A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Wen Xin joked and chatted casually with Chu Yunxuan, she knew Chu Yunxuan’s personality well, for her to speak so calmly and lightly with her meant that Wen Huai’s health must have really recovered and there was nothing serious to worry about.

“Please tell Wen Huai to act within his means when working.”

As soon as Wen Xin finished speaking, Chu Yunxuan looked at Wen Xin and hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking, “Young girl, you always give advice so readily to others, but why can’t you do the same for yourself? I hope you will also remember this phrase, to act within your means.”

As soon as Chu Yunxuan spoke, Wen Xin knew what she meant; she leaned back in her seat, assuming a boss-like posture, and looked at Chu Yunxuan nonchalantly.

“My current situation isn’t suitable for acting within my means, you know, Mu Chengxi has already started waging an economic war against Independent State for me, he’s planning to snatch food from the mouths of those people, he’s already begun to develop chips, do you think I can afford to go easy?”

Even Wen Xin hadn’t considered getting into the chip project; she was well aware of Independent State’s tenacious monopoly on the chip market, meddling with the chip business was like snatching food from a tiger’s mouth.

That was also the reason why Mu Chengxi cutting off the Raw Stone supply angered those from Independent State.

Now that Mu Chengxi had taken action, it was clear that Wen Xin had no intention of stopping him, so the only thing she could do was to eliminate some risky factors; only that way could they lower their risks.

Chu Yunxuan looked at Wen Xin’s serious expression and for a moment suddenly didn’t know what to say, she watched Wen Xin for a while and then quietly responded.

“Mm, I will relay your message to Wen Huai. Once I’ve sorted out my affairs here, I’ll return to M state, if you have any plans, remember to let me know in time.”

Chu Yunxuan looked at Wen Xin and had already made up her mind deep down. Since Wen Xin’s path was one with no return, then as her good friend, she couldn’t shrink back either. She was ready to accompany her all the way to the end.

She and Yan Qing would make arrangements together; since she couldn’t act within her means, then they would be her most staunch support.

From Chu Yunxuan’s eyes, Wen Xin saw her thoughts; she unceremoniously took the lollipop stick out of her mouth and tossed it into a nearby trash bin, with a faint smile.

“I still hope you all can trust my medical arts, I think that’s the simplest solution.”

“Wen Xin, you’re back, I’ve got your book…”

Just when Wen Xin and Chu Yunxuan were having their most emotional moment, Diwu Qixian suddenly rushed in from outside, holding a book in one hand and carrying three cups of milk tea.

“Hey, pretty girl.”

Chu Yunxuan, seeing Wen Xin didn’t show any signs of impatience with the sudden intrusion from Diwu Qixian, knew that this girl must be someone that Wen Xin approved of, so she took the initiative to greet Chu Yunxuan.

Diwu Qixian hadn’t expected to interrupt a phone call when barging in. She looked awkwardly at the image of Chu Yunxuan on the phone screen, and upon hearing Chu Yunxuan’s greeting, stiffly waved her hand in response.

“Sorry… did I interrupt you guys? I didn’t know…”

Diwu Qixian awkwardly turned around to face Wen Xin, who sat in a chair with a bossy demeanor, lounging comfortably. She stammered as she started to speak.

“It’s okay, I’ve finished saying what I needed to, what about my book?”

Wen Xin took a cup of milk tea from Diwu Qixian’s hand, put in a straw, and took a sip before she hung up on Chu Yunxuan’s call and looked up at Diwu Qixian.

“When class ended just now, I accidentally took your book. I’ve brought it back to you. Also, I heard…”

Seeing Wen Xin hang up the phone, Diwu Qixian returned to normal. She pulled a chair over to sit across from Wen Xin and started to recount the gossip she had heard in the library.

Chu Yunxuan looked at the disconnected call and let out a resigned chuckle. Wen Xin was always so cold and unfeeling towards her. Now, she’d even hung up on her call for the sake of a young girl…

Mu Nan entered and saw Chu Yunxuan sitting on the sofa with her phone, smiling wryly. He walked up and sat down across from her.

“Were you calling Miss Wen?”

Upon hearing Mu Nan speak, Chu Yunxuan was pulled from her thoughts and raised her head to look at Mu Nan sitting opposite her, involuntarily raising an eyebrow.

“What? I detect a hint of respect in your voice when you mention Wen Xin…”

Chu Yunxuan looked at Mu Nan, unconsciously wanting to tease him a bit because she had heard from Mu Nan that the people around Mu Chengxi didn’t seem to have a very good impression of Wen Xin.

“Of course I respect her. It’s not just about Miss Wen’s identity, but even just for the fact that she brought Master Xi out of Independent State. That alone is enough to change our view. Now, in Beijing, Miss Wen has become popular again.”

“Do you think we dare not respect the future matriarch? Master Xi wouldn’t annihilate us all?”

Listening to Mu Nan’s verbal appraisal of Wen Xin, it seemed not as respectful as she had imagined, Chu Yunxuan smiled lightly, hoping inwardly that they wouldn’t be too shocked when they realized Wen Xin’s true capabilities.

Chu Yunxuan stood up and straightened her clothes, “Where’s Wen Huai? Has he returned? I might be leaving.”

When Mu Nan heard Chu Yunxuan say she was leaving, he was slightly stunned. He thought she would stay awhile longer and didn’t expect her to leave so soon.

“Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Shouldn’t you stay a bit longer? Did Miss Wen ask you to go back?”

Mu Nan stood up anxiously. He wanted to say something to persuade her to stay but found himself at a loss for words as Chu Yunxuan stood there with her delicate beauty.

“I have other matters to handle. You and Wen Huai will be fine here. I won’t stay, just give me a call if you need anything. I’ll go upstairs to pack my things.”

Chu Yunxuan, seeing a rare expression on Mu Nan’s face, smiled faintly. She didn’t further tease Mu Nan, knowing that now was not the time for confessions.

Mu Nan stood at the bottom of the stairs, watching Chu Yunxuan’s retreating figure, feeling that something was off with her. The previous Chu Yunxuan would have taken every opportunity to be physically affectionate with him, but her calmness today felt rather unaccustomed to him.

While Mu Nan was lost in thought at the stairway, Wen Huai walked in, one hand on his waist.
