Chapter 873: Chapter 871: Little Ancestor, You’re Finally Here, They Were Almost Doomed
“What do you know! You know nothing, so shut your mouth! I’m not afraid of the Mu family now. With Kunshan Group backing us up, even if it’s Mu Chengxi, I’m not worried at all, even if Old Madam Mu were standing here!”
Old Jiang was extremely arrogant at the moment. With Old Master Jiang around, he had suppressed his pride all his life, but now he could finally show his capabilities.
He believed that under his command, the Jiang family would definitely be stronger than it had been under Old Master Jiang.
Soon, the butler led Geng Qiu in from outside. Geng Qiu’s attire, arranged by Wei Shisheng, made her look somewhat like a proper lady.
Old Jiang’s eyes suddenly brightened as he watched Geng Qiu approach, such a beautiful girl was indeed a rare sight.
Madam Jiang, watching Old Jiang’s expression, roughly guessed what he was thinking; she just snorted coldly, stood up, and walked upstairs.
Old Jiang looked at Geng Qiu and stroked his chin, displaying an elder’s affectionate expression.
“How old are you, little girl?”
Geng Qiu hadn’t expected Old Jiang to ask her such a question. She looked up at him somewhat unexpectedly and answered softly, “20 years old…”
“20 years old… 20 is a wonderful age. What do you do? How do you know our Jiang family?”
Old Jiang gazed at Geng Qiu’s innocent and blameless eyes, feeling almost melted by her. It had been a long time since he tasted the flavor of a young girl, and he was almost ready to devour her right there.
However, Old Jiang knew he couldn’t do that yet. What was most important to him now was to get what he wanted from Geng Qiu. He wanted to take this opportunity to ruin Wen Xin and at the same time destroy Mu Chengxi.
Geng Qiu seemed to sense that Old Jiang’s gaze was not entirely pure; she involuntarily stepped back a bit, increasing the distance between them.
“Of course, someone thoughtful sent me here. She said the Jiang family needs some dirt on Wen Xin, and I also need the Jiang family’s help.”
As Geng Qiu spoke, she blinked her large eyes, looking like a wounded and naive little animal, innocent and helpless.
Upon seeing Geng Qiu’s pitiful expression, Old Jiang felt a twinge of pity. He reached out and took Geng Qiu’s small hand.
“What’s the matter? Who has wronged you? Tell me about it. If possible, I’d like to help you.”
As he spoke, Old Jiang gently caressed Geng Qiu’s hand, the soft touch almost dissolving his heart.
Geng Qiu looked at Old Jiang, who displayed a righteous demeanor, and her face showed a shy blush, sparking excitement in Old Jiang’s eyes.
“Come with me to my study. Let’s discuss the information you’ve brought, and we can talk in detail.”
Old Jiang didn’t give Geng Qiu any chance to refuse and led her upstairs by the hand.
The butler and everyone standing in the hall acted as if they saw nothing, completely ignoring what Old Jiang was doing.
Madam Jiang sat in her bedroom, listening to the noises outside. She took out a small pill bottle from the drawer, took out a pill from it, placed it in her mouth, and swallowed.
She had long since grown accustomed to the things Old Jiang did; understanding how she ended up marrying into the Jiang family had allowed her to make sense of everything that followed.
To her, it was all just karma.
After walking out of the restaurant, it was already past two in the afternoon. Mu Chengxi, having drunk quite a bit in high spirits, sat in the car, lazily leaning on Wen Xin’s shoulder.
Mu Bei, looking at the two people in the back seat of the car, asked in an easygoing tone, “Miss Wen, are we heading back to the old house?”
“Not yet, let’s head to Kunshan Group first.”
Hearing that Wen Xin wanted to go to Kunshan Group, Mu Chengxi lifted his head from her shoulder, his eyes hazy and slightly puzzled as he softly asked.
“What are you doing at Kunshan Group? Aren’t you coming home with me?”
“Of course, I need to remove the acupuncture needles from Wen Yunuo and Xiao Ci. It’s been a long time; if we don’t do something soon, they’ll be in danger!”
Wen Xin took a hangover pill from her backpack and placed it into Mu Chengxi’s mouth, gently pressing on his temples to help him sober up quickly.
True to her aid, Mu Chengxi soon became much clearer-headed, gently embracing Wen Xin and drawing her into his arms.
“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I’d have forgotten all about the matter of you pinning them down; I’ll go with you.”
As Mu Bei drove, listening to the conversation between Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi, he couldn’t help feeling a chill run through him, almost sensing the suffering of Wen Yunuo and Xiao Ci. That was… really pitiful, wasn’t it?
The car smoothly stopped outside the main gate of Kunshan Group. Wen Xin glanced at Mu Chengxi who had fallen asleep in the car, tenderly kissed his cheek, and then opened the door and quickly got out.
After Wen Xin had left the car, Mu Chengxi’s deep, dark eyes slowly opened. He hadn’t meant to shirk anything; he was just startled awake by the loss of Wen Xin’s warmth.
Because of the medication dissolving, Mu Chengxi’s mouth tasted bitter. He looked at Mu Bei and said, “Buy a cup of lemon tea, please. Wen Xin might need some more time to come back.”
As soon as Wen Xin reached the floor where Wen Yunuo was, the secretary hurriedly approached her, obviously quite agitated.
“My ancestor, you’ve finally come. If you had waited any longer, CEO Wen and Assistant Xiao might have been done for. They haven’t eaten, drunk, or even gone to the bathroom all morning; it’s been utterly miserable!”
The secretary, walking behind Wen Xin, spoke quickly while urging her to move faster, genuinely concerned that the two “statues” in the office wouldn’t last much longer.
Seeing the secretary’s anxious demeanor, Wen Xin simply smiled faintly, then pushed open the door to Wen Yunuo’s office and walked straight in.
Upon entering Wen Yunuo’s office, Wen Xin felt four gazes shooting towards her. If looks could kill, she would have been dead by now.
“Alright, I indeed arrived late because something came up on the way; but don’t worry, with me here, I can assure you that you won’t come to harm!”
With that, Wen Xin removed the acupuncture needles from Xiao Ci, then walked over to Wen Yunuo and did the same.
Wen Xin observed their stiff postures, the corners of her eyes slightly lifting, seemingly finding a certain amusement in the situation.
