Chapter 212: They Cannot Indulge Mu Qiqi
Soon, the dinner ended happily.
The Shen family saw Mama Sheng to the door, including Mu Qiqi. Mu Qiqi really adored Sheng Xiao’s mother. It was just like how she adored Sheng Xiao. It seemed to be fate.
Unknowingly, Mama Sheng adored Mu Qiqi too, and had strong feelings toward her.
It was just like what she felt for her son. Mu Qiqi had a kind of stubborness in her which she would never give up easily. It must have resulted from Sheng Xiao’s guidance. She understood her son well. Moreover, Qiqi did not have an easy life. So, she chose to side with her that night. Another reason why she did so was because Cen Suyun was truly annoying.
“That’s fine. We’ll bid each other goodbye now. Jianchuan is rather small. We can meet each other easily if we want.”
“Beautiful aunt, please be careful on your way back.”
“Xiao Qin, goodbye.”
Mama Sheng shook her head and pointed to her car. “Qiqi, ask Sheng Xiao to come and visit me at Sheng Residence if there’s a chance.”
“Sure.”
Mama Sheng smiled and got into the car. Then, she left. At that moment, she never doubted her own son because she believed that only a witch falling from the sky could be with her son given how his character was. He might not fall for Qiqi given that she still needed his guidance. Hence, Mama Sheng did not dwell much on their relations.h.i.+p. She also did not know that her son had another home out there.
Mu Qiqi felt guilty as she watched Mama Sheng leave.
Xiaoxiao’s mother was so nice but… It seemed like she was repaying her kindness with wickedness. She had led Xiaoxiao into h.e.l.l. If their relations.h.i.+p was exposed one day, what would happen to those people who cared about them?
“Sheng Xiao’s mother is still an iron lady even after so many years has pa.s.sed.” Grandpa Shen could not help but sigh. “Xiao Qi, you’ll have another sponsor from now on.”
Shen Ruoyi was standing behind them. She seemed rather pale because she never thought that Mama Sheng would not even take a glance at her. Mama Sheng’s whole attention was on Mu Qiqi only.
She knew that her mother was wrong that night. So, she could not say anything to please the others. Even if that was the case, she was surely much more outstanding than Mu Qiqi.
“Luckily, the Sheng family is wise. They would not be fooled by a few words. If not, surely everything will be under Cen Suyun’s control tonight.” Huang Yu put both of her hands behind her and sneered. “Dad, I don’t know why Third Aunt always dislikes Qiqi. When did Qiqi annoy her?”
Grandpa Shen could not hold back his anger anymore when she brought that up. He walked toward the living room after he said to Shen Ruoyi, “Ask your mother to come and meet me.”
“Grandpa…”
“Now!”
He wanted to deal with it now.
Shen Ruoyi was paled but she obeyed her grandpa obediently. She went to her mother’s room. She pushed the door open and said to her mother, “Mom, Grandpa wants to meet…”
“Hmm! What does he want? Surely, he wants to scold me for what happened just now! Cen Suyun sneered coldly. Then, she got up from the sofa directly and went toward the living room rather angrily.
At that moment, everybody was there in the living room, including Mu Qiqi.
“Why? Is this an interrogation?” Cen Suyun looked at Grandpa Shen directly. She was not afraid at all.
“Just look at what you did. Do we need an interrogation?” Grandpa Shen put both of his hands on his knees and sneered icily at her. “To avoid any more trouble from now on, I want you to tell me what you really want. What is your stand? Let’s be frank.”
“Father, are you trying to scare me?” Cen Suyun tilted her head and looked at Mu Qiqi. Then, she walked toward Mu Qiqi. “A lot of things happened recently just because of this illegitimate child.”
“Who’s to blame? You also created quite a mess!” Grandpa Shen shouted angrily. “If you want to stay in this family, just stay. If not, you can get lost! I’m telling you now, if anything similar happens again, you go and twist the facts around again, I’ll kick you out of the Shen family immediately!”
“I…”
“I’m not kidding. I know your little tricks and schemes. I’m telling you now, Cen Suyun. If you ever stand against me like today, you’ll never get anything in the end.”
Cen Suyun forced back her tears. But, she could say nothing. It was because she knew that it would benefit Second Elder, his family, and that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d child if she spoke now.
However, she would not give it up. She could say nothing now but still she could stare at Mu Qiqi in resentment.
Huang Yu saw how ferocious Third Aunt seemed and dragged Mu Qiqi away. “Xiao Qi, don’t bother about her. Go home and rest now. Let me give you a ride home.”
“It’s fine, Second Aunt. I can go back home on my own.” Mu Qiqi shook her head. But, she had something to say to Cen Suyun first. “Third Aunt, since we’re being frank to each other, let me tell you about my thoughts too. I’m not afraid of you when I choose to be patient with you. What kind of wicked people have I not met before? Why should I be afraid of you?
“This is the last time that I’ll tolerate such a thing. If this kind of thing happens again in the future, I’ll certainly avenge myself without even being asked by my grandpa.
“Based on what you said just now, I’m an illegitimate child. Since I don’t have anything to my name and I’m not afraid of fighting for my own rights, I’ve got nothing to lose. But, what about you?”
Cen Suyun smirked slightly. She threw a sarcastic look at Mu Qiqi. Clearly, she was challenging her. She would see how it turned out at the end.
Mu Qiqi did not linger long in the Shen family. She chatted with Grandpa Shen for a while. Then, Huang Yu saw her to the door. Before leaving, Mu Qiqi asked Huang Yu, “Second Aunt, did Third Aunt go to the hospital to see a doctor recently? Or, does she have any kind of medical background?”
“How did you know that her elder brother is a famous surgeon?”
“It means that she could easily get any kind of medicine she wants.”
“So, you’re still suspicious about Third Aunt and Shen Ruoyi regarding what happened during the party in the Lin family?” Huang Yu asked her.
“Second Aunt, I hope that you could help me to keep an eye out for them. If they really did that, I’ll make them compensate for it.”
“Don’t worry.” Huang Yu nodded her head. “Go home now and rest.”
“Thank you, Second Aunt.”
Mu Qiqi then turned away and left the Shen family. Third Uncle and his family were left complaining about it in their room.
Especially Cen Suyun. She almost fainted because of her fury. Shen Ruoyi was the same too. Finally, she realized what her mother said was indeed logical. Mu Qiqi had indeed threatened her status in the Shen family.
No one would notice Shen Ruoyi as long as Mu Qiqi was there.
In fact, she was much more outstanding than Mu Qiqi.
They should never indulge Mu Qiqi in future.

After a chaotic day, Mu Qiqi threw herself into Sheng Xiao’s embrace when she reached home.
Sheng Xiao put down his work and hugged her. He kissed and coaxed her. At the same time, he was sorry for his little one.
“Xiaoxiao…”
