A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce-Chapter 1014 - 1010 We Aren’t Even Friends Anymore
Chapter 1014: Chapter 1010 We Aren’t Even Friends Anymore
Wen Xin’s attitude was extremely cold as she saw the guest out, not because she underestimated Alfredo’s capabilities, but because she simply did not consider Alfredo one of her own. She was clear on the fact that in the face of absolute interests, Alfredo would not stand by her side.
“Are you blaming me? Blaming me for not protecting you?”
Alfredo had long become accustomed to Wen Xin’s aloofness, but it was still the first time he had seen such an expression on her face. He had a bad premonition that Wen Xin was trying to draw a clear line between them this time.
“Blame you?”
“No need!”
“I have no right to blame you for anything. To me, we are not even friends anymore.”
Wen Xin’s eyes shone as she looked at Alfredo, her gaze carrying a faint, shattered smile. The distance in her eyes made Alfredo involuntarily shudder.
“Not friends? Wen Xin, you know…”
“I don’t know, nor do I need to know! If it wasn’t for you all forcing me, I wouldn’t have returned to Independent State. All these things wouldn’t have happened between me and Independent State, and maybe we could have remained friends.”
“However, now there’s no going back!”
Wen Xin didn’t wait for Alfredo to finish speaking; she cut him off from what he was about to say. She didn’t have that much patience to listen to him talk so much nonsense here.
Her patience was limited, especially towards someone who wasn’t even a friend anymore.
“Knock knock knock…”
There were three light knocks on the door; Wen Xin sat up from the bed and looked toward the door, her tone casual as she spoke, “Come in.”
Upon Wen Xin’s permission, the person outside gently pushed open the door, and a tall figure entered from outside.
“Little princess,” Moore, carrying a meal box, walked in from outside. Seeing Alfredo sitting on the side, he showed no surprise in his expression, seeming to have guessed that Alfredo would be here.
Moore set up the table and placed the meal box on it, then adjusted Wen Xin’s bed to make her sit more comfortably.
“My father has heard about your injury; he might come over later. You…”
Moore looked at Wen Xin’s expression; he knew she did not want people to know about the situation with her hand, but it was definitely impossible to hide it from his father. Still, he bit the bullet and informed Wen Xin in advance.
Wen Xin took the fork that Moore handed her, her face still showing a faint expression, giving no indication of her current mood.
“Little princess… you…” Moore called out to Wen Xin uncertainly again, ready to forcefully prevent the visit if Wen Xin was sure she did not want to see them.
“Please ask him to leave,” Wen Xin said indifferently after poking a forkful of spaghetti and putting it in her mouth.
In Wen Xin’s mind, the man sitting in the hospital room at that moment was the person she really did not want to see. As long as he was sent away, she could accept anyone else coming over.
Wen Xin’s abrupt remark caught Moore off guard for a moment. After looking at Wen Xin, he quickly realized who she was referring to.
He turned his head to look at Alfredo, somewhat apologetically raised an eyebrow at Alfredo, signaling him, “Maybe you should go back first?”
Alfredo didn’t pay attention to Moore’s expression; his gaze fell on Wen Xin, who was quietly eating, and he let out a helpless sigh.
“Then I’ll leave first.”
Alfredo didn’t want to leave, but with Moore there, some things couldn’t be said directly, so in the end, he had to leave reluctantly.
Moore followed Alfredo and left Wen Xin’s hospital room together with him. Just as they stepped out, Moore grabbed Alfredo’s arm and quickly left the hospital corridor.
After Moore dragged Alfredo into a corner, Moore let out a helpless sigh, “Hey, do you realize how sensitive your identity is right now? Why do you still come to the hospital? Haven’t I already told you? She might be injured, but it’s not serious.”
“If I don’t see it with my own eyes, I still can’t feel at ease.”
Alfredo leaned against the wall, lethargic. He fished a cigarette out of his pocket, lit one up, and put it in his mouth.
“I regret it now. I always felt that she belonged in that position, that she shouldn’t be in such a backward place, nor should she be with those people.”
“But now, I know I was wrong. The life she wants is not like this, and her hatred for Independent State is real.”
After finishing, Alfredo gave a self-deprecating smile. He had once arrogantly believed that everything he did was for Wen Xin’s benefit, but now he understood that it was all just him being moved by his own actions.
Watching Alfredo’s dejected appearance, Moore was at a loss for words for a moment. He raised his hand and patted Alfredo’s shoulder.
“Things are getting more complicated. You still need to find a way to stabilize the situation with the Elders Guild; you don’t need to worry about the little princess.”
After Moore finished speaking, he unconsciously touched his nose, suddenly feeling ashamed. He didn’t know where the confidence to say this came from, but he believed Wen Xin could handle these matters on her own.
Wen Xin lost her appetite after a few bites of spaghetti. She placed the fork on the plate, took a napkin from the side, wiped the corner of her mouth, found her cell phone from beside the bed, and glanced at the time. She was curious why Mu Chengxi hadn’t called her yet.

Just as Wen Xin was looking at her cell phone and pondering, the door to her room was opened, and Chu Yunxuan walked in. Her dress today was somewhat low-key—a black cashmere coat—completely different from her usual style.
Chu Yunxuan’s stern expression softened a lot when she looked at Wen Xin sitting on the hospital bed. She casually threw her backpack on the sofa and walked over to Wen Xin.
“Where are you hurt? Is it serious? Do you want me to arrange for someone to come over?”
As soon as Chu Yunxuan heard the news about Wen Xin’s injury, she rushed back immediately, leaving Wen Xin’s side only recently, when she heard about Wen Xin’s accident.
“It was an accident, just some scrapes, nothing serious. Any news on your end?”
Wen Xin stopped Chu Yunxuan’s hand, which was trying to check her for injuries, and looked at her with bright, black eyes. She had been anxious about not hearing from Mu Chengxi, worried about the situation in Beijing being troublesome.
She couldn’t help but wonder if Mu Chengxi’s mother and sister had encountered some mishap.
“Mu Chengxi’s sister and mother should have already arrived in Independent State, but I haven’t figured out exactly where. Yan Qing is still investigating.”
“It seems like there might be some big moves happening in Beijing. Mu Group is not staying quiet, and Mu Chengxi, upon returning, hasn’t done much. Maybe he’s planning something big?”
Chu Yunxuan, who had been by Wen Xin’s side for so long, also had some understanding of Mu Chengxi. She felt that Mu Chengxi was not someone who would allow himself to be at a disadvantage.
Wen Xin glanced at the silent cell phone, tossed it casually onto the bed, and lay down in a somewhat languid posture. The tension previously seen in her bright, black eyes had also dissipated.
