Chapter 221: Don’t You Like Sheng Xiao?

Grandpa Shen had punished Shen Ruoyi to the extent of her having to be admitted to the hospital. After she returned home, she would be grounded for a month. Grandpa Shen was serious this time. He was not joking.

Clearly, he was quite furious.

Cen Suyun was taking care of Shen Ruoyi beside her. She trembled all over when she saw her daughter’s plight. “That old bastard has no mercy. How could he treat you like this? Just you wait and see. Certainly, he would never do such a thing to Mu Qiqi if she ever does anything wrong.”

“Mom…I want to give up now. I’m shameful in front of the Sheng family.” Shen Ruoyi was on the sick bed as she said weakly to Cen Suyun.

“Daughter, don’t you like Sheng Xiao?”

Shen Ruoyi could not hold herself back. She told her mother everything which she has seen and heard in Huang Yao. Cen Suyun opened her eyes widely after she heard about those rumors. She could not believe everything she heard.

“Did you see it with your own eyes?”

Shen Ruoyi nodded her head. “I misjudged him. I thought that he was a gentleman. I didn’t know that…”

Cen Suyun was so shocked that she could only recover herself after a long while. “If whatever you say is true, Sheng Xiao is truly a cruel man. It’s definitely a good thing since you saw through him early. Although wealth is important, my daughter’s life is more important.

“If Sheng Xiao is that absurd, how could the Sheng family be so proud of him? How could they come to the Shen family and show such an attitude?”

“Mom…”

“That’s enough. Let’s not talk about it. I’ll ask your uncle to look for an outstanding and handsome youth for you in the future. By the way, what do you think about the young master from the Lin family?” Cen Suyun felt that it was hopeless now if they wanted to get near to the Sheng family. So, she turned her attention to Lin Mu’an. “The kid from the Lin family is better than Sheng Xiao. Moreover, he is innocent and naive. He would never play around with women secretly.”

“If you like him, I’ll try to befriend him.”

Shen Ruoyi just wanted to make use of somebody so that she could forget about Sheng Xiao. Lin Mu’an seemed like a good choice now.

“Are you serious? My daughter has regained her senses now. This is indeed a good thing…”

But she was certainly in the dark, she should never place too much hope on either Sheng Xiao or Lin Mu’an.

Sheng Xiao had succeeded in getting rid of Shen Ruoyi although he had used some terrible tactics. He was just like a demon to Shen Ruoyi now. But, it was just what he wished for since she became afraid of him.

“But, Grandpa Shen wants Mu Qiqi to have the young master from the Lin family instead. We need to think about something now. We need to let Mu Qiqi lose her status in the Shen family.”

Shen Ruoyi remembered something else when they talked about it. She went to the small mansion to visit Mu Qiqi with Grandpa Shen after the birthday party at the Lin family the other day. At that time, she was suspicious about Mu Qiqi. She felt that Mu Qiqi was not there in the small mansion and Mu Qiqi’s aunt was covering up for her.

“Mom, we shouldn’t be waiting around for Mu Qiqi to do something to us. We need to take the initiative too. I’ve always felt that Mu Qiqi is hiding something from us. So, you better go and look into it.”

“How? She’s under the Sheng family’s protection.”

“It’s not that complicated. You can go and observe Mu Qiqi’s aunt in the small mansion. Certainly, you can find something against her.”

Grandpa Shen would be disappointed in Mu Qiqi as long as they could find any indication that Mu Qiqi had lied to Grandpa Shen. Then, they would make use of that chance to kick Mu Qiqi out of the Shen family. It would all be taken care of properly.

“Good. I’ll go and make the proper arrangements since you said so.” Cen Suyun listened to her daughter. “I hope that God will be on our sides this time around so that we could find something against that bitch!”

Grandpa Shen was still upset regarding what had happened with Shen Ruoyi.

He had his own stand in this kind of thing. He could not endure the fact that a junior had thoughts of being with a senior in the family. He could not abandon those kinds of thoughts. Seniors should never be with the juniors. What about propriety? Moreover, he was indeed humiliated since Shen Ruoyi had committed such a shameful deed.

So, Grandpa Shen was having a difficult time at home. He could not eat properly these past few days. At last, he even ran a fever. His old body could not take that and he fell sick in bed.

Mu Qiqi heard about that. She went to visit Grandpa Shen after her lessons. She saw that Grandpa Shen was just like an old child. So, she took the bowl of porridge from Huang Yu and started feeding Grandpa Shen. “Grandpa, you don’t have to trouble yourself like this.”

“How could I face the Sheng family from now on?” Grandpa Shen could not bring himself to reconcile with the incident which had happened. He was upset.

“Grandpa, you should take good care of your health. Dad is feeling better now. Do you want to fall sick yourself?” Mu Qiqi advised him. “Moreover, Sister Ruoyi is hurt too and she’s in the hospital now. She had learned her lesson.”

“Qiqi, I won’t hold any hope toward Shen Ruoyi from now on. I just wish that you won’t disappoint me.”

“Grandpa, don’t give me too much pressure. You know that I’m much more reckless than Sister Ruoyi.” Then, Mu Qiqi helped Grandpa Shen to sit up. He started to eat the porridge obediently.

“You’re much more useful than any of us. The others came to persuade him but he would not listen.”

“Second Aunt, Grandpa would come to his senses one day.”

Mu Qiqi planned to leave the Shen residence after Grandpa Shen had fallen asleep. But, she bumped into Cen Suyun who had just returned from the hospital. They were not pleased when they met each other, as though they were sworn enemies.

“Mu Qiqi, don’t be so smug about yourself. What goes around comes around.”

Mu Qiqi said nothing. She left the Shen residence directly. It was because she knew that she would face that kind of thing one day. That day was yet to come. Moreover, she just hoped that Grandpa Shen could be healthy and he would not refuse to take his meals because of her.

Cen Suyun laughed icily as she saw Mu Qiqi leaving the Shen residence. Now, she needed to hire somebody to observe the small mansion. She wanted to stalk Su Zipei so that she could find something against Mu Qiqi.

For Mu Qiqi, it was a heartbreaking experience whenever she returned to the Shen residence and saw how sad Grandpa Shen was.

But, she was not afraid of this kind of hardship. It was because she was holding onto her beliefs firmly.

It was just like what Xiaoxiao had said before. She would surely persist in her efforts no matter how difficult it was. Even though she could not see her future, she would try her best. So, she became much calmer after she had such feelings.

But, Shen Ruoyi and her mother had now turned their attention to Lin Mu’an.

That was also the first time Cen Suyun went to Grandpa Shen’s room calmly after what had happened recently. She spoke to him calmly.

“I know that you don’t want to meet me now. But, I’ll leave after I say whatever I want to say to you.”

Grandpa Shen was so angry that he turned away from Cen Suyun directly.

“Dad, Ruoyi told me that she has regained her senses. But, she is still sad now. So, I would like you to help her this time. Let her be with the young master from the Lin family. Ruoyi needs the Lin family more than Qiqi, isn’t it? I hope that you’ll consider it properly for Ruoyi’s future and the Shen family’s sake.”
