Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Ruoyi saw Mu Qiqi was getting restless, so she checked on her back. When her back was found to be red and swollen, she exclaimed, “Qiqi… your back … is red and swollen!”

Mu Qiqi looked very sick, so Shen Ruoyi stood up and said, “Let me get you to the hospital now.”

Sheng Xiao noticed something was wrong with Mu Qiqi, so he stood up straight away and walked to them. Because Sheng Xiao’s action was too big, the other guests found out about the unforeseen circumstance as well.

“What’s wrong?”

“Someone put some chemical substance on my chair!” Mu Qiqi told Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao held Mu Qiqi and looked at her back. He frowned. Then, he called Jing Yun immediately. “Go to the pharmacy and buy all the antihistamines available now.”

“Uncle Xiao, let me go and buy them for Qiqi.”

“It’s okay.” Mu Qiqi was doubtful of Shen Ruoyi.

Shen Ruoyi sensed Mu Qiqi’s suspicion, so she quickly explained. “Qiqi, are you suspecting me? I chose the seat at random. I do not know this will happen. I will go and buy you the medicine now.”

Shen Ruoyi’s face was full of concerns and grievances.

“It might be those devils who did it!” Mu Qiqi did not want to accuse Shen Ruoyi without proof.

“Wait for me, I shall go now. I will be back soon.” Shen Ruoyi looked nervous. She stood up as soon as she finished talking.

If Mu Qiqi was not mistaken, the substance should be a sulfa drug. It was used to treat burns or infections, but overdosing could cause allergy or poisoning.

Sheng Xiao did not pay attention to Shen Ruoyi at all. He did not care if Shen Ruoyi wanted his attention as well.

Sheng Xiao only knew that his little one was suffering right now. so, he helped her to get up, covered her up with his coat and brought her out of the hall. Of course, Shen Ruoyi did not expect Sheng Xiao to be so riled up. She followed them as this was a great opportunity for her to do a put on a good act.

“What’s wrong?” Grandpa Shen saw them getting up instead of having their meals.

Shen Ruoyi wanted to explain but Sheng Xiao had already walked toward Grandpa Shen, holding Mu Qiqi. “Xiao Qi had an allergic reaction. I’m bringing her to the hospital.”

“Why this all of a sudden?”

“The chair is tainted with chemicals. You better ask your granddaughter why she chose that spot. Old Shen, I have told you before. If the Shen family does not like Mu Qiqi, the Sheng family can raise her.”

Grandpa Shen understood what Sheng Xiao meant. Seeing Mu Qiqi suffering, he said, “I will look into it and give Qiqi an explanation.”

Sheng Xiao did not say anything more. With Mu Qiqi still in his arms, he turned around to Shen Ruoyi who was behind them. He said, “You don’t have to follow us.”

“I am worried about Qiqi.”

“She does not need your concern.” Then, he left the birthday party with Mu Qiqi.

Shen Ruoyi stopped in confusion. She really wanted to act like a sincere sister. But when she ran out of the hall, Sheng Xiao had already left with Mu Qiqi.

Since Shen Ruoyi was with Mu Qiqi just now, she could not escape from not being suspected.

Of course, Shen Ruoyi was a clever one. She knew Sheng Xiao and Grandpa Shen suspected her. But she somehow wished for it. At least Sheng Xiao remembered her now instead of having no impression on her.

On the other hand, Mu Qiqi kept on wanting to scratch her back when she was sitting in the passenger seat.

“Don’t scratch.”

“I was careless.” Mu Qiqi frowned. She was sweating.

Sheng Xiao made a call to Jing Yun. “Don’t buy the medicine. Go and get the security footage first.”

“It is not that serious actually because it is discovered early,” said Mu Qiqi. “Xiaoxiao, trust me. I study medicine. I know the dosage.”

“What do you think about this?” Sheng Xiao was asking about the suspect.

“An ambush is really difficult to be prevented. But I won’t rule out Shen Ruoyi as a suspect.” Mu Qiqi said. She suspected Shen Ruoyi because she was too worried about her. “Xiaoxiao, if this is a matter regarding the Shen family, I don’t want you to get involved with this. If it is not that you told the people I am your savior, our relationship might already be found out.”

“Do you think you should be the one worrying about this?” Sheng Xiao sneered. He would not do such a thing if he had no confidence. “I know better, how the people would think. I can guess their minds with my eyes close. Nobody can defeat me in this mind game.”

Mu Qiqi was suppressing her urge to scratch her back. She reminded herself to be more careful next time. Because Shen Ruoyi might use her to get close to Sheng Xiao again.

…

The Lin family was shocked when they knew that Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi had left. So, they told Lin Mu’an to apologize to Grandpa Shen on behalf of the Lin family after the party.

After hearing Lin Mu’an’s apology, Grandpa Shen waved his hands and said that it was not their fault. After he explained the incident to his friends, he went to look for Shen Ruoyi.

All Shen Ruoyi could think about was Sheng Xiao’s face when he left with Mu Qiqi. So, during the event, she looked depressed. She was not worried about being found out to be the culprit. She was just weighing the worth of what she did.

“Ruoyi, what happened actually?”

Shen Ruoyi looked blank when Grandpa Shen sat beside her and asked. “Grandpa, I don’t know why Qiqi had an allergic reaction. When we got into the hall, I saw the seats empty so I reserved one for her. I don’t know why this happened.”

“The security footage will tell the truth.” Grandpa Shen was not easy to be fooled. But he would not hurt his granddaughter without any reason. So, he said gently, “Ruoyi, I know your mother does not like Qiqi, but I hope that you will not be like your mother.”

Since it happened during the birthday party of the Lin family, Lin Mu’an got his man to take the chair Mu Qiqi used just now for examination. He had also got the security footage from the hotel to find out who the culprit was.

The one who did such a thing during the event of the Lin family was obviously not giving the Lin family face.

“Grandpa, please do not suspect me. Am I not good enough to Qiqi?” Shen Ruoyi acted pitifully. “I can understand why you suspect my mother. But I am me, Mommy is Mommy. I hope you can trust me that I will not hurt Qiqi.”

“Qiqi’s birth is unusual. The other people may look down on Qiqi and bully her. But I will not tolerate it if my family hurts her. I want to remind you before things get ugly. I hope you and Qiqi will be like real sisters and love each other.

“But if I find out any of you are being mean to the other, don’t blame me if I act mercilessly.”
