Chapter 648: Chapter 647: I Donât Know What Politeness Is Anymore
âYour attitude is truly frightening, miss. Youâre better off being fierce. Otherwise, I might start to think Iâve done something wrongâŠâ
âIf itâs nothing, Iâm hanging up!â
Wen Xinâs demeanor suddenly cooled, and without waiting for Ma Wenyuan to say anything more, she hung up the call.
Looking at his disconnected call, Ma Wenyuan let out a long sigh. He felt that this was more like it, his missus should indeed have this sort of untouchable and tsundere aura.
After ending Ma Wenyuanâs call, Wen Xinâs phone rang again. It was Nan Xu.

Right when she answered, she heard Nan Xuâs breathless voice, âWen Xin, Iâve just gotten off the plane. Iâm on my way to the outside of the airport, Chen Yian is waiting for me. It might take some time before I can get to the lab, so donât worry. How is Mu Chengxi doing now?â
âHeâs alright now. As for the blood sample, Iâll need your help to analyze it. Donât rush too much, just a set of data will do!â
Wen Xinâs words left Nan Xu quite puzzled, and she unconsciously slowed her pace.
She didnât know what had happened in the past few hours, but what interested her more was how Mu Chengxi had recovered.
âWhatâs going on? Did you find a way to treat him? His sudden fever is very abnormal. How did you handle it?â
âIâll explain everything to you when you come back. Itâs not very convenient to talk about it over the phone.â Wen Xin didnât want to avoid explaining to Nan Xu, but the situation was too complex to clarify in a sentence or two. She would explain it to her slowly once she returned.
âAlright, Iâve just spotted Chen Yian. Iâm heading back to the lab now. Iâll call you once I have the data.â
Before Wen Xin could respond, Nan Xu hung up the call. Wen Xin casually tossed her phone aside, stretched lazily, and felt quite exhausted from the dayâs turmoil.
Mu Chengxi, lying on the bed, watched Wen Xinâs lazy demeanor, propped himself up with his arms, sat up from the bed, and embraced Wen Xin from behind.
âYouâve worked hard these past few days!â
Wen Xin turned in Mu Chengxiâs arms, draped her arms over his shoulders, and embraced him, âIâm indeed a bit tired, but Iâm relieved that youâre okay.â
Wen Xin quietly hugged Mu Chengxi, nuzzled against his shoulder for a while, and then let go of him. She went around to the other side, took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, cuddled up to Mu Chengxi, and snuggled into his arms.
âGet a good nightâs sleep tonight, and itâll be a new day tomorrow. GoodnightâŠâ
âGoodnight.â
Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin and contentedly closed his eyes. Holding Wen Xin, he felt as if he was embracing the whole world.
The next morning, as soon as Wen Xin got up from the bed, she searched for her randomly tossed phone and, indeed, there were many unread messages on it, including one from Sun Ning.
âI didnât want to disturb your rest because it was too late, so I sent a text message instead. The analysis of Mu Chengxiâs blood sample is out, and thereâs no trace of the virus left in his body. This means my injection was a complete success, and you can rest easy now!â
âThereâs one more thing, below is the list of equipment I need. Could you please provide it, little princess? And about the project fund we discussed yesterday, could you invest in it as well? Iâll contact you for other things when I need them!â
Wen Xin scrolled down the message and saw a list with various equipment, and at the end of it, a string of bank account numbers.
âIâm here, howâs everything going? Something came up at the company yesterday, and by the time I finished, it was too late, so I didnât come overâŠâ
Mu Chengxu pushed the door open in a hurry, muttering to himself as he entered.
The two people sitting on the bed looked at Mu Chengxu barging in and exchanged glances, both thinking at the same time, didnât they lock the door when they went to sleep?
Fortunately, they were just sleeping and hadnât done anything special; otherwise, it would have been embarrassing with someone walking in.
Mu Chengxu saw the two people sitting on the bed looking like they had just woken up. She lifted her wrist, glanced at her watch, and realized she might have come a bit early.
âSorry, I was in such a hurry I forgot to check the time. Iâve been busy all night, worried you two hadnât eaten, so I hurried over. Wen Xin, go wash up and get ready for breakfast.â
Under Mu Chengxuâs urging, Wen Xin got out of bed and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Seeing Wen Xin enter the bathroom, Mu Chengxu secretly pulled over a chair, sat down opposite Mu Chengxi, and started speaking in a hushed tone.
âDid you have something to do with the Jiang familyâs situation? Itâs all over the internet now, and our second uncle has been taken away by the prosecutors. Itâs said to be related to Jiang Deshengâs issues. This time, the Jiang family is in big troubleâŠâ
Mu Chengxu hadnât come back yesterday because of this incident. Although she didnât get involved in the Mu Family Companyâs affairs, her own company was somewhat affected. She had been dealing with this all of yesterday.
âSecond uncle got involved too? What about our eldest uncle?â Mu Chengxi was somewhat surprised by the news; he hadnât expected his second uncle to be involved with Jiang Desheng.
âEldest uncle? He didnât have any issues. I heard it was the second uncle who secretly collaborated with Jiang Desheng behind eldest uncleâs back. Initially, eldest uncle scolded him for being ungrateful, but later, he felt lucky that he hadnât been involved or he would be in trouble too.â
As Mu Chengxu talked about this event, she couldnât help but laugh; she couldnât believe these two frogs on the same string each had their own schemesâit was ridiculous.
âWhatâs the current situation with the Jiang family? Has Old Master Jiang not stepped in to deal with the matter?â
Because Mu Chengxi had been sick with a fever yesterday, he was completely out of the loop on external affairs and was very curious about how Old Master Jiang would handle this situation.
âNo, Iâve only heard that Old Master Jiang asked Jiang Linyan to bring Ou Jinzhi back to the Jiang family. You know that Ou Jinzhi has a strange personality and doesnât really fit in well with the people of BeijingâŠâ
âWhether he fits in or not isnât important. With Old Mr. Ou there, Ou Jinzhi wonât do anything to the Mu family. Besides, this wasnât my doing. Who knows who the Jiang family offended and someone wanted to take them down directly.â
Mu Chengxu couldnât believe her eyes when she heard it wasnât him who orchestrated the event, âIt wasnât you? Then why does everyone in Beijing think it was you? Someone released information linking the incident to youâŠâ freewÄbnoveâ.com
âLet them think what they want. Thereâs always someone trying to drag me down. Iâve come back with injuries, how could I have had the time to deal with their issues? You donât need to worry about this either. Whatever outsiders want to believe, let them. After this, the Mu familyâs position has just become more solid.â
