Seeing that Wen Xin didn’t show much interest in the matter, Ling Yichen didn’t initiate any conversation with her again. He just continued driving quietly.
As Wen Xin entered the airport, she could see an elegant lady standing beside Wen Huai from a distance. Her temples throbbed slightly. She could guess that Wen Zhimo had appeared here mainly because she was waiting for her.
The timing of Class 20’s arrival at the airport was just right. They began boarding shortly after entering. After casually exchanging a few words with Tan Xingyue, Wen Xin let them proceed with boarding while she stood watching them leave.
When the students from Class 20 had left, Ling Yichen walked over to Wen Xin’s side and stood half a step behind her. He spoke calmly, “I’ll take you back. ”
“No need. Someone is waiting for me.” Wen Xin withdrew her gaze, glancing in the direction of Wen Zhimo. She knew Wen Zhimo probably had something to discuss with her.
Following Wen Xin’s gaze, Ling Yichen also looked over. He had already heard about the sibling relationship between Wen Huai and Wen Xin. He speculated that the woman walking towards them probably had a significant relationship with Wen Xin as well, so he didn’t want to disturb them further.
“Well then, Miss Wen, take care. I’ll head back now.”
“Thank you, Ling Yicheng Ling.”
Wen Xin and Ling Yichen had only met a few times, so their relationship wasn’t that close.
After he left, Wen Zhimo approached Wen Xin’s side, her tone somewhat incredulous as she spoke, “Are you familiar with the four major families of Beijing?”
“Not really. I’m not very familiar with him. I just know him. Auntie is specifically waiting for me at the airport. You’re not going to ask about my relationship with the four major families, are you?”
Wen Xin lazily put her hands in the pockets of her coat, her dark eyes fixed on Wen Zhimo, as if she wanted to see through her.
“The other day at the Ou family, I unintentionally embarrassed you with a few words. It was my fault. I’ve been wanting to apologize to you, but I didn’t have your contact information… I’m sorry.”
Wen Xin was somewhat surprised that Wen Zhimo, who usually couldn’t stand her, would apologize to her. Her cold expression softened slightly.
“It’s not your fault. Back then, when you wanted to take me back to Beijing, I refused. Staying voluntarily in Ancient Town Square was my choice. You were right; I really am from a small place.”
Wen Xin’s feelings towards Wen Zhimo were somewhat complicated. She could harbor hostility towards everyone from Independent State, but towards Wen Zhimo, she felt genuine gratitude.
However, sometimes the barrier between the two was insurmountable, leading to Wen Xin’s rejection and distance from her.
“Let’s talk somewhere else…”
Wen Zhimo looked at Wen Xin with complexity. Wen Xin’s position in Beijing was something she had never expected. Because of this, she felt it would be even more difficult for her to persuade Wen Xin to return and take over
Independent State.
Moreover, in half a month, she would turn nineteen. She didn’t know how long Alfredo could continue to hold on to her, or how long the Elders’ Council would tolerate her.
What worried Wen Zhimo the most was that Wen Xin was actually together with Mu Chengxi. Who was Mu Chengxi? The Crown Prince of Beijing, but also the most unconventional person in Beijing.
Upon entering the car, Wen Xin didn’t ask where they were going. Since she got into the car with Wen Zhimo, she tacitly agreed to let Wen Zhimo take her away. She could accept wherever they were going.
Wen Zhimo frowned as she looked at Wen Xin, who didn’t glance at her. Wen Xin lowered her head, casually replying to messages on her phone. Among them was the message from Nan Xu confirming Geng Qiu’s whereabouts in Pochinki.
Suddenly, Wen Xin’s phone vibrated. She glanced at the caller ID, gently sliding to answer the call.
“Wen Xin, I just heard that Chengxi isn’t home, and you’re the only one at Zhi
Lan. Grandma asked me if you want to stay at the old mansion for a few days? You can go back when Chengxi returns to Beijing. Grandma is worried that you’re alone and might not like it. Auntie Fu went to buy seafood. Chengxi said you like seafood.”
Mu Chengxu blocked Wen Xin’s refusal as soon as she spoke. The seafood she liked was already specially prepared. How could she refuse?
“Okay, I’ll probably come over in the afternoon. I’m busy with something outside right now.” Although Wen Xin’s voice was still cold, a hint of softness could be discerned. This was already the greatest courtesy Wen Xin could extend to someone.
“Okay, give me a call when you come in the afternoon. I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up…”
Mu Chengxu sounded a little excited upon hearing Wen Xin’s agreement. They all liked Wen Xin very much, but hearing from Mu Chengxi that Wen Xin was busy preparing for exams, they hadn’t disturbed her.
“No need. Chengxi left a driver for me when he left Beijing. I can take the car back by myself.”
After chatting with Mu Chengxi for a while, Wen Xin reluctantly hung up.
Sitting next to Wen Xin, Wen Zhimo had been watching her all along. When
Wen Xin finished speaking, she coughed lightly, her voice gentle as she spoke, “Was the person who just called from the Mu family?”
“Yes, Chengxi’s sister…” Wen Xin propped her head lazily against the car door, her attitude lazy and casual.
Seeing Wen Xin’s attitude change drastically from before, Wen Zhimo felt irritated. The anger surged up in her heart instantly.
“Look at you, what’s with that attitude? You’re so impatient to talk to me, but when talking to someone from the Mu family, you’re so polite. Wen Xin, I’m your aunt, not an unrelated person.”
Wen Xin raised her eyes lightly, casting a faint smile. “If you weren’t my aunt, you’d be an irrelevant person. Do you think I’d be sitting next to you?”
“Just say directly what you want to talk to me about. We don’t need to beat around the bush. Also, don’t try to calculate when I’ll return to Independent Island. I won’t go back now, and as for Alfredo’s matter, you don’t need to persuade me. I’ve already accepted the Mu family’s engagement. I won’t acknowledge the engagement with Independent State.”
Wen Xin didn’t wait for Wen Zhimo to speak. She directly addressed the issues Wen Zhimo wanted to discuss. She wouldn’t compromise with them. She didn’t compromise when she didn’t have the ability before, and now that she had control, she wouldn’t compromise either.
Seeing Wen Xin’s stubborn appearance, Wen Zhimo could see her mother in her. Her mother was like this, unwilling to compromise in the slightest, which eventually led to disaster.
“Can’t you be a bit more accommodating? Have you forgotten the hardships you endured at Independent State when you were young?
Wen Zhimo didn’t want Wen Xin to be so stubborn. She believed that in Beijing, the Mu family had the absolute power to protect Wen Xin.. But outside of Beijing, could Mu Chengxi really protect Wen Xin?
