Its nothing, Grandpa, said Shen Ruoyi.

I was insulted by some kids just now. But I am alright now, Grandpa, said Mu Qiqi.

Grandpa Shen looked at Mu Qiqi and asked, What did they do to you?

Mu Qiqi recounted the incident to Grandpa Shen. But to Shen Ruoyi, Mu Qiqi was just asking for trouble. As she was not the one being humiliated, she only thought about maintaining her image as a well-mannered lady. She did not want to have any conflict with anybody.

But Mu Qiqi was not afraid to fight!

Grandpa Shens eyes darkened. He asked, Tell me, which kids?

Mu Qiqi pointed to them. Grandpa Shen recognized them. He knew which families the devils came from.

This was the first time his granddaughter attended such an occasion and she was insulted. He would not allow that to happen.

Grandpa, it was just a small argument among the children. It was not that serious as you think. Shen Ruoyi was trying to calm Grandpa Shen down. If you go and pick a fight with them, Qiqi will not be able to get along with them in the future.

Grandpa Shen stared at Shen Ruoyi.

I have never thought of getting along with them! Mu Qiqi told Shen Ruoyi frankly. Sister Ruoyi, if you dont want to get involved with this, you can stay away from me.

Come with me, girl. Grandpa Shen walked back to his comrades with Mu Qiqi by his side.

However, Mu Qiqis action was seen by the parents of the few boys. They were all from big influential families. So, they felt embarrassed somehow.

Senior Officer Shen, your granddaughter is such a great debater. It is my first time seeing my boy be defeated with such few words.

But I hope that you will not mind the argument among the children.

It was the father of the boy who came to Grandpa Shen who was talking.

Grandpa Shen smirked and patted Mu Qiqi on her shoulder. He said, A good man will know what can and cannot be said. I am afraid Major General Zhong will have to go back and teach your son well. If not, he will be lectured by another person again even if he was not lectured by my granddaughter today.

Of course, I will not mind such a petty thing. But if my granddaughter is unhappy, I will be too.

Today is Old Lins birthday, so I will not cause any trouble in his party. Although I have retired, I think my words are still being taken seriously. Take care of yourself, Major General Zhong.

You do not have to worry about me. But I am more worried about you, Old Shen. This is the world of the young ones. Wont you worry that your granddaughter will cause big trouble if you keep on spoiling her like that?

Major General Zhong would not be afraid of a retired senior officer.

But Grandpa Shen smiled steadily without any fear.

Right at the moment, the Lin family got to know about the fight between the two, so, Old Lins son rushed to them to cease the fight.

Oh my, are you joking about the Lin family not providing you with great hospitality? You are both famous figures in society. I hope Old Shen and Major General Zhong will be kind to each other for my fathers sake.

He joked about my family matters. Am I to be blamed for this? Grandpa Shen was firm. He needs to be educated if he is not well educated.

Old Shen, dont be too much. Major General Zhong did not want to lose.

But I want to! Or my granddaughter will be bullied by your son. You have no right to argue with me!

It was only natural that everyone will protect their own children. But Grandpa Shen wanted to tell him that Qiqi was not someone who he could trample on. And his son was not someone who could be humiliated by simply anyone. If Mu Qiqi was being humiliated since the start, then how could she attend to these occasions in the future?

They were both red with anger. But Mu Qiqi and Grandpa Shen did not lose.

Shen Ruoyi was gasping for air. She had always wished for peace. She thought that people would not like a competitive person. So, to her, Mu Qiqi shouldnt make this a big deal.

She did not believe her mother saying Mu Qiqi had low EQ before. Now, she had changed her mind.

Why wouldnt Mu Qiqi know about the art of interacting with people? It was only that she had made up her mind not to make concessions over this kind of matter. Putting on a smiling face to someone who trampled on you was not having a high EQ. It was plain stupidity!

No matter when it happened, even after another hundred years, she would not let it slide easily.

More and more people were talking about Mu Qiqi at the banquet. Some praised her and some criticized her. But Mu Qiqi did not care what they thought about her. She just wanted to live a happy life.

Suddenly, the crowd became restless.

Mu Qiqi looked at the entrance and saw a man in a black suit. He walked gracefully into the hall with Jing Yun.

He is Sheng Xiao.

Isnt it supposed to be the sixth son attending?

The guests gazed at the crown prince of Huang Yao intensely. He was a famous person, so he always got the spotlight wherever he went.

Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao looked at each other. Some people in the banquet hall greeted Sheng Xiao, but he ignored them.

He would greet the elders. As for those he deemed unimportant, he would just pretend they were not there.

Mu Qiqi was scared that her relationship with Sheng Xiao would surface. She turned to look at Shen Ruoyi. For a second, she saw the way Shen Ruoyi looked at Sheng Xiao. Her eyes were full of admiration. She was surprised and happy to see Sheng Xiao.

She suddenly realized why Shen Ruoyi wanted to get close to her.

No wonder Shen Ruoyi knew Sheng Xiaos English name.

Mu Qiqi withdrew her gaze. Sheng Xiao walked toward Grandpa Shen. Uncle Shen.

You are here too. Grandpa Shen grinned.

Sheng Xiao was a sharp person. He had guessed what was happening now by studying his surroundings. He patted Mu Qiqis head, as a way to tell all the people she had his protection. Did you get into trouble?

Not really. She was being bullied. Grandpa Shen turned and looked at Major General Zhong.

Sheng Xiao knew what Grandpa Shen was trying to tell him. He smiled and said, Let me take care of her, Uncle Shen. Then you can enjoy the party.

Then you should take good care of her! Grandpa Shen said, If she was criticized by the others again, I will blame you.

Dont worry. I like dealing with those who do not like to say good things. It is my hobby. Sheng Xiao purposely said this aloud to let people hear him.
