Chapter 219: How Dare You Fall in Love With Your Uncle
“Don’t be smug.” Lu Qianqian had accepted his kindness and opinion but she could not bring herself to admit that. “I’m the young lady from the Lu family. It’s a humiliation since you replaced me with someone else!”
“Look at you! You’re really a little feisty one. Others want to be nice to you but you don’t want to accept their kindness.”
“Who gave you the right to bother about others’ businesses? By the way, what kind of rubbish you wrote? How could you boast about men like that?”
Lin Mu’an felt that Lu Qianqian had indeed done some research on his works. He bent down and lay on the table. Then, he beckoned Lu Qianqian with a finger. “Why don’t you come over to my house one day? I’ll tell you what kind of thing I’m boasting about in my works.”
That man was indeed seductive!
But, Lu Qianqian was not an ordinary girl. She grabbed Lin Mu’an’s finger and twisted it harshly. “That’s just what I thought. I want to ask you out so that we could go and have a fight in the martial arts center!”
“It’s a date then. Give me your contact number. I’m always free…”
“I’m not afraid.” Lu Qianqian took out her phone immediately.
Lin Mu’an told Lu Qianqian his contact number calmly. They got to exchange their contact number just like that.
Mu Qiqi lay on the table and watched the scene.
Sheng Xiao grabbed her up. “It seems like they don’t need you anymore…”
Mu Qiqi suppressed her laughter. She let them be. “Why do I feel like they are immersed in a lovey-dovey atmosphere?”
“It’s none of your business.” Sheng Xiao said arrogantly. Then, he led her away. “Jing Yun will come and send you to Sheng Ting later. I have other things to deal with.”
Mu Qiqi could not help and she threw a question at Sheng Xiao when they talked about Jing Yun. “Does Assistant Jing have a girlfriend?”
Sheng Xiao shook his head. “He’s just like a log. It seems like he has not much interest in this kind of thing.”
“I don’t believe you. Although he seems like a fool in this kind of thing, this kind of person is always loyal and true. There might be somebody in his heart all this while.”
Sheng Xiao tilted his head and looked at his little darling after he heard that. “When did you start to bother about Jing Yun?”
“How come you’re jealous about this kind of thing?” Mu Qiqi complained about it but she felt sweet and happy in her heart. In fact, Lin Mu’an was not as bad as she imagined he would be. Although he had a lot of girlfriends, it did not mean that he was a bad person.
Moreover, Qianqian seemed like she was able to protect herself. After what happened to Duan Shao’an, she was being extremely careful in this kind of thing.
So, Mu Qiqi did not have to worry about her.
At last, Lu Qianqian and Lin Mu’an stared at each other when they left the hotel that afternoon. Lu Qianqian could barely suppress her desire to rush toward him and strangle him. How could he ruin her dream of becoming a star? However, she knew that it would be disastrous if her past was dug up and exposed to the public.
But, it was frustrating when she saw a man like Lin Mu’an who had many girlfriends.

It was late at night. Mu Qiqi received a call from Huang Yu when she was at the mansion. It was nine o’clock at night.
Huang Yu rarely called her. Moreover, it was late at night. So, Mu Qiqi picked up the call immediately because something wrong might have happened.
“Qiqi, come home now if you’re free. I’m afraid that your grandpa might not be able to hold himself back anymore.”
“What’s wrong?” Mu Qiqi asked Huang Yu immediately.
“It’s related to Third Uncle and his family. Shen Ruoyi got into big trouble. Just come home immediately.”
Su Zipei and her husband were right there beside Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao. They could hear Huang Yu’s voice coming from the phone. So, Su Zipei said to Mu Qiqi quickly, “Go now.”
“Let’s go.” Sheng Xiao led Mu Qiqi away and rushed all the way to the Shen family.
“You know what happened, don’t you?” Mu Qiqi asked Sheng Xiao when they were on their way to the Shen family. It was related to Shen Ruoyi and she had caused a great mess. So, it seemed like her secret was exposed.
“You can now see for yourself how your grandpa treats this kind of incident. You’ll know what he thinks about it.” Sheng Xiao helped Mu Qiqi to unfasten the seatbelt and reminded her.
Mu Qiqi was stunned for a short while. Suddenly, she became helpless. Then, she opened the door of the car and got down from the car. She went into the living room of the Shen family swiftly.
At that moment, Mama Sheng was still at the Shen family. On the other hand, Shen Ruoyi was kneeling in the living room and Grandpa Shen was holding a wooden stick in his hand. It seemed like he was outraged.
“Qiqi…” Huang Yu pulled her aside immediately for fear that she might be hurt accidentally.
“What happened?”
“This girl went to work in Huang Yao with an intention in mind. She intruded Sheng Xiao’s office a few times. Tonight, she was caught red-handed. So, your beautiful aunt sent her home. After being interrogated by Grandpa Shen, we learned that she was secretly in love with Sheng Xiao. But, he’s her uncle!”
“Xiao Qin, it’s my fault. I didn’t teach her well. It’s a great humiliation. We’re so sorry.”
“Old Shen, don’t mention that. I just hope that Ruoyi could return Sheng Xiao’s cufflinks. He cherishes it very much.” Mama Sheng said to Shen Ruoyi who was kneeling on the floor. “I saw it with my own eyes. She took it and put it into the pocket in her coat.”
“Huang Yu, go and take it now!” Grandpa Shen gave his order. But, Cen Suyun was trying to protect her daughter. She did not allow anybody to touch her daughter.
“Don’t come near her! It’s nothing but lousy cufflinks! How dare you treat her so harshly?” Then, Cen Suyun took out the cufflinks from Shen Ruoyi’s pocket and threw it into the aquarium beside them.
Mu Qiqi stared at it and realized that it was a gift that she had given Sheng Xiao before.
So she could not be bothered about the others. She stretched her hand out and she wanted to take it out from the aquarium. But, she was stopped by Huang Yu. “Silly girl. It’s filled with electricity. Let me help you.”
Mu Qiqi got the cufflinks under Huang Yu’s help. Then, she gave it to Mama Sheng. “Aunt, here you are…”
Mama Sheng retrieved it and glanced at Mu Qiqi. “Good girl.”
“Xiao Qin, I’m so sorry. We’ve caused great trouble.”
“Old Shen, I’ll leave now since it’s your family affair. Ruoyi is still young. I hope that she’ll learn her lesson. One needs to think properly before he or she wants to do anything.”
After that, Mama Sheng hugged Mu Qiqi. “I’ll come and meet you another day.”
Mu Qiqi nodded her head. Then, she sent a message to Sheng Xiao. “The beautiful aunt will definitely go and meet you now.”
Sheng Xiao did not ask why. Soon, he returned to the mansion which was prepared by his mother for him.
Now, everything that happened remained within the Shen family. Grandpa Shen was extremely furious. He used his wooden stick directly to beat Shen Ruoyi up without a shred of sympathy.
“What did I teach you since you’re young? Where are your politeness and integrity?
“How dare you admire your own uncle?
“How could you be so shameful? Take a look at yourself. What kind of identity do you have? You belong to the Shen family. How could you go and admire Sheng Xiao?”
