"But if Qiqi was the daughter of the Shen family, then Mu Tangxue must be one as well. If Mu Qiqi's real identity was revealed, Mu Tangxue's identity would surface as well. What if things become the same as in the Mu family?"
Su Zipei was worried that Mu Qiqi would be treated just like how she was being treated by the Mu family.
But Sheng Xiao shook his head. He explained, "From what I know about the Shen family, if Mu Qiqi was really a member of the family, she would not be mistreated. I will definitely inform Qiqi about their characters and restrictions beforehand. Besides, Grandpa Shen is a righteous man. If he can be so famous in the military, he must be capable of knowing the right from wrong."
"That's good then."
"However, not everyone in the Shen family is kind. But if they want to bully Qiqi, they will have to ask if I agree to it first."
"I am relieved to hear your words." Su Zipei was very worried that Mu Qiqi's identity would lead her into another nightmare. If so, she would rather carry the secret into her grave without letting anyone find out.
"I will give you an answer in three days." Three days were sufficient for Sheng Xiao because he would not have trouble getting near the Shen family.
"Then how is Qiqi now?"
"She is still sleeping since she came back yesterday, " said Sheng Xiao, casually.
Su Zipei could rest assured of Mu Qiqi's safety when she was with Sheng Xiao. But if the poor girl had Sheng Xiao to back her up, she did not know what would become of her.
"Well then, I shall leave now. Please take good care of Qiqi. And I have to meet the Mu family once more!"
"Safe trip." Sheng Xiao stood up and sent Su Zipei out of the villa. Then, he called Jing Yun.
"Jing Yun, go to the hospital and get Shen Jianchuan's hair strand. Make sure it's his own hair."
"Young Master, Grandpa Sheng asked about you not going to Huang Yao today. He might throw a fit at you, " warned Jing Yun.
"Why? He should have already gotten used to me, shouldn't he?" Sheng Xiao snorted and said, "I will take care of him. You just need to do what I said. And fast."
"Yes, Young Master."
After hanging up, Sheng Xiao returned to the bedroom. He looked at Mu Qiqi who was still sleeping. Then, he found a strand of her hair on the pillow, picked it up and put it into a transparent plastic bag.
Mu Qiqi was not aware of this at all. She had yet to discover her real identity, and how her identity would bring a massive change to her life.
Sheng Xiao lifted her from the bed, along with the blanket. How overwhelmed he was right now, only he knew.
Anyhow, being a Shen was better than being a Mu.
If she was a Shen, he would be able to cover up their relationship more easily.
It's better than being a daughter of the enemy, although it wasn't better for him to become her uncle.
Mu Qiqi woke up in Sheng Xiao's arms. Seeing herself being lifted by Sheng Xiao, she was puzzled.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
"Since you are awake, just get up." Sheng Xiao put her down and stood up.
When Mu Qiqi was trying to get up, her legs gave way and she tumbled. It was perhaps the side effect of having too much sex.
Mu Qiqi did not expect that Sheng Xiao would devour her in this kind of situation.
"I can't get up."
Mu Qiqi looked very shy right now and her eyes were red. She also felt awkward being nude, even though Sheng Xiao had seen her body many times.
Sheng Xiao smiled and carried Mu Qiqi on his shoulder. He then put her down on the washstand. Mu Qiqi thought he was going to want her and resisted.
Sheng Xiao sneered. He put his hands on her shoulders and said, "Do you think I will have the urge to want you seeing you like this?"
Mu Qiqi turned around and saw the kiss marks all over her body.
Then, she thought of Mama Mu.
"Mommy..."
"She's gone and is never going to come back again. You should now think about how to send her away in peace." Sheng Xiao took a towel and wiped off her tears.
"If you cannot let go of your past and losses, I will look down on you."
Mu Qiqi shook her head. Although she was sad deep down, she knew that it was caused by the Mu family.
"How's Aunt?"
"She is meeting the Mu family. They are not letting Aunt Su claim your mother's body."
"Xiaoxiao, send me there." Mu Qiqi stared firmly into his eyes. She might be incapable of handling other matters, but now it was about her mother. She would not let the Mu family touch her mother ever again, especially Mu Tangxue.
...
The house of the Mu family was burnt into ashes. Knowing it could not be rebuilt in such a short time, Su Zipei went straight to the Mu Group.
She wanted to rush directly to Papa Mu's office, but the receptionist would not let her.
Papa Mu would definitely not see her if he was guilty. Even if he was not, he would not let Su Zipei make a fuss in his company. So, Su Zipei could only contact Grandpa Mu.
Mu Tangxue had nowhere else to hide. She must be with the old man.
Su Zipei took a cab to Grandpa Mu's house. Although she knew that Grandpa Mu might refuse to meet her, she still asked the guards to pass her message.
Weirdly enough, Grandpa Mu agreed to meet her.
Mu Tangxue was currently in Grandpa Mu's house. When her eyes met with Su Zipei's, she felt very emotional.
"Zipei, I am very sorry for what happened to Ziqing, " said Grandpa Mu, who was sitting in the living room.
Su Zipei walked to the front of Grandpa Mu. She bowed to him and said, "I have come here today for my sister's body. Since my sister and my brother-in-law were divorced, I think I have the right to claim her body and to give her a proper funeral. But apparently, my brother-in-law is unwilling to give in."
"Zipei, I am afraid I have no power to decide on this."
"After the swapping of the exam papers, the Mu family had abandoned my sister. They even wanted to make my sister take the blame. Am I right?" Su Zipei raked up the past as she knew Grandpa Mu would not give in easily.
"When my sister pleaded for her innocence, none of you helped her. It was me who got her a lawyer and fought for the lightest punishment. Am I right?"
"Yes, but..."
"My sister was too disappointed and swore to divorce Papa Mu after she got out of the detention center and she really did it. But after she went to the house to discuss the divorce agreement, she died in that house. How could I not suspect that the fire was planned?"
