The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Have Su Mi Take the Initiative to Confess? Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Have Su Mi Take the Initiative to Confess? Unrequited love?

This word feels a bit hot in the mouth!

Shen Zhongshuang has never experienced what it’s like to have a crush on someone!

“Unrequited love… What is that?”

“It’s when you think of someone and feel sweet and sour inside, or imagine, what if Mimi confesses her feelings to you, would you accept, big brother?”

Mimi confessing to me…

Just thinking about that scene brought a smile to Shen Zhongshuang’s face, his eyes filled with hope and shining brightly. Being the most refined child in the Shen Family, his smile felt like a breath of spring!

Shen Zhongshuang realized his smile might be a bit too joyful and casually patted his lips.

“I definitely wouldn’t accept just like that! I need to show some restraint. I’ll just wait for her to confess to me! Don’t worry, Qingwu, I have my pace; she won’t lead me by the nose!”

Qingwu raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure?”

If waiting for Mimi to confess to Shen Zhongshuang, Qingwu wasn’t sure if that day would ever come.

Shen Zhongshuang glanced at his surgery schedule, turned around, took off his white coat, put it in the locker, and walked away!

On his way out, he ran into Shen Shaojia, who had just returned from buying shoes, watching Shen Zhongshuang hastily leave the hospital, Shen Shaojia seemed puzzled.

“Big brother, where are you heading? You look like you’re on fire.”

Shen Zhongshuang, without turning back, strode away.

“Going to get your future sister-in-law to confess to me!”

Shen Shaojia: “…Huh? I say one shouldn’t practice medicine, here goes another mad one.”

It’s one thing to go find his future sister-in-law, but expecting her to take the initiative to confess?

Given Shen Zhongshuang’s routine of home-lab-hospital, if he really has a sister-in-law, she’s probably imagined by Shen Zhongshuang himself.

Shen Jishi also concluded: “Purely ill.”

Qingwu shrugged her shoulders and quickly agreed with Shen Shaojia and Shen Jishi: “Agreed.”

Inside Xuan Lengyue’s hospital room.

Elder Pei’s wife sat on a chair next to her, watching Xuan Lengyue, who was deep in sleep.

Elder Xuan sat opposite her, both elders didn’t speak and simultaneously sighed.

“Elder Xuan, you insisted on taking those two kids, now you are facing the consequences, aren’t you?”

“Was it my choice to take them? I had no other choice at that time!”

Elder Pei’s wife scoffed, her droopy eyelids didn’t move, and her lips turned downwards, making her look harsh and unapproachable.

“No choice? You insisted on being a lackey; of course, there was no choice.”

“I’m telling you, Du Lanyi, can’t you speak more like a human?”

“Maybe, if you were a person. If you’re like a pig or a dog, you wouldn’t understand human speech anyway.”

Elder Xuan was furious, but he never had the upper hand in verbal spats throughout the years as Elder Pei’s wife was famously unyielding!

“This is your child; if you don’t care for her, who will?”

Elder Xuan touched his face, “Xuan Jing is gone. I ache for Lengyue. What else can I do but stay by her side? It’s not like I can whip a corpse, right?”

“It’s not an impossibility.”

Elder Pei’s wife glanced at Xuan Lengyue, touched her hand, and sighed with a complicated expression.

“Elder Xuan, the wrong things you’ve done shouldn’t punish the child, right?”

Her eyes became moist, possibly recalling some sad memory, and she turned to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Seeing Elder Pei’s wife’s slightly trembling shoulders, Elder Xuan also sighed.

“I know you care for Lengyue. You used to say that it’d be great if she could be your daughter-in-law… But back then, Lengyue discovered what she shouldn’t have known, other than hiding her, what else could I do?”

For so many years, Elder Xuan had intentionally concealed the existence of Xuan Lengyue.

On one hand, it was because of Xuan Lengyue’s illness, and on the other hand, he did not wish for more people to know that Xuan Lengyue was still alive!

Elder Xuan expressed with helplessness, “Ah Yue’s mind is not well, and in some ways, I am relieved that she can forget those things, but after seeing Shaojia… I regret it!”

With old tears streaming down, a clear teardrop fell along his cheek, which Elder Xuan wiped away entirely.

“If I had known about Shaojia’s existence earlier, Ah Yue would have gotten better. Ah Yue is my only child, how could I bear to lose her?”

The eldest son of the Xuan Family was an adopted child of Elder Xuan, a fact known by very few people.

Xuan Lengyue is Elder Xuan’s only daughter, and for many years, she has held the highest share in the Xuan Family!

This is also why Xuan Jing had tried his best to form a marriage alliance with the Shen Family.

At the mention of Shen Shaojia, Madam Pei sighed.

“Shaojia is a good child, do not mistreat her; our Pei Family will not mistreat her either. I’ve already made a will, all my inheritance will be Shaojia’s! It is what the Pei Family owes her.”

Madam Pei’s eyes were clear, and she raised her walking stick to poke Elder Xuan!

“But the child is not lacking in money, what we can give, the Shen Family and old Mr. Zuo have also given plenty! What she wants, is her mother!”

“Forget it, this is all your own business, rambling on, unable to do even a single thing properly. It doesn’t matter if you die, just don’t leave my granddaughter motherless!”

Madam Pei stood up shakily, her hands trembling.

“I already have three grandsons without a mother, I can’t stand them staring at me asking if their mom will never come back!”

Thinking of the gazes of Pei Jue’s three brothers, Madam Pei felt as if her heart was being torn apart!

Just stepping out of the hospital room, Madam Pei bumped into Shen Shaojia and a few others walking towards her.

Shen Shaojia approached, “Grandma, what are you doing here?”

“I came to see your mom and also to check on old Xuan. Shaojia, you weren’t frightened, were you?”

Shen Shaojia both shook her head and nodded.

She had indeed been frightened, but after holding Shen Jishi and crying for a while she felt much better, and her emotions were relieved!

“As long as you’re fine. These next few days find someone to keep a close watch on your mom, preferably someone who can stay by her side without leaving, you must carefully check all her medications, make sure there are no mistakes!”

Madam Pei’s expression was serious as she held Shen Shaojia’s hand and gave detailed instructions, so meticulous it didn’t seem like caring for a patient, before she walked away.

Shen Shaojia also felt it odd, looking at Madam Pei’s departing figure, she exclaimed with astonishment, “Grandma’s behavior… why does it seem like she’s guarding against a spy?”

Shen Shaojia’s work made her particularly sensitive to these matters.

The things Madam Pei mentioned were incredibly detailed, even mentioning checking the surveillance of Xuan Lengyue’s hospital room daily!

Qingwu watched Madam Pei’s departing direction alone.

She felt as if Madam Pei seemed to know something?

Entering the hospital room, Elder Xuan was watching Xuan Lengyue wipe her tears.

“You’re here, find a place to sit, Ah Yue… I have wronged her. If I had known Xuan Jing was such a child, I would have never agreed to adopt him back then!”

Shen Shaojia asked in confusion, “Xuan Jing was adopted by you?”

Elder Xuan nodded, “Yes, I adopted him and his brothers! Back then, Ye Qilan brought them to me, I couldn’t refuse, if I had known… I wouldn’t have agreed no matter what!”

“I just felt that if I didn’t keep them, Ye Qilan would definitely send them to Beidou Star for experiments, I couldn’t bear it!”

Elder Xuan never imagined that his one act of kindness would end up harming his daughter!

Qingwu’s eyebrows twitched.

“Elder Xuan, do you know about Ye Qilan and Beidou Star’s matter?”

Elder Xuan shook his head and sighed.

“How could I not know? I, too, came out of that hellish place back then.”
