Papa Mu did not expect that Mu Qiqi and Su Zipei would really fight against him.
He did not really think that he was cold-hearted and vicious. But, to Mu Qiqi and Su Zipei, that scum was really Mu Tangxue's father. They behaved just as wicked as each other. So, Mu Qiqi and Su Zipei did not want to leave them with any hope this time.
Mu Qiqi spent the whole night in the study writing an article about the fire. She wanted to make it as convincing as possible so that the readers would believe it.
At eleven o'clock, Sheng Xiao found no one sleeping beside him. So, he got up and walked to the study.
Mu Qiqi was still working in the study. He walked straight to her and lifted her up from the chair.
"Xiaoxiao..."
"Who permitted you to use my study?" said Sheng Xiao coldly.
"I am just borrowing it. I didn't touch your things."
"It is already eleven o'clock. Didn't you know I will go around looking for you?" Sheng Xiao carried her back to the bedroom and pinned her on the bed. "Do you really have to work this hard? The media is more capable of writing these articles."
Mu Qiqi looked down after hearing what Sheng Xiao said.
"I am useless. I can only do things that won't help."
"It is good that you work hard but, you should know how to make full use of the resources and maximize their strength for your own advantage. Things might not turn out well even after you have worked hard for it. They have specialties and skills that you don't have. Do you understand what I am saying?" explained Sheng Xiao.
Mu Qiqi nodded in agreement. "Xiaoxiao, I understand now."
"Then let's go to bed." Sheng Xiao rolled over and pulled the blanket for her. "Get in."
Mu Qiqi obediently got onto the bed and lay down. Then, she asked, "Xiaoxiao, can I use my draft? Because I experienced it first-hand, I think the readers will be able to empathize with me more easily when my draft is used."
Sheng Xiao pulled her into his arms and said, "Alright, but promise me to stay by my side. You have the biggest effect on me!"
"Xiaoxiao, you are getting hot. Are you..."
"So, you should not always trigger me." Sheng Xiao gave his warning.
Mu Qiqi did not dare to say anything more.
She stayed quietly in Sheng Xiao's arm. She did not dare to move, fearing she would turn him on again.
...
The next morning, Su Zipei and Lu Wenhua visited Mu Qiqi's youngest uncle.
He was the youngest son among the Mu brothers. Although he held eight percent of the shares and lived a luxurious life, he was not favored by his father. He did not show it, but he had great interest in managing the company.
Although he did not show it, the people close to him knew his desire.
He was surprised to see Su Zipei and Lu Wenhua coming to look for him. But he still asked his wife to make them some good tea and talk to them in the backyard.
"Such rare visitors. Aren't you my brother's sister-in-law? I am very curious why you came looking for me." Mr. Mu Xiao was a tall and slim man. He looked a bit lazy, unlike someone who wanted to take charge of things.
"I think Mr. Mu Xiao is aware of my sister's death. This is why I came here. I want to make you my ally." Su Zipei told him directly, "Do you want to be the one in charge of Mu Group?"
Mr. Mu Xiao laughed. He said, "It looks like you want to get revenge for your sister."
"Yes."
"I am curious about why you came to me. I have two older brothers."
