“Young Master, are you planning to tell Miss Qiqi about this now?” Jing Yun turned around and asked Sheng Xiao when he had escorted the experts out of the house.
“I have other arrangements there. But, what is important now is how to reveal the news to Mu Tangxue and make it seem like an unintentional act.” Sheng Xiao looked at Jing Yun sternly. “If we don’t have any other way, we might need Aunt Su’s help.”
“How about the Shen family?”
“You can clock out now.” Sheng Xiao did not brief Jing Yun much regarding his plan. It was because he needed to discuss with Su Zipei first before taking the next step.
By the way, he was rather sad to see Mu Qiqi faced with yet another great challenge given that she had just taken revenge for her mother. Although he was grieved, he still needed to make earlier preparations. Since she belonged to the Shen family, she should return to them so as to have their support and love.
Sheng Xiao went straight to the small villa after work. He did not even notice Mama Sheng who had called after him several times behind him.
Mama Sheng was curious why Sheng Xiao was meeting different kinds of peculiar people recently. She wanted to inquire about it but he ran off the minute he left work.
“Jing Yun, what has your young master been busy with recently? Why cannot I meet him every time I come to Huang Yao?”
“Madam, surely the young master is busy with Huang Yao’s business,” Jing Yun replied.
“Has it got nothing to do with women?”
Jing Yun shook his head.
“Let’s forget about it. It’s useless even if I ask you. You must tell me if you see him with any woman.”
“Sure, Madam.”
Jing Yun covered up for Sheng Xiao. It was because he knew that the people from Sheng family would have a great shock if they knew of the fact that Sheng Xiao had been living together with a eighteen-year-old girl in the same house now.
However, he was unsure of how Sheng Xiao would resolve that issue when the time came. He felt that it would be rather a difficult task. But, what else could he do since his young master did not even hesitate for a single second?
It might be just like what Sheng Xiao said. People should never bow down to their destinies.

It was night. Sheng Xiao reached the small villa. Mu Qiqi rushed to greet him and held his warm hand. “Today, my aunt prepared a great feast. All of them are your favorite…”
“How come she knows of my favorite food so soon?” Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows.
“Even I’m aware of your favorite. For sure my aunt knows about it too.” Mu Qiqi smiled at him. “Xiaoxiao, you don’t know how dangerous today was. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d nearly escaped from being fired.”
Sheng Xiao sat down in front of the dining table. Then, he looked at Su Zipei. “I want to talk to Aunt Su after dinner…”
“Is it something I’m not allowed to know again?” Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao calmly. “Alright. I’ll watch the TV in the living room quietly.”
Sheng Xiao pinched her cheek. In fact, both Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi knew very well that it was related to Mu Qiqi if he needed to discuss it with Su Zipei.
“But, I hope that you won’t treat me as a kid anymore from now on. I’m eighteen years old now.”
“For me, you’ll always be a kid.” Su Zipei could not help but laugh.
After dinner, they went to the study while Mu Qiqi stayed in the living room alone.
But, Su Zipei was curious why Mu Qiqi was not allowed to know about that event.
“Young Master Sheng, why can’t we let Qiqi know about it?”
“It’s not as simple as you think it was.” Sheng Xiao’s eyes darkened. Soon, his eyes became cold and distant. It was rather frightening. Although Su Zipei had met with quite a lot of people now given her age, she still could not see through him.
“Please explain it, Young Master Sheng.”
“The DNA report shows that Qiqi is indeed from the Shen family.”
Su Zipei seemed to have prepared herself for this news. “Since my elder sister was suspicious, it meant that she had her own reasons.”
“But…” Sheng Xiao turned the conversation after his first utterance.
“But?”
“Although Mu Qiqi and Mu Tangxue are twins, Mu Tangxue does not belong with the Shen family. She belongs with the Mu family.” Sheng Xiao told Su Zipei the truth. He seemed playful to her. “It is indeed a peculiar thing but Jing Yun had checked on their DNAs twice. Qiqi is of the Shen family’s blood but Mu Tangxue is of the Mu family’s blood.”
“This…I don’t understand.”
“I even asked the medical experts to clarify the doubts for me. He told me that they are not identical twins but fraternal twins.”
“But, they look so much alike…”
“In short, their mother’s genes are strong so they resemble their mother more. That’s why they seem like a pair of identical twins. As a result, their father’s genes are weakened and it explains why their other differences are not obvious. But, they share no more similarities between them except their looks, especially their characteristics. Their characteristics are so much different from each other.” Sheng Xiao explained in simpler terms.
Su Zipei remained quiet for a short while after she heard that. Then, she began to accept the truth slowly. “There are just all kinds of things in this world.”
“I was suspicious too at first. I thought that the experts were making up stories. So, I forced them to give me concrete and valid cases. At last, there are really twins like that in this world. Qiqi and Mu Tangxue are not the first twins to encounter this kind of situation.”
“Since you’ve investigated and confirmed its authenticity, should we look into what happened to them twenty years ago?” Su Zipei wanted to know about Sheng Xiao’s opinion.
“No!” Sheng Xiao shook his head.
“Regarding this, I have other kinds of arrangements since Qiqi belongs to the Shen family but Mu Tangxue doesn’t. Mu Tangxue would surely a.s.sume that she belongs to the Shen family if you tell her that Qiqi belongs to the Shen family since they look like each other.
“Then, she would surely try her best to get rid of the Mu family and go to meet the Shen family so she could be with her true family.
“Surely, she would infuriate the Mu family during the process, especially Papa Mu. He would then be anxious and nervous when he knows that he has helped raise another’s daughter. Then, our investigation will become easier.
“On the other hand, Mu Tangxue would surely take the first chance to go and meet the Shen family when she knows about the truth. It is because she knows that Qiqi would return to the Shen family one day. So, she would then use her usual tricks and act pitiful in front of the Shen family. She would surely twist the truth around and condemn Qiqi.”
“Isn’t that bad for Qiqi?”
Sheng Xiao shook his head when he heard that. “I’ll tell Grandpa Shen about the truth beforehand. Then, it would be useless no matter how hard Mu Tangxue put on a show in front of them.
“At last, the Shen family would only accept Qiqi.”
Su Zipei understood what Sheng Xiao meant now. She was rather shocked too because the others might not be able to plot such a powerful scheme.
It would help to ruin the Mu family and humiliate Mu Tangxue at the same time.
They could also investigate the truth about that event.
