"Why are you here?" Grandpa Shen was puzzled. "Are you not busy in Huang Yao today?"
"I am eager to watch the drama tonight. Can't I get repayment after raising your granddaughter for you for such a long time?" Sheng Xiao cocked his brows.
Grandpa Shen looked at his watch and nodded. "The guests are all here. It is time to start."
Grandpa Shen did not let Mu Qiqi and Mu Tangxue show up right at the beginning of the ceremony. They are the stars tonight, of course they should make their appearance last.
"Let's go."
Grandpa Shen led the way while Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi walked side by side behind him. Their arms would touch each other as they walked. So, Sheng Xiao took the chance to grab her hand and they exchanged glances. This made Mu Qiqi feel calm and steady.
Xiaoxiao came. He really came.'
As they were about to go to the front hall, Mu Tangxue came suddenly and said, "Grandpa, I have something to say to my sister."
Grandpa Shen turned around and looked at Mu Qiqi. Mu Qiqi nodded and said, "Grandpa, you can go first. We will catch up later."
They were worried. But Grandpa Shen was confident in Mu Qiqi. Her eyes told him that everything was going as planned. So, he decided not to bother about it anymore. Tonight would be Mu Qiqi's night.
The two men disappeared in the corridor. Then, Mu Qiqi asked Mu Tangxue, "What do you want?"
Mu Tangxue grabbed hold of Mu Qiqi's arms and begged, "Sister, tonight is an important night for me. Can you not tell everyone about our past?"
"What are you afraid of?" asked Mu Qiqi in return.
"Sister, there is nothing we can get from revealing the past. It will especially make Grandpa lose face. You do not want Grandpa to be a laughingstock, do you?"
"I will not do anything as long as you behave." Mu Qiqi shook off her hands and walked away.
But as Mu Qiqi left, Mu Tangxue smiled wickedly. "Mu Qiqi, we will see who loses the game tonight!"
...
Mu Qiqi walked to the front hall. At the same time, Sheng Xiao was chatting with the people he knew.
When Grandpa Shen saw her, he said, "Qiqi, come and let me introduce you to the guests."
"So, this must be Qiqi. She is such a beautiful girl."
"I heard that she has got into Sheng Ting University. Remarkable."
"I should have brought my son with me."
The guests were praising Mu Qiqi to show their respect to Grandpa Shen.
Grandpa Shen smiled and sighed with relief. "I did not expect that Jianchuan would be able to have a child. So, I must let the children return to the family no matter how scandalous it is."
"Old senior officer, just let the grudges of the previous generation go with the wind. The children are innocent!"
"By the way, where is your sister?" Grandpa Shen looked around, but he did not see Mu Tangxue anywhere. Then, he summoned Third Aunt to go and get her. "Bring Tangxue here."
Third Aunt put down her glass of wine and nodded. "Don't worry, Father. I will go now."
Mu Qiqi looked at Third Aunt. She felt that the drama was about to start. So, she looked in the direction where Sheng Xiao was standing just now. But he was not there anymore.
