Chapter 997: Chapter 993: Recognizing Others, Recognizing Oneself, Utter Despair
Wen Xin looked at Wei Shisheng’s expression and suddenly felt it was pointless, there was no comparability with such a person.
“Should I send you back to the ng Clan, or should I send you back to your real family?” Wen Xin suddenly laughed as she said this, she raised an eyebrow at Wei Shisheng, “Oh, that’s right, I forgot, your real family has never acknowledged your existence, have they? Really, I am so sorry.”
As Wen Xin’s words ended, a crisp sound ca from the living room. Wen Xin looked at the cotton swab in Wei Shisheng’s hand and smiled faintly. It seed that she was not very cunning after all, just a few simple words and she couldn’t bear to listen.
“Forget it, I don’t have ti to deal with your affairs now, Moore, see the guest out, send Miss Wei away from my estate.”
While speaking, Wen Xin reminded Wei Shisheng that this estate was her own, to make her understand her place.
Just as Moore was about to lead Wei Shisheng out by the arm, Ou Shen Zhi, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly ca to his senses. He looked at Wen Xin, his face filled with helplessness as he spoke.
“That… Wen… Wen Xin, could you let Wei Shisheng off… She…”
When Wen Xin heard Ou Shen Zhi speaking, she turned her head to look at him with a smile and softly laughed.
“Ou Shen Zhi, I brought you out from the gates of hell. Do you think you have any right to speak? I was willing to save you because Old Mr. Ou has been kind to . I just repaid a favor, and my only responsibility is to ensure you live and get back to Beijing, nothing else has anything to do with .”
After saying that, Wen Xin took a thin needle out of her pocket and threw it directly at Ou Shen Zhi. He originally wanted to say sothing, but before he could open his mouth, the next second he fainted on the couch, completely unable to move.
Watching this scene, Wei Shisheng was even more desolate. She had seen everything that Wen Xin did, and she now understood why Jiang Linyan could not surpass her.
“You have such a noble identity, and such impressive skills, why? Why do you still play the fool? To see us one by one beco your defeated opponents, does that give you a sense of achievent? Are you really pleased with yourself this way?”
Wen Xin sat on the couch, took the cup of hot cocoa passed to her by Mu Dong, and after sipping it, she slowly looked up at Wei Shisheng. Her lips curved into a brilliant smile, making her look stunningly beautiful.
“In your eyes, I am whatever you imagine to be. You all think I should be a country bumpkin who ca from the countryside, never willing to acknowledge that I might have a noble identity.”
“And later, even after I disclosed my identity, in your eyes, you remained steadfast in your perception, still believing that I should be a country bumpkin, clueless and unworthy of Mu Chengxi!”
As Wen Xin spoke, she put the cup to her lips again, took a sip, and then placed the teacup on the table.
“Wei Shisheng, actually, my background is not what’s important, what’s important is that you want too much…”
Wen Xin looked at Wei Shisheng’s indignant appearance, and sneered contemptuously, “I can tell you a way to have a chance at trampling underfoot, get your family to acknowledge you and nominate you for the Chosen One challenge. If you beco the Chosen One, I will hand over all power and position to you.”
“Then you can see if you can step on !”
Having finished speaking, Wen Xin waved her hand, signaling Moore that he could leave now. There was no need to keep her here any longer. Looking at her, rembering the things she had done, filled Wen Xin with disgust.
Moore led Wei Shisheng out of the living room, and everyone’s gaze fell on Ou Shen Zhi, who was lying on the couch.
“Miss Wen… What should we do about the Second Young Master Ou…”
Wen Xin glanced at Mu Dong and gave a light snort. Speaking in a gentle tone to Qian ng, who was standing nearby, she said, “Have Qian ng escort Ou Shen Zhi back, and there’s no need for him to return. Take extra care of Beijing, especially the Mu family and the Zhuge family… If there are any mishaps, you will be held accountable.”
After Wen Xin spoke these stern words, she lifted her head to look at Qian ng, who appeared sowhat incredulous. He had never expected Wen Xin to send him back to Beijing… It had been a rare opportunity for him to see the world, and now to be sent back—this indeed dampened his spirits.
“I…”
“You don’t have the opportunity to refuse. You must protect Beijing for . Once peace is restored to Independent State, I can arrange a position for you there to fulfill your daydream of a tranquil life in Independent State!”
Wen Xin said this with a smile while looking at Qian ng. She didn’t know when it happened, but she found Qian ng’s aggrieved expression sowhat adorable.
“Alright, get your stuff together and organize soone to take you to the airport. I’m entrusting the affairs of Beijing to you. Guard the city well, and if you’re overburdened, seek out Yuan Junye.”
After finishing her instructions, Wen Xin stood up from the couch and, taking Mu Chengxi’s hand, left from the side hall’s living room.
After the two masters had departed, Mu Dong approached Qian ng and lightly patted his shoulder with a sympathetic look.
“If Miss Wen tells you to go back, then just go back. Rest assured, I will fulfill my duty to protect Miss Wen and Master Xi. You don’t have to worry about things here.”
Qian ng, disturbed by Mu Dong’s scheming expression, forcefully shrugged off the hand Mu Dong had laid on his shoulder, speaking with so displeasure, “Hmph, lend a hand and get Ou Shen Zhi’s clothes in order, then find a flatbed cart to get him out. As long as I can bring him back to Beijing safely, my mission will be complete!”
Qian ng urged Mu Dong to hurry and help, fearing that if they took too long, Ou Shen Zhi would wake up, complicating matters.
Mu Dong didn’t make any excuses and quickly stepped forward to assist. Together with the other mbers of the estate, they loaded the unconscious Ou Shen Zhi into the car, and then they departed in the vehicle together.
As the car drove out of the estate, Qian ng sent a ssage to Wen Xin.
“We’re on our way. Beijing awaits you…”
Wen Xin sat in the car, reading the ssage from Qian ng, and couldn’t help but comnt on how quick they were in their actions.
Wen Xin didn’t reply to Qian ng’s ssage, instead she simply slipped her phone back into her pocket and turned to Mu Chengxi. “Let’s have hotpot for dinner tonight…”
“Sure, I’ll have the butler prepare the ingredients…”
“No need, I actually would like to go out and take a stroll. I haven’t had the chance to explore Independent State since I arrived. I want to take this opportunity to properly understand the local customs of Independent State.”
Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin with adoring amusent and nodded, “Of course, as long as you wish, I’ll take you anywhere you want to go.”
“Then let’s go change clothes. We’re going out for hotpot today.”
Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin ascend the stairs with a doting gaze, his eyes tender and warm, showing a concern that seed to yearn through the autumn waters.
