Chapter 813: Chapter 812: How Can You Say Such Things with a Straight Face?
After everyone had left, Housekeeper Jiang immediately brought over a chair for Old Master Jiang to sit down.
Once Old Master Jiang sat down, his dim eyes stared intensely at Luo Qiete, filled with hatred, “Mr. Luo Qiete, what exactly do you want to do, and who asked you to ruin my banquet?”
“No one, it was just me not being able to tolerate being played by you all, that’s all. Now that the banquet is over, I should be going!”
As he spoke, Luo Qiete turned and walked towards the exit, but halfway through, he turned back around, “Oh, I forgot one thing—forgot to wish you a happy birthday, Old Master Jiang, may you live a long life. You really need to stay alive to see how the Jiang family meets their end~”
“Hahahaha…”
“Master, Master…”
The moment Luo Qiete left the banquet, Old Master Jiang couldn’t hold it in any longer and passed out…
Sitting in the car, Wen Xin looked down at the message on her phone sent by Chu Yunxuan, “How is it? I don’t know if you like the gift I sent…”
Wen Xin stared at her phone for a while, then sighed helplessly and dialed Chu Yunxuan’s number. The call was quickly connected.
“Young girl, do you like the gift I sent you?” Chu Yunxuan’s voice was excitedly as he spoke, believing he had done something quite impressive by disrupting tonight’s dinner.
“Was Luo Qiete your doing?” Wen Xin’s tone was slightly cold, clearly unhappy.
“Yes, Luo Qiete recently wanted to partner with M State, so I had him help me out a bit as part of the deal. How about that, isn’t it cool?”
Chu Yunxuan thought he had done something particularly impressive, especially since the result was positive.
Just five minutes ago, he had heard that Old Master Jiang had fainted from the shock and that the situation was not very optimistic.
Listening to Chu Yunxuan’s excited words, Wen Xin coldly snorted, “Do you know how chaotic Beijing is right now? You still dare to bring Luo Qiete to Beijing? Aren’t you afraid you can’t control the situation?”
Wen Xin’s tone was not very pleased, slightly impatient, since she really did not want to make the power dynamics in Beijing even more complicated.
Chu Yunxuan had never considered that her actions could cause trouble for Wen Xin, and she coughed awkwardly, “Ahem, I really forgot about that, but don’t worry, Luo Qiete probably won’t cause you any trouble; everything should be under control.”
By now, Chu Yunxuan had completely calmed down, and her tone became much steadier, “Don’t worry, I can totally handle the rest of the matter clearly.”
Wen Xin did not want to blame Chu Yunxuan for anything, but merely responded lightly, “Send away the disaster you invited here and tell him to not get involved in matters of Beijing.”
Wen Xin hung up the phone, leaning tiredly against Mu Chengxi, “Did you hear? Old Master Jiang has been taken to the hospital again.”
“Yes, I heard, Ou Jinzhi sent me a message saying Old Master Jiang’s condition is not very good.”
Mu Chengxi pulled a blanket over Wen Xin’s body from the side, his tone gentle, unable to discern any emotion.
“Luo Qiete appearing at the banquet today was Chu Yunxuan’s doing; I didn’t expect she’d actually bring Luo Qiete here. I’m just worried that it’s easy to invite a deity but difficult to send one away.”
Wen Xin felt a headache coming on at that moment. She noticed a spark in Luo Qiete’s eyes when he mentioned the Kunshan Group, which made her worry that Luo Qiete might impulsively take an interest in the “Beijing pie” and want a slice of it too, complicating matters.
“What’s there to fear? I’ve told you, you just need to trust me, and there’s no need to worry about anything else.”
Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin with affection, as she appeared exhausted. His beloved only needed to lie peacefully in his arms; there was absolutely no need for her to worry about anything else, as she would handle everything well.
The next morning, in the hospital corridor, Jiang Linyan was still dressed in yesterday’s gown with a black coat over it, her face cold as she stared at Ou Jinzhi sitting on a bench.
“You’re close to Mu Chengxi, could you please ask him to let Wen Xin come and treat grandfather? You know grandfather can’t wait.”
Upon hearing Jiang Linyan speaking to him, Ou Jinzhi slowly lifted his head and half-squinted his eyes at Jiang Linyan.
“I don’t know how you could say that, considering all you’ve done against Wen Xin. Do you think Wen Xin could possibly forget the past grudges and help you? Aren’t you being too naive?”
“I’ve already brought in the best neurologist. If you really want grandfather to recover quickly, you should perhaps plead with your partner from Independent State, whose medical arts are said to be quite effective!”
After saying this, Ou Jinzhi stood up and walked towards the exit without giving Jiang Linyan another glance. He had not expected her to utter such shameless words at this time.
Watching Ou Jinzhi walk away, Jiang Linyan clenched her hands at her sides so tightly that her nails broke in her palms without her realizing.
At that moment, Xiao Ci came out of the elevator carrying breakfast, walked up to Jiang Linyan, placed the breakfast beside her, and started speaking in a calm voice.
“Young Master Wen said that the Jiang family still has its uses to him. He’ll cover up your matter, and he’ll also arrange for doctors from Independent State for Old Master Jiang’s condition. What you need to do now is to wrap things up, give you another week’s time. If you don’t want to become a cast-off, act faster.”
After speaking, Xiao Ci turned around and walked away without looking back, leaving Jiang Linyan sitting alone outside the ward, her eyes now filled with murderous intent.
Three days later, Wen Xin left the school and got into Chu Yunxuan’s car. Today, Wen Xin looked much better and less tired than before.
Chu Yunxuan observed Wen Xin’s complexion, her eyebrows slightly raised. “You look much better than the last two days, and even a bit fuller.”
After replying to a message from Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin lifted her head to look at Chu Yunxuan and smiled lightly, her mood apparently good.
“Right, my body and condition have greatly improved recently. Let’s go to Yuan Junye’s company; I want to tweak the software for the second generation acupuncture robot.”
Seeing Wen Xin in a good mood today, Chu Yunxuan carefully observed her, her tone gentle and pleasing.
“Wen… little sister, I… have a favor to ask of you…”
Listening to Chu Yunxuan stammer, Wen Xin had a bad feeling. She turned her head to look at Chu Yunxuan, her eyes slightly lifting at the corners.
“Don’t tell me you haven’t sent Luo Qiete away yet? Didn’t you say you could definitely handle this?”
Looking at Chu Yunxuan’s expression, Wen Xin could tell without guessing why she was acting this way; she was really about to be driven mad by her.
