Chapter 898: I’ve Never Felt Troubled

The Song family discovered that Elder Liu had disappeared the next night.

Song Jiang really didn’t expect that the Shen family would actually directly take him away without anyone knowing.

“It’s like they don’t even want to care about his sons anymore.”

Song Jiang smashed his cup, his heart filled with anger. “Shen family, good job.”

“Godfather, there’s no need to be angry. Even if this Liu guy hides for a while, he won’t be able to hide forever. Sooner or later, he’ll have to come out and face the music.” Sheng Kai quickly tried to persuade him. “After all, there’s no cure for his illness.”

“I want to make him suffer!”

“He’s just being hidden by the Shen family, but that doesn’t mean he won’t suffer.”

“I want to see him suffer.”

Song Jiang had never shown his anger in front of Sheng Kai. This man was good at disguising his emotions. He had always smiled at others, but this time, he was furious.

“It’s my fault. Please punish me, Godfather.”

Sheng Kai pulled Song Jiang’s rationality back. He took a deep breath to calm himself down. “This has nothing to do with you. The Shen family is too cunning. Even I didn’t expect that they would hide him. You and Qiaozhi continue to set up a trap and let the Liu family make a scene. I’d like to see how long that Liu can endure it.”

“Got it, Godfather.”

“We’ll head back to Jianchuan tomorrow,” Song Jiang said to Song Bozhi.

Song Bozhi sat at the side and didn’t say a word. It was as if he was watching a play. He had said long ago that Sheng Kai didn’t know how to do things, but this old man refused to listen. He continued to believe that one day, this old man would be betrayed by Sheng Kai.

..

Late at night, Jianchuan was sweltering.

Mu Qiqi was wearing a white cotton dress. Together with Sheng Xiao, they held hands and went to the Shen’s family home.

Elder Liu was now staying there and the family doctor was by his side at all times. Mu Qiqi wanted to see this old man. He had apparently saved Old Master Shen’s life back then.

Because he was seriously ill, he required an oxygen mask around the clock. Therefore, when Mu Qiqi saw this old man, he was lying on the bed and could not move.

“Why are you all here?” Shen Jianchuan was guarding the room. When he saw his daughter and son-in-law, he quickly got up.

“Came over to take a look.” Mu Qiqi pointed at the old man in the room and asked, “How is he now?”

“His body has just stabilized, but he’s still worried about his three sons, so he’s not in a good mood,” Shen Jianchuan replied. “You’re pregnant, so don’t go to places with strong medicinal smell.”

“I’ve also heard about the deeds of the three young masters of the Liu family. The old man got completely dragged down by his own sons.” Mu Qiqi did not hold back as she entered Elder Liu’s room and took a seat beside his bed.

“Hello, Grandpa Liu. I’m the Shen family’s granddaughter…”

Shen Jianchuan saw that Mu Qiqi and Elder Liu were chatting and his expression was a little helpless. Sheng Xiao was used to her meddlesome personality, so he did not mind at all and said, “Dad, let’s go out and have a chat, shall we?”

Shen Jianchuan nodded. “Let’s go.”

Right now, the Song family was still expanding their targets and taking down the Lu family and the Lin family. Since it was related to the Shen family, Sheng Xiao naturally would not sit idly by.

“I think we should think of a way to invite him into a trap?”

Shen Jianchuan understood what Sheng Xiao meant. If they just sat there and waited to be killed, it would only implicate more and more people.

“Song Bozhi is threatening Qi’er. I won’t let him continue to stay in Jianchuan.”

“What do you have in mind?” Shen Jianchuan asked Sheng Xiao.

“I have a plan. It will take a long time, but I have the right to speak.”

“Speak.”

The two men were discussing strategies on how to deal with the Song family outside while Mu Qiqi was in the room chatting with Elder Liu even though he could only answer with a few words.

“Elder Liu, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but your three sons have been spoiled by you. Think about it, even if they keep asking you, you won’t be able to protect them forever, right? Instead of doing that, it’s better to be open-minded. That way, they’ll know that they don’t have a backer, and they won’t be so unbridled.

“In this life, other than life and death, what else is important?”

Elder Liu was wearing an oxygen mask and he could not see the little girl clearly. However, he could feel that she was full of wisdom and magnanimity.

A moment later, Sheng Xiao entered the room and tugged at her. “Have you had enough chicken soup? Elder Liu wants to rest…”

“What chicken soup? Which part of what I said wasn’t true?” Mu Qiqi turned around and glared at Sheng Xiao. “This person needs things to be explained to him often, alright? Otherwise, he’ll be suffocated.”

“Come again tomorrow if you have time.” Sheng Xiao dragged her away. “After you got pregnant, you’re even more talkative.”

“If you don’t like it, then ignore me.” Mu Qiqi pouted and looked unhappy. “What were you and Dad talking about outside just now? It took such a long time.”

“We were discussing your words. Why are there more and more of them?”

“That’s enough. As if I don’t know that you guys were obviously discussing how to deal with the Song family.” Mu Qiqi looked at the man beside her with disdain. “Master Xiao, I have no other requests except this. Don’t drag Qianqian and Lin Mu’an into this.”

“I don’t want to drag them into this.” Sheng Xiao brought Mu Qiqi back to the Banyan Courtyard. “I’ll make a trip to the Lin family’s home tomorrow.”

“You’re going to convince Old Master Lin? He’s a stubborn old man. He won’t listen to you.”

“Not necessarily.”

Sheng Xiao only used two words to interrupt Mu Qiqi. She leaned against his chest and pondered for a long time. In the end, she still trusted this man.

It was just that he had to step in for everything. Mu Qiqi felt like her existence was only adding to the trouble.

She felt very guilty.

“Because of me, I’ve caused you to run around every day and show up everywhere. I feel that I’ve committed a great sin…”

“Why didn’t you realize this when you had a crush on me?” Sheng Xiao hugged her and prepared to rest.

“Can’t you say something nice for once?”

“I’ve never felt troubled.” Sheng Xiao paused for a while before he spoke. “Sometimes I think that you’re a blabbermouth, and sometimes I also think that you’re a troublemaker. However, I’ve never felt impatient with you.”

After Mu Qiqi heard this, she felt very satisfied.

“Actually, I have a lot of things I want to do for you.”

“Enough. Give birth to the baby safely and I’ll consider you a great contributor.” Sheng Xiao held her in one hand and looked at his documents with the other. “Go to sleep. If we continue chatting, I won’t be able to finish reading all this.”

After Mu Qiqi heard this, she quickly closed her eyes.

Why did she bump into this wise and divine man?

Mu Qiqi’s lips curled into a smile when she fell asleep.

..

The next day, Sheng Xiao asked Xu Che to pass the invitation to Old Master Lin. He felt that there was a need for him to personally attend to certain matters.

The two of them made an appointment to have tea in the Lin family’s home in the afternoon.

Old Master Lin really did not know Sheng Xiao’s intentions. He was filled with curiosity toward this young man.
