Chapter 872 - Do You… Like Me That Much?

In the evening, Sheng Xiao went to the Shen family’s home from Zhongteng.

When he saw Old Master Shen fishing at the fish pond, he sat down beside him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I haven’t fished with you for many years.”

Old Master Shen tilted his head. Seeing that it was Eighth Brother, he snorted. “You even knew that I would be angry.”

“It’s normal for you to be angry.”

“Old Eight, you made Qiqi become a mother at the age of twenty-one. I won’t blame you for this. After all, Qiqi was willing to do this on her own accord. But what I feel sorry for is that you didn’t take good care of her reputation. I’m already old and there’s nothing to care about. But, Xiao Qi still has a long way to go. If she bears the stigma of being pregnant out of wedlock now, how will others view her in the future?”

“You know that Xiao Qi doesn’t care. Why are you still blaming Old Eight?” Behind the two of them, Shen Jianchuan suddenly said, “Dad, this is the Song family causing trouble. Speaking of which, we are the ones who got Xiao Qi involved.”

After hearing his own son’s words, Old Master Shen fell silent.

“Old Eight still thought of coming here and showing you manners and respect. That’s good of him. Don’t be too harsh on him.”

“You’re so full of yourself. What else do I care about?” Old Master Shen snorted. “Twenty-five years ago, the Song family was nothing good. Twenty-five years later, they’ve raised a bunch of little bastards. If anyone’s to blame, it’s my fault for not getting rid of them back then.”

“It was my negligence that allowed the Song family to take advantage of the loophole,” Sheng Xiao answered the two of them. “However, this should be just the beginning.”

“What are your plans now?”

Sheng Xiao stared at Shen Jianchuan but did not say anything. The battle with the Song family was not something that could be resolved in a short period of time. Hence, there was no need to make a big fuss over such a small matter now.

“Grandfather, don’t worry. I will make arrangements for Qi’er. I came here to talk about this.”

When Shen Jianchuan heard that, he patted Sheng Xiao’s chest and said, “I know that you want to know what the rest of the Shen family thinks. We’ve always been against outsiders on this issue, and it’s not Qiqi’s fault. Your grandfather and I didn’t put that much importance on our reputation.”

“Thank you, Dad.”

“There’s no need for you to carry these things on your shoulders. Do you think that you’re not under enough pressure? Go back and tell Qiqi to rest and be at peace.”

And that meant that he would be home on time.

This man had never had anything to be afraid of. However, he cared about Mu Qiqi’s feelings and had thought of everything for her. The reason why he went to the Shen family first was because he wanted to be confident when he consoled her.

When he entered, Mu Qiqi was reading a book on nutrition. Sheng Xiao put down his coat and stared at that thing. “The book is upside down. Can you read it?”

Mu Qiqi pretended to be serious but had failed. She got up from the sofa and said, “I was afraid that you would think too much, so I tried to match with your thoughts.”

“I just went to the Shen family. Grandfather and Dad didn’t care. You don’t have to worry that they would lose face.”

“I’m not worried.” Mu Qiqi snorted. “They’ve known me for a long time. They’re already used to my defiant ways.”

“That Song guy made fun of me on the second day. Not bad.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll return him a big gift in two days.” Sheng Xiao carried her upstairs and placed her on the couch next to the desk. “Xu Che has already gone to deal with it. The matter will be suppressed tomorrow.”

“I thank his ancestors for helping me announce this matter to the world.”

Seeing Mu Qiqi’s expression, Sheng Xiao waved at her. “Come here.”

“What?” Mu Qiqi got up and walked over to Sheng Xiao, then sat on his legs.

Sheng Xiao put his hand into Mu Qiqi’s shirt and gently caressed her stomach. “Saying hello to the one in your stomach...”

“He’s still little.” Mu Qiqi hugged Sheng Xiao’s neck and lowered her head. “Batian, grow up quickly and get out of my stomach as soon as possible.”

Sheng Xiao frowned slightly. He felt that if a son came out and found out that he had such a name, he would probably want to return to his mother’s womb and change his gender.

As Mu Qiqi spoke, she also moved around on Master Xiao’s legs.

He did not expect that Mu Qiqi would notice that something was not right a moment later.

“Master Xiao, you can’t be... You’re such a beast. I’m pregnant.”

Sheng Xiao did not think much of it. He just held her in place and did not let her move. “Sometimes just thinking of your name can make me react. And now you’re sitting in my arms.”

Mu Qiqi’s face instantly turned red.

“Do you... like me that much?”

“What do you think?”

Such a low and seductive voice made Mu Qiqi feel as if her bones were going to melt.

“Wait for me three months from now. We’ll... we’ll...”

“Idiot.”

..

Despite the incident with Mu Qiqi, the Sheng family and the Shen family did not respond. They did not clarify anything or say anything. The two families acted as if nothing had happened, allowing Jianchuan’s people to mock and ridicule them without getting angry.

Song Bozhi thought about it and realized that Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi were no ordinary people. They were able to get together when she was just seventeen years old. Of course, they did not care about etiquette, justice, or shame.

He did not have any interest in exposing this matter. He was just stepping on Sheng Xiao’s toes and taking revenge for last night.

Sheng Xiao wanted to hide Mu Qiqi, but he would not let him. Today, he had only exposed the news of Mu Qiqi’s pregnancy. Next, he was going to lure Mu Qiqi out.

Staying at home all the time was harmful to pregnant women’s health, wasn’t it?

However, Sheng Xiao’s precautions were, of course, flawless. There was no way he could get in touch with Mu Qiqi just like that. The drone could only get in once.

Therefore, he had his eyes on... a very easy target.

Lu Qianqian!

Mu Qiqi only had two best friends. Feng Shanshan was guarded by a policeman, so she was not to be trifled with. However, Lu Qianqian only had a boyfriend who was often in school.

In addition, Papa Lu had already passed away. How tiring was it for a little girl to watch over the Lu Corporation?

He should go and help out.

..

The day after Mu Qiqi’s pregnancy was exposed, people thought that Sheng Xiao would not make a move and let the matter fester. However, who knew that the next day, the website that had initially exposed Mu Qiqi’s pregnancy had disappeared overnight.

It was a popular cultural forum, and it was shut down in the morning.

And Xu Che’s words were simple. “If you want to expose the news, go ahead. We won’t forcefully suppress the news. We’ll only forcefully suppress your boss.”

“If you’re not convinced, feel free to provoke the media.

“I’ll take my time and call them one by one.”

No one knew exactly what kind of background Sheng Xiao had, and some people wanted to waste time with him. They felt that Sheng Xiao was too much of a bully.

However, as people in the media, how could they waste time with someone of such a large industrial group like Sheng Xiao?
