《(PART 2) TMLMIH: Master Mu's Pampered Wife》Chapter 423-425
Advertisement
Deng Wenwen's expression darkened and her eyes suddenly turned cold.
However, she suppressed herself!
From her cloudy expression, she could feel that this old lady almost lost control and wanted to punch her in the face.
"Lawyer Wang told me your grandfather gave you West Park and the lands located in the east of the city." Deng Wenwen endured the anger burning inside her. If Yueying had not been in such a dire crisis now, she would not have left the hospital to meet Xi Xiaye here!
"Didn't Lawyer Wang make things clear to you? Good thing that you came to me. You guys can move out since it's my place now." Xi Xiaye glared at Deng Wenwen with an icy cold tone in her voice.
Deng Wenwen's expression soured even further! She never expected that bastard Xi Jiyang to give all these to Xi Xiaye, and only leave her a measly savings of only $ 500,000!
When Lawyer Wang approached her, West Park was already under Xi Xiaye's name, so they would need to move out as long as Xi Xiaye wished so!
She never expected this sneaky move from Xi Jiyang.
Although she knew Xi Jiyang did not love her, he had never mistreated her either. He should have at least left West Park to her after his death, yet he had given it to Xi Xiaye!
"Dream on if you think I'll move out of West Park! No matter what, I'm still the head of the family. As long as I'm alive, I'll never move out of West Park. Sure, that old bastard gave it to you, but you know how the rules work! Unless you want the whole world to laugh at your father for chasing his 70-year-old mother out of the house, I doubt you can be that shameless!"
Deng Wenwen's tone turned bitter. "You made Mu Yuchen do that to Yueying, didn't you? How can you be such a wicked witch? Aren't you part of the Xi family? Why do you have to destroy the Xi family like this? That old bastard Xi Jiyang actually left West Park to you! You ungrateful brat!"
Yueying was Deng Wenwen's life. She had promised Elder Madam Xi to give up on having a child. After she aborted her first child, she and went for a ligation surgery before marrying Xi Jiyang.
In return, she got Yueying. Elder Madam Xi had only given Xi Jiyang and Xi Mushan a small portion of the shares while the rest was parked under her name.
She put all her time and effort into Yueying after marrying Xi Jiyang. Although she treated Xi Mushan fairly, Xi Mushan was not close to her and was just indifferent. He thought of her as a guest who was staying permanently in the Xi family.
She was not really happy about Xi Mushan's treatment, but she never made a big fuss out of it.
After that, due to her mistake, Yueying almost went bankrupt. At that time, her good friend, Yue Lingsi's mother told her that Yue Lingsi had a crush on Xi Mushan since a long time ago, so in order to save Yueying, she tricked Xi Mushan.
However, Xi Mushan and Shen Weena were deeply in love then, and it was not an easy task to separate them, so she had to pull some underhanded tricks.
Shen Wenna was a prideful person and rarely communicated with her. She offered her a position in Yueying, but she insisted on being a lecturer and refused. Moreover, she heard that Shen Wenna broke ties with her family to marry Xi Mushan. She had no idea what Xi Jiyang was thinking about to agree to their marriage!

...
She started having a headache as these past memories flooded her mind!
After giving it a long, hard thought, she finally realized she had made a mistake back then!
Just how smart was Elder Madam Xi?
Even if she gave Yueying to her, Deng Wenwen would grow old and die one day. Then, she could not bring it with her to her deathbed, so would it not return to the Xi family after that?
After a whole life of effort, what had she gotten in the end?
Nothing!
...
"Ungrateful?" Xi Xiaye snorted as she took a sip from the cup of coffee before looking into Deng Wenwen's enraged eyes. She said coldly, "Don't you think it's because of you that Yueying was led to its demise today? If you didn't force me to sign that document or try to take away my mother's shares, all of these wouldn't have happened! Someone from the Xi family? Have any of you actually thought of me as part of the family?"
"Xi Xinyi is your family. You know very well how she treated me all these years. You sacrificed me and my mother to protect them. All that was just to get the Yue family to back you up, wasn't it?"
Xi Xiaye's eyes were sharp and frigid while she stared straight at Deng Wenwen.
As expected, Deng Wenwen's expression darkened right after that. The cold aura around her felt like poisonous, cold needles.
"Grandfather told me about you. You gave up being a mother for power. I don't even need to guess. The culprit of my parents' broken relationship is you!" Xi Xiaye sounded stern as her cold gaze almost coated Deng Wenwen with a layer of ice.
Nevertheless, Deng Wenwen just shivered slightly. Her stubbornness would not allow her to back off, so she straightened her back and faced her straight-on.
Xi Xiaye was impressed by this old lady's demeanor. She could still be so self-righteous even at this point. With a scoff, she gently put her coffee cup down to close in and speak beside Deng Wenwen's ears, "So, do you think I'll just let you get away with this?"
"What do you want then? Will you only stop after you totally destroy Yueying? Do you know that's the Xi family's? The Xi family! You're still using the surname Xi now! I never expected you to backstab us like this! How can you do that? Chenye Movies and Televisions? You're happy now, aren't you?!" Deng Wenwen's eyes were burning with rage. Her tone of voice was fierce as she clenched her fists and glared at Xi Xiaye.
"The Xi family's? Can you guarantee that it's still the Xi family's property after you die? As for West Park, are you sure if you have West Park now, you won't sell it to fulfill Yueying's financial needs?" Xi Xiaye had a mocking grin on her face.
When Xi Xiaye expressed this, Deng Wenwen paused and her expression looked worse. The fury in her eyes almost shot out.
Xi Xiaye sat back down slowly. "To only care for your self-interest, you can go look for Yue Lingsi and her daughter. Isn't the Yue family your strong support system?"
"Go home. I already told you long before that I'll snatch back what belongs to me. I won't give you West Park and I'll also play around with Yueying first. I'd like to see how the Yue family saves you this time. Back then, you could use Father as your bargaining chip. A while ago, your target was me, but now I'd really like to see who else you can sacrifice." Xi Xiaye's tone was quite calm and her expression was indifferent as she watched Deng Wenwen whose lips were clearly trembling from suppressing her anger. Evidently, she was not planning to concede on this.

"That means that you're determined to topple Yueying, aren't you?" Deng Wenwen's hands turned into tight balls. She slammed the table hard, and her fierce gaze fixed on Xi Xiaye with a glare that was as sharp as a knife.
Just as Xi Xiaye was about to respond with certainty and Deng Wenwen's fist was about to swing toward her, a sweet-tempered voice suddenly came from behind. It was obvious whose voice that belonged to.
"Grandmother! Why did you come here!?"
Indeed, in the next instant, Xi Xinyi rushed to Deng Wenwen's side with a hand on her belly. Her face was filled with anxiety, and she looked rather wan and sallow.
"Xin Er!"
When she saw Xi Xinyi, Deng Wenwen's tensed and furious expression eased a little. She turned to look worriedly at Xi Xinyi as she asked coldly, "How's the company doing?"
Upon hearing this, Xi Xinyi's charming little face immediately became sullen. She bit on her lip slightly while her eyes were filled with a cold light as she looked toward Xi Xiaye.
After a while, she said, "Grandmother, don't worry about the company matters anymore, mother and I will handle it, don't worry, go to the hospital first, the doctor says that you shouldn't be working too hard."
Xi Xinyi's voice was filled with concern, yet she looked at Xi Xiaye with an exceptionally stern gaze.
"How can I not be worried about Yueying's current state? Yueying is about to be toppled by this vicious, ungrateful wretch! I just knew that she would do this. She has sinister intentions. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought about asking for those shares back. Now, she's proven that my predictions were right back then!"
Deng Wenwen was in a rage. Suddenly, she was suddenly very upset about letting Shen Wenna take that document with her back then. When she remembered her arrogant expression then, she felt that if she had made her leave it behind, she would have done so.
"The shares were the compensation from Father to my mother anyway. What reasons did you have to ask for it back? How these shares are to be handled was up to my mother!"
Deng Wenwen was about to explode in fury from Xi Xiaye's words. She was losing control of her anger as she panted slightly while glaring at Xi Xiaye. "Hmph, now you know your mother has the final say. Wasn't Shen Wenna quite arrogant back then? She declared that she left the marriage with nothing and did not take anything from the Xi family. Now, she suddenly values it, huh? I'm still suspicious about whether she had ulterior motives when she first joined the Xi family!"
"Enough! Grandmother's already like this. Do you want to anger her to death?" On the side, Xi Xinyi could not bear it any longer, she glared at Xi Xiaye in a reprimanding manner. "Even if you want to go against us, you don't have to provoke Grandmother like this. The doctor says she can't be provoked anymore. She was just hospitalized!"
"The person who's provoking her isn't me. It's her who's looking to be provoked. If I don't satisfy her, wouldn't that be disrespectful of her dignity?"
Xi Xiaye smiled wryly. "Since you have the time to come looking for me, why don't you try to come up with ways to save your Yueying?! Do you really think Mother wants Yueying? Just a little rustle of the leaves and Yueying's on the verge of collapsing. On the outside, it's a large-scale movie company, but in reality, it has become an empty rack of scrap after being managed by you lot all these years. Every time there's a problem, Yueying faces the threat of collapsing!"
Xi Xiaye did not bother being courteous. A mocking sneer curved on the corner of her lips. "The real reason Yueying is being pushed to its extinction is you fools. If you're not good at managing a company, then don't pretend to be a lady boss. Perhaps this is karma. You should just accept your fate."
Even though Xi Xiaye had not been in touch with Yueying much, she began to understand Yueying internally in recent times. Yueying looked like a large-scale, grand company on the outside, yet in reality, they almost could not fill up all of the financial loopholes within. They still had billions of debt with the bank which Yue Lingsi and Xi Xinyi had been fussing over. In addition to the lack of unity within the company's upper management, they differed a lot in opinions, so it was extremely hard to manage everything.
Liu Lingyu had settled on exactly this aspect. He spent effort taking those people in and putting them under him. Now that he had left, those people would naturally leave with him too. After all, Chenye Movies and Televisions' support system was World Corporation which had wealth in abundance, so they did not have to worry about any financial woes. In fact, the benefits that Chenye Movies offered was far great than Yueying!
Water flowed down in nature. On the contrary, humans strived to move up in life. The huge group of people just left with Liu Lingyu. Now that Chen Ye Movies was set up to do things on a larger scale, they had a branch there and stationed their headquarters in City B. They also developed a movie and television operations base with other large corporations, so they became really popular on the news recently!
Xi Xiaye naturally did not know about all of this since she had been spending time with Mu Yuchen these past few days and did not pay attention to this news. She had been focused on arranging documents, handling data, or preparing simple analysis reports for Mu Yuchen in the office. Where would she find time to care about all of this?
Now, she knew that Yueying's matters had reached such a state. In fact, by the looks of it, it was quite bad!
When Xi Xiaye ridiculed her that way, Deng Wenwen could not hold back her anger anymore. She slammed the table, and then with the sound of the cup startling, the coffee in the cup splashed out.
"Who are you calling fools? You little wench! Is this how Shen Wenna taught you to speak? You dare to insult me? What kind of horrible upbringing! You only taint the Xi family name!"
"You keep saying that you're from the Xi family, but don't forget your surname! It's not Xi! You didn't even bear a child for the Xi family. Do you really think you're the head lady of the Xi family? Grandfather left West Park to me before he left, not you! Wake up! Even I feel sorry for you right now!"
"Shut up! Shut up right now!"
Xi Xiaye's words were like sharp knives that pierced Deng Wenwen's heart. She finally lost control and shouted, even picking up the coffee before her and—
Swoosh!
A cup of boiling hot coffee splashed toward her, yet Xi Xiaye quickly swiveled to the side.
At the same time, a cold breeze came by and a familiar whiff brushed past her. Before she could react, the coffee that splashed had fallen onto the magazine that blocked her side...
The coffee turned into a brown pool of liquid on the table.
"Chairman Mu!" Xi Xinyi blurted out in that instant.
Xi Xiaye took a tissue and wiped the coffee that had splattered on her hand. She subconsciously turned to look and saw Mu Yuchen was standing by her side.
"Are you okay?" His deep voice that contained a tone of concern was heard, yet his handsome face remained calm and indifferent. His gaze darkened as he looked at Deng Wenwen and Xi Xinyi across them.
Xi Xiaye got up unhurriedly as she fixed her clothes a little and answered plainly, "I'm fine."
Across them, when Deng Wenwen saw Mu Yuchen who suddenly appeared, her expression turned rigid. She exchanged a look with Xi Xinyi. Suddenly, the cold light in her eyes glimmered and she glared coldly at Xi Xiaye.
It must be this witch who called Mu Yuchen over too!
Mu Yuchen did a take at Xi Xiaye. Seeing that she was fine, the darkness in his eyes dissipated a little. He looked at the two women. His refined face remained calm, yet his tone was low and cold. "Initially, I was thinking about leaving you two a way out, but you've thrown it away yourself. Don't blame me then."
Stunned, Xi Xinyi subconsciously called out, "Chairman Mu!"
However, Mu Yuchen had already announced calmly to Li Si who came up from behind him, "Li Si, bring some people to get their things out of West Park. If necessary, you can get assistance from the authorities. Do it by tomorrow morning. I don't want to see any of their things left in West Park."
"Are you chasing me out of the Xi family's West Park?" Deng Wenwen stared at Mu Yuchen in shock as she swiftly stood up and widened her eyes in disbelief.
No matter how it was, Xi Xiaye would not dare to brazenly chase her out of West Park. After all, she still held the title of Elder Madam Xi, yet now this man...
"Lawyer Wang should have informed you that West Park is now under Xiaye's name. She's the owner of West Park and you lot have nothing to do with her, so you can move out."
"In your dream! Your dreams! I'm the head lady of the Xi family. I'm Xi Jiyang's lawfully wedded wife. I'm West Park's real owner! Whoever dares to chase me out, I'll sue them in court! She's just a little wench. With what reason can she chase me out? What? No way!" Deng Wenwen furiously howled again. Her sharp and unkind face looked quite sinister when shrouded with fury! She was yelling like she was on the verge of desperate straits.
"Chairman Mu, do you have to indulge Sister and force us to such dreadful circumstances?" Xi Xinyi's eyes had reddened as she bit her lip and looked at Mu Yuchen pitifully. "She even said that she'll ruin Yueying, but still you won't let us go? How cruel! This kind of woman is most vicious. Don't be tricked by her!"
Mu Yuchen did not even look at her. He just held Xi Xiaye's hand and said, "Instead of hooting about her, why don't you return to the hospital and prepare a few more instant cardio-reliever pills to prevent any misfortunes later? The Xi family has just wrapped up a funeral. I'm sure Grandfather wouldn't want you to follow after his footsteps just as he's left. After all, with you following him, he wouldn't rest in peace either."
Then, he tugged on Xi Xiaye's hand to leave. Li Si and another bodyguard in a black suit bowed slightly, then blocked Deng Wenwen and Xi Xinyi's path. They stopped Xi Xinyi who wanted to chase them.
After a while, Deng Wenwen realized that Mu Yuchen was cursing her to die sooner. She was so mad that she had to steady herself with both arms on the table. With the heightened drama, she then fell limp and dizzy that she almost fainted.
Nonetheless, would Li Si just let her pass so easily?
He slowly walked up and smiled formally. "CEO Deng, Miss Xi, you heard our Chairman Mu earlier. I will get Lawyer Wang to come to West Park right away. Please rush back and see if there's anything you need to pack up before you should leave quickly. We... Hmm, let me see... It's past 5 p.m now. Our people should be able to clear the place at about 7 p.m. If anything's lost then, you'll have to just find it yourself from the garbage heap!"
When he saw the two women turn pale, Li Si felt smug on the inside. He heard all of their yelling earlier. It really was his first time meeting such an odd woman.
Her heart was probably twisted. How sad that she had worked hard for so many years, but in the end had come down to this! It must be just as Missus said – karma!
Deng Wenwen's knees gave way. Her fury could not be expressed and it all accumulated in her chest. She turned as white as a sheet. Instantly, she felt her chest become heavy and her breath shorten. Suddenly, she felt the world spinning around her and then she crumpled to the side!
"Grandmother! Grandmother! Are you okay?" Xi Xinyi was shocked as she quickly held Deng Wenwen up.
With Li Si's signal, the bodyguards walked over and helped Deng Wenwen up. They quickly escorted her out. Xi Xinyi was about to follow them, yet she was caught off-guard when Li Si stopped her.
"Miss Xi Xinyi, you can return to West Park and pack up your things now. Otherwise, don't blame us for any of your losses!"
Xi Xinyi turned pale as she staggered.
However, this was not the end yet. Xi Xinyi and Deng Wenwen obviously did not know that just as they were in the coffee shop, the entire City Z was shaken again.
In the afternoon, Weibo had exposed several highly ambiguous intimate pictures. The person in the photographs was unexpectedly Yueying's popular male star with the Vice President of Yueying, Yue Lingsi!
