“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.

After a while, Third Aunt walked into the front hall, holding Mu Tangxue, who was bleeding at the corner of her mouth. Third Aunt shouted, “Father!”

“What happened?” Grandpa Shen walked toward them and saw the miserable state Mu Tangxue was in. Her left cheek was swollen and there was a clear mark of fingers on her cheek.

She was slapped by someone!

Mu Tangxue lowered her head and teared up when she was being questioned. “I do not dare to say it.”

“Say it!” Grandpa ordered. The guests stopped and looked at Mu Tangxue.

Then, Mu Tangxue raised her head and looked at Mu Qiqi, “It’s Sister.”

Hearing her answer, the guests were shocked.

“Sister slapped me because she did not want me to appear in front of everyone. She did not want me to steal her limelight.”

By now, all the guests were looking at Mu Qiqi and started gossiping.

“How can she be so evil at such a young age?”

“Look how hard she had slapped her?”

“You said that I did it. Do you have any proof?” Mu Qiqi asked in a calm tone.

“No, I don’t. But you are my sister. Even if I have proof, I will not go against you. Sister, we are both the members of the Shen family. Why must you fight with me? I am not even a hindrance to you. Look, everyone likes you so much, why must you push me toward a cliff?”

Mu Tangxue used her words with care, maximizing their damage done to Mu Qiqi.

But Mu Qiqi remained calm and steady. She was not in a rush. “I did not.”

“But there were only the two of us together just a moment ago. If it was not you, then it is me who slapped myself? It is ridiculous.”

“Father, when I found Mu Tangxue, she was lying on the floor, unconscious. Qiqi is just too cruel being a sister. We don’t even know if there is any other injury on her body.” Third Aunt played her role. “This is my first time seeing such a cruel sister. You should not cover it up this time. She is just lawless! How could she do this to her sister?”

“Sister, I really have no intention of competing with you. I have never wanted to compete with you to get the Shens’ attention or Grandpa’s love. I have already made concessions, why are you still so cruel?”

“She is so pitiful!”

“How can there be such a cruel sister?”

The guests were having a really bad impression on Mu Qiqi now. And of course, they took pity on Mu Tangxue.

The Shens were completely at a loss. They did not know if Mu Qiqi was really as evil as being said.

“Father, why don’t you let Qiqi return to her room? There are so many guests here. It is not good to talk about this here. I will call for a doctor to check on Mu Tangxue.” Third Aunt’s suggestions were clearly intended to make Mu Qiqi disappear from the ceremony.

Grandpa Shen nodded. When he was about to say something, Mu Qiqi finally said, “Wait, I have something to say.”

“Mu Qiqi, what do you want to say now? She is slapped by you already!” Third Aunt snorted. “You should think of the reputation of the Shen family!”

“Must I be the one who slapped her after you said so?” asked Mu Qiqi. “I can leave if you want me to. But before that, Mu Tangxue has to answer my questions.”

“What else do you want to argue? So many guests saw it.”

“Mu Tangxue said that I slapped her because I did not want her to steal the limelight. But, this is impossible.” Mu Qiqi ignored Third Aunt and turned to the guests. “Do you know why?”
