Mu Qiqi and Jing Yun left the cemetery, leaving behind Mu Tangxue alone there.
Mu Tangxue cried in front of the tombstone so hard that she did not even realize that Mu Qiqi and Jing Yun had left.
When she turned around, and saw no one behind, and again she saw Mama’s Mu photo on the tombstone, she was terrified. She hurried along the path they took just now and ran towards the entrance of the cemetery, but the iron gate was already locked.
“Open the gate! Open the gate!”
There was nothing more terrifying than being alone in front of the tombstone of someone you killed.
Mu Tangxue realized that she could call someone for help. She took out her mobile phone and checked on her contacts. But who could she call?
Since she was still a Mu, she shamelessly made a call to Grandpa Mu.
Grandpa Mu had already been informed of the incident at Shen Mansion. So, he knew she would contact him. He purposely did not pick up Mu Tangxue’s calls. He waited until the tenth call and then only he answered the call nonchalantly.
“Grandpa? I am Xue’er…” As soon as Grandpa Mu picked up the phone call, Mu Tangxue started sobbing. She could not even speak clearly.
“What do you want?” Grandpa Mu said coldly.
“Grandpa, can you come and save me? I am in the cemetery alone. I am scared.”
“But it is time for me to go to bed,” said Grandpa Mu frankly.
“Grandpa, Grandpa, but I am a Mu. I am your granddaughter.”
“I have not forgotten how you trampled on me when you thought that you were a Shen. Miss Shen, you should call the Shen family. I am just an old man. I don’t have the wealth and power like the Shen family has. And I cannot save you,” Grandpa Mu replied calmly.
“Grandpa, I know I am wrong. I was too naïve. I should not have treated you that way. But I didn’t do it on purpose. I had been driven out of the Shen family now. I have no money and I am trapped in the cemetery. I am scared.”
“Your father doesn’t die even when he is in prison. You are just locked up in a cemetery. What should you be afraid of?”
“Grandpa, I beg you. Please… Please come and save me.”
In the end, Grandpa Mu replied, “Okay.”
“You promise?” Mu Tangxue stopped crying. She was delighted and felt that the cemetery did not seem to be that scary anymore.
“You wait there.” Grandpa Mu hung up the phone, switched off the light, and went to sleep.
As for Mu Tangxue, she thought that Grandpa Mu was really coming for her.
She really thought that the Mu family would send people to get her. But after an hour, the gate remained locked.
She was hoping.
But Grandpa Mu had shattered her hope and driven her to despair.
After leaving the cemetery, Mu Qiqi returned to Shen Mansion. Sheng Xiao’s car was still at the gate.
Mu Qiqi got out of Jing Yun’s car anxiously and got into Sheng Xiao’s car. Then, she apologized. “Xiaoxiao…”
“Have you vented your grudge?” Sheng Xiao held her chin and asked. His gaze was emotional, and it made Mu Qiqi’s heart beat fast.
“Are you angry?”
“You little one, you are not as obedient as you look,” replied Sheng Xiao.
“I know I have made you and Grandpa sad.”
“What if I tell you what you did is not going to benefit our relationship?”
Mu Qiqi was stunned. But after a few seconds, she said, “You will never put your hopes on such things. You like to plan things out. And I would rather die than to leave you. Let’s see who can separate us?”
Sheng Xiao listened to her and stroked her face gently. He smiled playfully and said, “I am glad you are aware of this.”
“Are you not angry?”
“Why should I be angry after you vented your anger?” Sheng Xiao let go of her and signaled her to get out of the car. “Then Shen family is just a test for you. I told you earlier that you don’t have to please anyone. By the way, do you really think that the Shens are that easy to please?”
“You are right. They might even hate me.”
“What did you do to Mu Tangxue?”
“I locked her up in the cemetery. I want her to repent her sin in front of Mommy,” replied Mu Qiqi.
“She can call someone for help.”
“Xiaoxiao, the Mu family will not save her,” said Mu Qiqi firmly. “You know how ruthless she was to Grandpa Mu when she thought that she was a Shen. She deserves the punishment she is facing now.”
Tonight, Mu Tangxue would want to be dead rather than being alive. She must be scared to death after tonight. More importantly, what was she going to depend on to get by living?
This was what she feared the most.
“Go inside and meet your grandfather. After all, he had sacrificed a lot for your sake.”
Mu Qiqi nodded. Her eyes were red. “I know. I have made things difficult for him.”
“You don’t have to worry about it much. Do you think he was not prepared for this?”
“Let’s go inside. Maybe, I have a way to get it around,” said Mu Qiqi.
Sheng Xiao patted Mu Qiqi’s head. This girl had indeed grown up. She could make up her mind independently on things already. Sheng Xiao’s heart was pounding. He found Mu Qiqi more attractive when she became more and more independent.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Sheng Xiao being motionless, Mu Qiqi asked.
“I am thinking what will happen to me if you leave me,” replied Sheng Xiao.
“What will happen then?”
“You will not have the chance to leave me. In return, you will own the world when you own me.” Sheng Xiao got out of the car. Mu Qiqi followed suit.
Why would she leave Sheng Xiao? She would not. What was the big deal even when they were hindered by their circumstance and their families?
Grandpa Shen did not expect the two would return to the mansion. Looking at Mu Qiqi’s apologetic face, he chuckled. “Now only you realize that you have gone overboard?”
“I am sorry, Grandpa. For causing a mess in the Shen family.”
“Do you think I will care about this? Your father had not just done this one ridiculous thing. I am already used to them. No matter what, I still love him the most. Do you know why?” Grandpa Shen did not wait for an answer. “Because he is the one who can understand me the best.”
“Qiqi, I hope you will understand me as well.”
“I hope you will not disappoint me.”
But she was fated to disappoint Grandpa Shen when she was in love with Sheng Xiao. Just like Su Zipei, she could do anything for Grandpa Shen. She would fight for his honor. But to let her leave Sheng Xiao, she could never do that.
“As for your uncles, they will grow to like you eventually. So, I hope you can come home every week. Can you do that for me?”
“Grandpa, I will try. But I have my own life as well.” Mu Qiqi gave an ambiguous answer.
“Well.” Grandpa Shen nodded. “Sure enough, you are just like your father. He never let people stop worrying about him. But he still had his way of living.”
“The lady of the Shen family should have her own unique charm.”
Amid the conversation, Second Aunt knocked on the door impatiently. Holding on her mobile phone, she said, “Father… Father, open the door. It’s an important matter.”
“What is it?” Grandpa Shen asked loudly, looking at the door.
“Eldest Sister is calling from the hospital. She said that Eldest Brother… Eldest Brother is awake!”
