After the final suture was made, the nurse escorted Old Master Jiang to the recovery room, and only then did Wen Xin slowly rise from her seat.

Noticing Wen Xin’s unease, Su Haoran removed his surgical gown and approached her without asking for her thoughts. He simply lifted Wen Xin into his arms and carried her out of the operating room.

Outside the operating room, there were many people waiting, most of whom were from the Jiang family.

“Director Li, how did my grandfather’s surgery go?” A woman wearing a beige overcoat rushed to the front, grabbing Li Tong’s arm, her excitement palpable.

Li Tong and Du Luqing were the first to come out of the operating room. Seeing them, the Jiang family quickly surrounded them.

“Old Master Jiang’s surgery was very successful. He needs to be observed in the ICU for a few days, and he could wake up at any time. Since the old man is in good health, coupled with the excellent skills of our chief surgeon, he is not in any danger…”

Listening to Li Tong’s calm words, the Jiang family didn’t believe it at all. If it were as simple as he said, why did the surgery take so long? It must be more difficult than he was letting on.

“Dean Li, there’s no need to hide anything from us. We know my father’s condition is not optimistic, so you only need to tell the truth. We can accept it, and we won’t blame the institute.”

The eldest son of Old Master Jiang stepped forward, his strong demeanor exuding an invisible pressure as he spoke.

“Mr. Jiang, we’re not exaggerating or hiding the truth. What we’re saying is the truth. The doctor who performed surgery on Old Master Jiang is very skilled, and the surgery was indeed successful.”

Li Tong patiently explained to the Jiang family. At this moment, Wen Xin had already regained her strength. Together with Su Haoran, she walked out of the operating room, holding her phone and adding Su Haoran’s contact information.

“Miss Wen, you came out just in time. These are Old Master Jiang’s family members…”

As Wen Xin heard Li Tong’s introduction, she slowly raised her head and saw the woman in the beige coat. She recognized her at a glance; she was the woman who had been laughing and chatting with Mu Chengxi.

This world is so f*cking small!

Wen Xin glanced lightly at the Jiang family, her pale face showing no expression.

“Director Li, there’s nothing for me to do. I’ll leave first.” Not wanting to greet those people, Wen Xin prepared to leave with her phone in hand.

“I’ll walk you…” Ou Jinzhi stepped out of the crowd, looking at Wen Xin’s pale face, feeling sorry for her going home alone.

Seeing Ou Jinzhi, Wen Xin was somewhat surprised. She stood still and tilted her head slightly, somewhat puzzled as to why he was there.

At this moment, Ou Jinzhi’s wife also walked out of the crowd. “Miss Wen, we meet again. Thank you for saving my grandfather. Last time, you saved my son, and this time, you saved my grandfather again. We really owe you too much.”

“Miss Wen, let Jinzhi send you home.”

Hearing that Wen Xin had saved Ou Youyou, the Jiang family eagerly looked at Wen Xin. Wen Xin felt extremely uncomfortable for a while. She waved her hand at Ou Jinzhi and his wife.

“No need, I can go back by myself. You should all wait for news about Grandpa.

He should be awake tomorrow morning.”

Wen Xin directly refused the kind offer from Ou Jinzhi and his wife. However, Ou Jinzhi looked at Wen Xin’s floating steps and felt uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, he took out his phone and prepared to make a call. “How about I ask Chengxi to come and pick you up?

Hearing Ou Jinzhi mention Mu Chengxi, the woman in the beige coat standing nearby dropped her handbag to the ground, drawing the attention of many people.

“Linyan, what’s wrong? Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?”

Wen Xin’s gaze fell on Jiang Linyan, and she smiled coldly. “No need. Mu Chengxi is probably on his way here to see Miss Jiang. I’ll just wait for him downstairs.”

Ou Jinzhi seemed to notice something wrong with Wen Xin’s smile and turned his head to look at Jiang Linyan, his brows furrowing slightly.

Without saying much, Wen Xin turned and left under the gaze of everyone.

Outside the research institute, a black Maybach was parked by the roadside. A man with an outstanding figure, dressed in a black windbreaker, leaned against the car, holding a cigarette in his hand. The faint red light of the cigarette seemed somewhat dazzling.

Wen Xin walked up and stood one meter away from the man, her lips curling into a cold smile. “What’s this, Mr. Mu waiting here for Miss Jiang?”

Upon hearing Wen Xin’s voice, Mu Chengxi abruptly turned his head. His pitch-black eyes met Wen Xin’s chilly gaze, and an uneasy feeling swept over him. Indeed, Wen Xin had seen him talking to Jiang Linyan earlier, so she left in a huff.

“I… I can explain.” Mu Chengxi extinguished the cigarette in his hand and approached Wen Xin cautiously, wanting to hold her hand.

“No need. You can wait here for Miss Jiang. I’m going back to rest.”

Wen Xin dodged Mu Chengxi’s hand and assumed a defensive posture. If Mu Chengxi dared to come closer, she wouldn’t hesitate to strike.

Seeing Mu Chengxi’s slightly furrowed brows, Wen Xin felt this man in front of her was really boring. She turned around and walked towards the roadside, ignoring Mu Chengxi.

“Wen Xin, I can explain.” Mu Chengxi completely disregarded the car parked by the roadside and followed behind Wen Xin, trying to grab her hand.

But before he could touch Wen Xin’s hand, she grabbed his wrist instead. Her fingers pinched his injured wrist, causing him to involuntarily inhale sharply.

Hearing Mu Chengxi’s sharp intake of breath, Wen Xin leaned lazily against the roadside billboard, raising an eyebrow at him. “I told you, you’d better stay away from me. I don’t want to see you right now.”

“I can explain. I just happened to meet her while waiting for you. She took the initiative to talk to me, so I chatted with her casually.”

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin’s pale face, feeling heartbroken. He wanted to take Wen Xin home and explain everything properly. However, it seemed that if he couldn’t explain things clearly today, Wen Xin wouldn’t forgive him.

“Do you think I’ll believe that?” Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi with a cold smile, her expression indifferent.

“Mu Chengxi, have you not realized your own feelings? Your attitude towards her was different when you talked to her, and you’ve never been so relaxed when talking to your sister. Can’t you feel it yourself?”

“I’m tired. I don’t want to hear your explanation, and I don’t want to discuss this issue with you. This matter has nothing to do with me. She’s here…”

Wen Xin’s peripheral vision caught a figure rushing out of the research institute. That person was the source of their problem, Jiang Linyan.

Wen Xin shook off Mu Chengxi’s wrist, automatically ignoring the sticky feeling between her fingers.

She reached out and hailed a passing taxi, opening the door and getting in. “Go to a nearby hotel..”
