Chapter 659: Chapter 658 Master Xi Fully Exerts His Aura, Not Giving Old Master Jiang a Chance to Speak
Mu Bei looked at Wen Xin lying in the rocking chair, feeling that he couldn’t see through her. He didn’t understand why Wen Xin didn’t care at all upon hearing about Old Master Jiang’s visit and even had an expression of watching the excitement unfold.

“Miss Wen, Old Master Jiang has arrived. Aren’t you and Master Xi going to have a look?”

“Why should I go? I’m not part of the Mu family!”

Wen Xin glanced at Mu Bei casually, a faint smile on her lips, seeming to be in a very good mood.

Right after Wen Xin’s words left her mouth, she felt a cold gaze sweep by her side. She turned her head to look at Mu Chengxi, chuckled lightly, set down the book in her hand, and reached up to pinch Mu Chengxi’s cheek.

“I misspoke, I should say I have not yet married into the Mu family. I can’t manage the affairs of the Mu family, just push your Master Xi over to handle it.”

Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi, picked up a piece of watermelon from the plate with a fork, and stuffed it into Mu Chengxi’s mouth, then smiled gently at him.

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin, who took pleasure in his misfortune, and kissed the corners of her lips irritably, then sat back down in the wheelchair.

Mu Bei, who had witnessed everything by now, watched Mu Chengxi in disbelief, rubbing his eyes vigorously. What had he just seen? It seemed like he saw Mu Chengxi stand up.

“Master… Master Xi… you… what’s this…” Mu Bei, shocked by Mu Chengxi’s gesture, found himself at a loss for words. He simply couldn’t fathom what was going on with Mu Chengxi.

He knew the extent of Mu Chengxi’s injury and how Wen Xin had cared for him tirelessly day and night, but now, his Master Xi… what exactly was happening?

Wen Xin picked up the ancient book again, unwilling to even glance at Mu Bei. She thought he was too foolish, yet at the same time, knew too much.

Mu Chengxi shifted his gaze away from Wen Xin, looked coldly at Mu Bei, and pressed his distinct fingers against his lips, subtly raising an eyebrow.

In an instant, Mu Bei understood what Mu Chengxi meant. He quickly shut his surprised mouth, lowered his head, and walked over to Mu Chengxi’s side, pushing his wheelchair out of the courtyard.

Old Master Jiang had already had a cup of tea in the front hall of the Mu family’s old mansion and was looking at the butler, who stood respectfully opposite him, as he spoke with an authoritative tone.

“How has Old Madam Mu been recently? Why haven’t I seen her come out to catch up?”

Unable to wait for Mu Chengxi or Old Madam Mu, Old Master Jiang, left waiting in the front hall, grew somewhat impatient. Although the butler’s care in observing the niceties was meticulous, the absence of the main members of the Mu family still left him somewhat displeased.

“Old Master Jiang, our Old Madam has indeed been feeling unwell these last couple of days and is not in a convenient state to receive guests. You also know that the recent issues with our Second Master have been quite complicated, so the Old Madam directly handed over the Mu family matters to Seventh Young Master.”

“Today, just happens to be the day that Seventh Young Master is at home. Please wait a little longer, Old Master Jiang. The Seventh Young Master is also not in the best of health and is coming over a bit slowly, so please don’t be too anxious.”

The butler knew that Old Master Jiang was losing patience with the wait, but it wasn’t something he could decide. He simply had no other choice.

As the butler was explaining to Old Master Jiang, Mu Bei, pushing Mu Chengxi slowly, came in from the outside.

Old Master Jiang was quite surprised to see Mu Chengxi being wheeled in by Mu Bei. He stood up and walked over to Mu Chengxi, “What happened to you? How did you end up like this?”

As Old Master Jiang approached, Mu Chengxi didn’t rush to reply. Instead, he smiled nonchalantly.

“I took a trip out and had a little accident. Now I have to rely on a wheelchair to get around, but there’s no need for you to worry, Old Master Jiang.”

Mu Chengxi moved his wheelchair to a halt next to a host’s seat and waited for Old Master Jiang to return and sit down.

“Did you come today because of the Jiang family’s affairs?” Mu Chengxi didn’t want to beat around the bush with the old man in front of him. Not that he didn’t have the patience, he just felt it wasn’t necessary since he had come to resolve the issue.

Mu Chengxi’s straightforwardness made Old Master Jiang somewhat uncomfortable. He hadn’t expected Mu Chengxi to discuss this matter so candidly and dive into the heart of the matter so quickly.

“Indeed, that’s the case.”

With no chance to beat around the bush, Old Master Jiang felt somewhat helpless. He hadn’t expected Mu Chengxi to be ready for a confrontation, not even attempting to hide his intentions.

“Chengxi, I actually came here today hoping to see Wen Xin as well. I just don’t know if it’s convenient for her to come out and have a word with an old man like me?”

“Wen Xin? She’s not very available at the moment. Old Master Jiang, you can tell me anything directly, and I will convey your thoughts to her. However, there is one thing concerning Mr. Jiang that is beyond the possibility of turning back now.”

“I know that Old Master Jiang would not have come today if you weren’t already certain about some things. Wen Xin grew up in Ancient Town Square depending solely on Tan Xingyue. She won’t let this go easily— not implicating the Jiang family has already been a show of consideration for Old Master Jiang.”

“So, I hope that Old Master Jiang will not make things difficult for Wen Xin…”

Old Master Jiang’s pupils dilated involuntarily at Mu Chengxi’s words. He had not expected Mu Chengxi to lay out his thoughts so bluntly, leaving him no room to maneuver.

Old Master Jiang, left speechless by Mu Chengxi, gripped the armrest of his chair forcefully with one hand and his walking stick with the other. Anyone not looking closely wouldn’t notice that he was trembling.

Mu Chengxi noted this detail and unconsciously furrowed his brow as he looked at Old Master Jiang.

“Old Master Jiang, Wen Xin has already made herself quite clear. As long as no one causes her trouble, she won’t do anything. But if someone troubles her again, it’s not just Wen Xin who won’t stand for it— even I won’t let her be bullied for nothing.”

Mu Chengxi spoke very calmly, and Old Master Jiang, who had initially wanted to soften Wen Xin using the relationship from her parent’s side, found that it now seemed unnecessary.

“I understand your meaning. I will handle the matter with Linyan and make sure she won’t cause any more trouble. Please apologize to Wen Xin for me. It was my fault for not stopping Jiang Desheng that day, which led to her friend being wronged!”

“Don’t worry, I will process Jiang Linfei’s paperwork for going abroad as quickly as possible, and she will not return to Jingda University. I hope Miss Wen will be generous in this matter.”

Old Master Jiang’s tone suddenly darkened. Mu Chengxi knew that this change in attitude was due to Old Master Jiang not having been able to negotiate the desired outcome.

“I will pass Old Master Jiang’s words on to Wen Xin. I hope you will take good care of yourself, for the Jiang family remains stable as long as you are well.”
