Sheng Xiao stroked Mu Qiqi’s soft hair and looked at her enjoying the sensation. “There is no plan. You should just drink with Fourth Sister more often and she will naturally open up to you.”
Mu Qiqi knew she was tricked again and pushed Sheng Xiao away. She got down from his lap and said. “Boring.”
Sheng Xiao swiftly pulled her toward him and pinned her on his lap. And he spanked her round bottoms. “You seem to be getting more daring.”
“It is you who taught me to be so. If you are criticizing me, then you are criticizing yourself.”
Sheng Xiao was speechless.
She needed to be taught a lesson!
…
Soon, Grandpa Sheng summoned all the Shengs for dinner. The reason was pretty simple. He wanted to announce the engagement of Sheng Minglan. The Englishman was a successful fashion entrepreneur who owned a vast fashion collection. And of course, when they got engaged, the two business corporations formed a strategic partnership formalized by a business contract.
This was undeniably an act of selling his granddaughter, but in Grandpa Sheng’s eyes, he saw it as a joyful family event.
Mu Qiqi was also there that night. When Grandpa Sheng made the announcement, she was very worried and looked at Sheng Minglan. However, she did not show any response. She looked especially calm.
“It will be held on the eighth of next month, before the marketing events of Huang Yao start. Minglan, you should get ready for it.”
Sheng Minglan put down her cutlery after Grandpa Sheng made his order. “Yes, Grandpa.”
“Congrats, Fourth Sister, for getting such a good marriage.” Seventh Sister made a toast to wish Sheng Minglan happiness.
“I will get married soon. And you will be the next one. Seventh Sister, I wish you good luck as well.”
They clinked their glasses, but neither of them were sincere.
That night, Seventh Sister did not find a chance to cause Mu Qiqi trouble. She was waiting. Waiting for Grandpa Sheng to give the signal.
Of course, she did not expect that the chance would come so fast.
The dinner was indeed a tasteless one because everyone was having different thoughts in their minds.
After dinner, Mu Qiqi approached Sheng Minglan and winked at her. “Fourth Sister, let’s go to Jing Ting for a drink.”
“Sheng Xiao is willing to give up the chance to have a romantic night with you?”
“Of course. Nothing will stop him anyway.” He could still make enough love with her even if she was drunk.
Sheng Minglan nodded and left Sheng Mansion with Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao.
Grandpa Sheng saw them leave and asked Mama Sheng. “Minglan seems to be quite close to Mu Qiqi. It’s so late but she still goes out with her.”
“Minglan is a gentle child. And because of this, she can’t say anything when she is here even if she is sad. Now that she is close to Mu Qiqi, at least she has something that she can talk to, don’t you think?” Mama Sheng knew what Grandpa Sheng’s weakness was.
Everyone knew that the Englishman was a divorcee.
Sheng Minglan had agreed to the arranged marriage but it did not mean that she was happy about it.
Grandpa Sheng could not say anything to refute. However, he had found a chance to deal with Mu Qiqi.
“Well then, just let them be.”

But, after returning to his study, Grandpa Sheng summoned his son. “The person-in-charge of the banquet for the VVIPs of Huang Yao has not been decided, right?”
“Are you having anything in mind? The planning department hasn’t sent in any proposal yet. You know, it is a havoc every year. Some will never be satisfied with the events held that night. They are out of ideas to deal with the rich ladies already. So, I am thinking of going with the usual plan. It is the safest way.”
“Let Mu Qiqi handle it this year.”
“What?” Papa Sheng was startled after hearing this. “Father, Mu Qiqi is just a student. She knows nothing. How can she handle such a big project?”
“But she is already Sheng Xiao’s fiancée. Sheng Xiao is the crown prince of Huang Yao, so as his fiancée, if Mu Qiqi knows nothing about the family business, she will become a laughingstock of the family. She is a Shen anyway. Just let her give it a try. If she cannot handle it, you can then go with the usual plan.”
Papa Sheng suddenly felt that Grandpa Sheng must be insane to let Mu Qiqi handle the project.
Mu Qiqi…
She was just a student studying Forensic Science. What did she know?
Did she know about diamonds?
Did she know about management?
Did she know about business?
“Just do as I said. I want to see if Mu Qiqi has the talent and whether she can help ease Sheng Xiao’s burden.”
“Father, are you really going to acknowledge Mu Qiqi as part of the Sheng family? Yes, she is a Shen. But I have a headache every time I am reminded of her life story, especially the part that she grew up in the Mu family. Look at how Sheng Xiao spoils her. Aren’t you concerned at all?”
“I have my reason to let you make such arrangements. You should just do as I said.” Grandpa Sheng was lazy to explain.
Papa Sheng took a deep breath and nodded at last. “Yes.”
He still felt that it was a mission impossible for her.
Why did Grandpa Sheng do so? There were two reasons. First, he wanted to lower her confidence. He wanted to let her know how incapable she was, and she did not qualify to stay at Sheng Xiao’s side. Secondly, if Mu Qiqi was lucky enough to succeed, he would just give the credit to Sheng Minglan. He wanted to lay the path for Sheng Minglan to join Huang Yao.
To keep it simple, no matter it was a success or a failure, this was a trap set by Grandpa Sheng for Mu Qiqi!
Meanwhile, Mu Qiqi and the other two had just reached Jing Ting.
Sheng Xiao smartly made room for the two ladies. He went to the study so that the two ladies could have a heart-to-heart conversation.
Mu Qiqi took out two wine glasses and the gold card. She put the card on the table and pushed it toward Sheng Minglan. “This is a present from me and Xiaoxiao, you can count it as our funding for your business.”
Sheng Minglan’s eyes darkened. She did not take it. “I am not short of money.”
“The greater your strength, the greater your chance of winning. Even if you don’t need it now, you can keep it as a backup fund so that we can rest assured.”
“Xiao Qi…”
“Fourth Sister, I don’t have many friends. I was used to being bullied since young because I was surrounded by people who loved to mock me. Then, I met Qianqian. But you know what happened to her. So, we can’t see each other that often. I don’t want to make her sad when she sees me living so happily. And now, you are the only one who I can open up to. If you refuse this, then I will think that you do not think of me as your family.”
Sheng Minglan reconsidered and nodded. “I will count this as Sheng Xiao buying the shares of my company. I will tell the lawyer to do the paperwork. We should get this clear.”
“I don’t care how you use it.” Mu Qiqi smiled seeing her take the card. And they clinked their glasses.
“Actually, you can go out and make more friends. Is Sheng Xiao controlling you?”
Mu Qiqi shook her head. She did not care much about that. “Love is the most important to me. I would rather stay with Xiaoxiao than wasting my time with those insincere friends. So, I don’t think I need those kinds of friends to take up the time I can spend with Xiaoxiao.”
