Mu Chengxu’s assistant stopped the car outside the Jiang family’s estate. Mu Chengxu, who appeared asleep in the car, watched as Jiang Linyan glanced at her before hesitantly thanking the assistant and stepping out.
As soon as Jiang Linyan left the car, Mu Chengxu sat up and watched her departure with a cold smile.
“This girl is too scheming. Unlike my little Xinxin, who wears her heart on her sleeve.”
The assistant, used to Mu Chengxu’s praises for Wen Xin, chuckled, “No matter what Miss Wen does, you always think she’s the best. But it’s true, if Miss Wen wasn’t the best, the Seventh Young Master wouldn’t have fallen for her.”
“That’s a given. I’m increasingly feeling that Mu Chengxi isn’t worthy of little Xinxin. Luckily, he acted swiftly; otherwise, we would have missed such a great girl.”
“Let’s go back and rest, I’m too tired.”
Mu Chengxu withdrew her gaze from the window and turned to find a photo on the car seat. She picked it up, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.
“This photo is so poorly Photoshopped. Mu Chengxi doesn’t have a mole on his shoulder; they don’t even know these small details and still try to create misunderstandings with Photoshop. Ridiculous.”
Mu Chengxu casually placed the photo in her handbag, planning to destroy it later. Even if it wouldn’t cause misunderstandings between Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi, it was disgusting enough to warrant disposal.
What bad luck.
Three days later, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi, along with Zhao Yuyao and Wen Huai, emerged from the airport. Wen Xin sat on her suitcase, checking messages on her phone.
She gently tugged at Mu Chengxi’s sleeve, “Let’s wait at the airport for a while. Xingyue’s plane will land in ten minutes, then we can all go back together.”
“Okay.” Mu Chengxi nodded at Wen Xin, then, pulling the suitcase she was sitting on, headed towards the airport café.
Wen Huai followed behind Wen Xin, noticing Zhao Yuyao looking distracted. He placed an arm around Zhao Yuyao’s shoulder, “You’ve seemed preoccupied the whole trip and still distracted now. What’s going on?”
“Nothing much, it’s just… Zhao Yuzheng is in the capital too. He wants to meet me, says he wants to apologize to Little Aunt.”
Zhao Yuyao looked troubled, unsure how to mention this to Wen Xin, knowing her character would likely not accept Zhao Yuzheng’s apology.
“Don’t bring this up in front of my sister. Remember, she almost obliterated the Zhao family over this issue. If you let Zhao Yuzheng affect her mood again, she won’t be happy.”
Wen Huai was aware of the incident during Wen Xin’s independent enrolment, which had only concluded after the Ma and Chen families were dealt with.
Not taking severe actions against the Zhao family was solely for Zhao Yuyao’s sake. If Zhao Yuzheng angered Wen Xin again, even Zhao Yuyao’s influence wouldn’t spare him.
“I’m torn about it! Zhao Yuzheng has been begging me for days. Since he got my contact, he’s been messaging me non-stop. Now, look…”
As he spoke, Zhao Yuyao’s phone vibrated again—Zhao Yuzheng was calling, apparently determined to reach his goal.
“What’s going on?” Hearing the murmuring behind her, Wen Xin turned her head while sitting on her suitcase and asked in a cool voice.
Startled by Wen Xin’s icy tone, Zhao Yuyao jerked his head up, nearly sending his phone flying.
Observing Zhao Yuyao’s guilty reaction, Wen Xin arched an eyebrow and stretched out her hand toward him, signaling for him to hand over his phone. She wanted to know what was going on.
“Little Aunt… I…”
“Give me the phone!”
Wen Xin’s patience was thinning, her tone becoming colder. Worried about provoking her anger, Zhao Yuyao hurriedly walked over and placed the phone in her hand.
“It’s Zhao Yuzheng. He wants to meet and personally apologize to you.”
Seeing the caller ID on the phone, Wen Xin raised an eyebrow at Zhao Yuyao and answered.
She held the phone to her ear but didn’t rush to speak, silently waiting for the person on the other end to start the conversation.
“Yuyao, I know I was too harsh on Wen Xin. I was brainwashed by Qiu Qiu back then, thinking Wen Xin was worthless. Please ask her to meet me; I want to properly apologize. Whether she forgives me or not, I want to say sorry. Also, I heard her medical skills are impressive, and I was thinking…”
“Don’t even think about it, Zhao Yuzheng. Was the lesson I taught you too light? Must you lose your life to realize some people’s patience has limits?”
Wen Xin spoke coldly, her tone sending chills to those listening.
Zhao Yuzheng dropped his phone in shock, feeling a sudden pain shoot through his arm.
Hearing the sound of the phone hitting the ground, Wen Xin immediately hung up the call and handed the phone back to Zhao Yuyao, her gaze cold as she glanced at him.
“Be more careful when you go back to Ice City. You’ve been trained now, so don’t be worried like before. If you’re not strong, you’ll just be manipulated by others.”
Wen Xin glared at Zhao Yuyao, stepped off the suitcase, and walked into the café with Mu Chengxi holding her hand.
Inside the café, Mu Chengxi ordered a cappuccino for Wen Xin and a Blue Mountain coffee for himself, leaving the other two to choose for themselves.
It wasn’t long before Lisa, accompanied by Tan Xingyue, arrived, following the location Wen Xin had given them.
When Lisa saw Wen Xin, she enthusiastically rushed forward, intending to hug her, but was held her back by Tan Xingyue.
“Don’t touch her, she’s injured.”
Hearing that Wen Xin was injured, everyone except Mu Chengxi was shocked.
“Sister, how did you get injured?”
“Little Aunt, when did you get hurt?”
“Wen, are you okay?”
“Don’t be so surprised. The wound has healed. It was just a minor accident. Everyone, please sit.”
Wen Xin pulled Tan Xingyue to sit next to her, gently pinching her cheek and smiling contentedly.
“It seems Lisa has taken good care of you; your cheeks are plump again!”
At that moment, Tan Xingyue appeared slightly plumper than when Wen Xin left Ice City, and this fuller look made her even more adorable.
Lisa, however, was not pleased with Tan Xingyue’s weight gain. She sighed helplessly, “She’s actually lost a bit of weight! Liang Luoyu has been spoiling her so much she’s practically not ready for the camera. Thankfully, Liang isn’t here now, or it would have been impossible!”
