Mu Chengxi listened to Old Madam Mu’s words, and it seemed everything was as he expected. He smiled at Wen Xin, who raised an eyebrow in response.

“Grandma, such rumors are actually quite amusing. I indeed come from a rural background, with no special status. It’s only through Young Master Mu’s favor that I have the opportunity to be by his side and gain Old Madam Mu’s appreciation…”

Wen Xin’s words were interrupted as the butler couldn’t hold back a laugh. Following him, Auntie Fu and others also burst into laughter, with the old lady joining in.

“Enough, enough. You young people and your wild ways, do as you please. I, as a grandmother, can see how much my grandson cares for you. You really are a clever and delightful girl!”

Old Madam Mu looked helplessly at Wen Xin, who pretended to be pitiful. Adoration filled her gaze; she found the young girl utterly charming.

“Alright, I’m going to rest for a while. You guys go play. Take Young Master Wen around the garden, and have the butler call you back when it’s time for dinner.”

Old Madam Mu stood up with the help of Auntie Fu, gesturing towards the outdoors. The weather was not too hot, perfect for a stroll in the garden.

In the car, Old Master Jiang’s expression was dark. Jiang Linyan sat beside him, head bowed, not daring to speak much, knowing her grandfather was angry at her.

“Grandfather, I know I was somewhat unreasonable today, and you’ve scolded me already. Please don’t be angry, it’s bad for your health!”

Jiang Linyan’s voice was soft, soothing Old Master Jiang. She was genuinely frightened for her grandfather’s condition. If her actions worsened his condition, the Jiang family wouldn’t forgive her.

“Though I was angry at you today, I’m angrier at myself. I got carried away by your instigation and made a scene at the Mu’s.”

“You saw Old Madam Mu’s attitude, right? She doesn’t even know Wen Xin’s real background. She simply adores Wen Xin, cherishing her as her future granddaughter-in-law!”

“What does our behavior today amount to? We’ve tried to diminish her worth and even thought of breaking up their relationship to arrange a marriage with Mu Chengxi for you. I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life!”

“Linyan, you’re the Jiang family’s lady, pampered since childhood. There are so many eligible young men in the capital’s elite circles; why obsess over Mu Chengxi alone?”

Old Master Jiang earnestly tried to persuade Jiang Linyan to reconsider her actions to avoid doing something rash, especially since her behavior at the Mu’s was already out of control, unbecoming of a Jiang family lady.

“As for the doctor who operated on me, I don’t want to delve too deeply into that. I believe Wen Xin, so you don’t need to explain anything to me. I just hope you can let go of your obsessions and grievances and live a good life.”

Old Master Jiang’s affection for Jiang Linyan could forgive much, but he hoped this incident would make her more sensible and stop her from harboring any special feelings towards Mu Chengxi.

“Grandfather, she’s just a country girl and is simply not worthy of Mu Chengxi. You saw her behavior; she doesn’t deserve to be with Mu Chengxi.”

Jiang Linyan had been smitten with Mu Chengxi from the moment she first saw him; the idea of yielding to someone else was inconceivable. She wasn’t ready to let go.

“It’s not for you to decide whether she’s worthy or not. As long as the Mu family likes her, that’s enough. Old Madam Mu has never been so affectionate even towards Wei Shisheng, but her attitude towards Wen Xin is clear. Put away those improper thoughts, or don’t blame me for not looking out for you!”

Old Master Jiang was exasperated by Jiang Linyan’s stubbornness. He no longer wanted to involve himself in the younger generation’s affairs.

Especially after today’s embarrassment, and now knowing Wen Xin’s identity, he wanted even less to interfere.

Her mother had saved his life, and now she had too. He could never repay two generations of life-saving favors.

“Driver, pull over.” Jiang Linyan, feeling unvalued by her grandfather, was deeply upset.

Her willful attitude disappointed Old Master Jiang, who coldly ordered, “Stop by the side, let her out right here.”

The driver, obedient to Old Master Jiang, pulled the car over to the side of the road.

As the car stopped, Jiang Linyan impulsively opened the door and jumped out. Her resentful demeanor deeply saddened Old Master Jiang.

Sitting in the car, Old Master Jiang watched Jiang Linyan’s retreating figure without turning back. Irritated, he snorted coldly and coldly commanded the driver, “Drive!”

Walking down the street, Jiang Linyan felt increasingly wronged. Unable to catch even a fleeting glance from Mu Chengxi, she had thought to manipulate her way through Old Madam Mu by involving her grandfather. But now, not only did her grandfather refuse to help, he even warned her. If she could control her obsessions, she wouldn’t have had to go to such lengths to get close to Mu Chengxi.

As Jiang Linyan walked down the street, a car horn suddenly sounded behind her.

Turning around, she saw Qian Meng sitting in a luxurious sports car, the window slowly rolling down.

“Well, isn’t this Miss Jiang? Walking alone on the street? Can I give you a ride?”

Qian Meng eyed Jiang Linyan’s attractive figure, his hand rubbing his chin as he gave a lusting smile.

If it weren’t for Mu Chengxi’s exceptionally striking appearance and overwhelming presence, Qian Meng himself would also be considered a top-tier handsome man.

Jiang Linyan, recalling a hint from Wei Shisheng, thought maybe she could collaborate with Qian Meng.

She walked over to Qian Meng’s car, opened the door, and sat down. Casually tossing her handbag aside, she picked up a cigarette from Qian Meng’s box, lit it, and started smoking.

Seeing Jiang Linyan’s actions, Qian Meng’s sharp eyes slightly narrowed, his face showing a hint of surprise.

“Well, Miss Jiang seems different from the rumors! The Jiang Miss known to all is educated and graceful, a lady of a reputable family. How come you’ve become so unrestrained in my car?”

“This isn’t like you at all!”

Unperturbed by Qian Meng’s teasing, Jiang Linyan took a drag on her cigarette and then blew the smoke towards him, “That’s just for outsiders to see. Doesn’t everyone have their own personality? What’s your intention, Young Master Qian, by provoking me? You should know, I don’t enjoy mingling with your crowd.”

Qian Meng and Mu Chengxi were well-known to be at odds in the capital’s social circles, dividing the city’s young elite into two factions.
