The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Reconciliation Dinner

Chu Muxi’s hand suddenly tensed, and the string of beads wrapped around her wrist began to clatter and bounce away, scattering at her feet, with a few bouncing off the luxury car and rolling beside Chen Qian’s wheelchair.

Chen Qian hadn’t expected Chu Muxi to have such a strong reaction.

From her long acquaintance with her,

Chu Muxi had always been someone who did not wear her emotions on her sleeve, forever maintaining a veneer of calm; this was the first time Chen Qian had seen her lose her composure. Pretending not to see it, Chen Qian continued, "I heard it’s his colleague, they both work at the same research institute, but Jiang Nanshu’s family seems to disapprove of the Third Young Master Jiang’s girlfriend, who is of lower status."

Only when Chen Qian mentioned Jiang Nanshu’s "family" did Chu Muxi calm down, "She’s been kicked out of the house; who’s telling her all this?"

Chen Qian’s eyebrows lifted slightly, "Of course, it’s Third Young Master Jiang himself who told Jiang Nanshu. He’s looking to Jiang Nanshu for advice on how to get his girlfriend accepted. If successful, they plan to get engaged after the New Year and marry in the second half of the year—of all the Jiang brothers; finally, one is getting married."

From Jiang Yisen to Yun Chuan, all of them were single.

Maybe the wealthier people are, the later they marry.

She sneered, "I’ve heard that Third Young Master Jiang is very protective of his girlfriend. Not even Jiang Nanshu knows what she looks like, only that she exists. I hope he succeeds. Since the Lu Family Crown Prince isn’t at school these days, I can’t probe for good news. Let’s talk next week; I want to stay in the hospital this week for treatment."

Chu Muxi’s expression changed again and again.

Thinking back to a few days earlier when she went to find Hemian, only to be turned away without seeing his face, she had waited reluctantly a bit longer before seeing Hemian personally welcoming a woman, also clad in a white lab coat, into his home.

The good-looking man and woman together were particularly eye-catching.

Therefore, Chu Muxi believed most of what Chen Qian said.

She just felt a bit resentful.

Remembering her time at the Ji Family,

If he had a girlfriend, why was he still being so ambiguous and nice to her, giving her the wrong impression!

Chu Muxi took a deep breath, "I’ll transfer money to you for your treatment, and you continue with your classes tomorrow. Qingyan has gone to Port City on business; he might return on Saturday. For now, help me gather information about Hemian from Jiang Nanshu."

Chu Muxi actually believed such clumsy words!

Chen Qian was secretly startled and felt profoundly disillusioned.

It was as if Nanshu had laid everything out, just waiting for the prey to step in and then turn on each other.

With this thought, she took a deep breath to steady her emotions.

Looking at Chu Muxi’s wrist, "Your beads have fallen."

Chu Muxi looked down to see the reddish beads rolling in a cluster, like a pool of blood.

Her eyes shadowed, she wearily waved at Chen Qian, "It’s nothing, just remember what I’ve asked you to do."

After that, the luxury car’s door closed.

Carrying Chu Muxi, the vehicle drove away.

The wind blew, and Chen Qian felt her back soak through.

Nervous, she broke into a cold sweat and wiped her forehead with her sleeve before taking a taxi to the hospital.

Elsewhere.

Chu Muxi was breathing raggedly, feeling as if something was compressing her, making it difficult to breathe.

The driver, concerned, said, "Miss, should I take you to the hospital? Is your asthma acting up again?"

Chu Muxi pursed her lips tightly, shook her head as she looked at the rapidly passing scenery outside the window, "I’m okay; it’s an old problem."

"By the way, could you get me another string of those amulets? I don’t know if it’s psychological, but without the beads, I’m starting to feel uncomfortable again."

The driver wanted to persuade Chu Muxi to go to the hospital.

But he knew she was a devout Buddhist who wanted the amulets.

He could only reply, "Yes, but you won’t be able to get it until tomorrow."

Hearing that she would have to wait until tomorrow, Chu Muxi began to feel even more distressed.

Ever since she returned from the Ji Family, she had had nightmares for a while.
