Chapter 133: n.o.body Can Bully Her!
“Although she was raised by the Mu family for eighteen years, she really is Jianchuan’s daughter!” Grandpa said, sitting at the center. Mu Tangxue was standing just beside her.
Mu Tangxue felt very uncomfortable when being studied by all these people.
“Father, have you conducted a test?”
“You should not be worried about that.” Grandpa Shen snorted.
“Okay, I will take it as you have. But Eldest Brother… Have you ever thought of how Eldest Sister will feel? She has been taking care of Eldest Brother for over ten years. Aren’t you putting her in an awkward position when you do this?”
Sure enough, the Shen could not accept this girl as their niece, especially when she was once the daughter of the Mu family. This would mean that Shen Jianchuan and Su Ziqing had an affair. Would it mean that Shen Jianchuan had cheated on Rong Junhan?
The person they were discussing was sitting right with them. She was sobbing quietly, because she knew there would be people speaking up for her.
“But still, she is Jianchuan’s daughter, a member of the Shen family! How can I let a member of the Shen family out there, having n.o.body to care about her?”
“Father, we do not mean this way. I mean, won’t you hurt Eldest Sister too much when you just bring her back?”
“And you should know what kind of a person you are bringing back to the Shen family. It is all on the papers. If she has her dignity, she wouldn’t be in such a rush to join the Shen family, would she?”
“How rude!” yelled Grandpa Shen. “Are you the head of the Shen family?”
“Father…”
“Now that I have brought her back, let me tell you. I know it is hard to accept, but she is your brother’s daughter. He may just have these two daughters in his life,” said Granpa Shen. “I know you feel sorry for Junhan, I am too. This is not something we can talk about proudly, but what else can I do?”
“Then…”
“Junhan, what do you think?”
Rong Junhan could not accept it. She ran out of the house when Grandpa Shen asked for her opinion.
For twenty years, she had been taking care of this man for twenty years! In the end, he had children with another woman?
Who could even accept that?
“Eldest Sister!” shouted the brothers. But she had already left.
“Father, you can acknowledge her as your granddaughter. As for the few of us, we will not. You don’t care about what we think anyway.”
It was a very unhappy breakfast gathering. In a short time, only Grandpa Shen and Mu Tangxue were left sitting at the dining room.
Things turned out to be just as predicted. So, Grandpa Shen could still remain calm easily. He said, “Just eat, and don’t bother about them.”
Mu Tangxue was trembling with fear. She had never expected that the Shens would be so disgusted with her existence.
“Grandpa, I…”
“It’s alright. You still have me.”
What’s the use of having Grandpa Shen? Most of the people in the family did not acknowledge her. And seeing how aggressive their reactions were, it was impossible that they would accept her any sooner. The Shen family was too far off from what she had expected. She was supposed to come here to enjoy her life as a young lady, not to be bullied and be criticized.
Grandpa Shen took a glance at Mu Tangxue. He knew that she would be disappointed.
Did she think it was easy to join another’s family? This was just the beginning.
Later, Grandpa Shen received a call from the police station. Papa Mu had testified Mu Tangxue as the culprit of the fire. So the police needed to let Mu Tangxue confront Papa Mu at the police station.
“I have plenty of time. It is not a problem to go to the police station.”
But Mu Tangxue would never want to. “Grandpa, can I not go?”
“That b.a.s.t.a.r.d has been caught. You don’t have to be scared,” said Grandpa Shen. “It will be fine. Just listen to me.”
“Alright then,” replied Mu Tangxue. She looked very sick. “Grandpa, is Sister really not coming back?”
“Why do you ask?” Grandpa Shen intentionally asked, although he knew what she was thinking.
“Nothing.”
How would Grandpa Shen not know Mu Tangxue’s mind? She must have thought that she would become a lady in the Shen family and enjoy a more luxurious life than when she was in the Mu family once she came here. But the fact now was that she learnt that her existence was not being accepted by the Shen family.
At this time, of course she would want to make Mu Qiqi take all the blame. Without her sister, how could she not feel miserable? So, how would she not ask about her sister?
Grandpa Shen knew her intention very clearly. But sorry to say, that was what she was supposed to do now, to suffer for Qiqi’s sake!
Soon after, Grandpa Shen took Mu Tangxue to the police station. Mu Qiqi was still there. When she saw them, she said to Su Zipei, “Aunt, I need to go to the university now.”
“Alright, off you go. I will update you later.”
Mu Qiqi did not want to see Mu Tangxue at all. So she wanted to leave quickly. However, Mu Tangxue was longing to see Mu Qiqi.
When she saw Mu Qiqi was leaving, she quickly stopped her. But she was immediately blocked by Su Zipei. “What are you doing?”
“Aunt, why is Sister leaving when she saw me?”
“She started university today. Do you think she is just as free as you?” Su Zipei said and nodded to Grandpa Shen as a greeting.
“You must be Grandpa Shen.”
“Tangxue, you go, I will wait outside.” Grandpa Shen let the police lead Mu Tangxue into the room.
Although Mu Tangxue was very unwilling, she was forced to obey Grandpa Shen and go with the police. She knew that what Papa Mu said was not going to harm her because there was no evidence, but she still felt uneasy.
She did not want Grandpa Shen to be alone with Su Zipei. She could feel a sense of danger. She was scared that Su Zipei would badmouth her in front of Grandpa Shen.
In fact, Grandpa Shen knew it all along that Papa Mu was telling the truth. The fire was Mu Tangxue’s plan.
So, when Mu Tangxue entered the interrogation room, Grandpa Shen and Su Zipei got into his car. “So you must have seen how much Qiqi hated Mu Tangxue.”
“What is it to be afraid of? If I were Qiqi, I would have beaten Mu Tangxue into a pulp. But the thing now is that Qiqi is a girl,” said Grandpa Shen. “She is such a greedy person. Since she is now in the Shen family to take Qiqi’s sufferings, we should just let her be. She is the one who asks for it.”
“Then, when are you going to reveal the truth about the two of them?”
“I have told my family about their existence. So, I will make arrangements as soon as possible for Qiqi to return to the Shen family. My granddaughter shall return honorably. I will let her continue living in the villa. Then n.o.body will be able to bully her!”
