Chapter 483: I Think We’re Done Here
To ensure Sheng Xiao had really taken a rest, Mu Qiqi went to his office in Zhongteng right after cla.s.s.
It did not matter for the employees in Zhongteng to recognize no one, even if he was Sheng Xiao, but they must recognize the wife of the CEO.
Mu Qiqi could always come and go to Zhongteng as she wished.
When she reached the office, Sheng Xiao was taking a nap in his lounge.
The secretary did not dare to stop her and let her enter.
Mu Qiqi saw her man lying on the bed so she knelt beside him and started counting his eyelashes. How could a man have such beautiful eyelashes? It was unbelievable.
Sheng Xiao sensed his little one squatting beside him. So he picked her up from the ground into his arms. “Are you ambus.h.i.+ng me?”
“I’ve come to fetch you home,” said Mu Qiqi helplessly, “Are you done?”
Sheng Xiao got up and tucked his s.h.i.+rt in. Then, he said, “You should rest here for a while. I have to meet someone first.”
Mu Qiqi frowned but she did not ask, only to see Sheng Xiao walk into the reception room. Then, the secretary closed the door.
Old Lin, who was sitting in the room, glared at Sheng Xiao. “Chief Sheng is so busy. You even make me wait for you.”
“I’ve just started my own business so there are still many things to be taken care of. Please be considerate, Old Lin.” Sheng Xiao sat down in front of Old Lin. “Now, you can tell me why you came to see me.”
“Chief Sheng is such a clever man. You should know the reason why I came. I heard that you are sponsoring that lousy grandson of mine. Is it true?”
“Forgive me, Old Lin. I don’t pay much attention to such trivial things. You can go and ask the public relations department of my company to check if there is any special charity project.” Sheng Xiao answered directly. “By the way, the grandson of the Lin family does not seem to need my support at all.”
“I never know that Chief Sheng is a person who likes to say things implicitly. Then I shall be frank to you. I don’t hope you interfere with the matters of the Lin family,” said Old Lin coldly, “After all, you will not wish to see me interfering with your family matter together with the Shengs, won’t you?”
“Are you threatening me?” Sheng Xiao’s tone changed. “Am I being too gentle lately? Is that why you think that I am easy to negotiate and deal with?”
“It’s you who interfered with the family matters of others first!”
“I never liked anyone threatening me, Old Lin. Are you sure that your decision to come here today is right?” Sheng Xiao asked in return. “If you have the ability, you can s.n.a.t.c.h Lin Mu’an back to you. Or, you can work with the Shengs. You will see how many people I can kill. With all due respect, I never comply with anyone who tries to force me into something. Don’t try to show your power with your age. I am a person who can turn a niece into my wife. Do you think I will give my respect to elders like you? I think we’re done here. I will not see you off.”
“How will you stop providing sanctuary to Lin Mu’an? Give me your condition.”
“I like him. He is brave enough to go against the Lin family, against you. I support him unconditionally. What can you do with me?”
Sheng Xiao stood up and ordered his secretary. “Send Old Mr. Lin off. Be careful. If anything happens to him, you will take responsibility.”
“Yes, Chief.”
There was a saying in Jianchuan that Sheng Xiao was the most difficult person to talk with. But Old Lin had not believed it.
Now, he did.
This young man was unfathomable. He was never someone you could control. He always followed his guts when he handled things. And he seemed to show no mercy to anyone.
Hence, he was the best haven for Lin Mu’an.
Old Lin was very angry, but he felt cold chills throughout his body. Sheng Xiao had a powerful aura that made people suffocate. Before you could even get angry, you would already feel scared.
After some time, Mu Qiqi saw Sheng Xiao coming back for her. She showed doubts on her face. “You’re so fast.”
“It’s nothing big. Let’s go home.”
Mu Qiqi nodded. When they were about to leave, she saw Old Lin. She was alarmed.
“Was he coming for you for Lin Mu’an’s matter? I really don’t know what’s in the mind of these people. They can only feel satisfied when they make their grandsons be submissive to them.”
Sheng Xiao did not say anything.
“When he can’t do anything to his grandson anymore, he must do something to feel satisfied.”
“But Lin Mu’an is preparing to propose to Qianqian already.”
If Old Lin knew about this, his blood pressure might rise.
“It’s none of your business.”
Mu Qiqi leaned on Sheng Xiao’s chest while looking out of the car window. She suddenly felt that she was a very lucky person. At least, her aunt and grandfather were not stopping her from being together with Sheng Xiao.
“Let’s hope for the best for Lin Mu’an. By the way, Qianqian will hold a press conference for her swearing in, in two days.”
“Miss Hu has probably opened up to Third Brother.” Sheng Xiao interrupted Mu Qiqi’s thoughts suddenly.
“Huh? You got the news already?”
“I heard that he is returning to Huang Yao as the deputy CEO. Besides, he is given a portion of the shares of the company,” replied Sheng Xiao.
“Then Second Brother must be aggrieved.”
It’s the matter of the Sheng family. n.o.body would care about it anymore.
Sheng Kai was more resourceful than Third Brother since Third Brother had never liked to fight with anyone. However, now with Hu Ran by his side, things would not be the same anymore.
After the two incidents, Grandpa Sheng started to dislike Gu Ziling. With the situation of the Gu family not being very stable lately, Grandpa Sheng’s att.i.tude toward Gu Ziling was getting much worse than before.
But the Gu family did not tell Gu Ziling anything. So, even Gu Ziling herself did not realize the subtle changes of Grandpa Sheng until now.
She only knew that he did not like her like he used to.
However, the incident of Gu Ziling failing in her attempt to teach Hu Ran a lesson and suffered great loss had triggered the suspicion of another person.
Hu Ran’s stepmother.
Previously, she had messed up a lot of things in the Hu family because of Hu Ran’s presence. Now that Hu Ran was in the Sheng family, she still had the ability to cause trouble. It was really suspicious…
Moreover, Gu Ziling seemed to have been looking for trouble with Hu Ran since she joined the Sheng family. Perhaps, she could form an alliance with this lady.
…
Hu Ran’s hip was injured. So, she had to lie on her stomach when she slept. It was uncomfortable.
So, Third Brother lay on his stomach as well. “Do you feel better when I sleep like this?”
“You still need to go to work tomorrow. Don’t imitate me. Sleep in a comfortable posture,” said Hu Ran.
“Although Grandpa appointed me as the deputy CEO, there are still many things Second Brother hides from me and will not let me be a part of.”
