Chapter 2114  : Wen Yuan (8) Wen Xuchen had rarely seen her so indignant.

There weren’t many people like her. After thinking about it, it was probably the Yuan family.

Wen Xuchen pulled her to the sofa and asked casually,

“You want to attend the business banquet?”

“You also know that Yuan Sichun is holding a business banquet?”

Wen Xuchen said calmly, “Your sister has made such a big fuss about the Yuan family recently. It’s hard for someone not to know.”

Yuan Muchun snorted coldly and said, “It’s only a matter of time before the Yuan Corporation runs out of luck. I don’t know where this old bastard came from, but he actually invested a huge sum of money into the Yuan Corporation.”

Wen Xuchen: “… Old bastard?”

“That’s 30 billion yuan! If you don’t live until you’re as old as a turtle, where will you get so much money?!”

Wen Xuchen was speechless.

“Is there something wrong with this person’s eyes or brain? Who would do such a stupid thing?”

Wen Xuchen pursed his lips and said, “Actually, you don’t have to be so angry. If even you can understand, it’s inevitable that the person who can fork out 30 billion can’t either.”

“I can’t think of why he suddenly interfered!”

Wen Xuchen didn’t want to continue this topic.

*

The business banquet was quite grand.

Yuan Muchun was dressed to the nines.

She saw Yuan Sichun’s resentful gaze as she sat in the wheelchair.

She felt a sense of satisfaction.

She had schemed to get everything, but in the end, she had ruined herself.

So what if she got that astronomical investment today?

She still held the shares that they had been eyeing for many years.

Even if the Yuan Corporation would survive this ordeal and she couldn’t protect her shares, she would sell them.

It wouldn’t be easy to gain a foothold in the Yuan Corporation.

It was just that she had never expected…

When she confronted Yuan Sichun and her father in public and almost got slapped by her father, C realized that the person who had invested 30 billion yuan in the Yuan Corporation was Wen Xuchen.

No one could understand her shock and anger.

She couldn’t accept it.

He knew that she didn’t want to see the Yuan Corporation revive.

“So you’re that old bastard!”

“Why didn’t I poison you with instant noodles back then?!”

She was furious and her red eyes were filled with tears. She grabbed his hand and bit him hard to vent her anger.

Everyone was puzzled. As the second daughter of the Yuan family, why did she look like she wanted the Yuan family to be doomed?

Yuan Zhengchong and Yuan Sichun’s faces darkened.

Yuan Muchun glared at Wen Xuchen before turning to leave.

In the end, Wen Xuchen pulled her into his embrace.

No one knew what was going on.

Yuan Muchun buried her face in the man’s embrace. Her nose was sore and painful, and tears streamed down her face.

“What are you doing?!”

Did he bring her to buy a gown and dress up like this just to make her a joke?

Wen Xuchen’s large hand suddenly grabbed the back of her neck and pinched her face, forcing her to look up at him.

“Are you crying?”

His gaze landed on Yuan Muchun’s eyes and a smile appeared on his lips. His voice was gentle and gentle, filled with unconcealed affection.

He raised the hand that she had bitten and there were two rows of clear bite marks.

“The old injuries are still there, but there are new injuries. Where do you want to go?”

“You deserve it!”

“Why don’t I pursue the legal responsibility?”

Yuan Muchun’s eyes widened. “…”

It would be embarrassing to be imprisoned in front of the Yuan family.

Seeing that Yuan Muchun was forced to settle down, Wen Xuchen smiled.

His hand slid to her waist again and he flipped her around in his embrace. His actions were intimate and ambiguous.

Yuan Muchun had never had such intimate contact with a man in front of so many people. Her ears were as red as a pair of ripe chili peppers.

The corners of Wen Xuchen’s lips twitched as he leaned over and whispered into her ear. His deep voice carried a faint smile.

“Be good. I’ll settle scores with you when we get home.”

His warm breath landed on Yuan Muchun’s ears. She shrank her neck, but she couldn’t escape the man’s grip.

Wen Xuchen looked in surprise at his ears, which had turned even redder.

Her eyebrows moved imperceptibly, and her eyes were filled with interest.

Their intimate actions and ambiguous words showed how unusual the relationship between the man and woman was.

Wen Xuchen’s unusual intimacy made Yuan Muchun gradually calm down.

Could it be that… he had a reason for doing so?

The money he invested was exchanged for 30% of the Yuan family’s shares.

She still had some shares. Combined, he was the biggest shareholder of the Yuan family.

So, was he actually helping her?

An Xi said, “Be careful of what this man wants from her?”

So, was he after her shares?

Her heart skipped a beat before she tried to suppress it.

It didn’t matter. Instead of giving it to Yuan Sichun, she might as well give it to him!

Wen Xuchen led Yuan Muchun to a seat and the three of them stared at them.

They couldn’t even be bothered to hide their intentions.

Turning his head to look at the frowning woman, Wen Xuchen chuckled.

“Your father, stepmother, and sister seem to be looking at me too enthusiastically. Do you know what they’re thinking?”

Yuan Muchun looked up coldly and indeed, she saw their earnest gazes.

Disgusting.

She retracted her gaze in disgust and turned to look at Shen Fanxing.

“Sister-in-law…”

Shen Fanxing rested her arm on the armrest and looked down at her long nails. She said softly,

“You can roughly understand your sister’s character. Other than making me feel uncomfortable, the only thing she cares about now is the company. She doesn’t have many shares now. She won’t be able to get the shares you have for a while, but Mr. Wen has 30% of the shares…”

Yuan Muchun frowned deeply.

“She actually has designs on Wen Xuchen’s shares?”

“Otherwise, how do you think she can stabilize her position in the Yuan Corporation?”

“But what does the shares in his hands have to do with her? What right does she have to covet them?”

Shen Fanxing smirked and said, “It has nothing to do with her and you…”

Yuan Muchun was stunned. “What has that got to do with me?”

Shen Fanxing looked at the additional investment on the screen and sighed softly.

“His actions tonight have something to do with you.”

Yuan Muchun blinked and two seconds later, her eyes were filled with anger.

“Shameless indeed.”

Shen Fanxing chuckled softly and said, “Shameless people have similar ideas.”

Yuan Muchun was so angry that his head was spinning. He turned to look at Wen Xuchen and said, “Great, you’ve invested in a wife for yourself. Now that you’ve been targeted, they’ll definitely think of ways to force me to marry you.”

Wen Xuchen pursed his lips and beckoned to the waiter. “Help me invite Mr Yuan over.”

Yuan Muchun asked, “What are you doing?”

Wen Xuchen said, “Didn’t you say that I want to invest in a wife? Why do they have to work so hard? Why don’t I discuss our marriage with them now?”

“You…”

Yuan Muchun was dumbfounded and her face turned unbelievably red.

“What are you surprised about? Didn’t you respond when someone called you sister-in-law?”

Before Yuan Muchun could say anything, Yuan Zhengchong had already walked over. “Mr. Wen, what’s the matter?”

Wen Xuchen nodded and went straight to the point.

“If I say that I want to marry your second daughter, do you have any requests?”

Yuan Zhengchong was caught off guard, but he was secretly happy.

Whatever came to her mind.

“Why don’t we talk after the banquet?”

Wen Xuchen shook his head. “I’m afraid I won’t want to marry after tonight.”

Yuan Muchun clenched her fists.

Yuan Zhengchong’s heart tightened. “In that case, I don’t want the rest. I only want the 30% shares in your hands.”

“Yuan Zhengchong!”

Before Yuan Zhengchong could finish speaking, Yuan Muchun stood up from his seat.

Everyone’s attention was instantly attracted.

Yuan Zhengchong didn’t expect Yuan Muchun to flare up and was caught off guard.

When he regained his senses, he realized that everyone in the banquet hall was looking at him with different expressions.

Yuan Muchun was so angry that his face turned pale and his body trembled. His mouth opened and closed for a long time before he finally spoke again!

“… Are you really my father?!”

Yuan Zhengchong said angrily, “How dare you! Of course I’m your father… Are you done with your nonsense?!”

“You’re my father? Then did he mean to marry me? That’s true. I can sell 30% of the Yuan Corporation’s shares in one night. You can’t wait!”

Everyone’s gazes landed on him, and Yuan Zhengchong felt ashamed.

“You… Do you really want the Yuan family to be destroyed?”

“Yes, no one in the world wants the Yuan Corporation to be destroyed more than me! If it wasn’t for the wealth and power of the Yuan Corporation, Ye Zhiqing wouldn’t have coveted the position of Mrs Yuan. My mother wouldn’t have died because of her!

You clearly know… that my mother’s death is related to her, but you ignored it!

You protected the murderer who killed your wife and my mother! All of you are guilty! Now, you even want to sell me for the murderer’s child in exchange for the company’s shares… Yuan Zhengchong, you’re not my father. You have no right to be my father! Everything is because of the Yuan Corporation!

You’ve caused my mother’s death, and now you want to persecute me? Let me tell you, it’s impossible. It’s impossible ever! If it weren’t for the Yuan Corporation, nothing would have happened! So it’s best if the Yuan Corporation is destroyed! If it’s destroyed, everything will be fine!”

Yuan Muchun’s hysterical words frightened Ye Zhiqing so much that her face turned pale.

“Zhengchong! Zhengchong! Muchun is crazy, she’s crazy! Get someone to get her out!”

Yuan Muchun sneered and looked at Ye Zhiqing with cold and calm eyes.

“For the sake of being the wife of a wealthy family, you’ve turned yourself into a murderer! Ye Zhiqing, you’re the lunatic! And you, Yuan Zhengchong, you’ve been sleeping with a murderer for so many years. Have you never worried that this woman will stab you to death in the middle of the night?”

Yuan Zhengchong shuddered, his body turning cold from Yuan Muchun’s words.

“You…”

“Alright.” Wen Xuchen, who was sitting at the side, suddenly spoke. He stood up and pulled Yuan Muchun into his embrace. “Don’t make a fuss first. It’s not too late for you to flare up after the banquet.”

“Let go of me! You’re the busybody. Otherwise, the Yuan Corporation would have been gone long ago!”

Tonight, Wen Xuchen had completely witnessed the potential of this little lamb.

Now, she had the guts to bare her fangs.

“Alright, stop fooling around…”

Feeling helpless, Wen Xuchen reached into his pocket and took out a lollipop. He peeled off the wrapper and handed it to Yuan Muchun.

“If you have the strength, why don’t you save it for candy? Hmm?”

“It tastes like honey. Open your mouth.”

Yuan Muchun stared at the lollipop in silence for a long time before her eyes turned red again. She calmed down again.

In the end, she opened her mouth and swallowed the candy.

Everyone was puzzled.

How could this be?

Yuan Muchun didn’t believe that the person who would give her a lollipop anytime after she cried would really disappoint her.

Yuan Zhengchong didn’t delay any further. After exchanging a few blows with Wen Xuchen, he said again,

“I agree to marry Mu Chun to you for 30 billion yuan! In the future, if the Yuan Corporation needs help, I hope you can take care of them. After all, you’re also the son-in-law of the Yuan Corporation. Most importantly, you’re the biggest shareholder of the Yuan Corporation…”

Wen Xuchen shook his head and said, “You might have misunderstood something. I spent 30 billion to buy Yuan Muchun. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Yuan family. As for the biggest shareholder of the Yuan family… I’m sorry, it’s not me.”

Yuan Zhengchong was stunned and looked at Wen Xuchen suspiciously.

“What… do you mean?”

The smile on Wen Xuchen’s face disappeared, replaced by coldness.

“I have no right to interfere with the 30% shares because they are no longer with me. Therefore, I’m not the biggest shareholder of the Yuan Corporation…”

The muscles on Yuan Zhengchong’s face twitched violently.

“You…”

“What about the shares you have?”

Yuan Zhengchong’s words were interrupted by Yuan Sichun’s questioning voice. Following the direction of the voice, Yuan Sichun’s face was terrifyingly ferocious. The way she looked at Wen Xuchen could almost pierce through a person.

Wen Xuchen sneered. “Sell it.”

“Who did she sell it to?!”

Finally, Shen Fanxing got her answer.

Yuan Muchun was surprised for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

Although the process was unexpected, the outcome was expected.

Sister-in-law had long said that she wanted the Yuan Corporation. She had spoken so confidently and was determined to get it. This outcome was indeed not surprising.

Yuan Sichun almost went crazy.

She had personally organized a business banquet to show off to Shen Fanxing. It became the stage where Shen Fanxing defeated her.

The Yuan family had changed hands.

She had lost completely and become another huge joke.

The banquet ended.

Yuan Muchun stood in the backyard in a daze, waiting for Wen Xuchen to drive over.

Bo Jinchuan walked out with Shen Fanxing in his arms.

“Mumun.” Shen Fanxing stopped beside her and called her softly.

Yuan Muchun was still in a daze. “Sister-in-law…”

Shen Fanxing nodded and said in a clear voice, “The Yuan Corporation will be fine. Since it’s already mine, I won’t let it suffer a loss.”

Take good care of the shares in your hands. If you have any plans to enter the company, you can tell me anytime.

In fact, I don’t think the Yuan Corporation will be worse in my hands than in Yuan Sichun’s. Of course, if you feel that your surname is Yuan and you can’t bear to see your company fall into the hands of others, you can…”

“Sister-in-law,” Yuan Muchun interrupted Shen Fanxing, “You’re right. I’ve thought about this from the start. I don’t have the ability to manage the company, and I feel that it’s best for the Yuan Corporation to be managed by capable people like you. Moreover, I still have 30% of the shares. With you guys around, I don’t have to do anything in my life…”

“Others might think that I’m stupid, but I think that’s the smartest choice.”

Hearing this, Shen Fanxing smiled and her gaze swept across the exit of the garage. She went forward to tuck Yuan Muchun’s hair behind her shoulders.

“Muchun, girls don’t have to be strong. There are people who are worth relying on. They’re willing to let you rely on them and protect you for the rest of your life. They want you to cry and make a fuss. This is something that many people can’t get even if they spend their entire life.”

Yuan Muchun nodded, not understanding why her sister-in-law would suddenly say this to her.

She rarely had the chance to talk to her.

Shen Fanxing smiled and said, “I actually have my doubts too. I know that you have some ties with Wen Xuchen in the past and that you’re Grandpa and Grandma’s favorite student. No matter what, he should protect you. In fact, he did do that.”

“However, in terms of wealth, I think it’s not difficult for Wen Xuchen to obtain 30% of the Yuan Corporation’s shares. Or rather, he can buy the shares and give them to you. However, he gave the shares to me…”

“Have you ever thought that even though he has been involved in the Yuan Corporation, it has nothing to do with him?”

Yuan Muchun blinked.

Thinking about it carefully, that was indeed the case.

Not only was Wen Xuchen involved, but he was also the mastermind behind this matter.

But in the end, he didn’t get anything.

“I wonder what he wants…”

Shen Fanxing didn’t answer her question and simply replied,

“Emotions are probably the most important thing in this world.”

Yuan Muchun watched quietly as Bo Jinchuan left with Shen Fanxing. She bit her lips lightly.

*

Wen Xuchen arranged work arrangements with Wu Sheng. When he came out, he didn’t see Yuan Muchun.

It took him more than ten minutes to find her at the fountain in the center of the hotel square.

The air was damp and cold, and it was colder beside the fountain than elsewhere. Yuan Muchun was wearing a jacket and her hands were wrapped in her arms. Her head was on her knees and she was curled up.

Anger rose in Wen Xuchen’s heart for no reason.

“Yuan Muchun.”

The sudden voice made the girl’s body stiffen. Then, she slowly raised her head to look at the tall man standing beside her.

Wen Xuchen narrowed his eyes slowly.

He had just prepared himself for a sad face.

He thought that she was probably hiding alone because of the Yuan family’s actions tonight.

Unexpectedly, her eyes were filled with confusion and unknown nervousness.

“You don’t know it’s cold?”

Yuan Muchun grabbed the hem of his windbreaker and called out to him softly.

“Brother Xu.”

“What’s wrong?” Wen Xuchen looked down at the corner of his shirt.

“You…”

Shen Fanxing’s words echoed in her ears. She wasn’t stupid and could tell who she was referring to.

In reality, the only person she could rely on and cry with was Wen Xuchen.

She didn’t have to think too much.

But what did that mean?

What if he was simply taking care of her?

Because he was her grandparents’ favorite student, they had entrusted him to take care of her in the future.

Because he was Brother Xu, and she was a sister who would be coaxed with a lollipop.

His unusual intimacy with her tonight was just a show for the Yuan family.

The longing and anticipation she had for him since she was young had already changed.

If she accidentally misunderstood something and took a step forward to break the balance between the two of them, would he push her far away like he did with Zhu Zan?

No, she didn’t want to.

She tightened her grip on his shirt.

“Brother Xu, thank you for tonight. I even misunderstood you and lost my temper with you. I’m sorry. Ever since you came back, I’ve been causing you trouble. Anyway, I don’t have anything to give you. Why don’t… I go back and cook a bowl of noodles for you?”

Wen Xuchen paused and snorted lightly, not hiding his disdain.

“Are you sure you’re not repaying kindness with ingratitude?”

Yuan Muchun laughed. “How can that be?”

With that, she stood up and said, “Let’s go. I’ll give you two more poached eggs.”

On the way back, Bo Anxi called. She couldn’t hide her happiness.

The two of them chatted for a long time, mostly about tonight’s business banquet.

She couldn’t help but admire Shen Fanxing.

“Big Brother can make me laugh to death. Spending money? He’s really addicted to being a gigolo.”

Yuan Muchun laughed too.

“Sigh, your Brother Xu performed well tonight. Looking at his attitude towards you, I wonder if he really wants to marry you.”

There were only two people in the car and Bo Anxi’s voice rang in her ears. Yuan Muchun quickly lowered the volume of the microphone, but she still felt that the man had heard her.

She stole a glance at the man beside her. Seeing that he was expressionless, she leaned towards the car door and deliberately lowered her voice.

“How is that possible? She’s just putting on an act to help me vent my anger.”

“… Actually, I think he treats you quite well. If there’s a chance, we should develop our relationship quickly. It’s time for the two of us to find a man to have a taste of being in a relationship. Oh right, our class monitor from university is getting married. He shouted in the group chat once. I reckon the invitation will be in place in two days. Let’s get married!”

Yuan Muchun was surprised. “A shotgun wedding?!”

It turned out that her classmates had reached the age of marriage.

“That’s right! And it’s the kind that you’re hugging. If you delay it a little longer, you’ll be able to be your parents’ flower boy… What about you and Brother Xu? If you don’t have any thoughts in that aspect, why don’t we try to pick one of the seniors?”

“Ah… Yes… Let’s see how it goes.”

Bo Anxi sounded excited. “We don’t have much time left in school. There are so many energetic and youthful young men in university. Tell me, what have we done all these years?”

Mu Chun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Okay, got it.”

After hanging up, Yuan Muchun had just heaved a sigh of relief when Wen Xuchen’s voice sounded.

“You didn’t date in university?”

This question caught her off guard. Yuan Muchun grabbed her clothes nervously, feeling a little guilty.

His question made her feel that it was abnormal not to fall in love in university.

“… I didn’t meet anyone I like.”

Wen Xuchen looked ahead and his lips curled up slightly.

“Yes. Don’t try it if you don’t like it.”

“… Oh.”

Yuan Muchun didn’t want to talk to him about whether she wanted to date someone or not.

Sensing the discomfort in her heart, she took a deep breath and picked up her phone to switch on the game.

The moment the car stopped at the entrance, she ran out with her phone.

Wen Xuchen looked at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Had he said something he shouldn’t have?

As for making her like this?

*

Yuan Muchun’s culinary skills were obvious to the naked eye.

At the very least, it was rarely burnt. Although the noodles took a long time to cook, it was better than not being cooked.

The two sunny-side-up eggs had been sold. One could barely see the two egg yolks.

Yuan Muchun also served herself a bowl. She was very satisfied with her skills.

She had long forgotten about what happened in the car.

Now that she had looked at Wen Xuchen several times, everyone knew about Yuan Muqing’s pure heart.

Wen Xuchen pretended not to know a few times. Yuan Muchun pursed his lips and decided to speak.

“Does it taste good? Am I a fast learner? I’m actually quite talented in cooking, right?”

Wen Xuchen raised an eyebrow. This was no different from forcing him to say yes.

After all, most people wouldn’t dare to dampen her confidence.

“You’re learning quickly, but you’re very talented.”

Yuan Muchun wasn’t angry. At least she had been acknowledged.

“Actually, it’s not that difficult. Give me some time and I can get married soon.”

Wen Xuchen stopped eating and looked up at her.

“You want to get married?”

“There’s… a problem?”

Wen Xuchen stared at her for a while before saying, “No problem.”

After finishing the noodles, Wen Xuchen put down his chopsticks and left.

Yuan Muchun bent down to clear the dishes. Within two seconds, Wen Xuchen returned.

“Didn’t you say that you’re not in a relationship?”

Yuan Muchun straightened her body and widened the distance between them.

“I was just saying it casually. I have to date and get married.”

“Yuan Muchun.” Wen Xuchen suddenly said with a serious expression, “You can’t listen to everyone else. That sister of yours is also a blank sheet of paper. What she says might not be right, understand?”

These words…

It seemed that he had listened to her conversation with An Xi in the car.

“… Of course I know how to measure it myself.”

Wen Xuchen frowned. “What can you measure? You felt that she was right just now.”

Yuan Muchun was speechless.
