After Wen Xi returned to her room, she locked all the items she bought for He Yan away in her cabinet, and then started preparing to transfer. She found a script, picked a random character, and began to study it carefully.

Suddenly, her phone rang, with “Chuan” appearing on the screen.

At this point in her life, she would have already been in love with and engaged to Nan Xunchuan, so of course they had nicknames for each other.

However, her feelings for him had changed entirely, and she felt disgusted just imagining hearing the sound his voice, and decided to ignore the call.

He was probably calling to talk about Muyun’s visit, which she didn’t want to discuss anyway. 

Wen Xi waited until it had stopped ringing and immediately went to change his contact name to his full name.

As soon as she had finished typing ‘Nan Xunchuan’, he called again. A hostile look flashed in her eyes briefly as she hit ‘answer’.

“Hello.”

She could practically hear the person on the other end smiling as he replied in a sweet voice.

“You sound very unhappy. Are you angry with me for having not called you for so many days? Huh?”

Wen Xi frowned, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with her tone.

“What’s the matter?”

“I heard from your sister that Muyun set you up and sent you to Weihai. Are you alright?”

Wen Xi was amazed that it was Wen Qing that was helping her.

How did Wen Qing know that it was Nan Muyun who did it?

“Xixi, let’s video chat.”

Wen Xi frowned again, “I’m a little busy now. Can I hang up?”

Nan Xunchuan signed on the other end.

“Xixi, I know how outraged you must be. I asked our mother to take Muyun to apologize to you. If you are still angry with her, you can punish her however you like. I’ll tell her that I allowed you to do so. Will that make you happy?” 

Wen Xi tried to stay calm as she replied to him.

“There won’t be a need for that, I think we’re done with this subject. I still have things to do. Bye.”

She hung up as soon as she finished talking, and thought about what Wen Qing’s motivations could be. She concluded that Wen Qing was afraid of her breaking off the agreement between the Wen and the Nan families.

She and her mother knew that Nan Muyun had to be kept under control; otherwise, things would worsen for them. They thought Nan Muyun would listen to whatever Nan Xunchuan told her to do.

But that was very naive of them, ignoring how crazy women could become when it came to love.

Nan Muyun was certainly an obstacle to them in the marriage between the two families, but for Wen Xi, Nan Muyun was her secret weapon in achieving her desires.

It felt like Wen Xi and Wen Qing were playing chess, and Nan Muyun was a piece that they both could make use of. Winning and losing was a matter of who could use Muyun’s piece the best.

Wen Xi picked up her script again and focused her attention into acting out the scene, which gradually calmed her down.

Twenty minutes later, a maid came up and notified her it was time for dinner.

Coincidentally, her phone rang again. She thought it would be Nan Xunchuan again, but suprisingly, it was Nan Muyun.

“Hello?”

“Wen Xi! You bitch! What did you say to my brother! That he asked dad to punish me! Shame on you!”

Nan Muyun was hysterical, and sounded anxious to the point it was tearing her to pieces.

It didn’t take long for Wen Xi to figure out what had happened – Nan Xunchuan thought she was still angry about what Nan Muyun had done, and he called their father to punish Muyun to please her.

“I told you not to mess with me. You see, he loves me, and listens to what I ask. Your good days are over. Be good, and admit that I am your sister-in-law.” She replied in an indifferent tone.

“No way!” Muyun roared, hanging up and smashing her phone in the process.

Wen Xi put her usual expression on again, put her phone in the pocket, and went down to have dinner.

Wen Qing was there too, which meant everyone was home.

As Wen Xi sat down, Wei Kexin turned to her and said:

“There are only two days left before your sister’s performance. How about practicing with her later?”
