Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

Shen Yu patted Shen Qingqing on the shoulder and comforted her, saying, "Qingqing, you are the daughter of the Shen family, and you will always be the daughter of the Shen family. No one can drive you away!"

Don't worry about these things. Mom and I will handle it. Just focus on getting better.

"I know my second brother cares about me and pities me, but my second brother...!"

Shen Qingqing's tears flowed even more. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Shen Yu through her teary eyes: "I can't forget what Young Master Qiao said!"

It was all my fault! If I had left sooner, it would have been best for the Shen family and for Xiaxia!

"I'm okay... I'm okay... Let me bear this infamy alone... As long as you and Xiaxia can be happy, I'll do anything..."

"Qingqing!"

Shen Yu sighed, gently pulled Shen Qingqing into his arms, and tenderly wiped away her tears: "My sister is the kindest and most adorable person, she has never had any bad intentions."

You're always so considerate of others, how could that be your fault? Don't take all the blame upon yourself.

Besides, Mom and my second brother both said that you'll only be their daughter in the Shen family, so don't overthink it. Mom and my second brother will handle everything."

Shen Yu comforted Shen Qingqing for a long time before she calmed down.

Afterwards, Shen Yu fed Shen Qingqing some porridge and watched her lie down on the bed to sleep before quietly leaving the ward to make a phone call.

......

After having a great time, Qiao Zihao happily returned home.

Pushing open the door, one sees the father, Mu Wenbo, and his illegitimate son, Mu Zisheng, sitting in the living room, their expressions serious.

Qiao Zihao rolled his eyes and turned to go upstairs.

An angry roar came from behind: "Stop!"

He slammed his hand on the table, looked at Qiao Zihao sternly, and scolded, "You made a mistake, and instead of saying a word, you have the nerve to run upstairs?"

Qiao Zihao curled his lip and muttered, "Life is so boring and tasteless, even pheasants are giving us pointers."

After saying that, he continued walking upstairs.

Mu Wenbo was trembling with rage. Pointing at Qiao Zihao, he cursed without any regard for his image: "You unfilial son! You unfilial son!"

Seeing this, Mu Zisheng, the illegitimate son standing nearby, quickly spoke up to advise, "Second brother, although Father has done some things wrong, he is still your father. Isn't it inappropriate for you to speak to him like that?"

Qiao Zihao stared at Mu Zisheng with icy eyes: "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here? Or do you want to taste my fist?"

Although I'm in a good mood today, if you really want it, your grandpa can make it happen!

Mu Wenbo's chest heaved with rage as he roared, "Insolence! Who do you think you are, grandpa?!"

Qiao Zihao clapped his hands as if suddenly realizing something, and said with a smile, "Oh! Right! That bastard Mu Zisheng doesn't deserve to be my grandson!"

"You...!" Mu Wenbo was so angry that he trembled all over and suddenly grabbed a teacup, about to smash it at Qiao Zihao.

"Have you made enough of a scene?" Just then, Qiao Zihao's older brother, Mu Yun, slowly walked down from upstairs.

His gaze swept coldly over Mu Wenbo.

Mu Wenbo's arrogance vanished instantly, and he sheepishly put the teacup back in its place.

"Mu Yun! I'm not trying to be mean, but Zi Hao went too far!"

Mu Wenbo sat back down on the sofa, but his tone had softened considerably: "You need to discipline him properly!"

Mu Yun glanced at Mu Wenbo disdainfully, ignored him, and instead waved to Qiao Zihao.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Zihao immediately followed him to the study, smiling ingratiatingly, "Brother, did you need something from me?"

"You like that Shi Xiaxia?" Mu Yun asked bluntly.

Qiao Zihao didn't say anything.

The older brother understood immediately: "It's unrequited love!"

Qiao Zihao immediately bristled, his eyes wide as he stubbornly declared, "She has feelings for me!"

"Heh!" Mu Yun chuckled softly, picked up a document, and gently tapped Qiao Zihao.

Qiao Zihao immediately became obedient.

Mu Yun then got down to business: "We have a partnership with the Shen family, so we should show them some respect when we meet Miss Shen on the show."

"Who said that?!"

Qiao Zihao stared wide-eyed and asked, "And what Miss Shen? Where did this Miss Shen come from?! You know the current situation of the Shen family, brother, why are you still lecturing me for their sake?"

"Where did I teach you a lesson?" Mu Yun said, both amused and exasperated.

"I do not care!"

Qiao Zihao started acting like a rogue: "Anyway, that Shen Qingqing is no good person! I didn't do anything wrong! I even feel like I didn't speak too harshly!"

Mu Yun looked at Qiao Zihao with a helpless expression and didn't say anything.

After Qiao Zihao finished complaining, he kept muttering to himself, asking who had sent Mu Yun to teach him a lesson.

"It's Young Master Shen." Mu Yun's head was starting to ache from his repeated pronouncements.

After getting the answer, Qiao Zihao didn't say anything more, but he had a look of disdain for the Shen family: "Shen Qingqing is a honeyed-hearted dagger, full of scheming. I don't believe she really doesn't know anything!"

Judging from her appearance, it's clear the Shen family are no good; it's better to end the cooperation sooner rather than later.

Mu Yun shook his head helplessly: "Business matters can't be severed just like that."

Qiao Zihao continued to urge, "Then let's break it off slowly! Anyway, the Shen family is definitely finished."

Mu Yun neither agreed nor disagreed, but simply said, "Miss Shen is ill and has been wronged. You should refrain from causing trouble for the next few days."

"Okay~" Qiao Zihao drawled out, answering lazily.

"Alright, go and rest!" Mu Yun got a headache just looking at Qiao Zihao's nonchalant attitude.

After leaving the study, Qiao Zihao stuck out his tongue at the study door: "I agreed, but I didn't nod!"

After returning to his room, he picked up his phone and started posting sarcastic and sarcastic messages about Shen Qingqing.

He wrote in an extremely sincere tone: "Miss Shen, Mrs. Shen, I was wrong. I shouldn't have mocked you and made you suffer. Please, please, don't let the Second Young Master Shen put any more pressure on our family."

My older brother beat me up badly in order to cooperate with the Shen family, and he also ordered me not to go out recently, and not to provoke the eldest daughter of the Shen family again.

I promise I'll never do it again. Please forgive me. I promise I won't do it again. I hope Young Master Shen will show mercy and not blacklist me...

In the following several thousand words, Qiao Zihao talked about how much he loved acting.

After editing his short essay, Qiao Zihao added some photos of his wounds to show his sincerity; the photos looked very realistic.

Therefore, the short essay immediately caused a huge uproar online.

Originally, the controversy surrounding Shi Xiaxia and the Shen family had not yet died down, and everyone was sympathizing with Shi Xiaxia and disliking the Shen family.

Qiao Zihao posted this short essay again, and netizens were instantly blown away.

They all shifted their focus away from Mao Xin's father and turned their attention to the Shen family, beginning to accuse Shen Qingqing and Shen Yu of bullying others by relying on their family's power.
