“That is why I’m bringing you to the business gathering in a few days!”


  “I know that, Xiao Xiao… but can’t you do something to Feng Shanshan’s scumbag ex? He actually challenged me! He even said I destroyed you!” Mu Qiqi was irritated even thinking about it.

  In the past, Duan Shao’an got his just desserts because Lu Qianqian was born to a rich family capable of crushing the Duan family.

  On the other hand, Feng Shanshan was worrying—both in terms of intelligence and emotional quotient. Even if she was well-connected at school, what good was that now?

  “Since when did you become so close to Feng Shanshan?”


  “I had the feeling that we could use her eventually, and sow some disinformation on Old Sheng.”


  Sheng Xiao did not buy her nonsense, but he decided he would definitely settle the score in Mu Qiqi’s stead.

  After all, that scumbag did piss off his Qi’er.

  ***

  Feng Shanshan had assumed that after she had bothered Mu Qiqi for so long, she would definitely tell everyone about her unmarried pregnancy and miscarriage. However, she realized when she got to school that Mu Qiqi was not interested in that at all.

  In the end, she was measuring the heart of a gentleman with her own horrible standards.

  As she remembered the things that she had gone through, Mu Qiqi in the end proved to be the one who had treated her best.

  Nonetheless, she would continue to follow-up her business with the Sheng family. After helping Old Sheng keep an eye on Mu qiqi for so long, she felt that she did not have to give up on the old man’s money, although whatever she told the old man counted.

  In the very least, she was really disgusted now by Sheng Kai and his wife.

  From Sheng Kai’s perspective, however, it was a rare chance for him to accompany Gu Ziling.

  He was certainly displeased that Feng Shanshan and that scumbag rich kid ruined the evening, but it was fortunate that he and his wife were in sync as always in the sheets. Indeed, he was relieved that Gu Ziling was not upset over the trouble at the hotel.

  Moreover, Gu Ziling rarely caused trouble over the last six months as she became his single-minded wife, helping him manage all of the Sheng family. It would be impossible if her heart was not moved.

  Still, the child they were looking forward to never came, and Sheng Kai became a little worried.

  ***

  As Sheng Kai arrived at the breakfast table the next morning with healthily flushed cheeks, he told Old Sheng when he saw the old man having tea at the main chair, “Grandfather, Ziling and I ran into the girl you often meet at Empire last night. It seems that she was arguing with her boyfriend over a breakup and her personality was just the worst. Are you sure she is reliable?”


  The old man looked up to give him a look and coldly said, “What does that have to do with you? You just have to keep Huang Yao together. And you don’t have to worry about her personality as long as she is Mu Qiqi’s enemy.”


  Sheng Kai nodded at those words. “True.”


  “And try to get home early, so that Ziling has company.”


  Was the old man not urging them to have a child again?

  Nonetheless, Sheng Kai replied, “Understood, Grandfather. That said, after you had that girl watch Mu Qiqi for so long, has there been any word on Eighth Brother?”


  Rage promptly showed up on the old man’s face at the mention of ‘Eighth Brother’.

  After all, the words ‘Sheng Xiao’ and ‘Eighth Brother’ were forbidden in the Sheng family.

  Not daring to ask more, Sheng Kai quietly had his breakfast.

  Soon, Third Brother came downstairs, and appeared to be drowsy.

  “Please look around for a good girl at the business gathering in two days. You’re not young and yet still single—can’t you feel shame?”


  “We’re not aiming for Zhongteng anymore?” Third Brother asked sarcastically.

  “Why do I have a grandson like you?”


  Third Brother pursed his lips but said nothing. Though conflicts in the family had receded since Sheng Xiao left, that was mainly because of Third Brother’s strong survival instincts and how good he was at smoothing things over.

  Be that as it may, he knew that this peace was temporary.

  The family was going to blow up again following the business gathering!

  ***

  Following the drama between Feng Shanshan and her scumbag ex at Empire a few days ago, the scumbag had dumped all her things outside his house, and deliberately called her to get her things.

  In truth, he had every intention of humiliating her.

  After all, Feng Shanshan had made him suffer all sorts of mockery in public.

  The pretty girl he had been dating then had ignored him completely too.

  Feng Shanshan was at the forensics lab when she got his call, and found Mu Qiqi looking at her when she hung up. “Is it a habit of yours to listen in on others’ conversation?”


  “I really don’t get why would you save that scumbag’s number in your phone.” Mu Qiqi said, shaking her head and folding her arms. “And could you be so stupid that you would care about those things?”


  “I don’t think those things are important, but the only photo my parents took together is in my suitcase. I have to get it back.” Feng Shanshan replied.

  “He is not kind enough to let you get it back. I would have just dumped it if it was me… isn’t it clear why that scumbag is doing all that?”


  “It doesn’t have anything to do with you.”


  With that, Feng Shanshan took off her lab coat and left the forensics lab.

  Mu Qiqi certainly would not try to curry favor where there was none. Still, she gave Sheng Xiao a phone call even if she felt that it was a little waste of his time.

  Xu Che received his orders from Sheng Xiao in no time at all and contacted the scumbag’s parents.

  In the end, the rich kid of a small businessman was too easy.

  ***

  Having returned her car to the scumbag, Feng Shanshan hailed a cab to reach the scumbag’s mansion.

  Once he saw her arrive, he pointed at a rubbish bin nearby and said, “I’ve dumped your stuff in there. You want it? Get it yourself.”


  Feng Shanshan knew that she would be humiliated like that, and admitted to herself that she was past being patient with that scumbag.

  That was why she went to the rubbish bin without a word and began to scrounge through it for that photo.

  However, just as her entire body started to smell, the scumbag took out the photo from his pocket and asked her, “Looking for this?”


  Feng Shanshan’s eyes finally went red when she saw the photo in his hand.

  “Give it back.”


  “I knew you care about your parents. It’s such a pity there’s no use keeping this photo since they have their own families now… why not let me tear it apart for you?”


  With those words, the scumbag tore the photo in two.

  “How many years had we been together? Why do you have to do this to me?” Feng Shanshan asked with a quivering voice.

  “And why did you cling to me?” The scumbag sat in his garden looking relaxed. “I’ve paid you damages, but you still acted shamelessly.”
