Chapter 875: 873 She Never Saw Through Them...

Xiao Ci looked at Wen Yunuo’s triumphant expression and unconsciously formed a heart shape in his mind. It seemed that perhaps only Wen Yunuo had the courage to pull off such audacious acts.

As expected, after Xiao Ci replied to Independent State as Wen Yunuo had instructed, Old Master Wen instantly flew into a rage, and his call went directly to Wen Yunuo’s cell phone.

Wen Yunuo sat in his office chair, a cigarette held between his fingers, quietly watching his constantly vibrating phone on the desk, with no intention whatsoever of answering.

Xiao Ci sat across from Wen Yunuo, observing his expression. For a moment, he even felt an impulse to help Wen Yunuo and answer the Old Fox’s call.

Wen Yunuo watched Xiao Ci, who was pacing around cluelessly, and smiled faintly.

“What’s wrong? Can’t handle it already? You should know, the Old Fox’s best trick is manipulating people’s hearts. As long as we hold out, he will be the one panicking, so don’t be nervous.”

By then, Wen Yunuo had put behind his fear of the Old Fox. He suddenly realized that this was the most relaxed state to be in. He used to live too cautiously, always worried about making a mistake and getting kicked out of the Wen family.

Now, it appeared that it wasn’t he who couldn’t leave the Wen family, but rather that the business of the Wen family couldn’t do without him.

As time drew nearer, the engagement party for Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi was fast approaching. Every day, Mu Chengxu was busy with company matters, and occasionally she had to take care of some preparations for Wen Xin’s birthday and engagement party as instructed by Old Madam,

until late at night when she would come home and collapse directly onto the sofa, too tired to even move her fingers.

Yuan Junye heard noises from outside, walked out of the bedroom and crouched down next to Mu Chengxu, looking at her exhausted demeanor.

“If it really becomes too much, let me help you. You’re too tired, and it’s taking its toll on you.”

Yuan Junye lovingly pinched Mu Chengxu’s cheek. He had once missed out on many years with Mu Chengxu due to his insecurities, but fortunately, after all the twists and turns, she had come back to him again.

Smelling the faint scent of bath gel on Yuan Junye, Mu Chengxu raised her arms to wrap them around his neck, letting him hold her close in his embrace.

“There’s not much left to handle tomorrow, and the only thing left is Wen Xin’s dress issue. She said she would prepare her dress herself.”

At this, Mu Chengxu sighed deeply, relieved that the bulk of the tasks had been handled after many days. Otherwise, she would truly be exhausted to death.

Hearing Mu Chengxu mention the dress, Yuan Junye’s eyes sparkled briefly before gently picking her up from the sofa and carrying her straight to the bedroom.

Once back in the bedroom, Yuan Junye placed Mu Chengxu on the bed, his voice gentle as he spoke, “Don’t worry about the dress issue. Huoluo’s dresses are famous worldwide. It’s Wen Xin’s business and how could she possibly not prepare well for her own engagement party?”

Yuan Junye was initially trying to reassure Mu Chengxu not to worry about Wen Xin, but no sooner had he finished speaking than Mu Chengxu sat up from the bed.

“Is that true? At least I wasn’t expecting that, and isn’t it just a rumor?”

Mu Chengxu stared at Yuan Junye with wide eyes. She had already learned from Yuan Junye that the entrepreneur behind Tianye Technology Company was Wen Xin.

Now being told that Huoluo was also Wen Xin’s, this deeply affected Mu Chengxu, who had always considered herself a successful female entrepreneur.

“Yeah, and there’s much more you don’t know about. I’m not very clear myself, so I’ll go run a bath for you. Take a soak.”

Yuan Junye felt that he had said too much, although Mu Chengxu was not a stranger, there were many things about Wen Xin that he still couldn’t discuss too freely.

Seeing Yuan Junye’s evasive demeanor, Mu Chengxu initially had some curiosity about Wen Xin’s matters, but at this point, she completely lost interest.

She lay on the bed, quietly pondering. It seemed she had never truly understood Mu Chengxi.

She had forgotten when Mu Chengxi had first started to take her on the path of business, naively thinking that it was all arranged by their grandfather.

But later she discovered that the money Mu Chengxi invested in her had nothing to do with the Mu family, and the businesses he had her manage were all unconnected to the Mu family.

Even Mu Chengxi’s business circles were places the Mu family longed for but couldn’t reach.

Mu Chengxu had been curious too, and had wanted to ask Mu Chengxi where his patience came from…

However, as time passed, Mu Chengxu’s curiosity faded, because she knew, the places Mu Chengxi occupied, were beyond her reach.

From that day, she began to enjoy the benefits of success handed to her, doing whatever Mu Chengxi told her to do. She knew that as long as she listened to Mu Chengxi, he wouldn’t let her suffer.

At that moment, he also suddenly understood why Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin were attracted to each other. After all, only similar kinds of people could come together.

Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi were each handling their own affairs in the study when suddenly a message popped up on Wen Xin’s phone, and she casually clicked on it.

The content of the message was a photo, seeing which Wen Xin’s expression unconsciously darkened.

While processing his emails, Mu Chengxi sharply noticed the change in Wen Xin’s expression, gently tapped his desk with his finger, and looked at Wen Xin with some incomprehension, speaking in a mild tone.

“What did you see? Why has your whole aura changed?”

Upon hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, Wen Xin let out a cold laugh, casually tossed her phone towards Mu Chengxi. He caught it effortlessly, unlocked the screen, and wanted to know what Wen Xin had seen.

As Mu Chengxi saw the content on the phone, his eyes also unwittingly widened in surprise, but he quickly regained his usual composure.

“When did she come back?”

“I don’t quite remember, but I know she’s back. I thought she couldn’t stir up any trouble, but since she’s still alive, let her play her own games. I didn’t expect she’d get involved with the Jiang family,” Wen Xin said without having to guess who Mu Chengxi was asking about, answering his question quite casually, but her fingers did not stop moving faster on the keyboard.

“What are you planning to do? I’ll have someone take care of her directly, that would be easiest.”

Every time Mu Chengxi thought of what the Geng family had done to Wen Xin, he wished he could flay them alive.

He hadn’t known the details before, he could have let Wen Xin handle it herself, but now it was different. He ached for Wen Xin’s past, and since Wen Xin was soon to be his fiancée, he felt it was perfectly justifiable for him to intervene.
