Chapter 870: 868 Making Trouble at Old Master Jiang's Funeral

Mu Chengxi walked out of the study and saw Wen Xin sitting on the sofa, lost in thought. He approached her and sat down next to her, gently pulling her into his embrace.

“Are you alright? I know you’re feeling a mix of emotions. You can talk to me about anything, you don’t have to shoulder it all by yourself.”

Mu Chengxi buried his head in the nape of Wen Xin’s neck and gently kissed her throat.

Wen Xin turned and hugged Mu Chengxi, kissing his Adam’s apple…

“Little vixen…”

Without hesitation, Mu Chengxi carried Wen Xin toward the bedroom.

Xiao Mi sat in the car, looking at Mu Bei. She hesitated for a moment before slowly starting, “How long have you known my sister? What kind of background does she have besides Independent State?”

Surprised by Xiao Mi’s question, Mu Bei turned his head, pondering seriously. He seemed unclear about the power Wen Xin held, but what he was certain of was that the people from Independent State were not even in Wen Xin’s consideration.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After a few minutes of silence, Mu Bei’s car stopped at the traffic light. He turned to look at Xiao Mi with a serious expression.

“I’m not very clear about Miss Wen’s affairs either, but I can assure you, she looks down on Independent State.”

When the red light turned green, Mu Bei restarted the car and drove off carefully.

Xiao Mi had thought that Mu Bei didn’t want to answer her question, but realized he was being thoughtfully cautious. Instantly, she believed what he said, and it seemed that Wen Xin was indeed more formidable than she had imagined.

At Old Master Jiang’s funeral, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi appeared together. As the head of the Mu family, failing to show up at Old Master Jiang’s funeral would have inevitably drawn criticism.

Both dressed in black, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi’s attire was aesthetically solemn, except for Wen Xin’s down jacket casually draped over her shoulders due to an injury in her arm, which made her appear somewhat disrespectful.

“Mu Chengxi, it’s one thing for you to come alone, but bringing your girlfriend dressed like that shows a lack of respect for Old Master Jiang,” someone said.

Several people who had previously clashed with Mu Chengxi spoke up outside the hall, especially bold now knowing that Mu Chengxi had been ousted from Mu Group.

Mu Chengxi, holding Wen Xin’s hand, gave them a chilly glance with a hint of warning in his deep, dark eyes as if to say they were meddling in affairs that were none of their business.

Wen Xin gently squeezed Mu Chengxi’s hand and blinked at him with innocent eyes.

“I thought I heard a dog barking. I wonder how there could be a dog in a place like this?”

The group didn’t expect Wen Xin to speak up at that moment. Being called dogs in front of respectable people of the capital must have been embarrassing for them.

Seeing the inclination of one of the men to act rashly, a person by his side quickly grabbed his arm and whispered a warning.

“Although he’s not with Mu Group anymore, the Mu family is still in his hands. Don’t offend him; there’s nothing to gain from it!”

The whispered caution caused the man to withdraw his hostility instantly. He stood silently to the side, attracting the glances of many onlookers.

Finally, he simply couldn’t stay here any longer and turned around to leave.

Wen Xin glanced at the man’s departing figure and curved her lips into a cold smile, “Indeed, now that the dog isn’t barking here anymore, this place has become much cleaner.”

Wen Xin’s tone was indifferent, but her voice was not soft, making everyone present involuntarily frown. The last person to be so arrogant was probably Mu Chengxi, right?

After the interlude, the farewell ceremony began. When the Jiang family saw Mu Chengxi, their eyes widened involuntarily; they had never imagined that Mu Chengxi would actually show up here.

Just as Jiang Desheng was about to charge forward and confront Mu Chengxi, Jiang Desheng’s wife grabbed his arm.

“Now is not the time to confront them head-on. Our Old Master Jiang has passed away, and we’ve lost a powerful backer; we can’t afford to provoke Mu Chengxi at this moment.”

“Don’t forget what Linyan did, and Wen Xin’s injuries haven’t healed yet. Perhaps they are just looking for an opportunity to trouble us. If we take action, we would fall right into their trap. So calm down. We can sort out any issues after the Old Master’s funeral is over, right?”

Jiang Desheng’s wife was a very intelligent woman; she knew how to assess the situation.

In fact, after Wen Xin’s incident, she had been waiting for Mu Chengxi to come looking for trouble, but it never happened.

Seeing Mu Chengxi at Old Master Jiang’s funeral today didn’t surprise her too much. Instead, she sensed a malevolent presence.

Old Master Jiang’s funeral proceeded step by step, and Gu Yanzhe, standing behind Mu Chengxi, lightly tugged at Mu Chengxi’s sleeve, asking in a voice neither loud nor quiet.

“Master Xi, did you notice the change in the Jiang family’s eyes the moment they saw you? And how, for an instant, they seemed to wish they could charge forward and have a good round with you?”

“It’s just that… later, I don’t know who regained their senses and stopped Jiang Desheng. What a pity, otherwise we could have watched some excitement.”

Hearing the regret in Gu Yanzhe’s tone, the people standing around couldn’t help but lower their heads and chuckle. They felt that laughing at such a solemn occasion was somewhat inappropriate, but they really couldn’t help it.

Mu Chengxi didn’t turn around, just glanced indifferently at the Jiang family walking in front, his eyebrows flaring provocatively.

“Who would dare to cause trouble at Old Master Jiang’s funeral? The entire capital is watching, just wanting to see if Old Jiang’s funeral can end successfully…”

“It’s really a shame that no one from Independent State showed up!”

While speaking, Mu Chengxi’s eyes unconsciously drifted towards Wen Xin. In fact, Wen Yunuo had wanted to attend Old Master Jiang’s funeral today, which could also help him attract investors.

But Wen Xin moved faster than him, pinning both Wen Yunuo and Xiao Ci in the office with acupuncture early in the morning, not even granting them the chance to speak, let alone move.

Wen Xin’s actions left Wen Yunuo feeling helpless and desperate, going from furious to powerless, only able to watch time pass and being unable to do anything.

Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand, gently squeezing the tips of her fingers, and turned towards Wen Xin with a soft, indulgent chuckle.

Gu Yanzhe could clearly grasp the meaning behind Mu Chengxi’s words, and being very clever, she spoke up, purposely loud enough for the surrounding people to hear.
