Wen Xin and Liang Luoyu arrived at the airport just in time. They had just reached the airport when Wen Huai, carrying a suitcase and a pet carrier, walked out from the terminal.
Just as Wen Xin was about to approach him, a gorgeously dressed woman got out of a car and walked towards Wen Huai. After a brief conversation and taking the suitcase from him, she did not take the pet carrier.
Liang Luoyu, observing Wen Huai and then looking at Wen Xin’s cold expression beside him, hesitated before asking softly, “Is that woman Ma Wenyuan’s wife? I think I’ve seen her at some banquet before.”
“Yes, that’s Ma Wenyuan’s wife, Wen Zhimo.”
Hearing that Ma Wenyuan’s wife also had the surname Wen, Liang Luoyu turned to look at Wen Xin with surprise, “She’s related to you too?”
“My aunt,” Wen Xin responded casually. “Otherwise, do you think Wen family’s assets could have fallen into Ma Wenyuan’s hands so easily?”
Wen Xin chuckled lightly at Liang Luoyu’s dumbfounded look, then teasingly raised her eyebrows, “Have you been taking the medicine I gave you? Otherwise, how come you haven’t improved at all?”
“I…” Liang Luoyu started to say something but swallowed his words as he looked into Wen Xin’s eyes, murmuring under his breath, “I always feel like you’re scolding me, but I have no proof…”
“You’re actually not wrong about that, but the medicine I gave you really does help your brain, don’t doubt it!” Wen Xin said with a soft smile, then patted Liang Luoyu’s shoulder, “Wait for me here. I’ll be right back.”
Wen Xin glanced in the direction not too far away, then casually walked towards Wen Huai with a carefree and reckless demeanor, exuding an air of wild elegance.
Liang Luoyu watched her figure from behind and couldn’t help feeling like he was seeing Mu Chengxi – that overwhelming aura was just too much.
Wen Zhimo was momentarily taken aback by Wen Xin’s arrival. She was speaking kindly to Wen Huai one moment, and the next, her expression turned ugly.
“What are you doing here? Didn’t you say you would never return to the Wen family? Why are you here now?” Wen Zhimo turned her head away, unwilling to spare Wen Xin another glance, still unable to forget the harsh words Wen Xin had once said to her.
“I didn’t come back for the Wen family this time. Since Auntie remembers my words so well, then please continue to remember them if you think it’ll make you feel better,” Wen Xin replied without any extra words, took the pet carrier from Wen Huai, turned around, and walked back towards Liang Luoyu.
After Wen Xin left, Wen Zhimo sneakily looked in Wen Xin’s direction. Seeing Wen Xin with Liang Luoyu, her already displeased expression became nervous.
“Didn’t Ma Wenyuan say she was with that Mu Chengxi from the Mu family? Why is she now with the Liang family’s young master? Why does she pick boyfriends who are so unreliable?”
Wen Zhimo watched every move of Wen Xin, fighting the urge to go over and drag Wen Xin back home.
Watching Wen Zhimo’s agitated demeanor, Wen Huai couldn’t help but smile slightly. He took the initiative to hold Wen Zhimo’s arm, “Aunt, if you’re worried about my sister, just tell her directly. Let her know, why be so stubborn? You’re just like her, not willing to speak out and bear everything alone.”
“That young master Liang is my sister’s friend and is often around Mu Chengxi. Mu Chengxi is not as bad as the rumors in Beijing say. He’s very kind to my sister, and you don’t have to worry at all.”
Wen Huai’s voice was calm, and his gaze remained on Wen Xin. He cherished his sister and would naturally keep a close watch over her.
He might not have access to Mu Chengxi’s information, but he has seen how well Mu Chengxi treated Wen Xin, and he believes Mu Chengxi would not hurt her.
“You’re still too naive. With the chaos in the Mu family and Old Madam Mu in charge, your sister, who has always been uneducated and unknown about her academic performance, refuses to return to the Wen family and has no support. Do you think the Mu family will treat your sister well?”
Wen Zhimo’s concern was evident as she watched Wen Xin get into Liang Luoyu’s car, only turning her gaze back after the car had driven away.
“Your sister has always been too opinionated, refusing to listen to anyone. She wasted her life for the sake of that girl from the Tan family. In the future, everyone will say she’s just a wild girl from the mountains. Even if Mu Chengxi likes her, she’ll inevitably be bullied and ridiculed by others.”
Hearing Wen Zhimo’s words, Wen Huai didn’t argue or explain how famous Wen Xin currently was. Instead, he gently embraced Wen Zhimo, comforting her with a mature tone, “Auntie, your tough exterior but soft heart is really endearing. With you around, if anyone dares to bully my sister, you’d be the first to protect her. Why worry about those people?”
As he spoke, Wen Huai’s tone darkened, and he said in a very mature tone,” Aunt, Sister has her own things to do. She didn’t come back to you because she didn’t want to bring you trouble. Don’t blame her.”
“Of course, I know that. But she’s ultimately a member of the Wen family. She’s suffered so much being away, and I, as her aunt, can’t help but worry. She’s just like your mother, too stubborn. If she had been a bit softer back then, maybe… Let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s go home.”
Wen Zhimo seemed resigned, shaking her head. She had not understood much back then, and by the time she did, everything had already happened. The only thing she could do was protect her brother’s children, but even in this, she felt she had failed.
Wen Xin sat in the car with Liang Luoyu driving. He kept glancing at the rearview mirror, worried about Wen Xin’s mood and considering whether to call Mu Chengxi.
“Just drive. You don’t have to look at me. Take me to Zhuge Jingming’s clinic; I have something to do.”
Hearing Wen Xin’s tone not as cold as before, Liang Luoyu relaxed, changed his route at the traffic light, and headed towards Zhuge Jingming’s clinic.
“Wen Xiaoxin, you and your aunt don’t get along well? But I see you have a good relationship with Ma Wenxuan. What’s the story there?”
“The story is simple. I disobeyed, and my aunt got angry, so she cut ties with me. But Ma Wenxuan is different. Although he’s my aunt’s husband, he’s also my father’s disciple. We’ve kept in touch, so I call him Uncle Ma, not
Uncle-in-law..”
