Chapter 498: Don’t Want to Admit Knowing Him
The moment Zhao Yuyao saw Wen Xin, he couldn’t hold back his tears anymore. He sat down next to Wen Xin, hugging her long, slender legs and sobbing uncontrollably.
Mu Chengxi, who was in the middle of a discussion, came out when he heard the noise. He walked over to Yuyao and kicked him angrily.
“How embarrassing. Stop crying and get up!”
Yuyao, who was crying vigorously, cried even harder after being kicked by Mu Chengxi.
“None of you care about me, I’m almost dying here, Mayer even warned me not to disgrace you all. Wuu wuu… I’m so miserable…”
Yuyao’s cries were heart-wrenching. Wen Xin, somewhat impatient, raised her hand and splashed the water she was about to use for brushing her teeth right onto Yuyao’s face.
“Why have you become so whiny? How embarrassing!”
The water instantly woke Yuyao up. He timidly withdrew his hands from around Wen Xin’s legs, his face showing an air of aggrieved restraint.
“Little Aunt, I…”
“You did great. I thought you wouldn’t last ten days, but you’ve been here for over a month now, that’s quite impressive!”
Wen Xin looked at Yuyao’s aggrieved expression, sighed helplessly, and gently patted his shoulder, praising him.
Hearing Wen Xin’s affirmation and praise, Yuyao’s emotions stabilized. He wiped the water off his face and gave Wen Xin a silly, grateful smile.
“Thank you for your praise, Little Aunt. With your encouragement, I’ll train even harder. I heard that Wen Huai alone took down eight instructors yesterday. When will I be that good?”
Yuyao was excited all night after hearing about Wen Huai. He always knew Wen Huai was capable, but he never imagined he could be that good.
“You come here every summer break; you’ll be that good very soon.” Mu Chengxi handed Wen Xin a cup of mouthwash and casually responded to Yuyao.
Yuyao glanced at Mu Chengxi and shrugged helplessly, “I heard you’re taking Wen Huai back. What about me? Do I continue to train here?”
“No need, we’ll go back together. My aunt has been calling me these past few days, asking when you can return. Your grandmother’s birthday is coming up; she hopes you can be home for her birthday.”
Mu Chengxi had received a call from Zhao Yuyao’s mother earlier that morning, hoping he could return home before Old Madam Zhao’s birthday.
Hearing he should return to Ice City for Old Madam Zhao’s birthday, Yuyao’s expression darkened, “I don’t really want to go back. I don’t know when, but my grandmother’s attitude toward me changed, and it’s been bothering me.”
Wen Xin, who had just come back from brushing her teeth, heard Yuyao’s words. She walked over to him with a nonchalant tone, “It might be since I arranged for you to become the Zhao family heir.”
Yuyao was hearing about the heir situation for the first time, and he looked at Wen Xin in shock, “What heir? Isn’t Zhao Yuzheng the heir? How did it become me?”
“It’s you! About the time I applied for independent enrollment. I didn’t want to deal with the Zhao family anymore, but your grandmother pleaded with me, so I turned around and promised your grandmother that as long as you are the future heir of the Zhao family, I would leave a way out for the Zhao family. Otherwise, there would be no way.”
Wen Xin spoke in a calm tone, and Yuyao was shocked, his eyes wide open. He couldn’t believe he suddenly had such a huge responsibility thrust upon him.
“That… Little Aunt, I’m not cut out for this, are you joking?”
Yuyao’s speech stuttered involuntarily. How could he be suitable for this role? He had always been free-spirited and lax, not the type for such responsibilities.
“A year ago, if someone had told you that you could get into Beijing Financial University, would you have believed it? This is the result of hard work. Just try your best with what comes next. Nothing is impossible.”
Wen Xin reassuringly patted Yuyao on the shoulder. That was all she could do for him. As for the future, it was up to Yuyao to make his own way; she could no longer intervene.
“You should change your clothes and come join us for breakfast.”
Wen Xin turned and walked into the tent. Mu Chengxi glanced at Yuyao, who was still standing there, and reminded him calmly before following Wen Xin.
At breakfast, Mayer burst in excitedly with his phone in his hand, sitting opposite Wen Xin.
“Miss Wen, Institute 26 called, they’ve agreed to sell us a batch of weapons. It might take some time, but I can wait. Thank you, Miss Wen…”
Wen Xin looked up at Mayer’s excited face, then glanced at Mu Chengxi, “I haven’t contacted Institute 26, you don’t need to thank me for this!”
Wen Xin wouldn’t admit that she was behind it. She did not want to shoot herself in the foot.
“If not you, then who? I discussed this with you and the boss just yesterday; no one else knew.”
Mayer then turned his gaze to Mu Chengxi, who chuckled lightly, “Although I know people in Institute 26, I don’t have that much influence. It wasn’t me!”
“Never mind, whoever it was, let’s just say a snail maiden helped me. I’m truly grateful to her.”
“By the way, Master Xi, Miss Wen, the assessment results are out. The last one found was Katol, but the top scorer was Young Master Wen. Master Xi, should we keep Young Master Wen in M Organization?”
Mayer’s eyes sparkled with the prospect, as if retaining Wen Huai was a champagne-worthy celebration.
“What are you dreaming about? Just focus on training your people. Don’t think about Wen Huai; he will never be part of M Organization.”
Mu Chengxi looked at Mayer’s hopeful face and coldly smiled, advising him that some dreams are better not dreamt.
Mayer’s newly woven dream was mercilessly shattered by Mu Chengxi, her excitement completely vanishing, “Alright, but if Young Master Wen someday…”
“Don’t think too much. The future won’t involve M Organization.” Mu Chengxi left it unsaid that Wen Huai would be a ambassador of Independent State; he couldn’t possibly join M Organization.
After breakfast, Mu Chengxi and Mayer went to handle matters for M Organization, while Wen Xin lazily sat in the tent, applying medicine to Wen Huai.
Wen Huai turned to look at Wen Xin, “Sister, are you going back to Independent State?”
