Chapter 220 - Little One, It’s Time for Us to Enjoy Ourselves

Cen Suyun had gone insane too. She rushed forward and held Shen Ruoyi’s body. She retorted to Grandpa Shen. “What’s wrong about that? Why can’t she admire Sheng Xiao? Is Sheng Xiao a king? No one could like him. What if he’s her uncle? They don’t have any blood relation. Moreover, Sheng Xiao is only five years older than Ruoyi. Why can’t she admire him?”

“That’s how you teach your daughter. That’s why your daughter acted like that. Just look at what she did. She went to work but she sneaked into the other’s office and took other people’s stuff. Shen Ruoyi, who taught you that? Tell me now!”

Shen Ruoyi was looking down at the floor, seemingly pathetic. In fact, she had nothing to say now.

It was because she never thought that Mama Sheng would enter the office when she was flipping through Sheng Xiao’s stuff.

She did not even know why she acted like that. It was indeed humiliating. She had not yet recovered herself.

“Speak now!”

“Grandpa, I’m sorry…I’ve embarrassed you.”

“Are you embarrassing me? No, you’re embarrassing yourself. You’re a young lady from the Shen family but you did such a shameful deed. What would the others think about you when they learned about this? What about your reputation?”

“I’ve given it up. I don’t want to think about it anymore!”

“What more could you do? Don’t you see how the Sheng family treats you? It’s clear that they don’t hold those kinds of feelings for you.” Grandpa Shen was furious. He beat her up a few times harshly. Then, he threw the wooden stick aside.

“From today onward, you need to stay home and reflect on your mistakes. You’re grounded for a month. Think about what you’ve done wrong. Tell me whenever you’ve thought it through.”

Shen Ruoyi leaned against Cen Suyun. In fact, she had no energy left to speak anymore. The corners of her mouth were stained with blood. It frightened Cen Suyun. She screamed aloud. “Ruoyi, my daughter. What should I do if anything happens to you?”

“Faster send her to the hospital.” Huang Yu urged her immediately.

“Bastard, you’re so cruel.”

Mu Qiqi witnessed the entire scene. It was just like how she would be in the future. Maybe, she was even worse than Shen Ruoyi. She was living together with Xiaoxiao. Moreover, she could feel that Grandpa Shen adored her more.

If…

Mu Qiqi went toward Grandpa Shen when she thought about that. She patted his back softly and consoled him, “Grandpa, your health is more important.”

“What a mess !” Grandpa Shen was disappointed. “Qiqi, the youngsters nowadays don’t even know about manners and propriety. But, I’ve set the rules long ago. I can’t disregard them now.”

“Grandpa…”

“Let’s forget about it. I’m tired. I want to return to my room and rest now. Just go home.” Grandpa Shen was upset and disappointed. It was because he had even praised Shen Ruoyi for her good behavior and manners two days ago.

But, the granddaughter whom he was had been proud of did such a thing. How could he remain calm?

Mu Qiqi did not dare to follow behind her grandpa. She felt like her feet were rooted to the ground and she could not even move.

Cen Suyun sent Shen Ruoyi to the hospital. At that moment, the Shen family was vacant just like Mu Qiqi’s heart.

Mu Qiqi hailed a car to return to the small villa after she left the Shen family. But, Sheng Xiao was still dealing with Mama Sheng and he had not returned to the villa yet. It seemed like it was indeed quite difficult for Grandpa Shen to accept this kind of thing.

***

It was just like what Mu Qiqi had predicted. Mama Sheng did go to meet her son with the excuse of returning the cufflinks to him.

She thought that Sheng Xiao was not at home. But, she saw that Sheng Xiao had just taken his bath and he was about to rest now.

“Son, see what I’ve brought you.”

Sheng Xiao saw that it was the cufflinks that had been given to him by Xiao Qi.

“Shen Ruoyi nearly took it away and I saw what she did. So, I went to the Shen family directly. I also retrieved it for you.”

Sheng Xiao took the cufflinks from her mother and raised it high up. He glanced at it under the lamp. Then, he said to Mama Sheng, “Mom, do you hate Shen Ruoyi?”

“It’s you who hate her. So, I don’t like her either.” Mama Sheng explained herself. “What I hate about her the most is she took something that belongs to you. I know you cherish those cufflinks so I’m angry with her.”

Sheng Xiao smirked and kept the cufflinks nicely. Then, he hugged Mama Sheng.

“Oh, what a surprise.”

Actually, Sheng Xiao was apologizing to his mother beforehand. It was because he would never give Xiao Qi up for the rest of his life. So, he was apologizing to his mother.

“Sheng Xiao, who gave this to you?”

“I’ll tell you later. It’s late now. I’ll send you home.”

“No need. I drove here.” Mama Sheng stopped him. “Go to sleep now. I’ll leave now.”

After a short while, Mama Sheng left the mansion. Then, Sheng Xiao grabbed his coat and returned to the small villa which he shared with Mu Qiqi. He soon saw that Mu Qiqi was sitting quietly on the sofa the moment he entered the villa. He frowned but it lasted only a second. Then, he released his frown and went to sit beside Mu Qiqi. He asked her, “If it’s so difficult, why don’t you give it up?”

Mu Qiqi looked up and stared at Sheng Xiao with a shock facial expression. “What are you talking about?”

“I know you can’t bear to hurt your grandpa.”

Mu Qiqi then put her arms around Sheng Xiao’s neck. She shook her head. “I don’t want that either. But, I’ll do everything I can to compensate for it. Moreover, I’ll never leave you.”

Sheng Xiao was satisfied. He hugged Mu Qiqi tightly. “It’s different now. Moreover, my mom intervened deliberately. It’s normal that your grandpa is angry.”

“Then what about the beautiful aunt?”

“Little one, I can’t give you an answer now because I’ll never lie to you. I should have known about all of these things before I become your boyfriend. So, I shouldn’t be afraid no matter how difficult it is.

“Resolve everything and win the fight. That’s the kind of ending we’re talking about.”

Mu Qiqi thought about it for a while. She felt much relaxed now.

“Give me some time. I’m afraid of my grandpa’s reaction. But, I’ll never give you up even if my grandpa beats me to death.”

“Silly girl. Do you think I’ll stand by and let the others touch you?” Then, Sheng Xiao lifted Mu Qiqi and went to the bathroom. He soaked a towel in the hot water and let her wipe her face. “Do you know why my mom was so angry today?”

“Why?’

Sheng Xiao handed Mu Qiqi the towel and took out the cufflinks from the pocket. “It’s because of this!”

“Third Aunt threw it into the aquarium just now in the Shen family. I was anxious so I wanted to take it out of the aquarium.” Mu Qiqi took the cufflinks from Sheng Xiao’s hand. She was satisfied. “I didn’t know that you cherish it deeply.”

“It came from my little one. Certainly, I’ll cherish it deeply like a family treasure.” Then, Sheng Xiao snatched it back from Mu Qiqi. Then, he lifted Mu Qiqi’s chin and kissed her. “Little one, it’s time for us to enjoy ourselves…”
