Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wen Xin was already prepared to treat Old Master Wei’s illness. Mu Chengxi wanted to resolve this matter thoroughly this time, but the outcome was predictable. One of them would be angered.
“Got it. Don’t worry. I’ll be gathering with a few friends tonight.” Mu Chengxi originally wanted to bring Wen Xin over immediately, but on second thought, he was afraid that Wen Xin would be impatient, so it was better to ask in advance.
“Up to you. I’ll be leaving first!” Wen Xin did not like to be waited for. She glanced at Chief Engineer Tang who was standing not far away and said a few words to Mu Chengxi before turning around and getting into the car.
Wen Xin brought Chief Engineer Tang to Zhuge Jingming’s clinic, an antiquated courtyard. It had a distinctly historical aura, and in a place as prime as this, the only possibilities for such a small courtyard were either the prominent families of the capital city or perhaps Zhuge Jingming, a renowned figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
Chief Engineer Tang followed Wen Xin into the small courtyard. His eyes were filled with amazement. He had seen too many high-tech things, and suddenly seeing such an antique courtyard, he felt that it was not very realistic.
“Young miss, where is this place? I’ve never heard of such a place in the capital before,” Chief Engineer Tang asked excitedly. He was full of curiosity about Zhuge Jingming’s courtyard.
“The Zhuge family is a traditional Chinese medicine family in the capital. Back then, the Zhuge family was the imperial doctor who treated the royal family.
That’s why they have this courtyard.”
Wen Xin answered Chief Engineer Tang’s question with rare patience.
The two of them passed by a lotus pond before they arrived at Zhuge
Jingming’s clinic. At this time, Zhuge Jingming was taking his afternoon nap.
Wen Xin glanced at the medicine cabinets around Zhuge Jingming. She sized them up. Zhuge Jingming had all the medicinal herbs that she needed. It seemed like she could save herself a lot of trouble.
Zhuge Jingming instantly woke up when he heard the sound. His eyes lit up.
“Little Uncle-Master, you’re here? How did you get in through the back door? I even deliberately left the door open for you, but I didn’t expect you to still go around!”
Zhuge Jingming closed his doors to all guests during his afternoon break. Wen Xin had sent him a message in advance, so he had been waiting in the clinic. The main door was open, and he was worried that Wen Xin would find it too far to enter through the back door.
“I’m here to visit your courtyard. The lotus flowers in the lotus pond have bloomed. There should be quite a lot of lotus seeds, right? Madam Zhuge’s honey lotus seeds were very delicious!”
When he heard Wen Xin talking to him like a gluttonous child about wanting to eat, Zhuge Jingming smiled happily. “My wife has already prepared some for Youngest Uncle. When Youngest Uncle leaves, take it back with you. This year’s lotus seed harvest is plentiful, and the wife has made a lot. So, I prepared some more for Youngest Uncle in case there isn’t enough to eat!”
Zhuge Jingming was very respectful towards Wen Xin as he addressed her as Little Martial Uncle. However, he felt that Wen Xin was still a little girl deep down. Now that he had the chance to take care of Wen Xin, he would definitely give his best to Wen Xin.
“Be sensible!” Wen Xin sat down at the side, satisfied. She pointed at Chief Engineer Tang with her chin and said, “I’m checking my friend’s body. Help him recuperate. ‘”‘
Hearing Wen Xin’s words, Zhuge Jingming looked at Chief Engineer Tang who was sweating heavily. “It’s a small matter. You’ll recover in a week. Little
Uncle-Master, you didn’t come here specifically for this matter, did you?”
“No, I just happened to meet him by accident. It just so happened that I was coming to your place, so I brought him along. I came here this time to refine some pills. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Wen Xin stood up and picked up the tray at the side. She started to grab the medicine. Her hands were even more accurate than a scale, and she did not need any tools to help her.
When Zhuge Jingming heard that Wen Xin was going to refine medicine, he became extremely excited. The pills he had asked Wen Xin for previously at the Mu family had already cured several critically ill patients. Now that his reputation had skyrocketed, the number of people seeking him for treatment had increased by a lot.
“Little Uncle-Master, you can use my medicinal herbs as you wish. There are many precious medicinal herbs next door. Use it generously!”
Zhuge Jingming was extremely generous. Wen Xin glanced at Zhuge Jingming from the corner of her eyes and chuckled. It was not easy for the famous miser to be so generous.
Mu Chengxi had just walked into the Wei family manor when the old butler of the Wei family hurriedly ran out from inside. His expression was a little excited. It had been a long time since the young master had come to the Wei family.
“Young Master, come in quickly. It’s too hot outside. Old Master has been waiting for Young Master and hasn’t gone for his lunch break!”
She brought Mu Chengxi into the living room and the butler went to prepare some tea for Mu Chengxi, leaving the living room for the grandfather and granddaughter duo.
When Wei Yi saw Mu Chengxi walk in, he snorted coldly.” Why did you come by yourself? Where’s that wild girl?”
“Wild girl?” Mu Chengxi frowned in displeasure when he heard Wei Yi address Wen Xin as such. He lazily sat down on the sofa opposite Wei Yi.
“She’s my girlfriend, not some wild girl.’
“Not a wild girl? Look at this information. What’s the difference between her and a wild girl? She had no parents since she was young, was brought up by an old woman, did not even graduate from junior high school, and was a mess in her studies. If such a girl could make you spend so much effort, how could she be worth it?”
“Is it because she’s good-looking?”
Wei Yi had gotten someone to investigate Wen Xin’s situation. If Wen Xin was a young lady from a prestigious family, he could at least understand why Mu Chengxi had attacked Wei Shisheng for her.
However, this girl was simply useless. She had no good qualities at all. How could his grandson, who was favored by the heavens, fall for such a woman?
Mu Chengxi glanced at the investigation documents on the table. His thin lips curled up slightly and he smiled faintly. “It might be useless in your eyes, but it’s priceless to me. I’m looking for a wife, not for the Wei family. You don’t have to be so agitated.”
Mu Chengxi’s voice was cold and his tone was calm, but it was exceptionally harsh to Wei Yi’s ears. He had raised Wei Shisheng from a young age according to the requirements of the future mistress of the Mu family. How could she be inferior to a wild girl?
“Let’s not discuss this matter for now. What’s the deal with the Research
Institute? When Shi Sheng found out you needed to collaborate with the Research Institute, she actively sought their attention and helped facilitate the connection for you!”
“And you? In order to erase her excellence, you deliberately let the research institute expel her. Now that everyone in Beijing knows about it, how are you going to stop? You want to destroy her?”
When Wei Yi heard the announcement from the research institute, he immediately called Ma Wenyuan. Ma Wenyuan replied that everything was true and could not be changed.
With such a big incident, how would the people in Beijing view Wei Shisheng? How would Wei Shisheng be able to gain a foothold in the socialite circle in Beijing? Wei Shisheng’s life would be ruined by him.
“What happened at the research institute is true. Why didn’t she consider the girl’s future when she attacked Wu behind her back? She deserves it.”
Mu Chengxi did not feel that there was anything wrong with Wei Shisheng’s outcome.. It was her fault, and she should bear the responsibility!
