“You’ve snatched Sheng Xiao away. Why must you force me to the edge of the cliff even?” Gu Ziling’s emotions were a little bit out of control. And the guests now all focused on them.
Mu Qiqi was startled by Gu Ziling’s question.
She had never imagined that Gu Ziling would have such illusions in her mind.
Since when was Xiaoxiao hers?
“If it is not because of you seducing Sheng Xiao, would he leave the Sheng family and Huang Yao?”
The guests saw the fight at the entrance and stopped to watch. They did not expect that they would still be able to watch a good drama after the banquet.
“Previously, the Sheng family and the Shen family had cancelled the engagement already. And I had been invited to the Sheng family. I am the wife candidate chosen by Grandpa for Sheng Xiao. If it were not because of you, it would be me who is the wife of the CEO of Zhongteng, ME!”
The guests were dumbfounded when they heard her. Could it be that Sheng Xiao left the Sheng family because of some issues they did not know about? But everyone had always known that Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi were a couple. Since when had Miss Gu got in between them?”
Or, was Sheng Xiao in a relationship with Miss Gu before?
Mu Qiqi was speechless over Gu Ziling’s shamelessness. When she was about to answer…
“I only have Xiao Qi’er in my whole life.” Sheng Xiao got out of a black car at the roadside. He walked toward Mu Qiqi and held her arm.
He had planned to stay in the car and send Xiao Qi’er home quietly. But he did not expect he would see such a scene.
“Don’t talk as if we have a relationship. I don’t want to be related to you at all, not even a little. You have always been a tool of wishful thinking of Grandpa Sheng.”
The crowd were excited to see Sheng Xiao making an appearance. After all, he had become very secretive since he started working in Zhongteng. He seldom went to the entertainment venues now. Hence, being able to see Sheng Xiao here tonight was considered a very lucky thing to the ladies.
“I’ve always been Xiao Qi’s. She stole from you? Do you even have the right to say that?”
A red flush crept across her face and went down her neck.
“Second Sister-in-law, you are somebody else’s wife now. Please mind your identity. You can be shameless. But my Qi’er is not. We only belong to each other. Nobody has ever got in between us. Don’t think too highly of yourself, okay?”
Sheng Xiao showed no mercy in his words. He did not give Gu Ziling any respect.
“But she spread news about my father!” Gu Ziling shouted.
“It was me who broke the news. Because you are too annoying.”
The guests laughed.
Having said that, Sheng Xiao wrapped his arm around Mu Qiqi and turned around. “Let’s go home.”
“Gu Ziling, are you still sober even?” Seeing Gu Ziling want to pester them, Hu Ran quickly asked.
After hearing Hu Ran’s reminder, Gu Ziling only realized that the guests were still around. She almost broke down in tears.
Seeing so many people make fun of and criticize her, Gu Ziling rushed to the parking lot. Now that she had lost her face, she just wanted to get a hole and hide in there.
“Where did she get the courage to say that she had a relationship with Crown Prince?” Lu Qianqian wondered.
“She must have fantasized about it.” Mu Qiqi felt Sheng Xiao’s nudge with his palm, so she shrugged to Lu Qianqian. Then, she looked at Hu Ran. “Third Sister-in-law, you should get going now. If Gu Ziling reaches home first, it may be a risk to you.”
“Then I shall leave now. Take care.”
Mu Qiqi looked at the disappearing figures of Hu Ran and Gu Ziling and shook her head. A war was about to start in the Sheng family.
“Crown Prince, is it really you who spread the news?” Lu Qianqian looked at Sheng Xiao unbelievably.
Mu Qiqi glanced at her man and said, “Not quite likely. He is too busy to mess with the Gu family.”
Sheng Xiao did not say anything. But his face said it, his little one understood him best.
“But I had no idea that she had such illusions in her mind.”
“At that time, Grandpa cancelled the engagement with the Shen family and approached the Gu family. So she must have thought that she was the first wife.” Mu Qiqi harrumphed. “She is really something.”
Lu Qianqian shook her head unbelievably. “After she mentioned this in front of so many people, I’m afraid Second Young Master Sheng will not be able to face his wife again.”
“It’s none of our business.” Mu Qiqi shrugged again.
“Alright, I need to go home now.” Lu Qianqian started missing Lin Mu’an when she saw the couple being so lovey-dovey with each other. Lin Mu’an rarely took a vacation, so it was only natural for her wanting to be with her lover before she announced her inauguration.
“You can just tell me if you want to go back to hug your Lin Mu’an.”
Mu Qiqi hugged Sheng Xiao and Sheng Xiao just let her be. Soon, they got into the car and sped off.
Of course, the guests could see Sheng Xiao pamper Mu Qiqi even more now. Moreover, because he seldom came out in public now, he seemed even more compelling and noble. No wonder Gu Ziling wanted him.
After all, no ordinary people could relate to Sheng Xiao.
In the car, Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao and grabbed his coat. She harrumphed, “After so long, Gu Ziling was still holding a grudge for this.”
Sheng Xiao took the chance to tilt Mu Qiqi’s chin. He stared into her eyes. “What does it have to do with me?”
“Who let you look so handsome that people keep falling for you?”
“Must you be jealous of such things?”
Mu Qiqi snorted. She decided not to talk to this man tonight.
Sheng Xiao played with Mu Qiqi’s earlobe quietly. After a while, Mu Qiqi could not hold it anymore. “You are doing this on purpose. You know where my sensitive spot is!”
“I am.” Sheng Xiao casted a look at Xu Che. And the baby-faced driver drove the car into the quiet woods immediately. Then, he got out of the car to guard at the junction.
Mu Qiqi opened her eyes big. “Must you do it now? We’re almost home!”
“Do I need to pick a place when I want you?”
Mu Qiqi was speechless.
…
On the other hand, Gu Ziling went back to Sheng Mansion angrily. Because on the way back, Mama Gu had called her and told her to calm down the Sheng family first.
Thinking back on what happened tonight, Gu Ziling frowned. She knew she should go back to Sheng Mansion first for the sake of her future.
She could just make Hu Ran the scapegoat.
However, the Shengs were not stupid, especially Sheng Kai. But she cried all the way back to Sheng Mansion. And once she walked into the living room, she knelt before Grandpa Sheng. “Grandpa, please just chase me out of the house.”
“What’s wrong?” Grandpa Sheng had still no idea what had happened.
Right then, Hu Ran went into the living room.
