Chapter 633: Chapter 632: Exhausting Every Scheme to Please the Enchantingly Beautiful Concubine
After learning about Jiang Desheng’s incident, Old Master Jiang had already arranged for someone to clarify the whole sequence of events, and it wasn’t until he saw the dossier that he understood the things his “good” son had done behind his back.
After blowing up, Old Master Jiang wearily waved his hand at Jiang Linyan, “Take your mother upstairs to rest. As for your father’s matter, let’s wait and see what happens before making any moves. Acting rashly will only confirm the evidence.”
Upon hearing that Old Master Jiang hadn’t given up on Jiang Desheng and wouldn’t ignore him, Madam Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that what Jiang Desheng said before he left was true, only Old Master Jiang could save him now.
When Jiang Desheng was being taken away, he whispered instructions to Madam Jiang.
“When you go to the old house, just cry, that’s enough. Don’t say any unnecessary words, don’t try to explain anything for me, just beg my dad to save me. The more you say, the easier it is to slip up. Besides, Old Master Jiang isn’t in a mood to listen to other things when he’s angry. As long as you don’t say too much, you won’t say anything wrong…”
Jiang Desheng was taken away before he could finish speaking, and the bewildered Madam Jiang could only remember these words, not expecting them to actually come in handy.
As Madam Jiang and Jiang Linyan were going upstairs, the butler hurried in from outside, glanced around the living room, and saw only Old Master Jiang sitting on the sofa. He quickly walked over to Old Master Jiang’s side.
“Master, there has been a response from the other side. They said they can’t trace the source of any of the messages, the official reply is that they have been watching for a long time, it wasn’t a decision made on a whim, so they acted.”
As the butler finished speaking, the purple clay teapot in Old Master Jiang’s hand consequently dropped and shattered upon impact.
“Are you alright, master? I’ll call the servants right away to clean this up. Don’t move,” the butler said, startled by Old Master Jiang’s reaction. What he worried about the most was Old Master Jiang’s health, especially given that the incident had blown up into a big deal.
Looking at the broken purple clay teapot on the floor, Old Master Jiang sighed helplessly, “I’ve warned him before not to be so ostentatious in his actions. Now look what happened, I don’t even know how to start helping him!”
Old Master Jiang had long predicted that Jiang Desheng would face this calamity, but he had not expected it to come so quickly.
Suddenly, Old Master Jiang thought of something and sharply raised his head to look at the butler, “Have you investigated the identity of that girl I asked you about? Is there anything special about her?”
For some reason, Old Master Jiang felt that the calamity that had befallen the Jiang family this time was related to the girl Jiang Desheng had brought to Tianlang Base.
He didn’t know what kind of power was behind the girl, capable of involving so many people, even disturbing Old Ling who had not been seen for a long while, which could only mean the girl was no simple matter.
“Master, the girl’s information is very simple. She’s just a girl who came from a small village. Her health wasn’t good before, but then it improved, and she went to Ice City No.1 Middle School. Later, she took part in some piano competitions and was admitted to Capital University Music Department…”
“There are no other important details left. If you insist on connecting her to Beijing, she should be counted as the girl Young Master Liang Luoyu likes…”
“Young Master Liang Luoyu’s girl? Shouldn’t she be the girl that Wen Huai likes?”
Since Wen Huai was the one who called him to ask for help with getting someone out, his first reaction was that the girl was someone Wen Huai liked.
However, he had not anticipated at all that the girl could be Young Master Liang Luoyu’s object of affection. These young people’s affairs are too complicated.
“Young Master Liang Luoyu’s girl can get so many people involved, yet her background is too simple. I always feel that something is not quite right.”
“Master, aren’t you thinking too much? As you know, sir’s matter cannot be decided by a young girl! Moreover, these things do not seem to be the works of those powerful families…”
The butler stood to the side, lowering his voice and gently reminding Old Master Jiang not to make any wrong judgments due to misunderstandings.
“I hope I am overthinking it! You should pay more attention to this matter. I heard that Jin Zhi has also been affected; how is he doing?”
Old Mr. Ou was very satisfied with his grandson-in-law, Ou Jinzhi, and he did not want to see one member of the Jiang family go down and drag another one with them.
“The son-in-law is not in any serious trouble. I heard he explained the situation and has already left the prosecutor’s office. Rest assured, Old Master, with Old Mr. Ou around, and since the son-in-law hasn’t done anything significant, he shouldn’t be implicated!”
“I hope so. It’s a relief that Jiang Desheng didn’t drag him into this; otherwise, it would have been a huge trouble.”
Old Master Jiang rubbed his aching temples, casually resting his hands at his sides, with his eyes closed, leaning against the back of the sofa, giving off an utterly weary feeling.
From upstairs, Jiang Linyan, seeing Old Master Jiang seated on the sofa, realised for the first time that her grandfather, who seemed omnipotent, also had moments of helplessness; it appeared she needed to find a way to do something as well.
In the afternoon, lying in bed and resting, Wen Xin frowned as she observed the scars on Mu Chengxi’s body, a hint of indescribable restlessness emerging between her brows.
“This injury will probably leave scars on your body. My Scar Soothing Gel is more useful for superficial wounds, but yours is too deep and has already left scars even in the places it has healed.”
“I have already made an appointment with a plastic surgeon. Once I am able to move freely, I will go to the hospital and get it sorted out. I know you demand perfection, and rest assured, I won’t let you feel uncomfortable looking at it!”
Having seen his own scars, Mu Chengxi had already arranged laser scar removal, knowing that Wen Xin was a perfectionist and would naturally not allow her to feel discomfort looking at him.
Wen Xin, propping her head with one hand, lay on her side next to Mu Chengxi, her fingers pinching the waistband of Mu Chengxi’s pajamas and gently tugging at it.
“I didn’t expect you to be so diligent in pleasing the enchantingly beautiful one. It seems you deserve a nice reward.”
While speaking, Wen Xin moved closer to Mu Chengxi, gently kissing him on the lips and then planning to flee.
But Wen Xin was a step too slow. Before she could escape to a safe area, she was caught by the wrist and pulled into Mu Chengxi’s arms.
Mu Chengxi wrapped his arms around Wen Xin’s slender waist, resting his head on her collarbone, his eyes half-closed as he gazed at the scenery
inside.
Wen Xin seemed to notice that Mu Chengxi’s breathing had become somewhat erratic, and she gently nudged his shoulder with her elbow, her breathing slightly flustered.
“That… um… you’re not well, don’t mess around…”
“I’m in very good shape, you’ll know if you try…”
Without giving Wen Xin any chance to negotiate, Mu Chengxi directly kissed her seductive, delicate lips…
