A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 824: Chapter 823 Wen Xin: After Mu Group is gone, follow Dad and let Dad take you to dominate and boss around
 

“Sometimes being too persistent only makes you lose more. Think about it, when was the last time the little princess spoke to you calmly and peacefully?”

“Don’t you miss those times?”

As he spoke, Moore placed the document he held back into his pocket, stood up straight, and gave Alfredo a respectful knight’s salute.

“Do you remember the scene when we welcomed the little princess? Although we can’t turn back time, the relationship still has a chance to be mended. Don’t stray further and further from your original intentions…”

After leaving Alfredo’s sickroom, Alfredo sat alone, deep in thought. An image of a little girl around five or six years old flashed through his mind.

“Why are you here? Why aren’t you going in to eat?” Alfredo walked up to the thin little girl, gently brushed the hair from her forehead, and asked softly.

“Go away, you’re all bad people. I don’t want to talk to you. You’d better stay away from me.”

The little girl’s bright eyes were filled with wariness, firmly fixed on Alfredo. Her body involuntarily wanted to move back.

She was like a little hedgehog with all her spikes raised in defense, only wanting to protect herself and not wanting to engage with anyone.

It was the first time Alfredo had seen such an interesting little girl. He crouched in front of her, took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, and placed it in front of her.

“Hello, I’m Alfredo. I can protect you and won’t bully you. Would you trust me?”

The little girl still looked at Alfredo with eyes full of wariness, but she didn’t refuse the chocolate he offered. She clutched the chocolate tightly in her palm, got up, and left without looking back.

From that day forth, Alfredo would bring chocolate to this place every day to find the little girl.

For a full three months, Alfredo witnessed a defensive little girl transform into a vicious-eyed, ruthless little girl.

Although the little girl had lost her previous adorable appearance, she became his friend…

Only later did he learn that this little girl was the very little princess he was supposed to serve. From that day, he swore in his heart that his life belonged to Wen Xin, and he would protect her with his own life.

At this thought, a tear slid down the corner of Alfredo’s eye, and it took him a long time to slowly open his eyes again.

“Marti, make arrangements. I’m going to the central building for the Elders Council meeting. We’ve taken the wrong path and can’t continue down it. We must remind the people of Independent State who is their true ruler.”

After speaking, Alfredo got out of bed, dragging his plaster-casted arm and somewhat inconvenient leg, and moved towards his wheelchair. He sat down in the wheelchair.

He had indeed forgotten too many things, forgotten his original intentions and promises. He only hoped that it was not too late to set things right.

Wen Xin lay in bed, looking at the message sent by Yan Qing. She turned her head to look at Mu Chengxi, who was sitting beside her bed, also dealing with emails.

“I heard the Mu family is no longer in your hands? Because of the car accident I was in that day, you just gave up the Mu family?”

Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi with a curious expression on her face. She felt that there must be a reason behind Mu Chengxi’s action; he wouldn’t easily give up what his grandfather had left him.

Seeing Wen Xin’s disbelieving expression, Mu Chengxi arched an eyebrow and smiled faintly, “That’s right, Mu Jingang has always been rallying those holding shares, and I’ve been wanting to reform the company’s development trends. So many began to oppose me.”

“Just as it happened, the shareholders’ meeting was on the same day I received a call from Mu Bei telling me you had an accident. I just lost all interest in arguing over those things, so I left the company directly and also abandoned the matter of the shares.”

“The one in power over Mu Group changed as a result, and now, I am truly just a crown prince in name within Beijing!”

Mu Chengxi lifted his hand to pinch Wen Xin’s cheek, his deep eyes devoid of any regret, filled only with indulgence and deep affection for her.

Wen Xin grabbed Mu Chengxi’s hand and gently leaned her head on his shoulder, her voice neither heavy nor light, “It doesn’t matter. With dad here, when dad used to rule over Beijing, I’ll surely bring you along…”

Before Wen Xin could finish her words, she froze in place. Just then, Mu Jinyan and Wei Manqing, who had walked in, also stood there staring at the two of them nestled together on the hospital bed.

They had heard Wen Xin’s words clearly and had never imagined that Wen Xin would refer to herself as ‘dad’ in front of Mu Chengxi, which was simply a shock to their worldview.

“Master Xi, Sir and Madam, I encountered them while I was making a payment, so…”

Mu Bei entered the room and immediately noticed that the atmosphere inside was slightly off. His voice trailed off as he tried to act as if nothing was amiss and leave the room.

But before he had taken a few steps, he heard Mu Chengxi’s voice, “Running away? Get a cup of water for my parents.”

As if nothing was wrong, Mu Chengxi gently set Wen Xin back on the bed. He then placed his laptop, which had been on his lap, onto the table beside him and casually sat up from the bed, seemingly unaware of the awkward atmosphere in the room.

For the first time, Wen Xin dared not meet the eyes of Mu Jinyan and Wei Manqing. She had always been forthright before, but today was different. She had referred to herself as ‘dad’ in front of Mu Chengxi and had been caught by Mu Chengxi’s parents, which was utterly embarrassing.

“How did you all come here? Wasn’t it said that you didn’t need to come over? In a few more days, we’ll be going home. Coming over like this in full force can easily alarm more people.”

Without news from Jiang Linyan, Mu Chengxi did not want to reveal the specifics about Wen Xin’s injury. So he simply forbade anyone from visiting, even refusing Wen Yuan and Wen Xin’s aunt harshly when they wanted to come over.

Hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, Wei Manqing momentarily forgot about what had happened upon entering. She gave Mu Chengxi an annoyed glance and pulled out a big red envelope from her pocket, placing it on Wen Xin.

“You might forbid others from coming, but your father and I are your elders, how could you not let us come! Besides, Xi girl has turned misfortune into a blessing; naturally, we should give a big red envelope to celebrate. You don’t understand anything and simply refuse our visit, which is really too much!”

As she spoke, Wei Manqing held Wen Xin’s hand and gently patted it, speaking softly, “Our family’s girl has turned misfortune into a blessing, and from now on, things will go smoothly.”

“Thank you, auntie.” Wen Xin looked at Wei Manqing with genuine affection, full of unfeigned indulgence. She smiled slightly, gripping Wei Manqing’s hand a little harder unconsciously, her nose tinged with a slight sourness. Suddenly, she felt a sense of home.
