“What did you do? Tell me!”

 Did it matter now what he did to Shen Jianchuan? Grandpa Shen had always thought that it was his son who had gotten into a fight. So, he did not look deeper into the matter since his son caused the injury himself. But now it turned out that he was lying in the hospital thanks to his old best friend? Who would have thought about that?

 Actually, since the day the identities of the twins were revealed, Grandpa Shen had somehow guessed it. But now that Papa Mu was in the prison and fifteen years had passed since the incident happened, there was no way to go back to trace back the truth.

 “He became like this just for a woman like that.” Grandpa Shen sighed.

 “Senior Officer, do you want to get revenge for the young master?”

 “You sort things out yourself,” said Grandpa Shen. He was uninterested in that street rat, but he just wanted an eye for an eye. “Quietly.”

 “Leave it to us, Senior Officer. We will ‘take care’ of him.”

 This was the last phone call Grandpa Shen had made to settle the old score. Su Ziqing had been in fact a ruthless woman. She had given birth to the daughter of the Shen family but had let the Mu family raise her. Anyway, she had been punished for what she had done. More importantly, the daughter of the Mu family was also paying the price for what she had done now. Mu Tangxue was taking Mu Qiqi’s place and being bombarded by the missiles of the Shen family now.

 Seeing Mu Tangxue being all excited at the moment, he bet the coming weekend would be even more thrilling.

 Third Elder’s wife was now busying flattering Mu Tangxue. How shameful she would feel after knowing the truth.

 As for Mu Qiqi, he did not know how she was feeling right now.

 …

 In fact, Mu Qiqi was not bothered by the Shen family at all. She was very busy since her first semester in Sheng Ting University started. So, in these few days, she was busy registering into the school and familiarizing herself with the campus. And for the upcoming week, she had to attend a military camping training outside the school. So, Mu Qiqi was not worried about the Shen family party at all.

 It was only in the evening after Sheng Xiao returned home, he would check on Mu Qiqi’s knowledge about the members of the Shen family and her progress on learning the table manner.

 But the lessons always ended with Mu Qiqi sitting on Sheng Xiao’s lap.

 “Xiaoxiao, when are you going to let Grandpa know our relationship after I return to the Shen family?”

 Mu Qiqi wanted to know what she should do next.

 “You still haven’t returned to the Shen family but you already consider yourself a Shen?” Sheng Xiao held her with one hand and a wine glass with another. He took a sip.

 Mu Qiqi blushed. She touched Sheng Xiao’s lips with her finger and her eyes were full of affection. “Isn’t your family urging you to get married?”

 “Why? Are you already thinking of getting married?” Sheng Xiao chuckled and said, “I promised my mother I will bring her a daughter-in-law in two years’ time.”

 “I will do my best.” Mu Qiqi put up her hand as a promise.

 Sheng Xiao put down his glass and held her hand that was put up high. He put her hand on his chest and said, “You can show me your best now.”

 Mu Qiqi knew what he was saying. So, she reached out her other hand and slowly unbuttoned his shirt.

 Sheng Xiao enjoyed watching Mu Qiqi’s face. When his shirt was open, he picked Mu Qiqi up and put her on the table without hesitation. Then, a kiss connected them together. “Whether it is the Shen family or the Sheng family that you are joining, I will back you up.”

 Mu Qiqi’s heart was as if melted by a blaze of fire. All she saw now was Sheng Xiao’s handsome face. There was nothing more important this now.

 “I have tried on the dress. It’s very beautiful.” Mu Qiqi said in the midst of intimacy.

 Sheng Xiao held her waist and smiled. “Of course, whose taste is that?”

 It was a dazzling black dress that complemented Mu Qiqi’s body shape well, pretty but not too mature. Sheng Xiao knew it would suit Mu Qiqi the first time he saw the dress. She looked good in dark outfits.

 …

 The atmosphere in the Shen family was gloomy and tense these days. The whole family struggled with anger after the arguments. But they still could not change Grandpa Shen’s mind to announce the return of the two sisters.

 Yet Mu Tangxue was not close to anyone apart from Third Aunt since the day she was in the Shen family’s mansion. The other family members were annoyed when they saw them sticking to each other all the time.

 “This Mu Tangxue is so rude. How about the other one? She hasn’t even made her appearance yet.”

 “I heard that she will be coming tomorrow morning. We will know what kind of person she is when we see her. But I bet she will not be any better than this one. They are both raised by the Mu family. How different can they be?” said Shen Libing.

 “We will see. Maybe she is worse than Mu Tangxue.”

 Grandpa Shen overheard the conversation. Instead of arguing with them, he called Sheng Xiao on Saturday night. “Sheng Xiao, how is Qiqi’s training with you?”

 “Oh? How are you so sure I will train her?”

 “Qiqi was saved by you. Of course you will make arrangements to train her. The other people might not know your style, but I sure do.” Grandpa Shen laughed. “I am more assured with Qiqi in your hands than in anyone else’s hand.”

 “Don’t have too much faith in me, Uncle Shen.”

 “I will send my people to fetch Qiqi tomorrow morning. Please let Jing Yun do his best for tomorrow’s drama.”

 There was no other person who was better than Jing Yun to be the one to raise the issue regarding Mu Tangxue’s identity. When the ceremony of recognizing the twins as the members of the Shen family begins, Jing Yun would step in and speak out. By then, his words would make Mu Tangxue fall into her grave.

 Sheng Xiao hung up and intensified his movement with Mu Qiqi. She was going to a war tomorrow but he could not stay by her side when it happened.

 Mu Qiqi was covered with sweat. Her energy was drained so she just draped her arms around Sheng Xiaos’s neck. Her eyes were full of confusion.

 The next morning, Sheng Xiao sent Mu Qiqi back to the mansion where Su Zipei lived.

 Seeing Sheng Xiao hesitate to leave, Su Zipei said, “Don’t worry, Young Master Sheng. Jing Yun and I will take good care of Qiqi today.”

 Mu Qiqi squeezed Sheng Xiao’s hands a little and said, “I know what to do. Don’t worry.”

 In the end, Sheng Xiao left. But he still wanted to go to the Shen family’s mansion so badly. Although he had countlessly reminded Qiqi about things she needed to pay attention to and she would be protected by Grandpa Shen, the other people would not seem to cherish his little one.

 By then, Mu Qiqi had changed into her black dress and was dressed up as a fine lady.

 “Remember not to embarrass Young Master Sheng when you get there.” As Su Zipei reminded Mu Qiqi, she helped her to put on a crystal bracelet on her hand. “It is a gift from Uncle Lu.”

 “Don’t worry, Aunt. I will end it with Mu Tangxue for good.”

 “Your grandfather’s car is already outside. The presents Young Master Sheng prepared for you are already put into the car. Let’s get going.” Su Zipei patted Mu Qiqi’s shoulder and said, “To me, you are far nobler than the Shen family.”

 How were the members of the Shen family? They were dying to see Mu Qiqi now!
