A Big Shot’s Woman Is Wild and Fierce Chapter 655 – The Wise Know When to Retreat

Chapter 655: Chapter 654: The Wise Know When to Retreat
Old Madam Mu rose from her chair, and with a gentle call to Wen Xin said, “Little Xin Xin, please take Grandma back to her room to rest. Let them handle their own affairs. You give Grandma a massage. My head still hurts.”

When Old Madam Mu called out to her, Wen Xin turned around and walked to Old Madam Mu’s side, supporting her as they left the hall.

After Wen Xin and Old Madam Mu had left, Mu Chengxi moved to the spot where Old Madam Mu had just been sitting and with a cool gaze swept a look at the people around him. It was rare for the Mu family to gather so completely. Even the collateral branches had arranged representatives to come.

“Now that everyone is here, I will discuss the Mu family’s upcoming arrangements. Beijing has been quite tumultuous of late. After the incident with the Jiang family, everyone in Beijing feels threatened. Our Mu family has always had limited contact with the Jiang family, and I do not know if the respected uncles and elder relatives have any idea…”

While Mu Chengxi was holding a meeting in the hall, Old Madam Mu walked towards her bedroom holding Wen Xin’s hand.

“Little Xin Xin, the Mu family has a vast network, its own foundation, its own enterprises, and many dealings abroad. Although everyone has their own plans, I know that Little Yao has put a lot of effort into these affairs of the Mu family.”

“For the sake of Mu Chengxu’s future, to not be encumbered by the Mu family, he took Mu Chengxu to do business outside. His father, from the time he was young, had detached from the Mu family. One could say that Mu Chengxi has been struggling in the Mu family all by himself.”

“I hope in the future you can be more understanding of him. He also has his difficulties!”

Old Madam Mu was aware of Mu Chengxi’s intentions towards Wen Xin, and she understood Wen Xin’s feelings for Mu Chengxi. She did not demand that Wen Xin shoulder half of the Mu family’s empire like herself, but she did hope that Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi could live in perfect harmony.

When they returned to the bedroom, Old Madam Mu asked Auntie Fu to fetch a document bag and hand it over to Wen Xin.

Wen Xin took the document bag with a puzzled look on her face, looking back at Old Madam Mu.

Old Madam Mu smiled gently at Wen Xin, then motioned for her to open the document bag and look at the content inside.

Wen Xin opened the document bag and, after browsing through its content, was surprised, with a look of shock flashing in her eyes, “Grandma, this is too valuable. I can’t accept it!”

“You don’t want it? If you don’t, who else can Grandma give it to? This is Grandma’s guarantee for you and Chengxi’s future.”

“Last time, Grandma already gave you the Mu family’s bridal gift. Since you accepted it, you are part of the Mu family now. You are the granddaughter-in-law I acknowledge.”

“By giving you this property right this time, no matter what happens to the Mu family in the future, and whether you and Mu Chengxi still wish to stay with the Mu family, you both can live a secure and carefree life. Grandma won’t have to worry about you two anymore!”

Old Madam Mu looked earnestly at Wen Xin, holding her hand tightly in her own.

“Little Xin Xin, your Grandfather Xi and I always felt that handing over the Mu family to Chengxi was a disservice to him. As a child, he seemed like a rich heir, and people jokingly called him ‘prince of the capital’.

“But we knew that he did not like staying within the Mu family, did not want to be bound by it. However, there was no choice. Only if the Mu family was in his hands could it survive.”

“Having you by Mu Chengxi’s side gives Grandma peace of mind. On the road ahead, Mu Chengxi is not alone, so you must accept this item.”

Old Madam Mu’s words reached this point, and Wen Xin knew there was no need to refuse any longer. She nodded and offered Old Madam Mu a gentle, reassuring smile.

“I will listen to Grandma. I’ll accept this item and take care of the Mu family in the future. Rest assured.”

“As for the Mu family’s troubles, Grandma need not concern herself. You must believe that the grandson you and Grandfather Xi have personally nurtured will not let you down. He will manage the Mu family well.”

As she spoke, Wen Xin stood up, placed the document bag Old Madam Mu had handed her into her backpack, and then took out silver needles to begin acupuncture treatment on Old Madam Wen.

Old Master Jiang’s health had not improved with medication, so Housekeeper Jiang had invited Zhuge Jingming from the clinic to the Jiang family home,

Zhuge Jingming, seeing Old Master Jiang in a poor state in bed, glanced helplessly at the housekeeper.

“Housekeeper Jiang, I’m going to step out and make a phone call. I’ll ask my Little Uncle-Master if she has time to come and examine Old Master Jiang. If she can’t help, I think we should send him to the hospital as soon as possible; after all, recovery with traditional medicine can be slow.”

Zhuge Jingming did not dare to be too certain. Last time, Jiang Linyan attributed all the credit to Sun Miao, which had displeased Wen Xin. This time, he was not sure if Wen Xin would agree to treat Old Master Jiang.

“Your Little Uncle-Master? If we could invite your Little Uncle-Master, that would be wonderful. Rest assured, Master Zhuge, if your Little Uncle-Master agrees to come and diagnose our master, we will not shortchange the fee; you can be absolutely assured of that!”

After hearing what the housekeeper said, Zhuge Jingming showed no sign of excitement but instead a look of indescribable expression. If his Little Uncle-Master were only interested in money, things would be simple, but unfortunately, she was not in need of money, which really was a problem.

With his phone in hand, Zhuge Jingming left Old Master Jiang’s room and dialed Wen Xin’s number in the hallway.

For some reason, Wen Xin’s phone was unreachable. In the end, Zhuge Jingming returned resignedly to Old Master Jiang’s room and shook his head at the housekeeper.

“Sorry, I can’t get hold of my Little Uncle-Master. I think it’s best not to delay Old Master Jiang’s condition. It would be better to send him to the hospital sooner. Once the hospital checks show nothing serious, I can take over the follow-up treatment.”

“Housekeeper, I sincerely advise you, given Old Master Jiang’s special condition and history of major surgery, it’s not good to delay. Better to go to the hospital sooner!”

Zhuge Jingming kindly offered his advice to Housekeeper Jiang before leaving the bedroom with his suitcase.

Housekeeper Jiang wanted to see Zhuge Jingming out, but Zhuge Jingming stopped him, “Housekeeper, you should attend to Old Master Jiang’s condition first. I can go down with your servants, my apprentice is waiting outside; I can get back by myself.”

Zhuge Jingming did not need the fuss. When he had taken Old Master Jiang’s pulse, he could feel the disorder in his energy, which was not a good sign.

If Wen Xin had been present, she could have resolved the issue with just a few needles. But for him, it was not something easily achieved. Not wanting to make matters worse, the best course of action was to leave.
