Chapter 162 - Good That She Dares to Come
“Why did he do this to me? What did I do wrong?” Qianqian was too overwhelmed with the pain and cried loudly in Mu Qiqi’s arms. “How can they be so unscrupulous?”
“Because Duan Shao’an knows that you care.”
“I don’t. I don’t want to care anymore,” said Qianqian hysterically. “Qiqi, you are right. I am the rightful young lady of the Lu family. Why must I make concessions to that slut? Now that I have nothing left, I am not scared of anything!”
Mu Qiqi had never experienced such pain. Sheng Xiao was her first love and he pampered her. So, she found it difficult to empathize with Qianqian. But she knew perfectly well that Duan Shao’an was a total scum. He stunk from the inside to the outside. He was rubbish!
After crying for some time in Mu Qiqi’s arms, Qianqian started feeling sick. Perhaps it was because she was too emotional, the baby in her womb was reacting strongly.
“Qiqi, I feel… I think…”
“What’s wrong?” Mu Qiqi saw Qianqian’s face and reacted swiftly. She immediately took her to the hospital and sent her to the emergency department at top speed.
But still, the baby could not be saved.
Mu Qiqi used Qianqian’s mobile phone to contact her parents. When her parents arrived at the hospital, they looked anxious and angry.
“You must be Qiqi. Thank you for your help today,” Mama Lu was already crying badly.
“Aunt Lu, Qianqian will pull through.” Mu Qiqi comforted her.
“We have been close to the Duan family for generations. I could not believe that they will treat my daughter this way. I will not let them go easy this time. I must make that boy pay the price.”
“Qianqian is fine. She just needs care.”
“You have been with her here for so long. You must be exhausted. Go back and rest, child.” Mama Lu said to Mu Qiqi gratefully.
Mu Qiqi nodded and left the hospital. She walked to the basement parking lots and found Sheng Xiao’s car. After she got into the car, she remained silent for a long time. Then, she sighed. “Duan Shao’an is not even a human, Xiaoxiao.”
“I know everything. I am afraid there will be no peace between the two families anymore. Fortunately, Lu Qianqian’s family is wealthier than the Duan family. So, once her parents take action, Lu Qianqian will not suffer much.”
“The Lu family can easily put pressure on the Duan family in business.”
“Is the Lu family stronger?”
Sheng Xiao nodded as he was driving.
“I am glad to hear that. I wish the Duan family will be forced into bankruptcy.”
This was the first time Sheng Xiao heard Mu Qiqi cursed someone. He found it amusing. “Are you that angry?”
“You didn’t get to see how that scum and that slut look like when they were together.” Mu Qiqi was enraged.
Moreover, it was more terrifying that the news about Qianqian’s miscarriage spread so quickly that their social circle knew about it already. They knew she had gotten pregnant before getting married and now she had lost the baby. The rich ladies in the social circle liked to gossip very much. When they got hold of such scandals, they would be so glad to talk about it with their friends.
The Shen family received the news as well. And the most terrifying part they heard was that Mu Qiqi was Lu Qianqian’s best friend. Since Lu Qianqian had done such a disgraceful act, they thought that Mu Qiqi must not be any better than her friend.
Once Second Aunt heard about the scandal, she immediately reported it to Grandpa Shen. “Father, what kind of friends did your precious granddaughter make? Getting pregnant out of wedlock at the age of eighteen and now she has a miscarriage. The outsiders are talking bad things about the Shen family now.”
Grandpa Shen let her finish with her complaint and said, “I am going to visit my comrade. He is very sick. You should take care of the family with Junhan. Don’t cause trouble because of the gossip.”
“Father, I have never been this embarrassed outside.”
“There is a first time for everything.”
Grandpa Shen packed lightly. He planned to visit his comrade in another town. His friend was very sick. So, Grandpa Shen wanted to see him for the last time before he left this world.
Since the trip was not planned, Grandpa Shen did not have time to discuss Mu Qiqi’s matters. So, he gave Mu Qiqi a call before boarding the plane.
When Huang Yu saw Grandpa Shen leave without mentioning about how to tackle Mu Qiqi’s matters, she immediately went to Rong Junhan and said, “Eldest Sister, have you heard about the scandals these days?”
“Were you scolded by Father again? Don’t you know who Father cares the most now? Why did you go and cause the trouble yourself?” Rong Junhan sneered.
“Eldest Sister, you cannot imagine how embarrassed I was among the rich ladies. They purposely came to me and asked me if Mu Qiqi is the young lady of the Shen family. How should I answer that?”
“The matter about Eldest Brother is already very shameful!”
“Everyone is laughing about Mu Qiqi’s birth. If she does not behave decently, then the Shen family will be looked down upon.”
Huang Yu was clearly very angry. It was only natural for a person to get angry when she lost her face.
Rong Junhan glanced into the direction of Grandpa Shen’s study. She suddenly realized that Grandpa Shen had left the house. “When Father is here, he will definitely side with Mu Qiqi. Now that he is not around, we should give Mu Qiqi a proper lesson. After all, she is a Shen. She should learn the rules of the Shen family.”
“As her stepmother, I have the obligation to educate her.”
“Eldest Sister, you should have done this since long ago.”
Because this time, it was not only a matter in the Shen family, it would also affect the image of the Shen family in society. Therefore, Huang Yu really hoped that Rong Junhan would teach Mu Qiqi a good lesson.
With this idea, Rong Junhan called Mu Qiqi. “Come to Shen Mansion after class tomorrow.”
Mu Qiqi was puzzled when she got the call. She knew that Grandpa Shen was not in Jianchuan. So, she was sure it was not a good thing when Rong Junhan was looking for her.
“I am sorry, Aunt Rong. I am busy.” Mu Qiqi rejected her.
“I just want you to come and have dinner together. Do I not qualify to invite you to come? It is so difficult to invite you over for just a meal.”
Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao beside her. Sheng Xiao whispered, “There is nothing to be afraid of.”
Mu Qiqi thought the same. Although Grandpa Shen was not around, Shen Mansion was not a dangerous place. Although it was impossible for her to get along with Rong Junhan, she could still try to get along with the other Shens.
So, Mu Qiqi changed her mind in the end. “I will be there tomorrow.”
“Good that she dares to come.” Huang Yu was less angry when she knew Mu Qiqi would come. She wanted to make sure Mu Qiqi had a good time tomorrow.
What about Mu Qiqi?
She looked at Sheng Xiao. “You make me accept the invitation when I don’t even know the reason Rong Junhan is looking for me. Grandpa is not around. Are you expecting me to fight with them with my fists?”
“Can’t I protect you when your grandfather is not around?” Sheng Xiao asked. “You can just go. If the Shens mistreat you, I will let you give them a payback tenfold the force.”
