Chapter 890: Xiao Qi Has Finally Begged Me for Once
After sending Mama Lu off, Mu Qiqi sat on the chair without moving for a long time. When she returned home at night, she called Shen Jianchuan and acted like a little girl.
“Daddy…”
“What’s wrong?” Shen Jianchuan asked, “Do you have something to tell Daddy?”
“I have something to ask Daddy.” Mu Qiqi sat cross-legged on the bed and said.
“Speak, my daughter. It’s rare for her to beg me,” Shen Jianchuan replied as he sat on the sofa in the hotel.
“It’s Qianqian, you know…” After a few minutes, Mu Qiqi had told Shen Jianchuan about the matter, “Daddy, these are all matters for a little girl. You and Grandfather must have your own things to do in Luo Hai. However, I really don’t have much of a relations.h.i.+p with Old Master Lin, so I can’t really talk about Lin Mu’an. That’s why I…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll find an opportunity to chat with him.” Shen Jianchuan instantly promised Mu Qiqi. “No matter how big or small your daily matters are, Eighth Brother will always be there. You don’t have much time for me. Of course, I’ll be able to help you with such a small matter.”
“Thank you, Daddy.”
“It’s getting late, hurry up and get some rest! Is Eighth Brother letting you do as you please?”
“I’ll close my eyes then.” Mu Qiqi quickly replied. “Don’t tell Xiao Xiao. He’s in the study. He thought I was already asleep.”
Being able to speak to his daughter made the corners of Shen Jianchuan’s mouth curl up into a faint smile. However, after he put down the phone, he and Old Master Shen returned to their previous solemn and cold demeanor.
“I really didn’t expect Old Liu to have so many b.a.s.t.a.r.d sons. He’s seriously ill in the hospital and none of them came to ask about him. How did his ex-wife raise them.”
“I’ve already made the arrangements. I won’t neglect the hospital in the future,”
Shen Jianchuan quickly replied. “When I saw Uncle Liu in the past, he was so glorious. I didn’t expect him to be so miserable in his later years.”
“If the Song family received the news before us and came to take revenge, the consequences would have been unimaginable.” Old Master Shen placed his hands behind his back and his expression was dignified. “I’ll go to the hospital to guard tomorrow. I want to see how brave the Song family members are.”
“We’ll go to the hospital together tomorrow. Dad, you sleep first. I’ll go play chess with Uncle Lin.”
“It’s so late already. Who would be in the mood to play chess?” Old Master Shen glared at him.
“Xiao Qi has finally begged me once. I have to do a good job for her.” After saying that, Shen Jianchuan opened the door and walked out.
Old Master Lin was next door to the father and son pair. At that moment, he had a serious expression on his face as he stood in front of the French window. Compared to Old Master Shen and Lu Qianqian, he was even more worried because his mind was filled with Lin Mu’an and Lu Qianqian.
“Uncle Lin, do you want to play chess?”
Old Master Lin turned to look at Shen Jianchuan and nodded. “Yes.”
He was feeling frustrated and he needed to vent it out as soon as possible.
Hence, the two of them sat down and got someone to prepare a chessboard. However, Old Master Lin lost three games in a row and in the end, he decided to play shamelessly. “You brat, you’ve been quiet for so many years, why are you still so smart?”
“It’s because Uncle Lin is absent-minded. Is there something troubling you? Why don’t you tell me and let the younger generation help you solve your problems?” Shen Jianchuan laughed. “After seeing Uncle Liu today, both you and father’s expressions did not look good. However, you’re even more depressed than my father. I’m guessing there might be something else.”
Old Master Lin was stunned. He pointed at Shen Jianchuan. “You’re still so sharp. I do have something else on my mind. You have a daughter and you should understand that I only have Lin Mu’an as my grandson. He and the Lu family’s daughter are about to get engaged, but I still don’t feel at ease.”
“Is there a reason why?” Shen Jianchuan took the opportunity to ask.
“I’m just… having some sort of suspicion.” Old Master Lin was initially unwilling to say, but after thinking for two seconds, he sighed and said, “Forget it, you’re not an outsider. I’m just suspecting that Lu Qianqian is out there having relations with other men.”
“Uncle Lin, have you b.u.mped into them before? Or did someone say something to you?”
“During dinner, I saw Mu’an wearing a cufflink. It was a gift from Qianqian. Today, I saw another man wearing it as well. Furthermore, he knew Qianqian and called her by her name intimately. He also knew about my ident.i.ty through Qianqian. If it were you, as an elder, what would you think?
“These are all family matters and it’s rather embarra.s.sing. But I know that that grandson of mine only has one girl in his heart and it took me a long time to accept Lu Qianqian. I never thought that something like this would happen now. How can I accept this?”
Shen Jian Chuan nodded after he heard that. “Since it’s a question, then go and find out instead of keeping it in your heart. What if it’s a misunderstanding?”
“I want to, but… I don’t even know where to start.” The old man spread out his hands and said, “The young people nowadays are really confusing.”
“I don’t think that Qianqian girl is that kind of person. How about this, Qiqi has a very good relations.h.i.+p with her. I’ll get her to help you test her out in secret. What do you think?”
“They have a good relations.h.i.+p. What if they collude together?” Old Man Lin was not going to fall for this trick.
“This daughter of mine is not someone who grays the line between right and wrong for the sake of her friends. If you are worried, then leave this matter to me and I will help you to find out the truth.” Shen Jianchuan took the task.
“Will that be alright?”
“There’s nothing to worry about, but you have to tell me who that man is.”
“I’m not sure either. I keep feeling that he is very familiar, as if I’ve seen him somewhere before.” Old Master Lin recalled carefully, “I’ll tell you when I remember.”
“Alright, then don’t keep worrying about him. After all, your health is more important.”
“Sigh, you’re still the most steady one. If it weren’t for those years, Jianchuan… would have been yours long ago.”
“I have a daughter and a son-in-law. This is already the best blessing that the heavens have given me.” Shen Jianchuan did not think much of it. It was a blessing in disguise.
Old Master Lin did not say anything more and continued the game of chess with Shen Jianchuan. Perhaps it was because he had opened up a knot in his heart that he focused a lot of his energy in this round. This time, Shen Jianchuan did not win so easily.
After returning to his room, Shen Jianchuan looked at the time. It was already close to midnight, so he decided to wait for the next morning before he called his daughter back.
They would never have thought that the person who was causing trouble was a member of the Song family.
It was Song Bozhi!
Song Bozhi had already planted the seeds of doubt in Old Master Lin’s heart. Of course, he would also put on a more pretentious act to make Old Master Lin completely think that Lu Qianqian had another man.
While there were just too many smart people around Old Master Lin, he was still determined to make Old Master Lin “worry about him” after having shown himself to him on the plane.
