Chapter 870 - Did They Think He No Longer Had His Temper?

When Mu Qiqi saw the news that came out the next day, she knew that her man had not suffered a loss, so she was relieved.

However, when she finally saw the true face of the murderer behind Bai Xinyi’s case, Mu Qiqi’s eyes turned cold.

“What’s so interesting about the newspaper? That Song family member is being suppressed by Master anyway. Young Madam, come and have some soup.”

Upon hearing Fifth Aunt’s shout, Mu Qiqi snorted. “It’s said that looks are born from the heart. With this family’s appearance, it’s obvious that they’ve done all kinds of bad things.”

“You’re so capable that you even know how to read people just from their appearance?” Sheng Xiao said as he walked down from the second floor.

“People have auras. I’m not attacking that Song person personally. Look at you. With your wise and divine temperament, you can shake the world wherever you go.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.” Being a science student, she really could not be counted on to be a smooth talker.

Mu Qiqi burst into laughter. “Since the Song family has declared war, I wonder what their next plan is.”

Sheng Xiao took a seat beside Mu Qiqi and reached out to take the coffee Fifth Aunt handed him without a word.

Song Bozhi had been talking about two people the night before. One was Sheng Kai, who he had in his grasp, and the other was Mu Qiqi, who Sheng Xiao had hidden at home.

Presumably, Song Bozhi would target these two people in the future and come looking for trouble with him.

Song Jiang wanted to act in secret, so Song Bozhi would not let him off too easily.

Seeing that her man did not say anything, Mu Qiqi did not ask any further. “Don’t worry. I’ll stay at home obediently and won’t go anywhere.”

Sheng Xiao actually did not want to be so strict. In a place as huge as Jianchuan, everyone had to give him some face wherever he went. However, sometimes he would think that if Mu Qiqi was in danger, he would do whatever it took, even if it meant risking his life to protect the little thing’s safety. He did not want her to suffer the slightest bit of injustice.

When he thought about how Feng Shanshan had almost been sold, he could not stand it at all.

“Go to work. Fifth Aunt and I will vacate the cloakroom today and put our baby’s crib in it.”

“Don’t carry heavy things,” Sheng Xiao instructed.

“I know what to do. Don’t worry.” Mu Qiqi finished her soup and went to unpack the crib.

Sheng Xiao shook his head helplessly and left after giving a few more instructions to Fifth Aunt. However, no one noticed a tiny drone outside the 300-square-meter villa. It was being controlled by someone and was spying on everything here.

Last night, Song Bozhi had said that he had just bought a useful gadget and today was a good day to test its performance.

At the Yashang Group reception, Sheng Xiao had not given any face to the Song family. Song Bozhi had kept this grudge in his heart. And since he kept guessing that Sheng Xiao had kept Mu Qiqi hidden, if Sheng Xiao really did not have any fear toward the Song family, why would he need to hide a living person?

Mu Qiqi seriously ill?

Only an idiot would believe that.

..

Afternoon, Song family.

Song Jiang had just returned from a business meeting. He saw that Song Bozhi did not go to the company. Instead, he came back with a small gadget. He looked stern and a little disappointed. “Since you’re back, can’t you help your father?”

“Of course. I’m helping you.” Song Bozhi raised the drone in his hand and said, “This thing is made in Germany. It doesn’t make any noise. Very high-tech. Guess what it got?”

“Bozhi...”

“Old fogey, all you do is eat with those people like Deputy Mayor Liang. I don’t blame you. Mu Qiqi is pregnant, and Sheng Xiao’s hiding it. It’s no wonder. Cheng Bin, your subordinate, made that policeman restless, so it’s understandable that he’s doing this.”

After hearing this, Song Jiang’s expression changed. “What do you mean?”

“When a woman gives birth, it’s a matter of life and death. If you want to deal with Sheng Xiao, you can make good use of these ten months. So, Dad, you go about your business in private. Leave the matters of dealing with Sheng Xiao to me. I’ll make him flustered and unable to free up his hands.”

Song Jiang nodded and sternly instructed him, “The one in the Shen family now has a good political record and is very likely to be re-elected. If Sheng Xiao continues to be a stumbling block in the middle, your father’s decades of effort will have been wasted.”

“Bring your sister along when you have time.”

The corners of Song Bozhi’s mouth curled into a meaningful smile. “Which sister of mine? The one who’s watching Sheng Kai? Dad, I’m not trying to disappoint you, but these two will definitely cause you a lot of trouble in the end.”

“Then you don’t have to bother with them.”

Song Bozhi shrugged. He did not intend to bother with them. His hobby was just finding trouble with Sheng Xiao.

Mu Qiqi being pregnant was a great thing. What was there to hide? Why don’t... he help Sheng Xiao make the news public so that President Sheng would be busy?

Then, he passed the photos taken by the drone to his assistant.

Since they were already setting up the crib, everyone in Jianchuan would be happy for President Sheng.

Just an hour later, the news of Mu Qiqi being pregnant was published on the internet with a photo attached.

The young bride of the Sheng family had yet to even turn twenty-two years old. Although she and Sheng Xiao had registered abroad, the domestic law did not recognize their marriage. Therefore, no matter how close the two were, Mu Qiqi was still labeled as being pregnant out of wedlock.

“So she wasn’t sick at all. I felt sorry for her in vain. I didn’t expect her to be having the CEO’s child.”

“She’s actually going to have a child before getting married. Of course the Sheng family’s little bride dares to do it. She’s the same person who seduced a man at the age of seventeen.”

Although there was no picture of Mu Qiqi being pregnant in the photo, wasn’t it obvious enough as she had taken a break from school and arranged a crib at home?

In an instant, the news of Mu Qiqi’s pregnancy stirred up a thousand waves.

There were envious, jealous, sarcastic, and mean comments.

“President, should we... get the media to block the news?” Xu Che stood in front of Sheng Xiao and asked, “When Young Madam sees this, it will affect her mood.”

“No need,” Sheng Xiao answered flatly. “We can’t hide it from her.”

“Then should we just let it go?”

It was obvious who did this. It was only his second day back in the country, and he had already made a move. Looks like he had gotten used to the time difference very quickly.

“I originally wanted to spend ten months in peace and let Qi’er give birth to the baby in a low-key manner. It looks like the Song family is here to disrupt my plans and keep me busy.”

“The public is being very harsh toward Young Madam...”

“If you think that these things will make her unable to eat, then you’re dead wrong. She doesn’t care at all.” Therefore, Sheng Xiao felt that there was no need to take this matter to heart.

If the Song family felt that this would break Mu Qiqi’s little heart...

Then let them think so.

However, did the media really think that he no longer had his temper?
