Grandpa Shen tilted his head and looked at Mu Qiqi after he heard that. He asked her, “Who taught you all of these?”
“What?” Mu Qiqi pretended not to understand his meaning intentionally.
“It might be your dad or Sheng Xiao. They’re the ones who are truly wicked.” Grandpa Shen said to Mu Qiqi.
“Maybe because I’ve heard a lot about those tactics and that’s why. Sometimes, Jing Yun told me about Sheng… so, I learned a bit here and there.” She could not bring herself to address Sheng Xiao as her uncle. So, she skipped it directly.
“Father, why is it not good given how Qiqi is now? She’s witty and she’ll not be framed by anybody. It’ll be worse if she resembles us.” Huang Yu turned and looked at Mu Qiqi again after she said those words. She seemed slightly guilty and grateful at the same time. “Qiqi, I’ve wronged you. I want to apologize to you. I hope that you can forgive me.”
“Let’s forget about it. Although I don’t have a big heart, you are not villains too. You were just lied to by others.”
“Shen Lin wants to apologize to you. I’ll go and call him now.” Then, Huang Yu decided to go to Shen Lin’s room.
But, Mu Qiqi pursed her lips. “Grandpa, I still have some lessons after this. I’ll head back to the university now. He wants to apologize to me. But, it doesn’t mean that I’ll accept it.”
Actually, Shen Lin was hiding in the corner. He was right there when Rong Junhan and her daughter had arrived at the Shen family. He witnessed how Mu Qiqi had fought like a warrior god and defeated Rong Junhan. He was embarrassed because he finally realized that he was nothing if he was compared to an eighteen-year-old girl. So, he could not bring himself to appear in front of Mu Qiqi.
Then, he asked the lawyer to help him prepare the divorce agreement. He wanted to ask for compensation from Yu Jing for causing his emotional grievance.
Even Mu Qiqi understood one should never tolerate when it came to one’s belongings. Why should he continue to act like a coward?
The lawyer went to the Yu family the next day. He stated Shen Lin’s demands clearly. Yu Jing jumped out of her seat after she heard that. “Is he mad? I didn’t even ask him to compensate for the loss of my time.”
“Miss Yu, this depends on how the judge regards this case. If it’s proven that you did plot a sham marriage against Mr. Shen Lin, then he has every right to ask for compensation from you.”
“Get out…”
“Then, it means that we’ll meet at court.”
Mu Qiqi learned about this interesting event at noon. She exclaimed in her heart. Finally. Shen Lin knew how to fight back. Surely, he was just like how she was before. He would have a totally different life from now on as long as he started taking the first step.
After two days, they heard that Rong Junhan’s dance academy was wrecked.
No one knew about the details as to who did that and under what reason. They guessed that it might be the Shen family, especially Shen Lin. However, Mu Qiqi knew perfectly well what had happened. If Shen Lin was able to do such a thing, surely he would not wait until now.
So, she voiced her doubt to Sheng Xiao after she reached home. She wanted Sheng Xiao to help to lift her doubts.
A smile was seen on Sheng Xiao’s handsome face after he heard that. “Don’t you have any other more suitable candidates in your heart?”
“It’s not Grandpa or Shen Lin. Second Uncle and Second Aunt would never do such a thing. Third Uncle and Third Aunt have nothing to do with this. So, the remaining person is…him. Is it true?” Mu Qiqi counted the people off in her fingers. She asked Sheng Xiao then.
“You have the answer in your heart. Why did you want to ask me?” Sheng Xiao responded playfully, “Don’t tell me you don’t know that he’s a person who would take revenge for any wrong anybody has done to him.”
Mu Qiqi felt that what Sheng Xiao said was indeed logical. She nodded her head and said, “But, he couldn’t even speak a full sentence properly now.”
“That’s not important as long as he has money.”
Rong Junhan owed Shen Jianchuan. He would surely take revenge on her. If not, it was too unfair for himself.
“If this is true, my dad is just too cool!”
“How about me?”
“Of course you’re much more than that since he’s an old man now.”
Mu Qiqi sat down on Sheng Xiao’s legs. “Xiaoxiao, how come you’re jealous because of this?”
Sheng Xiao held Mu Qiqi’s hips and he was stunned for a while. Then, he said to Mu Qiqi seriously, “Your father is smart. That’s why you are witty too. Moreover, I’m afraid that we couldn’t conceal our relationship from him after he recovers fully.”
“What kind of ending do you want?” Mu Qiqi asked Sheng Xiao. It was because she did not know what to do given that the Sheng family was a powerful and influential family. She was unsure of how much she needed to achieve in order to be accepted by the Shen family. She did not even know whether Shen Jianchuan would approve their relationship or not.
Sheng Xiao was quiet for a second or two. Then, he hugged Mu Qiqi. “I’m not worried if your dad is against us. I’m just worried if he wants a duel with me.”
“Are you afraid of him?”
Sheng Xiao laughed. Then, he leaned forward and touched Mu Qiqi’s nose. “You said that before. He’s an old man now!”
Based on his observation, Shen Jianchuan adored his daughter deeply.
But, he would not act recklessly since Sheng Xiao and Qiqi had a different relationship now.
Moreover, Shen Jianchuan knew how things were in the Shen family. Surely, he wanted her daughter to enjoy freedom. All of this would happen if he got to learn about their secret relationship.
***
Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi guessed that Shen Jianchuan was the man behind it. It was true indeed.
It was only the first step, wrecking Rong Junhan’s dance academy. On the other hand, Papa Yu was just a fake painter who had no true talent and ability. He went against the laws and manipulated different kinds of tactics to raise his own reputation. All his reputation was bought by Rong Junhan’s money. So, it was rather easy if one wanted to ruin him.
It was true that Shen Jianchuan was lying in the sickbed the entire day. But, the nurse would always tell him all the gossip she had heard. Moreover, Grandpa Shen had found something through his investigation. So, Shen Jianchuan was able to find ways to tackle the three of them.
Grandpa Shen guessed that his eldest son was the one behind it too. So, he asked his son when the others were not around, “Did you order somebody to go and wreck her dance academy?”
“I can’t even move now.”
“Are you lying to me now? You still have your friends, right? What couldn’t you do if you contact them? Grandpa Shen winked at him. “How come you haven’t changed after all these years?”
Sheng Jianchuan denied no more. There was nothing to hide in front of his own father.
He could only reply with a deep and slow voice, “I’ve endured pain for more than ten years. I’ve even lost my youth. It’s only just the beginning, destroying her dance academy. I’ll surely force her to repay what she owes to me!”
Grandpa Shen nodded his head after he heard that. “Qiqi and I won’t bother about this. Don’t get her involved in this mess.”
“I won’t let her know.”
“Surely, she could guess the truth. She’s just like you. She’s quite witty!” Grandpa Shen sneered.
But, he seemed satisfied.
It was better to be witty than being bullied by the others.
On the other hand, Rong Junhan was the most furious person now. Her hard work for all these past years was ruined. She did not know how much she would lose. She knew that it was the Shen family but she did not know who was the one among them who did that to her. The most likely one who did that was Mu Qiqi. But, she felt like it was not how Mu Qiqi dealt with things.
It seemed to be… Shen Jianchuan from the past!
Suddenly, Rong Junhan felt that she had gone mad when she thought about Shen Jianchuan. How could she doubt a useless person who couldn’t even speak properly?
