Chapter 877: 875: You Just Need to Be the Little Princess, I'll Take Care of the Rest

Wen Xin looked at her phone and uncertainly sent a message, “Does foster father intend to come to Beijing?”

After sending the message, Wen Xin nervously clutched her phone, waiting for a reply from the other side.

The phone remained silent for a long time without any activity, but she still anxiously watched her phone, somewhat unable to set her mind at ease.

Mu Chengxi saw Wen Xin’s expression, stood up from across her, and sat next to Wen Xin, holding her somewhat cold little hand in his palm.

“What’s the matter? You seem so nervous; did something happen?”

This was the first time Mu Chengxi had seen Wen Xin so cautious and careful, probably because he was used to seeing her bold and domineering side. Seeing her like this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit more heartache.

Wen Xin sighed softly, turned to face Mu Chengxi, “There might be a big problem—the Old Alliance Leader from the Chou League is likely coming to Beijing too. You should know how influential the Chou League is, right?”

Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi, a flash of irritability crossing her beautiful eyes. She felt the power dynamics in Beijing were already complex enough and didn’t want another prominent figure stirring the waters even more.

“The Old Alliance Leader?” Hearing Wen Xin’s words, Mu Chengxi was also somewhat surprised. He knew that the Old Alliance Leader of the Chou League hadn’t been seen in public for a while. His sudden appearance in Beijing could indeed be troublesome.

“Is he coming to attend our engagement party?”

Mu Chengxi was aware of the relationship between Wen Xin and the Chou League, and naturally, he understood the connection between Wen Xin and the Old Alliance Leader, but his sudden decision to come to Beijing was something Mu Chengxi hadn’t anticipated.

Just then, Wen Xin’s phone vibrated. She withdrew her hand from Mu Chengxi’s grip, picked up the phone from the table, glanced at the message, and then handed the phone to Mu Chengxi with an annoyed tone.

“You deal with this.”

Wen Xin had initially agreed to collaborate with the Chou League solely to leverage their power to investigate the Shadow Alliance.

However, since learning from Xiao Mi’s mouth about the connection between the Chou League and the Shadow Alliance, she had developed a distrustful feeling towards the Chou League.

Moreover, given the current situation in Beijing, she really didn’t want another power attempting to disrupt the already unstable dynamics of the city.

Mu Chengxi picked up the phone that Wen Xin had tossed into his lap, looked at the content in the chat box briefly, and softly smiled, “If he wants to come, then let him come. On the day of his arrival, let’s go to the airport together to pick him up…”

Wen Xin, hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, turned her head towards him with a look of bewilderment, unable to comprehend why Mu Chengxi was speaking so nonchalantly.

“Beijing…”

“Beijing is already chaotic enough; are you worried about one more power? The more chaotic Beijing’s situation is, the better…”

Mu Chengxi, holding his phone, walked up to Wen Xin, wrapped his long arms around her waist, and gently pulled Wen Xin into his embrace.

He held Wen Xin and lowered his head, gently biting on the corner of Wen Xin’s lips, “I’ve said before, leave the matters to me, and I will handle them. You go try on the dress, and let me help you choose.”

Mu Chengxi didn’t want Wen Xin to be troubled by these matters. In his heart, Wen Xin should just be a little princess; he would take care of everything else.

On the other side, Geng Qiu had already prepared all the information about Wen Xin and placed it in front of Jiang Desheng, including clues about her mother’s, Su Li’s, disappearance.

“I’m sure my mother was taken away by her. If I can expose all these things at Wen Xin’s engagement party, Wen Xin will definitely be utterly disgraced!”

Since Geng Qiu had been taken back to the Shadow Alliance, she had been trying to find information about Su Li. She didn’t care whether she could find Su Li or not, she just wanted to confirm that this matter was related to Su Li, and she wanted to make Wen Xin carry the burden of harming her own mother.

Moreover, she had heard about Wen Xin’s identity upon her arrival in Beijing, though Wei Shisheng had constantly warned her not to provoke Wen Xin.

However, she was unwilling to believe that Wen Xin could be the heiress of two major research institutes in Beijing. She was just a daughter that her own mother in that small mountain village refused to acknowledge.

She didn’t believe Wen Xin could have a noble identity; for her, the more humble Wen Xin’s status, the happier she was.

After Jiang Desheng had read the material Geng Qiu placed on his desk, he smirked smugly at Geng Qiu, reached out, and pulled Geng Qiu to his side, making her face away from him and lean on the desk.

With one hand pressing on Geng Qiu’s back to keep her properly bend over, his other hand went…

“You wicked little girl, any single piece of this information could cost Wen Xin the chance to recover… then this time I will definitely… um… make your wish come true.”

Geng Qiu, leaning on the desk, lifted the corners of her mouth in a proud smirk…

In her eyes, such matters were trivial as long as they could lead to Wen Xin’s complete downfall; she was still very happy…

This time, her return was not as an innocent novice as before; she had witnessed too many gruesome scenes, and the seed of hatred in her heart had evolved into a venomous snake.

She wanted to make Wen Xin taste the torment of a fate worse than death, of losing everything.

After Geng Qiu left Jiang Desheng’s room, she encountered Madam Jiang walking by, carrying coffee. Geng Qiu bowed her head and respectfully greeted in a low voice, “Madam Jiang.”

Hearing Geng Qiu greeting her, Madam Jiang stopped, approached Geng Qiu, held the tea cup in one hand, and lifted Geng Qiu’s chin with the other, squinting at her.

“Is the young lady twenty years old yet? You look quite delicate. From now on, you will stay in the Jiang family. The room at the end of the corridor is yours. If you need anything, just speak with the housekeeper; don’t be shy, as long as you serve the master well, I won’t treat you unfairly!”

Madam Jiang could tell from the bruises on Geng Qiu’s body that Geng Qiu had not had an easy day and night…

Thinking of this, Madam Jiang’s mood instantly brightened, and her smile grew even brighter. She turned her head to the servant following her.

“Go, make arrangements, and tell the kitchen to add a few dishes for this young lady, to nourish her body!”

Having said that, Madam Jiang walked straight into the study with her coffee, her laughter echoing down the corridor, giving Geng Qiu a chilling sensation.

For some reason, Geng Qiu felt an eerie sensation here, even though this was the Jiang family at the apex of Beijing’s pyramid. Why…

Geng Qiu couldn’t figure it out, but she didn’t dwell on it. She just thought that this lady was unusually generous, inexplicably so.
