What about my aunt then?"
"Does she need your concern? Lu Wenhua would know what to do. Don't you think that you are being a third wheel between them?"
Mu Qiqi laughed after she heard Sheng Xiao's words. "You are right."
When she thought about this, she decided to just listen to Sheng Xiao. As long as she was with this man, she would be fine with where she would go or what she would do.
While she was enjoying her steak, Mu Tangxue did not seem to be enjoying herself.
Although Grandpa Shen was being protective of her, he was still just one person. It was hard for him to go against all the other people in the family.
After the unhappy breakfast gathering, the Shens went to work respectively. But when they got home, they started to coerce him again.
"Father, when I got off work, I visited Eldest Sister. Her eyes were all swollen. I bet she must have been crying for the whole day. Don't you think what you are doing is not very kind?"
Second Elder, Grandpa Shen's second son, could not help but complained, "We can obey anything you want us to do. But not this time. We do not agree to let this girl join our family. There are so many other solutions to this matter. But what you want to do is not one of them."
"I know you all are upset about this. But I have told you, she is your brother's daughter!"
"Only she came back. How about the other one? Why is the other one not willing to come back?" asked Second Elder.
"She might not necessarily look up to the Shen family."
"It is settled then, isn't it? Let them live together and don't come back to the Shen family. Isn't it good for all of us? Or just let me make the arrangements. I will send that Xue... whatever her name is... I will send her overseas and to receive the best education!"
"I am the one who brought her back. None of you have the right to say no!" Grandpa Shen suddenly became fierce.
"Are you going to disregard all of us just for her?"
"I will be holding a gathering this coming weekend. Then, I will reveal their identities. You better be prepared."
"Father."
"Everyone must be present. This is an order."
Grandpa Shen might look nice and friendly most of the time.
But at certain times, he would show his firm attitude as the elder of the family. When he did, they could not go against him.
Mu Tangxue was in the living room. When Second Elder stormed out of the house, he saw Mu Tangxue so he yelled at her, "There will never be a place for you in this family. Apart from Father, no one will acknowledge your identity!"
"As an elder, although I should not say this, why isn't your sister wanting to join the Shen family in a hurry?"
Second Elder was very upset with this incident. This was all because of Rong Junhan. Since Shen Jianchuan was in a vegetative state, Rong Junhan had been helping him a lot, just like a sister helping her own brother.
Mu Tangxue was upset and cried immediately.
When Second Elder saw her reaction, he was even angrier. "All you know to do is cry."
Then, Grandpa Shen walked out of the study. When he saw Mu Tangxue being sad, he said nonchalantly, "Just ignore them. And one more thing, I will officially reveal you and your sister's identities this coming weekend."
"Yes, Grandpa."
Mu Tangxue had absolutely no idea about what Grandpa Shen really meant. He was going to tell everyone that Mu Qiqi was his granddaughter. As for her, she was in fact, a Mu.
