Chapter 651: 650: Can you control your arrogant wife? If not, then indulge her.
“Look… Wen Xin, this must be your trophy for bewitching others. You…”
“Slap…” Just then, a crisp slap echoed throughout the entire corridor.
Apart from Wen Xin, everyone in the corridor was shocked by the sudden appearance of a pink figure.
Jiang Linyan, who covered her swiftly swelling cheek, bent her head down and spat out two teeth, felt dizzy and saw double images of the pink figure in front of her…
“You…” She struggled to open her mouth for a while, spitting out words one by one…
“Me? What about me? With your mouth running unchecked like that, shouldn’t someone help you to hold it back a bit?”
Chu Yunxuan bent down, looked straight into Jiang Linyan’s now blurry eyes, hooked her lips into a defiant smile, “No matter who you are, in my eyes, anyone who offends Wen Xin is a dead person.”
“If you don’t want to die here, then get lost. If I ever hear you talk to her like that again, it won’t just be a slap that’ll solve things!”
Chu Yunxuan casually flicked Jiang Linyan away, and Jiang Linyan, clenching the teeth in her palm, collapsed straight onto the ground, fainting.
Looking at Jiang Linyan prostrate on the ground, Chu Yunxuan clicked her tongue in disappointment, not expecting that this young lady would be knocked out by a mere slap, what a pity.
“Xin girl, what should we do now? She’s Old Master Jiang’s favorite granddaughter; this is undoubtedly offending Old Master Jiang!” Mu Chengxu was not as defiant as Wen Xin. Having grown up in Beijing, she always knew which people could be offended and which couldn’t – the Jiang family…
“The Jiang family, what about them? Old Master Jiang, what about him? Sister, you don’t think I was joking, do you? Since I dared to move against Old Jiang, I’m not worried about what the Jiang family can do to me. After this, it should be the Jiang family avoiding me, not the other way around.”
Wen Xin raised an eyebrow and gave a light chuckle at Mu Chengxu, then gestured with a hook of her finger toward a corner. Quickly, two men dressed in black approached from both sides of the corridor, standing respectfully in front of Wen Xin.
“Take this woman back to the Jiang family and remind Old Master Jiang to keep his family in check.”
“Yes!” The men in black dragged Jiang Linyan away from the hospital with efficient movements.
After dealing with Jiang Linyan, Chu Yunxuan acted as if nothing had happened, casually slinging an arm around Wen Xin’s shoulders.
“My little friend gets so pretty when angry. I came because there’s something I need to discuss with you. Can we step aside to talk?”
As she finished, Chu Yunxuan pulled Wen Xin toward the other side of the corridor. As they left, Chu Yunxuan gave a nod to Mu Chengxu, who was still standing there stunned, as a way of greeting.
Watching Wen Xin being led away by Chu Yunxuan, Mu Chengxu hurried into the hospital room. As she entered, she saw Mu Chengxi leisurely eating breakfast, with an air of indifference.
“Hey, at a time like this, you can still eat? Aren’t you going to take care of the things your wife is doing? The Jiang family…”
“What about the Jiang family?” Mu Chengxu asked as he bit into a baozi and looked up at Mu Chengxi with a casual smile, a relaxed and comfortable expression on his face.
“What about them! Your wife is about to uproot the Jiang family, and you’re just letting her? Do you really want to see Wen Xin cause a scene until it’s too late to fix anything, is that it?”
Mu Chengxu walked up to Mu Chengxi, annoyed, and slammed his hand on the table in front of him. She was very dissatisfied with how Mu Chengxi indulged Wen Xin. Some fits of anger were okay to get past, but there was no need to let it get to an irreparable point.
“If she can’t handle it, don’t I still have her back? Even if she were to poke a hole in the sky, I could help her patch it up,” Mu Chengxi said with a relaxed smile as he looked at Mu Chengxu’s annoyed expression.
Wen Xin had always been impulsive and never considered the consequences of her actions but ever since being with him, she had become much more restrained.
But, when someone insisted on touching what was important to her, and she got angry, what could he do?
Of course, his only option was to spoil her. Not to mention that Wen Xin herself was dealing with the Jiang family—if he had to step in, he would not hesitate.
Why not? Trading the Jiang family for Wen Xin’s happiness seemed like a very worthwhile deal. After all, his woman wasn’t usually so wilful.
Watching Mu Chengxi’s demeanor reminiscent of a negligent ancient emperor, Mu Chengxu couldn’t contain his irritation and knocked into Mu Chengxi’s shoulder, “You really are… How come I’ve never seen you so negligent before? If Grandfather knew what you’re doing, would he regret leaving the Mu family in your hands?”
“The old man would never regret it. If I really upset Wen Xin over such a trivial matter, that’s when he would regret entrusting the Mu family to me!”
Looking at Mu Chengxu, Mu Chengxi slightly narrowed his dark and deep eyes. He believed that the most correct choice he had ever made was to keep Wen Xin by his side.
Wen Xin sat on the couch, watching Chu Yunxuan with the posture of a boss, and nodded slightly towards her.
“Just say what you need to, let me hear what kind of godlike problems have come up this time,” she said.
“What kind of problem could there be? I just want to ask for leave. There’s nothing much happening in Beijing recently, and you don’t need me here all the time. I want to go out and wander around a bit, I hope the boss will approve!”
Chu Yunxuan looked at Wen Xin, her eyes becoming very serious. Wen Xin watched her raise an eyebrow, almost believing her bluff.
But Wen Xin had no intention of calling her out. Without much hesitation, just after a brief pause, she agreed to her request.
“Okay, you can go. I’ll get some things for you to take with you in case you get injured, they might come in handy,” said Wen Xin, preparing to stand up.
After finishing her words, Wen Xin stood up and returned to Mu Chengxi’s sickroom to search her backpack, taking out all the meds that might be useful and placing them in a plastic bag.
Mu Chengxi, curious about Wen Xin’s actions, couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you packing up all the medicine?”
“For Chu Yunxuan—she’s going to leave Beijing for a while. It’s good to have some medicine on hand just in case,” Wen Xin said, hurriedly grabbing a plastic bag full of bottles and jars, and quickly left the sickroom to find Chu Yunxuan.
Receiving the plastic bag from Wen Xin, Chu Yunxuan felt a mix of emotions. She had the feeling that Wen Xin must know something but was afraid to ask.
In the end, she held back and simply stood up and hugged Wen Xin, “Remember to call me if anything comes up, and I’ll definitely come back right away!”
