If Sheng Xiao's words were put differently to mean: anyone who belongs to me must reach the top in every way, Mu Qiqi thought that she would be willing to do anything, including offering her life.
However, Sheng Xiao only considered her his by default... Not as a woman.
It was natural since she was less than eighteen. Wouldn't she be a little too young and tender in every way?
On the other hand, countless women across Jianchuan would queue up to get into Sheng Xiao's pants given who he was.
Sheng Xiao gazed carefully into Mu Qiqi's eyes to study her thoughts.
Then, he smiled mysteriously.
"Rest up. I still have things to do."
"Okay. See you." Mu Qiqi nodded in understanding, lowering her head to hide her expectations.
Sheng Xiao rose from the couch and left Mu Qiqi's room. Her face was already very red, even if he didn't know what rose-colored place the girl's thoughts were taking her...
For his part, the reason he had left immediately, unwilling to even look a little longer at her was because that seventeen-year-old girl had been drawing his gaze one too many times!
After Sheng Xiao left, Mu Qiqi looked down at her own figure beneath the sheets, which was very much lacking compared to those fashion models... what way is there for her to develop quicker?
And she was definitely almost eighteen...
On that note, it was less than ten days from her birthday.
While everyone else's birthdays were filled with happy memories, her own were spent with scolding from her father and her family, or even humiliated in front of countless guests.
Mu Qiqi's eyes welled with tears at the very thought.
But it was fine. She was almost an adult!

Meanwhile, the lawyers received the reply from Jing Yun that their client agreed to Papa Mu's suggestion, and promised that they would not interfere with Mu Tangxue's transfer to Eaton.
Finally managing to salvage some dignity, Papa Mu simply gave up on his daughter.
In his mind, he only ever had one obedient daughter in Mu Tangxue whereas Mu Qiqi had always been deadweight, and he certainly could not ask for more!
"All the necessary documents are signed, so we'll be leaving to brief our client. We'll meet again, Mr. Mu, Mrs. Mu." Having done their job, the lawyers took the agreement with them and quickly left the Mu family's residence.
On the other hand, Mama Mu had her grievance but did not dare to say a thing.
A daughter, gone just like that.
Soon, Papa Mu noticed that Mu Tangxue found Mu Tangxue hidden at the corner of the living room, with one of her feet poking out. He hence called out gently, "Dear, come here."
Having been perceptive towards the emotions of others since a child, Mu Tangxue quickly took a seat beside Papa Mu when she saw his mildness.
"Dear, you are our family's only daughter from now on. I'll give you the best and most precious thingsbaby girl." Papa Mu clapped his hand on her shoulder.
"Daddy..."
"But after you've transferred to Eaton, you must keep an eye on Mu Qiqi and stop her from doing as she likes. Do you understand?"
Papa Mu looked at Mu Tangxue expectantly, perfectly aware of how smart her younger daughter was. Mu Qiqi didn't hold a candle to her, and that was not about to change even if she was gone from the Mu family.
"I know, Daddy." Mu Tangxue nodded.
Even if she couldn't kick Mu Qiqi down to hell, she had at least prevented her from coming home.
Mu Qiqi might be receiving help, but if she kept running into trouble at school, would that rich French national continue supporting her? Keep dreaming on!
Mu Tangxue's very intent on getting into Eaton was to play the same trick she always did: make Mu Qiqi her scapegoat and punch her into the seventh circle of hell.
"I'll have someone make the arrangements as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Daddy."
"By the way, your birthday is around the corner. Remember to invite all your classmates, we'll have a party here at home."
