Chapter 163 - I Dare!
“Make sure you keep your promise.”
Sheng Xiao pinched Mu Qiqi’s nose gently. “Of course, but you still need to know the reason they want to meet you.”
“Do you know the reason?”
“The news about the miscarriage of your friend has spread everywhere. The Shens must be embarrassed.” Sheng Xiao leaned against the balcony and said, “They must be planning to lecture you and tell you not to be close to Lu Qianqian when you get there.”
“The news about Qianqian’s miscarriage has spread?” Mu Qiqi stood up and looked at Sheng Xiao.
“Our social circle is small. It is easy to know this kind of thing.”
Without thinking, Mu Qiqi took out her mobile and called Qianqian.
Soon, Qianqian answered the call. She sounded weak. “Qiqi?”
“Are you alright, Qianqian?”
“I am fine. I can get off the bed and walk a bit already,” said Lu Qianqian. “But if you are referring to the matter about my pregnancy before marriage, I can tell you I am really upset being laughed at by the people.”
“Qianqian…”
“It was that slut who spread the news.” Lu Qianqian told Mu Qiqi. Her voice was filled with sadness. “Now all the rich ladies are laughing behind me, saying I am a shameless broken shoe.”
“Qianqian!”
“Don’t worry, I will not let her win. Since the baby is gone, I will take that as the decision God made for me.” Qianqian was almost crying when she said that. “I thought it through last night. I thought that I have not affected others when I love someone this way. But I have hurt my parents and made them worried. I am not filial to let them be looked down upon by the other people. I will not be this silly again.”
After listening to Qianqian’s words, Mu Qiqi was relieved. “Qianqian, I have experienced a lot of changes in my life as well. I know how that feels. So, let’s cheer for both of us and make those people who have bullied or laughed at us not dare to look at us directly again.”
“Qiqi, I will.”
“I believe in you.” Mu Qiqi nodded.
“I will rest now. Chat later.”
After the phone call, Mu Qiqi was relieved. Now, she had had the courage to go to Shen Mansion. There was nothing to be afraid of, whether it was Rong Junhan or Huang Yu. What did it matter that they did not acknowledge her?
“Xiaoxiao, you must come and save me tomorrow. They must be going to bully me, and I will definitely fight back. There will be many people there. I am scared that I will be overpowered!”
After Sheng Xiao listened to her words, he lifted Mu Qiqi onto his shoulders and headed to the bedroom. “In this world, only I can bully you.”
Then, he smacked Mu Qiqi on her soft and round bottoms.
On the other hand, Qianqian hung up the phone call abruptly because the Duan family had dragged Duan Shao’an to visit Lu Qianqian in the hospital.
Duan Shao’an’s face showed great unwillingness. But he could not disobey his parents.
“You still have the face to come here.” Mama Lu nearly could not control herself and wanted to charge forward. But he was stopped by Papa Lu in the nick of time.
“Calm down.”
“In-law, I am very sorry for what happened to Qianqian. That is why I bring Shao’an along to apologize.” The Duan family knew that they were in the wrong, so they let Mama Lu vent her anger.
But Lu Qianqian who was laying on the bed broke the silence and said, “Just cancel the engagement.”
Everyone stared at Lu Qianqian, including Duan Shao’an.
Because this woman had been following him around all these years. She never stopped chasing after him no matter how he had driven her away. But now, she actually offered to cancel the engagement?
Or was it just her strategy of deferring?
“There is no need to do that. I will marry you as you wish.”
“But I don’t want to marry you.” Lu Qianqian shouted with her trembling voice. “You can just marry Bai Xinlan.”
“Are you serious? Don’t regret it later!”
“Your family should be the one regretting it. All these years, my mother has been helping your family because she knows that I love you. But starting from now on, you will get nothing from us.” Lu Qianqian acted tough. She could not stand seeing her mother crying beside her bed last night.
“Qianqian, don’t be angry. Shao’an does not mean it! I promise you…”
“Aunt, don’t promise me anything. I went to look for your son carrying his baby in my womb. But he was living together with another woman. Do you think I am that cheap?” Lu Qianqian held back her tears and said to Mama Duan.
“Shao’an, is what Qianqian said the truth?”
“So what if…” Before Duan Shao’an could finish his words, Mama Duan gave him a big slap on his face. “You are a beast! Qianqian is such a good girl and she loved you for so many years. How could you disappoint her?”
“I am just eighteen and I am stuck with her forever. If you were me, will you be willing to accept this fate?”
“You don’t have to. From this day onward, we will only be enemies. Nothing else.” Lu Qianqian clenched her teeth as she said it.
“Great! Then I will be able to live my life freely.”
“Get out!” Lu Qianqian grabbed the bowl on the bedside table and threw it at Duan Shao’an. “Duan Shao’an, when we have no relationship anymore, I will never condone that third wheel again. Trust me, I will use the power of the Lu family to make her life a living hell!”
“Don’t you dare!”
“I dare!”
In order not to intensify the hatred between the two, Mama Duan dragged Duan Shao’an out of the ward. At that moment, Lu Qianqian’s whole body was shaking. She was very emotional.
“Qianqian, calm down. Listen to me, don’t get angry anymore,” said Mama Lu.
“Dad, Mum, starting from today, you can do whatever you want to the Duan family. You don’t have to hold back because of me.” Lu Qianqian grabbed her mother’s shoulders and said, “I want those who bullied me to pay their prices.”
“It is good that you have come around.” Papa Lu was very pleased. “Don’t worry. Since that scum has hurt my daughter, I will make sure the Duan family vanishes from Jianchuan!”
Lu Qianqian nodded. She would not be idle as well. Since that slut Bai Xinlan robbed her man so blatantly, she would make her suffer!
…
After Mu Qiqi knew about the incident in the ward, she felt extraordinarily pleased.
They chatted very happily until midnight.
“Qianqian, you should treat the scum cruelly since long ago. You should slap his face hard again and again.
“You should not give in to the Shen family as well. We are rich young ladies, aren’t we? If anyone bullies us, we will punch them back. They deserve it because they are too arrogant!” Lu Qianqian encouraged Mu Qiqi. “Don’t forget that you still have the crown prince. If you don’t show them your power, you should just quit being the crown princess!”
