Wen Xin sat back on the sofa and took her phone from her backpack. She saw a few messages, one of which was from Yuan Junye.
“Little Xinxin, your Mu Chengxi seems to have a lot of opinions about me. I wonder if it will affect my business? My company has just established itself in Beijing. It shouldn’t be destroyed by him, right?”
Wen Xin looked at Junye’s message and seemed to sense his fear. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she typed a few words casually. ” No, he knows I have shares in your company. He won’t do anything to it.”
She thought that reassurance was enough. However, she did not expect him to reply immediately. “You mean, if he won’t do anything to the company, but he will do something to me?”
“I don’t think so. I’ll introduce him to you in the future.”
After replying to Junye’s message, Wen Xin glanced at the other messages sent by others. She randomly picked a few and replied to them before turning off her phone.
At that moment, Mu Chengxi also finished his call and walked out of the dining room. He walked to Wen Xin’s side and sat down. His actions were very natural as he pulled Wen Xin into his embrace.
“I’m going to the old mansion. I might be back a little late today. If you’re tired, go to bed first. Everything in the bedroom has been changed. There are some clothes in the suitcase for you to change into, as well as pajamas. If you’re tired, sleep for a while.”
Mu Chengxi knew that Wen Xin had gone through more than twenty hours of surgery which was very tiring. Even if she slept for a day and a night, she would not fully recover. He actually hoped that Wen Xin could have a good sleep.
“Got it. You can go to the old mansion. I’ll rest when I’m tired.” Wen Xin raised her head to look at Mu Chengxi and gently rubbed against his chest. She was a little greedy for the smell of his body.
The two cuddled on the sofa for a while before Mu Chengxi reluctantly let go of Wen Xin. He then went upstairs to change his clothes and left Lan Zhi with Mu Dong.
On the way to the old mansion, Mu Chengxi went to Zhuge Jingming’s clinic. He took from Zhuge Jingming the herbs that Wen Xin wanted Auntie Fu to use to make pear paste and also gave him the Chinese medicine information that Wen Xin had compiled.
Recently, Beijing University’s Medical Department had hired Zhuge Jingming as an honorary professor of Beijing University’s Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Wen Xin’s information was very useful to Jingming.
Watching Mu Dong load the herbs into the car, Jingming called out to Chengxi in a stern voice just as Chengxi was about to leave.
“Young Marshal Mu…’
Mu Chengxi heard Jingming’s solemn and cautious voice. He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him.
“Young Marshal Mu, there are some things that I’ve been hesitating about for a long time, but I still want to talk to you. I wonder if I can take up a few minutes of Young Marshal Mu’s time?”
Zhuge Jingming looked at the elegant man. He admitted that no one was more suitable for Wen Xin than Mu Chengxi, but the Mu family’s status might not be suitable for Wen Xin.
He originally did not want to say these words. As his Martial Nephew, he should not be involved in Wen Xin’s matters. However, he had watched Wen Xin grow up. Although he had always addressed her as Little Martial Uncle, he had also treated Wen Xin as a child from the bottom of his heart and wanted her to be happy.
Chengxi followed Jingming into his courtyard and stood at the edge of the lotus pond. He looked at the yellowed lotus leaves and waited for Zhuge Jingming to speak.
“When I met Youngest Uncle, she was only a seven-year-old child. She stubbornly sat in the courtyard, holding a medicinal pestle that was taller than her, pounding medicine for Grandmaster.”
“The people in the sect were very curious. The grandmaster was already seventy or eighty years old, so why was he personally taking care of such a young disciple? The grandmaster explained that there is a huge stone in this child’s heart. If he doesn’t bring her to the sect to learn and let her learn medicine to cure her little sister, one day, this child will destroy herself.”
“Later on, Little Uncle Master became very powerful. Everyone heard that the grandmaster’s last disciple was very skilled in medicine. Still, no one knew that her acupuncture techniques were all practiced on her own body, one needle after another. She never showed mercy to herself, which is why she was so powerful.”
“I invited Mr. Mu in today to chat not because I want to tell Mr. Mu how powerful Youngest Uncle is. I just want to ask Mr. Mu not to bully Youngest Uncle. Youngest Uncle has our Green Physician Sect behind her. Although we are inferior to the Mu family in terms of status, who can guarantee that we won’t look up to her for the rest of our lives?”
Jingming regained his childish side. Although every word he said was a warning to Mu Chengxi, Chengxi could not find any fault with him. Instead, he nodded in agreement.
“I will remember what you said. In the future, if the Green Physician Sect has any problems, feel free to come and find me. You are Wen Xin’s maiden family, so we are naturally one rammy.’
Zhuge Jingming looked at Mu Chengxi in surprise. He only wanted to remind him to take good care of Wen Xin, but he did not expect to receive a promise from Mu Chengxi.
“I’ll thank Young Master Mu on behalf of the Green Physician Sect. I hope that
Young Master Mu will fulfill your promise and take good care of Youngest Uncle.”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
When Mu Chengxi heard that Wen Xin’s acupuncture technique was trained and honed with her own body, he could not calm down. He found it hard to imagine how much pain Wen Xin had to endure to have such amazing medical skills.
He knew that every step Wen Xin had taken since she was young had been extraordinary and arduous. However, it was hard for Mu Chengxi to imagine such a difficult journey.
At six in the evening, there was a heavy traffic jam on the roads in the capital. What was normally a twenty-minute journey took more than an hour. It was almost seven when they arrived at the Mu family’s old residence.
Today was the Mu family’s banquet. It was a grand festival for the Mu family. Everyone came to the Mu family early, waiting to get their share of the dividends from the old lady.
However, Mu Chengxi was an exception. Every year, he would only show up in a hurry at the family banquet and leave after saying goodbye to the old lady.
This year was even worse. The family banquet was about to begin, but Mu Chengxi was still nowhere to be seen.
Everyone in the Mu family wanted to take this opportunity to badmouth Chengxi in front of the old madam. However, just a day ago, the old madam’s most beloved granddaughter had returned. She doted on Mu Chengxi the most, and no one dared to say anything bad about him in front of her.
Recognizing Old Madam Mu’s love for Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin, the two of them could do whatever they wanted in the Mu family, and no one would dare provoke them.
Mu Chengxu was talking to the assistant she had brought back. She crossed her arms and stood by the corridor of the old house, looking in the direction of the courtyard door.
“Are you sure? Are you sure the pills that the godly doctor put up for auction are not in stock?”
