Chapter 775 - 774 I believe… she can
There were many people coming and going outside the gates of Jingda University. The sight of two beautiful girls alighting from the car simultaneously made many unconsciously stop in their tracks to look in their direction.
“Wow, the two Freshman Kings of Jingda are back…”
“It’s been a while since we’ve been dominated by the Freshman King. Suddenly, it feels a bit unfamiliar. Now that the Freshman King is back, it’s really great!”
“Isn’t this just perfect? I heard that Jingda is participating in an international physics competition this year, and we really needed our Freshman King to return. Their comeback is just fantastic!”
The crowd discussed Wen Xin and Wen Huai, each adding their own comments, but the two of them seemed not to hear what was being said. They headed straight into the campus with Xiao Mi in tow.
Entering the school, Wen Xin turned her head towards Wen Huai and spoke in a gentle tone, “First, go to the physics department to find Tang Ming. He has some matters regarding the physics competition to discuss with you. Call me after you’ve talked to him.”
“I’ll take Xiao Mi to find Zhuge Jingming; he’s already waiting for me at the medical school.”
“Alright, I’ll head to the physics department first.” Wen Huai had already been in touch with Ma Wenyuan on the way back and had heard about the physics competition. There were indeed some matters that required a face-to-face discussion with Tang Ming.
After saying so, Wen Huai picked up his backpack and walked straight towards the physics department.
“Alright, let’s go to the medical school.”
Wen Xin casually led Xiao Mi towards the medical school. Along the way, she suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look at Xiao Mi.
“Do you want to stay in the villa, or would you prefer to live on campus? If you want to live in the villa, someone will take care of your transportation every day. If you want to live on campus…”
“I want to live on campus. I know my foundation is weak, and I need to study hard to make up for it. Staying on campus is convenient; there’s the library, which will help me find the resources I need.”
When Xiao Mi decided to return with Wen Xin, she had resolved to study diligently, and she didn’t want to let down Wen Xin’s kindness towards her.
Yet on the trip back, when Wen Xin firmly stated her belief in her, Xiao Mi’s desire to study intensified. She knew she needed to put in a great deal of effort not to betray Wen Xin’s trust.
“Alright then, get along well with your classmates on campus. After you finish registering, I’ll take you shopping. You can tell me whatever you need. Later, I will go to the bank to make a bank card for you. It’s more convenient to use a local phone and bank card while you’re here.”
Wen Xin bowed her head, considering what Xiao Mi would need to live here.
She had never been able to take care of herself before. Everything was bought on a whim. Later, it was Mu Chengxi who looked after her, so much so that she forgot what a girl needed.
“Um… it’s not necessary. When I left F State, Muxi gave me a bank card and told me to buy what I needed myself. You don’t need to… prepare anything for me. I can go by myself later.”
When Wen Xin heard Xiao Mi mention Muxi, her beautiful eyes unconsciously narrowed slightly. This Muxi… If not for the fact that Xiao Mi had always been under his protection, this time, she wouldn’t have let him off easily.
Lying in the hospital bed, Muxi sneezed, lifting his uninjured hand to rub his somewhat itchy nose.
Chief Zhou, lying on another hospital bed, was awakened by Muxi’s sneeze. Propping up his injured body, he turned over to look at Muxi.
“Mr. Muxi, are you catching a cold? Do you need me to call the nursing staff to bring you an extra blanket?”
“No need, my nose just suddenly got itchy!” Muxi propped himself up with one hand, sitting up in bed. He looked at Chief Zhou lying on the hospital bed with new scars on his face and unconsciously frowned.
“Mu Dong’s quite heavy-handed, isn’t he? Such things would require consideration by anyone, this indeed seems rather harsh for you guys.”
Chief Zhou was someone Muxi had personally cultivated. He felt that Mu Dong laying hands on Chief Zhou was no different from doing it to him, and he felt uncomfortable about it in his heart.
Chief Zhou gave a bitter smile from the bed, with no resentment in his heart. If anything, he didn’t feel Mu Dong’s punishment was too severe; indeed, they had disrespected and been irreverent towards Miss Wen.
“Mr. Muxi, what Mr. Mu Dong did wasn’t wrong, it was our mistrust towards Miss Wen.”
At the mention of Wen Xin, Muxi also fell silent. The strength of Wen Xin was indeed terrifying, and he had been completely subdued by Wen Xin, unable to deny Chief Zhou’s words.
“Mr. Muxi, actually, Master Xi has already given us a lot of face. He didn’t punish us in front of Miss Wen, which was already an opportunity for us to redeem our dignity. So, please don’t blame Mr. Mu Dong for punishing us anymore.”
Chief Zhou had no spite concerning this matter, accepting the punishment willingly, as a reminder to himself that he had no right to disrespect his master.
The ones fit to be masters naturally have their capabilities and strength.
Chief Zhou’s words silenced Muxi, who didn’t know what to say. He lay back down on the bed and closed his eyes.
Standing outside the door, Mu Dong listened to the conversation between Chief Zhou and Muxi and gave a faint smile, feeling that Master Xi’s painstaking efforts had not been in vain.
At this time, Mu Chengxi sat in his office, looking at Mu Jingang, whose face was looking terrible. He held a cigarette in his hand with a rather nonchalant attitude.
“Mu Chengxi, even though you are the head of the Mu family, not everything can be decided by you alone! I don’t agree with this project, and I believe others won’t agree either!”
Mu Jingang angrily smashed the water cup in his hand onto Mu Chengxi’s desk. He had found his backing now, and his aim was to foil Mu Chengxi’s plans.
Looking at Mu Jingang with his white hair, Mu Chengxi’s deep eyes narrowed slightly.
“Uncle has been quite busy lately, hasn’t he? Otherwise, why haven’t you had the time to take proper care of that head of white hair?”
Mu Chengxi took a puff of his cigarette and shifted his position in his chair, still looking as unconcerned as before.
“Since I am the head of the Mu family, I have the right to decide all the affairs of the Mu family. I can also give uncle a chance. Starting today, you can go canvass for votes. If, after half a month, the stock support rate in your hands reaches fifty percent, I’ll step down, and from then on, the Mu Group will be under your control.”
“But if you can’t manage it, don’t blame me for not showing mercy. Those things you’ve done, we can also settle them properly, after all, one can’t simply take from the Mu family while having their heart with someone else, right?”
