Chapter 340: To Me, You Are Less Than A Dog

Sixth Brother had wanted to find the Grandpa Sheng right away, although he ran into Sheng Xiao halfway through.

Sheng Xiao was clothed in a jet-black tailored suit, his figure appearing long and slender even as he stood on the Sheng residence’s corridor. “Sixth Brother, where are you going?”

Glaring at Sheng Xiao, Sixth Brother pointed at his nose and yelled, “You’ve got yourself that useless Mu Qiqi. Why are you trying to influence Fourth Sister’s life too?”

“I don’t get it. What happened to Fourth Sister?”

“Stop pretending…”

“By the way, our project manager in Africa had suddenly resigned. Could you help take his place?” Sheng Xiao suddenly smiled. “I’m just about to talk to the old man about it. Should we go together?”

“I’m asking you, where is Jing Yun? Why can’t I reach him?”

“I sent him out of town for an errand. Why?” Sheng Xiao asked, keeping calm since the very start.

“I wanted him to break up with Fourth Sister, but he ended up eloping with her. I’m going to tell Grandpa right now!”

“Alright, you could go, no one’s stopping you. But you should think about how things ended for Seventh Sister when she tried to hurt Fourth Sister.” Sheng Xiao said, watching Sixth Brother coldly. “You can tell the old man and he could get Jing Yun to vanish from this world, but you should know that in the end, how much Fourth Sister would hate you.”

“And in the end, what does Fourth Sister’s own affairs have to do with you?”

Sixth Brother returned Sheng Xiao’s gaze then, looking especially into his eyes—long and narrow, deep, and there was no telling what he was planning, making him utterly inscrutable.

“Jing Yun is only your assistant. He is nothing more than a dog of the Sheng family!”

“And he had at least accomplished things for the Sheng family. And what have you done?” Sheng Xiao asked in return. “Every coin you have is thanks to Jing Yun’s hard work. What right do you have to say that he’s a dog?’

“Is that so? How about him being a loyal, better breed of dog?”

“Pack your things for Africa, or your accounts will be frozen.” Sheng Xiao was certainly unwilling to tangle himself with Sixth Brother, since there was no peace between them over the matter of Seventh Sister now.”

“What right have you to decide whether I leave or stay?”

“Because I’m Huang Yao’s CEO!”

With that, Sheng Xiao turned and left. “By the way, doesn’t that count as one of your accomplishments?”

“And weren’t you saying that Jing Yun is a dog? To me, you’re less than a dog. And you have to hours to get your affairs straight before your flight, or you’re suffering the consequences.”

Sixth Brother was certainly upset. Sheng Xiao was clearly doing all that to stop the old man from finding out about Jing Yun and Fourth Sister.

A loyal dog, marrying a young lady from the Sheng family?

Most importantly, Jing Yun was Sheng Xiao’s assistant—Sixth Brother wouldn’t be bearing such a huge grudge otherwise.

Meanwhile, Sheng Xiao didn’t actually go to the old man’s study. He went to his mother’s room instead, who shook her head after learning what happened.

“That won’t stop Sixth Brother.”

“I wasn’t trying to stop him.” Sheng Xiao replied. “Let him make a fuss and annoy the old man in the process as well.”

“But what about Jing Yun and Fourth Sister? Did they really run away to hide? Elope?”

“Mom, Jing Yun’s is away for work. Fourth Sister is simply following him.”

“But how should you answer if the old man asks?” Mama Sheng asked anxiously.

“Just say that Jing Yun is accompanying Fourth Sister outstations for work… anything else could wait until they come back. The old man has to believe Sixth Brother even if he took it up with him, and you could just pretend you didn’t know.”

“But they would still have to face him later…”

“Shh….” Sheng Xiao gestured for her to be patient.

At the same time, Jing Yun and Sheng Minglan had checked in to a hotel. To smooth things up, Sheng Minglan had even used her company name to set up a meeting with the Xu couple.

The couple was quite surprised to receive the invitation since Sheng Minglan’s supermarket and their medical equipment business had no possibility for partnership, so why would she ask to meet them?

Still, they agreed to the meeting at six in the evening.

When she saw the reply, Sheng Minglan turned to Jing Yun. “Nervous?”

Jing Yun shook his head.

“I’ve even specially brought a photograph I took with you so that they trust me.”

Jing Yun reached out to hold her. Even if he didn’t say it, Sheng Minglan could feel that he was very nervous—even his body was shaking slightly.

“We’ll see in the evening.”

Back in the Sheng Family, Sixth Brother was packing his things up early in the morning, which caught Grandpa Sheng’s attention. “Where are you going?”

“Africa.” Sixth Brother replied unhappily. “Can’t help it. The CEO of Huang Yao has ordered that I join the project in Africa—what could I do?”

“Consider it training since your Eighth Brother asked you to go.”

“Grandfather, aren’t you curious why he would want me in Africa?”

“You think I wouldn’t know about the rift between you two? You still hold a grudge against him and Mu Qiqi over Seventh Sister.”

Sixth Brother couldn’t help laughing at that. “Our family is really luring the wolf into our own house. Grandpa, why don’t you ask Eighth Brother where our assistant or Fourth Sister is?”

The old man couldn’t help frowning at that. “What do you mean?”

“I mean that you might have a poor, uncultured grandson-in-law.”

“You mean… no way!” The old man was caught in disbelief—if there was really anything between Jing Yun and Fourth Sister it would have happened long ago over the years, and certainly not now.

“I saw them kissing with my own eyes, and now both of them are outstations for work. Are you really not worried, Grandpa?”

The old man’s body stiffened at that.

“It’s better for you to investigate this matter privately. They might already be living together too… Eighth Brother would only give you a thousand half-hearted answers if you asked him.”

Taking a deep breath, the old man then waved Sixth Brother off. “Hurry up and leave. Don’t be an eyesore.”

Sixth Brother merely snorted coldly.

He would never believe that Eighth Brother would be capable of marrying Jing Yun into the Sheng Family.

However, did Jing Yun really need that?

At the same time, Grandpa Sheng was left utterly troubled once he heard the news, and quickly sent someone to make inquiries at Sheng Minglan’s company.

And the result was that Sheng Minglan was really close with Jing Yun, and the two spent almost every day having lunch and getting off work.

How could that not be a relationship?

The truth, however, was that Sheng Xiao didn’t actually interfere with the old man’s investigation—or just a word with everyone with Sheng Minglan’s company would prevent him from learning anything.

And what could he do now, even if he knew?

Getting more upset with each passing thought, when the old man tried and failed to contact Jing Yun and Sheng Minglan, he promptly called Sheng Xiao’s cellphone. “Get home right now!”

Sheng Xiao hung up and went home with Mu Qiqi.

By then, the old man had already planted himself on the main seat of the table, his face exceedingly grave. historical

“You really keep the best things for your own people, child…”
