Chapter 563 - 563 No Need to Hide from Mu Chengxi Anymore

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Based on what Jiang’s mother said about Song Linman, Ou Jinzhi felt there was no need to retreat anymore. Their retreat would only make those people think they wanted to benefit from them.

Did Ou Jinzhi need that? With Mu Chengxi around, even Jiang’s father had to consider if he was qualified.

“Ou Jinzhi, don’t think you can threaten me with your grandfather. If I were afraid, I wouldn’t have reached my current position. Remember what you said today; I will settle the scores with you and Linyan together.”

Jiang’s mother angrily hung up the phone. Ou Jinzhi’s face was a bit grim, but when he turned to look at Song Linman, his expression had already returned to normal.

“From now on, unless it’s a call from grandfather, there’s no need to answer anyone else from the Jiang family, not even your father. I achieved what I have today without any help from the Jiang family, and I don’t want you to feel compelled to make compromises for me.”

As he spoke, Ou Jinzhi pulled Song Linman into his arms, realizing how he had neglected her situation in the Jiang family for so many years.

“Miss Jiang’s personality has been spoiled by you people. If she had been exposed to the harsh realities of the world sooner, there wouldn’t be so many troubles now.”

Wen Xin lazily propped her chin with her hand, looking at Mu Chengxi with a raised eyebrow, her gaze reflecting her slight displeasure.

Mu Chengxi knew what Wen Xin was thinking. He simply smiled coolly, saying nothing more, and reached out to hold Wen Xin’s hand, which was casually resting on the table, giving it a gentle squeeze.

“Are you hungry? Let me take you to the dining hall.” The dining hall Mu Chengxi referred to was not the one at the training base but their exclusive dining hall.

After a busy morning, Wen Xin was indeed a bit hungry. She nodded lazily, holding onto Mu Chengxi’s arm as she stood up.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She glanced at Ou Jinzhi, who was looking at her. “What time does training start this afternoon? Our class doesn’t have an instructor now. Arrange someone who isn’t too harsh.”

Ou Jinzhi smiled lightly at Wen Xin’s request, finding it amusing that she would make such a request. Which instructor wasn’t harsh?

“How about letting Master Xi train your class? He would definitely treat you all well,” Ou Jinzhi joked, thinking Mu Chengxi would actually be quite suitable.

“Him? Forget it. He has other things to do. Isn’t the training base big enough to have suitable instructors? If there really isn’t anyone, you can do it. I think you’re quite suitable.”

Wen Xin joked, knowing that a big base like this surely had suitable instructors, and Ou Jinzhi was probably just teasing.

“You really protect Chengxi. I’ve already arranged for an instructor, the one I had lined up before Jiang Linyan came. I didn’t expect to need him so soon.”

“What? If you haven’t had enough of her, you can invite her back,” Wen Xin teased nonchalantly.

To Wen Xin, Jiang Linyan posed no threat. At worst, she’d just play along with her for a bit.

While Wen Xin was talking, her phone suddenly rang. Mu Chengxi handed it to her without thinking, noticing it was a call from Chu Yunxuan.

Thinking of Chu Yunxuan, Mu Chengxi recalled Mu Nan. He thought it would be a good idea for Mu Nan to accompany Wen Huai to Ghost’s Domain. Mu Nan’s outgoing personality made him more suitable than the gentle Mu Dong.

In a place as wild as Ghost’s Domain, a strong personality was more fitting.

Wen Xin took her phone and walked out of the office, heading to a balcony along the corridor. She called Chu Yunxuan back.

“What’s up?” Wen Xin’s voice had a hint of joy, indicating her good mood.

“Yes, something’s come up. People from Continent M came to negotiate, but Qian Meng’s men intervened and stopped them. What do you plan to do? If this continues, Mu Chengxi will find out sooner or later.”

Chu Yunxuan called to seek Wen Xin’s advice. It was impossible to bypass Mu Chengxi for some matters. Despite their efforts to keep a low profile, trouble always found them.

“Then there’s no need to hide it anymore. I’ll talk to Mu Chengxi about it. Just tell those people what to do.”

Since revealing her identity as Slightly Tipsy, Wen Xin no longer planned to hide anything. It was only a matter of time before Mu Chengxi found out.

“With your word, we can act freely. Qian Meng has been too arrogant lately and needs to be put in his place.”

Chu Yunxuan had been troubled by Qian Meng’s men for days. She had been holding back to avoid causing trouble for Wen Xin. Now, with Wen Xin’s permission, she didn’t need to keep a low profile.

“Do as you see fit. Also, investigate the Qian family’s background. The last time I checked, it seemed their records were tampered with. There’s something they don’t want to be discovered.”

Wen Xin hadn’t paid much attention to Qian Meng before, but his recent arrogance seemed unusual and deliberate. She wanted to find out who was backing him.

“Alright, I have other matters to attend to. Miss Mu is here for a meeting, and Yuan Junye isn’t in the office. I need to go greet her. I’ll contact you if there’s any news.”

With that, Chu Yunxuan hung up, seeing Mu Chengxu approaching the door.

Chu Yunxuan quickly stood up and walked out of the office to greet Mu Chengxu.

“Miss Mu, Mr. Yuan is out on business. If you need anything, you can talk to me directly.”

Chu Yunxuan originally didn’t need to stay in Yuan Junye’s company, but in Beijing, it was necessary to have a legitimate identity. So, she stayed on as Yuan Junye’s secretary, from a research staff member to a laid-back secretary.

“Secretary Chu, right? Where did Mr. Yuan go? Did he say when he’d be back? I was passing by and thought of inviting him for a meal. Since he’s not here, would you mind joining me for a meal instead?”

Mu Chengxu spoke to Chu Yunxuan gently, with no deceit or probing, simply wanting to find someone to have a meal with.

“It would be my honor!”

Chu Yunxuan knew Mu Chengxu’s identity and how well she treated Wen Xin. So, she had a good impression of Mu Chengxu.

She was more than willing to have a meal with Mu Chengxu, feeling honored.

Mu Chengxu was delighted when Yunxuan accepted, and they instantly became good friends.
