Chapter 660: Still as Wicked as You Were Before
“There’s nothing to misunderstand about. He’s divorced.”
Mu Qiqi gave her the truth right before they were getting ready to go home. She purposely chose the time when Sheng Bowen was completely drunk.
If he was sober, it would be very embarra.s.sing for him.
Ren Yufei was taken aback. She couldn’t believe it and there were obviously many questions in her mind.
However, she understood why Mu Qiqi did this. She was trying to give her a chance. She had most probably guessed her feelings toward him. But she didn’t want to take advantage of such a time, despite the fact that she was once appointed to seduce Sheng Bowen…
“You take care of him. We’ll leave now.”
Ren Yufei didn’t refuse Mu Qiqi’s kind offer, but she didn’t want Sheng Bowen to think that she was a calculative girl, so she paid a staff member and gave him the address to send Sheng Bowen safely back to Sheng Mansion.
…
Once Mu Qiqi got home, she laid down in the warm bathtub, thinking of how mysterious the human’s heart was.
Soon after, Sheng Xiao joined her in the bathtub after taking off his black robe. Then, he wrapped his arms around her.
“What are you thinking about?”
“I’m thinking about the secretary. I wonder if she sent Third Brother home or not. If I were her, I would have selfish thoughts. Thinking back to the time when I had a crush on you, if I had such a chance, I would definitely bring you back to my house and stare at you.”
With his eyes closed, Sheng Xiao said nonchalantly, “She got a waiter to send Third Brother home.”
Mu Qiqi was speechless.
It was such a good chance and she ruined it. However, Mu Qiqi felt relieved that Sheng Kai had actually chosen a righteous person to be his spy.
“Don’t do this again. I don’t like it.”
Mu Qiqi was in a daze. When she heard Sheng Xiao, she turned her head and looked at him. “Okay, no more next time. I’ll put my attention on you alone and I won’t look at anything else, okay?”
Sheng Xiao didn’t say anything and gently stroked Mu Qiqi’s head with his right hand, making her feel sleepy.
Mu Qiqi yawned. Then, she leaned against the man’s chest and fell asleep. It didn’t matter where she fell asleep as she would always wake up in the bed the next day.
While everyone was having a good night’s sleep, the sales manager of Huang Yao was arrested by the police and brought to the police station in Jianchuan. On that very night, she was interrogated.
She was a girl with a decent job. Why did she take the risk and break the law?
The girl didn’t panic. After she was arrested, she kept mum. She simply requested that she wanted to see her family.
As long as her brother was safe, it would mean that that person kept his promise and she would not expose him.
However, did Sheng Bowen think that it was over already? It was actually just the beginning of Sheng Kai’s revenge…
Grandpa Sheng’s birthday was in March. He should be a good grandson like Eighth Brother and send him a birthday present
…
The next day, Sheng Bowen woke up in his bed. Thinking back about how Xiao Qi got him drunk in front of Secretary Ren, his ears burned and his face flushed.
He didn’t know who sent him back since he fell asleep after he got drunk.
During breakfast, Grandpa Sheng looked at Sheng Bowen suspiciously. “I heard from Eighth Brother that you brought your secretary out for dinner?”
“It was Qiqi who asked me to bring her along,” Sheng Bowen explained.
But to Grandpa Sheng, that girl must have sensed something to ask the secretary to join the private dinner. Wasn’t it obvious enough?
“If the secretary has a clean background, you can bring her home. If she can help you in both your career and your life, I’ll be relieved.”
Sheng Bowen had finally smelled it and understood why Mu Qiqi insisted on inviting Secretary Ren to the dinner. So that was her plan all along.
“Grandpa, she is just my secretary. Don’t think too much…”
“Alright, I’m just saying it. You should go to work now.”
Grandpa Sheng had finally figured out how dumb Sheng Bowen was in this aspect. No wonder nothing happened between him and Hu Ran when they were together. Perhaps he might never imagine the taste of being intimate with a woman.
Sheng Bowen felt helpless, especially when the other Shengs looked at him with an expression that implied he had an affair with his secretary.
Eighth Brother was such a blabbermouth. Did he have to tell this in detail to the old man?
So, on the way to work, Sheng Bowen called Sheng Xiao. “Eighth Brother, since when were you close enough with Grandpa that you can even gossip with him about my stuff?”
“My woman is concerned. Why do you think I’m doing this?”
In other words, Sheng Xiao felt that he was troublesome.
“You… are so… You are still as wicked as you were before.”
Sheng Bowen ended the call and went to Huang Yao. When he saw Ren Yufei, he felt awkward. However, Ren Yufei acted as if nothing happened and pointed at the meeting room. “The police are here.”
Hearing that, the culprit must have been found, he thought.
Great. He wanted to know so badly why there were people who wanted to bring harm to the company when Huang Yao had always treated its employees well, especially after he took office.
…
In the morning, it was drizzling.
Many people came to Ye Mansion for the sole purpose of making Mu Tangxue look dazzling during the engagement ceremony.
What happened to Huang Yao this time had let Mu Qiqi s.h.i.+ne again. So, Ye Jingcheng was forced to spend more money and effort on Mu Tangxue. He wanted the whole world to know that Mu Tangxue was the only n.o.ble G.o.ddess, and that Mu Qiqi was but a shadow who could never stand on the stage.
Mama Ye sat in the living room with a gloomy face. After she was slapped by Ye Jingcheng, she knew how scheming Mu Tangxue was. Mu Tangxue was definitely not as innocent as she had imagined, so she mustn’t act hastily.
Mu Tangxue knew that she was holding back, so she kept on stepping on Mama Ye’s toes.
And she did it especially when there was no one in the living room. She deliberately wore the huge diamond ring Ye Jingcheng had bought for her and showed off in front of Mama Ye.
“Jingcheng loves me so much. When I said I wanted this diamond, he did everything possible to get it for me. Aunt Ye, I really want to thank you for getting me out of the slums.”
“Don’t be so smug.” Mama Ye snorted. “You should know. When people get too smug, they will fall from their positions.”
“I think this applies to your family more than me.” Mu Tangxue laughed. “I plan to ask for some shares of the company from Jingcheng tonight. Aren’t you going to stop me?”
Mama Ye flushed with anger, but she could only point at Mu Tangxue and warn her. “If you dare to touch anything belonging to the Ye family, I will never let you go, you s.l.u.t!”
