Chapter 984 - 980: Taking Mu Chengxi to See Grandfather

Mr. Bai sighed and then realized the emphasis of Wen Xin’s question; she wanted him to help save someone… even someone who had stolen from her.

“What are you thinking? That person clearly stole from you, and you still want to save him? Wen Xin, are you confused?”

Mr. Bai looked at Wen Xin, truly unable to comprehend her approach. Repaying evil with kindness seemed utterly unnecessary, didn’t it?

“Grandfather, I’m not trying to repay evil with kindness. I just want to repay the debt of gratitude I owe to someone who once helped me. Besides, as long as it upsets that Old Fox, I think that’s enough.”

As she spoke, Wen Xin smiled gently at Mr. Bai, holding his hand and gently patting it.

“Grandfather, although I don’t like to quibble too much with others, I’m not a person without limits. I am purposeful in my actions. Grandfather, you just need to use your resources to help me pinpoint Wei Shisheng’s location. The Bai Family needn’t get involved in the rest.”

Wen Xin didn’t want to entangle her grandfather in these affairs, nor did she think of involving the Bai Family. She always thought simply that she could resolve these issues with her own capabilities.

After hearing Wen Xin’s words, Mr. Bai sighed helplessly, patting Wen Xin’s hand with a softened tone.

“Alright, you know I never refuse your requests. Since you want me to do this, I’ll assist you thoroughly. I’ll probe the thoughts of the other side. You’re currently facing many troubles; if I can alleviate some of them for you, I will. Let me handle this matter.”

Mr. Bai looked at Wen Xin with affection, hoping that this young girl’s path ahead could be a bit easier and spared from trouble.

Wen Xin, seeing the worry in Mr. Bai’s eyes, didn’t want him to worry about her affairs. She quickly changed the topic, turning her attention to Mu Chengxi standing to the side.

“Grandfather, this is my boyfriend, the one I told you about. I’m engaged in Beijing, and he’s the one. He treats me especially well; he dotes on me in everything and is considerate towards me. His family is also very kind to me, especially his grandmother, who treasures me like the most precious member of their family.”

As Wen Xin spoke, she reached out her hand to Mu Chengxi, and he too naturally came to Wen Xin’s side, holding her hand and looking respectfully at Mr. Bai.

Wen Xin’s eyes were filled with deep affection as she spoke to Mu Chengxi, her bright eyes brimming with love. Mr. Bai could see that Wen Xin genuinely adored the young man standing beside her.

Mr. Bai saw Mu Chengxi’s graceful demeanor and, discerning him to be a well-mannered young man, nodded in approval.

As Mr. Bai nodded, Mu Chengxi politely addressed him as Grandfather.

Hearing Mu Chengxi’s address, Mr. Bai’s head bobbed in excitement, a rush of emotion overcoming him. He felt as if he were transported back to over twenty years ago, recalling the first time Wen Xin’s mother brought her father home.@@novelbin@@

Mr. Bai looked at Mu Chengxi with growing fondness, nodding again in satisfaction.

“You must take good care of my precious granddaughter. She… she… she has suffered too much, and you must treat her well!”

Mr. Bai originally wanted to offer a few more words of advice, but by that time, Wen Xin had already walked up behind Mr. Bai, gently patting his back and soothing his emotions, urging him not to get too agitated.

“All right, Grandfather, don’t get too worked up. Your health isn’t that great to begin with. What if you wait until I’ve settled all my affairs? I’ll take you back to Beijing for the New Year, and you can meet the Mu family’s grandmother…”

Wen Xin spoke in a gentle tone to calm Mr. Bai’s emotions. She leaned close to Mr. Bai’s ear, whispering in a lowered voice…

This scene, observed by Mu Chengxi from the side, evoked an indescribable feeling within him; he felt that such a tableau exuded a sense of peacefulness through the years.

He unconsciously made a silent vow that he must quickly take care of the matters Wen Xin needed to handle so that she could properly enjoy her future life.

After soothing Mr. Bai, Wen Xin looked up to see Mu Chengxi staring blankly at her. She unconsciously furrowed her brows, somewhat puzzled by Mu Chengxi’s thoughts.

“Stay here and have a chat with Grandfather. I’m going to see my cousin for a moment. After discussing my uncle’s condition, we’ll head out to the central building. Alfredo probably already knows I’ve come to the Independent State. Since he doesn’t want to meet me voluntarily, then we’ll just have to pay him a visit.”

Wen Xin had already inquired about Alfredo’s attitude during her drive over with Moore. Since he didn’t have a clear stance, she decided to push him a bit and not let him keep shirking away. If he was going to hold that position, he needed to make a decision.

As she said this, Wen Xin walked out of the hospital room. Mu Chengxi originally wanted to say something, but before he could, Mr. Bai grabbed his hand.

“She’s just going to find her brother. This hospital belongs to our family, so you really don’t need to worry about her safety. The safest person in this hospital is you. Sit down, let’s have a chat about Wen Xin’s situation. I want to hear if she has faced any mistreatment over the years!”

“You must also be familiar with Wen Huai, right? That young man has a resistance to the Independent State. Even though he comes back every year for training, he is always under the protection arranged by Wen Xin, so it’s very difficult for me to see him…”

At these words, a hint of regret tinged Mr. Bai’s voice, much like an old man longing for his children to come home, but always waiting in vain, creating a somewhat poignant sound to the listener.

“Grandfather, both Wen Huai and Wen Xin have been doing well over the years. I don’t know much about Wen Xin’s affairs, but I can say for sure that Wen Xin is an exceptional young lady. Her medical arts are impressive; it’s no exaggeration to say she can work miracles…”

As Mu Chengxi spoke of Wen Xin, his eyes shone with adoration, and Mr. Bai could tell that Mu Chengxi’s feelings for Wen Xin were not simply romantic love, but also admiration.

It was this sensation that made Mr. Bai like Mu Chengxi all the more. Mu Chengxi gave him the impression that he could protect Wen Xin for a lifetime, and entrusting Wen Xin to him gave Mr. Bai the most peace of mind.

When Wen Xin returned, she heard bursts of hearty laughter coming from the room, a scenario she couldn’t have imagined. She was curious as to how Mu Chengxi had managed to cheer up the old man so thoroughly.

Wen Xin pushed the door open and saw Mu Chengxi holding a phone, evidently sharing something with Mr. Bai. As she approached, she saw that Mu Chengxi was showing Mr. Bai her photos one by one.
