Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“If that’s true, Mu Tangxue might be eager to carry out her next step now.”
Mu Tangxue was not only eager but she was anxious too. It was because she could not barge into the Shen family and claimed that she was Shen Jianchuan’s daughter given that she was only an eighteen-year-old girl. They would think that she was insane.
Hence, she wanted to know how Mu Qiqi would deal with it. But, it seemed that Mu Qiqi did nothing at the moment.
No, surely she could not wait around doing nothing. If she waited until Papa Mu knew about the truth, she might not be able to leave the Mu family alive.
So, she decided to act directly after much consideration, and stole the DNA report from the study secretly. Then, she sneaked out of the Mu family with the report and the ring.
It was easy to locate where the Shen family was. But, the problem was she could not enter the house because it was a guarded place.
Mu Tangxue paced up and down in front of the Shen family for a long time. She knew very well that the Shen family was just like Pandora’s box. But, she wanted so badly to open that box. At least, it would not be worse than her current state, isn’t it?
So, she went to the guard and said to him, “Sir, I want to meet Grandpa Shen. I need to talk to him about a very serious issue. Could you inform him about that?”
The guard scanned her from top to bottom. He turned her down politely when he saw her holding an envelope in her hands anxiously. “Little girl, please go back now. The senior officer is not going to meet any guest.”
“But, I really have a very important issue. Please, I’m begging you. If I cannot meet him, I might be unable to survive. Please help me.”
Mu Tangxue was good at acting. What she needed to do was cry pitifully and kneel in front of the guard. Then, the guard would only check her ident.i.ty. “Did you bring your identification card? We must make a record of that.”
“Yes,” Mu Tangxue replied immediately.
“Then, wait for me here.”
Grandpa Shen had retired to bed at that time. However, he got up from bed when he heard that and soon started wearing his clothes.
He never thought that the girl would come looking for him so soon.
It was rather interesting.
So, he agreed to meet her in the study that night.
Mu Tangxue was nervous. She did not know what was waiting for her. Then, Grandpa Shen went into the study and took a close look at Mu Tangxue. She did resemble his granddaughter. But, she was not as adorable as Mu Qiqi.
Was it a joke? His granddaughter was nothing like the viper in front of him. She was just an ungrateful girl who had betrayed her own family.
But, Grandpa Mu remained calm. He said to Mu Tangxue, “Little girl, why did you come and meet me so late at night? Do we know each other?”
Mu Tangxue burst into tears. She kneeled down in front of Grandpa Shen. “I’m sorry to disturb you at this late hour, Grandpa Shen. I came because of this.” Then, she handed him the ring and the DNA report.
Grandpa Shen knew what she handed him. But, he acted like he did not know about it. He took the report and started reading it.
He cared not for the ring. The key was the DNA report. He seemed quite stunned after he finished reading it. “Are you…Qiqi?”
Mu Tangxue was stunned for a while when she heard that. Then, she regained her senses. It seemed like Mu Qiqi had not told them the truth, which was a good thing. It was beneficial for her.
“Qiqi is my elder sister. We’re twins. I’m Mu Tangxue.” Mu Tangxue explained to Grandpa Shen in a shaky voice.
“Child, get up now.” Grandpa Shen said to Mu Tangxue immediately. “Don’t kneel there. I never thought that my son, Jianchuan, would still have a pair of twin daughters in this world.”
“Grandpa, please save me. Grandpa Mu knows about it. Soon, he will tell my dad. You’re unaware of it, but my dad likes to abuse me and my sister physically. If he knows that I’m not his daughter, he would never let me leave the Mu family alive.” Mu Tangxue remained kneeling on the floor and she refused to get up. She was crying ceaselessly.
“What about your sister?”
“Grandpa, I’m sure you don’t know about that. She caused my grandma’s death so my dad disowned her and kicked her out of the Mu family. After that, somebody else helped her and she is now living with a man. She no longer treats herself as one of the Mu family members.
“Come, get up now. Poor child.” Grandpa Shen helped Mu Tangxue to stand up. Then, he said to her, “What about this, child? I’ll arrange for you to live in a small house near us. Don’t return to the Mu family anymore. But, I need some time to make proper arrangements here. So, you need to stay in the small house first. But, I’ll ask somebody to go and take care of you. Is that okay?”
“Thank you, Grandpa. I have no place else to go now.”
“Good, I’ll arrange it for you now. You can look him up if you need anything.”
Then, Grandpa Shen made a few calls and made the proper arrangements.
He planned to let her stay first so as to allow her ample time to act in her own drama.
Mu Tangxue was not suspicious at all. She did not know that she was just like an invisible being in front of Grandpa Shen. She even tried her best to put on a show.
Grandpa Shen found it hard to pretend in front of her anymore. So, he immediately suggested to her that he would arrange for her to stay in a place first. Then, he would take the necessary steps.
Mu Tangxue was delighted. She felt that Grandpa Shen would adore her deeply just by looking at his facial expression.
She even got to slander Qiqi just now, claiming that she was living with a man.
Soon, they came to another small house of the Shen family. They even took good care of her under Grandpa Shen’s command.
Grandpa Shen called his friend the minute Mu Tangxue left him. “That little girl really came and put on a show in front of me.”
“What did you do?”
“I arranged for her to stay in a house nearby. I’ll let her a.s.sume that she’s really part of the Shen family. I just want to see what else she could do.
“Did you know? She really told me that Qiqi caused her grandma’s death. She even told me that Qiqi is living with a man now.”
His friend could not help but advise him when he realized that Grandpa Shen was quite angry. “Just give her a lesson since she’s just a greedy girl. Why do you have to be angry at that?”
“That man from the Mu family always abuses Qiqi physically. I don’t know how many times they’ve wronged and framed her.”
“Then, you should really give them hard lessons. You should use the best way to welcome Qiqi back and ignore Mu Tangxue, isn’t it?”
Grandpa Shen felt a little bit better after he heard that. “Then, I could rip her skin off that time!”

Mu Tangxue was excited the night she went to live in the small house. It was because she finally found another person to rely on. She would surely return to the Mu family one day and get it over with…
She would never be scared of her father anymore. It was because she would be Young Lady Shen soon!
