Chapter 183: The Shen Family Is Bullying Me
Mu Qiqi nearly applauded her own man after listening to what Sheng Xiao had said.
It was because what he said was rather powerful and influential. He was indicating to Shen Lin that Rong Junhan did indeed have an illegitimate daughter and she was Yu Jing. He even told Shen Lin that it was a well-known fact now. What he did was trying to make what Qiqi did seem reasonable and logical.
Mu Qiqi’s man was indeed wise.
Surely, Shen Lin turned to look at his own wife after listening to Sheng Xiao. “Xiao Jing, I’ll believe that you’re innocent no matter what happens. Why don’t you tell the others that you’re innocent?”
“I believe in Xiao Jing,” Huang Yu voiced out her opinion at that moment.
“Xiao Jing, you better voice out now.” Shen Jinyun appeared like he did not trust her. It was because Yu Jing would surely get suspicious if both he and his wife were on her side.
Yu Jing appeared like she was wrongly accused. She pursed her lips and held back her tears.
However, she still stood up after being forced by everybody. She then said to everyone present, “I really didn’t know that my mother is still alive…
“I know nothing about it. I don’t have any scheme or plot. I am with Shen Lin because I love him.”
“Fine. Will you agree to sign an agreement since you said that you love him and your family is no need of money?” Mu Qiqi suggested. “You claimed that you married him not because of his money. I believe you too. Since you have voiced out, let’s sign an agreement. It’s not a big deal, isn’t it?”
“Mu Qiqi, don’t be over the line. It’s my business if I want to give money to Xiao Jing.”
“Is it your business only? The companies under your name are all funded by Second Uncle and Second Aunt. What capabilities do you have if you want to give her money? What right do you have to claim that it’s your own business? Now, Rong Junhan’s crimes are exposed. Who can guarantee that Yu Jing is innocent?”
Yu Jing felt so sad that at last she burst out crying. “The Shen family is bullying me.”
“It’s your mom and you who are wrong here. You lied to us.”
“I told you that I’m not close to Rong Junhan.” Yu Jing shouted firmly. “Why don’t you believe me no matter what I’ve told you?”
“Xiao Jing, calm down.” Shen Lin consoled his wife immediately. “We’ll leave now since the Shen family does not welcome us!”
“I’ll leave too!” Huang Yu slammed down the chopsticks and left with her son and daughter-in-law.
Mu Qiqi sat down after they left. Then, she looked at Second Elder. “We still cannot confirm whether Yu Jing is involved in the plotting against the Shen family. However, we’ve made a scene today. At least, she won’t be so daring from now on. Second Uncle, pretend to argue with Second Aunt when you go home later on. Then, Bro Shen will trust Second Aunt more and he will tell her any decision directly.”
“Qiqi, thank you.” Shen Jinyun said sincerely. “You’re willing to do all these kinds of things for me given that I’ve wronged you before.”
“This does not only concern you. It’s related to my father too. I learned from someone else.” Then, Mu Qiqi glanced at Sheng Xiao again but Sheng Xiao did not look at her. He might be afraid that Grandpa Shen would see through them if they looked at each other. Grandpa Shen might be able to see his love for her.
“Moreover, I believe that Shen Lin would realize what you’re doing for him at last.”
Sheng Jinyun held up his wine glass and finished it in a gulp. He still seemed worried. “I hope so too.”
Grandpa Shen looked at Mu Qiqi before turning to look at Sheng Xiao again. “Sheng Xiao, be frank with me. Did you teach her what to do?”
Sheng Xiao looked at Mu Qiqi and smiled playfully. “She’s a talented kid. We should train her well.”
“It seems like you and Qiqi do indeed have quite a deep relationship. So, you better act like a good uncle for her. Then, I won’t be worried about her so much.”
‘Good uncle?’
Sheng Xiao scoffed softly but he did not refute Grandpa Shen.
He even taught her things in bed. Why so serious?
“But, Xiao Qi, you might have to endure much more from now on since you’re in the middle of the mess now.”
“What do I have to suffer?” Mu Qiqi bit her lips. “Grandpa, Bro Shen could not beat me in an argument. Moreover, Yu Jing is so much weaker than Mu Tangxue when it comes to acting and pretending to be the weaker one. Everyone could see through her pretense. Bro Shen likes her and that’s why he trusts her.
“But, if you’re afraid that I might be beaten up, you could ask somebody to come and protect me.”
“This little girl.” Grandpa Shen pointed at Mu Qiqi and smiled. “Since the drama has started, then we should really work together to get rid of Rong Junhan.”
They nodded their heads. Then, they started having their meals just like nothing had happened.
But, Grandpa Shen turned to look at Sheng Xiao after they had finished discussing the Shen family’s affairs. He asked Sheng Xiao, “Are you twenty-seven years old now?”
“Uncle Shen, when did you start caring about my age?”
“I think that you should really get married now.” Grandpa Shen sighed softly. “Why haven’t I heard any news from you yet? Why don’t you get a woman to take care of you by your side? Look at you. You can have any woman you want if you have the intention.”
“I have a girlfriend.” Sheng Xiao replied calmly.
“Why don’t you bring her to meet us?”
“It’s not the time yet.” Sheng Xiao smiled and said.
“This woman will surely be one of a kind since she could be with the Crown Prince.”
Sheng Xiao shrugged. He felt that his woman was surely one of a kind.
There were all kinds of women in this world. Yet, why did he fall into this little one’s trap? He had pulled all sorts of strings and planned everything nicely for her future. Hence, she could stay by his side in a better way.
He had also helped her to be accepted by the Shen family.
Mu Qiqi could not hold herself back. She put her hand under the table and stroked Sheng Xiao’s knees softly.
Sheng Xiao noticed it and raised his eyebrow. He gave her a look. ‘Are you playing with fire?’

The three people who had left the private room went straight to Yu Jing’s father’s house. It was because they were unwilling to return to the Shen family.
Shen Lin was outraged. “I wanted so badly to strangle that bitch to death.”
“Shen Lin, why did we have to leave? It’s not good. Mu Qiqi would surely be more reckless than ever the minute we left. What’s more frustrating is your dad. How could he not believe in his son and daughter-in-law? He went and trusted what that outsider said.” Huang Yu appeared sad when she thought of that. Her eyes were swollen.
“Mom, you’re right. We cannot leave the Shen family like that. Xiao Jing, you’re the Shen family’s daughter-in-law. You shouldn’t have to suffer being accused wrongly. Let’s head back now.”
“But, I don’t want the others to misunderstand me.” Yu Jing burst into tears. “There’s really nothing between Rong Junhan and I…”
“Don’t worry. Didn’t that girl ask you to sign an agreement? I’ll do what is against their will. I’ll put the companies under your name. I want to prove to them that you have nothing to do with Rong Junhan. You married me because you love me.”
Huang Yu was nervous when she heard that. Yet, it was just like what the others had guessed. At least, they would know about Shen Lin’s plan. She could also ask them to be prepared beforehand.
