Grandpa Shen also felt suspicious of Shen Ruoyi’s attitude toward Mu Qiqi. She was being too friendly.

“Qiqi, you don’t have to be nervous at the banquet. They are all my comrades. They will not make things difficult for you.”

“I know, Grandpa.”

After all, she was used to being talked about. She easily became the topic of the gossip now because people knew that she and her twin sister had different fathers. People could get curious. She wouldn’t mind. But once they went overboard, she would take action.

“I will make sure Qiqi is within my sight all the time!” Shen Ruoyi said caringly.

Grandpa Shen was very satisfied with his two granddaughters. One was good in arts and another one was good in logic. They were both good descendants of the Shen family, and they had won glory for the Shen family.

In just a short time, their car stopped in front of the hotel where the party was being held at. A hotel hostess greeted Mu Qiqi and helped her to get out of the car.

Old Lin, the one whose birthday was being celebrated today, stood at the entrance. He looked handsome in a white suit. When he saw his old friend, he quickly walked forward and welcomed them.

“He is Grandpa Lin. Follow my lead.” Shen Ruoyi reminded Mu Qiqi.

Mu Qiqi nodded and followed behind Shen Ruoyi and Grandpa Shen.

“Ruoyi is becoming prettier nowadays.” Grandpa Lin smiled at Shen Ruoyi. Then, he looked at Mu Qiqi. He seemed impressed. Then, he looked at Grandpa Shen. “She really is Jianchuan’s daughter. She has spirit.”

“She is just a young girl. She still needs to rely on the elders like you.”

“Come in!”

After a short greeting, the three entered the banquet hall.

The hall was lavishly decorated. And most of the guests came in their military suits. Mu Qiqi could now understand why Third Aunt did not want her to get the limelight.

Mu Qiqi looked at Shen Ruoyi. She was moving around in the hall, greeting the other guests. She knew them well, so she was quite relaxed on this occasion.

“Hey, Ruoyi, is that your sister with a different surname?”

A woman dressed in red stopped by and asked Shen Ruoyi about Mu Qiqi.

“Yes, she is.” Shen Ruoyi greeted her politely. She told Mu Qiqi that she was Aunt Yao.

“Hello, Aunt Yao.”

Aunt Yao responded to Mu Qiqi with a smirk and a nod. She looked at her intensely. Mu Qiqi felt awkward and she almost choked.

Then, the woman walked away. Shen Ruoyi turned her head and looked at Mu Qiqi. “You should keep a distance from her. She likes to gossip.”

Indeed, she was. She was already chatting with other people. Their eyes fixed on Mu Qiqi occasionally.

Grandpa Shen greeted everyone he knew as he was walking into the hall. So, Mu Qiqi could only stay with Shen Ruoyi for now.

The elders mingled around themselves while the younger ones stayed on the other side. So, Shen Ruoyi led Mu Qiqi to the spot where all the young masters and young ladies gathered.

“Ruoyi, is she your sister?” A few young adults were standing there. They were either eighteen or nineteen, but they showed high confidence. People would know they were not commoners just by taking a glance at them.

Shen Ruoyi looked at Mu Qiqi and nodded. “Yes, she is my sister.”

The one who spoke did not ask anything more. He turned to his friends and said, “Have you heard about her birth? It is rather bizarre…”

Shen Ruoyi was stunned and looked at Mu Qiqi.

Mu Qiqi did not show much reaction. She knew it would come.

“I heard that her mother slept with two men. That was why the twins have separate fathers.”

“I heard from my mother that Young Master Shen was quite wild when he was young. I heard that he had a unique taste in women. I don’t expect that his taste would be so bizarre.”

Knowing these people did not mean well, Shen Ruoyi brought Mu Qiqi away. “Don’t listen to them. They all grew up in military families, spoiled and lawless. They do not empathize with people. They just like to have fun on their own.”

“Then I shall embarrass them back.” Mu Qiqi shook off her hand from Shen Ruoyi’s grip and returned to the spot where the five were standing.

“Qiqi…” Shen Ruoyi was getting anxious. She was worried that Mu Qiqi would become a joke. But, why would Mu Qiqi bear with the humiliation?

She asked them directly. “Do you think my birth is cool?”

They did not expect that Mu Qiqi would come to them and ask for trouble. They stared at Mu Qiqi, thinking that she was an interesting one.

“We are thinking how shameless you are to come here! Don’t you think your birth is embarrassing?”

“I don’t think so,” said Mu Qiqi calmly. She did not look down on herself.

“It’s getting rather interesting. Do you know that half of the people in this hall are talking about you?” A boy in a white suit said, “If I were you, I would already go hiding in a hole somewhere. How shameless you are!”

“So, what is your parent’s role that he is invited to this banquet tonight?”

“He is the major general of the army with great achievements.” He said proudly.

“A major general. Is raising a shameless boy who bad-mouths people behind their backs and bullies other people all that he can do?” Mu Qiqi refuted. “What’s wrong with my birth? Does it bother you in any way? The education of the family of a major general does not seem to be good at all.”

“You…”

“There is one more thing I want to ask. Do you have any achievement in your life? You are already eighteen or nineteen, but fooling around and playing are all that you know?”

When the boy was asked about his weakness, he began to stutter. “I… I can…”

“I know what you can do. You can gossip!”

“You all look like you are good friends. So, it would be reasonable for me to believe that you like to do the same. Do you think you deserve my respect? Don’t be too full of yourselves.”

The friends’ faces were red with anger. However their parents were present, so they did not dare to act recklessly.

But Mu Qiqi was different. It was her first time. She would be forgiven even if she had done anything wrong for the first time.

Shen Ruoyi did not dare to breathe when Mu Qiqi was arguing with those people. She was afraid that Mu Qiqi might blurt out some rude words and embarrass the Shen family.

“Qiqi, don’t mind these people. We can just stay away from them. They are all young masters from powerful families. They might cause you trouble.”

“Let them.” Mu Qiqi was fearless. She would not endure being bullied. She was different now.

Grandpa Shen saw the faces of the sisters and knew something happened. He left his comrades behind and came to them. “What happened? Why do you look so awful?”
