A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 662: Chapter 661: Brother Meng, Are You Still Drunk?

Standing beside Qian Meng, Qian Shan watched the changes in Qian Meng’s expression with some nervousness. He didn’t know what kind of shock Qian Meng had received to make him so tense one moment, laughing the next, and then suddenly wearing a troubled frown—it was a bit frightening.

“Brother Meng, what’s going on with you? Are you still not sober from the wine you drank last night? Do you want me to send someone to bring you some sobering medicine?”

“Just get lost! Go find out where Mu Chengxi is right now. I want to meet with him.”

Qian Meng had decided that no matter what, it was most important to get on good terms with Mu Chengxi first. If Wen Xin’s identity was true, then it was very likely that Mu Chengxi would be his future master. This feeling was a bit uncomfortable…

“Brother Meng, don’t just do whatever comes to mind. I’ve heard that Mu Chengxi’s health hasn’t been good recently, but there’s no need to take action against Mu Chengxi so hurriedly, right?”

“And besides, the Mu family seems to be having a family banquet these next two days, even if Mu Chengxi is…”

When Qian Meng heard Qian Shan suggest that he was planning to take action against Mu Chengxi, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He hadn’t been able to do it before and couldn’t do it in the future either. Was this kid wishing he’d die quicker, trying to speed up the process?

“Forget it, just shut up. Get out and let me have some peace. It’s really too annoying having you nattering in my ear.”

After sending Qian Shan away, Qian Meng hesitated for a long time before finally making a phone call. It took about ten seconds before someone picked up.

“What’s the matter?”

“Yes, there is something. Please tell the head of the Mu family that it seems we’ve found the little princess of the Wen family. Also, ask whether we should take the initiative to protect Princess Wen or pretend not to recognize her, keeping our distance and not revealing our identity as an ancient martial arts family!”

The person on the other end of the line was also shocked to hear Qian Meng’s words, as the little princess who had gone missing for fifteen years had unexpectedly reappeared. This news was undoubtedly tremendous.

“The information provided by Young Master Meng is truly excellent. I’ll go right now to convey this to the head of the Mu family. Once I have a reply, I will contact Young Master Meng immediately.”

While the person on the phone was eager to share the good news with their head of the family, the last bit of reason he had made him pause and warn Qian Meng.

“Before we receive an order from the head of the family, I think you should keep a certain distance from the princess. The Qian family has a special status and has stayed hidden without any issues for many years. Don’t act rashly because of this and ruin all our efforts.”

“You can rest assured on that. If I didn’t have self-control, I may have already gone directly to Miss Wen.”

Qian Meng had felt the impulse to stand rightfully by Wen Xin’s side—although he couldn’t say it was something he had always looked forward to, it was indeed something he had once longed for. It was just that he couldn’t afford to offend Mu Chengxi.

After hanging up the phone, Qian Meng stood up, walked to his desk, and pulled out an old photograph from the drawer.

The photo showed two children: a boy about six or seven years old, and beside him, a little girl dressed in a princess dress, looking much like a doll.

The little girl was looking down with a very reluctant expression, but the boy had a radiant smile. It was because on that day, he had become the princess’s knight.

Qian Meng stared at the photo, lost in thought. He really hoped this wasn’t all a dream, hoped that Wen Xin was indeed the little princess who had been separated from them for so many years…

The Mu family’s residence was bustling early in the morning. Today was the Mu family’s banquet. Although Old Madam Mu had announced she would no longer handle the family’s affairs, the first thing the Mu family members habitually did when they arrived was to pay their respects to Old Madam Mu.

Today, the turnout of the Mu family was very comprehensive. Except for Second Master Mu, who had been taken away, nearly every member was present, as no one wanted to miss the once-a-year grand feast of the Mu family.

Wen Xin stood on a viewing platform on the second floor of Mu Chengxi’s courtyard, watching the busy crowd below, and she remembered the first time she had come to the Mu family’s residence.

Mu Chengxu sat behind Wen Xin, holding a fork and elegantly eating a slice of watermelon, then gently tugged on the hem of Wen Xin’s dress.

“You look rather serious. What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing much. It’s just that I find the adults in a big family somewhat hypocritical. Barely a year ago, they didn’t have this attitude towards Mu Chengxi, and now their servile manner is really a bit hard to watch.”

Wen Xin still remembered the disdain and condescension in the eyes of those people when Mu Chengxi first brought her into the old house, and even more so, the fear.

But now, everyone had changed; their gazes were either flattering or pleasing, all hoping to be noticed by Mu Chengxi, to gain some favor from him.

Mu Chengxu looked at Wen Xin’s silhouette, listening to her words, stood up, walked beside her, and looked at the view downstairs following her gaze.

“Those people are just opportunists, siding with whoever holds power. See that woman in the evening gown, with a man by her side? She’s from a side branch of the Mu family’s third house and married into the Di Wu family to climb up the social ladder.”

“Now, she is still favored within the Di Wu family, all because of grandmother’s appreciation for her intelligence and insight. Grandmother specifically instructed the Di Wu family to treat her well.”

Following the direction pointed out by Mu Chengxu, Wen Xin looked over and saw a familiar figure, momentarily taken aback. She didn’t expect to encounter a university classmate at the Mu family’s home, which was quite interesting.

“Grandmother is from the Di Wu family?” Wen Xin turned away from Qi Qian, a light smile playing on her lips, looking quite pleased.

“Yes, grandmother is a concubine-born daughter from a side branch of the Di Wu family. When she married grandfather, she was the envy of many. At that time, grandfather was not only extremely handsome but also held a status in Beijing that not many young masters could compare with. Yet, it was grandmother that grandfather doted on.”

“Later, grandmother proved with her abilities that grandfather hadn’t made the wrong choice. From that day on, grandmother’s status within the Di Wu family has been rising, and now even uncle and uncle’s family dare not say that they are just a side branch,” said Chengxu.

When Mu Chengxu spoke of Old Madam Mu, his eyes were filled with admiration. His grandmother was someone he had always looked up to, someone he aspired to become.

Wen Xin saw the light in Mu Chengxu’s eyes, could imagine the respect he had for Old Madam Mu, and she softly smiled, nodding in agreement.

“You’re right. Grandmother is truly a legendary figure, and I admire her vision. The people grandmother favors must really be exceptional,” she said.

Wen Xin’s words were unclear, but in her heart, she secretly thought that to have instilled such upright values in Qi Qian, her mother must also be a person with strong moral principles.
