Chapter 27

Master Xi Just Wants to Maintain a Good Image

Wei Manqing could tell that her son’s attitude towards that young lady was different. She glared at her son and lowered her voice. “Is this the time to discuss whether she’s pretty or not? It’s fine if your little girl can cure your grandmother. If anything goes wrong, these people from the Mu family can swallow her alive!”

“If they dare to touch my little girl, let’s see who will eat who in the end!”

At this point, Mu Chengxi’s pitch-black eyes swept across the crowd. He only wanted to maintain his good image in front of Wen Xin, but it did not mean that he did not have a temper.

Sun Miao, who had been paying attention to Mu Chengxi, could not hear what Mu Chengxi and Wei Manqing were talking about. However, she knew instinctively that Mu Chengxi was definitely talking about Wen Xin. The flames of jealousy in her heart had already started to spread.

“It’s been so long, why is there no movement inside? Could it be that the old madam’s condition was not good?” Sun Miao said mockingly. She did not believe that a young lady like Wen Xin could cure Old Madam Mu, and she even used acupuncture. What a joke.

“Acupuncture has always been nonsense and pseudoscience. That little girl actually thinks that acupuncture can treat the old madam’s stroke. I’m afraid she’s making things worse!”

“Mr. Mu, it’s not that I’m being harsh, but you’re risking the old madam’s life. A person who has never been in the medical field, I wonder if she’s a swindler…”

Sun Miao deliberately stirred up the emotions of the people around her. She did not believe that everyone in the Mu family believed in that girl’s medical skills.

“Ah…”

Suddenly, Sun Miao let out a scream, and everyone turned their heads to see her with water dripping down her face and a few tea leaves on top of her head, looking very disheveled.

Mu Chengxi stood up from his chair and walked to Director Lee. He said in a low and hoarse voice, “Are all the people in your hospital so talkative? The team under you is an elite invited from a medical organization? Is this what the so-called elites are like?”

His deep voice carried a warning. Dean Lee looked away from Sun Miao, not daring to look into Mu Chengxi’s dark eyes.

“Young Master Mu, you can look down on me, but you can’t look down on Director Li, and you can’t look down on the medical organization. The medical organization is filled with the best doctors and the most advanced equipment.”

Sun Miao spoke to Mu Chengxi agitatedly. She could not tolerate her beliefs being slandered, not even by Mu Chengxi.

“Since you guys are so amazing, then the research institute’s funding this year will be halved. After all, people won’t bend their backs for money!” Mu Chengxi’s eyes were smiling when he spoke. He had a casual attitude, and the words he said seemed to have nothing to do with it.

Upon hearing that the funding was halved, Director Lee looked at Mu Chengxi in shock. It should be known that the annual research funding of the Medical Research Institute was just right. The Medical Research Institute was a place that burned money. If the funding was halved, many research projects would be delayed. No one could afford such a loss…

“Young Master Mu, you can’t…”

“Old Madam is awake!” At that moment, the door of Old Madam Mu’s room opened. Su Haoran came out of the room excitedly and told everyone the news. He had just watched a wonderful acupuncture therapy, and he was excited.

Upon hearing this news, the old lady’s several sons rushed into the room. Inside the room, Wen Xin had already packed her belongings and was sitting on the sofa, writing a prescription.

Strolling sllowly behind, Mu Chengxi noticed Wen Xin’s pale complexion as soon as he entered the room. A wave of concern surged in him, causing his steps to quicken involuntarily as he headed towards Wen Xin.
