Chapter 321 - Regard It As If I Were Never Part of the Family

After Sheng Minghui was chased out of the Sheng family, there had been no news of her since then. And the Shengs did not dare to contact her.

However, Sheng Xiao’s sixth cousin, Sixth Brother, was very angry. Because Sheng Minghui was his younger sister.

And she had been chased out of the family by Grandpa Sheng just like that?

So, right when he stepped through the door, he confronted Grandpa Sheng. “Grandpa, although Seventh Sister is wrong, she is still a Sheng, a flesh and blood of the Sheng family. I cannot accept that you could actually chase out your own granddaughter for an outsider.”

“You should know what your sister did, don’t you?” asked Grandpa Sheng.

“Even so, you have already punished her. As her brother, can’t I even help her out? She is a young lady of the Sheng family. You just abandoned her on the streets, how could she survive?”

“Sixth Brother, watch your tongue!”

“Who in this family does not know that you favor Sheng Xiao the most? Even if he wants the moon now, you will go and get it for him and what’s more, just chasing your granddaughter out of the family?” Sixth Brother snorted. “Well then, you should have your dinner together and I shall go out and look for my sister.”

Grandpa Sheng couldn’t help but sigh.

He could not stop Sixth Brother.

Because he was her brother.

Just as Sixth Brother was about to leave Sheng Mansion, he bumped into Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi. When he saw the couple, he exploded. “You chased your cousin out of the Sheng family for this woman. Sheng Xiao, you are really too much.”

Sheng Xiao knew tonight’s dinner would not be a happy one after hearing his words. He asked him in return, “Is this the first time you’ve met me?”

“She is a troublesome woman. Do you think Grandpa will let her join the family for real? I am sure he will wait for a couple of years and tell you to break up after you are bored with each other. Sheng Xiao, just for the sake of a little girlfriend that will leave you in the future, you hurt your cousin. Is it worth it?”

Sheng Xiao held Mu Qiqi and rolled his eyes. “Who told you we will break up?”

“It will happen sooner or later.” Sixth Brother walked past them and left the mansion.

And at that time, Grandpa Sheng came, looking unhappy. “Sheng Xiao, come in.”

Sheng Xiao held Mu Qiqi and they followed Grandpa Sheng into the house and walked into his study.

“I don’t want Sixth Brother to get angry. So, it’s better for Qiqi to come less frequently. This can avoid conflict.”

In fact, Grandpa Sheng was already regretting his decision of driving Sheng Minghui away. She was his granddaughter. No matter how angry he was at that moment, his anger would subside eventually.

So, Grandpa Sheng was putting the entire blame on Mu Qiqi now.

“You made us come back just to tell us this?” Sheng Xiao’s eyes flashed with irritation. He was about to get angry.

“And, about the event, you did a good job.”

Such an insincere compliment. When Grandpa Sheng gave perfunctory praise, he must have forgotten how fussy he was before this.

“Are you regretting chasing Sheng Minghui out already?” Sheng Xiao pointed out directly. “So, you can’t be bothered to meet Qi’er. And after Sixth Brother confronted you, you became even more upset, right?”

“Sheng Xiao, don’t be like Sixth Brother, confronting me at this time. The dinner is canceled. You can go back now,” said Grandpa Sheng with much annoyance.

Who was a fickle man?

He was.

Mu Qiqi did not wish to see Xiaoxiao fight with Grandpa Sheng, so she nudged him. “Let’s go home, Xiaoxiao.”

Sheng Xiao did not say anything and held Mu Qiqi in his arms. “You can let Sixth Brother discuss and sign for the contract tomorrow and bring Sheng Minghui home. You can pretend as if nothing happened. You can just regard it as if I were never a part of this family.”

Having said that, Sheng Xiao turned around and marched out of the study.

But when he passed by the dining room and saw a feast on the table, he ordered the maids to overturn the table without a second thought. Nobody could eat if he did not!

Grandpa Sheng was angry, especially after Sheng Xiao had threatened him. Did he think that without him, the crown prince, Huang Yao would suffer?

He would let Sixth Brother take over Sheng Xiao’s work tomorrow.

Mama Sheng had no idea what happened. She just heard from the butler that Sixth Brother had stormed out angrily, then Sheng Xiao had quarreled with Grandpa Sheng. After that, Sheng Xiao had overturned the dining table.

Late at night, Grandpa Sheng ordered Sheng Xiao to hand over all the business contracts he was working on to Sixth Brother. Did it mean that the crown prince of Huang Yao had changed?

After Mama Sheng heard the whole story, she knew that it must be Grandpa Sheng’s impulsiveness that had caused this.

So, she did not advise her son to yield. Nobody wanted to see their own child suffer.

If Sixth Brother could do the things that Sheng Xiao had been doing all these years, he would have succeeded already instead of having nothing in his hands to show. But since Grandpa Sheng wanted to take the bet, then just let him be.

Anyway, she would not let her children give in just for the sake of the peace of this family.

…

On the way back, Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao. She was concerned. Because she had never seen him get so angry because of someone.

“Why? Are you blaming yourself for this?”

“No.” Mu QIqi shook her head. “I am just worried that you will fall sick if you get too angry.”

“It is not a waste that I love you so much.” Sheng Xiao chuckled and brought Mu Qiqi back to Jing Ting. Later, he gave her a laptop and his gold card. “You are also on vacation now, right? Let’s choose a nice place and we shall go there for a trip.”

“Are you serious?”

“Haven’t you heard Grandpa? Let Sixth Brother handle the business.” Sheng Xiao pinched Mu Qiqi’s chin. “I have always been wanting this!”

“Then, I will choose a place for real!”

Sheng Xiao pecked Mu Qiqi’s lips and nodded. “Choose a place that you like. Meanwhile, we shall see how capable Sixth Brother is.”

Was Grandpa Sheng trying to control Sheng Xiao? It meant that he did not know his grandson at all. Sheng Xiao was never a man who wanted wealth and power. He did not care about his status in Huang Yao.

If Grandpa Sheng tried to boycott him in Jianchuan, Sheng Xiao would make him regret it for the rest of his life.

He should know that Sheng Xiao was a headstrong man.

Since the Sheng family did now acknowledge Qi’er, then he would not need their acknowledgment as well.

At midnight, Sheng Minglan got the news from Jing Yun. She wanted to call Sheng Xiao to comfort him. But, she changed her mind. Just let Sheng Xiao teach Grandpa a lesson. Because this matter was obviously caused by Grandpa’s impulsiveness.

He was always irrational.

But when Sheng Xiao was his opponent, he would never win!

If Sixth Brother was so great, then just let him do it!
