Chapter 970 - 968 The First Taste of the Bitterness of Love

After saying that, Wen Xin headed straight for the house, leaving Mu Bei staring blankly in the direction Wen Xin had left, feeling as if something was not quite right.

Back in her room, Wen Xin angrily tossed her cellphone onto the bed, not having anticipated Mu Chengxi’s outburst at all, and she didn’t think she had done anything wrong either.

By the afternoon, Mu Chengxi still hadn’t returned to the Mu family’s old mansion. After Wen Xin packed her suitcase, the anger in her heart had also subsided a great deal. She stood up, walked over to the bed, and picked up the cellphone she had thrown there.

She thought that if Mu Chengxi answered her call, she would forgive him and apologize to Mu Chengxi, admitting to herself that using hypnosis on Mu Chengxi was indeed going too far.

As Wen Xin dialed Mu Chengxi’s number, a cold female voice resonated from Mu Chengxi’s phone, “I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off…”

Hearing the automated message, Wen Xin was slightly startled. This was the first time she encountered such a situation since she had known Mu Chengxi, who, even when flying, would always worry about Wen Xin not being able to reach him.

Wen Xin had initially wanted to call Gu Yanzhe to ask if he knew of Mu Chengxi’s whereabouts, but on second thought, if Mu Chengxi could be so indifferent, she didn’t need to care about it either.

Wen Xin casually placed her cellphone to the side, reopened her neatly packed suitcase, and threw out the part that belonged to Mu Chengxi. Since he had no intention of leaving with her, she didn’t need to bother with him.

She had long been accustomed to being alone, hadn’t she? She could handle those matters by herself, too.

After packing her suitcase, Wen Xin left her room and walked into the living room to sit down. Just then, the fully recovered butler hurried in from outside, carrying a wooden box with an excited expression as he approached Wen Xin.

“Young Madam, this is something sent over by the Zhuge Family. They said it’s something you need…”

The butler placed the medicine box on the coffee table and, seeing Wen Xin’s cool demeanor, unconsciously frowned, feeling that Wen Xin didn’t seem very happy.@@novelbin@@

Wen Xin looked up and thanked the butler, then opened the box on the table and picked out a few bottles and jars from within. She stood up, walked to the cabinet at the entrance, and placed them into the backpack hanging on the wall.

She then took some more from the box, put them in a bag, stood up carrying the bag, and looked at the butler indifferently.

“Butler, I have some business later and will need to be away for a while. Please ask the kitchen to prepare dinner earlier. After having dinner with the Old Madam, I must hurry,” Wen Xin said.

Hearing Wen Xin’s arrangement, the butler immediately responded and quickly left Mu Chengxi’s courtyard to inform the kitchen that dinner was to be prepared earlier today.

Watching the butler’s departing figure, Wen Xin pulled out her cellphone from her pocket and dialed Mu Chengxi’s number once more, telling herself to give Mu Chengxi another chance. If the call didn’t go through, she really would have to leave on her own.

As expected, after the call connected, the same low female voice came through… Wen Xin hung up the phone right away.

Convinced that Mu Chengxi truly didn’t care about her anymore, Wen Xin just smiled faintly. She took out the life-saving pill that Zhuge Jingming had prepared for Old Madam Mu from the medicine box, stood up, and walked outside.

Upon entering Old Madam Mu’s courtyard, Wen Xin was somewhat surprised to see Mu Jinyan there too.

Mu Jinyan was slightly startled upon seeing Wen Xin and appeared somewhat uneasy.

Looking at Mu Jinyan, Wen Xin called out in a faint voice, “Dad.”

Mu Jinyan noticed that Wen Xin’s complexion wasn’t very good and responded faintly, then looked at Wen Xin somewhat awkwardly, “Why have you come alone? Where’s Mu Chengxi?”

“He… he left after visiting grandma and hasn’t come back yet, he can’t accept grandfather and your decision just yet, it’s somewhat hurtful to him.”

Even though Mu Chengxi had lost his temper at Wen Xin, she still sided with Mu Chengxi in her heart, so she unintentionally blamed Mu Jinyan a bit.

Mu Jinyan had come back today also wanting to explain the past decision to Mu Chengxi, but now, being blamed by Wen Xin, she still felt somewhat embarrassed and guilty.

“I know that our decision back then was somewhat cruel to Mu Chengxi, but, we were really left with no choice…”

Mu Jinyan didn’t dare to look into Wen Xin’s blaming eyes, knowing that whatever she explained now was pointless, she just hoped that Mu Chengxi would give her a chance to explain.

Wen Xin wasn’t much affected by Mu Jinyan’s explanation, she just gave Mu Jinyan a faint look and carried the medicine over to Old Madam Mu.

“Grandma, I might have to leave Beijing for a while, these pills should be kept close, they can save a life in critical moments, you can call Zhuge Jingming anytime if there’s an issue!”

Wen Xin still couldn’t help but repeatedly admonish Old Madam Mu, who clutched at Wen Xin’s hand, unwilling to let Wen Xin go.

“You must promise Grandma to return safely; Grandma is still waiting to host a wedding for you and Chengxi, waiting for you to marry Mu Chengxi later on!”

Old Madam Mu’s bright eyes stared intently at Mu Chengxi, filled with expectation.

Looking at Old Madam Mu’s hopeful expression, Wen Xin hesitated to nod; she had once been firmly convinced that Mu Chengxi would always continue down the road with her…

But now she was unsure, he’d already left her behind.

Old Madam Mu, noticing Wen Xin’s hesitation and seeing that her expression wasn’t quite right, furrowed her brows slightly, took Wen Xin by the hand, and had her sit down beside her.

“Did you two have a fight? Don’t tell me it’s because of what I said to him, that he lost his temper with you, right?”

Wen Xin neither admitted nor quickly denied, only after a while did she slowly shake her head.

“No, Grandma, don’t worry, you know how Mu Chengxi treats me, he wouldn’t bear to lose his temper at me, I’m just a bit distracted, that’s all.”

Wen Xin, thinking of Mu Chengxi storming off in a huff, couldn’t help but feel a bit unhappy, thoroughly agitated.

However, not wanting to make Old Madam Mu worry, she still manage to have dinner with her in a calm and composed manner before leaving Old Madam Mu’s courtyard.

Watching Wen Xin’s retreating figure, Old Madam Mu knew that Wen Xin must have been wronged, she turned her head to look at Mu Jinyan and spoke in a very commanding tone.

“Mu Jinyan, no matter what method you use, go and make things clear to Mu Chengxi, don’t let Wen Xin suffer!”
