A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 836: Chapter 835: The Mishap, Xiao Mi is Shunned by the Butler
 

After having hotpot and returning to the Wen family home, Butler Wen hurried out to greet them, and was visibly shocked upon seeing Wen Xin sitting in a wheelchair; he was unaware of what had happened to her.

Later, when he saw Wen Xin returning with Xiao Mi, his expression slightly hesitated.

“Miss, what happened to you? How did…”

“It’s nothing, just a minor injury. Let’s go inside,” Wen Xin replied softly, somewhat tired. Ever since her car accident, she hadn’t endured such hardships, so she inevitably felt weary.

The butler, observing Wen Xin’s less than pleasant demeanor, quickly caught up to her, and, lowering his voice by her side, asked softly.

“Miss, why are you returning with Xiao Mi at this time?”

“Well, there’s a matter… Butler Wen, I also have something important to tell you,” Wen Xin turned her head, glanced at the somewhat elderly Butler Wen, and smiled gently.

Back in the living room, Butler Wen busily instructed the servants to tidy up the rooms and then went to the kitchen to brew three cups of fruit tea, which he placed before Wen Xin, Mu Chengxi, and Xiao Mi.

“Miss, please have some tea. Young Master brought this back a few days ago; he said you would like it.”

The butler warmly greeted Wen Xin, but his attitude towards Xiao Mi was noticeably less amiable, which left Wen Xin somewhat puzzled.

Observing the butler’s awkward demeanor, Wen Xin couldn’t help but ask, “Are you having a falling out with Xiao Mi? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be acting like this!”

“Miss, I know Xiao Mi is an esteemed guest brought back by you and the Young Master, but… Xiao Mi wasn’t behaving like a guest should, rummaging through the master bedroom and was caught by our servants. She even had a physical altercation with them,” said Butler Wen.

At this point, Butler Wen was almost beside himself with anger, yet he didn’t dare complain directly to Wen Xin, so he had been holding it in. Fortunately, Xiao Mi hadn’t returned since then, and there had been no significant losses, so he hadn’t mentioned it.

After making his complaint, Butler Wen wore a look of annoyance. Wen Xin looked at him, smiled gently, and then turned to face Xiao Mi.

“Did Old Fox tell you to go to my parents’ room to look for things?”

“Yes, but I found nothing. Aunt caught me and wanted to send me to the police station, so…I couldn’t hold back, and I lashed out,” said Xiao Mi.

Xiao Mi, head bowed, dared not look at Wen Xin. Ever since she found out that Wen Xin was her biological sister, she had felt increasingly unworthy. She envied Wen Xin’s ability to live so freely and unrestrainedly in the light.

“Besides mom’s jewelry from before she passed away, there’s nothing else in the parents’ room.”

Wen Xin’s words confused Butler Wen. He had thought Wen Xin would be furious upon hearing this, but instead, she seemed unconcerned, which made Butler Wen somewhat anxious.

“Miss, about this matter…”

“Butler Wen, Xiao Mi indeed did something wrong, but it won’t happen again. You don’t need to worry,” said Wen Xin.

“Also, she is also a young mistress of this household. Do you remember the lost second miss? I’ve brought her back,” Wen Xin said softly, smiling gently at Butler Wen.

However gentle Wen Xin’s tone might have been, to Butler Wen it sounded like a clap of thunder, leaving him somewhat bewildered and momentarily unable to think.

“Miss… Miss, are you serious? Are you sure, sure that Xiaomi is indeed the second young miss who was kidnapped years ago? Miss…”

Butler Wen’s speech stumbled with excitement; his eyes fixated on Xiaomi, struggling to accept this fact and hardly daring to believe that the young miss from years past had truly been found.

“I can tell you with absolute certainty that Xiaomi is the second young miss who was stolen away.”

Observing the butler’s agitated state, Wen Xin maintained a soft smile. She had anticipated his emotional reaction but had not foreseen the unpleasantness between him and Xiaomi.

The butler quickly approached Xiaomi, disregarding his own decorum, and gripped her shoulders. He looked her over from left to right, thoroughly examining Xiaomi before finally nodding seriously.

“No mistake, the second young miss had a mole behind her ear, I am sure of it, she is the second young miss!”

After the butler’s inspection, he gave Wen Xin a very affirmative response. She could now be sure that Xiaomi was indeed the kidnapped second young miss.

“Where have you been all these years, second young miss? It’s my fault, I failed to protect you, allowing you to be stolen away at such a young age, it’s my fault…”

“All right, butler, calm down a bit; you’re going to frighten Xiaomi!”

Watching the butler get increasingly emotional, Wen Xin, feeling somewhat helpless, raised her hand to rub at her somewhat aching temples, her voice coolly interjecting.

At that moment, Mu Bei astutely pulled the butler away from Wen Xiaomi, letting him sit alone on another sofa to calm down.

Wen Xin, observing the butler’s state, somewhat irritably turned on the living room TV, which at the moment was broadcasting a domestic talent show.

“Hello, everyone, I am contestant number 045, my name is Geng Qiu…”

On hearing Geng Qiu’s name, both Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin looked up; Wen Xin furrowed her brow as she watched the girl performing a lively dance on the screen. Her brows deeply knit, she had almost forgotten this person, and yet here she was again, appearing suddenly.

Mu Chengxi glanced at the familiar face on the TV, then turned his head to look at Wen Xin’s unspeakable expression.

“Why has she returned again? Wasn’t it said…” Mu Chengxi’s words trailed off, not wanting to say too much, but he knew Wen Xin would understand his implication.

“I’m not entirely sure either, and I didn’t expect her to return in this manner. But one thing is certain, she didn’t come back on her own. Geng Zewei has long disappeared, and the Geng family has gone back to their ancestral home. Geng Qiu’s sudden return must involve someone manipulating things behind the scenes.”

Thinking of Geng Zewei’s previous identity, and that Geng Qiu had also been taken away with Geng Zewei, she didn’t even want to guess. This matter was definitely related to the Shadow Alliance.

But who is orchestrating all this? Who is controlling the Shadow Alliance?

Mu Chengxi disliked seeing Wen Xin troubled; he took the remote control, turned off the TV that had been on for just a short while, and then stood up to lift Wen Xin from the wheelchair.

“It’s getting late; everyone should head back to rest. I’ll take Wen Xin upstairs to rest first.”

After saying this, Mu Chengxi didn’t give anyone else a chance to speak before he carried Wen Xin upstairs, leaving those sitting in the living room looking baffled, though they soon each returned to their own rooms.
