Chapter 946 - 944: Advising the Old Fox to Guard the Wen Family's Umbrella Well

Due to the distance, Celt could not catch Wen Xin. If he could, he would definitely grab Wen Xin and vigorously ruffle her hair—a target he had waited for too long. Finally, the wait was over, and he couldn’t help but feel excited and overwhelmed with emotions.

Watching Celt’s excited demeanor, Wen Xin slightly squinted her beautiful eyes. She immediately hung up the video call, walked into her dressing room, changed clothes, and left the Wen family.

It was already three in the morning, and it was pitch-dark outside. Wen Xin walked into the garage, picked up the keys hanging on the wall, and drove off in the car Xiao Mi had brought back.

Independent State…

The person who went to see Xiao Mi returned to the Independent State and reported back to Old Fox Wen, relaying Xiao Mi’s words and attitude in full. Upon hearing it, Old Fox Wen felt a surge of anger rising to his chest.

“This ungrateful girl is just a wolf that can’t be raised at home. All those I arranged to find her, she spared none, causing me heavy losses. And now, even when you went to find her, she still refuses to come back.”

Old Fox Wen angrily threw the glass in his hand to the floor. Having one Wen Xin who was rebellious was enough, and now there was another Xiao Mi. The personalities of these two sisters were exactly the same, carved out of the same mold as their father.

Watching Old Fox Wen’s angry look, the man unconsciously took a step back. It wasn’t the first time he had seen Old Fox Wen this angry, but every time he was, someone would suffer the consequences.

Just then, Uncle Quan, the butler of the Wen family in Independent State, rushed in from outside and approached Old Fox Wen with a troubled look on his face.

“Um… Sir, Mr. Bai is here. I told him you were resting, but he didn’t believe it and insisted on seeing you. What should we do?”

Uncle Quan looked at Wen Xin, troubled. The relationship between the Wen and Bai families had been intensifying, and it had dropped to a freezing point last time because of Wen Xin. So… the butler truly did not know how to handle this situation.

Old Fox Wen had just been filled with rage because of the Xiao Mi incident, and now suddenly hearing that Mr. Bai had come over, he felt his blood pressure skyrocket.

He knew the temperament of Old Master Bai. He understood that if Mr. Bai had not had something important, he would definitely not have come over.

After all, the two had been quarreling for many years, and both were quite familiar with each other. He was well aware of what kind of personality Mr. Bai had.

Uncle Quan looked at Old Fox Wen’s expression, feeling a bit of a headache. He just stood beside quietly, waiting for Old Fox Wen to speak.

“Let him in. I do want to hear what he has to say. I hear that the Bai family and the Medical Organization in M State are cooperating quite well…”

Old Fox Wen’s words trailed off, his previous irritation seeming to suddenly vanish in an instant, as if everything had been let go.

“Sir, do you mean to invite Mr. Bai in?” Uncertain of Old Fox Wen’s intentions, Uncle Quan looked at his expression and felt unsure of what to do.

“Yes, invite him in. Show some respect, after all, we are still relatives. Plus, he is the grandfather of Wen Xin and Xiao Mi. If the children come back one day and find out I made things difficult for their grandfather, it would be quite a troublesome matter.”

When Mr. Bai walked into the Wen family living room, the Old Fox was already sitting leisurely on the couch, his previous agitated demeanor completely gone, making it seem as though he had just awakened from a dream.

After Uncle Quan ushered Mr. Bai and his assistant inside, he hurried into the dining room to prepare tea for Mr. Bai.

When Mr. Bai sat down across from the Old Fox, the Old Fox raised an eyebrow at him.

“I heard that Bai has successfully squeezed into the Elders Council. I didn’t expect you, at your age, to only now engage in such matters. You really don’t enjoy tranquility, do you? Some things should be left to the younger folk. People of your age doing too much can only make others more antagonistic!”

The Old Fox, looking at the grim-faced Old Master Bai, sneered mockingly, feeling that everything Old Master Bai did was futile. In the Independent State, he would eventually make everyone mature, and the Independent State would have to follow his commands…

“I’m not here to discuss those unproductive things you mentioned. I want to know about the personnel adjustments in the Elders Guild. Have you talked to Wen Xin about it? I don’t want Wen Xin to end up knowing nothing.”

Mr. Bai had only learned about these matters after joining the Elders Council himself, and he had come to the Wen residence at the first opportunity to clarify this.

As everyone knows, in the Independent State, matters concerning the Elders are very important. Now that it involves changes in the Elders Guild’s personnel, Mr. Bai felt that this was of utmost importance.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Apparently not guessing that Mr. Bai had come for this matter, the Old Fox’s eyes involuntarily brightened and he gave a faint smile.

“You old thing, you overestimate my position in Wen Xin’s heart. Even if I wanted to take the initiative to contact her, she wouldn’t care about me. In her mind, I have always been a villain.”

As the Old Fox spoke, he shifted his position on the couch, his expression resembling that of a pitiful person abandoned by his own child. If it weren’t for knowing the kind of person the Old Fox was, one might actually believe he was the real victim.

“Old Bai, having gone through the Xiao Mi incident last time, you should know that Wen Xin has long lost trust in me. Thus, this Wen family house is probably the last place she wants to be, so your thoughts are too naive!”

The Old Fox’s aggrieved tone caused Mr. Bai’s expression to become even more pained. He was thinking about how Wen Xin would protect herself without the protection of the Wen family, confronting several notoriously difficult Elders on her own.

“Wen Xin indeed harbors resentment against you in her heart, but as an Elder, can’t you take the initiative to ease the relationship between you two? You should know that only with Wen Xin in that position can you continue to have the peaceful life you now enjoy.”

“Don’t forget, how many people have you offended? If not for Wen Xin holding the highest position in Independent State, you might be the next target they go after,”

“Now, are you still unwilling to take action to protect Wen Xin? Otherwise… you will also suffer great losses.”

Listening to Mr. Bai’s words, the previously calm Old Fox could no longer remain composed and slammed his water glass forcefully onto the table.

“You need to understand, it’s not that I don’t care about Wen Xin, but rather that the child has been rebellious from a young age and has never held me in high regard. It’s her who doesn’t want to rely on the Wen family, who wouldn’t want to take advantage of Wen Xin’s identity to better themselves.”
