Chapter 135: Let Qiqi Come Home This Coming Weekend

What about my aunt then?”

“Does she need your concern? Lu Wenhua would know what to do. Don’t you think that you are being a third wheel between them?”

Mu Qiqi laughed after she heard Sheng Xiao’s words. “You are right.”

When she thought about this, she decided to just listen to Sheng Xiao. As long as she was with this man, she would be fine with where she would go or what she would do.

While she was enjoying her steak, Mu Tangxue did not seem to be enjoying herself.

Although Grandpa Shen was being protective of her, he was still just one person. It was hard for him to go against all the other people in the family.

After the unhappy breakfast gathering, the Shens went to work respectively. But when they got home, they started to coerce him again.

“Father, when I got off work, I visited Eldest Sister. Her eyes were all swollen. I bet she must have been crying for the whole day. Don’t you think what you are doing is not very kind?”

Second Elder, Grandpa Shen’s second son, could not help but complained, “We can obey anything you want us to do. But not this time. We do not agree to let this girl join our family. There are so many other solutions to this matter. But what you want to do is not one of them.”

“I know you all are upset about this. But I have told you, she is your brother’s daughter!”

“Only she came back. How about the other one? Why is the other one not willing to come back?” asked Second Elder.

“She might not necessarily look up to the Shen family.”

“It is settled then, isn’t it? Let them live together and don’t come back to the Shen family. Isn’t it good for all of us? Or just let me make the arrangements. I will send that Xue… whatever her name is… I will send her overseas and to receive the best education!”

“I am the one who brought her back. None of you have the right to say no!” Grandpa Shen suddenly became fierce.

“Are you going to disregard all of us just for her?”

“I will be holding a gathering this coming weekend. Then, I will reveal their identities. You better be prepared.”

“Father.”

“Everyone must be present. This is an order.”

Grandpa Shen might look nice and friendly most of the time. But at certain times, he would show his firm attitude as the elder of the family. When he did, they could not go against him.

Mu Tangxue was in the living room. When Second Elder stormed out of the house, he saw Mu Tangxue so he yelled at her, “There will never be a place for you in this family. Apart from Father, no one will acknowledge your identity!”

“As an elder, although I should not say this, why isn’t your sister wanting to join the Shen family in a hurry?”

Second Elder was very upset with this incident. This was all because of Rong Junhan. Since Shen Jianchuan was in a vegetative state, Rong Junhan had been helping him a lot, just like a sister helping her own brother.

Mu Tangxue was upset and cried immediately.

When Second Elder saw her reaction, he was even angrier. “All you know to do is cry.”

Then, Grandpa Shen walked out of the study. When he saw Mu Tangxue being sad, he said nonchalantly, “Just ignore them. And one more thing, I will officially reveal you and your sister’s identities this coming weekend.”

“Yes, Grandpa.”

Mu Tangxue had absolutely no idea about what Grandpa Shen really meant. He was going to tell everyone that Mu Qiqi was his granddaughter. As for her, she was in fact, a Mu.

When it was dinner time, Mu Tangxue was the only one at the dining table. None of the other members of the Shen family join her. They just locked themselves in their respective rooms.

Again, Mu Tangxue was embarrassed!

Of course they would not starve themselves. So, the siblings decided on eating out.

“That girl, Mu Tangxue, I am so disgusted with her every time I see her. I have read all her stories in the papers. I cannot believe this kind of girl will one day come to our family.” Second Elder snorted while holding his glass of liquor.

“As for the other one, what is her name again? Is it Mu Qiqi? I heard that Father has seen her twice. But that girl did not seem to be very enthusiastic in joining our family. I am quite impressed with her!”

“Although they are Eldest Brother’s children, it was still too harsh on Eldest Sister.”

“And Father is going to reveal Mu Tangxue’s identity this coming weekend. He is crazy!” Shen San, Grandpa Shen’s third son shouted. He was very angry about it, too.

“But Father has ordered us to be present by then. Now, we can only figure out how to calm Eldest Sister down and make her feel better,” said Second Elder’s wife.

“Let’s see. How about this? I go and talk to Mu Tangxue. I will persuade her to leave the Shen family. Then I will use my own money to send her to anywhere she wants to go, as long as she is out of our sight.”

Mu Tangxue had no idea the members in the Shen family were thinking hard to find ways to send her away. At the moment, she was immersed in the happiness of the news that Grandpa Shen was going to publicize her identity.

How would Grandpa Shen not know his children’s feelings? He knew how they despised Mu Tangxue. But it was a critical moment now. He had to let them think that Mu Qiqi was not excited in returning to the Shen family. With that, they would find her more likable.

It was indeed the truth that Mu Qiqi did not show strong desire in returning to the Shen family. But Grandpa Shen was definite about letting her granddaughter come back.

On the other hand, when all the Shen brothers and Second Elder’s wife strongly disagree in letting Mu Tangxue join their family, Third Elder’s wife thought differently. She knew Grandpa Shen was a stubborn man. Since he had made up his mind, he would protect and love the girl. Then, Mu Tangxue would be a favorable person in the family. So, she would gladly accept the girl into the Shen family.

By the way, her relationship with Rong Junhan was not that good at all, so why bother about the Eldest Sister with just a nominal status? Shouldn’t she go flattering the new darling of the old man instead?

So, when everybody was out for supper in the late night, she grabbed the chance to make some food and send it to Mu Tangxue.

“Tangxue, I am your third aunt.”

Mu Tangxue knew she was trying to be friendly. So she quickly opened the door and let her in. She was a lady with long hair, who was standing at the door holding a plate of food with a big smile.

“You haven’t slept?”

“No, Third Aunt.”

“Don’t be bothered by what your uncles said. They had been enchanted by that Eldest Sister for years,” she explained. “You are the real young lady of the Shen family. As for her, she is just an outsider to be precise. They will understand you in the future.”

“Thank you, Third Aunt!” Mu Tangxue regained her confidence after this woman came to her.

What she said was right.

She was the flesh and blood of the Shen family. But their so-called Eldest Sister was some nobody. By law, she was just an outsider.

“You do not have to be afraid of that woman. You can tell me if you need anything.”

“Okay.” Mu Tangxue nodded.

Grandpa Shen had somehow witnessed the scene. He crossed his hands at his back and sneered. Third Elder’s wife was so clever to flatter the fake daughter of the Shen family. The truth was, the real daughter of the Shen family, was in another villa at the moment.

Later, Grandpa Shen called Sheng Xiao. He must let Mu Qiqi come home this coming weekend!
