A Big Shot’s Woman Is Wild and Fierce - Chapter 780

Chapter 780: Chapter 779: Her? She’s not a simple person at all…

Hearing the familiar voice of Wen Xin and smelling the familiar scent, Wen Xin finally came to her senses from the pain.

Once she confirmed that the person holding her was Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin nestled into Mu Chengxi’s arms and hugged him tightly.

Mu Chengxi gently soothed Wen Xin’s back with one hand, trying to calm her emotions, and spoke to her in a gentle tone.

“Let me take you home.”

“Mhm.” Wen Xin lay in Mu Chengxi’s embrace, striving to stabilize her emotions, not allowing herself to think about those painful things anymore.

Mu Chengxi, hearing Wen Xin’s response, directly lifted her from the chair and carried her towards the exit.

Mu Bei, seeing this, walked ahead of the two, leading Mu Chengxi to where he had parked.

…

Mu Chengxi carried Wen Xin back home and took her straight into the bedroom, placing her on the bed.

By this time, Wen Xin’s emotions had settled down. She lifted her head to look at Mu Chengxi, reaching out to hold his hand.

“Don’t worry about me, I’m fine,” Wen Xin said with a faint smile; she didn’t want to trouble Mu Chengxi with her own issues.

Mu Chengxi, gazing down at Wen Xin’s smile, felt his emotions, which had just calmed down, becoming heartbroken again. He bent down to sit at the bedside, pulled Wen Xin into his arms, and hugged her tightly.

“If I’m not worried about you, who else would I worry about?” Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin and sighed softly. Wen Xin’s current state was actually what worried him the most. He would rather have her show her vulnerable side than have her stubbornly endure on her own.

Wen Xin rested her head on Mu Chengxi’s shoulder, clutching the hem of his clothes, and spoke muffledly against his chest.

“I thought I could resist those things in my heart, but when it came to it, I realized I can’t be at peace until the person who hurt my parents is found.”

Mu Chengxi, embracing Wen Xin’s waist, soothed her spine gently, “That day won’t be too far off.”

Mu Chengxi bent down and gently kissed Wen Xin’s cheek, then continued to hold her quietly, without speaking for a long while.

In a high-rise office building in Beijing, a man sat behind a desk, looking at the documents on his desk. Suddenly, in annoyance, he slammed the folders on the desk to the floor.

“Useless crap, didn’t they say that we would clinch fifty percent within a week? How come more than ten days have passed, and only these few companies are willing to work with us? What exactly are you all doing!”

The man stood up abruptly from his chair, leaning with both hands on the desk, his eyes coldly fixed on the man and woman standing before him.

“CEO Wen, please calm down. This matter isn’t entirely our fault. At the beginning, we indeed made smooth progress, especially after collaborating with Mu Chengxu; a lot of people were eager to work with us.”

“But then… Mu Group released a promotional campaign for a chip project, and those who initially wanted to partner with us suddenly changed their tune, becoming unwilling to work with us. We are still trying to win them over.”

Mentioning Mu Chengxi’s project, Xiao Ci’s face turned somewhat ugly, as the project was too revolutionary, completely overcoming the limitations in the chip industry.

The future of this project is indeed bright, just giving them a small share would change the status of those small and medium-sized enterprises in Beijing.

After listening to Xiao Ci’s words, Wen Yunuo’s expression did not improve much. His gaze fell on the woman standing next to Xiao Ci, and his astute eyes narrowed slightly.

“Miss Jiang, when you took over this project, didn’t you vow to me that you would complete it ahead of schedule? Why is it that half the time has passed, yet I see no significant urgency in the project? Could it be that you are not as influential in Beijing as you’ve claimed?”

Looking at Jiang Linyan’s arrogant demeanor, Wen Yunuo let out a cold, light laugh.

He circled around from behind his desk and walked up to Jiang Linyan, lightly lifting her chin with his finger.

“You’re actually quite pretty, but why are you so incompetent? No wonder you lost to Wen Xin!”

Wen Yunuo was very clear on how to hit someone’s sore spot, and for Jiang Linyan, that sore spot was Wen Xin; that was why they chose to cooperate with the Jiang family.

He was using Jiang Linyan’s rage to strike at Wen Xin, saving him a lot of trouble.

Whether in Beijing or Independent State, the Wen family did not like to confront Wen Xin directly, as there was familial affection between them, but to kill with a borrowed knife… that was a good method.

Sure enough, Wen Yunuo’s words were a fatal provocation for Jiang Linyan.

She had never accepted being outdone by Wen Xin, and now to be mocked for it, her heart seemed to have ignited with a furious flame, threatening to consume her.

“I will find a way to deal with her. She’s just a country bumpkin; I refuse to believe she has any real ability.”

At this moment, Jiang Linyan was nearly driven mad by the rage within her. She had never taken Wen Xin seriously, resenting the fact that such a woman had taken everything from her, plunging her into this kind of life.

After speaking, Jiang Linyan stormed out of Wen Yunuo’s office, leaving only Wen Yunuo and Xiao Ci in the spacious office.

“Having been in Beijing for so long, have you seen Wen Xin? She should still remember you, right?”

Wen Yunuo settled back into his office chair, picked up a cigar from the desk, sniffed it gently at the tip of his nose, and then pinched it lightly between his fingers.

“Replying to the young master, I haven’t encountered Miss Wen during my time in Beijing. I even made inquiries, and Miss Wen has not been in Beijing recently. She only returned yesterday noon, and Jiang Linyan delivered the invitation to her in the evening.”

Listening to Xiao Ci’s words, Wen Yunuo gently closed his eyes, a slight smile lifting the corners of his mouth.

“In the days we haven’t seen each other, she has truly grown. She used to be just a stubborn little girl, and now she’s someone who dares to throw bombs at the Wen family.”

Hearing Wen Yunuo mention that Wen Xin was the one who threw the bombs at the Wen family, Xiao Ci’s eyes widened in shock. He couldn’t and didn’t want to believe that Wen Xin would take action against her own family.

“Young master, are you sure about this? Wasn’t it said that those two bombs were thrown by Mu Chengxi, and that Mu Chengxi indeed has close ties with Sector 26?”

Xiao Ci looked at Wen Yunuo, still not quite believing that Wen Xin would do such a thing. Although she was the most solitary during special training, the notion of her attacking the Wen family still seemed unlikely.

“What? Can’t believe it?” Wen Yunuo looked at Xiao Ci’s shocked expression, a gentle smile crossing his face, “Though the bombs might have been Mu Chengxi’s, they were surely ordered by Wen Xin. Don’t forget, at that time, Mu Chengxi had already been tortured beyond recognition…”
