After Xu Che heard this, he felt the cringe. That was because he didn’t have a woman to teach him that yet.
“I’m the one at fault. I’ll apologize to him. Don’t worry. If he wants to beat me or scold me, it’s up to him. But I won’t let him hurt you.”
The old man at home was quite eager to see them…
No matter how great the hatred was, it could not be compared to a family being orderly and safe. Old Master Sheng was well aware of his physical condition. He no longer had any regrets now that his grandson was coming home. How could he ask for more?
Soon, the black Bentley drove into the Sheng family’s home.
It was late, but every lamp in the Sheng family’s home was still warm and bright.
Seeing the familiar door, Sheng Kai welled up a little.
“Second Young Master, go in. Old Master Sheng is waiting inside.” Xu Che saw that Sheng Kai did not move for a long time, so he quickly reminded him.
Sheng Kai turned his head and held Song Qiaozhi’s hand. He mustered all his courage and walked toward the door because Sheng Xiao was right. No matter what he had done outside, the only people who could forgive and tolerate him were his family.
No matter how furious his grandfather was, the most he would do was beat him up. He would never force him to kill or set someone on fire.
Song Jiang was different.
Sheng Kai gently pushed open the white wooden door. Then, he saw the old man with a cane standing at the entrance, with a complicated expression.
Sheng Kai knew that he had let the old man down. He took two steps forward and knelt down in front of the old man.
When Song Qiaozhi saw this, she also knelt down.
“Grandfather…”
Probably only Sheng Kai himself knew how impactful the word ‘Grandfather’ was.
After leaving the house that he had hated in the past, he was only used and devoured by his enemies.
“You’ve lost weight… And you’ve become darker, but you’re more energetic and mature.” The old man leaned on his walking stick and wanted to bend down, but he couldn’t even do such a small action. “Get up… It’s good that you’re back.”
“No, Grandfather. I’m a sinner of the Sheng family. I made a mistake.”
“No matter how wrong you are, you’re still my grandson. As a grandfather, how can I feel good when I hear that you made a mistake outside?” The old man was a little choked up. “Do you know what I was thinking when Eighth Brother said that you were coming back?”
“I can see it clearly. Even if I die right now, I’ll be able to answer to your grandmother in the netherworld. So it’s good that you’re back. Don’t care about whether you’ve made a mistake or not. Just live well in the future.” The old man threw away his walking stick and he bent down slightly to pat Sheng Kai’s shoulder.
Sheng Kai originally thought that if the old man would hit him and scold him to feel better. However, the old man didn’t do anything and easily forgave him.
So, he couldn’t hold back his emotions and cried in front of his grandfather and his wife.
“In the future… I won’t be willful anymore, Grandfather.”
“That’s good… that’s good.” Their eyes were red. “Get up, get up quickly.”
However, Sheng Kai remained on his knees. He looked at the woman beside him and said to the old man, “Grandfather, this is Qiaozhi. Although she’s a member of the Song family, she saved me and helped me. I hope that you can accept her and not make things difficult for her.”
“Eighth Brother has already told me about this matter. You young people handle your things on your own. How can an old man still manage everything now?”
“Qiaozhi, thank Grandfather.”
When Song Qiaozhi heard this, she quickly kowtowed. “Thank you, Grandfather. I will be filial to you with Ah Kai.”
“You are all good children. Get up. We can talk about other things tomorrow. Now go back to your room and rest. Take a good bath. Tomorrow, I want to see my former high-spirited grandson.”
Sheng Kai held Song Qiaozhi’s hand, stood up, and bowed to the old man again. “Thank you, Grandfather.”
The old man waved his hand, signaling for the two of them to quickly wash up.
Sheng Kai returned to his former room with Song Qiaozhi. Nothing had changed here.
The room was still there, which meant that the old man had never really been angry with him. However, when he thought about what he had done wrong, Sheng Kai felt very ashamed.
Song Qiaozhi looked around Sheng Kai’s room. Staying with her in the Song family was a mistake.
Sheng Kai took out a shirt from the closet and handed it to Song Qiaozhi with an apologetic look. “Wear my shirt to sleep tonight. Tomorrow, we’ll buy you some clothes. From now on, you’ll be the ugly daughter-in-law of the Sheng family.”
Song Qiaozhi felt like she was dreaming, so she pinched herself hard.
“What I said to your grandfather just now was the truth. From now on, I’ll be filial to him with you.”
“I believe you.” With that, Sheng Kai hugged her tightly. “We’ll forget the past. We will.”
The next morning, just as dawn broke, Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao arrived at the Sheng family home with Song Qiaozhi’s clothes.
When Old Master Sheng saw Mu Qiqi, he pouted. “You say you’re pregnant, but why do you work and rest like an old man? Don’t you need to sleep? It’s not even dawn yet. What are you doing here?”
Mu Qiqi knew that he was concerned, but he was not saying what he meant. She rolled his eyes at him. “I’m delivering clothes to your granddaughter-in-law. She can’t be here without a change of clothes, can she?”
“How can the Sheng family not have clothes to wear?” The old man hummed.
Mu Qiqi did not respond. This person’s grandson was back and he was in a good mood. They were even bickering.
When Sheng Xiao saw this, he said calmly to the old man, “Although Second Brother is back, his relationship with the Song family is not over yet. He’s still the legal representative of Changrong Electronics. In case the Song family catches hold of him in the future, he still has to deal with that company’s matters.”
“Will the Song family let him off so easily?” The old man was a little worried.
“The Song family doesn’t want to let him off, but they can’t do anything to him. This is all thanks to Song Jiang’s lack of trust in him. They didn’t let him know about confidential matters, so the Song family can’t get rid of him. However, there are exceptions to everything. In short, Second Brother should try not to go out, or he should bring enough bodyguards each time he does.
“The Song family don’t like traitors after all.”
“Why don’t we send him abroad to avoid the limelight like Third Brother?” The old man suggested.
“Guns aren’t allowed overseas,” Mu Qiqi reminded Old Man Sheng. “Alright, don’t worry about it. We’ll think of a way to settle this.”
Song Jiang really couldn’t do anything about Sheng Kai because he wouldn’t go so far as to expose himself for an insignificant person, would he? Sheng Xiao was right. This was all because Sheng Kai had no knowledge of the Song family’s secrets. That was why Song Jiang did not need to expend any effort to silence him.
However, this did not stop him from being angry. He was unwilling to accept this.
