Chapter 702: You’re Still Thinking About That at a Time Like This
The two of them returned to their original home, but they could only stay for one night.
“The place you just moved to isn’t safe enough. We have to find somewhere else.” After Tang Yan returned home, he took out his card immediately. “This is all the money I’ve saved since I became a police officer, including all kinds of bonuses. I’ve sold the house next door as well. We have to move to a safer place.”
“What kind of place are you looking for?” Feng Shanshan took the card, still a little confused.
“The best place for public security in Jianchuan is the area where your best friend, Mu Qiqi, lives. Of course, we can’t compare to the Sheng family, but a small sized house inside is more than enough.”
All the residents in that area were either rich, n.o.ble, or people with power. In addition, the Sheng family was also nearby, so the security must be top-notch.
“Is our money… enough?”
“You’ll know when you check it out.” After Tang Yan said that, he set up a few traps in the house to prevent people from sneaking in in the middle of the night.
Then, he took Feng Shanshan to take a shower.
“You’re still thinking about that at a time like this.”
Feng Shanshan was a little embarra.s.sed and angry seeing the man take off his clothes. He completely ignored her objection.
“What are you thinking? You have to be within my sight at all times,” Tang Yan explained.
Feng Shanshan looked at the wound on his shoulder and could not help but sigh. “The left shoulder just had a bullet pa.s.s through, and now the right shoulder is cut. No matter how strong your body is, you shouldn’t treat it like this.”
“I’m used to it.” Tang Yan lay in the bathtub and pulled Feng Shanshan in. “Compared to this, when I didn’t see you last night after coming home, this is nothing.”
Feng Shanshan didn’t say anything. She quietly stayed in Tang Yan’s arms. A moment later, the two of them returned to the bedroom.
“Sleep,” Tang Yan said as he pulled Feng Shanshan into his arms.
“There won’t be any…”
“Don’t worry, sleep.”
Feng Shanshan nodded and lay on Tang Yan’s chest. Perhaps she smelled the good scent on his body, so she felt that her soul had returned to its original position.

Late that night, Old Master Sheng was picked up by Xu Che and brought to Banyan Courtyard. Although he was extremely unwilling when he left and kept scolding Sheng Xiao for torturing his old bones, he could not hide his excitement after he got into the car.
After all, no matter how many conflicts he had with Eighth Brother in the past, he was still his most beloved grandson.
Because they were going to be discussing Sheng Bowen’s matter, Third Brother was not informed that Old Master Sheng had left the house.
When they arrived at Banyan Courtyard, Old Man Sheng walked into the house of those unfilial descendants with his walking stick although he never thought that he would have such a day.
After the old man entered the house, although Mama Sheng still hated him, she didn’t give him any strange looks. She just didn’t talk to the old man.
The one who had changed the most was Papa Sheng. Now that he was the chief engineer of Zhongteng, his entire person had become extraordinary. It was as if he had become a completely different person.
“I didn’t see you caring about Third Brother in the past, but now you’re willing to drag your old bones around for his matters.” Sheng Xiao was wearing a black turtleneck sweater. He walked down from the second floor and took a seat opposite the old man.
“Where’s the girl?” Old Man Sheng did not care and instead asked him in a relaxed manner.
“She’s here.” Mu Qiqi followed Sheng Xiao down the stairs and sat down beside him.
Mama Sheng occasionally poured tea and water. She did not partic.i.p.ate in the group. She still remembered her husband’s grudge against his father.
“How much do you know about Third Brother? I want to know if there’s any chance between him and Secretary Ren.”
“About that.” Mu Qiqi glared at him. “Didn’t you pursue a well-matched family in the past? You’ve made things difficult for me a lot because of this. I don’t think my background is bad. I’ve even been despised by you.”
“Little girl, are you going to settle old scores with me now?”Old Master Sheng glared at Mu Qiqi.
“What she means is that I’m afraid that you still haven’t figured it out. After all, Secretary Ren is just an ordinary girl.” Sheng Xiao hurriedly stopped the two from continuing.
“I just want Third Brother to be a little more relaxed now. He has someone who loves him and can take care of him. I was wrong about Miss Hu. I just want to make it up to him now.” Old Master Sheng admitted.
“If you really want to accept Secretary Ren, then it will be easy. The reason why Secretary Ren has been rejecting Third Brother is probably because she doesn’t want to join a rich family. She thinks that rich families are terrifying. If you like her Grandpa, then treat her well. Treat her like a granddaughter-in-law. Buy whatever you need. Ask about her well-being and make it clear that you won’t interfere with their development.”
“Are you sure this will work?” The old man couldn’t believe it.
“She likes Third Brother very much, but she’s afraid of the Sheng family. As the head of the family, if you come out and tell her personally that you don’t dislike her, then she’ll naturally have fewer worries.”
After hearing Mu Qiqi’s words, the old man nodded.
“Since you say so, then I’ll give it a try.”
“Also, that young lady from the Hu family doesn’t seem to have given up on Third Brother.” Mu Qiqi reminded the old man. “You better not be planning something stupid just because you received some benefits.”
“I’ve already died once. What’s there to be angry about?”
The old man scoffed at Mu Qiqi’s words.
“Trust me. As long as you keep a clear att.i.tude, Secretary Ren will definitely not reject Third Brother again.”
The old man patted his thigh. “I’ll trust you just this once.”
Mama Sheng saw this scene and it was all very strange to her.
In the past, the old man had wanted to skin Mu Qiqi to pieces, but now, on paper, he was here to look for Eighth Brother when in fact, he spent more time talking to his partner. One was old and the other was young. Although he was being sarcastic, Mama Sheng could tell that this old man had some sort of dependence on the girl.
Even his favorite Eighth Brother stood aside for them to converse.
“Since it’s settled, I’ll go back first and ask your a.s.sistant to send me off. He’s a good driver.” Old Master Sheng pointed out and asked Xu Che to send him off.
“You’re going back already? It hasn’t even been ten minutes.” Papa Sheng had finally finished his work and had time to talk to the old man. How could father and son have any overnight feud?
“I still have to go to the Shen family. I know that you’ve made a name for yourself and have just won a few big awards. You’re more accomplished than me. I’ve let you down…”
The old man said this from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, Papa Sheng was very happy when he heard this and revealed a child-like smile.
When Mu Qiqi heard that the old man was going to the Shen family, she knew that he was definitely going to apologize. After all, he was the one who insisted on canceling the marriage between the Shen family and the Sheng family back then. He had ruined the many years of friends.h.i.+p between Old Man Shen and himself.
“If Old Man Sheng is able to show some kindness to Secretary Ren, Third Brother won’t have a hard time finding a wife. Let’s see how he behaves.” Mu Qiqi leaned into Sheng Xiao’s arms and smiled. “By the way, looking at recent events, I feel that Hu Ran… seems to have changed into a different person.”
