Chapter 255: You Don’t Have to Be So Overbearing

Seventh Sister looked at her friend who had left in a hurry. She asked Sheng Xiao, “You don’t have to frighten her even if you don’t like her.”

“I’m serious.” Sheng Xiao looked at Seventh Sister directly. “Now, let’s get back to you, Seventh Sister. Fourth Uncle Sheng, could you please give me an explanation? Why did your daughter bring another girl to my room one day before my engagement?”

“Sheng Xiao, your sister just wanted to do something for you. You don’t have to be so overbearing.” Fourth Uncle Sheng told Sheng Xiao calmly.

“It’s your daughter who’s in the wrong now. Don’t turn it to me. If you let it go just like that, I’ll be more ridiculous from now on. I might send a stranger to Seventh Sister one day when I feel like it. Then, Seventh Sister could learn to be together with him.”

Sheng Xiao seemed rebellious and fearless at that moment.

Fourth Uncle Sheng was shocked when he heard that. But, he could say nothing as a comeback.

It was because what Sheng Xiao had said was the truth.

If Grandpa Sheng did not punish Seventh Sister that day, it would imply that they were allowing Sheng Xiao to do whatever he wanted in the future. Then, he would be more reckless than ever.

“Grandpa, did you hear what Sheng Xiao said just now?” Seventh Sister was indeed shocked. It was because Sheng Xiao could really carry out such a scheme.

Grandpa Sheng took a deep breath. Then, he looked at Seventh Sister. “Apologize to your brother. Moreover, you’re prohibited from attending the engagement tomorrow.”

“She shouldn’t apologize to me. Mom, please ask Qiqi to come here.” Sheng Xiao turned around and said to Mama Sheng.

Mama Sheng nodded and got up from the sofa.

Seventh Sister was upset but her palms were sweaty now. She remembered what Sheng Xiao had said just now.

“Sheng Xiao, do you have to argue with us just because of a young girl? Is it worth it?”

“I didn’t do it because of Qi’er, grandpa. I did it because I don’t like how Seventh Sister deals with things. Let’s forget about who is getting engaged to me tomorrow. Just look at what Seventh Sister did. Shouldn’t she be punished for what she had done?”

Grandpa Sheng became angry too. “I’m not feeling well. Deal with it yourself.”

Certainly, Sheng Xiao knew that Grandpa Sheng would blame Mu Qiqi no matter what he was going to do that day. But, he was not bothered about it.

He could not allow his little one being treated unfairly whether now or in the future.

He would tackle it if anyone bullied Qi’er. Then, he would deal with the other things later on.

Soon, Mama Sheng led Mu Qiqi to the living room with Fourth Sister. Mu Qiqi greeted everyone one by one after being introduced by Mama Sheng when she saw that there were a lot of elders.

But, it was rather awkward when they met each other under such circumstances. She could also feel that Papa Sheng did not care about her much.

“Doesn’t someone owe her an apology?” Sheng Xiao sat Mu Qiqi down next to him. Then, he reminded Seventh Sister what she needed to do.

Seventh Sister was rather helpless. She walked toward them and said to Mu Qiqi, “Sister-in-law, I didn’t do it on purpose. Please don’t be angry with me. I promise to treat you like one of us in the future.”

“It’s fine if you don’t cause any mess in the future.” Sheng Xiao looked up at her. “I also hope that you could teach your daughter properly, Fourth Uncle. She’s a single woman. Don’t let her go and interfere in others’ business.”

Fourth Uncle Sheng sneered. He and Seventh Sister returned to their rooms respectively.

The other elders left the living room too.

Mama Sheng and Fourth Sister were the only ones left in front of Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi.

“Although you’ve annoyed some of the elders today, what Sheng Xiao did just now was unavoidable. Seventh Sister was out of line.” Fourth Sister consoled Mu Qiqi. “Xiao Qi, you don’t have to worry. That’s how we lead our lives here. It’s not because of you. Don’t be upset over it.”

“Fourth Sister, I know.” Mu Qiqi turned around and consoled Fourth Sister instead.

“Fine. Seventh Sister was indeed out of line today. You don’t have to think too much. Return home and rest early. You’re going to be engaged tomorrow. You’ll be busy.”

“Look at your grandpa just now. He felt so angry. So, he might not attend the engagement tomorrow.” Fourth Sister made her own assumption.

“It’s nothing. He’ll certainly attend the engagement tomorrow.” Sheng Xiao was sure of that. Then, he put his arms around Mu Qiqi’s shoulders. “Mom, Fourth Sister, we’ll return home now.”

“Go then.”

Mama Sheng nodded her head. She sighed and said to Fourth Sister after they had left. “I adore Qiqi indeed. I’ll endure anything for Sheng Xiao. It’s clear that Qiqi is not somebody who is prideful. She doesn’t even value what the Sheng family values deeply.”

“Aunt, I’ve never seen Sheng Xiao so angry at home. He showed no compassion for Seventh Sister. It’s clear that he was trying to teach her a lesson. So. you don’t have to worry.” Fourth Sister consoled Mama Sheng. “Moreover, Qiqi is not somebody who the others can bully easily. She’s talented and sensible. We’re not sure how she’ll turn out in the future.”

Mama Sheng smiled. She pointed at Fourth Sister and said, “What a sweet mouth you have.”

After that, they returned to their rooms respectively. Fourth Sister bumped into Jing Yun on her way back to her room. She called after him, “Take good care of your young master, Jing Yun.”

“Miss Sheng, take good care of yourself too. You’ve become thinner.”

Fourth Sister nodded her head. “Come to my room and help me to send Qiqi my gift for her. I forgot about it again.”

Jing Yun followed close behind Fourth Sister dully. Then, he saw her handing him a big gift box and a small gift box.

“The big one is for Qiqi and the small one is for you. I remembered that you’ve always liked robots since you were young. I saw a special one when I was in Vienna so I bought it for you.”

Jing Yun’s eyes brightened at that. He received the gift and said to Fourth Sister, “Thank you, Miss Sheng.”

But, he was the only one who knew how excited he was deep inside his heart.

Miss Sheng never forgot about him. She always bought gifts for him whenever she went. He always cherished her action deep inside her heart. It warmed him.

On their way back to Jing Ting, Mu Qiqi stole a few glances at Sheng Xiao. Although he seemed normal and calm, she could feel his anger clearly.

“I’m fine.”

“You’re fine but I’m not.” Sheng Xiao sped up. “If Fourth Sister didn’t bump into them, did you plan to endure it secretly and hide it from me?”

“I’ve recorded it. I even planned to open the door and let them know that Sheng Xiao’s woman is there inside the room.” Mu Qiqi explained to him. “Do you think that I’ll endure it like that? Don’t you forget that I was the one who defeated Rong Junhan. Do you think that your Seventh Sister is able to bully me?”

“I really want to see that. Does it mean that I’ve robbed away your chance to do right to yourself?”

“You’re bullying me.” Mu Qiqi stared at him. “But, it seems like the elders of the Sheng family will not attend the engagement tomorrow sincerely. They’ll just attend it for the sake of it only.”
