Chapter 179: Do You Really Want to Be My Uncle?
It was the worst punishment for Mu Tangxue given that she was an arrogant girl. In her future, she needed to wash her own clothes, cook her own dinner, clean up the house and live by herself. She would face the dirtiest and messiest place. She would also face all kinds of villains. Moreover, she needed to learn to take care of her own life. Therefore, she would never be able to create any more mess.
“Miss Qiqi, let’s go.” Jing Yun reminded Mu Qiqi. “It won’t be long. After three months, nobody would be able to recognize her anymore. There’ll be somebody who would tackle her. Don’t worry.”
It was because the difficulties in life would change a person drastically. Mu Tangxue bullied Mu Qiqi terribly before. How would Sheng Xiao allow her to lead a peaceful life? It was impossible.
Mu Tangxue lived like a princess before. Now, it seemed like she had fallen from heaven to hell. What could be worse than that?
Mu Qiqi nodded her head and turned around to return to the car. From now on, they would lead completely different lives.
When Mu Qiqi returned to the small mansion, she described the whole incident to Su Zipei. She told her what happened in the ward that afternoon. Su Zipei could not help but feel afraid after she had listened to that incident. “I never know that such dirty things could happen to the Shen family.”
“But, luckily Rong Junhan didn’t get to marry my dad and become a part of the Shen family. It’s a blessing in our misfortune.
“But, Rong Junhan would not be satisfied with how things are now. She’s threatening Second Uncle and his family.” Mu Qiqi sat down before Su Zipei. She took up the teacup and took a sip. “Let’s not talk about them. Aunt, when are you going to register your marriage with Uncle Lu? Moreover, I feel that the two of you should really hold a small wedding ceremony.”
“Don’t worry about us. What about you? Now, the Shen family doesn’t hate you anymore, do they?”
Mu Qiqi sighed and smiled. “They hate me still but they won’t dislike me as much if compared to the past.”
“This is a good sign. Moreover, what are you afraid of since Young Master Sheng is by your side?
“But, there’ll be a distance between you and Young Master Sheng since you’ve become a part of the Shen family. By the way, he’s your uncle. Will the Shen family support you if they find that you’re with him?” That was what worried Su Zipei the most at that moment. “Yes, you’re a young lady of the Shen family now and your status is different. But, will Grandpa Shen do the same thing to the two of you just like what he did to your dad and your mom in the past? Will he try to separate you?”
Mu Qiqi was not so sure about this. But, she knew that it would not be easy to try to tear them apart.
“I believe in Sheng Xiao. For sure he knows what he’s doing since he made such preparations and arrangements.”
“Why don’t you ask him when you go back home later?”
Mu Qiqi believed in Sheng Xiao. So, she would not ask him.
On the other hand, Mama Sheng was still living at the villa which she prepared for Sheng Xiao. In fact, she wanted to get near her son in order to try to investigate his personal affairs. She was curious as to who her son was dating at the moment. However, neither Sheng Xiao nor Jing Yun was at home. They were always absent. Moreover, she had heard something regarding Mu Qiqi.
So, she had been staying at the villa for two days now. It was not easy when she finally saw Jing Yun returned home to rest. She went to him and asked him, “Jing Yun, I heard something. I need you to tell me the truth.”
Jing Yun knew what she was trying to say but he was still worried.
He was afraid of being interrogated by Mama Sheng and he had no choice but to help Sheng Xiao to tackle his mother.
“Please, Madam.”
Mama Sheng held a teacup in her hand. She was holding her elbow with another hand. She seemed puzzled. “I heard that Sheng Xiao asked you to save a girl. She’s from the Mu family. Is that true?”
“Madam, that kid is from the Shen family. She’s living outside all these past years.”
“How old is she? Does Sheng Xiao go and visit her often?”
“She’s eighteen years old and she’s studying at the university. How would the young master be so free to go and visit a little girl? However, that kid saved the young master once during a car accident before. Hence, the young master asked me to help that kid just to repay her kindness.” Jing Yun remained calm and said.
After that, Mama Sheng nodded her head. “Jing Yun, you need to take all kinds of precautions. You must know that there are a lot of women out there who wait for a chance to crawl onto your young master’s bed. Don’t act rashly and ruin everything.”
“I know.”
“Since she belongs to the Shen family, bring her along to come and visit us. Let the others know about her. It’s not a big deal.”
“The Shen family is in great crisis now. I’ll help you to arrange for it after a while.” Jing Yun was beating around the bush.
“Fine. I should go back to the Sheng family by now. I just have no way when it comes to Sheng Xiao.” Mama Sheng was quite satisfied. Then, she put down the teacup in her hand.
“Let me give you a ride, Madam.”
Then, Jing Yun informed Sheng Xiao about everything on how Mama Sheng inquired about Mu Qiqi.
At that moment, Sheng Xiao had just reached the small villa. He found Mu Qiqi sitting in the living room reading her notes. However, he still replied to Jing Yun, “You did well.”
“Young Master… Let’s forget about it. Please take a rest.”
Jing Yun was worried about Sheng Xiao. Sheng Xiao had promised to bring along Mama Sheng’s future daughter-in-law home after three months. Did he really plan to do so? Would he appear in the Sheng family with Mu Qiqi by his side?
He wanted to inquire about it. But, he knew very well that Sheng Xiao would not give reply him.
Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrow and hung up the phone. He did not have to tell Jing Yun about his personal affairs.
He entered the living room and hugged Mu Qiqi from the back. Then, he brought her to the dining table beside them.
Then, Mu Qiqi turned around and saw Sheng Xiao’s handsome face.
“I know about everything which happened in the ward this afternoon. Are you happy about it?”
“I didn’t get to capture Rong Junhan today. Am I happy about it?” Mu Qiqi sneered softly. “Of course, I’m quite aware of it. This woman has been living with the Shen family for so many years now. She has plotted many schemes. Surely, it’ll not be easy if I want to take her down. There would surely be more to come. I believe that she must have prepared for herself ten different roads if she wants to retreat. After all, she’s been with the Shen family for so many years now.
“I’ve just never met such a wicked woman. She would marry her illegitimate daughter into the Shen family just to stand against them.”
“Your Second Uncle and Second Aunt deserve that!” Sheng Xiao loosened his tie. His sexy collarbone was exposed. “Now, it’s clear that Rong Junhan has her eyes and claws on your Second Uncle and his family.”
“It’s just like what you said. They deserve it. I won’t bother about them.” Mu Qiqi hugged Sheng Xiao’s neck and said, “Moreover, my grandpa and dad are quite smart. Surely, they’ll be able to tackle Rong Junhan.”
“What is so difficult in tackling a woman?” Sheng Xiao put her down from the dining table. Then, he led her to the bedroom. “But, there are some occasions unsuitable for your grandpa and second uncle. Moreover, you are not an outsider. But, you do not belong to them completely. What’s more important is you’re not afraid of anything. You’re so brave and you dare to go anywhere you like. What do you think? Will Grandpa Shen let you go freely?”
“Xiaoxiao… My aunt asked me today. If I’m recognized in the Shen family, what about our relationship?” Suddenly, Mu Qiqi remembered about that. She remembered what Su Zipei asked her that afternoon. “Do you really want to be my uncle?”
Then, Sheng Xiao turned around and raised her chin. “I’m your uncle as well as your… man.”
“You really…”
“Come, I’ll let you try now. See whether your uncle is old or not!”
Mu Qiqi blushed deeply all of a sudden. “How could you make such a joke! You’ve become more reckless than ever!”
