Chapter 661: Chapter 660 Forced to Accept an Undesired Outcome, Awaiting an Opportunity to Counterattack
Old Master Jiang closed his eyes and arranged everything he could think of, he did not want so many years of painstaking effort to go to waste with the Jiang family.
At this time, Jiang Linwen was completely unaware of Old Master Jiang’s good intentions. Upon hearing the news, upon hearing that Old Master Jiang was sending Jiang Linfei abroad, Jiang Linyan felt an explosive anger.
Jiang Linyan covered her injured cheek, and due to the missing teeth, her speech was somewhat unclear.
“What does this mean? Why would Grandfather suddenly send Linfei abroad? Doesn’t Grandfather plan to deal with the affairs of the Jiang family?”
“Eldest Miss, you have misunderstood Old Master Jiang. He naturally has his own ways of handling things. Today, Old Master Jiang personally visited the Mu family and had a conversation with Master Xi of the Mu Family. Although the content is unknown, sending the second Miss out is the result of Old Master Jiang’s careful deliberation.”
The person who came to relay the message passed on the words from the housekeeper fragmentarily, failing to mention the key points, and even said things that made Jiang Linyan even more irritated.
“My grandfather is determined to send Linfei away, right?” At this moment, Jiang Linyan had already calmed down. She felt that Old Master Jiang was afraid of Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin, which was why he made such a decision.
“That’s right, Old Master Jiang has already let Housekeeper Jiang arrange the school, and the second Miss can leave in three days.”
Hearing that she could leave in just three days, Jiang Linfei instantly lost her composure. She could no longer care about the dizziness from being hit.
She immediately scrambled out of bed and stumbled over to Jiang Linyan, clutching at Jiang Linyan’s arm and looking at her with a face full of woe.
“Sister, I already know I was wrong. Can you please not let me go abroad? Sister, I really don’t want to go, please save me, can you?”
Jiang Linfei grasped Jiang Linyan’s arm, shaking it vigorously, hoping that Jiang Linyan would speak up for her. She had never thought of going abroad and did not want to leave the comfort of her privileged life.
Looking at Jiang Linfei’s pleading face, Jiang Linyan felt nothing but annoyance and anger. She blamed Wen Xin for ruining her life, for if it were not for Wen Xin, Mu Chengxi and the Jiang family would not be in this situation.
“Is there really no room for reconsideration with Grandfather? Can’t there be any room for negotiation? Does he really have to do this?”
Jiang Linyan looked coldly at the man before her, her heart feeling a bit icy. She had never imagined that her grandfather would choose to give up on them in this situation.
“Alright, go ahead and do as Grandfather has arranged. Tell him that we agree to what he hopes to see, and we want to come home.”
“Of course, I will convey the eldest Miss’s request to Old Master Jiang at once and will get back to you swiftly with a response.”
After receiving a satisfying answer, the man quickly left the hospital and hurried back to the Jiang family, conveying everything Jiang Linyan said to Old Master Jiang without omitting a single detail.
Old Master Jiang was very pleased with Jiang Linyan’s response, and he promptly said to the housekeeper by his side, “Go to the hospital and bring the eldest Miss and the second Miss home.”
Once Housekeeper Jiang received the order from Old Master Jiang, he immediately arranged for a vehicle to pick up Jiang Linyan from the hospital. Seeing that Jiang Linyan did not harbor any grudges against Old Master Jiang over this matter, Housekeeper Jiang was very happy too.
Qian Meng sat in the study, still pondering why Moore had asked him to rescue Tan Xingyue. After investigating Tan Xingyue’s background, he realized that she was Liang Luoyu’s sweetheart.
But this realization made Qian Meng even more puzzled; he did not understand how Moore could have any connection with Liang Luoyu.
Liang Luoyu was a typical supporter of the Mu family faction and was inseparable from Mu Chengxi. It was impossible for him to have any ties with the Independent State.
Qian Meng leaned back against the couch, his thoughts involuntarily drifting back to Wen Xin. He knew that Tan Xingyue and Wen Xin were good friends.
Of course, he also knew that Liang Luoyu had met Tan Xingyue because of Wen Xin, but how could this prove Wen Xin’s relationship with Moore?
The man beside him watched Qian Meng’s worried face, and slowly approached Qian Meng, giving him a friendly reminder.
“Does Brother Meng still remember the incident at Old Master Ou’s birthday banquet when Wen Xin attacked the chairman of the Independent State?”
“If it had been anyone else, even Mu Chengxi, that chairman would probably not have let it go so easily. But it was different for Miss Wen. Not only did the chairman not pursue the matter with Miss Wen, but even when she hurt Wei Shisheng right in front of him, he didn’t utter a word of blame.”
“Doesn’t Brother Meng find the identity of this woman Wen Xin very suspicious?”
“Brother Meng, I think the problem this time may not lie with Master Xi but with Miss Wen. Ever since Miss Wen arrived in Beijing, she has never restrained herself.”
“Moreover, every person who has caused trouble has been punished, even the eldest daughter of the Wei family did not defend Wei Shisheng because of Miss Wen. Do you still think it’s due to Mu Chengxi’s influence?”
Upon hearing Qian Shan’s analysis, the scene when Qian Meng first encountered Wen Xin at the race track flashed through his mind. From that day on, he couldn’t stop thinking about Wen Xin.
Even though Wen Xin had left him unable to speak for months, from the bottom of his heart, he no longer resented her. Instead, he felt a desire to hold her in the palm of his hand.
“Are you saying that Wen Xin is related to the Independent State?”
With Qian Shan’s prompt, Qian Meng suddenly had an epiphany. If what Qian Shan said was true, Wen Xin’s arrogance came from her own power, not from Mu Chengxi’s courage.
“So Wen Xin…”
Just then, Qian Meng suddenly jolted upright, his eyes widening with a thought he dared not consider.
“She… couldn’t… she couldn’t be the missing young mistress, could she?”
When Qian Meng thought of Wen Xin’s identity, everything suddenly made perfect sense…
Wen Xin’s defiance and wildness were not because she relied on Mu Chengxi but because of the identity backing her…
Wen Xin dared to attack the chairman of the Independent State at the banquet because her status was even higher than Alfredo’s, and Alfredo could do nothing against her…
The sudden summons from Moore, asking him to rescue Tan Xingyue, was also arranged by Wen Xin. That meant she must also know about his identity and that he would have to protect her in Beijing henceforth.
If that was the case, the first thing he would need to do was to make peace with Mu Chengxi. That way, he could legitimately protect Wen Xin.
Otherwise, if he suddenly showed goodwill towards Wen Xin, he might not get the chance to take action before Mu Chengxi snuffed him out.
It was well known that Mu Chengxi’s possessiveness over Wen Xin was no joke.
Thinking of this, Qian Meng suddenly felt that his path was becoming increasingly difficult. Having to serve two ancestors at once… this was too hard, wasn’t it?
