“This girl is good but she has too many thoughts.” Cen Suyun reminded Mama Sheng. “She likes creating trouble. Sometimes, I love and hate her at the same time! If she were as gentle and sensible as Ruoyi, surely everyone would be relieved.”
Grandpa Shen was about to burst into a fury after he heard what Cen Suyun had said. But, Mama Sheng smiled and said to Grandpa Shen, “Children should be different from one another. If they are the same, it’ll definitely be problematic.”
“Let’s go to the dining room now. We’ll chat while we eat.” Huang Yu saw that Grandpa Shen was annoyed. She soon said to Mama Sheng warmly.
“Fine. Qiqi, sit beside me.”
Mu Qiqi remained quiet but she felt calmer now. Xiaoxiao understood his mother well. So, she should trust him.
Cen Suyun did not succeed in creating conflict between them. She looked at Shen Ruoyi.
At the same time, Shen Ruoyi disliked her own mother because she always twisted the facts around anywhere and at any time.
Soon, everyone took their seats at the dining table. Mama Sheng sat beside Mu Qiqi. She could not help but ask Mu Qiqi, “I heard that you’re majoring in Forensic Science. Why did you choose such a job given that you’re a girl?”
“I was accused as the perpetrator when my grandma passed away. Nobody defended me and no one said anything for Grandma at that time. Since then, I felt that maybe there are a lot of people like that who’ll encounter such moments in this world. So, I choose to go for Forensic Science.” Mu Qiqi replied honestly.
“I heard about it too. Your younger sister…”
“Her younger sister is having a miserable life now!” Cen Suyun interrupted them. “Although your sister is wicked and accused you wrongly, you took revenge on her still. Didn’t you, Qiqi? Now, that kid always goes starving.”
“No one will think that you’re dumb if you keep quiet!” Grandpa Shen could not hold himself back anymore. He scolded Cen Suyun. “Xiao Qin came to meet Qiqi. Why are you so unhappy about it? Why must you create conflict here in front of everybody, especially when I’m around? Do you think that I’m dead?”
Grandpa Shen was infuriated. But, Cen Suyun was not frightened. She smiled and said, “I’m just speaking the truth. I think that both the Shen and Sheng families should be careful since we don’t know how people really are.”
“Third Aunt…”

Mu Qiqi could not listen to her anymore. She wanted to retort but she was stopped by Mama Sheng. Mama Sheng squeezed Qiqi’s hand and turned to look at Cen Suyun. “That’s a good point. We don’t know how people really are. Actually, I don’t want to create any conflict since it’s against my better judgment. But, Suyun, it seems like you don’t know how to behave yourself now. Let’s not talk about Qiqi first. You came to the Sheng family intentionally and you condemned Qiqi. It appears like you’re the one who is wrong here.”
Cen Suyun never thought that Mama Sheng would be on Mu Qiqi’s side when she spoke.
“Surely, I’m able to investigate the things you told me. Do I ever need you to tell me about them?
“You claimed that you told me those things because you’re afraid that I might be cheated. My son is here in Jianchuan for so many years now. Whoever succeeded in lying to him? He believes in Qiqi and it’s a good enough proof for Qiqi’s good behavior and conduct. Why should I doubt my son and believe you?”
“I…”
“Do you think that everyone will fall into the trap easily when they were instigated, just like you? We’re having a meal in the Shen family now and I should never speak so much because it’s not in my place to do so. But, I’m considered as your elder and you as Qiqi’s. Tell me. What did you do or what did you say was considered appropriate given your identity and status?”
Cen Suyun’s facial expression became slightly worse. It was because Mama Sheng sounded rather harsh now.
“You told me how Qiqi treated you and bullied you. From what I see now, you create conflict and bring bad things up. It doesn’t look like you’re the one who is being bullied here.”
Cen Suyun clenched her fists tightly after she listened to that. She became slightly angry now. “I had good intentions telling you those things, why should I be criticized for that?”
“You should know how to behave yourself.” Mama Sheng then turned to look at Grandpa Shen. “Old Mr. Shen, don’t blame me for speaking harshly today.”
Grandpa Shen waved his hands. “It’s just kind of embarrassing. I didn’t teach her well.”
Mama Sheng stopped commenting on Cen Suyun. She turned to look at Mu Qiqi and said, “If you’re bullied like this in the future, you can tell Jing Yun. As your beautiful aunt, I’ll definitely help you!”
“Alright.” Mu Qiqi nodded her head.
Cen Suyun was outraged. But, she could do nothing except glare at Mu Qiqi in fury.
“What a disgrace! Go excuse yourself now.” Grandpa Shen did not want Cen Suyun lingering at the dining table anymore for fear that she would annoy the others. So, he asked her to leave.
Cen Suyun was both angry and ashamed. She left the dining room.
Shen Ruoyi sat at the side without making any response. She kept quiet because she felt that her mother had humiliated her. If she said anything now, it would only be annoying to them.
It seemed useless now given that she had dressed up nicely. She blamed her mother for creating strife here. Moreover, her mother was unable to keep her mouth shut.
“I never thought that Third Aunt would go to another’s house and condemn somebody. It’s so humiliating.”
Mama Sheng could understand it. It seemed that no one was wrong when she tried to put herself in others’ shoes.
“Old Mr. Shen, Qiqi is protected by Sheng Xiao. So, as his mother, I’ll not trouble my son. Surely, I’ll help to take care of her too.
“But, I should never say much about the things that happened in the Shen family given that I’m just an outsider. So, I’ll not say much if Cen Suyun didn’t come to the Sheng family first.
“Qiqi saved Sheng Xiao before and we’re indebted to her because of that. So, just tell us if you need us no matter what happens in the future, we’ll help Qiqi if she faces any trouble.”
Grandpa Shen smiled after he heard that. “Who dares to bully her given that the Sheng family is on her side. She’s a witty girl. But, she remains quiet now because she knows that her patron came today.”
“Grandpa…”
“Fine, I’ll stop teasing you.” Grandpa Shen waved his hands and said to Mama Sheng. “Please eat more. If you’d like to meet Qiqi, you can invite her to the Sheng family in the future. You don’t have to be so polite.”
Mama Sheng smiled too. She seemed just like a strong iron lady.
Mu Qiqi looked at Xiaoxiao’s mother beside her. She felt that Mama Sheng was a strange but powerful woman given that she had a son like Xiaoxiao.
During the banquet, no one bothered about Shen Ruoyi. She was just like a puff of smoke.
