Chapter 1273: Chapter 1288: Growing Old With You (Part 4)
Shu Cunyu looked at Wen Nuan for a long time without speaking.
Wen Nuan sat there, sizing up Shu Cunyu. Is this Shu Mengmeng’s adoptive father?
He appears quite refined and also fairly good-looking, but——
Thinking about him adopting the daughter of his first love as a foster child, it gave her a strange feeling, no matter how she thought about it, it seemed creepy!
Have I read too many novels?
Qin Shaojin smiled innocently, "Nuannuan, he is Shu Mengmeng’s father."
Shu Mengmeng’s father!
Just as expected!
Recalling that Shu Mengmeng, Wen Nuan shivered all over, having had nightmares all through last night; in them, either Shu Mengmeng or the dead infant in the picture kept trying to strangle her, almost scaring her to death in the dream.
Shu Cunyu’s expression instantly turned unpleasant upon hearing Shu Mengmeng’s name, "Xiaosan, is there any progress in Mengmeng’s case?"
Qin Shaojin looked at Shu Cunyu, "There’s no mystery in the case. It’s been settled; what further progress could there be?"
Shu Cunyu sat there without speaking further.
Qin Shaonan spoke from beside him, "Uncle, Xiang Xiran won’t escape it, don’t worry."
Shu Cunyu looked at Qin Shaonan and nodded, "That’s good."
He then looked at Wen Nuan.
Out of politeness, Wen Nuan smiled at him.
Shu Cunyu nodded toward her and looked at Shu Ran, "When are you planning to get engaged again?"
Shu Ran looked at Qin Shaojin.
Qin Shaojin looked at Shu Ran and Shu Cunyu, "We’re skipping the engagement and going straight to marriage, should be soon."
Shu Cunyu listened without voicing any opinion, merely nodding, his expression hardly pleasant.
Shu Ran gazed at Shu Cunyu, "Brother~"
Shu Cunyu snapped back to reality, looked at Shu Ran, forcing a smile as he asked, "The second one hasn’t married yet, is the third intending to jump ahead of the second?"
Shu Ran glanced at Qin Shaonan, "Seems that way."
Shu Cunyu glanced in the direction of Qin Shaonan and Qin Shaojin.
Qin Shaojin smiled, looking at Qin Shaonan, "Second brother, you have no objections, right?"
Qin Shaonan, "None."
Shu Cunyu said nothing more, sitting there in discomfort.
Wen Nuan observed that Qin Shaonan’s uncle seemed displeased with her and Qin Shaonan’s marriage!
Humph, is that Shu Mengmeng pregnant, intending to shove the child to Master Headliner?
The atmosphere became awkward.
Qin Shaonan and Qin Shaojin exchanged glances, then looked at Shu Ran.
Shu Ran gazed at Shu Cunyu, "Brother, did you know about Mengmeng’s pregnancy?"
"You... what did you say?"
Shu Cunyu looked at Shu Ran.
Shu Ran sat there with a not-so-good face, saying softly, "Brother, during the autopsy, Mengmeng was already four months pregnant, the fetus was stillborn."
Shu Cunyu sat silently for a long time, breathing heavily.
"Brother?"
Shu Ran called out.
Upon hearing Shu Ran’s voice, Shu Cunyu regained his composure, looking at Shu Ran, "Impossible, how is that possible? Mengmeng always liked Xiaosan, unless the child was Xiaosan’s."
Qin Shaojin sat there, his handsome face immediately darkened, "Does uncle still think I forced her back then?"
Shu Cunyu looked at Qin Shaojin, "Mengmeng is a good child, she wouldn’t lie."
Qin Shaojin laughed, "The stillborn baby is still there, uncle, how about doing a DNA test?"
Shu Cunyu looked up at Qin Shaojin.
Qin Shaojin sat there, gazing at Shu Cunyu, his face rarely stern, "Interestingly, someone seems to be playing tricks, even sending a stillborn as a gift during Huanhuan’s baby’s hundred-day feast."
