Chapter 166 - Can’t I Even Take Control in My Territory?
“What are you waiting for? Make her kneel.”
Two men grabbed Mu Qiqi and wanted to force her to kneel. Grandpa Shen who was standing at the door since earlier could not hold it any longer and made his appearance.
“Stop it!”
Upon hearing Grandpa Shen’s voice, everyone was stunned. They gasped and quickly stood up.
Grandpa Shen walked to the hall from behind the folding screen. He looked at everybody.
Then, he walked toward Rong Junhan. Before she could talk, he slapped her hard in her face. “Who are you to act so high and mighty in my house?”
“Father…”
“Father…”
Second Elder and Huang Yu were shocked. “She is Eldest Sister. She is the one who contributed a lot to the Shen family.”
“She has helped you a lot. But did she help me in any way? Taking care of my son? He is just her fiancée. Have I ever forced her to do so? Even if she has helped Jianchuan a lot, he should be the one thanking her. This is my house! How dare she act this way in my house? She has not married into the family yet!”
Second Elder and his wife became speechless.
“Are you all going to change your surname to Rong after I die?”
“Father, please calm down. Eldest Sister is just trying to remind Qiqi of the family rules!” Third Aunt looked as if she was trying to calm Grandpa Shen down. But she was actually making him angrier. “We haven’t even started the conversation and she is already making her kneel. I can’t seem to understand this. But I did not dare to speak up.”
Grandpa Shen was enraged. Everyone did not dare to even breathe. They were terrified.
Rong Junhan was especially terrified. She stood at the side. Her lips were trembling out of fear, and anger.
“Once I arrived at Jianchuan this morning, I heard that you were fired up to get Qiqi here. I knew you were looking for a chance to bully Qiqi so I purposely went to have tea at Sheng Mansion. I wanted to see if you, being the elders, had any sense of shame.”
“I just stood at the door for a short moment and I could already hear five adults, plus the two thugs, were bullying an eighteen-year-old girl!”
“Nice one, you guys!”
Grandpa Shen laughed out of anger. “Are you my good sons? I can’t believe what you have done!”
“Father, you can’t say we are totally wrong. The Shen family is humiliated because of the friendship between Mu Qiqi and Lu Qianqian. It is a fact.”
“Why are you refuting me?” Grandpa Shen was even angrier after Huang Yu said that. He exploded. “Your father is a murderer. Why are you not a murderer? You learn nothing but to treat others strictly and treat yourself with leniency? Did I cause you any trouble because of all the gossip when you married into the Shen family?”
Huang Yu was dumbfounded. She did not dare to say anything more.
Her eyes filled with tears and she nearly cried.
“Don’t pretend in front of me. If you want to bully Qiqi, you will have to wait until the day I cannot move. Then you can try going over my head.”
“Before this, Mu Tangxue had said something very true although she was indeed a horrible one. You respect Rong Junhan and treat her like god. But to me, she is completely an outsider in this family.”
“Let me warn you. If you, Jinyun, and your wife, can no longer tell the right and wrong apart and damage the relationship in the family, I will make you move out of the family. I don’t want traitors in my family!”
“As for you two, Third, and your wife, behave yourself. If you get into this kind of thing again, I will drive you out as well.”
Grandpa Shen was furious this time. So, the Shen brothers quickly kneeled in front of him.
Huang Yu did not move. But Third Aunt was so scared that she dropped her knees on the floor.
“Can’t I even take control in my territory?”
“Father, how much have I contributed to the Shen family?” Rong Junhan said in distress.
“Are you really doing these for the Shen family? Who was the one who bailed your brother out of the jail when he was caught for breaking someone’s leg?”
“Your family nearly went bankrupt three times. who helped you to pull through?”
“And your dance academy. Who got the land for you to build it?”
“Do you even dare to say you have got nothing from the Shen family?”
Rong Junhan was dumbfounded.
It was all done by Second Elder How did Grandpa Shen know about those things?
“Is there anything I do not know happening in my family?”
“I would say that Second Brother and Second Sister have returned the favor to Eldest Sister for taking care of Eldest Brother.” Third Aunt sneered.
“Shut up! Let me remind you again. Treat Qiqi nicely when she comes here in the future. If you bully her together again, don’t call me your father again. You can just acknowledge Rong Junhan as your sister-in-law.”
After giving them the ultimate warning, Grandpa Shen did not wish to see their faces anymore. He beckoned to Qiqi. “Xiao Qi, come with me.”
Mu Qiqi shook her hands off the thugs and walked toward Grandpa Shen to help him up. “Grandpa.”
“Let’s go to my study. I don’t want to see their faces now.”
Grandpa Shen was actually giving the Shens another blow on their heads when he walked away with Mu Qiqi.
Once Grandpa Shen left the hall, Third Aunt said to Huang Yu and Rong Junhan. “You wanted to take the advantage of Father’s absence to humiliate her. But you did not expect that it so happened that Father had been waiting for you to jump into the trap.”
“I did not waste my time coming here. Otherwise I would miss such a great drama.”
After that, Third Elder and his wife went back to their room. Huang Yu quickly helped Rong Junhan up. “Don’t be sad, Eldest Sister. Don’t take Father’s words seriously.”
“I am fine. But you should not forgive Father for saying such ruthless things. If not, I will really become a sinner.”
Rong Junhan was referring to Grandpa Shen calling Huang Yu’s father a murderer.
Huang Yu shook her head. Although she was shocked at first, she knew she had to reflect on her mistakes.
She felt that she seemed to be too harsh on Mu Qiqi.
“Never mind. We can put Mu Qiqi’s matters aside first. There are plenty of chances in the future. She will not be this lucky next time. I don’t think the old man can protect her all the time!”
…
When Grandpa Shen entered his study, he sat on his chair crossly.
Mu Qiqi walked toward Grandpa Shen and said apologetically. “If I knew you would be this angry, I wouldn’t have come here. I knew you were having tea in Sheng Mansion.”
“Of course, I know you would know. Sheng Xiao must have told you,” said Grandpa Shen. “Silly girl, you knew that I was testing them, and you would get hurt, but still you came.”
“If I don’t come, Grandpa will have no place to vent out your anger. Won’t you feel uncomfortable that way?” Mu Qiqi chuckled. “Besides, I am fine. You heard me. I did not let them win.”
“Speaking of that, I am really angry that my sons have been bewitched by their wives. They are just so gullible!”
