A Big Shot s Woman Is Wild and Fierce - Chapter 677

Chapter 677: Chapter 676: I’ve given you my life, I’ll definitely be in your future
“My life is in your hands, and you must certainly be in my future.”

Wen Xin looked into Mu Chengxi’s eyes, unable not to throw herself into his arms, wrapping her other arm around his neck and kissing him deeply.

…

As Wen Xin walked back to her dormitory, passing through crowds, from time to time she would overhear voices discussing her, but now the gossip was no longer about the entertainment circle, but about the issue of being the research institute’s heir.

While Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi were having dinner, Ma Wenyuan took it upon himself to announce the heir to the physics research institute and Research Institute on the official websites—all being Wen Xin, which left everyone in shock.

In an instant, Wen Xin’s identity leapt from Freshman King to being the heir of the two great research institutes, a position even higher than that of Ma Wenyuan.

Even the president of Jingda University couldn’t help but be shocked for a long while. He had originally thought Wen Xin was just the little girlfriend that the prince of the capital was protecting, the Jingda Freshman King…

Now with such a swift change in status, he no longer knew how he should interact with Wen Xin in the future, which was simply too difficult…

Wen Xin only learned about what Ma Wenyuan had done after she returned to her dormitory, and her first reaction was to pick up her phone and call Ma Wenyuan.

Ma Wenyuan, who was at the physics research institute, wasn’t too surprised when he got Wen Xin’s call. It seemed he was also waiting for Wen Xin to call, as he had something he wanted to say to her.

The announcement of Wen Xin’s heir status was something he had been preparing for years. Previously, Wen Xin had always been unwilling to return to Beijing, and even after returning, she showed no intention of taking over the research institutes.

Today, with the rare opportunity of Wen Xin exposing her identity, it would have been too unreasonable not to seize it.

Ma Wenyuan sat up straight in his office chair, holding the phone with utmost reverence, and answered the call, “Miss…”

“Uncle Ma, aren’t you going to explain what happened today?”

Wen Xin’s tone was still characteristically cold, and Ma Wenyuan couldn’t discern her attitude from it. He hesitated unconsciously for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

“Miss, I can explain this to you!” Ma Wenyuan, sporting a cunning smile, spoke into the phone with a servile tone, trying his best to make Wen Xin believe what he said.

“Miss, since you have already disclosed your identity, those people in Beijing now know that the Wen family’s miss has returned. I was simply putting the Wen family’s belongings rightfully back in the hands of the miss.”

“Ma Wenyuan, considering what you know about me, do you think I can believe what you’re saying? You’re a smart man, and you know that even if you do this, I won’t actually be angry with you.”

“However, I hope you can understand, these are not the things I want!”

Wen Xin’s words were completely unexpected for Ma Wenyuan. All the mental preparation he had made seemed useless. This had nothing to do with what he had previously thought.

After hesitating for a while, Ma Wenyuan let out a soft sigh, “Miss, have you ever considered that this might be your destiny?”

“The research institute was your parents’ life’s work, you were named as their heir when they left the institute. Your return has a totally different significance to the research institute. You may not know, but Old Qian and the others have returned. They want to restart the experiments that have been sealed for many years.”

“Miss, you should understand by now how important you are to us, right? With you here, we have our pillar of strength!”

In fact, since the day Ma Wenyuan found Wen Xin, he had been waiting for this day. From that moment on, he began to woo back one by one those old men who had left the laboratory, hoping to restart that unfinished project from years past.

Ma Wenyuan’s words left Wen Xin silent. Standing on the balcony, she looked at a cactus and some succulents, not knowing who had placed them there. She broke the spines off the cactus and one by one, she stuck them into the succulents.

“Miss, are you listening to me?” Ma Wenyuan couldn’t figure out what Wen Xin was thinking. He tentatively asked, hoping for some response from her, even if it was disagreement.

“Mm, I heard. You can announce the heir status if you want, but I have no plans to take over the research institute. I have my own things to do. Once I’ve dealt with all my affairs, I’ll consider the research institute.”

“And about that matter regarding Old Dong you mentioned, have you spoken to Sun Ning?”

Wen Xin, realizing her identity had been revealed, felt there was no way to shirk off Old Dong’s matter and decided to personally visit him that evening.

“Not yet; I haven’t had the chance to visit Sun Ning yet. Miss, actually, Old Dong might not necessarily be allied with the Independent State. I’ve already looked into it, and Old Dong hasn’t handed over all the data to the Independent State — there might be some misunderstandings!”

After a moment’s thought, Ma Wenyuan spoke slowly. He understood the relationship between Wen Xin and the Independent State and also understood why Wen Xin had always been hands-off with the research institute.

Since Wen Xin’s father was alive, the Biological Research Institute had been providing research data to the Independent State. All these years, every bit of funding and equipment for the Biological Research Institute came from the Independent State.

It was inevitable that Wen Xin felt the Research Institute had fallen under the control of the Independent State.

Ma Wenyuan’s words eased Wen Xin’s already somewhat relaxed stance even more. She felt she really shouldn’t hide anymore. Whether it was the Independent State or the research institute, these were issues she needed to face.

“Let’s go together to see Old Dong tonight,” Wen Xin coughed lightly, her tone nonchalant as she spoke. She agreed to see Old Dong not to patch things up with him, but to tell him she was back.

“What about Sun Ning…”

Ma Wenyuan didn’t know if Wen Xin planned to treat Old Dong’s illness himself. He had heard from Wen Zhimo yesterday about Sun Ning being a genius doctor from the Independent State. He still wanted to arrange for someone reliable to treat Old Dong, as the research institute couldn’t do without him.

“Leave Sun Ning’s matter to me; I’ll contact him. Eight o’clock tonight, outside Old Dong’s Hospital.”

Having said that, Wen Xin hung up. She glanced at the time; she had a class to attend. She had already missed a few and needed to catch up properly, as these biological terms were somewhat unfamiliar to her.

When Wen Xin came in from the balcony, she saw Diwu Qixian holding a book, standing by the balcony door, looking at her excitedly.

“What are you so excited about? What’s up with you?”

“I’ve been waiting for you to go to class. The dean stamped my form this morning and said that I should go with you. He mentioned if I had any questions, I could ask you. People in the medical school said your medical arts are very impressive, so your biology must be too!”
