Chapter 979 - 977: Master Xi's Jar of Jealousy Has Spilled Again

At this point, the Old Fox snorted coldly, he had been able to use Wen Xin’s reputation to do some things previously, but since that incident, everyone knew Wen Xin and the Wen family were at odds…

Seeing the Old Fox angered, the Second Elder’s temper also flared up. He abruptly stood up from the sofa, his stature looming over the Old Fox.

“Old fox, that’s not what you promised us at the beginning. You said…”

“I did make a promise to you, but you failed to handle your business. And I’ve taken risks to save your son’s life. If you get greedy, don’t blame me for being rude!”

One should never expect the Old Fox to consider personal feelings, let alone threaten him. It was utterly delusional.

“Rude? Very well, I was thinking, if you behaved, I could give you the chance to enjoy your twilight years in peace, but since you’re so unappreciative, don’t blame me now!”

With that, the Old Fox clapped his hands, and quickly, four burly men appeared in the living room.

“Please have the Second Elder rest in the other courtyard for a few days…”

The Second Elder had not anticipated the Old Fox would pull such a move. He glared at the Old Fox in disbelief, “Old Wen… you dare to do this… I… after all… I…”

Before the Second Elder could finish his words, a burly man covered his mouth and dragged him out of the living room, giving him no chance to continue speaking…

As the men in black escorted the Second Elder away, the Old Fox slammed his cup onto the table. The man had thought of threatening him, which was pure fantasy. There would be no more opportunities for him to speak.

If that was the case, there was truly no need to keep the Jason family around. He would begrudgingly accept them.

After undergoing a six-hour surgery, Wen Xin stepped out of the operating room and saw Madam Bai waiting outside. Wen Xin, propping herself up against exhaustion, approached Madam Bai.

“Auntie, uncle’s surgery went very smoothly, he should wake up by dawn. Please don’t bring up those matters to him anymore. Let him remain calm, it’s conducive to his recovery.”

Wen Xin’s tone was somewhat faint; she was simply too tired and just wanted to sit down and rest.

Madam Bai noticed Wen Xin’s fatigue and reached out to grasp her arm, helping her to a bench nearby, and had Wen Xin sit down.

“You’ve worked hard. On behalf of your uncle, I thank you. Your brother said that your medical skills are very impressive… thank you…”

Madam Bai’s eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at Wen Xin, her speech emotional and somewhat disorganized.

Wen Xin held Madam Bai’s arm, guiding her to sit beside herself, and gently rested her head on Madam Bai’s shoulder.

“Auntie, I’ll rest for a bit. Uncle will be transferred to a regular ward soon, and you can see him then.”

After saying this, Wen Xin leaned on Madam Bai and began breathing steadily, showing everyone knew that she had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Moore walked over, intending to lift the sleeping Wen Xin from the bench, but Bai Zhe stepped in to stop him.

“I’ll do it. I’ll carry her to my resting room for some rest.”

Bai Zhe was a doctor at this hospital, and he had his own private resting room. He gently lifted Wen Xin and carried her toward his resting room, with Moore following closely behind to protect Wen Xin.

No sooner had Mu Chengxi and Sun Ning walked into the hospital than they witnessed this scene. Mu Chengxi emanated a cold aura as he quickly approached Bai Zhe and blocked his path.

When Bai Zhe looked up to see the person suddenly barring his way, his eyebrows unconsciously furrowed. He found the man very unfamiliar; he did not recognize him and had no clue what he intended to do.

Moore was slightly startled by the sudden appearance of Mu Chengxi, surprised that Mu Chengxi would show up here.

Noticing Mu Chengxi’s unpleasant expression, Moore quickly ran up to him and stopped Mu Chengxi from any rash actions he might have been considering.

“This is Wen Xin’s cousin, the son of the little princess’s uncle. You are all family. Don’t get too worked up. The little princess didn’t get a chance to rest after getting off the plane, and then she had to perform surgery on her uncle. She was so exhausted that she fell asleep…”

Moore patiently explained to Mu Chengxi, genuinely concerned that Mu Chengxi’s jealousy might flare up, causing him to become emotionally agitated and, unable to control himself, lash out physically. That would complicate matters.

After all, it would be troublesome if a family ended up fighting amongst themselves like a flooded temple washing away its own dragon king!

Having heard Moore’s explanation, Mu Chengxi’s hostility dissipated significantly. He pushed Moore aside, who was standing in his way, and extended his hand toward Bai Zhe, “Hand her over to me, please. I’ll take her back to the hotel to rest.”

Bai Zhe only heard Moore explaining his own identity to Mu Chengxi, but he was still not aware of the man’s identity in front of him. He had no intention of handing Wen Xin over to Mu Chengxi.

“My sister, I can take care of her myself, you…”

Bai Zhe looked seriously at Mu Chengxi who was standing face-to-face with him, extending his hand. He was not pleased with this man’s brooding appearance.

“Young Master Bai, this is the little princess’s fiancé. They are already engaged in Beijing. You can completely entrust the little princess to him…”

Seeing Mu Chengxi’s face darken once again, Moore was genuinely afraid that Mu Chengxi might forcefully take the girl, so he immediately spoke up, explaining to Mu Chengxi and persuading Bai Zhe to hand Wen Xin over to Mu Chengxi.

Although Bai Zhe was reluctant to hand Wen Xin over to the sullen-faced Mu Chengxi, considering the relationship between Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi, he hesitated for a moment before sending Wen Xin out, into Mu Chengxi’s arms.

Mu Chengxi held the sleeping Wen Xin, gently cradling her in his arms, allowing her to find a comfortable position against himself.

Wen Xin nestled into Mu Chengxi’s chest, inhaling the familiar scent of him, and she unconsciously hummed.

“Hmm~ Why did you only come now…”

Hearing Wen Xin’s coquettish voice, Mu Chengxi’s heart, which had been somewhat uneasy, instantly felt relief. He was genuinely scared that Wen Xin might be angry with him for his behavior, ignoring him…

Bai Zhe watched as Mu Chengxi carefully held Wen Xin, his handsome eyes slightly squinting, and spoke in a gentle tone, “If you’re going to the hotel, let Moore take you. If not, you can go to my resting room. My resting room can…”

“Thank you, but there’s no need; we’ll just go to the hotel,” Mu Chengxi said, cutting Bai Zhe off mid-sentence and looking toward Moore, who instantly understood the meaning in Mu Chengxi’s gaze and hurriedly spoke up.

“Then let’s get going. I’ll take you to the hotel…”
