Chapter 180: I’m Angry but I’ll Teach You a Lesson
Grandpa Shen asked Shen Jinyun to list out how many business deals he had with Rong Junhan.
Now, Second Elder was anxious.
“We still have three other companies with her other than Sheng Rong.”
“It’s not the time to count how many companies you have with her now. I just want to know whether you ever do anything against the law for her. Did you do any backroom deal for her?” Grandpa Shen sat down in the living room and put both of his hands on his knees.
“Dad, you know who I am. I won’t be so daring as to do those things.”
“We still need to look into it to see whether you ever did anything illegal. Huang Yu, tell me about Xiao Jing.” Grandpa Shen stared at Shen Jinyu before turning to look at Huang Yu.
But, Huang Yu became much worried when they mentioned Shen Lin. “When Xiao Jing was first together with Shen Lin, she told us that her father is a painter. Her mother passed away because of the difficulties she faced when she was giving birth to her. She’s never met her mother before. So, nobody doubted whatever she told us.
“Yesterday, I asked my reliable friend to help me to look into it. Finally, we found that Rong Junhan did date a poor painter before when she was younger. But, nobody knew that they had a daughter.
“Moreover, all of Jinyun’s and my property belong to Shen Lin now. If Xiao Jing wanted to do something, I’m afraid that our entire wealth would be snatched away.”
“Why are you so gullible? Why didn’t Rong Junhan go after Third Elder and Third Aunt instead? But, I’m responsible for it too.” Grandpa Shen took a deep breath. “Now, the biggest problem lies with Shen Lin. It would be better if Shen Lin could refrain from being lied to and differentiate between good and bad. But, what if…”
“I’ll call Shen Lin now and ask him to come home…”
“What could we do if we ask him to come back? Do you want him to divorce his wife given that he’s just gotten married?” Grandpa Shen was having a headache now. Rong Junhan was indeed a wicked woman. How could she plot such a scheme? “Moreover, Shen Lin adores Xiao Jing. He might not believe what you tell him. Then, you’ll lose both of your son and your property.”
“Then, what should we do now?”
“How many days till their return?” Grandpa Shen asked.
“There are two more days left…” Huang Yu replied immediately.
“Two days…Then, we really should think about it properly.”
“There’s one more problem, dad. Shen Lin might have some prejudices against Qiqi because I…”
Grandpa Shen stared at her and soon she understood what she was saying. It was normal for a mother to complain about something to her son. But, he could not help but chide her, “Did Xiao Qi owe you in her previous life?!”
***
At the same time, Jing Yun had foreseen everything beforehand. He had prepared the data required. Then, he handed it to Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao read through the report. He felt that Rong Junhan was rather interesting. It was because Second Elder was a rather honest but dull man. So, she could bring along her daughter and cling onto his entire family like a leech.
It was fine even if she had cheated their money. What was worse was she had cheated them of their feelings and emotions. It could never be forgiven.
“Shen Lin will be back from overseas after two or three days. He is a reckless and arrogant man. Moreover, you’re younger than him. So, it’s normal if he stands against you. Moreover, he has a wife beside him who would always be slandering you.”
“What does it matter even if he hates me? I don’t rely on him!” Mu Qiqi leaned against Sheng Xiao and sneered.
“But, you managed to expose Rong Junhan. I’m afraid that the entire Shen family is counting on you to resolve the problem related to Shen Lin too.”
“They just got married. How could I go and tell him that his wife married him just because of his money?” Mu Qiqi could not take that because it would be rather an excruciating experience if she put herself in the same situation.
If somebody else came along and asked her to break up with Sheng Xiao, she would rather die than live on.
“They did lie to everyone no matter what you said. You think that it’s cruel but Rong Junhan and her daughter do not think so.” Sheng Xiao turned around and hugged Mu Qiqi. Then, he put her on his legs.
“What if I lie to you?” Mu Qiqi asked a probing question.
Sheng Xiao bent down and smiled. “You won’t be able to lie to me given your naivety. Even if you do lie to me and I find out about it, I’ll surely give you a smack on your hip.”
“Won’t you be angry at me?”
“I would surely be angry but I’ll teach you a lesson. I’ll beat you once for every time you lie to me. But, I cannot bear to send you away from me. You’ll always be my little one no matter if you are good or bad.” Sheng Xiao raised Mu Qiqi’s chin. His eyes seemed dark and dangerous. He warned her, “I told you before. Don’t think of leaving since you pulled me down to hell first.”
“I… I’ll never lie to you on anything serious. Just, maybe some little lies here and there.” Mu Qiqi held up her hands and signaled to him just how little she lied to him.
“I know.”
It was because there were not many people who could lie to him for real.
Although he did everything in a rather wicked way, he was actually a sensible and sensitive person. Sheng Xiao could notice something which would usually be overlooked by the others. He understood how the world worked perfectly. So, did you still want to lie to him? It might not be enough even if you practiced for it for ten lives.
“Do you think that I’m old after trying your little uncle’s body?”
Mu Qiqi blushed deeply when she remembered what had happened just now.
“Could you please stop discussing this problem here?”
“We’re in bed now. What should we talk about instead of this?” Sheng Xiao messed with her intentionally.
“Then… it’s quite nice. What do you think about it?”
“If that’s the case, let’s try it again.” Then, Sheng Xiao switched off the light directly…
Although the room became darker now, the atmosphere became much lovelier. Soon, low whimpers could be heard.
***
In fact, Second Elder was in a mess now. He wanted somebody to come and lend a hand to him.
He cared not for the money now. It was because he could not standby and see his son being ruined like that. Rong Junhan plotted a scheme like that and controlled his son. Who knew how she would manipulate him?
Huang Yu was a frank and honest person. She was quick if she was engaged in a fight. But, regarding plotting a scheme…
She was slightly weaker than Third Aunt. Moreover, she was not close to Third Aunt.
“Father, why don’t we ask everybody to sit down for a meal when they’re back? We’ll let Shen Lin get to know Qiqi.” Huang Yu suggested to Grandpa Shen.
Although Grandpa Shen disliked how Huang Yu had acted before, he still approved of her suggestion. Huang Yu wanted to beat Qiqi up but now she wanted to ask for her help. It was indeed humiliating. “That’s good. We’ll let them get to know each other since they should treat each other like peers.
“But, I’m telling you now. If Shen Lin is rude to Qiqi, you can’t side with your son and spoil him.”
“Dad, I know my mistakes now. Moreover, I know that Qiqi is innocent and we’ve wronged her before. Although I’m stupid, I still can differentiate between good and bad. Since Qiqi is a kind person, surely I’ll not treat her badly anymore.” Huang Yu explained.
“That’s more like it.”
But, Shen Lin had been bewitched by his wife. His prejudice against Mu Qiqi was quite deep now…
