  Qianqian had taken her first step. So, it was her turn now.

  Although they were facing different problems, the scums they met were the same. They were rubbish.

  Thinking of that, Mu Qiqi was very much looking forward to seeing how it turned out when she went to Shen Mansion.

  Soon, Mu Qiqi finished her last class and left the school. At the school gate, she found Sheng Xiao’s car. She got into the car excitedly and recounted Qianqian’s encounter with Bai Xinlan to Sheng Xiao. “Qianqian looks like her old self now. She does not ruin herself because of a scum.”


  “Grandpa Shen is at Sheng Mansion.”


  “Huh?” Mu Qiqi did not get what Sheng Xiao said.

  “Your grandfather is having a nice teatime at Sheng residence. He came back to Jianchuan this morning. But when he heard that Rong Junhan is asking you to go to Shen Mansion, he decided not to go home in a hurry.” Sheng Xiao explained. “There is going to be a big drama soon.”


  “Are you suspecting that my grandfather’s trip to visit his friend was an excuse to leave the house? He is actually testing Rong Junhan to see if she’ll cause me trouble?”


  “Both are true.” Sheng Xiao chuckled. “This is going to be fun.”


  “Then I can look forward to it even more.” Mu Qiqi hugged Sheng Xiao’s arm and gave him a kiss on his cheek. “Let’s go for dinner first. I need a lot of energy to argue with those people later.”


  Sheng Xiao kissed Mu Qiqi’s head and brought her back to the mansion for a hearty dinner.

  Before Mu Qiqi left the mansion, Su Zipei reminded her. “Don’t go too far and make the situation ugly.”


  “Aunt, Rong Junhan is the one who is hiding Mu Tangxue.”


  “Did anyone ask you to be friendly toward her? I mean the other Shens.”


  Mu Qiqi grinned as she heard what Su Zipei had said. “Don’t worry. I know what I should do.”


  Then, Mu Qiqi got into Sheng Xiao’s car. She suddenly realized that there was another person in the car. And Sheng Xiao was sitting in the back seat.

  “I let Jing Yun drive to avoid being photographed.”


  “You will still be photographed when you are sitting at the back. If you are worried, just say it.”


  Sheng Xiao slanted his head and looked at Mu Qiqi. “Shut up.”


  Mu Qiqi did not provoke him anymore. There were many times when Sheng Xiao used all kinds of excuses to be with her because he was worried about her. For instance, he once said that his car broke down just to share a ride with her.

  Mu Qiqi still remembered it clearly.

  “Remember to control yourself after you get in. If they hurt you, call me immediately.”


  “Yes.” Mu Qiqi nodded.

  Why should she be scared when she had such a heart-warming lover?

  Soon after, their car stopped in front of Shen Mansion. Mu Qiqi got out of the car and stood in front of the huge iron gate. She asked Jing Yun to stay with Sheng Xiao.

  Right after Mu Qiqi got out of the car, Jing Yun turned his head around and said, “Young Master, things have been figured out.”


  Mu Qiqi did not realise that when Jing Yun was back, it meant that the investigation of the case of her father’s injuries was completed. She was too busy to think about that now.

  But when Sheng Xiao heard what he said, he sat up straight and looked at Jing Yun. “Cut to the chase.”


  “The old dean is dead. So, I thought that I might not be able to continue the investigation with this clue. But I found out that the daughter-in-law of the old dean was involved in the case. According to her confession, she saw a woman come to the old dean. But she was not a Rong.”


  “Names can be easily faked! We will talk about it later.” Sheng Xiao knew the investigation would be difficult. After all, it was too long ago. Time had given Rong Junhan chances to cover up the loopholes. Years had gone by and she must have almost covered up the traces.

  But there must be evidence left behind if the incident was planned. So, he must keep on investigating.

  …


  When Mu Qiqi got into Shen Mansion, the Shens looked as if they had been waiting for quite some time. They sat on the couches. On the left side, she saw Third Uncle and his wife. And on the right side, she saw Second Uncle and his wife. Rong Junhan was sitting in the main seat. Wasn’t it a trial? It was only Aunt Libing who was not there.

  “Have you eaten, Qiqi?” Rong Junhan asked indifferently when she saw Mu Qiqi.

  “Yes, I have.”


  “We haven’t even eaten just to wait for you!” Rong Junhan said angrily. She tried to control her anger. “All the elders were waiting for you. Don’t you think you have to apologize?”


  “Apologize?” Mu Qiqi was stunned. She made an innocent face. “First, Aunt Rong, you asked me to come for dinner, but you did not tell me the time. Also, I came just a bit late because I have so many assignments and experiments to be done. Do you really have to embarrass me because of this? I wonder if you are purposely starving yourself just to get the chance to teach me a lesson?”


  “Mu Qiqi!” Rong Junhan seemed enraged. “We don’t care how you behave in the Mu family. You can be rude there, but you are now in the Shen family!”


  “When you are in the Shen family, you must abide by the family rules. Since the day you appear in the family, you have already disgraced the family name. The elders have become a laughing stock all because of you. Don’t you think you need to learn your lesson?”


  “What did I do wrong to make people gossip about you?” Mu Qiqi asked.

  “You still have the cheek to ask.” Rong Junhan banged her fist on the table angrily. “You are very close to Young Lady Lu who was pregnant before getting married. The outsiders are saying that both of you are dirty.”


  “They were engaged!” Mu Qiqi declared. “What does it mean by us being dirty?”


  “This incident had caused great humiliation to the Shen family. And you are still acting proud and arrogant here. You don’t respect your elders. You are indeed a stubborn one!” Rong Junhan pointed her finger at Mu Qiqi and yelled, “Kneel!”


  “Grandpa is not here so you can act like the head of the family already?” Mu Qiqi sneered.

  “What’s wrong with that? Eldest Sister is going to marry Eldest Brother soon. Are you not convinced that she has the power to make you kneel?” Huang Yu who was sitting at the side rolled her eyes and asked Mu Qiqi.

  “They are not married yet. Isn’t it too early to say that she is in charge?”


  The Mu Qiqi now was brave enough to fight back when there was an argument. She had even watched some gangster movies to learn the bold tone they used in an argument. Now she could handle such situations thanks to the confidence she had gotten from Sheng Xiao.

  Rong Junhan had prepared for this. Seeing Mu Qiqi refuse to obey her, she signalled the two thugs she had hired. They walked toward Mu Qiqi. They wanted to grab her arms on each side and pin her to the floor.

  But Mu Qiqi discovered them already. She turned around and pointed at the thugs and said, “Human rights are highly regarded now. if you dare to touch me, I will sue you.”


  “Don’t listen to her nonsense. She is just a child.”


  The men did not listen to Mu Qiqi and reached out their hands. They grabbed her arms and forced her to kneel. But Mu Qiqi resisted.

  “Qiqi, I am doing this today for your sake. The Shen family is not a place you can misbehave. The elders work hard to keep this family in order. So, I don’t care if you think this is wrong, I must punish you.” Rong Junhan had really taken up her role as her stepmother and demanded it.

  “You said it so nicely, but you are actually venting your anger. What era is it now? Do we still punish people like this?” Mu Qiqi sneered. Should Grandpa be at the door already?

  “I think you are the kind of person who won’t cry until you see the coffin…”
