Mu Qiqi and Jing Yun left the cemetery, leaving behind Mu Tangxue alone there.
Mu Tangxue cried in front of the tombstone so hard that she did not even realize that Mu Qiqi and Jing Yun had left.
When she turned around, and saw no one behind, and again she saw Mama's Mu photo on the tombstone, she was terrified. She hurried along the path they took just now and ran towards the entrance of the cemetery, but the iron gate was already locked.
"Open the gate! Open the gate!"
There was nothing more terrifying than being alone in front of the tombstone of someone you killed.
Mu Tangxue realized that she could call someone for help. She took out her mobile phone and checked on her contacts. But who could she call?
Since she was still a Mu, she shamelessly made a call to Grandpa Mu.
Grandpa Mu had already been informed of the incident at Shen Mansion. So, he knew she would contact him. He purposely did not pick up Mu Tangxue's calls. He waited until the tenth call and then only he answered the call nonchalantly.
"Grandpa? I am Xue'er..." As soon as Grandpa Mu picked up the phone call, Mu Tangxue started sobbing. She could not even speak clearly.
"What do you want?" Grandpa Mu said coldly.
"Grandpa, can you come and save me? I am in the cemetery alone. I am scared."
"But it is time for me to go to bed," said Grandpa Mu frankly.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, but I am a Mu. I am your granddaughter."
"I have not forgotten how you trampled on me when you thought that you were a Shen. Miss Shen, you should call the Shen family. I am just an old man. I don't have the wealth and power like the Shen family has. And I cannot save you," Grandpa Mu replied calmly.
"Grandpa, I know I am wrong. I was too naïve. I should not have treated you that way. But I didn't do it on purpose. I had been driven out of the Shen family now. I have no money and I am trapped in the cemetery. I am scared."
"Your father doesn't die even when he is in prison. You are just locked up in a cemetery. What should you be afraid of?"
"Grandpa, I beg you. Please... Please come and save me."
In the end, Grandpa Mu replied, "Okay."
"You promise?" Mu Tangxue stopped crying. She was delighted and felt that the cemetery did not seem to be that scary anymore.
"You wait there." Grandpa Mu hung up the phone, switched off the light, and went to sleep.
As for Mu Tangxue, she thought that Grandpa Mu was really coming for her.
She really thought that the Mu family would send people to get her.
But after an hour, the gate remained locked.
She was hoping.
But Grandpa Mu had shattered her hope and driven her to despair.
...
After leaving the cemetery, Mu Qiqi returned to Shen Mansion. Sheng Xiao's car was still at the gate.
Mu Qiqi got out of Jing Yun's car anxiously and got into Sheng Xiao's car. Then, she apologized. "Xiaoxiao..."
"Have you vented your grudge?" Sheng Xiao held her chin and asked. His gaze was emotional, and it made Mu Qiqi's heart beat fast.
"Are you angry?"
"You little one, you are not as obedient as you look," replied Sheng Xiao.
"I know I have made you and Grandpa sad."
"What if I tell you what you did is not going to benefit our relationship?"
Mu Qiqi was stunned. But after a few seconds, she said, "You will never put your hopes on such things. You like to plan things out. And I would rather die than to leave you. Let's see who can separate us?"
