Chapter 302: You Should Know the Consequences If I Look Into It
Sheng Minghui had received the news about Sheng Minglan establishing a new company. She had finally found something to do. Due to the incident at the engagement ceremony, she didn’t dare to go out of Sheng Mansion again. Sheng Minglan had humiliated her, so she must let her suffer.
Did she think her business would go well after leaving the Sheng family?
It would never happen!
So, she got some men to investigate Sheng Minglan’s company and she got to know that Sheng Minglan was running everywhere to get business contracts.
“Now that Grandpa does not care about Fourth Sister anymore, it is easier for me to make my move. I can use my identity as the young lady of the Sheng family to stop people from collaborating with her and everything will go as I plan. After all, Fourth Sister is not part of the Sheng family anymore.”
Grandpa Sheng thought that Sheng Minghui would behave herself after a lesson. So, he called her to his study. “Fourth Sister has established her own company outside. If you still have your conscience, don’t go and mess with her.”
“Grandpa, what do you think of me? I just hope that Fourth Sister will be alright.”
“I can’t see that from your face.” Grandpa Sheng harrumphed. “And one more, the event of Huang Yao is around the corner. Mu Qiqi has made all the arrangements with the planning department. Don’t go and cause trouble. When it is the right time, you can just take all her credit. After that. I will announce that you are the person-in-charge of this event.”
“Sheng Xiao will surely make trouble.”
“It is the business of the Sheng family, of course a Sheng should take the credit. Why should he make trouble?” Grandpa Sheng thought that it was all very appropriate.
“Well then. I know what to do, Grandpa.”
Mu Qiqi was just a tool and a doormat. Even if Sheng Xiao was not happy, he could only go and fight with Grandpa. He could not blame her for anything.
Moreover, if she guessed it right, Grandpa Sheng was planning to let her take over the position of the head of the planning department after the banquet for the VVIPs. By then, this would mean that she had officially joined Huang Yao. With Will supporting her, she would have a bright future in Huang Yao.
When comparing her to Sheng Minglan and Mu Qiqi, weren’t they pitiful?
Nevertheless, she could make them even miserable!
…
At night, Jing Yun brought Sheng Minglan along to the business dinner. It was a good chance for Sheng Minglan to grow.
However, when they were on the way to the hotel, they received a call from the businessman. He told them that he had found another company to work with him in the project. So, he wanted to cancel the meeting.
Jing Yun stopped the car at the roadside and made a call to the staff that oversaw this.
The staff said that the businessman still had the intention to work with them when he called him in the afternoon. The change of mind happened too abruptly.
Jing Yun looked sick. Sheng Minglan thought that she knew the reason.
“I am in a rush to get as many business contracts as possible for you because I don’t want to see this happen.”
Sheng Minglan understood Jing Yun’s good intention. She comforted him. “It’s all right. I know Seventh Sister will not let me go easily. I don’t have the protection of the Sheng family now, of course she won’t leave me alone.”
“I will tell Young Master about this. For now, we need to ensure the other contracts will not change.”
Sheng Minglan nodded. She was not as angry and discouraged as Jing Yun expected. So, it meant that she had already mentally prepared herself for this.
However, the other companies seemed to be fooling them. They made their promise to work with them. But in the end, they told them that they had found another company for the business contracts.
It happened four times already.
In the business field, Jing Yun could help Sheng Minglan in all sorts of things. He had a wide network. But, when it came to the pressure from the Sheng family, he felt helpless. He could not do anything about it.
So, he must tell Sheng Xiao about this.
Only when Sheng Xiao came to help, Sheng Minghui would stop.
Of course, after knowing this, Sheng Xiao did not rush to complain this to Grandpa Sheng. He had prepared something else for Sheng Minghui. He even let Sheng Minglan be admitted to the hospital.
After a few days, Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi purposely went to Sheng Mansion for dinner. Grandpa Sheng was not happy seeing Mu Qiqi. But he was still using her, so he did not say much.
“Sheng Xiao, I called Minglan last night. She said that she is in the hospital. What happened?” Mama Sheng initiated the discussion.
Sheng Xiao leaned back but did not say anything. It was Mu Qiqi who said, “Mother, Fourth Sister is sick.”
“How does she get sick?” Grandpa Sheng looked worried and sprang out of his seat.
“I thought you wish to see her dead.” Sheng Xiao harrumphed.
“Sheng Xiao, mind your words. How is your cousin?”
“Fourth Sister is working on her new company now. You should already know it. But you should also know what kind of a person Seventh Sister is. Now that Fourth Sister is not in the Sheng family, she does not have the protection of the Sheng family. So, Seventh Sister bullied Fourth Sister. Fourth Sister was so angry that she fell sick and got admitted to the hospital. Isn’t this your wish?”
After hearing that, Grandpa Sheng looked at Sheng Minghui. “What did you do to Fourth Sister again?”
“Grandpa, do you believe everything that Sheng Xiao says?”
“It doesn’t matter if he believes it or not. It is a fact that Fourth Sister is facing a crisis out there. Her fiancé was snatched away, then she was sold by her grandfather. She is so disappointed and hurt now. Do you think she will rather die than to come back to the Sheng family? I am just wasting my time. Grandpa will believe Seventh Sister in the end anyway. Since that’s the case, just let Fourth Sister die outside and everyone will be happy about it.”
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Grandpa Sheng banged on the table angrily.
“Don’t act in front of me as if you love Fourth Sister. Don’t you know that Seventh Sister is a person who will hurt others even if they help her? Now that Fourth Sister humiliated her at the engagement ceremony, do you think she will simply let her go?” Sheng Xiao sniggered. “Only you believe her gibberish in the Sheng family.”
Having said that, Sheng Xiao picked some food for Mu Qiqi. He stopped talking about Sheng Minglan. However, he had gained Grandpa Sheng’s attention. Grandpa Sheng asked Sheng Minghui, “Have you been troubling Fourth Sister?”
“Grandpa…”
“Tell me. You should know the consequences if I look into it.” Grandpa Sheng pointed at Sheng Minghui with his walking stick.
Sheng Minghui was so scared that she stood up and took two steps back. “I… I just asked my friends to take care of Fourth Sister. I don’t have the intention of hurting her.”
“Come here!” Grandpa Sheng roared when he got the answer.
“Grandpa…”
“Come here now.” Grandpa Sheng beckoned to her once more.
Sheng Minghui was shaking out of fear. But she still walked toward Grandpa Sheng with baby steps. Right then, Grandpa Sheng raised his hand and slapped her face hard. “You still have the energy to harm Fourth Sister, right? Good! From now on, I will freeze all your accounts. You want money? Go and earn it yourself!”
