Chapter 963 - 961: Treat Me as the Holy Mother to Save All Beings

“A range Old Mr. Ou can’t touch?” Upon hearing this, Wen Xin suddenly became interested. She couldn’t understand where Ou Shen Zhi had gone that he was not under Old Mr. Ou’s protection and had gone out to develop on his own.

“It’s Independent State. Ou Shen Zhi took a project on an aircraft to Independent State for research, and…”

When Zhuge Jingming mentioned that Ou Shen Zhi was doing research in Independent State, Wen Xin’s expression suddenly changed, and everyone felt the air around Wen Xin change dramatically.

Zhuge Jingming looked at Wen Xin’s darkened face, and his speech abruptly halted…

“Little Uncle-Master…” Zhuge Jingming didn’t dare continue, tentatively calling out to Wen Xin, wanting to make sure if he could proceed.

Wen Xin, looking down at the water cup on the coffee table, spoke in a tone both low and chilling, “Are you saying that after Old Mr. Ou brought Ou Shen Zhi to see me last time, he didn’t give up but continued with the research on those design plans and even went to Independent State to study?”

Wen Xin’s tone was icy, making others unconsciously intimidated. Zhuge Jingming unconsciously swallowed hard, too frightened to speak. He knew Wen Xin was now angry…

“Ah, this young lady, I just can’t hold it back anymore, it was I who begged my little uncle to bring me here to see you. I am Ou Shen Zhi’s mother.”

“I accidentally overheard the conversation between the old master and my little uncle when I was passing by the old master’s room, and this is how I learned about Shen Zhi’s situation. You are Mu Chengxi’s fiancée, and since Chengxi is not in Beijing right now, we really can’t find him, so I had to beg my little uncle to bring me here to meet with you, hoping you could help us plead…”

Ou Shen Zhi’s mother, seeing how meek Zhuge Jingming was in front of Wen Xin, unable to clear his speech, couldn’t hold back anymore and directly stated her purpose bluntly.

She hoped Wen Xin could consider the faces of the Ou and Mu families, and find Mu Chengxi…

“Plead for what?” Wen Xin’s expression turned icy as she raised her head to look at Ou Shen Zhi’s mother, eager to know how Ou Shen Zhi’s mother could so naturally utter such words, assuming she would help.

“It’s to beg Chengxi to terminate the aircraft project of the Mu Group. Shen Zhi’s project failed, and their boss wants Shen Zhi’s life. The man said if the Mu Group stops the aircraft project, he will let Shen Zhi go…”

After listening to Ou Shen Zhi’s mother, Wen Xin sneered, suddenly rising from the sofa and walked over to the front of Ou Shen Zhi’s mother.

“Did Old Mr. Ou know you were going to say this?”

Wen Xin faced Ou Shen Zhi’s mother coolly, her gaze from a height sending a powerful oppressive force, causing Ou Shen Zhi’s mother to tense up, unconsciously stepping back, wanting to evade.

The only thought in her mind was that she might have come here mistakenly today, this girl was somewhat terrifying.

“I don’t understand how you can naturally say such things, but let me make this very clear to you… Never, don’t even think about it. I will not give up what belongs to me, for someone who stole my designs. What has his affair got to do with me!”

“Butler! See Madam Ou out!”

Wen Xin spoke with an irritated and chilly tone, giving no regard to Ou Shen Zhi’s mother.

The butler was frightened by Wen Xin’s tone; it was his first time seeing Wen Xin angry; he had never imagined that his own young miss could have such a temperament…

The butler quickly walked over from the side and approached Madam Ou, respectfully extending his hand and gesturing for her to follow…

“Madam Ou, please…”

Madam Ou had no idea why Wen Xin was angry. She had thought Wen Xin might refuse, but she did not anticipate such fury from her.

And what did “stealing blueprints” mean? Could Ou Shen Zhi’s research possibly be related to Wen Xin?

Madam Ou had more questions for Wen Xin, but seeing Wen Xin’s displeased expression, the words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat, and suddenly she couldn’t ask anything at all.

“Madam Ou, that expression…” the butler, noticing Madam Ou’s expression, suddenly became abrupt in his tone, urging Madam Ou to leave quickly.

Madam Ou could tell that the butler’s tone was harsh. She hesitated for a moment, picked up her handbag beside her, and stood up to leave the Wen family home.

After sending Madam Ou off, Wen Xin returned to sitting on the sofa. Her gaze was calm as she looked at Zhuge Jingming, betraying no hint of her thoughts.

“Little Uncle-Master… I… I think I made a mistake…” Zhuge Jingming frowned and looked at Wen Xin, his voice somewhat timid. He was well aware that he had indeed done something wrong.

“Little Uncle-Master, I truly couldn’t bear to refuse her, after all, it’s a human life… I…”

Just as Zhuge Jingming wanted to say more, he was interrupted by Wen Xin’s calmly spoken words.

“Do you know why Old Mr. Ou felt embarrassed to approach me and Mu Chengxi? In the past, given Old Mr. Ou’s affection for Ou Shen Zhi, he would have found a way to deal with it immediately…”

“But this time, Old Mr. Ou would rather fall ill from the stress than seek us out. Do you think it’s just because he didn’t want to trouble us?”

“You’re wrong; it’s because Old Mr. Ou felt ashamed. He doesn’t know how to broach the subject or face me!”

“Old Mr. Ou helped Ou Shen Zhi steal the blueprints from me and even brought him to me, hoping I would provide Ou Shen Zhi with complete blueprints. Zhuge Jingming, if you were in my position, what would you do?”

Wen Xin fixed her piercing gaze on Zhuge Jingming, seeking a clear answer from him, yet Zhuge Jingming just stood there, stunned, unable to say a word.

Seeing that neither Zhuge Jingming nor his wife were speaking, Wen Xin gave a light smirk and continued to speak coldly.@@novelbin@@

“Those are my life’s work, and they think they can just steal them? And then have the audacity to come and demand them, treating me like what?”

“The most ludicrous part is, he even took my research project to Independent State. What? Does he think research in our country is no longer sufficient for his needs? If he insists on courting death, why should I save him?”

“I am not holding him accountable for stealing my designs; instead, I am supposed to save him and sacrifice the interests of the Mu Group for his sake? Do you think I am a saint, capable of saving all beings?”

After Wen Xin’s words were spoken, both Zhuge Jingming and his wife’s faces turned red with a sense of shame. Wen Xin had done so much for their family, and yet they had repaid her with such disgust, which was utterly wrong.
