Chapter 599: I Can’t Afford to Offend You

Mu Qiqi had a feeling that the old man was giving his last words.

“If you want to see our babies, you have to make sure that you are healthy at least for these two years. Otherwise, why should I show it to you?” Mu Qiqi acted proudly.

Grandpa Sheng laughed and raised his hand with much effort. “Just go. I know you have class.”

Mu Qiqi raised her head and looked at Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao blinked at her.

“Then I will go now. You accompany him.”

Sheng Xiao nodded and stroked her hair. Only then, he let her go.

Seeing them in such a good relationship even after such a long time, Grandpa Sheng admitted his mistake. “When you fell in love with this girl, I thought you were just fooling around. After all, you were never serious about anything, or with any other woman. But back then, you could even leave the family for the sake of this little girl. Only then I realized that there is an affectionate man among the grandchildren of the Sheng family. You are different from the others. You made me feel frustrated. I wanted to control you, but in the end, I failed. You are my most trusted grandson. Even though I hated you once, it does not change the fact that you are the one I want to get close to the most. Eighth Brother, promise me one last thing.”

Hearing this, Sheng Xiao grabbed Grandpa Sheng’s hands. “If you can overcome this, I will visit you often. If you can’t, I will hate you.”

Hearing Sheng Xiao’s words, Grandpa Sheng said weakly, “Doctor... get a doctor.”

Sheng Xiao stood up. As he was about to get a doctor, the door of the ward opened suddenly. Mu Qiqi stood there with the doctor.

“Why did you come back?”

“I think something’s not right with Grandpa. I’m worried so I called the doctor. I will leave after making sure that he is alright.”

“Chief Sheng, please wait outside,” said the doctor.

Sheng Xiao nodded and waited outside with Mu Qiqi.

She knew that he cared and worried for him even if he did not say anything. “Don’t worry. He’ll be fine.”

“Although I don’t like him, he must live, so that I can continue to hate him!”

‘Liar!’

Mu Qiqi did not expose him. Instead, she held his hand and waited with him. After ten minutes, the doctor came out and said, “Luckily, you discovered it early. He is fine now, but remember, he cannot get stressed up anymore. He must rest quietly in the hospital.”

It was because Grandpa Sheng heard Sheng Xiao’s words that his desire to live was so strong.

Mu Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I can go to campus now.”

Sheng Xiao put his hand around Mu Qiqi’s waist and kissed her forehead. “Go. Since you are very sensible today, I will reward you tonight.”

Mu Qiqi smiled and left the hospital with a peace of mind.

Sheng Xiao returned to the ward. When he saw Grandpa Sheng lying on the bed, he slowly accepted that this old man was no longer the nasty man that kept fighting with him.

“I survived once more.”

“It’s Qi’er who brought the doctor here,” said Sheng Xiao.

“That girl is a blessed person!”

“The grandson who left the Sheng family is still a grandson. I will go to the state banquet on New Year’s Eve. Is this something you can be happy and proud of?”

Grandpa Sheng looked at Sheng Xiao in surprise after hearing his words. “Of course.”

“Then stay alive so that you can see more.”

After that, Sheng Xiao left the hospital, and Xu Che had arranged to transfer the butler back to Jianchuan. It would be best for the old man to see him.

Soon after, Huang Yao issued an announcement of the decision to kick Sheng Kai out of the company. He was once the glorious second crown prince of Huang Yao, but now he ended up like this. It was really embarrassing.

Of course, the Sheng family would not tell the public the bad things Sheng Kai had done. Although there were many speculations among the outsiders, Huang Yao did not respond.

Now, the burden of managing Huang Yao had completely fallen on Sheng Bowen’s shoulders.

But could he survive in the field of business with his loyal and righteous character?

...

When Mu Qiqi arrived on campus, it was already the second class in the morning. Seeing her late, Feng Shanshan couldn’t help saying, “It looks like you really don’t want to compete with me. It’s such an important lecture, but you’re able to simply skip it.”

“There’s something more important than this.” Mu Qiqi put her bag down.

“You’re a person from the higher society. I can’t afford to offend you.”

“What did you say? I heard a lot about you on the way here. It seemed like Officer Tang sent you here this morning?”

“I fell down yesterday. He was only willing to help me after I begged him for so long. Stop poking fun at me already,” Feng Shanshan said. “With his EQ, do you think he will take the initiative to do such things?”

“You live next door. Maybe you have already made progress and just don’t want to tell me.”

Feng Shanshan cast a weird look at Mu Qiqi.

She once said that her instinct was not very accurate.

“It’s not what you think,” Feng Shanshan said helplessly.

After Mu Qiqi heard her, she laughed and stopped. Feng Shanshan was a tight-lipped person. She knew she would not be able to get anything just by asking. Unless, she had evidence.

“How’s the case?”

“You’ve missed out on too many details. I don’t have the desire to tell you at all.” Feng Shanshan blinked at her proudly. “You can go and see it for yourself later.”

Mu Qiqi nodded. After school, they went to the police station.

Right then, the professor was holding a sharp knife, trying to extract any fingerprint or DNA sample from it.

“You’ve found the weapon? Is Mrs. Xiao the murderer?”

“She said it was her, but she was shielding her lover,” said the professor to Feng Shanshan.

“Isn’t she a devotee of Buddhism?”

“That’s the weird side of that person. She could not stand the loneliness and got a lover, but she opposed the relationship between her daughter and Chen Qiao. On the night they quarrelled, Xiao Yue saw her mother ‘doing the deed’ with him. After that, Xiao Yue told Chen Qiao that she wanted to expose the secret. In order to keep her daughter by her side forever, she teamed up with her lover to knock her daughter and Chen Qiao out. Then, they tattooed on their bodies, cut them into pieces, and disposed of their bodies.”

“What about the cellar and the temple?”

“The cellar is the primary crime scene where they dismembered the bodies. As for the temple, it was built with Mrs. Xiao’s lover’s money. They met each other because of Buddhism, and they dated on the hill because it was hidden. As for the murals, it was drawn because Mrs. Xiao wanted to curse her ex-husband.”

After hearing the whole story, Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan suddenly felt that the whole world was crazy. “She doesn’t believe in Buddhism at all. What she believes in are demons.”
