Chapter 941: Chapter 939 Excessive Dependence, Not Wanting to Separate
Geng Qiu listened to Wen Xin’s words, feeling that it was too cruel. She could have had a good future and a home, but now everything had turned out this way. She didn’t want this.
All she could do was deceive herself into believing that Wen Xin was speaking. Only by doing this could she feel a little better. She convinced herself that Wen Xin was just a bumpkin from the boonies, fully accepting whatever Wen Xin said, things like being a first-level researcher… about a beautiful future…
Wen Xin looked at the resistance and evasion in Geng Qiu’s eyes and gave a faint smile. The more Geng Qiu didn’t want to listen, the more Wen Xin insisted on telling her. There was nothing more unsettling than a direct hit to the soul.
“I can only say your dad and your grandma were too naive. Whatever Su Li said, you believed. I’m not her biological daughter, I’m just someone who was raised by my grandmother.”
“I don’t! I don’t care! I don’t want to listen, I won’t believe a single word you say! Wen Xin, you are just trying to deceive me! You’re just trying to shed your hillbilly identity, stop lying to me, I won’t believe any word of what you’re saying!”
Geng Qiu huddled on the ground, curled into a ball, covering her ears with her hands. She didn’t want to hear any word that came out of Wen Xin’s mouth. The only thing she thought she had over Wen Xin was her own social status, and she didn’t want to shatter her own illusions.
Looking at Geng Qiu’s self-deceptive behavior, Wen Xin shook her head helplessly, “Even if you run away, you can’t change the current reality. The Geng family is gone, and soon you will be too. I just want you to die with a clearer understanding, that’s all.”
“Su Li’s biological daughter is not me, and it won’t be long before you can see Su Li. Since you don’t want to believe what I’m saying, just wait. When you meet Su Li, go ask him yourself, what the truth of this matter really is.”
Wen Xin glanced at the man in black standing to the side and spoke coldly to him, “Pick her up for me; I have something I want to ask her.”
Thanks to Wen Xin’s composure, the man acted swiftly on Geng Qiu without hesitation, pulling her up from the ground, making her sit on the bed, and holding her head to face Wen Xin.
Wen Xin was very satisfied with the man in black’s actions; she appreciated this straightforward and rough approach.
“Who sent you to the Jiang family? What kind of deal was made for the Jiang family to be willing to help you?”
Wen Xin stared intently at Geng Qiu’s eyes. Geng Qiu felt as if her soul had been intimidated, and she involuntarily started speaking, revealing everything she knew.
“It was Wei Shisheng who sent me to the Jiang family. Wei Shisheng is now with the Independent State and has a collaboration with Miss Jiang of the Jiang family, Jiang Linyan. That’s why the Jiang family agreed to help me.”
“In fact, the reason the Jiang family and Wei Shisheng teamed up was because they hate you. They hate you for stealing the man they loved the most, hate you for becoming the envy of everyone in Beijing. They want to destroy you; in their eyes, you are someone who must be eliminated.”
“And the Jiang family was willing to help me purely because they want to destroy the Mu family and take their place, so they reached a consensus with me!”
Hearing their absurd reasons, Wen Xin just smiled coldly. If anything was to blame, it was that she had been too busy recently, completely forgetting to keep an eye on Wei Shisheng. She never expected that Wei Shisheng would have turned out to be with the Independent State.
This matter was truly becoming more interesting.
Wen Xin looked into Geng Qiu’s eyes and asked her slowly, “Do you know who Wei Shisheng is relying on in the Independent State?”
“It’s some lady. She said that person was her mother… But I don’t know the specific identity.”
Perhaps the mental shock was too great; after Geng Qiu finished speaking, her entire body fainted. Wen Xin watched Geng Qiu’s condition and just waved her hand casually.
“Make some arrangements. Send her to M State. I’ll give you an address later. Have your people take her there,” she said.
Wen Xin was speaking to Xiao Mi, who looked at the person lying on the small bed, her brow unconsciously furrowing. She felt that whatever difficulties Wen Xin presented her with, sending someone like this out of the country was a challenging task.
Wen Xin saw Xiao Mi’s reaction and smiled faintly, then raised an eyebrow, “You don’t need to rush to refuse. If I’m asking you, it means I know you have the capability. If you can bring these people in, I know you can take someone out. Hurry up and make the arrangements, I’m quite in a rush.”
Xiao Mi looked at Wen Xin’s smile and had no temper left regarding Wen Xin’s instructions; she could only meekly nod in the end.
“I understand, I’ll arrange it as soon as possible…”
At this point, Xiao Mi suddenly remembered the ‘madam’ Geng Qiu had mentioned. She lifted her head, looking at Wen Xin with some confusion.
“Did you guess who that madam is? It’s not…”
The circles in the Independent State were not large, and the Bai Family’s affairs could not be completely concealed, so it was not surprising that Xiao Mi was aware of the matter.
Knowing Xiao Mi had guessed, Wen Xin looked at her and nodded lightly, smiling faintly, “Yes, it’s the person who left the Bai Family. Grandfather doesn’t like anyone bringing up her connection with the Bai Family, so don’t mention her in front of Grandfather.”
Wen Xin thought about eventually bringing Xiao Mi back to the Bai Family to meet her grandparents, so she alerted Xiao Mi in advance, worried that Xiao Mi might accidentally say something without thinking.
When Wen Xin came out of the basement, she saw Mu Chengxi leaning against the car, smoking. Mu Chengxi had taken a call when they were entering the basement and had not followed them in.
Approaching Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin naturally reached out and wrapped her arms around him, looking up at him and inquiring in a gentle tone.
“What’s wrong? Do you have matters to deal with?”
“Hmm, there is indeed some business to attend to. I need to make a trip to F State. This time, I’m taking Mu Dong and Mu Nan with me. Gu Yanzhe still has matters to handle in Beijing. If you need anything, you can look for Liang Luoyu or Qian Meng and don’t trouble yourself too much. Wait for me to come back!”
Mu Chengxi bent down and gently kissed the corner of Wen Xin’s lips. Although reluctant to part, the urgency of time dictated that he attend to the matters at hand first.
Wen Xin leaned against Mu Chengxi’s chest, silently listening to his strong and steady heartbeat. After a while, she rose from his embrace, stood on tiptoe, and gently kissed Mu Chengxi’s thin lips.
“Let me take you to the airport…” Wen Xin was becoming increasingly dependent on Mu Chengxi and the thought of him travelling to F State made her unhappy from this moment onward.
However, she was clear about who Mu Chengxi was visiting F State for, so she did not cling to him.
“Alright, let’s head to the airport…” After speaking, Mu Chengxi wrapped his arms around Wen Xin, opened the car door for her, let her sit inside, and together they left Xiao Mi’s estate.
