“Brother Yu went to school to deliver something to Xingyue. He said that you guys were going to have dinner with Aunty and asked if we wanted to have dinner together, so we came over. Zhao Yuyao was going to come too, but he received a call saying that the Zhao family had a family banquet today, so he couldn’t come.”
“Yes, Auntie went to attend the celebration party. She can’t come over.”
Wen Xin nodded her head lightly, indicating that she understood. Her last sentence was meant for Mu Chengxi.
Mu Chengxi poured Wen Xin a glass of warm water and handed it to her. He replied softly, “Since Aunty isn’t coming, let’s order. After dinner, we’ll get Liang Luoyu to send them back to school.”
“Alright.” Wen Xin lazily took the menu from Liang Luoyu. lancing at Liang Luoyu, she suddenly remembered. “Did you know that Wei Shisheng came to Ice City?”
Liang Luoyu, who was drinking water, choked on Wen Xin’s sudden question. He coughed violently and said, “What does her coming to Ice City have to do with me? How would I know? I’ve already blacklisted her a long time ago and didn’t contact her at all. You should ask Mu Bei this question. Wei Shisheng is Mu Bei’s goddess!”
“Is that so?”
Wen Xin’s gaze moved away from Luoyu’s flushed face and landed on the innocent Mu Bei. Mu Bei looked at Wen Xin with an aggrieved expression.
“Miss Wen, I haven’t contacted Miss Wei since I was thrown back to the capital by Master Xi. I really don’t know anything about her!”
“Alright, I believe you. I saw Wei Shisheng backstage at the piano competition today. She’s Geng Qiu’s instructor. Don’t you think this is too much of a coincidence?”
Wen Xin flipped through the menu casually, her face expressionless. She spoke as if she was chatting, and no one could guess what she was thinking.
“Wen Xiaoxin, if you have something to say, just say it. How can we guess?
What are you trying to say?” Liang Luoyu was the most impatient of them all. He didn’t know what Wen Xin wanted to say.
“Nothing special. I just feel that there’s nothing good about Wei Shisheng and Geng Qiu being together. There must be something wrong with one of them, or both of them, since they’ve never interacted before.”
Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi as she spoke. Chengxi leaned lazily against his chair, his lips curled into a doting smile, his eyes gentle and tired.
“Who cares what she does? We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. Their painstaking efforts will be in vain if we don’t see what they want. We just have to wait and see the results!”
Mu Chengxi was very calm. He was never afraid of their little tricks. In his eyes, those tricks were not worth mentioning.
After dinner, they were not in a hurry to leave. Wen Huai sat beside Wen Xin, took out a tablet from his backpack, and handed it to her. Wen Xin frowned as she watched the video on the tablet.
In the video, it could be clearly seen that before Tan Xingyue entered the sports equipment room, Tang Luoluo entered it and forcefully pulled the cabinet in the room a few times.
“Where did you get this video?”
“I hacked into the surveillance room in the school network. Someone deliberately deleted this video, but I restored it.”
Wen Huai knew that Wen Xin had been rather busy recently and could not deal with Tan Xingyue’s matter, so he made a move.
Wen Xin looked at Wen Huai and raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly. “Not bad. You can still recover the video after so many days. It seems that you’ve learned your skills well. Post this video on the school forum and see what Tang Luoluo has to sav.”
“What do you mean? Why don’t we just call the police? This was clearly a crime of intentional assault! We can sue her.” Wen Huai could not understand Wen Xin’s attitude. If he handed the evidence to the police, the matter would be easily resolved.
“Tan Xingyue is only slightly injured. Even if I sue her, it’s just a dispute between some classmates. It’ll be settled after some mediation. There won’t be any results in the end. What I want isn’t that simple. This matter has something to do with Geng Qiu. I want her to bite Geng Qiu!”
Wen Xin met Wen Huai’s confused gaze and smiled faintly. She did not want the problem to be resolved so easily. Otherwise, why would she keep Tang Luoluo around for so long?
She had long known that Tang Luoluo was behind this. She even had a video of Geng Qiu looking for Tang Luoluo.
“The pressure of public opinion is too great. Tang Luoluo won’t be able to take it. When Tang Luoluo can’t take it anymore, she’ll naturally look for Geng Qiu.
At that time, you’ll see the result you want.”
After listening to Wen Xin’s explanation, Wen Huai understood what he should do.” I understand. Then, we’ll go back to school first. Aren’t you going back today? Old Yang said that you took three days off again. Surprisingly, Chu Jie was also in the office and made no sarcastic remarks.’
“I’m attending the finals of the piano competition on Saturday. I’ll get you some tickets. Wait for my news.”
Wen Xin lazily ate the durian thousand-layer cake that Mu Chengxi passed her. She looked nonchalant, but the corners of her mouth had a smile that no one could understand.
“Then we’ll go back first.” Wen Huai put the tablet back into his backpack. Carrying his backpack, he pushed Tan Xingyue’s wheelchair and left with Liang Luoyu.
After the three of them left, Mu Chengxi took Wen Xin’s hand and hooked his leg around Wen Xin’s chair, pulling her to his side.
“You’ve been avoiding me for the past few days…”
“No, I have to stay in school to accompany Tan Xingyue. I really don’t have time to come out.”
Wen Xin did not dare to look into Mu Chengxi’s eyes. Ever since that night, she felt that Mu Chengxi’s eyes would set fire to her. She could not stand it.
“Then say that to me!” Mu Chengxi hooked Wen Xin’s chin and forced her to look at him.
In the end, Wen Xin compromised. She threw down the fork in her hand and pounced on Mu Chengxi. She sat on his lap and kissed his thin lips. Didn’t he like to play? It would depend on who was the more cowardly one in the end.
He did not expect Wen Xin to pounce on him suddenly. He only frowned when he tasted the durian in his mouth and pushed Wen Xin away from him.
“You ate durian…”
“What, you dislike me for eating durians? I even ate that thing the other day, and you didn’t mind!” Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi provocatively. She did not believe that Mu Chengxi would dare to continue playing.
Mu Bei, who was at the side, covered his face and quietly walked out of the private room. These two big shots did not treat him as an outsider and could say anything.
Wen Xin noticed Mu Bei’s actions as he left the private room. She gave Mu Chengxi an evil smile. “Mu Bei seems to have misunderstood something..
“They misunderstood me long ago and even called me a beast behind my back.” Mu Chengxi gently patted Wen Xin’s butt and smiled gently.
About ten minutes later, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi came out of the private room. Mu Bei looked at Mu Chengxi in surprise. He did not expect his Master Xi to come out so quickly..
