Chapter 648: 647: I Don’t Know What Politeness Is Anymore
“If it’s nothing, I’m hanging up!”
Wen Xin’s demeanor suddenly cooled, and without waiting for Ma Wenyuan to say anything more, she hung up the call.
Looking at his disconnected call, Ma Wenyuan let out a long sigh. He felt that this was more like it, his missus should indeed have this sort of untouchable and tsundere aura.
After ending Ma Wenyuan’s call, Wen Xin’s phone rang again. It was Nan Xu.
Right when she answered, she heard Nan Xu’s breathless voice, “Wen Xin, I’ve just gotten off the plane. I’m on my way to the outside of the airport, Chen Yian is waiting for me. It might take some time before I can get to the lab, so don’t worry. How is Mu Chengxi doing now?”
“He’s alright now. As for the blood sample, I’ll need your help to analyze it. Don’t rush too much, just a set of data will do!”
Wen Xin’s words left Nan Xu quite puzzled, and she unconsciously slowed her pace.
She didn’t know what had happened in the past few hours, but what interested her more was how Mu Chengxi had recovered.
“What’s going on? Did you find a way to treat him? His sudden fever is very abnormal. How did you handle it?”
“I’ll explain everything to you when you come back. It’s not very convenient to talk about it over the phone.” Wen Xin didn’t want to avoid explaining to Nan Xu, but the situation was too complex to clarify in a sentence or two. She would explain it to her slowly once she returned.
“Alright, I’ve just spotted Chen Yian. I’m heading back to the lab now. I’ll call you once I have the data.”
Before Wen Xin could respond, Nan Xu hung up the call. Wen Xin casually tossed her phone aside, stretched lazily, and felt quite exhausted from the day’s turmoil.
Mu Chengxi, lying on the bed, watched Wen Xin’s lazy demeanor, propped himself up with his arms, sat up from the bed, and embraced Wen Xin from behind.
“You’ve worked hard these past few days!”
Wen Xin turned in Mu Chengxi’s arms, draped her arms over his shoulders, and embraced him, “I’m indeed a bit tired, but I’m relieved that you’re okay.”
Wen Xin quietly hugged Mu Chengxi, nuzzled against his shoulder for a while, and then let go of him. She went around to the other side, took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, cuddled up to Mu Chengxi, and snuggled into his arms.
“Get a good night’s sleep tonight, and it’ll be a new day tomorrow. Goodnight…”
“Goodnight.”
Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin and contentedly closed his eyes. Holding Wen Xin, he felt as if he was embracing the whole world.
The next morning, as soon as Wen Xin got up from the bed, she searched for her randomly tossed phone and, indeed, there were many unread messages on it, including one from Sun Ning.
“I didn’t want to disturb your rest because it was too late, so I sent a text message instead. The analysis of Mu Chengxi’s blood sample is out, and there’s no trace of the virus left in his body. This means my injection was a complete success, and you can rest easy now!”
“There’s one more thing, below is the list of equipment I need. Could you please provide it, little princess? And about the project fund we discussed yesterday, could you invest in it as well? I’ll contact you for other things when I need them!”
Wen Xin scrolled down the message and saw a list with various equipment, and at the end of it, a string of bank account numbers.
“I’m here, how’s everything going? Something came up at the company yesterday, and by the time I finished, it was too late, so I didn’t come over…”
Mu Chengxu pushed the door open in a hurry, muttering to himself as he entered.
The two people sitting on the bed looked at Mu Chengxu barging in and exchanged glances, both thinking at the same time, didn’t they lock the door when they went to sleep?
Fortunately, they were just sleeping and hadn’t done anything special; otherwise, it would have been embarrassing with someone walking in.
Mu Chengxu saw the two people sitting on the bed looking like they had just woken up. She lifted her wrist, glanced at her watch, and realized she might have come a bit early.
“Sorry, I was in such a hurry I forgot to check the time. I’ve been busy all night, worried you two hadn’t eaten, so I hurried over. Wen Xin, go wash up and get ready for breakfast.”
Under Mu Chengxu’s urging, Wen Xin got out of bed and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Seeing Wen Xin enter the bathroom, Mu Chengxu secretly pulled over a chair, sat down opposite Mu Chengxi, and started speaking in a hushed tone.
“Did you have something to do with the Jiang family’s situation? It’s all over the internet now, and our second uncle has been taken away by the prosecutors. It’s said to be related to Jiang Desheng’s issues. This time, the Jiang family is in big trouble…”
Mu Chengxu hadn’t come back yesterday because of this incident. Although she didn’t get involved in the Mu Family Company’s affairs, her own company was somewhat affected. She had been dealing with this all of yesterday.
“Second uncle got involved too? What about our eldest uncle?” Mu Chengxi was somewhat surprised by the news; he hadn’t expected his second uncle to be involved with Jiang Desheng.
“Eldest uncle? He didn’t have any issues. I heard it was the second uncle who secretly collaborated with Jiang Desheng behind eldest uncle’s back. Initially, eldest uncle scolded him for being ungrateful, but later, he felt lucky that he hadn’t been involved or he would be in trouble too.”
As Mu Chengxu talked about this event, she couldn’t help but laugh; she couldn’t believe these two frogs on the same string each had their own schemes—it was ridiculous.
“What’s the current situation with the Jiang family? Has Old Master Jiang not stepped in to deal with the matter?”
Because Mu Chengxi had been sick with a fever yesterday, he was completely out of the loop on external affairs and was very curious about how Old Master Jiang would handle this situation.
“No, I’ve only heard that Old Master Jiang asked Jiang Linyan to bring Ou Jinzhi back to the Jiang family. You know that Ou Jinzhi has a strange personality and doesn’t really fit in well with the people of Beijing…”
“Whether he fits in or not isn’t important. With Old Mr. Ou there, Ou Jinzhi won’t do anything to the Mu family. Besides, this wasn’t my doing. Who knows who the Jiang family offended and someone wanted to take them down directly.”
Mu Chengxu couldn’t believe her eyes when she heard it wasn’t him who orchestrated the event, “It wasn’t you? Then why does everyone in Beijing think it was you? Someone released information linking the incident to you…”
“Let them think what they want. There’s always someone trying to drag me down. I’ve come back with injuries, how could I have had the time to deal with their issues? You don’t need to worry about this either. Whatever outsiders want to believe, let them. After this, the Mu family’s position has just become more solid.”
