Chapter 770: 769: Only Miss Wen Can Suppress Master Xi

When Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin appeared in the private room, the lively atmosphere instantly quieted down, and everyone stood up to greet Mu Chengxi.

“Master Xi… Miss Wen.”

Mu Chengxi looked at them and faintly acknowledged them before sitting down on the sofa inside the room while holding Wen Xin’s hand.

Sitting on the sofa, Mu Chengxi had a cold expression on his face. No one around him dared to speak until Ling Yichen walked in from outside.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Why is everyone standing around? Haven’t you already ordered the dishes? You can ask the waiter to serve them now.”

Gu Yanzhe snapped out of it, nodded, and then pulled Ling Yichen out of the room.

“What’s going on with Master Xi? I haven’t heard of any trouble, this expression…”

Gu Yanzhe had always been responsible for managing all matters in Beijing, but he had also heard about Mu Chengxi’s affairs in F state, everything was running smoothly, so there shouldn’t have been any trouble to affect Mu Chengxi’s mood, right?

Seeing Gu Yanzhe’s tense expression, Ling Yichen smiled helplessly, feeling that a large part of the reason for Mu Chengxi’s bad mood was because of him.

“Miss Wen invited Yuan Junye over, and I unintentionally let slip about Eldest Miss and Yuan Junye’s affair, Master Xi found out and blew up immediately.”

After Ling Yichen explained, Gu Yanzhe’s eyes widened in shock, completely unexpected that Ling Yichen would daringly reveal the affair of the Eldest Miss like that.

“You… really have guts. Master Xi has the best relationship with the Eldest Miss, and you’re not unaware of Yuan Junye’s identity. It’s impossible for Master Xi to accept the Eldest Miss marrying Yuan Junye…”

“This matter is probably going to be troublesome!”

After Gu Yanzhe finished speaking, he looked at Ling Yichen, feeling that Ling Yichen not only angered Mu Chengxi but also likely offended the Eldest Miss.

“I wouldn’t be so sure. Although Yuan Junye is the illegitimate son of the Yuan Family, don’t forget whose man Yuan Junye is. With Miss Wen here, even if Master Xi is unwilling to accept him, he naturally won’t be too harsh, after all, you don’t just look at the face of the monk but the face of the Buddha as well.”

“Yuan Junye will be arriving shortly, how about we make a bet to see if Master Xi will make it hard for Yuan Junye to save face?”

Ling Yichen had already witnessed how Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi got along, and was very clear that Mu Chengxi had no temper in front of Wen Xin, so he felt that this bet was a sure win for him.

Gu Yanzhe watched Ling Yichen with an air of certain victory, curling his lips into a slight smile. He thought that Ling Yichen still didn’t understand Mu Chengxi well enough—on the matter of the Eldest Miss, Mu Chengxi had his bottom line, which even Wen Xin couldn’t change.

“Then let’s bet, on that new Aston Martin you just got, how about it?”

Gu Yanzhe looked at Ling Yichen, showing a confident expression.

“Fine, if you lose, then you can reimburse me for my Aston Martin.”

Gu Yanzhe’s confident demeanor drew a faint smile from Ling Yichen. It was already this late and yet one couldn’t tell the big picture, Gu Yanzhe sure was a fool.

Having said that, Ling Yichen turned and gestured to the waiter standing nearby, who quickly ran over.

Waiter: “Mister Ling, what can I help you with?”

Ling Yichen: “Our guests have almost all arrived, we can proceed with serving the food.”

Waiter: “Certainly, we will arrange that right away.”

After giving instructions to the waiter, the waiter quickly left, not daring to delay for even a minute.

Watching the waiter’s retreating figure, Ling Yichen stretched out his hand and placed it on Gu Yanzhe’s shoulder, “But speaking of which, how did Yuan Junye manage to win over Miss Wen? After all, Miss Wen is known as the unreachable flower in Beijing.”

“We have to admit, Yuan Junye really has his ways!”

“That’s for sure, without any schemes he wouldn’t have captured Miss Wen’s heart. However, Master Xi has passed a difficult hurdle now…”

Gu Yanzhe looked thoughtfully towards the direction of the elevator entrance,…

Seeing the expression on Gu Yanzhe’s face, Ling Yichen followed Gu Yanzhe’s gaze and saw two people walking towards them from the other end of the corridor.

The two were holding hands tightly, the woman clinging to the man’s arm, intimately leaning against him.

Her demure appearance made it impossible to tell that this was the same woman who commanded respect in the business world, Mu Chengxu.

“I really can’t believe it!”

Gu Yanzhe and Ling Yichen exchanged a glance, finding it hard to believe the scene before them. Was this… really the Miss Wen they knew?

“Why are you all standing here? Are you waiting for me?” Mu Chengxu walked up to Ling Yichen and Gu Yanzhe with Yuan Junye’s arm in hers, her face adorned with a sweet, blissful smile.

“Miss Wen… Mr. Yuan.”

Ling Yichen took his arm off Gu Yanzhe’s shoulder, steadied himself, and greeted Mu Chengxu very politely.

Having grown up in the shadow of Mu Chengxu, they always stood up straight and greeted her conscientiously whenever they met her.

“Alright, let’s go in. Have Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi arrived yet? Or did Wen Xin call Junye to come over…”

Mu Chengxu was oblivious to what was about to happen, still caught up in the excitement of Wen Xin’s and Mu Chengxi’s return to China, without any awareness of the potential danger to herself.

Ling Yichen glanced at Yuan Junye, who was by Mu Chengxu’s side now, and with a faint smile, he pushed open the door to the private room, “Yes, Master Xi and Miss Wen are back. Please go in, Miss Wen.”

“Come in too, why stand at the door?”

Mu Chengxu, with Yuan Junye in tow, entered the private room and immediately sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat off. The normally bustling room was eerily silent.

“What are you all doing?”

Mu Chengxu awkwardly released Yuan Junye’s hand, her eyes falling on Mu Chengxi’s grim expression, a look of baffled confusion spreading across her face.

“Sister, come sit here.”

Wen Xin, who had been whispering to Nan Xu, heard Mu Chengxu’s voice and immediately stood up, beckoning her to sit by her side.

Mu Chengxu glanced at the man with a troubled face sitting next to Wen Xin, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly. She didn’t know what had happened to Mu Chengxi, why he looked so dark and silent.

Thanks to Wen Xin’s invitation, the atmosphere wasn’t as awkward as before. Mu Chengxu sat down beside Wen Xin, while Ling Yichen walked over to Yuan Junye and pulled him to sit at a chair by the dining table.

Yuan Junye withdrew his gaze from Mu Chengxi and turned to look at Yuan Junye with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

“No need to ask, I can guess that Mu Chengxi’s stern face must be related to me, right?”
