A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce - Chapter 649: 648: The Young Lady Appears So High-End Even When She Lies

Chapter 649: Chapter 648: The Young Lady Appears So High-End Even When She Lies
Mu Chengxi had been pondering Wen Xin’s purpose for doing this since yesterday. Half asleep, he suddenly realized that her intention was not only because of the incident with Tan Xingyue. It was not a matter of acting out of anger.

Half the reason was for the sake of the Mu family, and the other half was to cut off Jiang Linyan’s hopes. Without the Jiang family, Jiang Linyan would no longer have the capital to indulge in her wishful thinking. Such a plan, which could kill three birds with one stone, could only have been executed by Wen Xin.

As soon as Wen Xin came out of the bathroom, she saw the siblings whispering to each other. She had no interest in eavesdropping on their conversation and pushed over the wheelchair that was placed to one side, moving to Mu Chengxi’s side.

“Sit in the wheelchair and go freshen up. After breakfast, we’ll have a check-up to see how your leg is recovering. Let’s remove the cast first.”

Mu Chengxu looked at Wen Xin and blinked hard, “His injury was so severe, how could it possibly heal in just a few days? You should still be cautious.”

Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi, thought about his actions of the past few nights, and curved her lips into a light smile, “His recovery ability is very strong. He should be fine by now, we’ll just do a check-up in a while.”

Wen Xin helped Mu Chengxi out of bed, and Mu Chengxu quickly stepped forward to assist, worried that Wen Xin wouldn’t be able to manage Mu Chengxi alone; it would be bad if Wen Xin got hurt in the process.

After Mu Chengxi was safely seated in the wheelchair, Mu Bei entered from the outside, showing some embarrassment for arriving late.

“Master Xi, I encountered Miss Jiang on the way, which is why I was a bit late.”

“No worries, what did she want with you?” Mu Chengxi lifted his gaze to look at Mu Bei indifferently but was curious about how Jiang Linyan had found out about Mu Bei’s whereabouts.

“She called me and said there was something she needed me to pass on to you. I gave her an address, not expecting her to want to meet you through me. But don’t worry, Master Xi, on my way here, I made sure that Miss Jiang wasn’t following me.”

Mu Bei knew that his family’s Master Xi didn’t have a high opinion of Miss Jiang and would never dare to bring her over to cause him trouble. So Mu Bei intentionally took some detours before arriving at the hospital, which was why he was a bit late.

Mu Chengxi watched Mu Bei quietly withdraw his gaze. He didn’t know whether to call Mu Bei naive or brainless. Was Jiang Linyan the kind of person who could be easily deceived?

“Alright, leave this matter alone. If Jiang Linyan contacts you again, just block her and that will be enough. There’s no need to say so much to her.”

“Understood, Master Xi.”

Wen Xin, pushing Mu Chengxi in the wheelchair, led Mu Chengxi to the restroom to freshen up. Mu Chengxu, pulling Mu Bei, stepped out of the ward. Before they could speak, they saw Jiang Linyan standing outside the ward, looking utterly exhausted.

Jiang Linyan and Mu Chengxu used to have a very good relationship. Mu Chengxu had always treated Jiang Linyan like a little sister and had a certain fondness for her. Suddenly seeing her in such a state stirred some pity in him.

“How have you let yourself become like this? You look so exhausted; Old Master Jiang would be so heartbroken to see you!” Mu Chengxu quickly approached Jiang Linyan and sat her down on a bench nearby.

“Sister, you have to help me. Please talk to Chengxi for me. He’s the only one who can help my father now…”

The usually spirited Jiang Linyan suddenly showed weakness to Mu Chengxu, crying so pitifully that Mu Chengxu was momentarily thrown into a panic. He almost couldn’t help blurting out an agreement to her request.

Just as she was about to speak, Mu Chengxu’s mind suddenly cleared up, and he gently patted Jiang Linyan’s shoulder.

“Linyan, it’s not that your sister doesn’t want to help you, but I’m powerless, too,” Mu Chengxi said. “In Beijing, he’s just a wastrel. How could he possibly help you? Everyone in Beijing knows what kind of person he is. How could you even think he would be able to help you?”

“Also, don’t think too highly of Mu Chengxi. Although he’s the head of the Mu family, look at what he counts for in the Mu family—he doesn’t have any real power in his hands. You really don’t need to hold him in such regard!”

Standing by Mu Chengxu’s side, Mu Bei watched as Mu Chengxu spouted nonsense with such seriousness that even he couldn’t help but admire her. Was this how sophisticated the young miss told lies? Truly amazing.

“Sister… but…”

Jiang Linyan was momentarily at a loss for words from what Mu Chengxu had said. She had prepared many arguments for herself, but they were all squashed by Mu Chengxu’s few sentences.

“Sister… Please help me. Maybe Chengxi has a way? He may not often be in Beijing, but all his connections are there. He can definitely help me…”

Jiang Linyan clung to Mu Chengxu’s arm with a pitiable look, attempting to soften Mu Chengxu’s heart. As long as Mu Chengxu took pity, given the relationship between her and Mu Chengxi, even if Mu Chengxi was reluctant to help, he would listen to Mu Chengxu, to her own…

The Jiang family’s hopes, no… rather, Old Jiang’s hopes were all pinned on Mu Chengxi. With his help, they may still have a chance to turn things around.

“Sister…”

Just as Jiang Linyan was about to say more, Wen Xin opened the door from the ward and glanced coldly at Jiang Linyan sitting on the bench without a word. She walked straight toward the nurse’s station, ready to arrange for Mu Chengxi’s medical examination.

Jiang Linyan watched Wen Xin’s retreating figure, roughly guessing who was in the ward. She gripped Mu Chengxu’s arm in agitation, looking at her with a demeaning expression.

“Sister, please help me, okay? I know the person in the ward is Mu Chengxi. Let me see him, please. As long as he’s willing to help my father, he can set any condition he wants. If I can do it, I will agree to anything!”

Mu Chengxu had known Jiang Linyan since she was a child, and it truly pained her to see Jiang Linyan begging in such a lowly manner.

“Linyan, Chengxi has been in poor health recently. Asking him to help you is beyond his capacity. Your father’s issue is just too significant. If even Old Master Jiang can’t solve the problem, how can Mu Chengxi possibly achieve it?”

The moment Jiang Linyan verified that the person in the ward was Mu Chengxi, she couldn’t hear a thing Mu Chengxu was saying. She suddenly stood up from the bench, not giving it another thought, and rushed toward the ward.

Just as her hand touched the doorknob, a hand as pale and smooth as jade grasped her wrist tightly.

Jiang Linyan thought it was Mu Chengxu trying to stop her. She looked up, ready to plead with Mu Chengxu, but what she saw was a face of chilling and matchless beauty.

It was Wen Xin who had stopped her, not letting her enter Mu Chengxi’s ward.
