Chapter 577 - I’ll Make You Regret

“Apart from oppressing people with your power, what else can you do?” Gu Ziling clenched her fists and questioned Mu Qiqi. “You, Mu Qiqi, destroyed the Gu family. Are you still not satisfied? At the very least, Kai is Sheng Xiao’s brother. Must you be this ruthless? Is it not enough that you play with people’s minds at this point?”

After watching Gu Ziling’s emotional performance, Mu Qiqi held her head helplessly. It was as if this woman was hypnotized. No matter how people treated her, she would believe that they wanted to hurt her.

“I sincerely suggest you get a check-up in the psychiatry department. I strongly believe that your brain is broken.” Mu Qiqi pointed at her head when she said that to Gu Ziling.

“Eighth Brother, what are you trying to do? Are you planning to return to the Sheng family?” Sheng Kai was restricted by Xu Che, but he refused to give up. “If you are, just stop pretending. Just come back openly and stop playing with people’s hearts. You know how much hope Grandpa has for you. If you aren’t, please correct your position. You are the CEO of Zhongteng now and everyone in Jianchuan knows that you abandoned Grandpa and the Sheng family on his birthday. How do you expect the brothers to treat you? Yes, I admit that I’m nearly blinded by power. But do you think there isn’t any problem with your actions? Had you left the Sheng family far enough and stopped giving Third Brother and Grandpa false hope, the family wouldn’t have become like this. Can’t you spare us, the commoners, some dignity and life? You come and go as you wish. You must have never felt how we feel.”

After listening to Sheng Kai, Sheng Xiao ordered Xu Che. “Let him go.”

Xue Che immediately let go of Sheng Kai when he received the order.

“If you want me to leave, I will.” Sheng Xiao held Mu Qiqi’s hand and walked to Sheng Kai. Then, he warned him seriously. “If anything happens to that old man because of you, I’ll make you regret it.”

After that, Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi left the hospital.

“Xiaoxiao, are we not waiting for Grandpa to come out of the operating room?”

“That couple will only be putting on a show when we are there. It’s not good for the recovery of the old man,” Sheng Xiao answered.

“True.” Mu Qiqi nodded. “Rong Junhan was not as good as Gu Ziling in acting. She is almost comparable to Mu Tangxue. Thinking of this, the old man is so pitiful. He has no one to take care of him. I know Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law are not able to win against that woman.”

“That’s not necessarily true,” Sheng Xiao said with a deep voice.

“Let’s hope for the best for the old man.”

Because of what Sheng Xiao told him before the operation, Grandpa Sheng hoped that he could still live for a few more years.

Hence, his will to live was very strong.

It was very burdensome for a man his age to undergo the operation. But what made the doctors relieved was that the old man was strong and he made it until the end.

The four-hour operation was completed successfully.

But when Sheng Kai and his wife heard that Grandpa Sheng had made it through all the critical moments, their faces took on a complicated expression. It was unsure if they were happy or a bit disappointed.

“The recovery period is critical. I hope you can take good care of him.”

Meanwhile, Sheng Xiao received a call from the doctor.

“Chief Sheng, that brother of yours seems to not be very happy when he was told that Old Mr. Sheng has made it through. Do you need to inform the other members in the Sheng family to come?”

“They’re on their way. Thank you, doctor.” Sheng Xiao thanked him.

“This is the duty of a doctor. I should do this. Anyway, this was a major operation for his age, so he might be unconscious for some time. You don’t have to worry about it that much.”

Sheng Xiao had already informed Third Brother and the rest.

Soon, the whole family arrived at the hospital. At the same time, they complained about Sheng Xiao’s action.

“Grandpa is so ill and yet Eighth Brother hid it from us. He’s too much. What if something happened to Grandpa and we didn’t know about it? I wonder what intention he has.”

“Yeah, right. Luckily Grandpa is blessed by God. If anything happens to him, what will happen to us?”

Hearing these, Third Brother sneered. “I somehow agree with Eighth Brother’s action. Otherwise, Grandpa’s condition would only worsen before we finished our discussion. Besides, Grandpa made an excuse to come here. He obviously did not want us to know about it. Since it’s Grandpa’s choice, why are you blaming it on Eighth Brother? At least Eighth Brother hired the specialists to treat him. What about you?”

“Are you a member of the Sheng family or Zhongteng?” The Shengs started mocking Third Brother. “Do think that the family can’t do anything to you now that you are the CEO of Huang Yao?”

Hu Ran nudged Sheng Bowen, reminding him not to argue with these people, since nothing good would come out of it.

They were very good at reversing the truth.

“That’s enough. Grandpa has not woken up yet. Please be quiet.” Sheng Kai reminded the elders of the Sheng family.

“Third Brother, I think that your older brother is quite good at being the CEO of Huang Yao. Why don’t you swap places with him? Look at you. You don’t look like a person in power at all.”

“I’m totally fine with it. But Tiffany & Co. will terminate the contract immediately. Just let Second Brother fill the shortfall then,” Sheng Bowen answered nonchalantly.

The mentioned person glanced at Sheng Kai and choked.

“Don’t try to act almighty here. Grandpa’s health is the most important now.” Sheng Kai reminded Sheng Bowen.

Third Brother stopped talking. He knew what Hu Ran was trying to convey with her eyes.

“We don’t need so many people here. You can go back first. When Grandpa wakes up, I’ll inform you. Third Brother, aren’t you busy?”

Sheng Kai was obviously implying that he wanted to stay and the rest should leave.

“Then we shall trouble you to show our care for Grandpa.”

Having said that, Third Brother left with Hu Ran.

With the current situation, they would surely get into a big fight if they stayed until Grandpa woke up.

“Third Brother, you must lead the family properly. Otherwise, when Grandpa wakes up, he will keep on being tortured by these people, especially Second Brother and his wife. They are such troublemakers. This is not conducive for the recovery of Grandpa’s body.”

“Grandpa is very sober. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come for the operation alone without telling anyone. This family indeed needs a big clean-up.”
