Chapter 500 - Still Lying



Chapter 500: Still Lying

Sheng Bowen was really angry this time. He clutched Hu Ran’s hand and was ready to leave. Just then, Grandpa Sheng finally opened his mouth.

“Ziling, tell me honestly. What’s your father’s illness?”

Gu Ziling shuddered. She looked at Grandpa Sheng. But when she was about to say anything, she stopped.

“Just tell me honestly, I won’t blame you.”

“He’s having headaches and sometimes he is unconscious…”

“It should already be diagnosed, right?”

“I don’t know.” Gu Ziling started to cry. “Grandpa, I really don’t know. This is what my mother told me.”

“Still lying.” Third Brother rolled his eyes.

“Alright, we shall look into the matter after some time. As for the ring, why do you decide it on your own?” Grandpa Sheng looked at Gu Ziling sharply.

“I just want to garner some respect for Huang Yao. I really didn’t know the value of the ring.”

“It’s forgivable that you don’t know about it. But, it is a gift from Second Brother. Are you really willing to let it go?”

Gu Ziling broke out in a cold sweat. “I…”

“And one last question. It is true that Mu Qiqi has stolen Sheng Xiao away. But you are Second Brother’s wife now. When you said those things in the public, had you ever thought of the effects they have on Second Brother?”

After listening to Grandpa Sheng’s questions, Gu Ziling’s legs gave out and she fell onto the ground.

“Grandpa, I didn’t do it on purpose. I was just provoked by Mu Qiqi.”

“Provoke? Can you simply say anything after being provoked? Ziling, I always thought that you are a dignified and decent lady. But now, look at you. How can I trust you anymore? Huh?”

Gu Ziling knelt on the ground. She could not respond. Because she was guilty.

“If Second Brother becomes the chairman of Huang Yao in the future, how can you manage the Sheng family well? You disappoint me!”

Grandpa Sheng banged his walking stick on the ground. Then, he said to Sheng Kai, “You should handle your wife yourself. I don’t want to see her face now. Don’t let her manage the Sheng family for the time being. She should learn to control her mouth first.”

Hearing this, Gu Ziling fell onto the ground.

“Grandpa…”

“Now that I am done with Ziling, I shall ask you. Xiao Ran, did you collude with Mu Qiqi to frame your second sister-in-law?”

Hu Ran rolled her eyes and said firmly, “Grandpa, I was trampled by Second Sister-in-law the whole time. I did not collude with Mu Qiqi. It was the first time we had met. Why would she want to collude with me by the way? If you don’t trust me, you can investigate.”

“I trust you,” Grandpa Sheng said directly.

After all, it was Gu Ziling’s fault in the beginning.

“It’s good that you trust me. Otherwise, I will have no place to seek justice.” Hu Ran harrumphed.

Sheng Bowen took the chance to warn Sheng Kai. “Second Brother, take care of your wife. don’t let her come out and slander people. Xiao Ran has just recovered. I don’t wish to see her being hurt by someone for no reason. And one more thing, I still think that collaborating with Tiffany & Co. will lead to trouble. Just wait and see.”

“Ziling, let’s go.”

“Xiao Ran, let’s go.”

The brother’s helped their respective wife into their respective rooms. The living room had finally become quiet again.

Grandpa Sheng turned his head and looked at his butler. He asked, “Who do you believe?”

“Don’t you have the answer in your heart already, Master?”

“Go and investigate the Gu family. I want to know how serious Ziling’s father’s condition is.”

“Yes, Master.”

Who would Grandpa Sheng believe? He only believed in advantage. All in all, he was very disappointed with Gu Ziling’s performance this time. He found it difficult to entrust her with important tasks.

If the Gu family fell, this daughter-in-law would become useless.

For this reason, he must side with Hu Ran.

As for whether Hu Ran had colluded with Eighth Brother or not, he would find out himself.

Soon, everyone knew what Gu Ziling had done yesterday. And the news about the Gu family made it to the headlines. It’s just that they still did not know Papa Gu’s condition.

As for Sheng Kai, although he seemed to support his wife when he held her into the room, it did not mean that he was not angry.

Once they got into the room, Sheng Kai let go of his wife and went to his office in Huang Yao. Now that she had admitted that she still had feelings for Eighth Brother, why should he submit to humiliation?

Gu Ziling knew she was in a difficult situation. But once she left the Sheng family, she could not imagine what Hu Ran would do to her. Now that she had barely survived, she would not offend any Sheng in the house.

In the other room, Third Brother was helping Hu Ran to sit on the bed. He asked worriedly, “Are you okay?”

Hu Ran shook her head. “It’s just that I did not get rid of Second Sister-in-law completely. What a shame.”

“If anything happens to the Gu family, this will eventually happen. Don’t worry. Third Sheng Brother comforted Hu Ran. “You met with Qiqi. Did you talk to her?”

“She said that she was taught by Sheng Xiao. Is it true?” Hu Ran was very curious about Mu Qiqi.

“Yes. Xiao Qi saved Eighth Brother once when she was seventeen. Then, she was rescued by Eighth Brother. Xiao Qi was bullied by everyone at that time. Eighth Brother could not stand seeing it so he taught Xiao Qi how to retaliate. So, to Xiao Qi, Eighth Brother is not just her lover. He is also her savior, her uncle, and her teacher.”

“I can see that your brother loves Qiqi very much. That’s why she can become so confident.”

“Indeed. If Qiqi wants the moon, I bet Eighth Brother will get it for her.”

Hu Ran could understand the relationship between Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi. It was not just love.

To Mu Qiqi, Sheng Xiao must be her hero.

“I have seen Qiqi’s combat skills today. And reality proves that Gu Ziling does not even qualify as Qiqi’s opponent.”

Third Sheng Brother grabbed Hu Ran’s hand and looked at her seriously. “You don’t have to envy them. We can be like them as well.”

“Third Brother, tell me frankly. Are you interested in becoming the crown prince of Huang Yao?”

“It’s a lie if I say that I don’t.” Especially when he saw Sheng Kai swell up with pride, he wished he was the CEO of Huang Yao. Then, he would be able to save the company.

“Then we shall take advantage of the situation now and make it ours.”

“But we..”

They were just average people. There was nothing special about them.

“We can surely overcome the odds if we support each other. By the way, don’t contact Sheng Xiao for the time being. Grandpa will surely check on it.”
