Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Still feeling touched by Ma Wenyuan’s actions, Wen Zhimo wrapped her arms around Ma Wenyuan and leaned against his chest. “Are we really going back to your Ma’s family’s old house and living in the servants’ quarters? Your two sons and daughter probably won’t agree.”
Ma Wenyuan gently smiled at Wen Zhimo’s coquetry. “Those three kids wouldn’t adapt well to that environment indeed. Let’s forget about it and just stay at home.”
“So, what should we do now?” Wen Zhimo looked up at Ma Wenyuan, unsure if he still needed to deal with matters at the research institute.
“Let’s go see Miss Wen. She had a big tantrum at the University today…” Ma Wenyuan walked towards his car while informing Wen Zhimo about what happened at Beijing University.
Hearing about Wen Xin’s distress, Wen Zhimo felt that she had wasted her affection on Chen Yunchu for so many years. It was unfair how they treated Wen Xin and Wen Huai.
“Miss Wen blocked my number. Give her a call to try. Although she and you don’t get along well, she has always been respectful to you.”
Realizing that Wen Xin’s grades were very good and that her academic achievements and talents in piano and medicine were outstanding, Wen Zhimo realized she had been biased against her all along and had never cared about her.
“I’ll try calling her. If I can’t get through, I won’t disturb her for now. Let her calm down first.
“Okay, let’s try calling her first…”
Ma Wenyuan understood Wen Xin’s temper. He could have contacted Mu Chengxi directly, as he heard they were together earlier, but he didn’t dare to, fearing Wen Xin’s wrath.
After Wen Zhimo dialed the phone, it rang twice before being answered. The voice on the other end was a male’s.
“Young Marshal Mu?” Wen Zhimo was somewhat surprised that Mu Chengxi answered the call. She thought her call might be rejected but didn’t expect Mu Chengxi to pick up.
Upon hearing that Mu Chengxi had answered the call, Ma Wenyuan took the phone from Wen Zhimo’s hand. “Young Marshal Mu, how is Wen Xin doing?”
“She’s sleeping, still angry. She’ll be taking the entrance exam for self-enrollment tomorrow. I’ll personally handle that matter.”
Mu Chengxi’s words were clear. Anyone who angered Wen Xin wouldn’t be spared.
Looking at the phone after hanging up, Ma Wenyuan’s expression turned serious. He looked at Wen Zhimo. “Mu Chengxi is going to take action. I’m afraid the Chen family won’t be able to hold on…”
When Mu Chengxi answered the call, Ma Wenyuan had a premonition of impending trouble. He knew Wen Xin wouldn’t touch the Ma family out of respect for him, but Mu Chengxi wouldn’t hold back. The first to suffer would be the Chen family.
“In that case…” Wen Zhimo thought of Ma Wenyuan’s assertive sister, Ma Wenxiu, and felt they didn’t deserve sympathy.
“Let’s go home. We’ll wait for these people to come knocking on our door. Your sister will definitely cause a scene again… It’s really a headache.”
Seemingly accustomed to Ma Wenxiu’s tantrums, Wen Zhimo felt somewhat helpless. She couldn’t understand how Ma Wenyuan, who was elegant and refined, could have such a sister.
When Wen Xin woke up, it was already past 8 p.m. The sky outside was dark. Wen Xin heard voices in the study. She walked to the door and gently pushed it open a crack. Mu Bei and Mu Chengxi were talking inside, seemingly discussing something important.
Seeing Wen Xin awake, Mu Chengxi stood up and walked to her side, holding her hand, which felt slightly cold. He furrowed his brows.
“Why didn’t you wear a coat before coming out?”
“I didn’t feel cold. What were you guys talking about?” Wen Xin looked at Mu Bei. She knew that after Mu Dong and Liang Luoyu were injured, Gu Yanzhe hadn’t returned to handle the aftermath, so Mu Bei was busy. His appearance here was somewhat unexpected to Wen Xin.
“About the Chen family. Do you want to take a look?” Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand and sat down on the sofa, taking the documents Mu Bei brought and handing them to Wen Xin.
After reading them, Wen Xin’s lips curled up slightly, and she smiled faintly. “This Chen family isn’t much of a big clan. Their daughter is just too arrogant.”
Looking at the documents, Wen Xin felt that the Chen family’s assets weren’t worth looking at. Seeing how arrogant Chen Yunchu was, she had thought that the Chen family was at least on par with the Liang family.
“The Chen family rose to prominence entirely thanks to the Ma family. Chen Yunchu can be so arrogant only because the Ma family gave her the courage. I heard that even Mr. Ma’s two sons and daughter don’t have the same status in the Ma family as Chen Yunchu does.”
Mu Bei stood up when Wen Xin approached, standing respectfully to the side as he answered Wen Xin’s question.
“It’s really interesting. He doesn’t dote on his son’s child but his daughter’s child. I don’t understand. I don’t understand. It’s getting cold. Just bankrupt them directly!”
Wen Xin had no sympathy for insignificant people, especially troublemakers.
“You handle it. Let the Chen family’s business be handled by Chen Lingxiao. There must be some personal grudges between them, so he won’t show any mercy.”
Upon hearing Mu Chengxi’s instructions, Mu Bei looked at Mu Chengxi. It seemed that the real schemer in their family was Mu Chengxi. Letting Chen Lawyer handle it meant that the Chen family would have no good ending. He was truly ruthless.
“Alright, I’ll go handle it now. Master Xi, the butler from the Mu family called ten minutes ago, saying that the Old Madam asked for food to be sent to you and Miss Wen. Don’t forget to accept it. I’ll go deal with the Chen family’s affairs first.’
“Okay.” Mu Chengxi responded indifferently. He had originally planned to take Wen Xin out for dinner, but since food had been sent from the old mansion, he decided not to bother Wen Xin with going out.
Sitting back on the sofa in a different position, Wen Xin picked up her phone from the table and glanced at it. There were a few messages from Chu
Yunxuan.
As she was about to reply to the messages, she saw a notification about a call from someone in her blacklist. She checked her contacts and saw a missed call from Wen Zhimo. The call had been answered.
Wen Xin turned her head to look at Mu Chengxi, who was watching her. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, “Did you answer my aunt’s call? What did she want?”
“Ma Wenyuan asked her to call. I didn’t ask him what it was about. I just told him I would personally deal with the Chen family.”
Mu Chengxi’s concise words matched his demeanor. Wen Xin chuckled lightly, then leaned against Mu Chengxi’s side. “Ma Wenyuan has actually been quite good to me. I didn’t want to involve him before. I just wanted to give him some face.
“Not retaliating against the Ma family was already giving him face. Chen
Yunchu grew up by Old Master Ma’s side. Her audacity is mostly due to the Ma family’s influence..”
