Chapter 390: Dirty Thoughts Affect Wen Xin ‘s Mood

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone in the Independent State couldn’t understand recent events. It seemed that everything had become somewhat tricky since Alfredo got injured.

Fortunately, the Independent State has a strong foundation; otherwise, such matters could indeed cause considerable trouble.

Alfredo pondered over the bald man’s words. The only thing he could think of was that Wen Xin must have said something for Mu Chengxi to be so determined to confront the Independent State at any cost.

“Go investigate what benefits Mu Chengxi promised the overlord of Continent

F to make him assist Mu Chengxi like this. As for the rare earth minerals from Continent F, let’s not worry about them for now. I know the young master of the Shadow Alliance still has around ten billion worth of rare earth minerals in his hands. Purchase them to fill the gap for now.”

“When they realize sanctions are futile, they’ll come to cooperate with us willingly!”

Alfredo spoke calmly. He wasn’t as anxious as the elders’ council. He believed that in business, one must learn to restrain. Simply compromising and indulging would only embolden those with ill intentions.

“Alright, I’ll go investigate Continent F now,” the bald man received Alfredo’s order and promptly left to arrange it.

Alfredo was alone in the empty office. He picked up the somewhat aged photo on the desk, furrowing his brows slightly. He didn’t know how to make Wen Xin return to her identity, but he wouldn’t give up.

While Wen Xin was at home preparing her application for independent enrollment, she suddenly received a video call from Tan Xingyue.

Glancing at the time, Wen Xin thought Tan Xingyue should be in class at this hour. Why would she suddenly call her via video?

Setting down her pen, Wen Xin picked up her phone and answered the video call.

The moment the call connected, the screen was filled with faces. Wen Xin looked at the people on the screen, smiling lightly, and lounged lazily on the sofa, watching them.

“Little Aunt, long time no see, I’ve missed you!” Zhao Yuyao, squeezed in the back, was the first to speak. It had been a long time since he saw Wen Xin, and he missed her greatly.

“Hi, long time no see. How have you all been?”

“Sister Xin, we’ve been doing well.”

“Sister Xin, you’ve been in the capital for so long without contacting us. Have you forgotten about us? But it’s okay; we’ve already arrived in the capital. I wonder if Sister Xin has time to meet us?”

Qin Ling, with his watermelon-like head, was famously unable to keep secrets. The moment he saw Wen Xin, he wanted to tell her that they had arrived in the capital.

His words caught Wen Xin’s attention. She glanced seriously at the landmark building behind them; indeed, it was the iconic building of the capital. She raised her eyebrows lazily.

“Let Wen Huai take you to Tianxiang Pavilion to wait for me. I’ll be there in half an hour.”

Seeing their excitement, Wen Xin could tell they had just arrived in the city center and hadn’t had lunch yet.

Wen Xin ended the call, entered the cloakroom, changed out of her home clothes, and grabbed a coat that Mu Chengxi had bought her. With her phone in hand, she hurriedly left the house.

As she entered the elevator, Wen Xin encountered her female neighbor from upstairs for the first time. The woman stood in the corner, eyeing Wen Xin up and down with a somewhat unfriendly look.

“Are you a resident on the 17th floor? You shouldn’t be too young, right? Do you know that as a girl, you should keep yourself clean? There’s no need to attract so many men in and out of your home. It feels unsafe to live in the same building as you!”

The woman felt uncomfortable at the thought of Mu Bei avoiding her. Why should he, the man she liked, fancy her? She should cherish him instead of flirting with so many men every day while Mu Bei was away.

“Are you talking about me?” Wen Xin was momentarily puzzled by what the woman was saying.

When Mu Chengxi was at home, indeed, many things were going on, and Liang Luoyu and several others often visited their home. But she couldn’t understand what the woman meant by ‘unsafe.’

“Yes, I’m talking about you. Just because you have good looks, you think it’s okay to do things that degrade yourself. Women should have self-respect…”

“Degrade myself? Did you see it? Or is it just your imagination running wild because that’s who you are?” Wen Xin looked at the woman in front of her with cold eyes. She believed that she had never offended her.

“Never mind, I don’t want to argue with you. A person who wears see-through outfits late at night and rings someone else’s doorbell outside the door, what good habits could they possibly have!”

Wen Xin was a bit pressed for time now. She didn’t want to keep her classmates from Class 20 waiting for too long, but she also didn’t want this person to continue living here.

Glancing at the approaching car, Wen Xin opened the door, got in, didn’t even spare a glance at the frustrated woman, and told the driver to leave.

In the car, Wen Xin felt annoyed thinking about what the woman said, but she didn’t call Mu Chengxi. Instead, she dialed Mu Bei’s number directly.

Mu Bei, who was reporting work to Mu Chengxi, suddenly felt his phone vibrate. He picked it up, glanced at the caller ID, and quickly answered the call, not daring to be even slightly neglectful.

“Miss Wen…”

Hearing that the call Mu Bei answered was from Wen Xin, Mu Chengxi also looked up from his tablet, looking towards Mu Bei’s direction.

“Okay, I got it. I’ll take care of it right away…”

Before Mu Bei could finish speaking, Wen Xin hung up the phone. Mu Bei looked at the phone in his hand, and his first reaction was that Miss Wen seemed upset…

“What’s wrong?” Mu Chengxi looked at Mu Bei’s complicated expression. He wondered if something had happened to Wen Xin. When he left the capital, he had specially arranged for someone to stay in Zhi Lan; there shouldn’t be any unexpected incidents.

“It’s someone who upset Miss Wen, the neighbor upstairs. I don’t know what she said, but it angered Miss Wen. She asked me to find a way to get rid of her…”

“You go handle it. Don’t let those insignificant matters affect her mood. She’s about to take exams soon, under a lot of pressure…”

Hearing Mu Chengxi say that Wen Xin was under pressure, Liang Luoyu and Gu Yanzhe exchanged a glance. He could believe that Wen Xin might be under pressure, but… maybe not for the exams. He felt Wen Xin didn’t really care much about the independent enrollment thing.

For Wen Xin, independent enrollment was probably just a formality. With two research institutes in her hands, entering the research institutes directly was no problem, never mind joining Beijing University.

After listening to Mu Chengxi’s words, Mu Bei’s reaction was the same as Liang

Luoyu’s and Gu Yanzhe’s. He could accept that Miss Wen didn’t want to see that woman, but hearing Master Xi say that Miss Wen was under pressure was unbelievable. After Mu Bei left the office, Liang Luoyu stood up and sat down opposite Mu Chengxi..
