Chapter 132: I Still Have to Pretend Not to Know You
Mu Tangxue had hit her head so hard until she bled. No one could bear seeing her like that.
Grandpa Shen was very surprised. He had never seen a young girl could go so far and use all means just to get what she wanted.
Compared to the one being wanted by the police, this one was more terrifying.
However, the members of the Shen family were also not easygoing people. If they found out that Shen Jianchuan had two daughters, although they might not chase them away, they would show their att.i.tudes toward them. They would definitely give scornful looks and make sarcastic remarks to the twins, especially after being together with Shen Jianchuan’s fiancée for so many years. After all, they regarded her as their sister-in-law and respected her very much.
If both the sisters were Shen Jianchuan’s daughter, Grandpa Shen thought that it might be a big problem. He might not be able to bring the two back to the Shen family. But now that he knew Mu Tangxue was not his granddaughter, he was very glad to let her show up at the Shen family first. He wanted to make her the doormat, and let Qiqi enjoy the privilege of having a sister.
So, as soon as he left the hospital, he went straight to the small house to fetch Mu Tangxue. Perhaps letting her to temporarily live in the room he had prepared was not a problem.
When Mu Tangxue knew that she was finally going to live in the mansion of the Shen family, she was exhilarated. However, she could not show her excitement on her face. She had to act weak and fragile, because she believed that was the way for a girl to gain more care and sympathy.
Sadly, she did not know that her tactic was useless to the Shen family. They did not sympathize with people they disliked.
Grandpa Shen liked Mu Qiqi better. She was a bit awkward when talking to people she did not know. She had her guts but she was loyal. That was the way a good person should be.
“Grandpa, have you met my sister? Is she willing to go back to the Shen family?”
“She is a stubborn one!” Grandpa said with a sigh. “You just look after yourself. You don’t have to worry about your sister.”
Judging from Grandpa Shen’s response, Mu Tangxue could almost be sure that he must have been rejected by Mu Qiqi. Mu Qiqi had become a wild girl after starting living outside. Perhaps she could not bear being bound by the Shen family. Otherwise, how could she stay with her lover?
Mu Tangxue sneered in her heart. Before she realized it, she was already at the gate of the mansion of the Shen family.
The mansion was a Chinese-style building with a courtyard. Everything in the mansion showed the status of the family. It was already late at night. Everyone had returned home. When they saw Grandpa Shen came home bringing along a young girl, they were shocked.
He did not introduce Mu Tangxue to his family. He told her to stay in her room and leave things to be discussed until tomorrow.
However, how could the Shens wait until tomorrow?
After Grandpa Shen helped Mu Tangxue settle in, they rushed to him and asked, “Father, what’s this? Why did you bring this young girl back?”
Grandpa Shen’s youngest daughter was the first one to speak up. She was already thirty-two years old but still single. She was Mu Qiqi’s youngest aunt.
“That girl is your eldest brother’s daughter. I will tell you in detail tomorrow morning during breakfast. Go to bed now, I am tired.” Grandpa Shen had no intention to explain to them at all.
“Father, what are you doing? That is the daughter of the Mu family. I have seen her in the papers,” said Shen Libing pointing at Mu Tangxue’s room. Then, she covered her mouth with her hands. “Are you saying that Eldest Brother and that woman… It’s impossible!”
“We will talk about it tomorrow.”
The appearance of Mu Tangxue was bound to set off a storm in the Shen family.
More importantly, what would Rong Junhan, Shen Jianchuan’s fiancée think? Grandpa Shen intentionally did not want to discuss the matter because he wanted to give time to Shen Bingli to inform Rong Junhan about the incident.
After that, Grandpa Shen called Sheng Xiao. He somehow timed the phone call right at the moment Sheng Xiao was embracing Mu Qiqi who was wet with sweat at the moment.
“Did I disturb you having fun?”
Sheng Xiao looked at Mu Qiqi beneath her and signaled her to keep quiet. Then, he sat up straight and said, “Go on.”
“It is nothing important actually. I just want to tell Qiqi that I have brought Mu Tangxue back just to make her into Qiqi’s s.h.i.+eld. I do not want her to misunderstand.”
“I will send you her number later. You can tell her yourself.”
“Okay. You go on.” How could Grandpa Shen at this age not know what Sheng Xiao was doing, although he had lowered the volume?
But he would never know who was with Sheng Xiao at that moment.
After putting away his mobile phone, Sheng Xiao hugged Mu Qiqi and kissed her on her head. “We have already become one but I still need to pretend not to know you.”
Mu Qiqi and chuckled and said, “Uncle, who are you?”
“Don’t go overboard, you naughty girl. Anyway, Grandpa Shen is really maximizing Mu Tangxue’s usage. He is letting her receive all the bombs so that you will suffer less in the future.”
“That is why we always say G.o.d is fair and just. It is her turn to suffer for me now. Serves her right.”
Then, Sheng Xiao brought Mu Qiqi to the bathroom. “So, you should continue attending university as you should be and show your att.i.tude to the Shen family. They are a family with dignity. The more you show them your weakness, the more they will hate you. Wait, if Mu Tangxue does what she is good at, she will get back ten times their disgust from the Shen family.”
“I will do as you’ve said!”
“Good girl!” Sheng Xiao kissed her again, and stopped when he was truly satisfied. After was.h.i.+ng up, they went to bed together.
As predicted by Sheng Xiao, her future was getting better and better…
She was going to enroll in Sheng Ting University tomorrow. As for Mu Tangxue, she would be “enjoying” the treatment from the Shens.
The next morning, Mu Qiqi was supposed to go to the university. However, the police informed her that Papa Mu was captured. He was found in an old factory on the outskirts of Jianchuan. It was the citizens there who had reported him to the police. He was being taken notice of when he robbed the people there. He was forced to do so because he was penniless.
After Su Zipei received the news, she told Mu Qiqi to go for registration. “You go to the university, I will go to the police station.
“Aunt, I want to go too.”
If Mu Qiqi did not see the man with her own eyes, she would feel uneasy. But it would only be embarra.s.sing to meet Grandpa Mu at the police station
“I heard that Mu Tangxue has gone to the Shen family. Qiqi, you better be more careful this time. Don’t let her take everything away.”
“Grandpa Mu, everything that is mine will stay with me. n.o.body can take it away from me!”
Grandpa Mu said this because he did not know that it was actually Sheng Xiao who was supporting her from the back, not the Shen family. Sheng Xiao was the source of her courage.
…
As for the Shen family, Rong Junhan went to the mansion early in the morning after she heard the news that Shen Jianchuan had a daughter. She was very emotional.
So, since morning, the Shen family was already in an uproar.
But Grandpa Shen still brought Mu Tangxue out to meet the whole family. Mu Tangxue was standing, with her head lowered. She did not dare to look at the elders of the Shen family.
“Father, Libing told me yesterday that you have brought back Eldest Brother’s daughter. But what is this? Isn’t she the daughter of the Mu family? Have you made a mistake?” The second son of the Shen family asked.
