A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 697: Chapter 696: Master Xi Really Enjoys the Feeling of Being a Kept Man
“Master Xi, have you heard the divine doctor is back in business?” The caller was Ling Yichen. Both Mu Chengxi and Ling Yichen had been searching for the whereabouts of the divine doctor, so Ling Yichen’s people had been keeping an eye on the divine doctor’s movements.

When Ling Yichen mentioned the divine doctor, the first image that flashed through Mu Chengxi’s mind was Wen Xin.

Although he had never confirmed from Wen Xin herself that she was the divine doctor, when the topic of the divine doctor came up, Mu Chengxi always felt that it was indeed Wen Xin.

“What about the divine doctor? Why has he suddenly started business again?”

“I’m not quite sure, but I always feel there must be a reason for the divine doctor to resume business…”

Ling Yichen had not figured out why the divine doctor had suddenly resumed business. When he got the news, his first reaction was to inform Mu Chengxi. He had heard about Mu Chengxi’s search for the divine doctor before, but it later fizzled out.

“I remember you placed an order with the divine doctor before. Do you want me to help you inquire about it? What were you looking for the divine doctor for?”

After contemplating about Mu Chengxi’s situation for a bit, Ling Yichen thought that if Mu Chengxi was interested, he could try to get in touch with the divine doctor.

“No need, I no longer require the divine doctor’s assistance.”

Mu Chengxi casually lit a cigarette, smiled faintly, and wasn’t very interested in the affairs of the divine doctor. The only person he cared about was Wen Xin.

Hearing Mu Chengxi’s indifferent voice, Ling Yichen wasn’t too surprised and responded gently.

“You’re right, it isn’t really necessary anymore. With Wen Xin around, we don’t need any divine doctor. My grandpa’s condition has already improved today. When you have time, come over for a meal at my place, as a way to thank Wen Xin.”

As soon as Mu Chengxi heard Ling Yichen mention Grandpa Ling, he immediately thought of something. He glanced in the direction of Mu Bei and replied lightly.

“Sure, once I’ve dealt with my affairs, I’ll bring Wen Xin over to your place for dinner and to visit Old Master Ling.”

Ling Yichen seemed surprised that Mu Chengxi agreed so readily and was momentarily stunned. After a few seconds of hesitation, he finally spoke.

“I’ll definitely prepare a feast. Oh, by the way, when are you planning to leave? I heard that you aren’t only bringing a team from the Mu family but also a few researchers from the research institute. Are you sure you want to make a move? Did Ma Wenyuan agree to this?”

“Does it matter whether he agrees or not? From the day the research institute agreed to partner with me, Wen Xin’s was the name signed on the documents. Do I need Ma Wenyuan’s consent to use the institute’s researchers?”

Saying this, Mu Chengxi let out a light laugh, feeling as if he was almost relishing the notion of being supported.

Mu Chengxi’s words rendered Ling Yichen momentarily speechless. Although he did not know when Mu Chengxi decided to take this action.

Yet Ling Yichen had great admiration for the brazenness of Mu Chengxi’s nepotism; after all, not everyone could exploit connections so blatantly.

“Alright, you’ve got yourself a treasure of a girlfriend, you’re impressive. I’ll just wait in Beijing for your good news. Be careful over there—the business in F State isn’t easy to conduct!”

Ling Yichen was very familiar with the situation in F State. Its recent unrest had captured the attention of people worldwide, and actually, Ling Yichen didn’t think it was a good time for Mu Chengxi to go to F State. But sometimes, to catch the tiger’s cubs, one must enter the tiger’s den.

“Hmm, I’ll handle the matters in Independent State, you keep an eye on the situation in Beijing, Old Man Jiang has a plot of land in the suburbs, he is likely to make a move.”

“Also, keep an eye on Jiang Linyan, it might be a bit complicated in City P, but it’s not impossible to influence things. When the time is right, put some pressure on them, don’t let them develop too comfortably.”

Although City P wasn’t Mu Chengxi’s home turf, he knew that Ling Yichen still had some connections there, and creating a bit of trouble wasn’t out of the question.

“Hmm, I’ve also heard about the situation with Jiang Linyan, she does have some ideas, even foolishly thinking she can decide on Luo Qiete’s matters, which is quite naive.”

Ling Yichen thought about the reasons Old Master Ling sent Jiang Linyan to City P and felt that Old Master Ling seemed somewhat naive.

It was either that they overestimated Jiang Linyan or underestimated the ruthlessness of Luo Qiete, to think such a matter could actually succeed, it was laughable.

“Don’t underestimate the power of interests. This matter is also completely harmless to Luo Qiete, otherwise, he wouldn’t have arranged for his confidant to personally pick up Jiang Linyan at the airport. Don’t underestimate her worth, she might actually pull it off.”

Having interacted with Jiang Linyan for so many years, Mu Chengxi knew her methods well. She could swim like a fish in his circle and commanded respect, which was inseparable from her skills, so Mu Chengxi did not dare to underestimate Jiang Linyan’s capabilities.

After being reminded by Mu Chengxi, Ling Yichen also nodded in agreement. Mu Chengxi was right, Jiang Linyan indeed had her own methods, therefore, it was necessary to take these matters seriously.

“Hmm, rest assured, I’ll handle that situation seriously. When are you leaving?”

Ling Yichen glanced at the time and felt it was getting late; Mu Chengxi ought to be about ready to leave, right?

“In another hour I’ll be leaving. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first; I still need to call Wen Xin.”

Mu Chengxi originally wanted to see Wen Xin at the school before he left, but worried that seeing her would make him even more reluctant to leave, he suppressed the urge to visit her and forced himself to calm down.

After hanging up Ling Yichen’s call, Mu Chengxi dialed Wen Xin’s number. At this moment, Wen Xin was in the library searching for material, and upon seeing the call from Mu Chengxi, hesitated for a moment but then stood up and walked out of the library to answer the call.

“Hello?” Wen Xin’s tone was cool and soothing, which, when received by Mu Chengxi’s ears, added a touch of comfort to his restless mood.

His desire to see her intensified.

“Are you in class?” Mu Chengxi suppressed the impulse in his heart, leaned slightly back, and started chatting with Wen Xin in a gentle voice.

“No, I’m in the library looking up some materials. Are you about to leave?”

Wen Xin raised her hand to glance at the watch on her wrist and roughly estimated the time, feeling that Mu Chengxi should be getting ready to depart.

“In about an hour, would you be free to join me for dinner tonight?” Listening to Wen Xin’s lazy voice, Mu Chengxi simply couldn’t stay calm with the yearning to see her…

Wen Xin looked at the time and chuckled lightly, “Right now, you could come to the Jingda University cafeteria. I can join you for dinner; you should still have time.”
