A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

No one dislikes the accessories and clothes from Huoluo; many pieces are sought after and hard to come by, not to mention some people’s incomes are simply out of reach.

Now that Huoluo was proactively lowering its prices, it was undoubtedly a special opportunity for them, if only… the store wasn’t gone.

While many were feeling regretful and angry, Huoluo’s official Weibo once again issued a statement, releasing all the information and pictures from the new product launch.

The clothes and jewelry from the launch were so stunning that even with high prices, people couldn’t resist spending, let alone now that they were priced for the general public, aiming to be affordable for everyone…

With such news released, those who were previously just onlookers all joined the ranks of those denouncing Jiang Linyan, and even Jiang family’s stocks were affected.

The whole net was criticizing Jiang Linyan, demanding that she apologize to Huoluo and bring them back to Beijing.

Jiang Linyan, looking at the comments online, threw her phone onto the couch in annoyance.

“You still have the nerve to be angry. Do you have any idea how much trouble you’ve caused? Tonight is my birthday banquet, and it’s also when your engagement to Xiao Ci was to be announced. Now with such an uproar on the internet, if you announce your engagement to Xiao Ci, do you realize the storm it will cause?”

“Jiang Linyan, you have truly disappointed me!” Old Master Jiang sat opposite Jiang Linyan, not understanding how she had gotten into this mess.

Just then, Old Master Jiang’s phone rang. After glancing at it, his entire demeanor involuntarily tensed, and he hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call.

“Young Master Wen…” Old Master Jiang’s voice was filled with a humbling tone as he spoke.

“Old Master Jiang, what exactly is going on with Jiang Linyan? The banquet is about to start this evening, and if the Huoluo issue isn’t resolved, I think we need to reconsider our partnership!”

“I hope you understand it’s not us begging to work with you; it’s the Jiang family that needs our support! If this public opinion issue isn’t resolved, then there’s no need for the Jiang family to exist anymore!”

Wen Yunuo didn’t wait for Old Master Jiang to say anything in explanation and hung up the phone; he felt like he was going to be driven mad by these idiots. A perfectly good game of chess was being ruined by these pig teammates.

What was supposed to be an opportunity to solidify Kunshan Group’s position in Beijing through a banquet, using Alfredo as bait to fish for those seeking to cozy up with Independent State…

And now, look at this: Alfredo lying in a hospital, unable to attend the banquet. The Jiang family creating all this chaos, it was enough to make his head explode.

Xiao Ci stood beside Wen Yunuo, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

“If you have something to say, just say it. If you think it’s not worth mentioning, then don’t bother. I don’t want to hear it.”

Wen Yunuo irritably tossed his coffee cup onto the desk, the remaining coffee spilling out over the table and soaking the documents beside it.

Xiao Ci quickly tried to salvage the documents and then righted the coffee cup, wiping the coffee from the table with a napkin.

“Young Master, don’t you think there’s something fishy about this situation? First, the Chairman was hospitalized after being attacked, and now Jiang Linyan has this issue. Could this be…”

Before Xiao Ci could finish, Wen Yunuo looked up with a cold stare.

“A problem? How could there not be a problem? But, how can this problem be blamed on Wen Xin!”

“Alfredo was hit because he provoked Wen Xin first, not because Wen Xin went to the hotel to look for him!”

“As for Jiang Linyan, she’s even less intelligent. Just for a dress, is it necessary to do so many disgusting things? And her friends, what kind of people are they? Arrogant and overbearing—they don’t deserve it!”

Wen Yunuo closed his eyes irritably. The game hadn’t even started, and his own people had already caused him to be handicapped. For a moment, he had no clue how to continue this chess game to win over Wen Xin.

Xiao Ci stood by, left speechless by Wen Yunuo’s accusation. Nobody could be blamed for such affairs. If there weren’t any issues with one’s own actions, others wouldn’t even have the chance to take action.

“You go help Jiang Linyan quell the online public opinion. Ask the Huoluo family what it will take to compromise. Resolve the issue within an hour, don’t let it affect tonight’s dinner. As for Alfredo, if he wants to go back to the Independent State, don’t stop him.”

“With the current situation, it’s best if the Independent State doesn’t wade into these muddy waters. There’s no need to drag the Independent State down with us.”

Wen Yunuo stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the evening sky, feeling somewhat blocked inside…

Wen Xin chewed on her chopsticks, staring at Mu Chengxi sitting across from her, wondering something.

Mu Chengxi picked up a piece of rib with his chopsticks and placed it on Wen Xin’s plate, then gently tapped her plate with his chopsticks to remind her to eat properly.

“What are you thinking about? Eat your food.”

“I’m thinking about why Jiang Linyan knew that the dress left by the Huoluo family was mine. Why did she want to obtain that dress at all costs? I feel like there’s something off about this.”

Wen Xin’s bright eyes fixed intently on Mu Chengxi’s deep, dark eyes, her lips curved in an enigmatic smile, as if she had seen through everything.

Mu Chengxi straightened himself up very transparently and gave Wen Xin an indulgent smile, his eyes slightly lifting at the corners.

“I had my sister tell her. She told her I’d ordered a special dress from the Huoluo family for today’s banquet and emphasized that if you didn’t have this gift, you might show up at the banquet without proper attire, as I didn’t prepare a second option for you.”

“Given Jiang Linyan’s personality, she would definitely try to get the dress by all means. So…”

“However, what happened next was out of my expectations, especially how Miss Chu ended up appearing in the video.”

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin, smiling gently, as the turn of events hadn’t exactly followed his expectations…

“Huoluo is my brand, and the dress Jiang Linyan wanted was indeed prepared for me. I only asked Chu Yunxuan to pick it up for me. I didn’t expect Jiang Linyan to make a scene in the store!”

“One could only say it’s Jiang Linyan’s bad luck!”

Wen Xin calmly explained her relationship with the Huoluo store, and Mu Bei watched dumbfounded as she made it seem like the world’s top brand was no big deal…

But thinking back on the things that Wen Xin had done, he didn’t find it strange anymore; after all, the future matriarch of his family was a true powerhouse.

If one day Wen Xin claimed to be a doll of the Di Ting Organization, that might take him by surprise.
