Chapter 231: I Will Go Crazy
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In fact, Mu Qiqi knew it clearly. It was almost impossible to get rid of those two people completely after what happened last night. They would not be driven out from the Shen family for good as they had not done anything unforgivable yet. After all, Grandpa Shen was just angry at that time.
But the incident had forced them to lower themselves and apologize to her. She thought she deserved their apology.
Because she really had nothing to do with what had happened.
So, she replied Huang Yu. “I will go right after cla.s.s.”
Later, Mu Qiqi texted Sheng Xiao, telling him that she would go to the hospital after cla.s.s. Sheng Xiao replied in just one sentence. “Don’t make me hear your sad voice again or I will go crazy.”
Mu Qiqi saw him getting very angry last night. She did not want him to lose his cool. “I will not give face to them anymore.”
“Great!”
Mu Qiqi’s sad voice was still ringing in Sheng Xiao’s mind. Every time he thought of it, he felt like he wanted to pull out a gun and kill people. His precious treasure was trampled over by some trash. If it were you, what would you feel?
Mu Qiqi smiled and put her phone aside. Because looking from the way Sheng Xiao had lost his temper last night, she realized how deep his affection was toward her.
She had always thought that she loved him more. But, from Xiaoxiao’s concerned face last night, she could see how much he cared for her. She suddenly thought that she was too stupid and naïve in the past.
…
After the incident of Shen Ruoyi, Lin Mu’an continued texting Lu Qianqian like he used to, but Lu Qianqian stopped replying his messages.
“Hey, did I do anything wrong that made you angry?”
Lu Qianqian read the message. But still she did not reply. She could imagine what people would say about her once she was mentioned.
Cheap, improper, shameless. And they must not socialize with her.
Because of this, when Mu Qiqi decided to treat her the same as her best friend regardless of what other people would think of her, Lu Qianqian swore to put Mu Qiqi as her first priority. No man could replace Mu Qiqi’s position in her heart.
She could have no man. But she must have this friend.
Lin Mu’an had somehow guessed what Lu Qianqian was thinking when his message was not replied. They were all adults. Unlike those naïve youngsters, they were more realistic and practical in handling such problems.
Since they were two people from two different worlds, they should just not be together. Why should they force it and cause unnecessary harm to each other?
Of course, Lu Qianqian had seriously thought about Lin Mu’an’s suggestion that day. Since she had decided not to live abroad, then she should fulfill her responsibility to her family. Therefore, Lu Qianqian told her father, “Father, I will learn business from you from now on.”
Papa Lu was delighted. He smiled lovingly to Lu Qianqian. “No matter how other people look at my daughter, I am always proud of you.”
“Don’t worry, Dad. I will not disappoint you.”
No man would not mature and keep on making the same mistakes with an excuse that they were young.
…
Soon, the sun set. Its brightness dyed the sky red and tainted the tall building of the hospital. At that moment, Mu Qiqi was walking into Grandpa Shen’s ward, holding her textbooks.
“Qiqi, come here.” Huang Yu saw Mu Qiqi’s through the crack of the door and said.
Mu Qiqi pushed open the door and walked in. Grandpa Shen was lying on his bed. Cen Suyun and Shen Ruoyi were standing straight beside the bed, like children being punished by the elder. It seemed they were ready to apologize.
“Xiao Qi…”
“Grandpa.” Mu Qiqi put down her things and sat beside her grandfather.
“Where are the two who should apologize?” Grandpa did not turn and look at them. He simply hinted them to come forward.
Cen Suyun took a deep breath. She forced herself to remain cool although she was reluctant to give in. She exchanged glances with Shen Ruoyi and looked at Mu Qiqi.
“Qiqi, I accused you wrongly last night. I was wrong. Please don’t be angry anymore. I am sorry.”
“Qiqi, I am sorry, too. I should not simply blame you. I will not do it again. Please forgive us.”
Stiff and awkward utterances. It was as if they were reciting some lines in a drama. There was no sincerity in their apology.
Of course, Mu Qiqi did not even look at them. She lowered her eyes and said, “You are just scared of being driven out of the house. That’s why you are compromising this time. It doesn’t matter if I forgive you or not. It does not seem to be important to you. You said that you will not repeat it again. Only you will believe in your words. But I will forgive you this time for Grandpa’s sake. But if it happens again, I will not spare you.”
“There will be no next time.” Cen Suyun faked a smile. She was reminding herself to keep calm. She just had to bear with it for a little longer. The s.l.u.t will face her doom very soon.
“Qiqi, please believe me. I will educate them properly.” Third Uncle made a promise. “Otherwise, I will be too ashamed to see Father again.”
“Since you have made your apology, you can leave now. I want to talk to Qiqi. I don’t want to see your face for now.” Grandpa Shen held Mu Qiqi’s hand tightly and said.
Third Uncle did not say anything and left with his wife and daughter. It was until when they reached a place where there was no other Shen, Third Uncle said, “Move back to Shen Mansion now before Mu Qiqi does anything and changes the old man’s mind.”
…
In the ward.
“Qiqi, they are always like that. I can’t control them anymore. I am so sorry for what happened to you.”
“You shouldn’t have got angry with them and fallen sick. Are you trying to make me sad?” Mu Qiqi’s eyes teared up. “No matter how hard I fight with them, you should not get so emotional. You are too old to get involved with this already. Please don’t make me feel guilty.”
Grandpa Shen’s hands were trembling. He patted Mu Qiqi on her head. “Indeed my love for you has not gone to waste!”
Third Uncle and his family were only concerned about themselves. They were worried if they would be driven out and got nothing from the Shen family.
But Xiao Qi was different. She cared about his health.
“Next time, when I fight with them again, you should just go and hide near the fishpond. It is not a big deal if the house is blown up.”
“I can just rebuild it.” Grandpa Shen grinned weakly.
Huang Yu teared up in silence. Qiqi was in fact a warm-hearted child. Unlike her, the Third Uncle and his family were cold-hearted.
Fortunately, Grandpa Shen was a rational man. He knew what was right and what was wrong. His fairness had gained himself the love of his granddaughter. If not, his life would be full of regrets.
“They will not stop. Just wait and see.”
Grandpa Shen knew it. What Sheng Xiao said last night was right. He hoped for peace in his family. But some people were greedy. Then, it was time to make sacrifices.
Even after the Third Uncle’s family left the household in the future, he believed that Mu Qiqi would be able to carry the responsibility on her shoulders and be the decision maker in the family.
But, was her relations.h.i.+p with Sheng Xiao just plain and simple or more than that?
It seemed like he had to go out and find an answer for this after he recovered.
