Chapter 250: I Will Not Make Things Difficult for Her

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As they were ‘rehearsing’ their first wedding night in Jing Ting Villa, the Sheng family were having dinner in Sheng Mansion.

Sheng Xiao’s cousins were living abroad apart from the eldest and the sixth cousins, who were living in Jianchuan. Because of Sheng Xiao’s engagement, the fourth and the seventh cousins came back to Jianchuan in advance to attend the ceremony.

Although Papa Sheng was the eldest son, he had married after his siblings did. So, his three brothers had children first before Papa Sheng had Sheng Xiao. So, Sheng Xiao was the eighth child in his generation.

“Grandpa, according to our tradition, shouldn’t Sheng Xiao pay a visit to the cemetery to worship our ancestors before his engagement? And should we prepare a big gift for him?” Seventh Sister asked the old man.

Grandpa Sheng laughed and waved his hand. “Your sister-in-law is still young. So don’t bother about doing those stuff.”

Although he used Mu Qiqi’s age as the reason, his answer hinted to everyone in the Sheng family that Mu Qiqi was someone the ancestors needed not to know. So, it meant that Grandpa Sheng did not take her seriously at all.

So, it was unnecessary to inform their ancestors about her.

“Although we can skip the ancestral worship, we still have to send gifts,” Seventh Sister said to Mama Sheng.

When Fourth Sister saw this, she glanced at Mama Sheng. She knew things were difficult for her.

“And I will bring all my friends to the engagement ceremony. The more the merrier.”

Fourth Sister was not a nosy person. So, she waited until dinner was over and went to Mama Sheng’s room. “Eldest Aunt, from Grandpa’s action just now, I know he does not take the girl seriously. He does not even want to acknowledge her. And Seventh Sister is the one who can read Grandpa’s mind the best. Now that she said she wants to bring her friend to the ceremony, I am sure she must be thinking of bringing that best friend of hers. It is not a secret that she wants to introduce her best friend to Sheng Xiao. But knowing Sheng Xiao is getting engaged, isn’t her action too much? She does not respect you at all.”

Mama Sheng took a deep breath and laughed. “They are using Qiqi’s age as an excuse to simplify the ceremony. But before she joins the Sheng family, they are already taking advantage of her and using her for business.”

“Just tell me when you need my help. What does Sheng Xiao think about this?”

“If Seventh Sister dares to bring her friend to the engagement ceremony, Sheng Xiao will definitely not give her face. He told me yesterday that Qiqi is his life. Even I cannot touch her, let alone the other people?”

“Really? Did he really say that? Then I must get to know this little sister-in-law.” Fourth Sister showed great interest in meeting Mu Qiqi.

“You will be meeting her soon.”

Fourth Sister nodded and got out of Mama Sheng’s room. When she was walking in the direction of her room, she bumped into Jing Yun.

They exchanged glances. Then, Jing Yun quickly lowered his head and addressed her. “Miss.”

“Doing legwork for Sheng Xiao?”

“I am going back to my room to rest.”

“Have a good rest then. You must be tired after working for the whole day.” Then, Fourth Sister turned to the direction of her room again. But she was suddenly reminded of something, so she turned her head and looked at Jing Yun. “I want to see this little sister-in-law. Can you arrange it for me? You can tell Sheng Xiao about this. I will not make things difficult for her.”

“If there is still a kind person in this family, then you must be the one. I will tell Young Master about this.”

Fourth Sister nodded and went into her room. Jing Yun was barely able to calm himself down after a while. He put his hand on his chest. He could feel his heartbeat. After so many years, things were still the same. His heart would race every time he met Sheng Minglan. He knew why, but he could not tell her.

Because he was so good at hiding his feelings, so even Sheng Xiao had not discovered it.

At late night, Jing Yun informed Sheng Xiao about Sheng Minglan’s wish to meet Mu Qiqi. Sheng Xiao did not reject her request.

Because he knew who the kind or wicked ones were in the Sheng family.

Among the cousins, only Fourth Sister really cared about others. As for the rest, they were always thinking of taking advantage of other people.

“After Qi’er finishes her lectures tomorrow, I will bring her there.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Sheng Xiao hung up the phone and looked at Mu Qiqi beside her who was fast asleep. Seeing her sleeping soundly, he went to the study and looked down from the window. He wanted to find the best place to install the security system.

He did it all by himself. He did not want to hand it over to someone else.

There would be a lot of trouble coming to Qiqi after she joins the Sheng family. So, he had to protect her by all means.

…

On the other hand, Seventh Sister made a phone call to her best friend before going to bed. “Don’t worry, Hui Lan. Grandpa does not take that girl seriously. You still have a chance. And I asked him if I can bring a friend to the ceremony just now. He did not object. It means that he has not given up on looking for a good wife for Sheng Xiao. So, you should take the chance to meet with Grandpa more often. You should really come to the engagement ceremony. Then you will know how weak your opponent is. I mean it really. So it’s all set. You must come by then…”

It was right for her to see Mu Qiqi as a weak opponent. Because her birth was already a flaw. Even though she was the daughter of Shen Jianchuan, she was still not regarded as the rightful young lady of the Shen family. And now, she was just an undergraduate. Moreover, she majored in Forensic Science. She had nothing to be found likable by Grandpa Sheng. No wonder he was thinking that his grandson was just fooling around this time.

But, she had never thought about Mu Qiqi’s place in Sheng Xiao’s heart.

Most probably, she thought that Sheng Xiao could not have done anything to her best friend no matter how wicked he might be. As a matter of fact, it depended on whether she could embarrass Mu Qiqi during the engagement ceremony.

…

On the next day, Sheng Xiao picked up Mu Qiqi from school and headed to the hotel.

When Mu Qiqi realized that it was not the route to the villa, she asked, “Where are we going this time?”

“You are going to meet someone.”

“You should have told me earlier. I have not mentally prepared to meet someone yet.” Mu Qkqi glared at him.

“You don’t have to when you meet this person.” Sheng Xiao stopped the car in front of the hotel and got out of the car with Mu Qiqi.

When they entered the private room of the hotel restaurant, Mu Qiqi relaxed when she saw there was only a lady sitting at the table.

Fourth Sister knew a big table would increase the social distance and make people feel alienated, so she asked the waiter to change to a smaller table. After all, there were only three of them.

When Fourth Sister saw them, she immediately stood up and said, “This must be the sister-in-law that makes Sheng Xiao cause a big scene in the family.”

“This is Fourth Sister. You can get along with her.”

“Look at you…”
