Chapter 886: Eighth Brother, You’re the Only One Who Spoils Her

The Lin family quickly made preparations for the marriage proposal. They also gave Mama Lu a call. Although there were no men in the Lu family now, proper etiquette was still to be upheld.

The two families selected a weekend to gather together. As Grandfather Lin was about to attend an important event, Grandfather Shen was also going with him. Therefore, he planned to completely resolve the matter of this little brat in the family before he left. He wanted to settle it thoroughly.

Mama Lu never thought that Elder Lin would actually personally visit her. She also never thought that her daughter would be able to pull through all the hardships. Therefore, Mama Lu was on her best behaviour, which made Elder Lin feel even more at ease.

“Mu’an… This child at first glance looks like a young master from an aristocratic family. However, after interacting with him for a long time, you will know that he is a very responsible man. Previously, when Qianqian’s father passed away, there were no men in the family. It was Mu’an who supported us mother and daughter as we walked out of our predicament. Elder Lin, I am very grateful to you for this. You have raised a very outstanding grandson.”

Of course, Elder Lin knew about this. Back then, he was against it. His family was fine, but he had to put on mourning clothes for others. But now that he thought about it, this kid probably grew up from that time.

“The relationship between the two children is already in place. I won’t say anything more. We’ll be a family from now on.

“Mu’an has never had a mother since he was young. With you around, I can rest assured. As for the engagement date, you guys can decide. It doesn’t matter if the wedding is held or not, but it’s an engagement. I’ve wronged Qianqian during this period of time. It can be considered as my compensation to her.”

Grandfather Lin wanted to express the Lin family’s intentions, which were all positive.

“Then… we shall make the decisions with your blessings.” Mama Lu took over this matter.

“Good. The things that I, an old man, can produce probably won’t be as good as young people’s wishes. Just do whatever you like.”

Just like that, the two families officially met and confirmed the joining of two families.

Lu Qianqian didn’t expect things to go so smoothly. It was all too sudden. She even felt a strong sense of insecurity.

“Brat, your room has been restored to its original state. Go home and stay there. After the engagement, you can stay wherever you like.”

“Then I’ll stay here for 135 days and stay at home for 246 days.” Lin Mu’an knew that both Mama Lu and Grandfather Lin’s homes were very quiet.

With this arrangement, he and Lu Qianqian could be filial to the elders on both sides.

“At least you still have a conscience. Tomorrow, Elder Shen and I will leave for Luo Hai. We won’t be back until three days later.”

“Then you go home tonight.” Lu Qianqian leaned against Lin Mu’an’s arm. “Accompany Grandfather.”

“Tomorrow morning, I’ll come and pick you up,” Lin Mu’an whispered into Lu Qianqian’s ear.

“Got it.” Lu Qianqian blushed slightly.

“Look at these two lovebirds… Aren’t they inseparable?”

In the end, Lin Mu’an followed Old Master Lin back to the Lin family’s home. That night, Lu Qianqian could only look at Lin Mu’an’s razor and think about him.

Song Jiang knew about the event that Old Master Lin mentioned. He knew clearly who gave the order for the Shen family to take action back then. However, that person was old and seriously ill. Old Master Lin and Old Master Shen were headed to Luo Hai, just to see him.

Since they were old friends, he naturally had to go and give his condolences. He wanted them to rest assured that the Song family was not finished yet.

Song Bozhi wanted to go along!

Because he had said that he would let Old Master Lin see his cufflinks. Even if Old Master Lin did not know the “story”, he could still make up one for him to hear.

..

At eight o’clock that night, Sheng Xiao picked Mu Qiqi up from the Jianchuan branch office and went home to eat at the Shen family’s home.

As Old Master Shen was about to leave, he wanted to take a look at his granddaughter before he bade them farewell.

“Grandfather, you’ll only be away for three days.” Mu Qiqi sat beside him and said, “Is there a need to specially call me over?”

“Why? Aren’t you happy that I asked you to come over for dinner?”

“Of course not.”

“Old Master Lin will be back in three days, but I’ll be at Luo Hai. You don’t need to know the reason for this period of time. It might take a few months. I don’t want to come back and see my precious great-grandchild already born.”

After hearing Old Man Shen’s explanation, Mu Qiqi quickly asked, “That place is surrounded by the sea. You can finally fish to your heart’s content.”

“Eighth Brother, Jianchuan will go with me. Elder Liu hasn’t seen him in so many years. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of the Shen family.”

“Don’t worry.” Sheng Xiao was unusually calm and only said these two words.

“Then Dad won’t have to go for so long, right?”

“Why? You still can’t bear for us to leave?” Shen Jianchuan asked Mu Qiqi in return. “You have Eighth Brother to take care of you now and the Sheng family pampers you. We’re not worried. If you’re in danger, you know who to look for.”

Mu Qiqi knew very well in her heart that something must have happened for them to go visit their comrades. However, she would not ask too much.

“Then come back as soon as possible. I’ll be waiting. When the baby is born, I’ll let you guys pick a name.” Mu Qiqi patted her belly and said, “Master Xiao, you won’t mind, right?”

“Grandpa is naturally the best choice.”

“Be good. When I give birth to your second baby, you can pick it out properly. As for my Batian… I don’t know how old he’ll be then.”

The whole family was amused by this clown. Huang Yu stared at her and said, “Who would name their own child like that?”

Mu Qiqi turned to look at Sheng Xiao and blinked.

Master Xiao received the signal and tried to smooth things over. “I’ve heard her say that name till I’m used to it. I think Batian isn’t too bad either.”

“Eighth Brother, you’re the only one who spoils her.”

Sheng Xiao could not deny it. The whole family chatted and laughed as they finished their dinner.

“Then, Dad, Grandfather, you have a smooth journey tomorrow. I’m pregnant with the baby, so I won’t send you guys off.”

“Stop messing around. Go back and rest.” Old Master Shen quickly took care of them.

Sheng Xiao then left the Shen family’s home with Mu Qiqi. However, on the way back, Mu Qiqi could not help asking, “What exactly happened?”

“Do you remember the story I told you about the brigade commander?”

“That was Grandfather.”

“Song Jiang was the only one out of the five members of the family who survived. Grandfather and Dad are going over because the old chief who ordered him to take action is seriously ill. Grandfather probably wants to accompany him on the final journey to avoid Song Jiang’s revenge.”

After listening to Sheng Xiao’s explanation, Mu Qiqi nodded. “No wonder. Will there be any danger?”

“With Dad around, it won’t go that far.”

That was true.

Mu Qiqi fully believed in her father’s head. “Do the Song family really think they’re innocent? They’re fanning the flames everywhere and making everyone restless.”

Sheng Xiao tugged at her coat and put his arm around her waist. “These aren’t things that you should be asking about. The most important thing for you now is to give birth to the baby safely. I’ll do the rest.”
