Chapter 297: You Can Be My Personal Bodyguard!
After the engagement ceremony, Grandpa Sheng called the butler right away. The butler said, “Miss Minglan has already moved out of Sheng Mansion. I could not stop her.”
“It’s okay.” Grandpa Sheng sighed deeply. He had been worrying enough about the matters of his grandchildren. But, could he not worry?
For instance, Sheng Xiao had brought Mu Qiqi who could not help him at all back to the Sheng family. Had he thought about the future of Huang Yao?
And now that the scandal of the Sheng family was spread, many would definitely laugh at his family.
So, was Sheng Minghui who had succeeded in getting engaged with the Englishman really happy?
He’s afraid that she would only want to find a hole and hide in it after the ceremony. But now, she still had to face the guests.
When she went into the bride’s room, she cried miserably. “Grandpa, how could Fourth Sister did that to me in front of everyone?”
“She just treated you the same way you treated her. Besides, she has moved out of Sheng Mansion. You should be satisfied now.” Grandpa Sheng was so angry that his chest hurt.
When Sheng Minghui heard the news, she stopped crying.
Wasn’t it a good thing that Sheng Minglan had moved out?
Now, she was the only granddaughter in the Sheng family. So, Grandpa Sheng would only love her more now, wouldn’t he?
And now that Sheng Minglan has left the Sheng family, it would mean that she was no longer the young lady of the Sheng family. She had given up on the protection of the Sheng family, right?
Hmph!
‘Never come back if you dare.’
…
After the quarrel with Grandpa Sheng, Sheng Minghui returned to the banquet hall. However, she felt very uncomfortable at the disdainful looks from the guests.
“She had stolen her cousin’s fiancé. Moreover, she defamed her cousin. Why is there such a slut in the Sheng family?”
“Right? If I was her, I would rather run into the wall and kill myself. At least I can regain my dignity. I didn’t expect that she still has the cheek to get engaged with that man…”
“She is the person with the thickest face in Jianchuan.”
The restroom was full of criticisms of the guests about Sheng Minghui. But what could she do? She didn’t expect that Sheng Minglan could be this ruthless. Her ruthlessness made her shiver.
“I have finally witnessed Seventh Sister being punished because of her own actions. Fourth Sister is so cool!” Mu Qiqi told Sheng Xiao in the afternoon after the banquet. “Can we call it a day?”
“Go and bid farewell to Grandpa Sheng. Then we shall go and celebrate the establishment of Fourth Sister’s new company with her.”
“Her company was formed today?” Mu Qiqi covered her mouth in surprise. “What are we waiting for?”
Mu Qiqi dragged Sheng Xiao along to Grandpa Sheng. At the same time, Seventh Sister was there.
“It’s almost time, we shall leave now.”
“Sheng Xiao, I bet you must be laughing at me behind my back.” Seventh Sister sounded sour. “Especially you, Mu Qiqi. You must be thrilled.”
“Don’t try to blame me for things that I didn’t do. I have done nothing today and you should thank God for that. If I did, do you think you will still be able to stand here safe and sound?” Sheng Xiao mocked her when Seventh Sister was trying to hurt Mu Qiqi again.
Seventh Sister kept mum.
“Alright, don’t go overboard,” Grandpa Sheng said. “Off you go. Anyway, there is nothing to do here.”
“Grandpa…”
Sheng Xiao smirked and brought Mu Qiqi out of the hotel. But Seventh Sister was still complaining. “Grandpa, Fourth Sister has always been docile, why did she explode like this today? Don’t you find it strange?”
“It’s all your fault. You should behave yourself. Don’t do and mess with Mu Qiqi for now until the banquet for the VVIPs is planned. I don’t need you to make me more enemies.”
“Yes, Grandpa,” said Seventh Sister reluctantly.
Everything depended on the banquet for the VVIPs. Although she was humiliated by Sheng Minglan today, she would make her regret one day!
…
On the other hand, Sheng Minglan had officially moved out of Sheng Mansion. Also, her new company was officially established. At this moment, she was attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony with the other shareholders in front of the entrance of her new company.
It’s no big deal to leave the Sheng family. Because she would rely on herself starting from today.
As for Grandpa Sheng, he would not dare to come and stop her in public.
She admitted that she had deliberately fought with Grandpa Sheng in public. She needed to let everyone know that Grandpa Sheng had done her wrong.
For this reason, Grandpa Sheng would not dare to interfere too much with the decisions she made.
Soon, Sheng Xiao, Mu Qiqi, and Jing Yun arrived at the scene. It was one of the most important moments in Sheng Minglan’s life. However, they did not get too close. They just stood and watched from not far away. They waited until the event was over, only then did Mu Qiqi wave at Sheng Minglan. “Fourth Sister!”
“You are late.”
“We have been standing here watching all this time.” Sheng Xiao raised his brows. “You missed the standing ovation given to you after you left. I think I should make it up to you now.”
Sheng Minglan punched Sheng Xiao’s chest lightly. “Don’t joke around with me.”
Sheng Xiao smiled and moved closer to Sheng Minglan. He whispered into her ear without letting Jing Yun hear his voice. “I will give you a special present to congratulate you on the establishment of your new company.”
“What is it?”
“Don’t you want to know who Zhao Lin is? He is right beside me.” Sheng Xiao hinted. But Sheng Minglan got the message right away.
Sheng Xiao was saying that the owner of the gold card was Jing Yun.
“How is it? Do you like the gift?”
“Since you have given me a gift, I shall ask for another one. Will you be willing to give it to me?” Sheng Minglan said frankly, “My company is still new, and I need an experienced assistant to help me. If you really want to send me a gift, I want Jing Yun!”
Jing Yun who was standing beside them was stunned.
But Sheng Xiao was clearly prepared for that. “Well, it’s up to you whether you can make Jing Yun agree to it with his own will.”
“We will see about that.”
Mu Qiqi looked at the two cousins chatting happily. Suddenly, she felt that Sheng Minglan looked dazzling after becoming the CEO of her company.
She was no longer the submissive Sheng Minglan. She looked like a resilient and powerful career woman now.
“You can start seducing him now.” Sheng Minglan turned Mu Qiqi around. Then, she said to Jing Yun, “You stay.”
Jing Yun was silent.
“If Xiao Qi needs my help for the banquet for the VVIPs, just let me know.” Sheng Minglan shouted behind the two.
But Sheng Xiao waved his hand. Qi’er did not need any help.
Jing Yun was forced to stay and face Sheng Minglan alone. “Miss…”
“I’m already not a Miss Sheng,” said Sheng Minglan calmly. “If you don’t want to be my personal assistant, there is another option for you. You can be my personal bodyguard!”
