The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife

Xi Xinyi simply explained what happened, and then headed straight for Yueying after lunch.

Inside Yueying’s CEO office, Deng Wenwen and Yue Lingsi were already waiting.

Deng Wenwen’s expression was stormy and the aura around her was unapproachable. Yue Lingsi seemed really worried and anxious as she paced up and down the office.

She quickly went up to Xi Xinyi as soon as she came in. “Xinyi, what happened? Yesterday didn’t you and Yifeng…?”

Xi Xinyi put her bag onto the sofa and saw several newspapers Yue Lingsi had put aside. Her beautiful face went ashen as she looked at them and picked one up. She flipped through it as sadness overflowed in her eyes.

“What’s happening? And what about the ambassador? Aren’t you already contracted and confirmed?” Deng Wenwen’s face looked tensed and stared at Xi Xinyi when she saw her acting so oddly.

Xi Xinyi took a deep breath and looked at Deng Wenwen, hidden pain in her eyes. She toughened herself up and was silent for a moment before saying, “It’s fine, Grandmother, Mother. Don’t ask me about this anymore. It’s all my fault. Let’s just ignore this scandal for now. Give it some time and people will soon forget about it.” Her voice sounded disappointed as she sat down onto the sofa quietly.

Deng Wenwen and Yue Lingsi traded glances at each other after they heard her. They came to the same conclusion. Deng Wenwen asked her coldly, “Your sister did it again, didn’t she?”

“Mother, it must be her! Xi Xiaye is the Director of Glory World Corporation and Chairman Mu is her superior. How could Xi Xinyi have a good impression if she just slips in criticism to the top brass? And these newspapers might be her work too! Just who’s that Caitlyn? She’s just an old celebrity hag who’s past her prime. She’s nowhere as popular as Xinyi now. If not for someone’s help, how could she have beaten Xinyi?”

Yue Lingsi was getting angry as she spoke, her dissatisfaction towards Xi Xiaye growing larger, especially after what had happened at the meeting with Shen Wenna the last time. Besides giving her a hard time in front of Shen Wenna by calling Xi Mushan, Xi Mushan’s attitude towards her after that was just…

She had exhausted everything to keep Xi Mushan beside her, and finally became the mayor’s wife, yet now Xi Xiaye made her embarrass herself in front of her past rival, Xi Mushan’s ex-wife. How could she take this?

“Xinyi should’ve been guaranteed to become the ambassador! I’ve spoken to several directors and they all agreed to put in good words for her at different levels, so how did things turn out this way? They were really fond of Xinyi too!”

Yue Lingsi frowned intensely and looked at Deng Wenwen. “Also there’s the matter about Yueying’s shares, Mother. If not for Xi Xiaye, there’s no way Shen Wenna wouldn’t have given it back to you if you confronted her. She’s now targeting Xinyi. Just how many times has it been? I really don’t want to talk about it. I’m worried people might comment on me mistreating my stepdaughter, but you’ve witnessed it all along the years. Just how many years have I been in the Xi family? Have I ever mistreated her? Have I not thought of her first whenever there’s something good?”

Deng Wenwen’s expression darkened when she heard Yue Lingsi’s words. If Xi Xiaye heard these words, she wondered how she would react.

Thought of her first whenever there was something good?

Was there even once that whatever that “something good” was had not been taken away by Xi Xinyi for various reasons?

“Mother…” Xi Xinyi’s frail voice broke the silence.

She looked at Yue Lingsi helplessly with an underlying tone of criticism in her voice. “You really shouldn’t go to meet Aunt Shen on your own. Grandmother should be the one to meet her instead. We’re the one at fault here. Aunt Shen and Sister had it rough all these years, and we’re doing pretty fine. Can’t we be more understanding towards them? After all, you’re Aunt Shen’s good friend, aren’t you?”

These uncomfortable words worked its effects on Yue Lingsi. She raised her head and looked at Xi Xinyi with inexplicable helplessness in her expression. “Xinyi, you’re only saying that because you don’t understand what’s happening between us. Shen Wenna was nearly identical like her daughter. She was cold and distant. Do you think I’ve done nothing all these years?”

“But, Mother…”

Xi Xinyi was about to continue, but the once-silent Deng Wenwen voiced out, “Alright, that’s enough! Stop bringing up the past. If this is really Xi Xiaye’s doing, she’s overdone it this time! She shouldn’t give her own family such a hard time. I know she’s angry with me for forcing her to sign on the contract as well as over the matter with Xinyi and Yifeng, but what else does she want after things have turned out this way?”

Deng Wenwen’s voice was strict and firm. The elder’s eyes looked sharp as she said coldly, “If I don’t do so, how should we solve the crisis for Yueying? The Han family aren’t idiots either. Why would they help us out for nothing in return? They’ll only help if I say Yueying will be your dowry in the future! But the shares in Shen Wenna’s hands are like a ticking bomb for us. It could explode anytime, so we have to get that document!”

“Mother, what do you want to do?” Yue Lingsi’s eyes brightened and she quickly turned over to Deng Wenwen.

Deng Wenwen stood up from her chair and said, “We’ll go with the old way for Xinyi’s matter. We’ll let the scandal die down on its own. Xinyi, you don’t have to do give an explanation to the public. The company will arrange more events with other partners to wash the negative news away. You have to be careful as well. Try not to be involved in these matters again. The company is in deep trouble right now, so avoid accumulating more issues.”

“Then, about the shares…” Yue Lingsi asked quietly.

“I have my plans. Leave it for now. We can start preparing on the projects with Qikai. The stakeholder meeting is near and there will be drastic changes. Be wary!” Deng Wenwen cautioned seriously.

Yue Lingsi and Xi Xinyi exchanged glances before nodding.
