Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mama Sheng left the mansion quickly. She felt that her son was indeed an evil demon.

Sheng Xiao knew that her mother had misunderstood him deeply now. Then, he returned to the bedroom and pulled his little one into his embrace. She was sleeping soundly. He placed a kiss of her forehead softly. “I must’ve acted like that because I love you deeply. It seems that I’ve gone mad.”

Mu Qiqi did not even know that she had become Mama Sheng’s daughter-in-law.

Mama Sheng did not care how old Mu Qiqi was now. She did not even care whether Mu Qiqi came from the Mu family before. She was indeed afraid of her son.

So, Mama Sheng returned home and told her husband about that incident. “Our Sheng family always holds resolutely to our belief that our children should only marry those who share the same social statuses as us. That’s why Sheng Xiao carried out such a rash decision. He took the road less taken. Now, he bullied that girl from the Shen family. How would anyone marry him in the future?

“The Shen family didn’t come to us for this because of our intimate friendship. Moreover, it’s difficult to talk about this kind of thing. But, we can’t pretend that it never happened.”

“It’s just a woman. Why is your reaction so huge?” Papa Sheng stared at his own wife. “Don’t you know your son well? He always does unexpected things. Do you still want him to lead his life without any surprises?”

“What then?”

“How old is that kid?” Papa Sheng asked Mama Sheng all of a sudden.

“She’ll soon be nineteen years old.”

“Then, let’s arrange for their engagement. We’ll talk about other things in the future. So, it’ll be proper and nice no matter what Sheng Xiao wants to do. That way, we could provide a proper explanation to the Shen family too.” Papa Sheng told Mama Sheng. Why did he act so generously? It was because the Shen family was an influential and wealthy family too. They would never let it go easily since their granddaughter was snatched away like that.

Furthermore, Papa Sheng assumed that Sheng Xiao’s love for Mu Qiqi was only temporary. Getting them engaged was just a temporary plan. They would certainly get bored at each other and they would break up soon. Moreover, he knew his son well. He would never be with the same woman for the rest of his life.

Then, the Shen family could not raise any objection when they broke up with each other. It could only mean that they were not meant for each other.

So, he suggested getting them engaged calmly.

“Old Shen has his own stand. Sheng Xiao is Qiqi’s uncle. He thinks that it’s a taboo given their relationship. So, I still need to spend some time persuading him.”

“I’ll help to explain to my dad. But, we’ll just announce to the public that Sheng Xiao is getting engaged with the young lady from the Shen family. We can’t expose the fact that Sheng Xiao has taken her under his wing. I always know that he’ll never do anything properly…”

Mama Sheng sighed after she heard what her husband had said. “I adore Qiqi truly. I’ll certainly treat her nicer after they get engaged. I just don’t know how she’s bullied by Sheng Xiao and how sad she is because of this.”

***

Jing Yun received the news the next morning. The CEO and his wife had told the chairman about that incident. Moreover, the chairman had ordered Sheng Xiao to get engaged with the young lady from the Shen family immediately.

But, the chairman never met his granddaughter-in-law.

It was true that Sheng Xiao was over the line. How could he go and create a mess in the Shen family…

He had even snatched Qiqi away from Grandpa Shen.

If the Sheng family did not take such a step, the friendship between the Sheng family and the Shen family would be completely ruined.

Moreover, Papa Sheng told Grandpa Sheng that Mu Qiqi was still young. So, Sheng Xiao might not be so obsessed about her when she got older. Then, they would certainly break up with each other. It was only an engagement and she would never become one of them. Hence, Grandpa Sheng gave his approval.

Grandpa Sheng could not allow any rumor being spread about his grandson. It would be humiliating. So, they needed to resolve the issue at hand.

So, Mama Sheng brought some gifts along and went to the Shen family that morning.

Grandpa Shen thought that he still could not bring himself to face the Sheng family. But, he was shocked when he heard what Mama Sheng said. “Old Shen, our Sheng family has wronged you.”

“What do you mean?”

“Our Sheng Xiao snatched Qiqi away harshly and he even made a scene here. It’s shameful for us. So, my dad asked me to come immediately to propose marriage on Sheng Xiao’s behalf. We’ll get them engaged. Then, they’ll marry each other when Qiqi becomes of age.” Mama Sheng said rather awkwardly to Grandpa Shen.

Grandpa Shen took a glance at Huang Yu subconsciously after he heard that.

What did Sheng Xiao do?

“But, Sheng Xiao is Qiqi’s uncle…”

“Old Shen, could you please let go of that? I know you’re unhappy about it but it has happened anyway. We’re their elders and we could only accept what had happened. I adore Qiqi too. Since they are meant for each other, I hope that you could approve of them.”

Grandpa Shen was rather surprised given that the Sheng family had come for a marriage proposal.

At that moment, Shen Jianchuan was wheeled out of the room by the nurse. He saw Mama Sheng. “I don’t agree. How could my daughter, the young lady from the Shen family, be snatched away by the Sheng family as easy as that? Certainly, she’ll be bullied and humiliated by the Sheng family in the future.”

Mama Sheng saw that Shen Jianchuan had returned home. Certainly, Sheng Xiao had created quite a great mess. She soon replied, “Don’t worry. I’ll treat her as my own daughter after they get engaged.”

“I’m curious too. Why did you come and propose marriage on his behalf? Sheng Xiao is just fooling around. It’s how he is. Qiqi doesn’t have to marry him.”

“Young Master, don’t worry. Qiqi is the young lady of the Shen family. We’ll treat her as how you treat her. Don’t worry.”

Shen Jianchuan sneered coldly. But, he remained quiet.

He reacted like that because the Sheng family might think that no one wanted to marry his daughter. That way, he would side with Mu Qiqi and help to support her.

Shen Jianchuan remained quiet. So, Mama Sheng turned to look at Grandpa Shen.

Grandpa Shen took a deep breath. He waved his hands. “Just do it your way. I’m quite old now and I don’t want to tire myself over this. Who else can say no to Sheng Xiao?”

“It’s good that you’ve approved of this. We’ll certainly make it grand and good. We won’t treat Qiqi unfairly.”

Grandpa Shen said no more. He just felt that the Sheng family had gone easy on them and it seemed like they had approved of their relationship so easily. It worried him. So, he looked at his son after Mama Sheng left. “What is happening?”

Shen Jianchuan smiled after he heard that. “Sheng Xiao won surprisingly.”

“What do you mean?”

“He might have done something and it frightened the Sheng family. Moreover, Sheng Xiao’s temper is bad and he would never bother about anyone even if it’s his family members when he gets angry. So, the Sheng family has no choice but to carry out such a plan. Getting them engaged is just a step to help Sheng Xiao to make everything right. The Sheng family is no fool. If rumors are spread about it, the Sheng family will certainly be humiliated. So, they decided to let them be engaged since Qiqi is still young. They might think that their relationship is not going to last until the day of their marriage.”
