Chapter 131: It’s Already a Mess
“Happy chatting?”
“It is hard to talk with this girl,” said the old man.
“She is just like my old self. She can’t even say a word to a person she is not familiar with. It is so awkward.”
Sheng Xiao put his right hand on Mu Qiqi’s head and pulled her away, as if a mother was protecting her baby. Then, he said, “What fun do you have chatting with her? You should chat with me.”
“She has to return to the Shen family, I should tell the maids to prepare a room for her.”
Mu Qiqi immediately looked at Sheng Xiao when she heard this. But Sheng Xiao just smiled and said, “Uncle Shen, you can acknowledge her as your granddaughter, but it is better not to let her live with you.”
“Why?”
“First of all, Brother Shen’s fiancée has been taking care of him for all these years. If you simply bring Qiqi back to your place, what would she think? Also, all the Shen brothers have already regarded her as their sister-in-law. When you bring Qiqi back like that, won’t it mean that you are letting them bully her?”
“But she is still our family member…”
“Is my villa not as comfortable as your mansion? By the way, Qiqi still has her aunt with her. Won’t it be safer if you just acknowledge her identity and let her live in my villa? Let’s wait until Qiqi is familiar with her uncles, then only she moves in and lives with the Shen family. Isn’t that better?”
Grandpa Shen found his suggestion quite reasonable.
After all, the Shen family needed time to accept this fact.
“But it is impossible for Qiqi not to go to the mansion of the Shen family for her whole life.”
“You can bring her back on New Year or during any other celebration. Who can say anything about that? If you think it is inappropriate for her to live in a house that belongs to the Sheng family, you can just buy it. Anyway, she is used to living there, and she has her aunt to take care of her.”
After hearing Sheng Xiao’s arrangement, Grandpa Shen nodded. “Okay, I will do as you’ve said. But, I might need to trouble Jing Yun…”
Mu Qiqi was very nervous when they were talking. She was worried that Grandpa Shen might not agree to let her live in the villa.
But when Grandpa Shen agreed to it, she was relieved.
Mu Qiqi secretly gave Sheng Xiao a nudge but he signaled her to stay still.
“But Qiqi, you should call Sheng Xiao your uncle, do you address him accordingly?”
Sheng Xiao’s face darkened as soon as Grandpa Shen said it. “I am just eight years older than her.”
“We should not mess the generations up.”
What was he saying? It was already a mess.
Now that they had already been sleeping together, they would not care about the difference in generation. The old man was just so stubborn and traditional.
Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao. She could not make herself call him uncle.
“How is the matter of Brother Shen going?” Sheng Xiao quickly changed the topic and drew everyone’s attention to Shen Jianchuan.
“That scum from the Mu family is wanted. When he is caught, we will see what we can get from his mouth,” Grandpa Shen replied. “Until then, I will tell the Shen family about Mu Qiqi. I do not want to delay the matter regarding Mu Tangxue anymore. That girl is just so full of drama. I really do not want to be with her for another second more. I do not know how far she can get asking for things. I bet you will not believe that she nearly succeeded in making me bring her back to the Shen family.”
“She will definitely ask you to let her see Mu Qiqi and say she wants to reconcile with her.”
Grandpa Shen made a face at Sheng Xiao, as if he had seen a monster. “Don’t say it.”
“She will not be happy being kept in a small house.”
Sheng Xiao was implying that if Grandpa Shen kept on refusing to let Mu Tangxue go to the Shen family, she would make her move. Now that Papa Mu was being hunted down in the whole city, of course she would want to hide in a safe place. And she knew the Shen family was safer than any other place she could hide.
“You don’t believe me? Let’s make a bet.”Read more chapter on NovelFull
Grandpa Shen was actually a very funny old man. Mu Qiqi could feel that Sheng Xiao kept talking to Grandpa Shen because he wanted to make her feel more relaxed.
In the end, the two men kept on talking and talking. As for Mu Qiqi, she picked up the towel and started wiping Shen Jianchuan’s body.
Although she did not feel much for Shen Jianchuan, he was still her father. Her real father!
Soon after, Mu Tangxue’s bodyguard called Grandpa Shen. After Grandpa Shen hung up, he pointed to Sheng Xiao and said, “You are a jinx!”
“Go quick.”
“Send Qiqi back for me,” said Grandpa Shen. He reached his hand out and held Qiqi’s right hand. “I need to leave now. But I only do this for you. I must calm Mu Tangxue down for now. I am not taking her side. You know, right?”
“Yes, I know that.” Mu Qiqi nodded.
“Go home early. I will see you again in a few days’ time.”
Mu Qiqi sent Grandpa Shen out and got into Sheng Xiao’s car.
Only after Mu Qiqi had secured her seatbelt, Sheng Xiao said to her, “Just now, you estranged yourself from Grandpa Shen because you thought that you have to move back to the Shen’s residence. Am I right?”
Mu Qiqi nodded. “I do not want to be separated from you.”
“Who can make you leave me if I do not agree?” Sheng Xiao laughed. Then, he started driving back to their home. “All these were in my plan. You don’t have to worry about anything at all.”
“But, you have become my uncle now!”
“Then I shall let you see if I am your uncle or your man!” Sheng Xiao’s eyes were burning with desire when he looked at Mu Qiqi. Mu Qiqi flushed. “No matter what the other people say about us. I just want you to be sure that we are partners. We cannot be separated regardless of soul and flesh.”
“I will remember it!”
“But, I am really hoping that Mu Tangxue will take this matter to the Shen family. The more she does the better.” Sheng Xiao smiled as he was driving.
And Mu Qiqi stared at his profile with a fascinated look. His well-defined features looked very charming and sexy under the flickering street lights.
…
Sheng Xiao was right!
Mu Tangxue was depressed when she accidentally got to know that Grandpa Shen wanted to meet Mu Qiqi today.
Why didn’t Grandpa Shen want to bring her back to the Shen family yet?
Why must she stay in this house and let her life be threatened by that scum?
She could not just sit there and wait for her death. So, she purposely acted in great shock and said that she could feel Papa Mu nearby, wanting to take her life. She acted as a frightened girl with great effort. She even hit her head against the wall. Her acting skill had really impressed the bodyguards.
So, she had begged the bodyguards to bring her to the Shen family, to a safe place, or she would continue her self-abuse.
The bodyguards were helpless so they contacted Grandpa Shen.
Grandpa Shen let out a heavy sigh. But then, he laughed. “Since I am the one asking for this great drama, let’s just make it as big as possible!”
“Let the girl go to the Shen residence. I want to make her the shield to protect Qiqi from the bullets!”
“Since she wants it so badly, we should grant her that wish!”
