A Big Shot’s Woman Is Wild and Fierce - Chapter 798
Chapter 798: Chapter 797: Anyone who blocks my way must die…
Wen Xin didn’t poke holes in Mu Chengxi’s careful thoughts; she cleverly nodded and leaned against Mu Chengxi.
“Uncle Sa, after returning to Beijing, do you have a place to stay? If not, you can stay at the villa. Right now, only the butler and Wen Huai are there.”
Sa Ning twisted his body to look at Wen Xin leaning naturally in Mu Chengxi’s arms. When he heard Wen Xin’s words, he met her bright, black eyes with his gaze.
“Qian Ye’s plan is to bring the experimental data back to the lab as soon as possible. As for the place to stay, we have our own house near the research institute. Although we haven’t been back for a long time, there has always been dedicated staff keeping it clean. We can stay there once we get back, so you don’t need to worry.”
After understanding Qian Ye and Sa Ning’s thoughts, Wen Xin nodded and didn’t insist they stay at her place.
“Then, as soon as we can receive signals, I’ll contact Ma Wenyuan immediately. He’s been in Beijing recently. Uncle Ma will be very happy and excited to hear that you and Teacher want to return to the lab.”
At this moment, whenever Wen Xin thought of those seniors returning to the research institute, she would get somewhat excited. She felt impressive, that she could continue her parents’ work.
As soon as the car left the signal-blocking area, it began to vibrate incessantly. There were so many messages coming through that Wen Xin could hardly keep up.
Finally, Wen Xin had no choice but to set her phone aside, waiting until all the messages had been received before picking it back up.
Wen Xin picked up her phone but didn’t check the messages right away. Instead, she found Ma Wenyuan’s contact in the address book and dialed it.
Just after the phone rang twice, Ma Wenyuan answered, “Miss, is there something you need? I heard you skipped more classes at Jingda University. Are you aware that finals are coming up, you… ”
“You’re so noisy! I didn’t call you to hear you nag me!”
Wen Xin’s tone was somewhat irritable as she spoke. She was originally in a good mood, wanting to share with him about finding Sa Ning and Qian Ye. However, listening to him go on, she was not very pleased.
Her cool tone successfully made Ma Wenyuan shut up, and he cooperatively hummed in agreement, indicating that he had realized how annoying he was being.
“Do you have time this afternoon? I…,” Wen Xin lifted her hand to check the time on her wristwatch, roughly estimating their arrival time to Beijing. If there were no traffic jams, they should make it around one o’clock.
“We should arrive in Beijing around one o’clock this afternoon. If you’re free, meet me at Tianhai Pavilion; I’ve brought back two old friends for you.”
‘Old friends?’ Ma Wenyuan was very curious about the old friends mentioned by Wen Xin. He didn’t know whom she was bringing.
But as long as they were friends brought by Wen Xin, Ma Wenyuan was looking forward to meeting them.
“All right, then I’ll be waiting for you at Tianhai Pavilion at one.”
“We’ll talk when we meet.”
After making arrangements with Ma Wenyuan, Wen Xin hung up the phone. She held her constantly vibrating phone, feeling somewhat annoyed, but still forced herself to patiently read through all the unread messages.
When Wen Xin saw a message from Alfredo, her finger paused on the screen before she opened it.
“The Wen family has come to Beijing, be very careful…”
“Wen Yunuo’s schemes run deeper than those of the Old Fox. Unless there’s no other choice, I advise you not to confront him…”
“Wen Xin, I’m reminding you, don’t forget, don’t make a move against the people of the Wen family and Beijing while you are here. Take care of them when you are back in the Independent State.”
“Wen Xin, you don’t have to shoulder everything on your own, remember that you have me, and I will never betray you!”
Seeing the word “betray” on the phone, Wen Xin’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous light flashing in her gaze.
Mu Chengxi felt that Wen Xin’s mood wasn’t very good. She reached out to take Wen Xin into her arms, gently kissed her forehead, and asked her tenderly,
“What’s wrong? Who has upset you?”
Wen Xin buried her head in Mu Chengxi’s chest and hugged her tightly. This action made Mu Chengxi even more anxious.
Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin in her arms, her voice gentle yet agitated, “What’s going on? Who has upset you?”
Wen Xin shook her head while nestled in Mu Chengxi’s arms, and said in a muffled voice, “I’m fine, I just need to lean on you for a while.”
Seeing Wen Xin’s distressed and pained expression, Mu Chengxi sighed softly and didn’t press further about what had happened, but just held Wen Xin tightly in her arms.
When Wen Yunuo was sent back to his place in Beijing by Alfredo’s men, he had returned to normal, but a crimson mark remained on his neck, which any clever person could tell what had happened.
Xiao Ci poured a glass of water for Wen Yunuo and placed it in front of him. He looked at the mark on Wen Yunuo’s neck, his brow furrowing deeply.
“Young Master Wen, your neck… what happened?”
Wen Yunuo’s hand subconsciously touched his own neck, and he let out a cold laugh, “It was Alfredo. I never thought until now that he would lay a hand on me, and all because of a woman.”
As he spoke, Wen Yunuo’s expression turned fierce. He vowed in his heart that he would return the favor two-fold. He cared about Wen Xin, didn’t he? He wanted to see Wen Xin in trouble right before his eyes. He was eager to see who truly held the power.
“How is the preparation on Jiang Linyan’s side? Is the sycophant guarding that Miss Tan taken care of? When can we get our hands on that girl?”
Wen Yunuo had been studying Wen Xin for a long time. He knew the number of people Wen Xin cared about was few, only Wen Huai and that Miss Tan.
He would not touch Wen Huai, as his goal was Wen Xin’s compliance, not to drive her insane. He remembered very well the frenzy Wen Xin had been in before; she was a devil who didn’t care about her own life, one who would drag him to hell with her.
He didn’t want to go to hell with her, so all he wanted was for her to obediently hand over the power she held. Once he got what he wanted, Wen Xin would no longer have any reason to live.
He didn’t want to be a puppet, nor did he need Wen Xin to be his. Wen Xin was too difficult to control. The only way to keep her from interfering was to have her die.
Seeing the ruthlessness in Wen Yunuo’s eyes, Xiao Ci quietly stepped back and spoke honestly, “Jiang Linyan has been trying to find a way, but Liang Luoyu is Mu Chengxi’s person, and with the Liang family under Mu Chengxi’s protection, even Jiang Linyan can’t make a move.”
“So there’s no way to get Liang Luoyu to leave… and there’s never been a chance to act against Tan Xingyue.”
