Chapter 21

The Old Madam’s Condition Is Not Good

Exiting the airport, Mu Chengxi, with Wen Xin in tow, walked straight toward a parked Mercedes-Benz by the roadside.

The chauffeur sensed their approach and immediately got out, walking up to Mu Chengxi and respectfully called out, “Seventh Young Master!”

Mu Chengxi cast a glance at the driver who was there to pick him up. “Why are you here? Where’s Mu Dong?”

“The Master said that Old Madam’s condition isn’t very good. He was worried that you wouldn’t directly return to the old mansion. So, he specially sent me to pick you up. If there’s anything, he asks you to call him!”

The driver explained respectfully. Mu Jinyan knew Mu Chengxi’s temper well and was concerned that he might hand over the doctor to Mu Dong and not come home.

“He does understand me!”

Mu Chengxi originally wanted Mu Dong to take the doctor back to the Mu family estate. However, when he learned that Wen Xin was the one who was going to treat the old madam, he changed his mind.

He would not let Wen Xin face the Mu family alone. He would naturally protect the people he brought along.

Mu Chengxi opened the car door to let Wen Xin get in first. He followed behind and said to the chauffeur in a cold voice, “Drive.”

The driver looked at the two in the back seat through the rearview mirror. He hesitated for a long time before saying, “Seventh Young Master, Sir said that you would bring the doctor back, but the doctor…”

Didn’t he bring the doctor?

Looking at the girl in the rearview mirror, playing with her phone, the driver wondered when Mu Chengxi got himself a girlfriend. However, that was not the point. The main thing was that the entire Mu family was waiting for Mu Chengxi to bring the doctor back.

Mu Chengxi’s cold gaze swept over the chauffeur, who looked like he wanted to say something more. “You’ll know when we get back to the old mansion!”

The chauffeur could not help but widen his eyes when he understood what Mu Chengxi meant. His gaze fixed on Wen Xin in the mirror. He could not believe that the doctor was this young lady. What could a young lady know?

Wen Xin was not in the mood to care about the interaction between Mu Chengxi and the chauffeur. Every breath she took was suffused with the faint woody fragrance emanating from Mu Chengxi’s body.

This fragrance calmed her mind. Wen Xin did not reject it but rather liked it.

Yet, this unexpected sensation left Wen Xin somewhat irked.

The chauffeur started the car. Mu Chengxi seemed to remember something. “Let’s go to Gongxiao Restaurant first. We’ll return to the old mansion after eating.”

Just as Mu Chengxi finished speaking, the car jolted violently. The driver said nervously, “Seventh Master, the old madam’s condition is not very good. The people in the other courtyards have been making a fuss all day and want to send the old madam to the hospital. It won’t be good to delay any longer so we should go home first!”

The chauffeur knew how chaotic the Mu family was at the moment. Furthermore, the Mu family also knew Mu Chengxi’s flight schedule. If he returned late, Mu Jinyan would not have been able to explain himself.

“Then let’s eat first…”

“No need. Let’s go and take a look at the patient’s condition first. There’s no hurry to eat.”

Wen Xin softly interrupted Mu Chengxi.

She could hear the urgency in the driver’s tone. She knew that the old lady’s illness could not be delayed. If anything happened to her because of the meal, she would not be at ease.

Turning his head, Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin. At this moment, Wen Xin was wearing a hat, so he could not see Wen Xin’s expression.

Wen Xin seemed to sense Mu Chengxi looking at her. She took off her hat and shot him a sharp look. She changed into a comfortable position and continued playing her game as if nothing happened.

She looked arrogant, as if in a bad mood.
