A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 889: Chapter 887: Is it a Foster Father or Uncle? Leave the Choice to Wen Huai
 

Wen Xin was busy in the study until dinner time when the butler came upstairs to knock on the study door, “Miss, the kitchen has prepared dinner, have you finished your work, and is it convenient for you to have dinner now?”

The butler’s voice was not loud, and his tone carried a hint of cautiousness, worried that he would disturb Wen Xin who was at work.

Wen Xin opened the study door from the inside and looked at the butler standing outside, asking in a gentle tone, “Has my foster father woken up?”

“Mr. Jiang has been waiting in the living room for Miss, and the second young miss and the young master have also returned; they are chatting with Mr. Jiang in the living room.”

Hearing the butler’s words, Wen Xin lifted her hand and gently tapped her forehead, recalling that she had intended to call Xiao Mi and ask her not to come back today, to just go to the Mu family with Wen Huai…

The butler, seeing this action of Wen Xin, was full of confusion in his eyes and asked cautiously, “Miss, do you have a headache? You mustn’t fall ill at this time.”

“No, go on down, don’t let them wait too long.” As Wen Xin spoke, she casually closed the study door and went downstairs with the butler.

When she reached the corner of the staircase, she saw Wen Huai chatting with Mr. Jiang. Xiao Mi sat on the sofa on the other side, her posture languid and huddled on the sofa, seemingly enduring some emotions.

Hearing the sound from the staircase, Wen Huai and Mr. Jiang ended their conversation and looked toward the staircase; Xiao Mi also sat up from the sofa, looking a bit more spirited.

“Sis, have you come down?” Wen Huai looked at Wen Xin, a tender smile appearing on his usually cold face, seemingly transforming from a mature boy into a sunny young man.

Wen Xin walked over to Wen Huai and lightly draped an arm over his shoulder, but her gaze fell on Mr. Jiang instead, introducing him to Wen Huai in a gentle tone.

“This is my foster father, you can follow my lead and call him foster father, or if it doesn’t feel natural, you can also call him Uncle Jiang.”

Regarding how to treat Mr. Jiang, Wen Xin did not have many demands on Wen Huai, leaving everything up to Wen Huai’s preference, especially since her parents had only taken her to recognize a foster father initially.

Mr. Jiang looked at Wen Huai and Wen Xin, the brother and sister, and had wanted to suggest that Wen Huai could also call him foster father, but hearing Wen Xin’s words, he fell silent instantly. He could tell that Wen Xin was creating a distance between Wen Huai and him.

Wen Huai was a smart person; he still understood the meaning behind Wen Xin’s words. He addressed Mr. Jiang with respect and politeness, “Hello, Uncle Jiang.”

Upon hearing Wen Huai’s choice, Mr. Jiang’s face involuntarily darkened for a moment, but he quickly recovered to normal. He knew Wen Xin was a thoughtful young lady and no one could change what she decided.

“Hello, I came over in a bit of a hurry this time and didn’t bring any gifts for our meeting, but I will make it up to you later.”

As he spoke, Mr. Jiang put back on the bracelet he had earlier taken off, smiling gently as he looked at Wen Huai, speaking in a gentle tone.

Wen Xin watched his actions, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly; she clearly saw what Mr. Jiang wanted to do and was also aware of the significance of those Buddha beads. For a moment, she found herself unable to understand the old man’s intentions.

After introducing Wen Huai, Wen Xin’s gaze fell on Xiao Mi. She hesitated how to introduce Mr. Jiang to Xiao Mi when suddenly Xiao Mi stood up from the sofa and turned, walking towards the direction of the restroom.

Watching Xiao Mi’s departing figure, Wen Huai and Mr. Jiang were somewhat bewildered, only Wen Xin knew why Xiao Mi had such an attitude.

“This young lady has had an attitude towards me since she came in from outside, I shouldn’t have met her before, right?”

Mr. Jiang, watching Xiao Mi’s retreating back, opened his mouth with some confusion. He could clearly sense Xiao Mi’s hostility but did not know where it stemmed from.

“That’s just her personality. I’ll go check on her to see if she has been wronged at school. Foster father and Wen Huai, please go to the restaurant first.”

Before Wen Xin had thoroughly investigated Mr. Jiang’s identity, she did not want to expose Xiao Mi’s identity. She did not want Xiao Mi to be exposed to danger.

After hearing Wen Xin’s words, Wen Huai eagerly invited Mr. Jiang to dine in the restaurant. Mr. Jiang was very pleased with Wen Xin’s initiative and instantly ceased to concern himself with Xiao Mi’s matter, walking with Wen Huai toward the direction of the restaurant.

Wen Xin went to the restroom, and after lightly knocking twice on the door, she pushed the door open directly, then looked at Xiao Mi, who was sitting on the washbasin, and raised an eyebrow.

“Did you recognize Mr. Jiang’s identity?”

Wen Xin’s question confirmed Xiao Mi’s thoughts once again. Xiao Mi did not rush to answer Wen Xin’s question; instead, she deliberately lowered her voice to inquire of Wen Xin.

“The young master of Chou League, that’s you, isn’t it.”

Xiao Mi’s tone was not one of questioning, but instead one of certainty. She not only knew of Mr. Jiang’s identity but also ascertained the relationship between Wen Xin and the Chou League.

Looking at Xiao Mi, Wen Xin had no intention of denying her relationship with the Chou League. She nodded, “Yes, indeed he passed the Chou League to me, but now is not the time to explain this matter. First, let’s go to eat. Wait for me in the study, I will tell you everything you want to know.”

“However, until I have ascertained whether he is friend or foe, do not act rashly. After all, he is my foster father and has been protecting me for so long; I must show some consideration.”

Wen Xin looked at Xiao Mi, hoping that she could understand her words and not do anything rash.

Xiao Mi, seeing Wen Xin’s serious expression, hopped down from the washbasin and nodded at her, “I don’t have much to ask. Since you know his identity, you have to be prepared. I’d rather he be someone who is good to you; I don’t want you to struggle alone.”

As she spoke, Xiao Mi put her arm around Wen Xin’s shoulder and leaned to whisper in her ear, “Wen Yunuo has also been cooperating with him lately. I don’t know what they want to do, but Wen Yunuo chose to side with him at a time when he wasn’t trusted by the Old Fox.”

After Xiao Mi finished speaking, Wen Xin turned her head to look at Xiao Mi, her eyes filled with shock. She was not shocked that Wen Yunuo was cooperating with Mr. Jiang, but that Xiao Mi knew such a secret matter.

“Does the Old Fox know about this?”

“He probably doesn’t know; if he did, Wen Yunuo would have likely been gotten rid of by the Old Fox by now. The Old Fox does not tolerate disloyalty from those around him.”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After saying this, Xiao Mi let go of Wen Xin and turned to walk out of the restroom, while Wen Xin stood still watching Xiao Mi’s departing figure. She felt that she could not see through Xiao Mi anymore; she thought that Xiao Mi was not just a simple assassin anymore.
