Chapter 872: 870: Delivering the Dirt on Wen Xin

So, when it came to this matter, Liang Luoyu was somewhat apprehensive, not quite sure of Wen Xin’s attitude.

“No need to rescue them, they’re just temporarily unable to move freely, once Wen Yunuo gains the Old Fox’s trust, they will be safely sent back. In fact, being there is much safer for Tan Xingyue than being back in the country.”

Wen Yunuo’s words greatly enlightened Wen Xin, who knew that Tan Xingyue was her weak spot and the person she valued most, thus she needed to find a way to keep Tan Xingyue in the safest place.

She thought a lot and concluded that perhaps the safest place was Continent M. She wanted to send Tan Xingyue to Continent M once she returned to the country, and as for Old Madam Mu, she would need to think it over. If she agreed, she would send them off together.

While a few of them were talking, Gu Yanzhe’s phone suddenly vibrated. He looked down at the phone, then, somewhat astonished, turned to Mu Chengxi.

“Master Xi, are you getting engaged to Miss Wen?”

Gu Yanzhe’s tone, due to the surprise, was somewhat sharp. He hadn’t heard anything from Mu Chengxi, and receiving the news that Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin were getting engaged was indeed incredible.

Hearing Gu Yanzhe’s question, as the person involved, Mu Chengxi was also stunned. He looked at Wen Xin incredulously, “Well, I can explain this, I didn’t know…”

“I know, it was something I agreed to with grandma.” Wen Xin looked down at the message she received on her phone, then slowly raised her head to look at Mu Chengxi, who wanted to explain something, her tone gentle as she began.

“That day you were not at home, grandma and I had a talk, she wanted to celebrate my birthday and, incidentally, settle our matter…”

“So, I agreed. What do you think…?”

As Wen Xin spoke, her beautiful eyes sparkled, causing Mu Chengxi to momentarily lose his focus.

However, this distraction lasted only a few seconds before he quickly embraced Wen Xin, burying his face in her neck and after a brief silence, he mumbled.

“I’m a bit excited… I don’t know what to say, but I am truly happy…”

“It’s good that you’re happy, you owe me a proposal. Once all this is over, I hope you can give me a perfect proposal, otherwise, I won’t agree to marry you.”

Wen Xin turned her head and pressed her face against Mu Chengxi’s cheek, gently rubbing against it. She knew that Mu Chengxi wouldn’t let her down, she was just a bit excited about a fancy proposal.

Mu Bei, who was driving, glanced at the couple in the rearview mirror, a happy smile spreading across his face. He had watched Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi come this far together, seeing them attain happiness was what he most wished to see.

Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi walked into the banquet hall that had been reserved in advance, and everyone inside stood up and applauded, congratulating Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi.

“Master Xi, congratulations, congratulations! Best wishes for a hundred years of good harmony to Master Xi and Miss Wen!”

“Wishing Master Xi and Miss Wen a harmonious marriage…”

“Then I wish Master Xi and Miss Wen a hundred years of good harmony, forever and ever…”

“We all wish you two, to grow old together and have children soon!”

Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi stood at the main table, receiving blessings from everyone. Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin sweetly glanced at each other, softly thanked everyone, and then raised their glasses to toast.

“Thank you all for your blessings. Everyone must attend the banquet that day, let’s make it a lively one!”

“Of course! How could we possibly miss Master Xi’s engagement party? We’ll definitely be there early!”

Everyone raised their glasses and followed Mu Chengxi’s lead to drink in one go. Wen Xin stood by, watching Mu Chengxi with eyes filled with tenderness, revealing an indescribable gentleness.

The news of Mu Chengxi’s and Wen Xin’s engagement also reached the Jiang family. Jiang Desheng, after reading the message on his phone, furiously threw the phone to the ground.

“Hmph, I had thought Mu Chengxi would end up with Linyan. Now, he ends up marrying a peasant girl. I don’t understand what the Old Madam Mu was thinking, allowing such a wild girl to enter the Mu family’s doors. It seems the threshold of the Mu family is really worthless!”

Jiang Desheng thought of how Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi looked at Old Master Jiang’s funeral and was very angry. He couldn’t understand why Old Master Jiang had reminded them not to provoke Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi on his deathbed.

These two without any backup, he really didn’t regard them highly at all. In his eyes, Mu Chengxi, having lost control of the Mu Group, was just a paper tiger with no real threat.

If he wanted to crush them, it would be very easy, not worth worrying about at all.

“Sir, there’s a young lady named Geng Qiu outside who wants to meet you. She claims she has evidence of Wen Xin harming others, and her mother is also Wen Xin’s mother… She also mentioned her mother is now missing, possibly killed by Wen Xin…”

Hearing Housekeeper Jiang’s description, Jiang Desheng’s eyes suddenly lit up. Wasn’t this a great opportunity? He had just been thinking about how to ruin Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi’s engagement party.

Now with such good news, it was a great opportunity to deal with the Mu family. He didn’t believe that Old Madam Mu would accept someone of Wen Xin’s background into the Mu family.

Soon, Wen Xin would become a significant stain on the Mu family… And Mu Chengxi would definitely be implicated. By then, Mu Chengxi would be disgraced throughout Beijing, utterly defeated… In that case…

He didn’t need to think about what would come after. As long as he could destroy Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin, he was very willing to hear the story Geng Qiu brought him.

“Quick, go bring in Geng… Geng what…”

“It’s Geng Qiu.” Housekeeper Jiang responded respectfully and reverently. Though he was old, he showed great deference to Jiang Desheng.

“Never mind who it is, just bring her in. I am very eager to hear the information related to Wen Xin she has…”

At this moment, the anxious expression that Jiang Desheng had just before had completely disappeared, replaced by excitement. At this moment, he seemed to have already foreseen the downfall of Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi.

Madam Jiang sat beside Jiang Desheng, elegantly drinking tea, and looked at a proud Jiang Desheng with some helplessness and softly sighed.

“You don’t have to oppose Mu Chengxi. The position Mu Chengxi has today is surely not just because of Old Madam Mu’s favoritism; he has his own means. Now that we have lost the old master, we are already tottering, and we can no longer withstand any more turmoil.”

Madam Jiang’s words immediately provoked an angry rebuke from Jiang Desheng, who felt that Madam Jiang was just being overly cautious.
