Chapter 182: I’m Not Being Disobedient

“What did you say?” Shen Lin stared at Mu Qiqi angrily. “Don’t think that I’m afraid to beat you up just because Grandpa is on your side.”

“I just came here but you’re so angry all of a sudden. Did you want to show me who is more superior?” Mu Qiqi leaned back directly and examined Shen Lin. “However, I don’t want to be angry at you because I sympathize with you.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? When do I need your sympathy?”

“Why don’t you need my sympathy? Do you know who your wife really is?” Mu Qiqi turned to throw a sly look at Yu Jing.

“What does it have to do with Xiao Jing? Don’t make up stories here. If not, don’t blame me if I’m rude to you!” Shen Lin stood up and slammed the table. He was furious.

“Miss Yu, are you brave enough to tell your husband who your mother is?”

“I…” Yu Jing appeared to be put in a difficult position. “I don’t…”

“I know. You want to tell everybody that your mother passed away when she gave birth to you, isn’t it? Then, I want to congratulate you. Your mother is still alive.” Mu Qiqi clapped her hands in front of everybody. “It’s because she admitted that you’re her daughter in front of the entire family. You couldn’t deny that, could you?”

“What are you talking about?” Shen Lin was still puzzled.

“I want to tell you that your newlywed wife, Yu Jing is Rong Junhan’s daughter. She’s her illegitimate daughter with a painter. Do you understand now?”

Shen Lin was stunned after listening to Mu Qiqi. He stared at his own wife in disbelief. Then, he turned to look at his own parents. He got the answer when he saw his parents giving their silent approval. “Is it true?”

Shen Jinyu and his wife remained quiet.

“If that’s the case, won’t it be better since we’ll become closer in this way?”

“Closer?” Mu Qiqi sneered. She stood up too. “Do you know why your uncle, who is my dad, has been lying in bed for so many years? It’s because of Miss Yu’s mother, Madam Rong Junhan who drove her car and hit him.”

“Don’t make false accusations here. My uncle became a vegetable because he got into a fight. Who do you want to lie to now?” Shen Lin held his wife’s shoulder for fear that she would be sad by overthinking.

“You’ll know soon after taking a look at the evidence to see whether I’m lying. I just want to know one thing now. Miss Yu, are you the same as your mother? Plotting and scheming?” Mu Qiqi pointed at Yu Jing and asked imploringly.

“Shut up!” Shen Lin shouted angrily. “This is the Shen family. You’re just an outsider. Stop messing around here!”

“Mu Qiqi, behave yourself.” Huang Yu joined her in the scene now. She was acting as the nice one. “My son and daughter-in-law hold no grudges toward you.”

“How so? This woman’s mother is the reason why my dad has been lying on the sick bed for more than ten years. She’s the reason why I was bullied and hurt in the Mu family for all these past years. Why can’t I know the truth now? Second Aunt, aren’t you afraid that this woman comes just to cheat your son’s love?”

Surely, Yu Jing would act like the one who was wronged. She acted pitifully and looked at her husband. “I know nothing. I also don’t know why my aunt is my mother.”

“Xiao Jing, this is not your fault. It’s somebody else’s fault as she’s clearly creating conflict here. She’s doing it intentionally.”

“Intentionally? Are you the president or the most privileged person in the world? You claimed that I did it intentionally. Shen Lin, don’t forget yourself when you’re lied to and you could even be nice to the liars.”

Shen Lin could not hold himself back anymore after listening to her. He stood up directly and walked toward Mu Qiqi. Then, he grabbed her by the collar. “I ask you to shut up! You bitch!”

“Shut up!” Grandpa Shen could not endure anymore when he heard how Shen Lin had addressed Mu Qiqi. He looked at Shen Lin sternly. “Qiqi is just doubtful regarding what happened a few days ago. That’s why she wants to ask my granddaughter-in-law. Why do you have to bully her? Where are your manners?”

“Grandpa, I know you adore this granddaughter. But, she’s a wicked girl. I don’t know what more she’s gonna do to our family.”

“I feel that you’re indeed blind, Shen Lin. The fact is right there in front of you. Rong Junhan admitted to her crimes in front of everybody. Moreover, Yu Jing is her daughter. I don’t think that she’s nice and kind.”

“It’s ridiculous! My aunt and Xiao Jing are two completely different people. You cannot link them together. If Xiao Jing said that she’s unaware of it, surely she knows nothing about it. Don’t create any more conflict here.”

“I also believe in Xiao Jing.” Huang Yu sided with her son.

Shen Lin felt that he was the right one here when he gained his mother’s support. “Moreover, it’s our family business. It has nothing to do with you. You’re just an outsider. You better behave yourself and keep quiet. Get out of here now!”

Meanwhile, Third Elder had left the private room and went to the bathroom. However, he bumped into Sheng Xiao on his way back.

So, the atmosphere was rather tense when they entered the private room.

“Oh! It’s Sheng Xiao.”

“Uncle Shen, what a coincidence! I’m meeting a business partner here and I bumped into you.”

The others saw Sheng Xiao and they soon knew about Mu Qiqi’s relation with Sheng Xiao. But, Huang Yu had never mentioned it to her son. So, Shen Lin said to Sheng Xiao, “Crown Prince, I’m sure you don’t know how terrible my younger sister is. She created quite a mess as soon as she stepped into our family.”

Sheng Xiao was still in the same attire as he was just now when he sent Mu Qiqi to the hotel. He was wearing a black ancient suit and it made him seem rather elegant. At the same time, he walked toward Mu Qiqi slowly. Then, he raised his hand and patted MU Qiqi’s head. “Why are you so naughty after you become one of the Shen family members?”

Everyone could hear that he was not blaming her. He was adoring her clearly.

It was certainly not weird given how they had met and got to know each other. That was why they were quite close. However, Shen Lin did not know about that. He knew that he had found the wrong person to be on his side after seeing how Sheng Xiao adored Mu Qiqi.

“I’m not being disobedient. You also know what happened in the Shen family recently. I just want to clarify some of my doubts. But, Bro Shen prohibited me from doing so. I want to ask about it so that everyone could be rest assured too.

“Both Second Uncle and Third Uncle believe in Yu Jing but I don’t. It’s because it’s my father who’s been lying in bed for more than ten years now. So, they won’t feel it as much as I do.”

Then, Grandpa Shen moved to make room for Sheng Xiao to take a seat. After that, Grandpa Shen said to Shen Lin, “The reason why Qiqi could return to the Shen family is because of Sheng Xiao. Their relationship is not something you can imagine.”

“No wonder she’s that reckless and arrogant. She has the Crown Prince on her side.”

“When am I so free to do that? I just helped her today since we bumped into each other.” Sheng Xiao sat with his legs crossed and answered Shen Lin lazily. “It seems like you’ve used physical force just now. If you don’t want her, just give her to our Sheng family. Why do you force yourselves to accept her?”

“Sheng Xiao, I’m sure you don’t know about Rong Junhan…”

“Who else doesn’t know about the cancellation of the wedding between the Shen family and the Rong family? Moreover, everyone knows about the fact that Rong Junhan has an illegitimate daughter. Even I heard about it. So, it’s not strange if Qiqi has some doubts. By the way, everyone out there is curious too.”

Sheng Xiao said nonchalantly.
