There was already a vile girl staying in the Shen family's mansion. So, naturally, their mood was not very good when another came.
But Grandpa Shen was very energetic and all geared up for the day. He even wore the suit that had not been worn for a long time. It showed how much he cared about the sisters.
Mu Tangxue also wore her best dress. When she was standing beside Third Aunt, the two kept whispering to each other. It seemed that their relationship improved quite a lot in a short time.
"Do you and your sister look alike?"
Thinking about Mu Qiqi, Mu Tangxue chuckled and said, "More or less. But she has a mole on her nose."
"But your personalities differ a lot, I suppose."
"Sister is stronger. So, she likes to bully people."
Third Aunt smiled and nodded. "She even dissed the Shen family. She should be considered proud and arrogant."
"She is proud because she has a rich boyfriend."
Third Aunt covered her mouth in disbelief. She pointed at Grandpa Shen with her chin and asked, "Does Father know about this?"
"Grandpa doesn't know."
"Huh, having a boyfriend at such a young age."
Mu Tangxue had been badmouthing Mu Qiqi in front of Third Aunt for days. She intended to tarnish her image. To make it even worse, she created her version of the story to suit her needs. Then, when Third Aunt knew it, Third Uncle would know it too. When he knew it, it would mean that the whole family knew about it. She wanted to make everyone hold prejudice and bad perception about Mu Qiqi before she came.
Soon, the guards alerted the Shen family of Mu Qiqi's arrival at the gate. Jing Yun led Mu Qiqi into the courtyard of the mansion and they stood there waiting.
"Let's go and take a look," said Grandpa Shen.
"She is just a young girl. Why should the elders go and welcome her?" Second Aunt was very unhappy about it. "Father, you should have a limit when you love someone."
"It is Qiqi's first time here. You are her elder. Shouldn't you show a bit of tolerance and encouragement?"
The other Shens did not say anything. They followed behind Grandpa Shen to the gate of the courtyard, including Mu Tangxue and Third Aunt.
Then, a pretty young girl wearing a black dress got out of the car. Her movements were graceful.
Nobody needed to be told about who she was because she looked very much like Mu Tangxue. Although they had the same face, the Shens did not expect Mu Qiqi and Mu Tangxue would give them such different feelings.
Mu Tangxue was also a lady from a rich family. But she was tacky in the way she handle matters, unlike Mu Qiqi. She looked as if she was born a noble.
She was calm and cool, just like the other ladies from the other families in the high society.
After seeing Mu Qiqi, they took a look at Mu Tangxue again. They were so different.
And Grandpa Shen was very satisfied with what he saw.
"Old Shen, I sent her here safe and sound." Since Jing Yun was the one who accompanied Mu Qiqi to the mansion of the Shen family, he walked to Grandpa Shen and bowed to him first.
"Thanks for your hard work, Jing Yun. And thank your young master for me," said Grandpa Shen happily. Then, he looked at Mu Qiqi and said, "Child, come here. Come to Grandpa."
Mu Qiqi smiled and walked to the front of the Shens. Then, she bowed to them and said, "Sorry to bother you."
"Child, this is your home. You do not have to be so polite."
