A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 808: Chapter 807: Young Master Wen is Happy… He Can Protect His Sister Now

At seven in the evening, Mu Bei parked his car on time at the site of the Jiang family’s banquet, and Gu Yanzhe, Ling Yichen, and their group walked over upon seeing Mu Bei’s vehicle.

Mu Bei got out of the car and opened the door for Wen Xin, while Mu Chengxi opened the door himself and stepped out of the vehicle.

The approaching group halted slightly in surprise; it was the first time they had witnessed Mu Bei bypassing Mu Chengxi to open the door on the other side of the car.

When Wen Xin got out of the car, Mu Chengxi walked to her side. Wen Xin naturally placed her wrist on Mu Chengxi’s arm, entwining her arm with his as they both headed toward the venue together.

The group that had approached followed Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin quite naturally, collectively moving towards the direction of the banquet hall.

Upon reaching the entrance to the banquet hall, everyone’s gaze fell on Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin. The news of Wen Xin’s status as Mu Chengxi’s fiancée had already spread, and many weren’t too surprised.

However, the appearance of Mu Chengxi at the Jiang family’s banquet was quite unexpected, considering that he was known in Beijing for not giving face even to the water he drank. His presence here was truly an honor.

“My heavens, Master Xi’s girlfriend is so beautiful, isn’t she? I heard she’s the Freshman King of Jingda University. Indeed, men always have a thing for the young ladies.”

“Who’s to disagree? I heard that the young lady comes from a not-so-great background, some country bumpkin from the backwoods. But there’s nothing to be done if Master Xi likes her; she’d be like a phoenix rising to perch on a branch!”

“Stop kidding around, alright? She’s the genuine article, a true daughter of wealth. Ever heard of the physics research institute? She is the bona fide heir! You lot, when you’re munching on gossip, better understand it fully, instead of knowing only half the story and being clueless.”

While a group of people whispered and discussed Wen Xin’s identity, a cool voice came from behind. When they turned around, they were surprised to see a young girl they had never met before.

“Young lady, do you know where you are? Who did you come with? Hurry back to your family’s side before you cause trouble for them,” said one man disdainfully, looking at Xiao Mi. From her simple attire, it was easy to deduce that this young girl’s family status was probably not very high.

The gossiping group, sharing the same impression as the man, also looked at Xiao Mi with derision, impatiently shooing her away.

“What? You all can be at this banquet, and my people can’t?”

Wen Huai, dressed in simple casual attire, walked down the stairs. The aura he exuded was entirely different from the clean-cut young man they had previously known, casting an impressively authoritative air without showing anger.

“Wen… Young Master Wen.”

The appearance and transformation of Wen Huai gave off a dangerous vibe, causing those who had been making life difficult for Xiao Mi to unconsciously step back.

“You have time to spare but instead of courting resources, you find peeping interesting? Aren’t you curious about the identity of the woman by Master Xi’s side?”

As Wen Huai spoke, he paused for a moment, his eyebrows slightly raising as he looked at the few people opposite him, lips curling up with a subtly mischievous smile.

“No need to speculate any longer. She is Ms. Wen of the Wen family, Wen Xin, and also my sister.”

Wen Huai could proudly announce Wen Xin’s identity under such circumstances and felt extremely pleased.

His happiness did not stem from the fact that Wen Xin was with Mu Chengxi, providing himself a support in Beijing.

It was because he now had the ability to protect Wen Xin, no longer the one who needed Wen Xin’s protection.

A group of people observing Wen Huai’s expression, who had just looked down upon Wen Xin, immediately dared not discuss Wen Xin anymore upon recalling the former status of the Wen family, after all, they could not afford to provoke either the Wen family or the Mu family.

Seeing that these people had tactfully ceased talking, Wen Huai draped his arm over Xiao Mi’s shoulder and took her away from their circle, walking toward Wen Xin and her companions.

As they walked toward Wen Xin, Wen Huai leaned his head closer to Xiao Mi and gently reminded her.

“The social circle in Beijing is very complex, particularly because these people from Beijing don’t know you, so even if you hear something you’d rather not, remember not to talk too much and avoid unnecessary trouble for yourself.”

Xiao Mi turned her head to look at Wen Huai leaning in, imitated his gesture by raising her eyebrows, and smiled faintly, “I’m not afraid, with you and Ms. Wen here in Beijing, who can bully me?”

Although Xiao Mi did not know why Wen Xin and Wen Huai would take care of her, from their attitudes, it was clear that their indulgence toward her was boundless. So no matter what, she believed they would protect her.

Wen Huai looked at Xiao Mi’s proud demeanor, chuckled, and nodded, “You’re right, even if you tear the sky down, I’ll make sure you’re safe.”

Standing not far away, Ling Xu ‘Er stumbled unconsciously upon witnessing this scene. She had previously thought that Wen Huai’s attitude towards her was different from that towards others, but now, seeing how Wen Huai treated this girl, she realized that she was not the object of his favoritism.

Ling Xu ‘Er threw her glass on a nearby table and then ran away from the event. She couldn’t bear to see Wen Huai treating someone else with such tenderness.

Nan Xu walked out of the restroom corridor and saw Ling Xu ‘Er rushing away in haste, slightly puzzled, but she did not go after her.

As she turned around, she just saw Wen Huai remove his arm from Xiao Mi’s shoulder, but he still wore a tender smile on his face.

Witnessing this scene, Nan Xu instantly understood why Ling Xu ‘Er had abruptly left; it was undoubtedly because of the interaction between Wen Huai and the girl.

With this in mind, Nan Xu sighed softly, hesitated, and then chased after Ling Xu ‘Er, texting Ling Yichen as she went to tell him that she was going to look for Ling Xu ‘Er.

Ling Yichen lowered his gaze to look at the phone and then looked up just in time to see Wen Huai approaching from not far away, with a young girl following him.

Ling Yichen turned his head and gave Mu Bei a gentle tug, whispering into Mu Bei’s ear, “Who is that girl?”

Following Ling Yichen’s gaze, Mu Bei saw Wen Huai walking over with Xiao Mi.

“She is someone Miss Wen brought back. Her exact identity isn’t very clear, but she’s… not someone to mess with…” Mu Bei said to Ling Yichen with a secretive smile.

Seeing the mysterious smile on Mu Bei’s face, Ling Yichen’s brows furrowed slightly, feeling that something was amiss.
