A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 919: Chapter 917 Grandma Really Is Partial

Mu Chengxu placed the food on the table next to him, walked over to Old Madam Mu’s side, helped her into her clothes, and then assisted her out of bed.

Old Madam Mu looked at Mu Chengxu, gripping his arm tightly with one hand, “Tell me, you haven’t lied to me?”

Seeing Old Madam Mu’s cautious look, Mu Chengxu felt somewhat helpless, “Grandma, if you’re not at ease, I can call them and let you listen, would that reassure you?”

While speaking, Mu Chengxu dialed Mu Bei’s number, and the call was picked up after just a few rings; it was a familiar girl’s voice on the other end.

“Sister?”

“Xin girl?” Upon hearing Wen Xin’s voice, Old Madam Mu became very emotional; she quickly spoke, calling Wen Xin’s name.

“Yes, Grandma, it’s me,” Wen Xin sweetly replied upon hearing Old Madam Mu’s voice.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

She had planned to call Old Madam Mu before returning to the country, but after calculating the time, she felt it was a bit too early, so she didn’t make the call. To her surprise, Old Madam Mu beat her to it.

Hearing Wen Xin’s response, Old Madam Mu was instantly overjoyed; she took the phone from Mu Chengxu’s hand, held it to her ear, and spoke very gently.

“Xin girl, I finally got some news from you, finally found you. How are you now? Have you been hurt? Is your health alright?”

Old Madam thought, Wen Xin must have suffered many grievances after being taken away. Such incidents would certainly have caused her physical pain.

With this thought, Old Madam Mu felt a deep pain in her heart, considering how much the delicate young lady must have been through.

“Xin girl, if you have suffered any grievances, you must tell Grandma. With me here, I will definitely support you. No matter who it is, I won’t allow them to bully my precious granddaughter-in-law. Has this incident something to do with the Mu family?”

The more Old Madam Mu spoke, the more agitated she became, unable to think of anyone else who might harm Wen Xin. She felt that those who would harm Wen Xin must have some conflict of interest with Mu Chengxi.

“Grandma, my situation is a bit complicated, but you don’t need to worry. Those people have already been taken care of; I haven’t suffered. Mu Chengxi found me just in time, please rest assured.”

Wen Xin soothed Old Madam Mu in a gentle tone; she certainly didn’t want Old Madam Mu to have any health issues so soon after recovering.

“That’s good, that’s good. Your sister said you will be back soon? Grandma will wait for your return.”

Knowing that Wen Xin was safe and the issues had been resolved, the heavy burden on Old Madam Mu’s heart was at last lifted.

Listening to Old Madam Mu’s doting voice, Wen Xin also responded softly, “Okay, Grandma, we might return a bit late, so you should rest well. Your health is the most important thing!”

Hearing Wen Xin’s comforting voice to Old Madam Mu, Auntie Fu and Mu Chengxu both felt relieved, genuinely worried that Old Madam Mu would harm her own health from worry.

After chatting with Old Madam Mu for a while, Wen Xin convinced her to eat well, and then ended the call.

Mu Chengxu sat opposite Old Madam Mu, observing her refreshed appearance, and couldn’t help but tease her.

“You really do play favorites. The moment you heard Wen Xin speak, you brightened up completely. We’ve been trying to console you, but you just wouldn’t believe us, really…”

“How could it be the same! Having Wen Xin personally tell me she’s safe definitely puts my mind at ease, but when you say it, I feel like you’re just trying to trick me into being calm.”

Old Madam Mu lifted her hand and gently pinched Mu Chengxu’s cheek, somewhat appeasing his disgruntled mood.

“Now that Grandma knows Wen Xin is safe, you can eat well, sleep well, and rest properly. Regain your strength for when Wen Xin and the others return. Otherwise, when Wen Xin sees how haggard you’ve become, she’ll be heartbroken too!”

“Indeed, Old Madam, Miss is right. After you’ve had your breakfast, you should take a good rest, awaiting the Young Master’s and his grandma’s return.”

“Yes, you’re right. I should eat more today and then rest well, waiting for Wen Xin to come back.”

Thinking of Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi soon returning, Old Madam Mu’s appetite soared. She tried all the snacks Mu Chengxu had brought, and she seemed much healthier in complexion.

Just then, Zhuge Jingming arrived with a medicine chest and saw Old Madam Mu eating, looking remarkably well in complexion, which surprised him greatly.

He had been quite worried about Old Madam Mu’s health, but seeing her current state was completely different from how she was a couple of days ago.

“Old Madam Mu looks much better today; did you receive some good news?”

Zhuge Jingming looked at Old Madam Mu and could roughly guess she must have heard some good news. Without a doubt, he knew it must be related to Wen Xin.

“Mr. Zhuge, you’ve come at the right time. Chengxu brought back a lot of delicious food from outside, why don’t you sit down and have some?”

Zhuge Jingming, observing the happy Old Madam, gestured with his hands.

“No need to be so polite, Old Madam, I’ve already had breakfast at home. You look in high spirits today; there must be some good news, right? Share it with me too.”

Indeed, Zhuge Jingming was very keen to know the news related to Wen Xin, but he was too embarrassed to show too much eagerness, so he tried to inquire indirectly.

“There is indeed good news. Mu Chengxi has found Wen Xin, and they are preparing to come back, it’s really wonderful!”

Old Madam Mu, thinking of this news, was so delighted that she reached out and grabbed Zhuge Jingming’s arm, then started to relay what Wen Xin had said to Zhuge Jingming.

Sitting to the side, Mu Chengxu watched Old Madam Mu’s cheerful demeanor, raised his hand to rub his temple, and let out a weary laugh, thinking that now he could finally rest properly too.

The Jiang family stood in the hospital corridor, looking at Madam Jiang sitting on the bench, all bearing expressions of unspeakable awkwardness.

Too much had happened in the Jiang family lately, and now with Old Jiang’s troubles, it was beyond exasperating.

“Sister-in-law, my brother’s situation isn’t looking good. If possible, we should consider sending him abroad. That way… the impact here in Beijing might be lessened. Otherwise, with incidents like this, it’s really…”

Jiang Dewei had been called back by Madam Jiang from the provinces, and upon returning to Beijing and hearing about Old Jiang’s affair, felt utterly disgraced; he could never have imagined Old Jiang doing such things.
