Chapter 923: Can You Call Me ‘Daddy’?
“Yes, we have to let the people of Jiachuan know, especially the Sheng family.” Song Jiang felt happy just thinking about it. Someone from the Sheng family had become his son-in-law, and he worked for him. “Ah Kai, let’s see if you can be ruthless.”
“I left the Sheng family a long time ago. I’m not a member of the Sheng family anymore.” Sheng Kai understood Song Qiaozhi’s purpose. He wanted Song Jiang to completely cut off his relationship with the Sheng family so that he could gain Song Jiang’s trust as soon as possible.
“Good, that’s great.” Song Jiang was very satisfied with Sheng Kai’s reaction.
“Then, I’ll find a suitable time to make this news public.”
Sheng Kai and Song Qiaozhi looked at each other. Song Qiaozhi’s eyes were filled with guilt. After all, Sheng Kai would no longer have any family in the future. However, this way, he would be safer and not have to be restricted by her father.
Therefore, on the way back to the apartment, Song Qiaozhi couldn’t help but apologize to Sheng Kai. “I’m sorry. I didn’t ask you and acted on my own.”
“It’s only a matter of time. I don’t care.” Sheng Kai appeared very calm. “This is for the best.”
“Ah Kai, I only have you, and you only have me. No matter what happens in the future, I will never leave you, and I will never give up on you.”
Sheng Kai drove the car and turned his head to smile at Song Qiaozhi. “I know.”
Soon, the news of the two getting married spread around Jianchuan.
The Song family had fought against Zhongteng before, and Mu Qiqi went to cause trouble at Song Bozhi’s speech. The two families clearly had a grudge against each other, but now, the Song family announced that Sheng Kai was about to become their son-in-law.
When Old Master Sheng found out about this, he was so angry that he almost got sent back to the hospital.
Although he knew that Sheng Kai could not be saved, he still felt extremely heartbroken when he saw the news and knew that Sheng Kai was going to acknowledge the thief as his father.
“What a sin.”
The housekeeper gave Sheng Xiao a call. Of course, the task of persuading people now mainly fell to Mu Qiqi. Who asked these two old men to feel the most heartache for her now?
The matter of Elder Liu and the Shen family was not over yet. Now that the news of Sheng Kai had spread, Mu Qiqi felt that she needed three heads and six arms. Even so, she still rushed to the Sheng family immediately with a small belly and wind in her steps.
“You’re carrying my great-grandson now. Walk slowly.”
Mu Qiqi sat down on the sofa, her whole body steaming. “If you want me to feel better, don’t be depressed. You’re already so old, you always make people feel uneasy.”
“Didn’t I call Eighth Brother? Why are you here instead?” Old Master Sheng sounded like he disliked it.
“Your Eighth Brother is lazy now. He knows that both of you are on my side, so he just watches me every day dealing with you two old geezers.”
“Who’s on your side?” Old Master Sheng was lying on the bed, but he still refused to give in.
“I’m not going to argue with you either. Old man, I’ll talk to you about Sheng Kai. Since you’ve let him go, then let him go completely. Don’t hold on to him.
“Whatever he wants, it’s his own choice. He has his own pride.
“Since the Sheng family has become the son-in-law of the Song family, then so be it. He can live with himself, so don’t worry about him. It’s not that Xiao Xiao couldn’t drag Sheng Kai out. He was the one who didn’t want to. Since it’s his choice, I think you should trust him. Whether it’s right or wrong, he’s already in his thirties. Shouldn’t he bear the consequences himself?
“What can you do if you’re so anxious and want to ruin the marriage? It’s useless to keep a person who doesn’t care about the Sheng family. You have so many children and grandchildren. Just treat it as if he was broken in your early years and turn a blind eye. There’s no need to make things difficult for yourself.
“I promise I’ll make up for it with what’s in my stomach in a few months, okay?”
After hearing this, the old man leaned back on the bed and was quiet. After a long while, he said, “I just want to see him and ask him in person if that’s his sincere choice.”
“The Song family is not a good place to stay. If you want to make things difficult for him, you can go.”
After hearing this, the old man was completely disappointed.
“How about this? If I get the chance to see him, I’ll ask him on your behalf. On the condition that you have to take your medicine and recuperate.”
For some reason, the older he got, the more childlike he became.
Old Master Shen and Old Master Sheng were the same.
Although the two of them were not the kind of people who valued sons over daughters, at this age, they felt that their daughters and granddaughters were good and thoughtful.
“Alright,” Old Master Sheng agreed straightforwardly.
Mu Qiqi had pacified the old man. She waited for him to fall asleep before leaving the Sheng family’s home. Now that Old Master Sheng saw Mu Qiqi, he was much more courteous. After all, he had no choice but to accept it. How many people in the family could control the old man now?
She was the only one. Even Eighth Brother’s words had no power.
Mu Qiqi went home. When she saw Sheng Xiao packing up their things, she suddenly remembered that he was going to Luo Hai to attend Elder Liu’s funeral.
“The old man is fine now. It’s just wishful thinking on his part.”
“Thank you for your hard work.” Sheng Xiao answered her as he packed up his things.
“Actually, Xiao Xiao, I don’t understand either. Why did Sheng Kai do that?” In order to drag him out of the pit, Sheng Xiao had offered very generous conditions. He had even said to let bygones be bygones and let him have his dignity, but he didn’t want anything.
Did he really hate the Sheng family that much?
However, Mu Qiqi did not feel that Sheng Kai was aggressive toward the Sheng family. This made her feel that it was very strange.
“There must be someone he wants to protect.”
“You mean Song Qiaozhi?” When did these two people become sworn brothers?
Moreover, she could not understand Song Qiaozhi. She could not tell if she was good or bad. She felt that she hid many secrets.
After Sheng Xiao packed his things, he took a seat on the sofa and waved at Mu Qiqi.
Mu Qiqi sat down in Sheng Xiao’s arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Is there a possibility that Sheng Kai is a spy?”
“Have you watched too many movies? I’ll find an opportunity to meet him.”
“The Song family is already very difficult to deal with, and now Sheng Kai is involved. In the future, he’ll be involved in all of their matters. His hands are stained with blood.”
Sheng Xiao did not think that Sheng Kai had the guts to commit such a crime.
Seeing the little thing in his arms fidget, he suddenly pressed Mu Qiqi down and whispered into her ear, “Tonight… can you call me ‘Daddy’?”
Mu Qiqi was stunned. This man’s bad taste came too suddenly.
“Uh… you reminded me. I’m going to give Daddy a call to ask about the situation over on their side.” With that said, Mu Qiqi pretended to get up, but was stopped by Sheng Xiao.
“You’re running away?”
“Who said that? I’m going to wash up and wait for you.”
“Really? Then go ahead.” Sheng Xiao let go of her playfully. He knew very well what kind of tricks this thing had up her sleeves. However, he was happy to spoil her like this.
However, when he heard how Xu Che described Song Bozhi’s reaction at the lecture that day, as a man, he had a strong feeling that that piece of trash had eyes for his woman.
