Chapter 397: It Seems You Want To Lose Everything

Sheng Xiao caught sight of Xu Che who was hanging behind the crowd just then, after Third Brother allowed him inside.

And once Xu Che caught sight of Sheng Xiao, he quickly went up to Sheng Xiao and whispered into his ear, “Everything is ready, Chief Sheng.”

“Keep Qi’er safe.” Sheng Xiao instructed.

“Understood.” Upon receiving his orders, Xu Che sought Mu Qiqi and promptly went to protect his mistress.

At the moment, Mu Qiqi had found the best spot to enjoy the show.

She simply had to know how Sheng Xiao would cut ties with the Sheng family.

Even though she wished in the depths of her heart that Sheng Xiao would not lose every last member of his family, she decided that it was better not to have relatives such as the Sheng family.

Meanwhile, once Old Sheng saw that the guests had arrived and having a lively time, he took Gu Ziling by the hand and went to the most conspicuous spot, ready to announce the engagement between Sheng Xiao and Gu Ziling.

“Everyone… It’s a pleasure to see you today. Thank you for coming to this old man’s birthday celebration despite your packed schedules, and it’s my wish that things would go well for you too.”

The guests’ gazes were promptly drawn to Old Sheng.

“On this auspicious day, not only shall I have a wonderful time with everyone, most importantly—and I trust everyone could see for themselves: my grandson Sheng Xiao has come home.”

“I’m pleased that he would return despite his confusion, because blood runs thicker than water in our family and we don’t give up on each other.”

“Therefore, on this occasion, there are two things I wish to announce. First, my grandson Sheng Xiao would continue leading Huang Yao to a greater path…”

“As for the second…” Old Sheng then turned to Gu Ziling who stood beside him, “Is that I intend to let Ziling and…”

However, before the old man could finish, a group of men wearing workplace name tags entered the Sheng’s house.

Old Sheng turned in confusion to his butler who explained, “Sir, they are from a charity foundation.”

“Charity foundation, here to do what…?”

“We’ve received a donation from Sheng Xiao and had come to sign an agreement.” The leader answered. “Apologies for disturbing—I really wasn’t aware that it’s your birthday celebration.”

“Eighth Brother…”

Sheng Xiao then stepped out from the crowd and extended his hand to take the donation agreement from the leader and signed it without looking through the details of the agreement. At the same time, he looked up at Old Sheng with a meaningful smile.

“Mister Sheng Xiao, allow me to thank you for your blessing and support for the seriously ill.”

“You’re welcome. My assistant would come to you later to settle any other proceedings. You may leave now.”

“Very well. Apologies for disturbing.”

The group left soon, while Old Sheng cast a puzzled glance at Sheng Xiao. “Why would you think of doing charity on such a day?”

“To earn you good karma, of course.” Sheng Xiao smiled. “It’s just one-tenth of Huang Yao stocks anyway, so it isn’t much now is it?”

The old man was stunned. “What did you say?”

Noticing that things had gone awry, Second Brother and Sixth Brother quickly went up to help the old man stand.

“What sort of joke is this, Eighth Brother?”

“I’ve left some too. I wonder who here is interested.” Sheng Xiao said, placing both hands in his trouser pockets, looking exactly like your average rich kid.

“You…” Old Sheng pointed at Sheng Xiao with a shaking finger then. “Are you only satisfied after you angered me to death?!”

“What’s wrong with putting my stocks to use after you returned them to me?” Sheng Xiao asked in return. “Or perhaps you didn’t really intend to give it to me?”

The crowd looked on, confused by what Sheng Xiao was trying to achieve.

After all, he had just donated away a tenth of Huang Yao’s stocks.

What did that mean?

Was he not intending to return to the Sheng family?

“Or is there something wrong with me donating away my stocks?”

“Are you trying to take revenge on the family, Eighth Brother? Grandfather treated you so well and arranged everything for you…”

“Now you get it?” Sheng Xiao replied. “Just because the rest of you enjoy his benefits, it doesn’t mean I’m a masochist who enjoys… a life arranged by someone else. By the way, wasn’t the old man about to announce something important? You should say it now…”

The old man’s whole body was shaking right then. Would he even dare to give him Gu Ziling?

“Eighth Brother, do you know that you’ve completely hurt me when you do this?”

“I never knew that you had a heart.” Sheng Xiao answered coolly. “How about this? It’s your birthday, so let’s play a game to entertain our guest…”

“Any guest who challenges me would get one percent of Huang Yao stocks.”

“Sheng Xiao!” Old Sheng roared furiously. “Are you more keen on being a dog in the Shen family than being with us?”

“It seems that you really want to lose everything.”

“Don’t forget that you are a Sheng! The Sheng family gave you all your wealth and position!”

“Are you not afraid to be struck by lightning with how you’re behaving today?”

“No wonder you said there’s no need for Second Brother to pass his work to you last night… You had no intention to return to Huang Yao, did you?”

“Is the Shen family that nice you would snuggle up to them like a pug?”

“Didn’t you know that I planned to engage you with Miss Gu. I’ve given you the best, but what about you? Are you even human?”

“Wasn’t you the one who brought me back the Sheng family? Since you want me back, you should be letting me have my way. What’s wrong with me giving away my stocks? I can’t refuse by principle if you want me back at Huang Yao either, though I’ve never said that I would lead the company well.”

“If you believe the Sheng family made me, gave me power and wealth… I’m standing here right now, and you can take my life anytime you want.”

“Isn’t that what you want? It’s your joy in controlling me.”

The old man was furious. His entire face was red and his breathing ragged.

Every guest present were all afraid that the old man would drop if his mind caves.

“All of this because of Mu Qiqi…”

“You’re wrong. All of this happened because you are bent on controlling my life, including my marriage. Since you’ve made my life this way with the intention of turning me into your chess piece, why don’t you do one more thing and help me marry Gu Ziling too. Wouldn’t that be perfect?”
