Gu Yanzhe watched Wei Shisheng with a gentle demeanor, setting aside any past conflicts between her and Mu Chengxi. He believed there was no need for confrontation between himself and her.
“I’m just passing by, wanted to see this place I once dreamed of entering. I never thought, it was from here that I lost my dreams and life.”
To this day, Wei Shisheng still believed that Mu Chengxi was responsible for ruining everything for her. She didn’t see it as her own fault.
Gu Yanzhe watched Wei Shisheng, a hint of irony playing at the corners of his mouth, “Did you stop me just to chat?”
“It’s nothing, just catching up. Don’t worry, I’ve given up on Mu Chengxi long ago; I’m not delusional anymore. My fiancé is from the Independent State; Mu
Chengxi doesn’t matter to me anymore.”
Wei Shisheng watched Gu Yanzhe defensively watching her, and she scoffed lightly. Once, she thought the best man in the world could only be Mu Chengxi.
After many experiences, she realized that power and status were what truly mattered. Men… were unimportant.
“Alright, I just wanted to say hi, nothing else, I’ll be going now.”
After speaking, Wei Shisheng didn’t give Gu Yanzhe a chance to respond. She left directly, leaving Gu Yanzhe standing there, puzzled by the odd turn of events.
Wen Xin sat in front of her computer, looking at the latest information about the Shadow Alliance. Her brow furrowed slightly, unsure of what it meant that the Shadow Alliance had again gone silent. It seemed like the people she used to contact had disappeared for a long time.
“Boss, I’ve sent the information to your email. Recently, Geng Zewei returned to the country, and it’s unclear what he’s up to. According to reliable sources, he’s brought an assistant with him who is closely associated with Geng Qiu.’
Wen Xin read the message sent through the internal software by Yan Qing, pondering what Geng Zewei could be up to.
The Geng family’s assets had been seized by the court, and Geng Shikui’s sentence was passed two months ago. Even the old lady of the Geng family had returned to the countryside. It was baffling why Geng Zewei had come back.
Wen Xin put down her mouse, picked up her phone, and briefly replied to Yan Qing, “Keep track of Geng Zewei’s movements. I want to know what he intends to do in the country.”
“Understood, boss.”
“By the way, boss, is your friend really considering taking that job from the Shadow Alliance to find the Miracle Doctor? The latest news I got is that Aiden’s condition is critical, and even a Miracle Doctor might not be able to help. It’s not worth getting involved in this mess.”
During his investigation of the Shadow Alliance, Yan Qing found that the person now leading wasn’t Aiden but Ethan, the second-in-command of the Shadow Alliance.
Yan Qing hoped Wen Xin’s friend would think carefully. If anything went slightly wrong, it could lead to serious trouble.
Wen Xin stared at her phone, unconsciously leaning back in her chair and resting lazily against the backrest, pondering the message from Yan Qing. But… without getting close to them, she would never uncover the truth.
She was indeed afraid of trouble, but some troubles were inevitable, and some issues had to be resolved.
“I have everything under control. I can ensure she comes back unscathed.”
Seeing that the Doll would personally protect the Miracle Doctor, Yan Qing had no more worries. With the Doll there, nothing unexpected would happen.
Wen Xin exited Diting’s software and opened a red map icon; she wanted to contact Lucas.
Since the incident at the Ancient Market Town docks, Lucas had not contacted her again. She had tried to reach him several times in between but had received no response.
After staying on the app for about five minutes, the message still seemed to sink like a stone in the ocean, without any response.
Wen Xin’s dark eyes stared intently at the phone. Now, it seemed only a personal visit could resolve the situation.
Putting away her bulky phone, Wen Xin glanced at the time, shut down her computer, picked up her usual phone, and sent a message in the Class 20 group chat.
“Six o’clock tonight, at MO Yu Pavilion, my treat!”
The moment Wen Xin’s message was sent, Class 20’s group chat exploded. They had been waiting for her message.
Before the exams, they had not received any messages from Wen Xin, and they thought she had been too busy and had forgotten about them.
Seeing the flurry of messages in the group, Wen Xin just sent a smiling emoji, went to the wardrobe to change clothes, and then prepared to head to MO Yu Pavilion to meet the delightful youngsters.
When Wen Xin walked out of the bedroom, Mu Chengxi and Liang Luoyu were sitting in the living room, discussing something. Liang Luoyu held some documents, his expression somewhat serious.
“Wen Xin, are you going out?” Liang Luoyu was the first to notice her, surprised by her outfit prepared for going out.
“Yes, I’ve made plans with Class 20’s students. Do you guys want to come along?”
Wen Xin knew the students from Class 20 were familiar with them and saw no issue with bringing them along for a casual outing.
“I’ll go, just let me change.” Saying this, Liang Luoyu passed the folder to Mu Chengxi and hurried out to change downstairs.
Liang Luoyu’s enthusiastic response to the Class 20 gathering was not surprising to Wen Xin, especially given his keen interest in Tan Xingyue’s affairs.
“Why is he so excited? What’s up with him?” Wen Xin sat down next to Mu Chengxi, noticing his eyes were fixed on her.
“Just this morning, while Liang Luoyu was organizing Tan Xingyue’s study materials, he found a love letter in her book, written by a Class 20 student named Qin Ling. That’s why Liang Luoyu is so unsettled.”
Hearing the reason for Liang Luoyu’s agitation, Wen Xin chuckled lightly.
It seemed her little girl had grown up; she was already receiving love letters.
Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin’s charming smile and stretched out his arms to lift her onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her waist and enveloping her in his embrace.
“When Tan Xingyue receives just one love letter, Liang Luoyu gets upset. Remember back when my little ancestor used to fill a trash can with love letters… do you know how hard that was for me?”
Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi, who was half-smiling, and raised her hand to cup his handsome face, teasingly raising her eyebrows.
“All the contents of those love letters—I never read a single one. Don’t try to settle scores with me; I don’t accept PUA..”
