Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Grandpa Sheng was not happy. But, he had a chance to meet different business partners during the engagement ceremony. He also got to meet the prince from Northern Europe. Certainly, it was beneficial for Huang Yao to expand its business.

So, he could bear with Mu Qiqi just because of that.

Soon, the engagement cake was presented in front of the guests.

Sheng Xiao went to the cake with Mu Qiqi. They held the slicing knife together and cut the giant cake together. The guests applauded them excitedly. At that particular moment, one of the guests came toward them. She smiled confidently at the newlyweds. She even said to them, “I’m sorry for being late, Qiqi.”

The Shen family was shocked when they saw that. Mama Sheng frowned too.

The security guards did not stop her from entering the hotel because she came from the Shen family. But, she was disowned by the Shen family long ago. Why did she appear all of a sudden? What was she plotting now?

“I’ve forgotten to introduce myself. But, some of the elders here know me. I’m the young lady from the Shen family, Shen Ruoyi. I’m also the bride’s, Mu Qiqi’s cousin.” Shen Ruoyi said with a smile. Unexpectedly, Shen Ruoyi pointed at Mu Qiqi and said to the others, “But, do you know what happened to me? My little cousin is the reason why I’m disowned by the Shen family.

“She’s an illegitimate child and she doesn’t even share my surname. But, she managed to kick me out of the Shen family.

“It’s hilarious!

“Moreover, she knows that I’m in love with Uncle Sheng but she didn’t tell me about their relationship. She played me a fool!

“Mu Qiqi, tell me now in front of everybody. Did you use all kinds of tricks and plots just to become a part of the Sheng family?” Shen Ruoyi shouted hysterically.

“You’re a brave intruder. I could do nothing while witnessing you snatching everything which belongs to me step by step. How cunning you are! Now, you’ve gained what you want all along, Mu Qiqi…”

The guests looked at each other after listening to what Shen Ruoyi had said. It seemed that everyone was waiting for that scene since they knew of Mu Qiqi’s birth and background.

Grandpa Shen was infuriated when he saw that. He asked Huang Yu to go and lead her away.

“Second Aunt, I know that you’re going to stop me. But, I’m not afraid of it since I’ve chosen to come here today. I’m prepared to have my reputation ruined and I’ll take Mu Qiqi along with me when I go down to hell…

“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m certain that you’re unaware of how cunning my little cousin is. She got rid of each and every obstacle in both the Mu family and Shen family. She enjoys a great life now and she gets to marry the crown prince. Mu Qiqi, is it fun when your past is exposed in front of everybody?” Shen Ruoyi shoved Huang Yu away and laughed loudly.

“Ruoyi, don’t humiliate your grandpa.”

“But, I was humiliated by all of you.” Shen Ruoyi retorted to Huang Yu. “I don’t think that the Sheng family would like an eighteen-year-old girl like her. I’m sure that they’re more willing to choose me instead of Mu Qiqi if ever they have a chance.”

It was chaotic now. The beautiful engagement ceremony became a battlefield between the sisters because of Shen Ruoyi’s appearance.

Shen Ruoyi was there now because she wanted to create a scene. She wanted to release all her anger and hatred there in front of everybody.

Mama Sheng stepped forward. At first, she wanted to say something but she was stopped by Mu Qiqi. Sheng Xiao was not allowed to speak too. Then, she went straight to Shen Ruoyi and gave her a slap. “It’s fine if you want to condemn me. But, you didn’t even care about Grandpa’s health. You ruined the Shen family’s reputation deliberately. I slapped you so that you’ll recover your senses.”

“You…” Shen Ruoyi touched her face. She was filled with wrath.

“Shen Ruoyi, I’m certain that everyone knows how to differentiate between the good and bad. Everyone has their own stand too. They also know whether their choices are good or bad.

“Do you really think that I have the power to influence others? You might not know that you’ve brought this upon yourself. You’re the one who disappointed Grandpa. So, he had no choice but to abandon you and your family. Moreover, you’re also the one who did not have the awareness of being the young lady from the Shen family. If you’re aware of it, certainly you’ll not stand here and scold me in front of everybody just to release your dissatisfaction and anger. You’ve humiliated the Shen family greatly.

“Today is the day I’m getting engaged with Xiaoxiao. I wouldn’t mind it even if you came to create a scene here. It’s not because I’m generous but I want to tell everyone that I’m not the same as you.

“You’re so selfish that you didn’t care about the Shen family. So, I’ll take responsibility for the Shen family instead.”

“I had been nice to you before. Didn’t I treat you nicely after I returned from overseas?” Shen Ruoyi questioned her.

“Does that include the incident when you hurt me?” Mu Qiqi retorted to Shen Ruoyi. “I’ve investigated the incident which happened during the birthday party in the Lin family. I learned where the medicine came from. If you were sincere, why did you try to harm me?”

Shen Ruoyi was speechless. She turned away.

“I think that the guests here are looking down on me because of my birth. You might like to gossip about me wherever you are.” Suddenly, Mu Qiqi seemed to have let it go and she turned to be frank with the others. She told them her true feelings.

“But, I don’t hate my birth.” Mu Qiqi looked at Shen Jianchuan. Her voice was clear and she sounded sincere. “It’s because I don’t have a choice. I also know that my mom was pregnant with me for ten months before she brought me to this world. She had undergone great pain and danger. She was no different than the other mothers. She was just as brave and strong.

“My dad has been a vegetable for so many years. The rumors were that it was because he was reckless and he liked to fight the others. But, did you know why he became a vegetable? It happened because he was framed and hurt in an accident. That was why he needed to lie in bed for more than ten years.

“How about me? Did you think that you’re so much better and distinguished than me so that you could condemn me however you like?

“But, I won’t let you do that to me. My birth might be complicated. But, the education I’ve received is no less than any of you here. I know about manners and integrity. I’m an independent person too.

“Moreover, the most basic thing you need to do as a human is to respect others. Condemning the others is what one should never do.

“Shen Ruoyi, I exposed myself honestly in front of the guests today. I’m sure that you have nothing against me anymore.

“I’m standing here today as Sheng Xiao’s fiancee. I’m also the Shen family’s granddaughter and I belonged to the Mu family once. But, I didn’t commit any crime. I’ve never tried to harm anybody. I’ve been living an honest life.”

“If you want to sneer at me, go ahead.

“Besides that, who can prove that they’re much more outstanding than me?”
