When Jing Yun had completed his task, he went back to Huang Yao. Then, he told Sheng Xiao about Grandpa Shens response.

He will definitely investigate again, Sheng Xiao said to Jing Yun. Let him be. Just conceal the relationship between Qiqi and me. He can look up everything else.

Youre always so low profile. He might not be able to look into it. Then, how about Mu Tangxue?

You dont have to worry about that. Your task concerns only Grandpa Shen.

***

Papa Mu was having a bad time after being kicked out of Mu Group and tried to contact his business friends. However, who would befriend him given that he was no longer related to Mu Group? Hence, he could only numb his pain through alcohol. Mu Tangxue could only stay away from him when she saw that.

Mu Tangxue would only hide in her bedroom if Grandpa Mu was not around. But, Papa Mu had no place to vent his anger. He could only bang on Mu Tangxues door repeatedly when he was drunk.

Mu Tangxue was frightened. She was filled with hatred. Papa Mu continued to suppress her and she had no choice but to endure all of it.

After a while, Papa Mu stopped banging her bedroom door. Mu Tangxue thought that he had left. When she opened the door, Papa Mu stretched his hand out suddenly and grabbed her. Got youNow, where are you going to run away to?

Dad, let me go. Youre hurting me.

Let you go? Then, who let me go? Papa Mu stared at Mu Tangxue. He dragged her to the living room. Didnt you tell me that youll settle my divorce with your mom. Youll resolve it. You asked me not to worry about it. But, whats the result?

I planned to hurt Mom only. Im not as cruel as you. I didnt want her dead! Mu Tangxue shouted loudly. Dont think that Im unaware of it. I wanted to go and save Mom that time. But, you asked somebody to lock me up in my bedroom. Youre the main culprit! Its you who killed mom!

Mu Tangxue became so nervous that she screamed her heart out. She said what she wanted to say.

But, it angered Papa Mu at the same time. He grabbed both of Mu Tangxues arms. Then, he shook her vigorously. How could you say that to me? Why dont you admit that you were the one who killed your grandma?

Mu Tangxue paled the minute she heard that. I didnt!

No? Your elder sister was always wronged because of you since youre young. If Im unclear about it, surely you know about it very well. Xueer, I was forced to sacrifice Mu Qiqi that time. But, it didnt mean that Im unaware of it.

I really didnt

Dont you remember that I was the one who brought the two of you home to visit your grandpa and grandma? I went to the room to look for you when it was the time to leave. But, I saw with my own eyes that you wanted so badly to feed your grandma the medicine because you wanted to impress the others. Moreover, it seemed that everybody had overlooked a very important point. Grandma didnt even allow Mu Qiqi to get near her. How would she allow her to feed her the medicine?

II

Xueer, youre just like me. Do you think that theres a need for you to cover up in front of me?

Papa Mu laughed coldly. Its a pity indeed. Youre not as lucky as your elder sister. You wont be able to be a true young lady from a rich family for the rest of your life.

So what? Grandpa will still love me and adore me, isnt it? Mu Tangxue argued with him. At last, she chose to be frank with him.

Love you? Will he still adore you if he knows about this? What do you think? But I wont tell him the truth since he abandoned me. Why would I let him know about the truth? Papa Mu released her arms after that. Well always fight each other to the death. Thats a true family!

Mu Tangxue fell down and sat on the floor. She took deep breaths. It hurt. But, she did not admit defeat. Im still young. We have a lot of time!

***

At the small mansion at night.

Sheng Xiao told Su Zipei that they had communicated with Grandpa Shen. Mu Qiqi was also present that time.

But, she seemed surprisingly calm. Su Zipei was surprised at that. It was indeed a mess. Qiqis birth was so complicated but she did not seem at all grieved.

If thats the case, Ill bring along a different DNA report to go and meet Mr. Mu Xiao. Su Zipei said to Sheng Xiao and it seemed that she was inquiring about his opinion.

Go ahead. An interesting drama has begun and it will soon come to its climax.

Sheng Xiao replied meaningfully. Why should Su Zipei bring along a different DNA report? It was to prevent Mu Tangxue from doing the DNA investigation herself. Although she was not that capable now and there was no one to help her, Sheng Xiao felt that it was a safety measure. He still asked Su Zipei to arrange everything well.

How about the Shen family? What is their response? Do they want to recognize and accept Qiqi?

Sheng Xiao turned around and looked at Mu Qiqi beside her. He helped her to wipe away the hair on her shoulders. Of course. Its because Grandpa Shen adores Young Master Shen the most. Hes always regretted that Brother Shen did not have an heir. Now, theres one available. Why wouldnt he accept her? He would never let her live outside alone.

Thats good.

Aunt, Im quite satisfied with my life now no matter if they want to accept me or not. Mu Qiqi held Su Zipeis hand and consoled her.

How could it be? You belong to the Shen family. You should return to them. Moreover, I want so badly to see how Mu Tangxue embarrasses herself!

Mu Tangxue nodded her head. But, her worry was larger than her excitement at finding her true family. It was because she was unsure whether there would be any change to her relationship with Sheng Xiao if she returned to the Shen family.

XiaoxiaoWould we be able to meet again like this if I return to the Shen family? Can we still meet each other always?

Su Zipei looked at Sheng Xiao too after listening to Mu Qiqi. It was because everything would change if Mu Qiqi returned to the Shen family. Their seniority would be different too.

Even though they were not related by blood.

At first, they thought that Sheng Xiao would be helpless too. It was because there were always two sides to anything. But, Sheng Xiao replied, What I ever did is for you to stand beside me rightfully.

If Qiqi returns to the Shen family, youll be her uncle then

Thats true. Mu Qiqi sighed.

Dont you believe in me? Dont you trust my arrangement? Sheng Xiao patted her head softly. Lets eat now. Youll know how strong my feelings are for you one day.

As long as you tell me not to worry about it Mu Qiqi smiled. Surely, I believe in you. Im just afraid that youll not be able to do that. Im afraid that itll put you in a difficult position.

Su Zipei sat across from them. She looked at them and smiled in satisfaction. The love between the youths nowadays was really difficult to explain sometimes.

Some people led ordinary life but they treated love as games. On the other hand, some people seemed not serious but they were sincere in their love.

If thats the case, Ill go to Mu Group tomorrow.
