Chapter 920: Have You Prepared the Tickets for Me?
When Old Master Shen found out that the old chief had passed away, he sat by the fishpond quietly the whole afternoon.
Although Elder Liu’s illness was the result of accumulation over time, the Song family’s actions had intensified the conflict between the father and sons of the Liu family. In the end, they had forced the old chief, who had been a soldier for his entire life, to his deathbed.
Old Master Shen always wanted to do something, but he has gone, and no matter how much he did, he could not save a life.
After Mu Qiqi left the Jianchuan branch office, she went straight to the Shen family’s home.
“Your grandfather has been sitting in silence the whole afternoon. He must have suffered a lot. He’s usually stubborn and doesn’t listen to anyone except you. So, I asked you to come over.”
Huang Yu pointed at Old Master Shen who was sitting by the fishpond as she spoke to Mu Qiqi.
“Everyone has their own destiny. Thinking back to the past, Shen Lin was once like this too. How sad I was back then. Speaking of this, I would like to thank you again.”
“It’s all in the past. Isn’t it good that Shen Lin is in the army now?”
Mu Qiqi consoled Huang Yu before approaching Old Master Shen.
“You’ve fed all the mosquitoes by the fishpond.”
Old Master Shen turned around and saw Mu Qiqi. He sighed. “Why are you here?”
“Grandfather, I don’t mean to criticize you, but you really don’t understand Grandfather Liu at all. He fulfilled a wish of his. When he left, he was so peaceful and had no regrets in his heart. This might be the best relief for him. You should fulfill his wishes and not keep dwelling on this matter.”
“How could I not have known what he was thinking? However, there are people from the Song family who played a part in all this. How can I not be angry?”
“I know. You don’t want to let this villain’s evil plan succeed, but Grandfather, don’t forget that we still have a long time ahead of us. Since ancient times, evil can not triumph over good. Sooner or later, the Song family will be taken care of by us. Why are you in such a rush? Think about it. The Song family has been dormant for more than twenty years. How many days have you endured?”
Old Master Shen looked at the clever girl beside him and could not help but laugh. “You always find all kinds of fallacies to comfort people.”
“How are these fallacies? You should buck up. In two days, I will go with you to Luo Hai to mourn Grandfather Liu. Moreover, there is a good show to be staged tomorrow.”
“You lass, what are you planning?”
“Your grandson-in-law is watching. Nothing will happen. Don’t worry.” After saying that, Mu Qiqi leaned on the old man’s shoulder and said, “Grandfather, do you know how many bodies from abnormal deaths are found in the police station every day? Cold bodies. The youngest ones are probably just babies in swaddling clothes. Compared to these, I think Grandfather Liu must have something worth remembering in his life.”
“He has gone to the other side, so you really don’t have to be sad for him.
“If you continue to look like that, your great-grandson might not be happy.”
When this girl tried to persuade people, she was really full of nonsense, but you just can’t help liking her.
Old Master Shen could not help but shake his head and admit defeat. “I’m going to eat now, okay?”
“If you still act like this tomorrow, I won’t like coming to see you anymore.”
“You’re threatening me…” Old Master Shen was unhappy.
However, he obediently left the fishpond and asked those in the small kitchen at home to prepare some dinner.
When Huang Yu saw this, she gave Mu Qiqi a thumbs up.
As expected, it was the most precious granddaughter who succeeded. “Sheng Xiao is here to pick you up. Go back.”
Mu Qiqi nodded and left the Shen family’s compound with her long dress.
At this moment, Sheng Xiao was standing at the entrance.
When Mu Qiqi saw the man’s slender figure, her gaze unconsciously turned a little greedy. Especially the moment Sheng Xiao turned around, Mu Qiqi felt her heart stop.
Sheng Xiao was very familiar with such a gaze. After so many years, she still looked as if she couldn’t wait to eat him up.
Back then, when she had a crush on him, she did not even bother to cover it up.
The two of them held hands and returned to the Banyan Courtyard. Mu Qiqi thought of Song Bozhi’s speech tomorrow and quickly asked Sheng Xiao, “Have you prepared the tickets for me?”
“Are you worried about Xu Che?” Sheng Xiao turned to ask her.
“Of course not. It’s just that when I was persuading Grandfather at the fishpond just now, I was actually even angrier than him. The matter with Qianqian was hard enough to swallow.”
“There will be many opportunities to fight with the Song family in the future. There’s no need to rush. Don’t worry. I forgot to tell you that the venue for Song Bozhi’s speech tomorrow is under the Sheng family’s territory.”
Mu Qiqi knew that the man beside her could hold a grudge for years without venting it, but she couldn’t.
If she was the only one who felt uncomfortable, then she definitely couldn’t tolerate it. She just couldn’t.
“I’ll give Song Bozhi a taste of my power tomorrow.”
“I’ll let Xu Che follow you tomorrow.”
Mu Qiqi naturally wouldn’t refuse since she was pregnant.
..
After hearing the news of Elder Liu’s death, the Song family celebrated with champagne at home in the middle of the night. Song Jiang was especially happy.
“If your dead grandparents and aunt knew about this, they would be elated. Of course, that’s not enough. After some time, send the Shen family down as well and let them kowtow to admit their mistakes.”
Song Bozhi’s expression was a little stiff. How much affection did he have for his relatives whom he had never met before?
That was impossible.
“Ah Kai did well in this matter. When he and Qiaozhi return to Jianchuan, you should treat him better,” Song Jiang instructed. “In the future, I have more important tasks for him.”
“If I were Sheng Kai, none of the Liu family’s brothers would be spared,” Song Bozhi said ruthlessly.
“And what about the things I told you to do? How are you doing? You still have the cheek to talk about others.” Song Jiang snorted coldly. “I think if I were to count on you to get Mu Qiqi, I might have to wait until I die of old age.”
“You have to play the game slowly. How boring is it to achieve your goal from the beginning?” Song Bozhi shrugged indifferently. “If you show your trump card to the Sheng family now, you won’t have to wait until the new generation. Sheng Xiao will take care of you directly.”
“You’d better be really confident.” Sometimes, Song Jiang could not see through his own son.
What kind of trick was he playing?
Song Bozhi took a sip of wine. Indeed, his attention was on Mu Qiqi. However, when faced with such a highly intelligent woman who was completely devoted to Sheng Xiao, he did not know what to do with her in such a short time.
He could not just simply take any course of action!
“In a few days, when that old man Liu is in the ground, I’ll find a few people to dig up his grave and make sure there’s no remains of his body. It’ll be considered an explanation for Grandpa, Grandma, and first aunt, right?”
When Song Jiang heard this, he nodded. “That’s a good idea. When the time comes, I’ll give that old fart of the Shen family the same treatment.”
Old people liked this kind of treatment. Song Bozhi’s face showed disdain. They were already dead, so why would they care about these empty words…
