Chapter 892: Did I Agree to Let You Go Out?
Sheng Xiao had long gotten used to this little one in his house. She was a troublemaker to begin with, but even so, he had never gotten tired of her. It was just that sometimes, when she was angry, she did not even care about herself.
After he returned to Zhongteng, he thought about what Mu Qiqi had said from the beginning to the end. Usually, apart from the internal conflicts at home, Lu Qianqian and Lin Mu’an never offended anyone else. But now, there was clearly someone who was trying to drive a wedge between Lu Qianqian and Old Master Lin.
Why would Sheng Xiao make such a connection?
Because Vice President Qin had told him before that Song Bozhi would occasionally appear in front of Lu Qianqian, whether intentionally or otherwise.
This meant that Lu Qianqian was indeed one of Song Bozhi’s targets.
What did he want to do? Or rather, what was his ultimate goal?
With that thought, Sheng Xiao sent Shen Jianchuan a picture and told him, “Dad, send this picture to Old Master Lin. He might recognize it.”
Shen Jianchuan was stunned for a moment before he suddenly understood.
He moved his phone closer to Old Master Lin. “Uncle Lin, take a look. Do you recognize this person?”
Old Master Lin immediately put on his reading gla.s.ses and distanced himself from the screen of the phone. He recognized this person as the man he had met on the plane. “It’s him.”
“He’s Jianchuan’s new up-and-comer, the president of the Yashang Group, Song Bozhi,” Shen Jianchuan explained. “He’s also… an enemy of our Shen family.”
Old Master Lin raised his head in surprise and looked at Shen Jianchuan.
Seeing this, he quickly explained. “Do you still remember that secret mission I carried out twenty-five years ago? This is that family.”
Old Master Lin thought about it carefully and remembered this. “So, the Song family came to seek revenge on you? But this and I…”
“Old Master Lin, the Shen family and the Sheng family rely on each other. There is no gap for the Song family to exploit, so he wanted to get the attention of the people around us. Xiao Qi and Lu Qianqian are very close. I think that he must have a motive for doing this. You must not be deceived by such a person.”
“But what if Lu Qianqian really has a relations.h.i.+p with this man? Even if we can prove that this person is your enemy, it can’t prove that Lu Qianqian has nothing to do with him. I’m still afraid that he will use Lu Qianqian to hurt the Lin family and the Shen family.”
Old Master Lin’s thoughts were understandable.
Shen Jianchuan was stunned for a few seconds before he comforted Old Master Lin. “Since Sheng Xiao has already noticed this, you can just pretend that you don’t know for now. If he tries to play tricks again, you will be able to take precautions in time and not be used by him.”
“That girl… Why would he involve such a person?”
“Old Lin, perhaps it’s our Shen family that has implicated the Lu family’s girl.”
Breaking through the people around Mu Qiqi would be the best way to get to her.
This was very smart of Song Bozhi.
“Things are getting more and more complicated. I hope it has nothing to do with that girl.”
After that, Shen Jianchuan replied to Sheng Xiao. The person who created the fog in Old Master Lin’s head was indeed Song Bozhi.
He pretended to have a close relations.h.i.+p with Lu Qianqian and caused Old Master Lin to misunderstand. The marriage between Lu Qianqian and Lin Mu’an might come to an end. If Song Bozhi’s goal was really achieved, then by that time, the relations.h.i.+p between Lu Qianqian and Mu Qiqi…
Song Bozhi was really a poisonous snake.
To think that he actually thought of such a move.
Since he knew the crux of the problem, as long as he proved that Lu Qianqian and Song Bozhi really did not know each other, he would be able to clear Lu Qianqian’s name in front of Old Master Lin.
Old Master Lin cared about two things. One was the cufflinks, and the other was Song Bozhi pretending to be intimate with Lu Qianqian.
At this thought, Sheng Xiao gave Vice President Qin a call and talked about the cufflinks.
“President Sheng, the cufflinks were given to President Lu by someone from the design company previously. They said that there are only two in the world.”
“Go and find out who the other one was given to and how it was given. Be careful. I want proof,” Sheng Xiao instructed.
“I’ll go to London as soon as possible.” Vice President Qin was a smart person and did not need Sheng Xiao’s advice.
Sheng Xiao then hung up. However, when he saw the number on his phone, he scoffed at himself. He had said that this was none of his business, but what was he doing? He had been taught well by Mu Qiqi.
..
In the evening, Sheng Xiao was still in a meeting. However, the special ringtone he set reminded him to focus on his phone.
A text message from Mu Qiqi said, “CEO Sheng, I’ve already booked a table at the restaurant. Please come tonight and watch the night scene with me.”
She was trying to curry favor for no reason.
A few words immediately flashed across Sheng Xiao’s mind. To others, the moment he picked up his phone, he did not look like the usual swift and decisive Sheng Xiao.
There was only one person who could make him show such gentleness. It was none other than his pregnant wife, Mu Qiqi.
Sheng Xiao looked at the message but did not reply.
Mu Qiqi immediately sent a second message. “Master Xiao, I’ve booked the best seat.”
“Did I agree to let you go out? That you could just book the seat.” Sheng Xiao poured a bucket of cold water on her. “You’re becoming more and more unscrupulous now.”
“Just once, just once.”
Sheng Xiao shook his head, put down his phone, and coughed lightly. “Continue.”
..
When night fell, Lin Mu’an went back to his dorm to rest. He saw that Lu Qianqian had sent him a few text messages. “We’re going home this weekend. Let’s go pick out a dress.”
She even added a smiley face.
Lin Mu’an looked at the text message and felt very upset. However, he still hid his complicated feelings and called Lu Qianqian. “You’re not off work yet?”
“I am,” Lu Qianqian said. “Now that I have Vice President Qin, I feel much better.”
“You’re so smug. Since you’re off work, stay at home and accompany Mom. Otherwise, when you marry into the Lin family, she will feel very empty.”
“No, she won’t.”
“Silly girl, just take it as you being a subst.i.tute for me. I also want to be filial to your family.”
“Alright, since you’re so filial, I’ll reluctantly agree.” After hearing Lin Mu’an’s words, Lu Qianqian was even more sure that she didn’t love the wrong person.
“Be good and wait for me to come back.”
There was a hidden meaning in Lin Mu’an’s words, but Lu Qianqian didn’t understand the meaning behind it.
Lu Qianqian would never have thought that there would be so many hidden dangers behind the engagement ceremony that she had been so looking forward to.
And the culprit, Song Bozhi, was currently in a hotel in Luo Hai, discussing with his G.o.dbrother, whom he didn’t approve of, how to kill that person surnamed Liu…
“Dad, have you gone senile? Why did you call this person here? To collude with the Sheng family?”
After hearing this, Song Jiang glared at him. “He is now my son, Song Jiang, and your brother. During the Yashang Group reception, he offered tea, have you forgotten?”
“I thought you were just trying to humiliate the Sheng family.” Song Bozhi looked Sheng Kai up and down. “What can you do?”
