A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 506  The Future Daughter-in-Law Has a Strong Background

Although the two sides can't exactly be described as irreconcilable enemies, they don't really intersect much either. There's no overlap, and everyone generally gets along well in their respective circles.
Jiang Linyan is distinctly part of Mu Chengxi's circle, and Qian Meng seldom dares to provoke her.
"Miss Jiang, Mu Chengxi hasn't shown his face in the Beijing circles for a long time. Even Liang Luoyu and Gu Yanzhe don't know where he has gone, so there really isn't a clear circle anymore."
"But speaking of which, Miss Jiang, don't you know that Mu Chengxi already has a girlfriend? And she is quite impressive…"
Just as Qian Meng began to praise Wen Xin, Jiang Linyan's expression darkened, "If you say one more word about Wen Xin, I'm getting out of the car right now."
"Please, let's not get hasty! Miss Jiang, don't tell me you have special feelings for Mu Chengxi?"
As Qian Meng drove, he looked at Jiang Linyan in surprise. Everyone knew that Wei Shisheng loved Mu Chengxi hopelessly, but no one expected the proud Miss Jiang to have special feelings for Mu Chengxi too—Chengxi's charm is really enviable.
"Miss Jiang, look at me, I'm not worse compared to Mu Chengxi, right? Why don't you consider me? I…"
"Shut up, I don't want to hear you talk! Do you have any plans tonight? Take me out for drinks!"
Jiang Linyan, her emotions laid bare by Qian Meng, was in a foul mood and now just wanted to drink heavily.
"Alright, Miss Jiang wants to drink, and I'm with you all the way, even if it's a matter of life and death!"
Qian Meng suddenly floored the accelerator, heading towards the city center with Jiang Linyan in a hurry.
At dinner that evening, Mu Chengxi's parents and Mu Chengxu had all returned. They were surprised to learn that the young master Wen of Beijing was Wen Xin's brother.
They naturally thought of the two major laboratories behind Wen Huai and also understood why Wen Xin chose to major in physics.
"Wen Xin, you'll be reporting to Beijing University in just over ten days, right? I've already cleaned up a house for you and had it renovated. Here are the keys." Mu Chengxu sat next to Wen Xin and gently placed the keys in her palm, smiling warmly at her.
"I heard that freshmen at Beijing University are required to live on campus, right? Do I need to talk to Principal Lu about the dormitory arrangements?" Mu Jinyan thought about Wen Xin starting school soon and wanted to help her out. Suddenly, he thought of the dormitory issue, which he could easily handle.
"No need; the dean of the physics department is a family member, and everything is already arranged. I've spoken with him, and he said he would handle the remaining procedures." That afternoon, while chatting with Principal Lu, Mu Chengxi had learned about the arrangements for the new freshmen, including military training.
Concerned about Wen Xin's past injuries, though she had recovered, Mu Chengxi decided not to let her participate in the military training.
Just an hour ago, he called Tang Ming to discuss the military training and dormitory matters, and Tang Ming had agreed to take care of everything.
"Your family?" Mu Jinyan looked at Mu Chengxi in surprise. Since when was the dean of the physics department at Beijing University one of Mu Chengxi's people?
Mu Chengxi lounged next to Wen Xin, his arm casually resting on the back of the sofa behind her. "I'm not very close to him, but Wen Xin knows him well…"
Hearing Mu Chengxi mention how familiar Wen Xin and Tang Ming were, everyone understood the implication in his words.
Indeed, Wen Xin's background was extraordinary, and such matters were merely a word away for her.
"Right, that's good, Wen Xin. Feel free to talk to me about anything; don't be formal with me; we're all family here." Mu Jinyan tried to appear calm as he looked at Wen Xin, but after a while, he let out a sigh when nobody was paying attention.
Suddenly, the background of this future daughter-in-law seemed a bit overwhelming and somewhat troublesome.
Mu Chengxi, turning around casually, caught Mu Jinyan's expression and smiled wryly. He stood up from beside Wen Xin, felt for the cigarettes in his pocket, and walked out of the living room with his phone.
The summer night was humid and warm. Mu Chengxi's tall figure stood in the old house's corridor, with the faint scent of roses wafting through the air, refreshing and pleasant.
Wei Manqing returned from her own yard and saw Mu Chengxi smoking in the corridor. She observed his expression, which betrayed no emotion.
She approached Mu Chengxi, her voice soft and gentle, "Why are you smoking here again? I remember you said you wanted to quit before you left home."
"It's nothing, just felt like having a smoke today. What were you up to? You left in such a hurry." Chengxi asked casually. After dinner, he noticed that Wei Manqing had taken a call and rushed off.
"It was your grandfather; he called to say he's turning 80 soon and wanted me to ask if your aunt would be willing to come back. You know how your aunt is; nobody can persuade her. I went to call her, and even I got an earful." Wei Manqing sighed helplessly, not understanding why everyone was so stubborn. With their father getting so old, it really wasn't necessary.
"Why was my aunt driven out of Beijing in the first place?"
Mu Chengxi generally didn't want to meddle in the Wei family's affairs, but thinking about how much Wen Xin had done to pave the way for Zhao Yuyao, having the Wei family's support could potentially solidify his position even further.
"It's not really your grandfather's fault!"
Mu Chengxi's question made Wei Manqing sigh helplessly. The events of those years were complicated, and she didn't really want to bring them up.
"The Zhao family was already on the fringe of Beijing's elite, relying on the Liang family. Your grandfather isn't one to care about social status. Plus, he particularly liked Zhao Honghan, so he was very supportive of your aunt's marriage."
"But then a problem arose. The Zhao family's eldest son mysteriously died at the physics research institute, and the person who discovered the incident was your uncle…"
"At that time, your uncle was also a researcher at the physics research institute, holding a position similar to Zhao Hongzhong's, and there was a competitive relationship between the two."
"After this incident, there were a lot of rumors and speculations. Many believed Zhao Hongzhong's death was related to your uncle, and the Zhao family came knocking. After a huge fuss, our two families' relationship hit rock bottom."
