Chapter 841: Chapter 840 They Are Not As Simple As We Thought
“One day, a few people from Ice City came. Claiming to be Wen Xin’s maternal aunts, they said they wanted to take her and her grandmother away together. At that time, I thought she was going to live a life of luxury. But I never imagined they were actually taking her to donate her liver to someone.”
Listening to Old Mr. Ou’s story, everyone present couldn’t help but inhale sharply. They simply couldn’t imagine a girl like Wen Xin having such a background.
If they knew which family it was, they would definitely seek justice for Wen Xin.
Old Mr. Ou, looking at everyone’s expressions, also wore a face full of regret. He regretted that he hadn’t learned about this earlier and that Wen Xin had suffered.
“The next time I saw Wen Xin, although her condition wasn’t very good, she didn’t seem to have any major problems. And I thought it was a personal matter, so I didn’t ask too many questions.”
“Later on, Mu Chengxi came to visit me at the sanatorium, and only then did I realize this young man’s true intentions were not in wine, visiting me only as a pretext to get close to Wen Xin.”
“Just like that, this brat gradually won over the little girl Wen Xin. Seeing them together, I was genuinely happy for them.”
“Sister-in-law, one day when Mu Chengxi gets married, you must let me be his witness. I am someone who has personally witnessed his love!”
In the end, Old Mr. Ou said jokingly, truly looking forward to witnessing the wedding of Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi.
“Of course, the first time I saw this girl, I liked her immediately. She must become our Mu family’s granddaughter-in-law. Don’t worry, as soon as Wen Xin turns twenty, I’ll immediately urge them to get married.”
“You all must take good care of yourselves. When the two of them get married, you all must come. You are all witnesses!”
When it came to Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi’s wedding, Old Madam Mu was extremely excited, even wishing Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi could just get married on the spot.
Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi, standing at the entrance of the corridor and looking with icy stares at Xiao Ci standing before them with many gifts, had no idea that the elderly people in the room were already planning their wedding.
“Little princess, our young master heard you were injured and immediately sent me to check on you. Seeing your condition now, it seems you are recovering quite well…”
Xiao Ci had thought about what kind of scene he would face on his way over, but he never expected to be standing here, facing two people with murderous intent in their eyes.
If it weren’t for the little dignity he had left, he would have wanted to kneel on the ground and speak to Wen Xin.
“Little princess, these gifts were personally selected by our young master. He really is busy with urgent matters and couldn’t visit you himself, otherwise he would have come in person. If there has been any disrespect, please forgive us.”
After Xiao Ci had finished speaking, before he even received a response from Wen Xin, he anxiously lifted his head to look at Wen Xin, eager for a reply, desperate to escape from there.
Seeing Xiao Ci’s anxious expression, Wen Xin took a long while before letting out a cold laugh.
“What medicine is Wen Yunuo trying to sell out of his gourd? Sending Jiang Linyan to have people kill me, and now that I’m not dead, he sends you to make amends. Does he think that by doing this, I won’t hold a grudge?”
Wen Xin’s words startled Xiao Ci, and his pupils involuntarily trembled. He had no idea Wen Xin would know the details so clearly.
“Little princess, our young master is your brother—how could he possibly do such a thing? And these are just your speculations. After all, we’re family—how could…”
“I didn’t come out to meet you just to hear you make excuses for him. I want you to relay a message to him: don’t provoke me again. I’m not someone he can afford to mess with. I’ll be claiming back everything he owes, and his staying in Beijing is only temporary,” Wen Xin stated, then turned away with an air of authority and left without looking back.
Watching Wen Xin enter the stairwell, Mu Chengxi did not follow Wen Xin to leave. Instead, he took a step forward, approaching Xiao Ci. He leaned in close to Xiao Ci’s ear and spoke in a low, husky voice.
“The company is already facing cash flow issues, isn’t it? This is just the beginning,”
Upon hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, Xiao Ci shockedly turned his head toward him, unable to understand how Mu Chengxi knew such a confidential matter.
“No need to be shocked. If I can tolerate you laying your nets in Beijing, I can find a way to shatter them. This is just the beginning…”
After speaking, Mu Chengxi flashed a wicked smile at Xiao Ci and forcefully patted his shoulder. Xiao Ci instantly felt as if his shoulder would break from the impact, and he frowned, keeping his head low, not daring to look at Mu Chengxi.
He was acutely aware that Mu Chengxi’s gesture was a warning. He didn’t dare to resist, fearing that in the next second, Mu Chengxi might just eliminate him without hesitation; he believed Mu Chengxi was capable of doing such a thing.
After returning, Xiao Ci relayed Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin’s words to Wen Yunuo without omitting a single detail.
When Wen Yunuo heard Xiao Ci’s report, his brows raised slightly, and he smiled faintly. “It looks like both of them are not to be trifled with. It appears that everything I have done was within their expectations.”
Before acting, Wen Yunuo had thought he wouldn’t get exposed.
Later, when he found out Mu Chengxi had been thoroughly investigating Jiang Linyan, he realized that what he had done was likely impossible to keep hidden.
Now, it seems pointless to seek reconciliation; it looks like we’re destined to be on opposing sides.
“Mu Chengxi actually knew about our financial issue? Did he say anything else?”
As Wen Yunuo listened to Xiao Ci’s account, he was more surprised than anything else. He knew Mu Chengxi had considerable influence in Beijing, but he hadn’t expected Mu Chengxi to also know about their internal issues.
He began to suspect if there was a traitor within his ranks. If that was the case, they would need a thorough investigation.
“No, Mu Chengxi only mentioned that, but he said that this is just the beginning and that he will take back everything one by one.”
As Xiao Ci spoke, he couldn’t help but unconsciously think of Mu Chengxi’s expression at that moment, causing a tightness in his chest. He felt that future events might become increasingly troublesome.
“Young Master, should we maybe…”
“Maybe what? Hide for a while? Do we have any way out? Since we’ve already made our move, there is no turning back. Mu Chengxi is no longer backed by the Mu family, and we don’t need to fear him. I actually want to see who the final victor will be…”
Xiao Ci watched Wen Yunuo brimming with confidence and couldn’t help worrying. He felt that the situation was not as optimistic as Wen Yunuo believed.
