big deal?"
"Junhan, although you and Jianchuan decided to bring forward your wedding, you still need to get Qiqi to settle down beforehand. You cannot let my granddaughter suffer."
"Yes, Father."
Shen Jianchuan needed a long time, at least a year, to recover. But it was Rong Junhan's wish to bring forward the wedding ceremony, so he agreed to it. It was just that he would still be using the wheelchair by then.
This woman had stayed with him for so many years. So, by right she deserved to be given the title of being his wife. But Shen Jianchuan still needed to find out the truth. If Rong Junhan was innocent, he would be kind to her.
But if she had really done things that harmed the others, he would not be going to let her go easily.
Grandpa Shen was smart to avoid the other Shens and Rong Junhan when he went to the hospital. It was not that difficult to get the chances as Shen Jianchuan did not need to be attended to all day long.
So, these times became their only chances to have a proper father and son conversation.
There was no doubt that Grandpa Shen liked Mu Qiqi. He looked especially proud and excited when he told him about Mu Qiqi deciding on forensic science despite scoring seven hundred and thirty marks in the college entrance examination. A smile of joy and satisfaction lit up his face. "Whose granddaughter is that? Mine! And your daughter, of course!"
"She has the temperament of the Shen family!"
Shen Jianchuan listened to him. The more he knew about his daughter, the more he felt thrilled about her life story. He could not imagine that Mu Tangxue could be so bold.
Thinking about Mu Qiqi attending school, Shen Jianchuan thought he should express his love as her father. So, he gathered his energy to move his lips to mouth some words. "Father, I want to give Qiqi a present."
"What do you have in mind?"
"I want to give her a car so that she could drive to school. The car is a token of my regards to her."
Grandpa Shen nodded and patted on his shoulder. "Alright, consider it done."
Shen Jianchuan could only whisper without sound when he wanted to talk. He could not pronounce words yet. So, Grandpa Shen could only read his lips and guessed. Sometimes, he could not understand what he said.
"With Qiqi by your side, you will not feel lonely again."
Shen Jianchuan nodded, and his eyes sparkled with hope. He was a father. He wanted to protect his daughter. Especially when he heard about her hardship in the Mu family, he wished he could be there to protect her. If Rong Junhan was really the one hiding Mu Tangxue and trying to cause trouble, he would give Mu Tangxue a lesson.
Although he could not move, he could still think clearly.
