Chapter 230: Apologize Face-to-face
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Grandpa, you always tell me that we cannot judge a person for one mistake that he has made. After all, Lu Qianqian is not a bad person at all. Just because her reputation is not very good, we cannot even have normal interactions. That is not the right way, isn’t it?”
“You are just like Qiqi. The young people now make friends with all sorts of people, unlike us the old men.” Grandpa Shen sat up straight and spoke for Lin Mu’an.
“Since Grandpa Shen had already said so, I will let you go this time. But remember who you are. You should have less contact with girls like Lu Qianqian.”
“Grandpa, I know what to do.”
Grandpa Lin harrumphed. The matter was settled for now. But when they mentioned Shen Ruoyi, Grandpa Lin still felt sorry for her. “It’s a pity for that child, Ruoyi.”
But at the same time, Grandpa Shen was thinking about Mu Qiqi instead of Shen Ruoyi.
Seeing her getting so sad, would she believe in him again?
“Old Shen, since the two children fought so hard because of this, we should just call off the matter between Mu’an and Ruoyi.”
Grandpa Shen nodded. “I understand. We cannot force them to get into a relations.h.i.+p. Just let them decide on their own.”
“You are right.”
Lin Mu’an felt relieved. But at the same time, he was a little bit annoyed. Because in the eyes of the elders, nothing was dirtier than a girl having a miscarriage, not even murder or any other crimes. They would only think that it was the girl who was improper.
But to him, she had just met the wrong person, that’s all.
…
After Grandpa Lin and Lin Mu’an left, Huang Yu sat beside Grandpa Shen and said, “Shen Lin has thrown the mother and the daughter out of the mansion. Father, I know that you were just angry when you said that. You might not mean it. But Shen Lin…”
“It’s good that they were thrown out of the house.” Grandpa Shen unexpectedly supported Shen Lin in his action. “If they don’t have their lesson, they will continue to harm Qiqi. They are shameless.”
“Qiqi must have felt very sad about being wronged. But when I called her, she still came to see you. Perhaps, she was not angry with you although she was sad.”
“I am very sorry for that child, and Jianchuan.” Grandpa Shen sat on the bed, clutching the blanket in his hands. He could not calm himself down. When he thought about that moment, he hated Cen Suyun even more.
“Qiqi will understand you. and I can see that Sheng Xiao cares very much about that child.”
Grandpa Shen did not say anything. This was what he was worrying about. Shen Jianchuan was in fact the person that knew him the best. Shen Ruoyi liked Sheng Xiao so much when she had no chance of getting close to him. And now that Qiqi was spending time with Sheng Xiao, what did she think of Sheng Xiao?
But, Grandpa Shen did not say anything out of his concern.
…
Because they were driven out of the mansion, Shen Ruoyi and Cen Suyun had spent the night in a hotel. When Shen Qinfeng had returned home after a business trip and found out that his wife and daughter were driven out of the house, he was angry. Even if they had done something wrong, they were still family. Must he be so harsh to them?
Shen Qinfeng went to the hotel and put their luggage into the car. “Let’s go home.”
“Father, we were driven out by Grandpa.”
“You are my family. Who dares to chase you away? Let’s go to the hospital.”
Having said that, Shen Qinfeng brought his wife and daughter to the hospital. Then, he found out the location of the ward Grandpa Shen was staying.
“Stay out here. I will go in first.” Shen Qinfeng stopped them at the door and entered the ward. Then, he questioned his father. “Father, it was just one night I was not here. How come my wife and daughter were thrown out of Shen Mansion already?”
“Third Brother, Father has just woken up. You should not make him angry!” Huang Yu immediately said.
“I can, but I must bring Ruoyi and Suyun back home. Must we make things ugly when we are a family? Father, you are forcing me to stand against Mu Qiqi.”
Grandpa Shen listened to him and then he said, “Then you can move out as well.”
“Father…”
“Who makes you not to educate your woman and your daughter properly? They behave recklessly just because I am old. They blame this and that. Are you trying to send me to the afterworld?” Grandpa Shen said ruthlessly. “You can choose to stay or leave with them.”
“Father, I will remind them not to do this again. Please give us one more chance. If they repeat the same mistake, you can chase us out by then.”
“Please, for the sake of Ruoyi. Don’t you always say that you do not want to let your granddaughter wander outside? Didn’t you bring Qiqi home because you didn’t want your flesh and blood to stay outside?”
Grandpa Shen was silent. Finally, he said his condition. “They can come back with one condition. The mother and the daughter must apologize to Qiqi face-to-face. And they must swear that they will not commit the same mistake again. Or else, I will not forgive them!”
“Alright, I will tell them to apologize to Mu Qiqi.”
“Right in front of me!”
“I promise.” Shen Qinfeng had no choice but to leave the ward after the discussion. He told the mother and the daughter about the condition. Cen Suyun felt awful after hearing this.
Last night, Mu Qiqi had slapped both the mother and the daughter in their faces.
“You want me to apologize to a b.a.s.t.a.r.d child. I would rather die.”
“You should endure it this time and find another chance to teach her a lesson. Do you really want to wander outside?”
Cen Suyun thought for a moment and nodded, very unwillingly. “I will just bear with it once.” Because she and Shen Ruoyi had discovered the place Mu Qiqi lived with a man. Once they got evidence, she would make Mu Qiqi kneel in front of her with everyone present!
“Ruoyi, what do you think?” Shen Qinfeng asked his daughter.
“I will do as you say.” How could she live outside the Shen family? Moreover, once she left the Shen family, it would be difficult for her to deal with Mu Qiqi again.
“Well then, let’s find a time to apologize to Mu Qiqi. And remember, you two should behave yourself. Don’t criticize Mu Qiqi again in front of Father. You know that she is his treasure now.”
“Huh.” Cen Suyun harrumphed. “What kind of a treasure she is? Once the old man knows about Mu Qiqi’s true self, I bet he would want to become blind.”
“You can say that only when you have proof. If not, you will face the same thing as yesterday.”
“Just you wait!”
In the afternoon, Mu Qiqi received a phone call from Huang Yu. “Qiqi, when will you be free? Come and see your grandfather. And the two want to apologize to you face-to-face!”
