Chapter 4: Afraid That I Would Eat Her?
Translator:EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor:EndlessFantasy Translation
On the way to their new apartment, Mu Qiqis aunt could not help asking, Qiqi, what is actually going on?
I might have to follow Sheng Xiao from now on, Aunt. He saved me yesterday, and stopped me from being sold off, Mu Qiqi explained, the corners of her eyes reddened. However, how I treated Uncle
That scumbag deserves it!
Mu Qiqis aunt exclaimed. Then, worried that Mu Qiqi was going to fall into a trap again, she paused a moment before adding, But its a little ridiculous to even say it. By what right would he take you in? Moreover, your families have been fighting for generations
I dont know but I dont have anywhere else to go at the moment.
We can thank Young Master Sheng for helping us remove that vermin uncle of yours and go back. Ill work to support you. Mu Qiqis aunt suggested, mainly because she was uneasy.
Mu Qiqi shook her head reluctantly. Aunt, although Ive been abandoned by the Mu family, if Tangxue is going to come up with new ways to hurt me if she learns that Im living with you. I really couldnt stand it. I couldnt stand our parents spoiling her non-stop while hurting me
I dont know what would happen if I follow Sheng Xiao, but I dont want the past to repeat itself and become a scapegoat for Tangxue.
Mu Qiqis aunt nodded at her words, feeling the bitterness. Alright, if thats what you choose. Ill stay with you, and you can throw away all morals and rationality and whatnot.
Thank you, Aunt
Why would Mu Qiqis aunt agree with her idea?
That was because even after she planned to divorce her scumbag husband after she learned that Mu Qiqi had been sold off, she had quickly phoned his own sisterMu Qiqis own biological mother. However, she was unaffected by that news at all.
Sold off? Its fine. Just watch her and keep it a secret, dont shame the Mu family!
Well, since that was how she would treat her own daughter, Mu Qiqi definitely did not have to go back.
Now, she would see what Sheng Xiao has arranged for the young girl.
***
Sheng Xiaos assistant had sent Mu Qiqi and Su Zipeiher aunt to a condominium in the suburban district of Jianchuan. However, they passed by the prestigious school that she and Mu Tangxue studied in.
Mu Qiqis tears were threatening to fall, and Su Zipei quickly consoled her. Qiqi, dont be sad. Were with the Sheng family now, you can just forget about them!
Im just upset that Mu Tangxue is sitting in there comfortably and getting spoiled as much as she could.
In front of them and having heard their conversation, Sheng Xiaos assistant could not help asking, If you have the chance to return to that school, would you still be polite to your sister?
In her dreams!
Her studies had been in utter shambles over her sisters happiness. She had done everything to keep her satisfied, even losing herself
But no more!

Meanwhile, Sheng Xiao returned home in another car and was given a scolding by his family over his accident, before taken to his room to recover.
Soon, his assistant Jing Yun returned as well to report about Mu Qiqi and her aunt.
Be that as it may, he could not hold back saying, Young Master, she is an eighteen-year-old girl, not a cat or a dog. Since you have taken her in, you would have to take responsibility for her from now on.
I know Sheng Xiao replied, leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed.
Caring for a person is no easy matter.
Are you suggesting that I should have watched her being sold and do nothing? Sheng Xiao straightened and answered Jing Yun with another question.
We could just let her live with her aunt after saving her. We shouldnt interfere with matters of the Mu family
Is that your call or mine? Sheng Xiao teased Jing Yun thoughtfully.
The assistant spaced out for a moment before answering, Its your call but if Master and Madam knew that youve taken her in
Then dont let them know! Sheng Xiao rose to his feet.
Jing Yun always found the young master behaving triflinglywould he really be able to take someone in so easily and care for her?
Not to mention that he was ever so untamed and free-spirited.
Nonetheless, when Jing Yun was spacing out, Sheng Xiao had already reached the door.
Young Master, where are you going?
Need someone to help me with my meds.
As for who, it certainly would be the one who stripped him of his underpants!
***
When she reached it, Mu Qiqi thought that the condominium was excessively luxurious and not too different from the time when she was living with the Mu family.
It was just that she did not know where she would go from there.
Qiqi could Young Master Sheng be meaning to groom you like a lover? Su Zipei was still worried. I wont let that happen even if I die
Youre thinking too much, Aunt Zipei Im more or less dissatisfied with those body portions of hers. Sheng Xiao said, having just entered. He put the keys to the house on a table, before studying Mu Qiqi thoughtfully.
Young Master Sheng
Come help me change my bandages. Sheng Xiao gestured at Mu Qiqi.
Young Master Sheng, please allow me. Ill certainly do it better than Qiqi. Su Zipei quickly interrupted to stop them from being alone together.
After all, Mu Qiqi was still too nave.
Why? Are you afraid that Ill eat her up, Aunt Zipei? Sheng Xiao smiled, a devilish air appearing between his eyes.
Aunt Zipei, its alright. I trust him. Mu Qiqi quickly said. Then, after going downstairs to the guestroom, she crouched in front of Sheng Xiao. Please take off your pants.
Resting his elbow on his knee, Sheng Xiao reached out to touch Mu Qiqis chin. Young lady of the Mu family, do you think youre living on someone elses charity?
Im only afraid. I dont know my future, or whether I could still be here tomorrow. Mu Qiqi said tearfully.
Let me tell you, then! You now belong to the Sheng family since Ive taken you in, and as long as Im here, you would be fed and have a place to sleep What, you dont believe me? Sheng Xiao asked her seriously.
I do! Mu Qiqi nodded.
Although she appeared to be very earnest, Sheng Xiao knew that it would be difficult for her to escape her fears at once.
Still, he did not try to force her.
Find a school you can study in. Youre still a third-year high schooler if I remember correctly.
Okay! Mu Qiqi nodded, although she was perfectly aware that she could not hope to return to her old schoolshe had neither the stature nor the money after the Mu family disowned her.
However, what Sheng Xiao told her then left her taken aback.
Youre definitely not going back to Van Gogh Royal Academy
Yes.
Well, Eaton it is.
Huh? Mu Qiqi was bewildered because Eaton was an academy more prestigious than Van Gogh.
And Sheng Xiao was having her join that school?
Ill have Jing Yun arranged for your entry into the school tomorrow. As for whether you really are inferior to your sister, Mu Qiqi, well have an answer then.
Mu Qiqi felt her heart churning extraordinarily at those words.
