Chapter 299: The Biggest Knot in His Heart Comes From Guilt
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Have you heard? Today, Chengxi asked Mu Bei to send Wei Shisheng from Ice
City to the Wei family. He even warned my father to take care of Wei Shisheng. If there’s a next time, he’ll throw Wei Shisheng overseas. My father was so angry.”
“Of course, I heard about it. My father-in-law and brother-in-law both called me and said that Mu Chengxi is becoming increasingly disrespectful towards his elders. How did we raise such a son? He’s the representative of the hedonistic sons of the capital. Everyone calls him the crown prince. Now, he’s even threatening grandfather because a woman. He’s really grown up and can’t be controlled anymore!”
Although Mu Jinyan’s tone was reproachful, it was more of helplessness and even a little doting.
That’s right. If it weren’t for the Mu family’s pampering and indulgence, Mu Chengxi wouldn’t have developed such a personality.
“That was just the beginning. Later, Father was so amused that he couldn’t even scold him. When Father called Mu Chengxi, ready to give him a piece of his mind, Chengxi said one sentence that shut down everything Father wanted to say. He asked Father if he considered him as a grandson-in-law or just an outsider. If he considered him a grandson-in-law, then he should follow what Chengxi said. Chengxi could make Mu Bei bring the person back purely out of respect for Father.”
“Just that sentence made him happy again.”
Wei Manqing’s voice was gentle. She was the most doted daughter in the Wei family, and she was also the most doted daughter-in-law in the Mu family. Moreover, she had Mu Jinyan’s love for her for twenty-five years, so she had always maintained her delicate little girl character.
She suddenly turned around in Mu Jinyan’s arms and looked up at him. “Jinyan, what are you going to do about Wen Xin’s matter? Do you agree to her relationship with Chengxi?”
“Of course, I have to agree!”
Mu Jinyan looked at his wife, who was like a delicate young lady in his arms, with a doting smile in his eyes.
“Your son has already eaten her up. He can’t be a heartless man, right?” Mu Jinyan hugged Wei Manqing and walked towards the bedroom.
“I had a good impression of that young lady back then. She was calm and confident, and her medical skills were very good. Especially that pair of bright black eyes with that wicked and wild light. I felt that she was not an ordinary person.”
“The knot in my heart is probably my guilt for her. I knew that she wouldn’t have poisoned my mother, but I didn’t speak up for her immediately. To prevent the scandal from being leaked, I was muddle-headed and thought it would be better to let someone with no background take the blame. When the time comes, I’ll give her some compensation.”
“But I was wrong. I underestimated her. She calmly resolved all the doubts and treated my mother’s illness without caring about the past. In the end, she even used the truth to resolve all the doubts.”
“My first feeling was that I’ve let her down. I actually looked down on that little girl. At the same time, I also made what I thought was the worst decision ever.
I just don’t know how to face it.”
“Now I understand that face is not important. When we meet in the future, I’ll apologize to the little girl properly. We’ll be a family in the future. She should be able to forgive me, her father-in-law, for my foolish actions!”
When Mu Jinyan thought of Wen Xin’s stunning and cold little face and that disdainful gaze, he wanted to laugh.
He had been respected for half his life. He did not expect to be despised by an eighteen-year-old girl, but that this girl would also be his future daughter-in-law.
“Then we’ll dote on her even more. I heard that she grew up in a poor mountainous area and was adopted. In the future, we’ll treat her like our own daughter. I’ll go shopping tomorrow and prepare some autumn and winter clothes for her. She should be able to use them when she arrives in the capital.”
That is tomorrow’s matter. He would have a good rest today. He had been busy all day and was very tired!
On Monday morning, Wen Xin brought Tan Xingyue and Wen Huai out of Mu Bei’s car. Mu Chengxi had received a call last night to bring Liang Luoyu overseas to settle some matters. He promised to go on Friday.
Wen Xin took Tan Xingyue’s backpack and put it on her shoulder before entering the school.
The atmosphere in the school was very normal. It was not affected by her identity as a genius composer. Occasionally, people passing by would take a few more glances at her.
In places Wen Xin could not see, some students were hiding and extremely excited, suppressing the urge to rush up and ask for autographs.
“Ahhhh, who would have thought I would be in the same school as the genius piano composer Wen? I can even see her up close. I’m so excited.”
“Last night, I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep at all when I thought about seeing my goddess, Wen Xin, at school today. The moment I saw her, I suddenly realized that everything had been worth it!”
“You’re exaggerating. I’ve only watched her playing the piano a few hundred times. I know people who don’t know how to play the piano, but I actually fell asleep listening to piano music. I only hate that I’ve missed the age to learn the piano. Otherwise, in order to be on the same stage as my idol, I would have to study hard.”
The crowd in the corner was discussing their admiration for Wen Xin, while the experimental class students were secretly hiding behind the door, watching Wen Xin’s wild and rebellious figure.
Before, Wen Xin was the object of their admiration, but now, she has become someone they look up to, someone unattainable and beyond reach.
“I’m so envious of the students in Class Twenty. They can be in close contact with their idol every day. It’s really too blissful.”
“Haven’t you guys heard? Wen Xin and Tan Xingyue wanted to join us, but
Teacher Chu rejected them mercilessly. Now, we can only see Teacher Yang’s proud back!”
“Actually, Teacher Chu is not wrong. Wen Xin’s grades are so bad. It’s normal that she can’t enter the experimental class!”
Suddenly, a girl spoke softly behind the boys leaning against the door and looking at Wen Xin. They had not said that about Wen Xin before, but now, all the comments have changed.
“What do you know? I heard that the music department of Beijing University called the principal yesterday. That’s Beijing University. The medical school and the music department are fighting for a person. What kind of concept is that? With your good grades, can you guarantee you’ll go to Beijing University?”
The boys were very unhappy that their goddess was being belittled, so they started to talk back to the girl.
The girl was speechless. She lowered her head and returned to her seat. She threw the book on her desk angrily.
“Have you heard? “The Geng family has been sealed off, the company has been shut down, and all the family’s assets are being checked. Geng Qiu’s father has been arrested. I heard that Geng Qiu is now in the hospital, and it’s unknown whether she’s dead or alive. How pitiful. She used to be the high and mighty princess of the Geng family. Now that the Geng family is gone, her dream of being a princess should be shattered, right?”
“I heard that too. I heard that the Geng family’s problem is especially serious this time. I’m afraid they’re going to fall completely!”
“Feng Ling, you have the best relationship with Geng Qiu.. Do you know how
Geng Qiu is doing now?”
