After the charity banquet, Grandpa Mu and his son took a detour to the police station to visit Papa Mu.
Papa Mu only wanted to meet his father. And he had just one thing to say. When Grandpa Mu picked up the phone, Papa Mu said, "Mu Qiqi told me a secret. Have you heard of it? Mu Tangxue is my daughter. She has no relation with the Shen family."
"Then..."
"I am willing to see you because I want to tell you this. If Mu Tangxue is humiliated by the Shen family, don't let her come back to the Mu family. If you dare to accept her, I am not going to let this slide once I am out of here." Papa Mu threatened Grandpa Mu. "If it was not for her, I will not become like this now."
Grandpa Mu did not show any particular emotions when he heard him. He shrugged and said, "I don't even know the person you are talking about. Has she got anything to do with the Mu family?"
"She turned me into this. Of course I won't let her go!"
"You just stay in the prison and reflect on yourself," said Grandpa Mu and turned to the door. When he was about to leave, Papa Mu opened his mouth.
"Father, I am sorry."
Grandpa Mu did not say anything. But his lips twitched. Still, he did not turn around to look at his son before he left the detention center.
What has passed is past. He did not hold a grudge toward Mu Qiqi for being together with Sheng Xiao. After all, the Mu family had mistreated her. Everything happened to the Mu family was a punishment they deserved.
As for Mu Tangxue, as he said, she was no longer a member in the Mu family. Nobody was allowed to mention her name anymore.
Since she was not a Shen, it was only natural for her to be chased out of the Shen family soon.
And he, Grandpa Mu, was waiting for that day to come.
...
By this time, almost everyone in the world knew Mu Tangxue was not a member of the Shen family. Only she herself did not know about it yet.
Since the day Grandpa Shen said that he was going to reveal her identity in the coming weekend, and with Third Aunt's help, she was now able to have meals with the rest of the family. However, there was no interaction among them.
It was still a great improvement after she had got Third Aunt's support.
But the Shens still looked down on her and were not talking to her. And of course, she knew they were still consoling Rong Junhan.
"Just now, the old man and those brothers were discussing inviting Eldest Sister to the house and letting you apologize to her. I cannot understand those brothers at all. You have not done anything wrong to her, why are they making you kneel in front of her?" When Third Aunt was free, or, it was better to put it this way, Third Aunt purposely went to Mu Tangxue to tell her the news.
"Thank you, Third Aunt, for telling me this. I will say good things about you in front of Grandpa when I have the chance."
People of rich families always did things that would only benefit them. Mu Tangxue knew it all along that Third Aunt worked so hard to fawn over her because she wanted to get her son a bright future. Even though Grandpa Shen had retired from the military, he was still a highly respected man in that field.
"Then I shall thank you in advance, Xue'er. And you do not have to be afraid when the woman comes, understand?"
"Thank you, Third Aunt!"
They were making her kneel and apologize? What a joke! What did she do wrong? She could not control her birth. If she were really Shen Jianchuan's wife, then she would give in. But the problem was, Rong Junhan was just her fiancée. Why should she, the real Shen apologize to an outsider?
It was ridiculous!
