Chapter 146: How to Live Like a Dead Person

“Qiqi, don’t go too far. There are many guests today.” Grandpa Shen reminded Mu Qiqi. He did not want her to make things seem too awful and make people misunderstand.

“Grandpa, Mu Tangxue admitted that she killed Grandma Mu and framed me. It’s a human life.” Mu Qiqi looked up at Grandpa Shen. “There is nothing wrong that she wants to become rich and famous. She is not considered evil with all the framing and plotting. But the real vicious thing that she did was to kill our mother.”

“I am sorry. I cannot leave a good impression on you anymore.” Her words were meant for Grandpa Shen, and Sheng Xiao.

Grandpa Shen looked at Mu Qiqi emotionally. He had never thought that Mu Qiqi would have such deep hatred toward Mu Tangxue.

“What do you want to do?”

“I want to bring her to a place that she ought to go. So, I might disappoint you tonight. I am also sorry for the guests.” Mu Qiqi bowed deeply to the guests present.

Grandpa Shen contemplated for a moment. Finally, he said, “You can go. We, the Shens should always sort out our grudges.”

Given the permission, Mu Qiqi dragged Mu Tangxu out of the hall. Sheng Xiao looked at Jing Yun, signaling him to help her out.

Mu Tangxue struggled. But perhaps she was used to acting weak, she failed to get herself out of Mu Qiqi’s control.

Mu Qiqi dragged her into the car and Jing Yun quickly got into the driver’s seat and drove away. The noisy hall suddenly fell into silence. Some people seemed to understand what happened, but some were still confused.

Third Aunt sneered. She looked at Grandpa Shen and said, “Father, stop pretending. You know this all along, right?”

Grandpa Shen looked at his daughter-in-law but remained silent.

“You lied to all of us just to make sure Mu Qiqi can return to the family smoothly. And you made a fool out of me!”

“Speaking of this, you knew that Mu Tangxue was framing Mu Qiqi but you still went along with it. Do you think I do not know about it?” Grandpa Shen was angry being questioned and so he exploded. “If you are a morally upright person, who can trick you so easily? How come Second Elder does not argue with me on this?”

Third Aunt was stunned. Her eyes were red. She was ashamed.

“Although Qiqi is not here, she is indeed my kin. She is the daughter of my first son. If I don’t care about your faces, I would not have to do this. Do I need your permission to acknowledge her as my granddaughter?”

“Are you not ashamed when you questioned me? Second Elder, send the guests out. I will consider today’s ceremony completed.” Grandpa Shen left after giving the order.

As he was leaving the scene, Grandpa Shen looked in the direction where Sheng Xiao was standing at. But he was already nowhere to be seen.

Third Aunt felt wronged. She ignored everyone and went into her room.

Second Aunt laughed. “She thought that she had found an ally. In the end, she turned out to be a fake.”

Second Elder nudged his wife to look at Rong Junhan.

“What’s wrong?”

“I hope she will not think too much about it,” said Second Elder.

Although it was Mu Tangxue who had initiated the incident, Mu Qiqi was able to fight back and prove that Mu Tangxue was a fake. She even had a DNA report in hand. This would mean that she planned this beforehand and Grandpa Shen allowed her to do so.

Did Grandpa Shen not think about how the outsiders would talk about Jianchuan if he did so?

What would people think of Shen Jianchuan when they knew that Mu Qiqi and Mu Tangxue had different fathers even when they were twins?

Grandpa Shen was a thoughtful man. He must have thought about this. But he still let Mu Qiqi reveal the truth. His action showed that he cared a lot about his granddaughter.

Mu Qiqi was taken care of. But what about Rong Junhan? How would people think of her? Wouldn’t they think that she was being silly?

“Are you alright, Eldest Sister?” Second Aunt was worried when she saw her in a daze.

Rong Junhan shook her head. Then, she said something that made everyone feel bad. “Father’s arrangements had made me realize how petty my contribution to the family seemed to him after all these years.”

“Eldest Sister…”

“If you still have a conscience, don’t acknowledge Mu Qiqi. Promise me.”

Second Aunt saw the anger in Rong Junhan’s eyes. She quickly said, “We will promise you. Don’t worry.”

“Don’t be nice to her!”

“We promise.”

“Remember what you said today.” Rong Junhan stood up and left the mansion.

Second Elder sighed. “There will never be peace in the Shen family. Eldest Sister does not let us acknowledge Qiqi as part of the family, but Father…”

Eldest Sister helped us a lot and we are so close for so many years. We should stand by her side. If not, she will be too pitiful.” Second Elder said to his wife.

“You are right.”

As for Third Aunt, she would never forget the humiliation she had suffered because of Mu Qiqi.

Of course, Mu Qiqi had never thought about joining the Shen family for real. So, she did not care whether she could be on good terms with the Shens.

…

“Where are you bringing me?” Mu Tangxue started getting restless after a long journey. “Mu Qiqi, you are embarrassing the Shen family if you do this.”

But Mu Qiqi did not bother. “You don’t have to worry about me.”

“Sister, I am already so miserable, what do you want me to do?”

“Have you visited Mommy after she died?” Mu Qiqi looked at Mu Tangxue and asked.

Mu Tangxue was stunned.

“I have dreamt of her a few times. She was all burnt up but she still stood in front of me begging me to spare you.”

A chill ran down Mu Tangxue’s spine.

“Let’s go and visit Mommy once. Then you can go back to the Mu family and be the Mu lady again.”

Their surroundings were getting darker and darker and the people on the street were getting less. Mu Tangxue started sweating but Mu Qiqi pretended not to see it.

Jing Yun drove straight into the cemetery.

Mu Qiqi dragged Mu Tangxue out of the car to their mother’s tombstone. Then, Mu Qiqi asked, “Don’t you want to kneel?”

Mu Tangxue had no choice but to kneel. She was becoming almost inhuman, but her mother’s death was still the one thing that traumatized her.

When she saw her mother’s photos, she would think of the way she looked before she died.

Mu Tangxue knelt on the ground and started crying.

“You killed the only person that truly loved you. And now that all your plots have failed, you should enjoy being alone for the rest of your life. You only live once. You should at least learn how to live like a dead person.”
