A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 668: Chapter 667: It’s no surprise, how much are a few lab rats worth?
“Brother Meng, I just want to say upfront, I’m not very talented, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without you. There might not be much we can help you with, but we can guarantee that we absolutely won’t hold you back!”

Hearing this heartfelt speech, the people around Qian Meng couldn’t help but burst into laughter, especially someone who had just taken a sip of beer and almost choked to death on it.

“I really appreciate that, that’s enough. I don’t have many demands on you guys, just don’t hold me back, and leave the rest. It’s getting late, I’ll take my leave now… Have a good time, I’ll pick up the tab today.”

Qian Meng raised his glass, drained it in one gulp, then stood up and left the private room.

On his way home, Qian Meng saw a familiar car outside his villa complex. He got out of his car, walked to the red Ferrari, and gently knocked on the window.

“What are you doing here?” Qian Meng looked at Jiang Linyan, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, and frowned unconsciously, feeling that her presence there was very abnormal.

“I’m here waiting for you!” Jiang Linyan rolled down the window, her expression somewhat unnatural. She hadn’t expected to run into Qian Meng here, and she cursed silently in her mind, thinking it was bad luck.

“Waiting for me? Do you even believe that yourself? Tell me, what do you really want me to do?”

Qian Meng did not like the feeling of Jiang Linyan clinging to him. He thought she was too calculating, like a poisonous scorpion, instinctively making people want to avoid her.

Jiang Linyan, meeting Qian Meng’s disdainful gaze, smirked coldly.

“You really change faces fast. You didn’t have this attitude when you needed my help. Forget it, I’ve always known what kind of person you are. Even if I, Jiang Linyan, misjudged you, I’ll handle this matter myself.”

As Jiang Linyan finished speaking, she didn’t wait for Qian Meng to react. Instead, she raised the window and drove away from Qian Meng’s villa.

Watching the direction of Jiang Linyan’s departing car, his somewhat hazy eyes narrowed slightly. “This woman… too dangerous… nothing good.”

Having said that, Qian Meng didn’t dwell on the day’s events. He turned around, returned to the back seat of his car, and drove into his villa.

On her way home, Jiang Linfei looked at the Weibo post she had already published. Her lips unconsciously curved into a slight smile, feeling very pleased with herself. Regardless of whether this incident would be traced back to her in the end, she was certain that Wen Xin wouldn’t have an easy time this time.

After the Mu family’s banquet ended yesterday, Wen Xin returned to Lanzhi with Mu Chengxi, as her vacation had ended, and she had to return to school this morning.

On her way back to school, Wen Xin called Tang Ming, the dean of the Physics department. She no longer wanted Qi Qian to study physics and planned to take Qi Qian to the Biology department instead.

Upon hearing Wen Xin’s unreasonable request, Tang Ming’s initial reaction was to disagree. However, since he was talking to Wen Xin on the other line, he finally reluctantly agreed to Wen Xin’s request with a heavy heart.

Mu Chengxi dropped Wen Xin off at school, gracefully getting out of the driver’s seat and handing her the backpack in his hand.

“Are you sure you want to stay in the dormitory?”

“Yes, I’ll stay at the school for a few days, I have some matters to handle. You should keep pretending with that leg of yours, recovering so quickly will make others suspicious!”

Wen Xin lazily leaned against the car, her eyebrows slightly raised, her face adorned with a faint smile, as she looked at Mu Chengxi, took the backpack he handed over, and pointed at Mu Chengxi’s leg.

Mu Chengxi nodded at Wen Xin’s reminder, then bent down, supporting himself on the car with one hand and gently kissed Wen Xin’s slightly pursed red lips, then spoke gently.

“All right, go ahead. Remember to call me if anything comes up. If you miss me, I’ll come over to pick you up.”

“Mm, okay, I’ll head in now.”

Wen Xin straightened Mu Chengxi’s jacket, then tiptoed and pecked gently at the corner of Mu Chengxi’s lips, then, holding her backpack, she turned and walked toward the school.

Wen Xin didn’t head towards the classrooms or dormitories upon entering the school; instead, she directly entered the administrative building of Jingda University to find Tang Ming.

Wen Xin gently knocked twice on the door of Tang Ming’s office, and a stern voice came from inside: “Come in.”

Hearing the voice inside, Wen Xin gently pushed open the office door and walked into Tang Ming’s office, where there was another visitor inside, Ma Wenyuan.

After seeing Ma Wenyuan, Wen Xin wasn’t too surprised, merely slightly raised her eyebrows, then walked over to where Ma Wenyuan was sitting, pulled a chair next to him, and sat down beside him.

“What brought you here today? How is Sun Ning doing in the Biological Laboratory?”

Speaking of Sun Ning, Ma Wenyuan’s expression was rather indescribable.

“Miss, do you know what your friend is experimenting on? He actually asked me to prepare an animal cremation furnace for him, using a batch of white mice every day. You have no idea, the daily consumption of white mice is enough for one third of the entire laboratory’s daily use. It’s really strange.”

Listening to Ma Wenyuan’s exasperated complaints, Wen Xin, unfazed, raised her eyebrows, “I’ve already said that I would cover all the expenses for his experiments. What are you worried about? It’s not coming out of your lab’s funds, and a few white mice don’t cost that much money.”

Wen Xin looked at Ma Wenyuan indifferently, thought for a moment, then spoke in a gentle tone, “Has anyone from the lab been causing trouble recently?”

“No, recently Old Dong has not been in good health, and the others in the lab have been busy with their own matters, so far no one has caused any trouble.”

Ma Wenyuan didn’t have a good impression of Old Dong, who was difficult to get along with and had come from Independent State with an innate arrogance.

Previously, after the Wen couple’s incident, Old Dong and people from the Biological Laboratory had caused some trouble; if it hadn’t been for Ma Wenyuan standing firm under pressure, the lab might have become part of Independent State by now, with a new person in charge coming in to take over.

“Miss, are you really not planning to meet Old Dong? Although that old man is stubborn, he has been dedicated to the Biological Laboratory for many years. Maybe you should visit him; his health…”

“You should go find Sun Ning about his health issues, tell him I sent you. I don’t want to see him right now, let’s wait until he’s better.”

Wen Xin knew what Ma Wenyuan wanted to say, but she couldn’t let go of that bit of aversion in her heart. She didn’t want to recall those past events; if it weren’t necessary, she’d avoid dealing with both physics and biology.

But life always forces our hand, yet she still needed some mental preparation.
