A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 666: Chapter 665: The Mu Family Announces Wen Xin’s Identity

Old Madam Mu placed her hand on Wen Xin’s, gesturing for Wen Xin and Mu Chengxu to go sit at the main table first while she headed towards the speaker’s platform.

Old Madam Mu was not tall, but her eyes were bright, giving off a vibe akin to that of Elder Lady She, inducing a sense of reverence unconsciously.

“Today is a special day. I welcome all Mu family members here to attend the family banquet. This banquet does not involve other clans, hence no interests are at stake; it is merely to maintain the feelings within our family,”

“Here today, I have a minor announcement to make. Starting from today, I will no longer be involved in any affairs of the Mu family. All matters will now be handled by the head of the family, Mu Chengxi. From now on, you all should approach Mu Chengxi for any issues.”

“As an old lady who has reached a considerable age, I will no longer partake in your affairs… I hope Mu Chengxi understands his identity and fulfills his role as the head well.”

“There is also another matter concerning the marital affairs of the head of the family, Mu Chengxi. I know there have been many speculations over the years about Mu Chengxi’s girlfriend and potential wife. I take this opportunity to introduce everyone to Mu Chengxi’s future wife, his current girlfriend!”

“Wen Xin, come up here,” Old Madam Mu called out to Wen Xin who was sitting in the main seat, looking down at her phone.

Hearing Old Madam Mu calling her name while browsing through group messages, Wen Xin hadn’t expected Old Madam Mu to call her; she looked up somewhat bewildered but soon regained composure.

Probably having prepared herself mentally, Wen Xin rose gracefully from her seat, lifted the hem of her gown, and walked up to the platform in her high heels. She stood next to Old Madam Mu and softly called out, “Grandma.”

Old Madam Mu held Wen Xin’s hand, looking tenderly at her, her eyes full of affection.

“This beautiful young lady is Mu Chengxi’s girlfriend and is the person who will marry Mu Chengxi in the future. I hope I no longer hear any unfounded rumors outside,” Old Madam Mu declared.

Those who had been gossiping about Mu Chengxi changing girlfriends were all stunned. They hadn’t clearly seen Wen Xin’s face before, thus mistaking the woman Old Madam Mu favored and Wen Xin as two different people, never realizing they were the same person all along.

Some quickly recovered from the shock and bowed their heads, acting as if nothing had happened, unwilling to acknowledge their earlier foolish thoughts.

Mu Jingang’s family and other families, except for Mu Jinsong’s, all watched the scene on the platform with outward calm, though they didn’t feel as calm inside.

But given the current situation in Beijing, while they were angry, they dared not speak out against Mu Chengxi.

“I don’t know what’s so good about that woman, just a country girl, and yet so favored by Mu Chengxi and Old Madam Mu, obviously a crafty fox at first sight!”

Mrs. Mu Jinsong, angry over Mu Jinsong’s matter, blamed Mu Chengxi, believing Mu Jinsong’s predicament was solely because Mu Chengxi chose not to intervene; otherwise, Mu Jinsong wouldn’t have missed the chance to appear at the family banquet.

“I’d advise you to speak less. When Jinsong can come out still depends on Mu Chengxi’s mood. Offend him further, and Jinsong’s return will be indefinitely delayed,”

Initially, Mu Jingang did not want to deal with Mrs. Mu Jinsong, but her constant chattering was too annoying, forcing him to speak up to prevent himself from being unnecessarily implicated.

After Mu Jingang opened his mouth with a warning, Lady Mu the Second wisely shut hers, but couldn’t resist taking a picture and posting it to her moments along with the caption.

“The prince of the capital is no longer available…”

After dining, the Jiang family returned to their respective rooms. At this moment, Jiang Linyan was still trying to figure out how to leak the ambiguous photo between Wen Xin and Chu Mufeng.

When Madam Jiang saw the post by Lady Mu the Second in her moments, her first reaction was to go find Jiang Linyan and show her the news.

Upon entering Jiang Linyan’s bedroom, Madam Jiang saw her sitting at the computer desk, busy with something.

“Linyan, are you busy? I have something I want to talk to you about…”

Jiang Linyan put down what she was doing, looked up at Madam Jiang, “What’s wrong, Mom? Is it about Linfei? Don’t worry, I have already spoken to Grandpa about Linfei’s issue, and he said he would send her to the best music academy…”

“No, it’s not that, look at this…” Madam Jiang knew about Jiang Linyan’s infatuation with Mu Chengxi, and she couldn’t resist telling her the news.

Jiang Linyan took the phone that Madam Jiang handed over and looked at it. Her brows furrowed tightly together, but she quickly seemed unconcerned and handed the phone back to Madam Jiang.

“I’m no longer interested in Mu Chengxi. I might have had some unrealistic fantasies about Mu Chengxi, but now I have completely let go of any thoughts.”

Jiang Linyan claimed she had no more thoughts about Mu Chengxi, but it was purely her pride stopping her from conceding; she wanted Mu Chengxi to realize later that the person who truly loved him was only her, and Wen Xin meant nothing to her.

Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Linyan, who was lowering her head and staring at the computer screen, feeling an indescribable pity. She knew Jiang Linyan was enduring everything. If it was so easy to let go, Jiang Linyan would not be so unsettled.

“Linyan, no matter what you want to do, I support you. I just hope you can stop being obsessed. Mu Chengxi is not your destined partner, and you shouldn’t miss out on your life because of him…”

Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Linyan with pity, hoping she could understand.

“Mom, you don’t have to worry about this matter. I have my own ways of handling my matters; you don’t need to be concerned about me. Spend more time with Linfei instead, she’s the one who is emotionally unstable. Take good care of her emotions.”

Seeing that Jiang Linyan did not wish to discuss more with her, Madam Jiang nodded and turned to leave Jiang Linyan’s room.

Just as Madam Jiang was exiting Jiang Linyan’s room, having just closed the door behind her, sounds of smashing objects came from Jiang Linyan’s room, causing Madam Jiang’s body to involuntarily tremble.

Jiang Linyan looked at the shattered computer on the floor, filled with rage. She couldn’t understand why Wen Xin could receive Mu Chengxi’s affection, and she had to just miss him, even though she was the one who should stand by his side.

After about half an hour, Jiang Linyan picked up her phone and dialed Qian Meng’s number. The call was quickly answered, and the sound of a noisy bar came through the other end.
