Chapter 2111: Wen Yuan (5)

Yuan Muchun blushed. “That’s not true either.”

Bo Anxi didn’t say anything and just smiled.

Although she looked like she was teasing him, her heart ached for her good friend.

Although she was the second daughter of the Yuan Corporation and should be a carefree young lady who had grown up with no worries, in reality, other than her glamorous appearance, she had nothing.

Ever since she was young, she had always been Yuan Sichun’s foil. The Yuan family had given all their energy and favoritism to Yuan Sichun. They had practically given free rein to this Second Miss.

No one cared if she did well. No one cared if she was bullied or sad.

That little brother was the one she had told her the most and the fewest memories.

She couldn’t forget the happiness and yearning she felt whenever she mentioned him.

That was someone who would deliberately bully her until she cried. Then, he would turn around and buy her lollipops to cheer her up.

There didn’t seem to be much interaction between them. Muran said that it was a long time ago in the summer, under a tall banyan tree. That beautiful young man told her,

“If you’re bullied, cry. Even if you’re aggrieved, don’t tolerate it. If you cry, they won’t dare to continue bullying you. Only then will others notice you. Only when you cry will I know to give you a lollipop.”

But this was only limited to that summer.

However, this memory had made Mu Chun spend too many summers.

However, the little brother who told her to cry didn’t know that she hadn’t eaten a lollipop since that summer.

No one would care or feel sorry for her because of her tears.

Mu Chun was introverted, gentle, and even had a hint of innocence. He could only let go in front of her. Occasionally, he would jump around, making him look mischievous and mischievous.

But no matter what, she looked like a girl who needed protection and a sense of security.

She even looked like a crybaby who couldn’t stand being wronged.

But she rarely saw her cry.

Tears couldn’t wait for that lollipop.

“Muchun, I heard that there’s a dessert bookstore nearby. The books are quite complete. Even the tutor said that it’s not bad. Isn’t there a seminar in a few days? Let’s go there and take a look. Let’s go there in the afternoon. I heard that there are several leisure theme designs.”

Yuan Muchun was very interested. “Sure!”

The two of them walked side by side towards the school, but they didn’t notice that the window of a blue Lamborghini had rolled down. The man in the driver’s seat stared at their backs for a long time before he rolled up the window and drove away.

When she left the bookstore with Bo Anxi in the afternoon, it was already past four in the afternoon. The two of them were still unsatisfied.

“It’s not bad here, right? I haven’t read so comfortably in a long time. How’s the harvest?”

Yuan Muchun smiled and nodded. “The books are quite complete. There are actually books that I haven’t found…”

Bo Anxi looked a little smug. “This bookstore has been around for many years. I heard that it was founded by Sister-in-law’s mother when she was very young. I think she had it when she just started university.”

Yuan Muchun couldn’t hide her surprise. “So powerful?”

Bo Anxi nodded. “Isn’t there a saying that goes ‘like mother, like daughter’? Look at how capable Sister-in-law is. No matter how capable her mother is, I’m not that surprised anymore.”

“That’s true.”

The two of them chatted as they walked towards the school. Halfway through, Bo Anxi received a call asking her to go home. Before she knew what was going on, the chauffeur had already stopped the car in front of her.

Yuan Muchun knew that the Bo family hadn’t been very peaceful recently. Although she didn’t know what would implicate Bo Anxi, she still asked her to get into the car quickly.

Although Bo Anxi didn’t look too good, she still got into the car.

After watching Bo Anxi leave, Yuanmu Chun walked towards the school alone.

After taking a few steps, a dazzling blue sports car suddenly stopped beside them.

She moved to the side warily and the window was lowered. A young woman with exquisite makeup and imitation mink fur looked at them.

This woman seemed to be a university student in their school. She had heard a few juniors complaining about her in the canteen.

As she was dressed fashionably, the comments were probably about her being a kept woman. They often saw her being picked up and sent away by luxury cars, so they had some impression of her.

“Hello, Senior.”

“What’s the matter?”

She didn’t seem to have interacted with her.

The woman in the car was also puzzled as she turned to look at the driver’s seat.

Then, a face that Yuan Muchun had some impression of appeared.

“Sister-in-law?”

Yuan Muchun frowned and became even more vigilant.

“Mr… Zhuang?”

Seeing Yuan Muchun’s wary expression, Zhuang Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

“Sister-in-law, you don’t have to be so polite. Call me Zhuang Chen.”

Yuan Muchun didn’t have a good first impression of him at the hospital. From the looks of it, he had restrained himself.

Glancing at the woman in the passenger seat, Yuan Muchun couldn’t think of anything good to say about her.

He was a social jerk.

Thinking of how she had spouted nonsense at the hospital, as Wen Xuchen’s girlfriend, she couldn’t give him any face today.

“Hehe.” She laughed dryly. “What a coincidence.”

“Yes, is Sister-in-law going back to school? Get in the car, I’ll send you!”

“No.” Yuan Muchun rejected without thinking. “I’m not going back to school. I’m going home.”

“Okay!” Zhuang Chen replied before saying to the woman in the passenger seat, “Get out of the car first and walk back yourself.”

The woman pouted and whined, “No, my legs are still sore…”

Yuan Muchun pursed her lips, feeling disgusted.

However, Zhuang Chen’s face suddenly turned cold. “If I tell you to get out of the car, get out. Watch your eyes. Don’t be so shameless.”

Startled, the woman hurriedly opened the car door, not forgetting to carry a pile of shopping bags from the back.

The Logos were all big shots.

Then, she bent down and looked at Zhuang Chen reluctantly. “I’ll wait for your call tonight.”

Zhuang Chen nodded perfunctorily and said to Yuan Muchun, “Sister-in-law, get in the car. I’ll send you home.”

Yuan Muchun was speechless. This man was really difficult to deal with.

From the looks of it, he wouldn’t stop until she got into his car today.

“Actually… I remembered that I left something at school…”

Zhuang Chen smiled and said, “It’s fine. I’ll bring you to school to get your things before sending you home.”

This time, he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car to open the door for her.

Yuan Muchun was speechless.

“Then… thank you in advance.”

“You should.”

Yuan Muchun had no choice but to get into the car.

“I’m not going to school. Let’s go home.”

Zhuang Chen chuckled and said, “Sure. Where is Sister-in-law staying now?”

The car started and Zhuang Chen’s question was considered normal.

“I’m staying with Xuchen now.”

Yuan Muchun would mention Wen Xuchen whenever he could. Who knew if this jerk beside him would have any ulterior motives?

There was a moment of silence in the car. “Oh? You’re all staying together?”

Yuan Muchun felt that Zhuang Chen’s tone was a little gloomy. “Is there a problem?”

Zhuang Chen turned to glance at her and smiled. “No, I’m just a little surprised. I didn’t expect Old Wen to be so fast.”

Yuan Muchun laughed awkwardly.

“It’s still early. Why don’t I bring Sister-in-law to eat something first?”

“No, I have to go back and cook dinner for him.”

“Oh, how enviable. Let’s have a cup of coffee.”

Yuan Muchun frowned.

“I think Sister-in-law has some misunderstanding about me. I have to explain it to you properly. I hope Sister-in-law can give me this chance.”

“I don’t have any misunderstandings about you.”

“I think so.”

Yuan Muchun was speechless.

This man didn’t listen to anyone.

Not long after, the car stopped outside an upscale clubhouse.

Just as the two of them reached the door, a waiter greeted them with a smile.

“Hello, Young Master Zhuang.”

She was obviously a regular here.

Zhuang Chen cut to the chase and said, “Let’s find a quiet and elegant place to have a cup of coffee.”

The waiter quickly responded and led the way. They walked through the corridors and alleys and took them to the cafe.

It was indeed a cafe. The dark-colored interior design was simple and luxurious. It was indeed a quiet and elegant place.

Even the location was the most secluded and quiet place in the entire cafe.

“Sister-in-law, what do you want to drink?”

“Lemonade.”

Zhuang Chen summoned an attendant and gave the order.

Yuan Muchun was on guard. Seeing how familiar Zhuang Chen was with this place, she wondered if she had been led into a wolf’s den.

While waiting, Zhuang Chen sat opposite and sized up Yuan Muchun.

Yesterday, she didn’t take a good look at Wen Xuchen because he was in the ward. Now, she looked like a young lady who didn’t know how to hide her emotions and didn’t have any sense of propriety. It was obvious that she was easy to bully.

She was considered pretty, but there were many who were prettier than her.

At the very least, the woman who had always been by his side was much better than her in terms of looks and figure.

He had been blind to such a woman all these years, but in the end, he chose a little girl who was nothing but a burden.

“When did Sister-in-law and Old Wen get to know each other? I’ve never heard of him being close to any girl before. They’ve even reached the stage of marriage.”

Yuan Muchun tensed up instantly. Her mind raced as she tried to come up with a lie.

“He’s… my grandfather’s student. We… have known each other for many years. It’s natural for us to date.”

Zhuang Chen was stunned for a moment before his eyes narrowed. “You’re Teacher Su’s granddaughter?”

Hearing this, Yuan Muchun felt that this was indeed a lie.

“Yes. Are you his classmate? Are you also my grandfather’s student?”

Zhuang Chen’s expression turned solemn. “What a coincidence.”

Yuan Muchun was also a little surprised. So Wen Xuchen was really Grandpa’s student. “What a coincidence.”

“So you’re in university now because…”

“Oh, you’re in your second year.”

Zhuang Chen nodded and chuckled. “As expected of Teacher Su’s grandson. He’s a genius.”

“It’s mainly because I don’t have much ambition.”

Perhaps because Zhuang Chen was also her grandfather’s student, his attitude towards her became more restrained.

The two of them chatted for more than half an hour.

However, she was still wary of Zhuang Chen.

She felt that this person’s emotions were unstable. Sometimes, she felt that he was a little eccentric.

But in the end, nothing happened.

The two of them chatted casually before Zhuang Chen sent her home.

She felt that she was being petty.

Even so, she didn’t want to meet Zhuang Chen again.

*

Wen Xuchen probably wouldn’t come back tonight.

Yuan Muchun was stunned when he heard the news.

“If he doesn’t come back… where will he sleep?”

The butler merely smiled at her and said nothing.

That gaze made Yuan Muchun feel inexplicably stifled.

Enduring the discomfort, she went upstairs, but her mind was elsewhere the entire night.

The next morning, Yuan Muchun went downstairs to make breakfast.

But the servant stopped her.

Wen Xuchen really didn’t return.

She had no appetite for breakfast.

Bo Anxi wasn’t at school today, but the butler had already arranged a car for her.

She didn’t understand why she had been feeling gloomy and got out of the car at the entrance of the university.

A crisp slap landed on her face.

She staggered and held onto the car to steady herself. Then, someone threw a bag at her and she was kicked twice.

Everything had happened too suddenly.

No matter how fast the driver reacted, Yuan Muchun suffered a lot.

He quickly stood between the two of them and said to the furious woman opposite him,

“Miss, why did you suddenly hit someone?”

“Because she’s cheap.” The woman’s voice was sharp and her face was covered in exquisite makeup. “How dare she seduce my fiancé? Can you bear the consequences?”

Yuan Muchun felt as though her calf had cracked and the pain was excruciating.

She leaned against the car door, her pale face drenched in cold sweat.

The entrance of the school was already filled with onlookers. They looked at her with disdain.

Embarrassed and angry, she gritted her teeth and said angrily, “Who seduced your fiancé? I don’t even know who your fiancé is!”

The driver hurriedly said, “Miss Rong, there must be a misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding?” Rong Wen sneered. “If you don’t know my fiancé, you should know Zhuang Chen, right?”

Yuan Muchun froze for a moment. “… Not unfamiliar, but not familiar either!”

“You’re not familiar with him taking you to the clubhouse for coffee yesterday? Do you want me to get the surveillance footage for you?”

Upon hearing the word surveillance, the discussions became louder.

It was as if it was a surveillance video.

“I’m not familiar with him, and we’re not in that kind of relationship! He’s just my…”

Yuan Muchun didn’t know what to say. Wen Xuchen was nothing to her.

Back then, she had acknowledged Zhuang Chen as her sister-in-law because she didn’t want to have anything to do with him.

However, Wen Xuchen had his own life. When he didn’t return to the villa last night, she realized that he actually had a girlfriend.

If she continued to use Wen Xuchen as a shield, where would she put his girlfriend?

“But what? Let’s see what you can come up with!”

The laughter around them grew louder and louder. Yuan Muchun’s eyes turned red and her gaze was filled with forbearance. However, her voice didn’t sound confident.

“It’s just that my friend’s friend…”

“Ha.” Rong Wen sneered. “Even a fool wouldn’t believe this reason. Can you believe it?”

Yuan Muchun was in extreme pain and her face was pale.

“Believe it or not, our relationship isn’t what you think.”

“Now you know how to be a coward. What were you thinking when you seduced him? Let me tell you, stay away from Zhuang Chen. If I find out again, I’ll strip you naked and beat you up!”

Rong Wen snorted coldly and glared at her. Then, she turned around and walked to a bright red sports car. She stepped on the accelerator and left arrogantly.

The driver heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Yuan Muchun, who was already squatting on the ground. His pale face shocked him.

“Miss Yuan, get in the car. I’ll send you to the hospital.”

Yuan Muchun gritted her teeth. Her eyes were red, but she didn’t shed a single tear.

Hearing this, she nodded and got into the car.

On the way to the hospital, the driver called Wen Xuchen.

At this moment, Wen Xuchen had just sat down in the conference room. He looked at the people in the conference room with a dark expression.

Because the recent mission involved the Yuan family, they had been sorting out the business related to the Yuan family. Until yesterday, there were problems with one project after another. This morning, they brought out a few related people.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense. When his phone lit up, Wen Xuchen only glanced at it and ignored it.

When his phone lit up three or four times, he finally picked it up.

Before he could speak, an anxious voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

“Mr. Wen, Miss Yuan was beaten up…”

Wen Xuchen’s face darkened. “Where are you now?”

“I’m sending Miss Yuan to the hospital now. She looks unwell. She’s probably injured.”

The door of the conference room slammed. By the time everyone reacted, Wen Xuchen was no longer in the office.

*

Wen Xuchen sprinted all the way to the hospital. Yuan Muchun was already lying on the hospital bed. Her forehead and cheekbones were bruised and her right leg was wrapped in heavy gauze.

Seeing him barge in, a sense of grievance spread from the bottom of her heart. However, she controlled her tears and bit her lips to take a deep breath to suppress her emotions.

“You’re here…” Her voice was a little hoarse. She heard the driver call him, but she didn’t have the strength to stop him.

Wen Xuchen’s face darkened as he walked up to her. His gaze swept across her face and legs before he asked in a low voice, “Who did this?”

Yuan Muchun sniffed and said, “I met Zhuang Chen at the school entrance yesterday afternoon. He brought me to have a cup of coffee. Zhuang Chen’s fiancée thought that I was his mistress. Help me call Zhuang Chen over. I can’t suffer in silence!”

Wen Xuchen narrowed his eyes slowly and pondered for a few seconds. His voice was terrifyingly cold.

“I’ll look for it myself!”
