“You’re right. Sheng Xiao was able to establish Zhongteng after he left, so why wouldn’t I be able to do the same?

  “But if we leave, we won’t be able to inherit Grandpa’s fortune. Ziling, it’s not the right time now. Let’s endure it for a little bit longer.”


  Hearing about the inheritance, Gu Ziling stopped talking. She did not want to let the other Shengs get the advantage, especially Mu Qiqi and Hu Ran.

  “But I have never been wronged like this ever. Never!”


  Thinking back about Sheng Xiao’s humiliation, Gu Ziling felt very uncomfortable.

  “Don’t worry, I will note this down in my mind. When Grandpa dies and we get the inheritance, we will settle old scores.”


  Sheng Kai must not be aware of how ugly he looked now.

  Of course, after Sheng Kai said those words, he no longer regarded Sheng Kai as his brother in his heart anymore. If they met in the future, they would only be enemies.

  Grandpa Sheng woke up and sat quietly on the bed. After a long time, he finally asked Sheng Bowen, “How long was I in a coma?”


  “One night, Grandpa. After this, you should just let us handle the matters in the Sheng family. You can’t take anymore stress,” Sheng Bowen said to Grandpa Sheng.

  Grandpa Sheng was in a daze. He stared into the space, unable to focus. After a while, he said, “Yeah, I can’t manage it anymore. I will leave Huang Yao to you now. I won’t worry, because you have a generous heart. Just let Second Brother and his wife be arrogant, Eighth Brother will not do nothing if they want to cause trouble. Then, in the end, doesn’t it mean that Huang Yao is still managed by Eighth Brother? Why should I worry? My only regret is that apart from Fourth Sister who is pregnant, none of you have a child yet. I don’t have the opportunity to watch the next generation of the Sheng family be born.”


  “Grandpa, you will.”


  “The eldest one is a playboy. He never gets serious about anything. The second one is infertile and the fifth rarely comes back after immigrating. The sixth one is unworthy and the seventh has gone crazy. Who can I count on now?”


  “Grandpa, are you saying that Second Brother cannot have a child?” Sheng Bowen picked up on the key point and asked Grandpa Sheng.

  “Don’t tell anyone about this. You and Xiao Ran should hurry up.”


  Hearing the news, Sheng Bowen was rather shocked.

  Sheng Kai was actually unable to have a child. Perhaps something was destined from the start.

  “So, don’t be so harsh on him.”


  After falling into a coma twice, Grandpa Sheng felt that his remaining time was a bonus. He now just wanted to live his days peacefully and not think about hatred and schemes.

  Unfortunately, Second Brother and his wife were straying further and further away from the path of reunion as a happy family……

  Xu Che informed Mu Qiqi of Sheng Xiao throwing a tantrum in the hospital. So, she did not go to the police station after class. Instead, she went straight to Zhongteng.

  The secretary saw her and wanted to knock on the door for her, but Mu Qiqi gestured to stop, and she took the coffee for Sheng Xiao from the secretary.

  It’s already late but he still wanted to drink coffee?

  “Get a glass of water.”


  The secretary did as she said, and soon, handed a glass of water to Mu Qiqi.

  Mu Qiqi knocked on the door and walked toward Sheng Xiao. She stood beside him but he did not notice it was her. He took the glass and drank it. Only when he found that it was plain water did he look up in puzzlement.

  “It’s nearly six o’clock, and you’re still drinking coffee?”


  Sheng Xiao put down his pen and leaned back on the chair in a relaxed manner. He turned to Mu Qiqi. “Why are you here?”


  “Because somebody went amok today in the hospital. I think you need my comfort. So, I came.” Mu Qiqi sat on his lap. “Are you bothered by Sheng Kai’s matter?”


  Sheng Xiao shook his head. “I don’t see him as my brother anymore. So I wont waste my time on him.”


  “Then why are you still pulling a long face?”


  “I just……”


  “You just feel that Sheng Kai has failed you and that you have failed Huang Yao, right?” Mu Qiqi made a guess. “Although you never make a mistake in business, Sheng Kai is a man, and a very ambitious one at that. A person’s changes are not something you can control.”


  Sheng Kai gently stroked Mu Qiqi’s hair. Since Mu Qiqi did not go to the autopsy room, her hair smelled nice. So, he let his guard down and temporarily removed his invincible armor.

  “As long as you don’t feel guilty, that’s good enough.”


  He did not expect this little one to know how to comfort him in return now.

  “Just let Third Brother handle the matter from now on. You know he has to face it himself one day.

  “Look at you. You don’t seem to be able to continue working. Diligent Chief Sheng, why not skip work today?”


  Sheng Xiao raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He put Mu Qiqi down and said, “I’ll send you to the forensics laboratory.”


  “No, I’ll accompany you tonight. We can do whatever you want to do.”


  Feng Shanshan and Tang Yan must be there anyway, so the professor shouldn’t be short of help. Her man needed her accompaniment more than they needed her there.

  He was a god of war who never lost. But there were times when he was weak and his thoughts ran wild……

  In the evening, Gu Ziling brought dinner to the ward. When seeing Grandpa Sheng, her face became stiff. “These are all the dishes the butler asked the kitchen to prepare for you. They are your favorites.”


  “Third Brother, you and Xiao Ran can rest first. It’s sufficient with Ziling here.”


  Sheng Bowen glanced at Hu Ran and answered, “Then we will go back and rest.”


  Actually, it was sort of a compromise. They wanted to let Gu Ziling know that they had never wanted to take the chance to ask Grandpa Sheng to amend his will. That it was all Sheng Kai’s imagination.”


  “Go.” Grandpa Sheng waved at them. After they were gone, Grandpa Sheng said to Gu Ziling, “Second Brother can’t have a child. What’s your plan?”


  “I plan to talk to him and try an IVF,” Gu Ziling replied. “I heard what you said this afternoon. You said you want to see the birth of the next generation.”


  “I’m old and can’t do much anymore. The world belongs to you young people. But Ziling, since you are the one I chose, there must be something that makes you shine. I hope that you and Second Brother can support each other instead of becoming a stumbling block for each other. Since you have a plan already, just carry on.”


  Gu Ziling planned to do so because once they had a child, they would be able to get a larger share of Grandpa Sheng’s legacy.

  Seeing the condition Grandpa Sheng was in now, it was not the sign of longevity at all. So, she had to prepare everything in advance.

  However, if she revealed this to Sheng Kai, he might go crazy.

  And what’s more worrying was that even if Sheng Kai agreed with it, the quality of his sperm was bad.

  She must think of a comprehensive plan……
