“Speaking of your brother, it’s been a while since we last met. It’s been so long since we’ve seen some of our close friends in the Beijing circle. I wonder if they still remember me.”

As Gu Xiang listened to Jiang Linyan’s words, she sensed a tinge of regret in her tone. Suddenly, Gu Xiang had an idea and looked at Jiang Linyan with excitement.

“Today is a great opportunity! Do you remember Liang Luoyu? He’s hosting a gathering tonight. I’ll add you to the group and invite you. Don’t reveal your identity yet. Tonight, I’ll take you to meet them. It’ll be a pleasant surprise.”

Linking her arm with Jiang Linyan’s, Gu Xiang walked into the mall opposite and sat down at the restaurant Gu Xiang mentioned.

The place was crowded at this time, but Gu Xiang had a membership card specially given to her by Gu Yanzhe. She didn’t have to wait; she was led directly into a custom-made private room.

After Gu Xiang and Jiang Linyan ordered their food, Jiang Linyan suddenly asked about Gu Xiang’s visit to the hospital, something she hadn’t heard about. She was unaware of any relatives of the Gu family being in the hospital.

“Why did you go to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell, or is something wrong?”

“I originally went to settle the score with Wei Shisheng, but seeing how pitiful she is now, I decided not to confront her. But thinking about it now, I still can’t swallow this anger!”

Gu Xiang felt frustrated thinking about how Wei Shisheng had used her and almost caused the downfall of the Gu family.

It wasn’t until she studied in the Hacker Alliance that she realized how powerful Wen Xin was. She learned that even the president of the Hacker Alliance had to listen to her. However, her status was too low for her to understand Wen Xin’s true status.

“Has something happened? Weren’t you getting along well in this circle?”

Jiang Linyan had just returned, and she wasn’t very clear about the situation in the Beijing circle. Coupled with the recent events involving Mu Chengxi, she didn’t have the mood to care about other things.

“It’s about Wei Shisheng and Master Xi. You know, Wei Shisheng has always regarded herself as Master Xi’s fiancée since childhood. Maybe you don’t know, but when you went abroad, things got even crazier. She was practically living at the Mu family’s house. In order to avoid her, Master Xi hardly returned to Beijing.”

“Later, when Old Madam Mu fell seriously ill, Master Xi brought back a girl, his current girlfriend. She’s his treasure. My brother said he’d never seen Master Xi so serious about any girl before.”

“There are many things I’m not very clear about, but in short, after Master Xi publicly revealed his girlfriend’s identity, Wei Shisheng caused all sorts of trouble. She even hypnotized me to get some hooligans to attack Wen Xin. Not only did the hooligans fail, but our Gu family also almost got implicated…”

“Let’s not talk about it. Anyway, Wei Shisheng caused trouble and made me take the blame.”

The more Gu Xiang spoke, the more she couldn’t swallow the anger in her heart. She had to find a way to resolve this matter.

“Alright, don’t be angry. Wei Shisheng has always had that kind of personality. Once she sets her mind on something, she doesn’t care whether others agree or not; she just insists on having her way. Fortunately, Chengxi doesn’t spoil her, or else she would have been out of control in Beijing long ago.”

Jiang Linyan’s voice was gentle as she comforted Gu Xiang. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and no one knew what she was planning.

By the time Wen Xin’s group finished lunch, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon. Mu Chengxi instructed them to go have fun first while he took Wen Xin to Tianye Technology Company.

No one objected, and they all walked together from the alley to where the cars were parked.

Mu Chengxi’s car stopped downstairs at Tianye Technology Company, and he raised an eyebrow as he looked at the company’s huge sign. “Yuan Junye did quite well!”

Wen Xin could hear the heavy jealousy in Mu Chengxi’s tone. She undid her seatbelt and took the initiative to hug Mu Chengxi, planting a heavy kiss on his cheek.

“If you’re worried, why don’t you come up with me and take a look? I just want to work on a program for a robot and need to use the equipment here at Tianye. I’ve explained it to you before. I have some shares in this company, so it’s more convenient.”

Initially, Wen Xin had considered taking this project back to the research institute at the sanatorium, but the computer requirements were too high, and setting up a new system would be too troublesome. She thought Yuan Junye’s place was the most suitable, but she didn’t expect Mu Chengxi to be so jealous.

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin pointing to the other side of his face, smiling gently at her. “We need to share the rain and dew equally.”

This time, Wen Xin didn’t act coy. She simply indulged Mu Chengxi. She leaned over and planted a kiss on Mu Chengxi’s other cheek.

“Alright, go and do your work. Call me when you’re done, and I’ll come pick you up.” Mu Chengxi gently pinched Wen Xin’s earlobe and spoke softly to her. Although he was wary of Yuan Junye, he wouldn’t control Wen Xin’s friendships.

Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi, somewhat surprised. She thought he would insist on accompanying her, but he unexpectedly didn’t want to go with her.

“Are you really not coming?”

“I’m not. Go on. I’ll wait for you to finish your work and come pick you up.” Mu Chengxi stretched out his long arm, pulled Wen Xin into his embrace, planted a light peck on her lips, and then released her.

“Then, I’ll go and get busy.”

When Wen Xin got out of the car, she glanced at the time. She was more than ten minutes later than the time Yuan Junye had set. This was the first time Wen Xin had been late.

As Wen Xin entered the building of Tianye Technology Company, the iris authentication system recognized her without any hindrance. She took the elevator up and walked straight into Yuan Junye’s office. No one stopped her.

Standing outside Yuan Junye’s office, Wen Xin lightly knocked on the door, and Yuan Junye’s voice came from inside.

“Please come in…”

Wen Xin pushed open the heavy office door and walked into Yuan Junye’s office. Yuan Junye looked at Wen Xin with a faint smile. “Seventeen minutes late.”

“Well, I could have come on time, but Mu Chengxi seems a bit dissatisfied with you. I had to have a friendly chat with him before coming up.”

Wen Xin took the cup of flower tea Yuan Junye had brewed for her and smiled lightly. It was rare for her voice to not be so cold, but it sounded like she was in a good mood.

“It’s not like your usual temper. If someone needed an explanation from you before, you would have slapped them across the face long ago!”

When Yuan Junye first met Wen Xin, his first impression of her was that she was difficult to get along with. She treated everyone with the same attitude, becoming impatient after just a few words.

It seemed that Mu Chengxi was truly unexpected for Wen Xin. Yuan Junye had seen the changes in her over the past year and felt that Wen Xin was truly changing.

“Isn’t it a two-way street? If you want to be together, you have to be sincere.

Otherwise, it’s just a waste of each other’s time..”
