Chapter 124: I’m Really Not Your Daughter

She was Young Lady Shen now. Her status was different from the past.

She wanted to thank Su Zipei for telling that good news to her uncle. No…Mr. Mu Xiao was no longer her uncle anymore.

It was because she now belonged to the Shen family.

Mu Tangxue was filled with pride and arrogance when she thought of that.

***

Since Grandpa Shen placed Mu Tangxue in the small house, surely he would visit her there to prevent her from getting suspicious.

Mu Tangxue was very surprised when she saw Grandpa Shen. She rushed toward to greet her. She even held his hand and addressed him, “Grandpa…”

It seemed that Mu Tangxue herself only knew how much expectation she had.

Grandpa Shen remained calm. He patted Mu Tangxue’s head. “Are you used to living here?”

“Yes, thank you, Grandpa. But, Grandpa Mu might be searching for me right now. But, I’m afraid to go back there.” Mu Tangxue grabbed hold of Grandpa Shen’s sleeves. “They’ll beat me to death if I return there.”

“Then, you just stay here. I’ll go and talk to them.” Grandpa Shen smiled and replied. “Since, I still have some past events to ask your Papa Mu about.”

“What kinds of things?”

“I heard that the incident in which Jianchuan becomes a vegetable might be related to him.” Grandpa Shen brought it up intentionally in front of Mu Tangxue.

Mu Tangxue was stunned when she heard that. Then, she said to Grandpa Shen swiftly, “Grandpa, you might not get a result if you go and ask like this. Moreover, I still want to say goodbye to Grandpa Mu even though I belong to the Shen family now. Although Papa Mu is cruel toward me, Grandpa Mu is nice to me.

“Moreover, Grandpa Mu knows about the truth.”

“If that’s the case, I’ll ask them about Jianchuan next time. You just go and bid them goodbye. I’ll ask some bodyguards to escort you to ensure your safety. As a precaution, I’ll ask more bodyguards to accompany you.” Grandpa Shen said to Mu Tangxue.

Logically, that was not how the Shen family dealt with things. If that was a normal family, surely they would visit the family and apologize to them. But, it was the Mu family and Grandpa Shen did not even care about them.

It was still unclear whether the accident about his eldest son was related to Papa Mu.

The entire Mu family was wicked and Grandpa Shen knew about it clearly. If not, why would his granddaughter suffer so much there?

Moreover, Mu Qiqi left the Mu family long ago. Even if he wanted to announce that Mu Qiqi belonged to the Shen family now, it did not concern the Mu family at all.

However, there was a schemer, Mu Tangxue in the midst of it.

Surely, Grandpa Shen’s suggestion was so much better for Mu Tangxue. She could go and show off in front of the Mu family. She could even avoid being abused by them.

“Thank you, Grandpa.” Mu Tangxue was filled with happiness.

Grandpa Shen just felt that he was quite old now but still he was not as cunning as that girl. She was indeed quite frightening.

“How about my elder sister? Is she willing to come home?”

“I haven’t gone and met her yet.” Grandpa Shen replied honestly.

“My sister is a stubborn girl, Grandpa. If she says anything unpleasant, don’t be angry at her.” Mu Tangxue reminded him sweetly. “Moreover, I know that she hates me deeply. But, I’ve changed now!”

“Alright, I understood.”

Grandpa Shen did not linger long at the small house. It was because he was afraid that he would be unable to hold himself back. But, he would surely fulfill his promise since he promised to ask somebody to accompany her home. So, he ordered four bodyguards for her when he returned to the Shen family.

However, Grandpa Shen told them clearly to take note of whatever conversation Mu Tangxue had with the Mu family.

***

Mu Tangxue reached the Shen family now. But, Mu Qiqi was calm and serious. Nobody could see through her. What was she thinking about now? She just focused her entire attention on the university and got herself prepared for her upcoming study. She seemed not to care about the Shen family.

Su Zipei realized that Mu Qiqi did not even talk about the Shen family in front of her. Then, she asked Qiqi, “What do you think about the Shen family? Mu Tangxue is quite active now!”

“Mu Tangxue would surely go wherever has the best interests for her.” Mu Qiqi was reading the data regarding forensic science. She replied Su Zipei simply.

“Don’t you hope that you’ll have a more powerful family to rely on?”

“Don’t talk about me now. Aunt, what about you and Uncle Lu?”

“You don’t have to worry about the adults’ affairs.”Su Zipei stared at her.

“Aunt, what I’m thinking now is I’m eager to see the Mu family members hurting each other. I don’t have other thoughts now. Moreover, I don’t even have much expectation toward the Shen family. Just let it be.” Mu Qiqi replied seriously. “As the saying goes, your disappointment will be greater if your hope is big.”

“Don’t you want to see their drama?”

“Of course. Have they started?” Mu Qiqi retorted.

“Young Master Shen called me just now. He told me that Grandpa Shen had asked a few bodyguards to accompany Mu Tangxue to go to the Mu family. Isn’t it interesting?”

Mu Qiqi looked at Su Zipei. She was both eager and intrigued.

“Then, why are you still standing there? Let’s go.”

Mu Tangxue would surely say everything she wanted since she thought that she was Young Lady Shen now. How could they miss that kind of exciting scene? Why didn’t Xiaoxiao call her given that it was rather an interesting event?

***

Soon, Mu Tangxue got into a luxurious car and reached Grandpa Mu’s house.

She even acted like Young Master Shen and went into the Mu family with the four bodyguards by her side.

Grandpa Mu was not at home. But, Papa Mu had just woken up from his drunkenness. He seemed not feeling well. But, he was wide awake when he saw Mu Tangxue.

“What a shameful girl! Where did you go? How come you return home so late?”

Papa Mu wanted to approach Mu Tangxue but he was stopped by her bodyguards. Papa Mu was stunned. Then, he pointed at the bodyguard and asked her, “Who are they? Where did they come from?”

“Mr. Mu, please behave properly. Don’t be rude toward our young lady. If not, don’t blame us if we do anything out of line!”

Papa Mu laughed aloud after he heard the explanation from their leader. He scolded him, “I’m giving my daughter a lesson. What does it have to do with you?”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Mu. You might be unaware of it but Miss Mu is the daughter of the Shen family.”

Papa Mu burst into laughter after he heard what the bodyguard said. “Mu Tangxue, what kind of show are you putting on now? Where did you find these men to put on a show with you?”

“The bodyguard was right. I’m really not your daughter.” Mu Tangxue appeared confident and proud when she said that. She even put her hands behind her.
