“Qiuqiu, Mommy has no choice!” Su Li’s tone was gentle and helpless. It was as if everything she did was for the sake of the Geng family and to protect their reputation.

“Mom, don’t worry. There won’t be a chance for this matter to be exposed!” Geng Qiu wouldn’t even give Wen Xin a chance to turn things around, so how could he give her another chance to speak of this matter?

Also, she thinks that Wenxin doesn’t want to bring up this matter either. If she wanted to talk about it, this issue would have come out a long time ago. “Mom, don’t worry. If we treat sister better, she will definitely be grateful to

As she spoke, the corners of Geng Qiu’s mouth curled into a smug smile. She wanted to see how Wen Xin would leave Ice City High School in such a sorry state.

She wanted to destroy her pride and let her be despised forever.

Seeing how kind Geng Qiu was, Su Li did not have the heart to destroy her beautiful image in Geng Qiu’s heart. She did not want Geng Qiu and the Geng family to know of Tan Xingyue’s existence.

When she brought Wen Xin back to the Geng family, the Geng family thought that Wen Xin was the child she had left behind in the Ancient Market Town. Although Wen Xin had a bad personality, she was still much better than a disabled person sitting in a wheelchair.

“Alright, since you want her to stay in Ice City No.l Middle School, I’ll listen to you. Have a good rest. “Su Li gently hugged Geng Qiu. She felt that Geng Qiu was so understanding that it made her heart ache.

Su Li came out of Geng Qiu’s room and saw that Geng Shikui had just returned from work. Su Li quickly walked downstairs and took the briefcase from Geng Shikui’s hands. “Why are you back so late today?”

“Continent M sent a message in the evening saying that the supply of rare earths has been suddenly interrupted. I don’t know the reason, so I stayed behind to investigate, but there was no result.”

Geng Shikui tugged at the tie around his neck tiredly and unbuttoned his collar. He hugged Su Li and walked towards the bedroom.

“Why did the supply suddenly stop? Did you ask anyone else? Those who are on good terms with us probably won’t hide it from you. After all, they know that you’re working with the capital and want to cling onto the Geng family’s thigh!”

At this point, the smile on Su Li’s face could not be suppressed. The Geng family used to have a high status in the business world, but she came from a mountain village and was a second wife, so many people looked down on her.

However, things were different now. After the Geng Corporation cooperated with the capital, those madams who had once looked down on her were all sucking up to her.

Every time she went out for a gathering, those people would praise her highly. She enjoyed this kind of life very much.

Speaking of this, Geng Shikui was even more annoyed. Not only was the Geng family cut off from the supply of rare earths, but even the companies that cooperated with the Geng family were cut off. He didn’t know if there was a problem with the rare earths mine in Continent M.

In the past, rare earths were readily available as long as you had money. He wasn’t worried at all about a shortage of rare earths, so he thought the prices were too high and didn’t keep any inventory.

Now, after the supply of rare earths was cut off, the project in his hands could only last for a week to ten days at most. He didn’t know what to do.

“Don’t mention this anymore. I’ll go take a shower first. You should sleep early!”

At the thought of this, Geng Shikui’s head was about to explode. If there were no rare earths, the project in his hands would fall short, and the losses would

Wen Xin washed away the smell of alcohol on her body and sat on the sofa wearing Mu Chengxi’s shirt. She looked at the tablet in her hand and was looking for a prescription. She did not have much medicine left and needed to refine a new batch of medicine.

When Mu Chengxi came out of the kitchen, he saw Wen Xin sitting casually on the sofa. She was wearing his white shirt, and her slender and fair legs were exposed in front of him. How much did she trust his willpower?

In the end, Mu Chengxi’s gaze fell on Wen Xin’s ankle. She did not have this red string when he saw her yesterday. Who gave this to her?

He remembered the first time he saw Wen Xin, she was wearing a red string around her ankle, making her ankle look as fair as jade.

Wen Xin saw Mu Chengxi standing not far away and staring at her. She sat up unnaturally and adjusted her shirt.

“Well, you don’t have suitable clothes at home, so I wore your shirt.. ‘

Wen Xin’s temple twitched slightly when she sensed the heat in Mu Chengxi’s eyes. She frowned slightly. “The… The clothes I threw in the washing machine should have been dried by now. I’ll go first…”

As she spoke, Wen Xin stood up from the sofa and wanted to go to the bathroom to change into her clothes. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Wen Xin’s actions made Mu Chengxi sigh unconsciously. He reached out his large hand and held her slender and fair arm. “No need, I can still… Let’s eat first.

Knowing that Wen Xin had not eaten lunch or dinner and had drunk so much alcohol, Mu Chengxi asked Mu Dong to send some ingredients over and made some congee with century egg and lean meat in the kitchen.

Mu Chengxi pulled Wen Xin into the dining room. Mu Chengxi sat down beside Wen Xin and his eyes swept over the pair of long, fair legs under the table. Wen Xin noticed the look in Mu Chengxi’s eyes. She calmly held the spoon in her hand and ate a mouthful of congee with century egg and lean meat. She narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. It was delicious.

“I didn’t expect Young Marshal Mu to know how to make porridge. It tastes good.”

Wen Xin was a very picky person. She usually ate just to fill her stomach. In terms of delicious food, she only felt that the food made by her grandmother and Tan Xingyue was more delicious.

She did not expect Mu Chengxi’s porridge to suit her taste.

Mu Chengxi was a little distracted at the moment. He did not pay attention to what Wen Xin was saying and only responded casually.

Sensing that something was wrong with Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin lifted her bright black eyes and looked at him. A wicked smile appeared on her lips. She lifted her leg and placed it on Mu Chengxi’s leg.

Wen Xin’s sudden action caused Mu Chengxi’s entire body to tense. He raised his head to look at Wen Xin, who had her head lowered and was eating her porridge as if nothing had happened. It was as if the leg on his leg was not hers.

After looking at Wen Xin for a while, Mu Chengxi silently chanted the Heart

Calming Mantra in his heart. He had never thought that the Heart Calming Mantra he had accidentally read in a book would be used on him. This little girl was really sent by the heavens to torture him.

After calming himself down, Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s ankle and removed her leg from his. He stood up and spoke to Wen Xin through gritted teeth. “Little girl, when you grow up, I want to see if you will still be so arrogant!”

Mu Chengxi walked towards the bedroom after he finished speaking. Behind him, there was a mischievous laughter that sounded like silver bells. When Mu Chengxi came out of the shower, Wen Xin was already full and had cleaned up the kitchen.

At this moment, she was still lying on the sofa, but this time, she was not as bold as before. She was covered with a thin blanket.

“Are you really going back to Beijing tomorrow? Help me bring these prescriptions to Zhuge Jingming.” Wen Xin pointed at the stack of papers on the coffee table..
