Chapter 446: They Must Be Sisters In A Past Life

The Shen family was in a jovial mood on that same night.

Huang Yu and Mama Sheng would always prepare a scrumptious dinner for the family after they did their shopping, sharing all the good stuff they bought with the family.

That was especially true for today, with Sheng Xiao’s exclusive interview going online. The whole family was sitting together chatting away and gossiping at how everyone else was shaming the Sheng family.

“It’s so pleasant hearing everyone else’s critique. The whole situation alone is worth a toast—it really disgusts me, what with the Sheng family rubbing up against us recently.”

The Shen family and Huang Yu hence raised their glasses, and Mu Qiqi could not help telling Sheng Xiao as she watched the two matriarchs, “Mother must have been sisters with Second Aunt in their past life.”

“Is that not good?”

Mu Qiqi made a face but smiled. “Which two families could be close than ours? How is that not good? But I could only hope that the Sheng family could watch themselves and not do anything embarrassing.”

Sheng Xiao said nothing to that.

Mu Qiqi understood his silence and became silent as well, and simply returned to her food.

Actually, it would not matter—if the Sheng family, they would just keep getting humiliated...

***

On that night, Old Sheng was blanking out in his own study for the whole night.

Worried, Sixth Brother knocked on his door, which merely left the old man sneering—would he allow anything to happen to himself before he straightened Sheng Xiao out?

Still, the chess piece that was Feng Shanshan was useless to him now.

That was why he called her straight away and ended things with her.

For her part, Feng Shanshan felt that she was naïve after watching Sheng Xiao’s exclusive interview. How could someone like Sheng Xiao not fight back? That was why she recognized his style once was the interview went public and the Sheng family was made a laughing stock over all of Jianchuan.

That was why she expected Old Sheng to come looking for her too.

Soon, she found herself standing in front of the old man and the cheque he put on the table.

“Take this money and leave. However, don’t let anyone know about this. I’m sure you are a smart kid.”

“Are you not going to fight Mu Qiqi from now on?” Feng Shanshan asked the old man.

“That has nothing to do with you.” He replied.

The truth was that the old man held contempt towards people like Feng Shanshan down to his very bones, and the best control against them was money.

It was a pity for him that Feng Shanshan did not work seriously for him aside from the first few months.

“Very well. I wish you the best, Chairman Sheng.” Feng Shanshan said, taking the cheque and leaving the old man’s study.

Nonetheless, she ran into Gu Ziling before she could leave the Sheng’s house.

“Don’t you think Grandfather’s money burns your fingers? Don’t you think you’ve toyed with an old man’s feelings?”

“Chairman sought me out himself.” Feng Shanshan insisted.

“You should have made it clear you can’t beat Mu Qiqi... tricking an old man while earning so much over six months, do you really think you’re worth it?”

It seems that Gu Ziling was very keen on humiliating her.

“What, do you mean to take away the money, young mistress?” Feng Shanshan waved the cheque in her hand.

“I won’t go so far, and I wouldn’t obsess over it since Grandfather gave that to you. Just don’t show up in our house from now on—there is a gap between the status of different people.”

Feng Shanshan snickered and replied, “Young mistress, you are so different from Mu Qiqi even though you are both daughters from rich families. I also suddenly understood the Crown Prince’s choice back then now.”

“What are you trying to say?”

“You may be noble by birth, but you’re just a sellout.” With that, Feng Shanshan left the living room, money in hand.

As for Gu Ziling, not only had she lost to Mu Qiqi, she was even defeated by Feng Shanshan. After all Feng Shanshan has her pride that was built out of confidence in her own strength.

Was she someone to be trampled by a mere ornament like Gu Ziling?

Though she did not know it now, Gu Ziling would almost bend her knees before Feng Shanshan. It could not be helped—she made her own bed, and she had to sleep in it.

Feng Shanshan did not hold back with the money she got either. She rented a prestigious apartment with her friends, and invested the rest of her money.

She would treat Mu Qiqi to a meal with the money, but knowing her, she probably would not entertain her, which spared Feng Shanshan the trouble.

That said, if the Sheng family still wanted her to keep an eye on Mu Qiqi, she would only be too willing...

After all, how fun was it?

***

The Sheng family was mocked for the whole three days since Sheng Xiao’s interview was uploaded, and the old man did not leave the house through it all.

Sheng Kai was reluctant to make any public appearances as well, since he was didn’t want to see others pointing and gesturing at him aside from his own embarrassment.

Fortunately, Gu Ziling was encouraging him every day, and giving him company over drinks and idle chat, or he would never have escaped the trauma that was Sheng Xiao.

Still, unbeknownst to him, Gu Ziling already received the medical report about him, with the doctor telling her straightaway, “Madam, your husband has immune infertility. Things do not look good for him as it is now, which is why I suggest treatment as soon as possible because there may yet be hope.”

Gu Ziling felt like she had a rug pulled off her feet at that.

No wonder she was not getting pregnant after half a year.

“However, my husband does not have that much problem in that respect...”

“Not everyone has this problem, madam. It could become more distinct as the patient ages.”

Inside, Gu Ziling was crumbling. It took her great lengths to be married to such a person, and when she thought that it was enough for him to have power, she did not expect Sheng Kai to be infertile. Would she not be mocked if news of that spread?

Gu Ziling became frustrated at that very thought, because she just did not know what they were supposed to do. historical

Was she supposed to just walk away from Sheng Kai, just like that?

But after the last six months of being together and affection, she would be lying if she said she did not have feelings for Sheng Kai.

Even as she returned home conflicted, she deliberately made a detour when she saw that the door to Old Sheng’s study was open.

How was she supposed to answer if the old man asked about children again?

Was there any solution at all? Of course, while certain messed-up ideas had yet to cross Gu Ziling’s mind, one would eventually resort to drastic solutions when things became dire enough.

***

Both Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan were still concerned about the red-dress corpses.

However, it was an extremely complicated case because of its many connections.

But in Mu Qiqi’s perspective, they should be disregarding the previous cases and focus on solving the present one as soon as possible, and only follow up on the connections afterward.

And since it was not serial killings, they should investigate the cases separately...

That being said, Mu Qiqi could not help feeling pained when she remembered one of the victim’s parents back then.

The woman might have been older than she was, but she had a bright future ahead too. That was why Mu Qiqi wanted to get involved and contribute to solving the case too.

That being said, her King of Hell back home would never allow that.
