Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The woman standing behind Wei Shisheng walked in. It was not that she was not afraid of Mu Chengxi, but she just could not bear to see Wei Shisheng suffer.
“That’s right, Young Marshal Mu. You and Shi Sheng were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. The Mu family has long acknowledged Shi Sheng’s identity. You can’t fall for other women just because they’re good-looking.”
After she spoke up for Wei Shisheng, the rest followed suit, condemning Mu Chengxi’s playfulness and Wen Xin’s shamelessness.
“Mu Shao, it’s common for people to have a desire to look beautiful, but there are limits. Some things are worth trying out for the novelty, but it’s not necessary to hurt the person you should love for the sake of someone unrelated.”
“In the capital’s circle, no one can compare to Shi Sheng in terms of status, background, or knowledge. Young Marshal Mu, you have to know who’s the right person for you. You..
Mu Chengxi sat on the sofa, his gaze distant as he listened to them, each blaming him while also insulting Wen Xin.
“Who are you to talk to me in such an agitated manner? Are you the elders of the Mu family? The Mu family can’t even interfere in my matters, so why should you speak up?”
Mu Chengxi stood up and tidied his shirt. He casually rolled up his sleeves and walked to Wei Shisheng.
“You said that you announced your position as the future Seventh Young Mistress of the Mu family to win over the Research Institute. I want to ask you,
who gave you this position?”
“Also, don’t you know how you entered the research institute? Do I need to remind you? Do you think that with your status, you can really make Dean Ma make an exception for you?”
Mu Chengxi looked down at Wei Shisheng condescendingly, his lips curling into a mocking smile. There were some things that he didn’t say, but it didn’t mean that he didn’t know.
Ever since Wen Xin and Ma Wenyuan quarreled yesterday, Mu Chengxi had gone to investigate. It was Wei Shisheng who had framed Wu Zijing in school, which was why she had gotten first place.
However, even after a comprehensive evaluation, she still didn’t meet the recruitment criteria. It was his grandfather who had found Ma Wenyuan and used connections to get her into the research institute through the back door.
Mu Chengxi’s voice was icy cold, and there was no leeway in his tone. Every single word and sentence shattered all of Wei Shisheng’s pride.
“I don’t want to deny this matter again and again. In order to avoid you, I left the capital. Only now do I realize that my hiding allowed you to spread rumors. I’ve said many times that I don’t like you and won’t accept any arrangements.”
The women who came in with Wei Shisheng couldn’t help but gasp. They had heard something they shouldn’t have.
“You’ve asked Mu Bei about my whereabouts time and time again. I’ve already left Mu Bei in the capital. Don’t you know why? I don’t want to see you!”
This was the first time Mu Chengxi had said such cruel words to Wei Shisheng. She could not take it anymore and her body swayed as she involuntarily took a step back.
“We grew up together since childhood, and you think you know her better in a few months?”
Wei Shisheng’s fingers trembled as she pointed at Wen Xin, who was sitting on the sofa playing games as if it had nothing to do with her.
Wen Xin heard that this matter involved her, and she raised her head. Her dark, cold gaze was fixed on Wei Shisheng. “Surprised? Some people, with just one glance, are the right ones, while others, even if you look at them for a lifetime, will never catch their eye!”
Wen Xin’s voice was cold and her tone was casual. To everyone’s ears, she gave off a feeling of arrogance.
“Even without me, you wouldn’t have caught Mu Chengxi’s eye. Mu Chengxi’s vision isn’t that short-sighted. The person who plotted behind the scenes doesn’t have the right to talk about having a noble character here. When you harmed someone behind the scenes, did you not think about how pitiful the girl you harmed was?”
Wen Xin naturally knew what Wei Shisheng had done. If she didn’t know about this, she wouldn’t have been so angry with Ma Wenyuan.
If such people snuck into a research institute, not only could the research results fall into the hands of improper people, but the lives of other researchers might also be in danger.
“From today onwards, the research institute? of Physical Biology doesn’t
welcome you. You don’t have to go to the Research Institute anymore. As for what you did, the Research Institute will pass it on to the Physics Department of Beijing University.”
Wen Xin’s tone was calm. One sentence was enough to decide Wei Shisheng’s life and death. Although she didn’t care about the research institute, not even Ma Wenyuan had the right to refute her words.
“Wen Xin, who do you think you are? Do you think people will believe you? You’re just a village girl that Chengxi has taken a fancy to. The Mu family will never acknowledge you. You’re worse than an ant in the capital. What right do you have to talk to me like this?”
Wei Shisheng was so agitated that she wanted to rush to Wen Xin’s side and tear apart Wen Xin’s annoying pride and confidence.
Mu Chengxi saw this and wanted to stop Wei Shisheng, worried that she would hurt Wen Xin.
Before Mu Chengxi could even touch Wei Shisheng, she suddenly stood rooted to the ground. She did not move, not even a sound could be heard.
Everyone in the room looked at Wei Shisheng in shock. They had no idea what had happened. They only saw Wei Shisheng standing stiffly on the spot, her mouth opening and closing, unable to make a sound.
“Why is it so lively?”
At this moment, there was a commotion in the corridor. Liang Luoyu had seen many people standing at the door of the private room and had come to see.
Upon hearing Liang Luoyu’s voice, everyone turned their heads to look. They involuntarily made way for Liang Luoyu and the others to enter.
Liang Luoyu and Gu Yanzhe walked into the room. Behind them was a man in a suit. The man’s forehead was covered in sweat. It was unknown if it was because of the heat or if something had happened.
When he walked into the room, he saw Wei Shisheng standing there in a
strange posture, her expression ferocious and terrifying.
Liang Luoyu didn’t know what was going on. He walked up to Wei Shisheng and sized her up. “Miss Wei, what’s wrong with you? Are you performing acrobatics for Master Xi here?”
It’s not surprising for the unruly Liang Luoyu to say such words, but with so many people here, it’s embarrassing for Wei Shisheng. He could not ignore it because if this matter reached the ears of Wei’s elder, he might report it to Liang’s elder.
Gu Yanzhe pulled Liang Luoyu to the side. He looked at Wen Xin, who was sitting on the sofa with a calm expression as if it had nothing to do with her.
He had heard that when Wen Xin was treating Old Madam Mu’s illness, Wen Xin had used a silver needle to shut Dr. Sun Miao up. It took a week for Sun Miao to regain the ability to speak. Because of this incident, Sun Miao tried to accuse Wen Xin of personal injury, but she was ultimately suppressed by Young Master Xi..
