A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

“Pretend for a few more days, although not many people know about your injury, suddenly walking home might still be a bit inadvisable. Give them some time to adapt.”

The people Wen Xin referred to were the Mu family. She didn’t want to raise suspicions about the reason for Mu Chengxi’s quick recovery; some things really were not so convenient to explain.

Mu Chengxi was always compliant with Wen Xin’s suggestions. Whatever she asked of him, he would cooperate fully. He turned around, sat down in the wheelchair, and looked up to give Wen Xin a gentle smile.

“It seems I will have to trouble my girlfriend to take care of me a bit more.”

Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi’s handsome, upturned face, lowered her head to gently kiss his forehead, and then pushed him out of the examination room.

The waiting Mu Chengxu and Mu Bei saw that the cast on Mu Chengxi’s leg had been removed, yet he was still sitting in the wheelchair. Mu Chengxu looked at Mu Chengxi with concern.

“How is he? Isn’t it a bit too soon to remove the cast?”

“His recovery has been quite good, the bones have already healed, he just needs to take it slow from here. There’s nothing to worry about now, we can go home.”

Wen Xin, pushing Mu Chengxi, answered Mu Chengxu’s question in a soothing tone, which sounded very relaxed and reassuring.

“That’s good then. I’ll go help pack up some things; Mu Bei, you go handle the discharge procedures. You guys wait in the ward for a bit; once everything’s ready, we can head off.”

Mu Chengxu, hearing that Mu Chengxi had recovered, seemed a bit excited. The thought of Mu Chengxi coming home with injuries had really scared the Mu family, but fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

When all the procedures were settled, Wen Xin pushed Mu Chengxi out of the hospital’s main entrance, where a woman followed by several men who didn’t look like ordinary people hurriedly entered the hospital lobby.

When they saw Mu Chengxi, the group was momentarily stunned, but each of them respectfully nodded at Mu Chengxi.

Seated in the wheelchair in a laid-back manner, Mu Chengxi merely gave a faint nod in return, and the two groups passed each other by.

Having left the hospital and gotten into the car, Mu Chengxu, from the passenger seat, turned around to face Mu Chengxi.

“Those people who just greeted you, if I’m not mistaken, seemed to be from a side branch of the Jiang family. The noblewoman leading them—who is she?”

“I think she’s Jiang Linyan’s mother.” Mu Chengxi, lounging back in the seat, had one arm around Wen Xin, pulling her close to him.

“Jiang Linyan’s mother? What’s she doing in the hospital?” Mu Chengxu asked, looking puzzled after hearing Mu Chengxi’s explanation.

“Jiang Linyan has been hospitalized here; after she was sent back to the Jiang family, they had her admitted to this hospital. There’s nothing strange about that.”

Wen Xin was already processing the discharge papers for Mu Chengxi when she heard that Jiang Linyan had been brought to the hospital. She even glanced at the examination results and could tell that Chu Yunxuan had used full force in her slap.

“So that’s how it is, Linyan’s mother also seems to have a powerful presence, not someone who can’t handle herself. I wonder why Old Master Jiang always only allows Jiang Linyan to attend various social gatherings and never lets Linyan’s mother appear at any major high society events.”

At this time, Mu Chengxu was still thinking about Jiang Linyan’s mother. Mu Chengxi, disapprovingly glancing at him, closed his eyes and had no mood to discuss the matter. The affairs of the Jiang family had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Mu Chengxi had closed his eyes, Wen Xin leaned against Mu Chengxi while playing with her phone. Mu Chengxu also felt somewhat bored as he touched his nose, turned around, sat down in the co-driver’s seat, and stopped talking.

Mu Bei drove the car very smoothly; along the way, there were sounds of victory and defeat coming from where Wen Xin was playing games, and Mu Chengxi simply kept his head down, silently watching Wen Xin play.

Through the rearview mirror, Mu Chengxu looked at the two, leaning harmoniously together, and felt an inexplicable sense of loneliness. For a moment, an image flashed through her mind…

The car stopped outside the Mu family’s old mansion. Mu Bei and Mu Chengxu helped Mu Chengxi out of the car, while Wen Xin pushed the wheelchair, lazily standing by, waiting for Mu Chengxi to be assisted out.

Seeing Mu Chengxi being assisted out with his legs weak, Wen Xin unconsciously raised an eyebrow, her lips slightly curling into a faint smile.

It seemed Mu Chengxi’s acting was still pretty good. She would have to be cautious in the future to avoid being deceived unwarily.

As Wen Xin pushed Mu Chengxi through the front gate of the Mu family’s old mansion into the courtyard, they heard intermittent crying from inside.

As expected by Mu Chengxu, who walked over to Wen Xin’s side and gently patted her shoulder, “You go ahead with Chengxi back to your courtyard. Don’t come out if anything happens. Grandma can handle it on her own.”

“No wonder there were gifts being sent the other day and pleas for reconciliation. They were waiting here for Mu Chengxi!”

Wen Xin suddenly let out a soft laugh. He had always felt that the family of Second Master Mu was too enthusiastic, having seen the expensive gifts they sent to Mu Chengxi.

Mu Chengxi had jokingly said that such people who are overly courteous for no reason are either scheming or thieving, and it was not good. Now, it appeared that they were indeed waiting here for them.

“It’s inevitable and must be faced; let’s all go and see.”

Without any hesitation, Wen Xin pushed Mu Chengxi directly towards Old Madam Mu’s courtyard.

Mu Bei and the butler had returned from the hospital with some belongings and exchanged glances, deciding to steer clear of any trouble and turned towards Mu Chengxi’s courtyard.

Just as Wen Xin pushed Mu Chengxi into Old Madam’s courtyard, they heard a woman wailing in a manner that instinctively caused headaches.

Considering Old Madam Mu’s health condition, Wen Xin subconsciously quickened her pace pushing Mu Chengxi’s wheelchair.

As they entered the front hall of Old Madam Mu’s courtyard, they saw Old Madam Mu propping her arm on the table, holding her head in her hand, her face pale and giving off a very uncomfortable feeling.

Seeing Old Madam Mu’s condition, Wen Xin couldn’t care less about Mu Chengxi. She dropped Mu Chengxi’s wheelchair and, pulling her backpack from within Mu Chengxi’s hold, ran into the hallway.
