As Wen Xin spoke, she handed the blueprint back to Ou Shenzhi, her dark eyes earnestly meeting Elder Ou’s gaze.

“Old man, I thought of you as a friend, but I didn’t expect you to betray me. Does this mean our deep connection is over?” Wen Xin’s tone was calm, but Elder Ou could hear the seriousness in her voice.

He hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, “Well… Wen Xin…”

“Elder Ou, there’s no need for many explanations. You know what kind of place Independent State is. I initially made the drawing just to make a little money, not to get involved in those disputes. I just want to live a peaceful life.”

“Also, I want to kindly remind Mr. Ou not to let the people of Independent State use you as a pawn. Be careful not to drag down the entire Ou family because of it.”

Wen Xin’s cold eyes slightly narrowed, a chill flashing through them.

Her legs casually crossed, she lounged in her chair with one leg over the other, her slender arms resting on the arm of the sofa, exuding a fierce aura, giving off an impression that she wouldn’t give face to anyone.

This was the first time Ou Shenzhi had seen anyone dare to show such an expression in front of Elder Ou. He could be sure that even Mu Chengxi wouldn’t have the courage to do so.

“Young Wen Xin, I really didn’t intend to disrupt your life. I know…”

“Elder Ou, I’ve respected you in the past and will continue to respect you in the future for Mu Chengxi’s sake. Anything else, you can just discuss it with your grandson. I just hope my life remains undisturbed.”

After speaking, Wen Xin stood up from the sofa. She turned to look at Old Madam Mu, who was sitting there dazed, and politely said, “Grandmother, I’ll be heading back now…”

“Oh, yes, go ahead…” Hearing Wen Xin call her, Old Madam Mu came back to her senses and hurriedly responded, allowing Wen Xin to leave.

After Wen Xin left, Old Madam Mu watched her go and took a while to regain her composure.

Once she did, she picked up a cup of herbal tea beside her and took a sip. The fact that Wen Xin could draw such an intricate blueprint for an aircraft was indeed incredible.

“Old Ou, let’s end this matter here!”

With a shrewd glance, Old Madam Mu earnestly looked at Elder Ou. She could imagine its impact if people knew about Wen Xin’s skills.

“Old Ou, she’s still a child. She’s already suffered a lot when she was young. She can just live a good life. There’s no need to disturb her because of the Ou family’s interests. If you can’t keep this a secret, then our two families…” Old Madam Mu spoke earnestly.

She did not have many requests. She only hoped that Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi would be well and live a stable life. Having a child was enough.

Regarding Wen Xin’s identity, she did not even want to know what skills Wen Xin had. She only knew that Wen Xin was Mu Chengxi’s girlfriend, her granddaughter-in-law. That was enough.

“Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? This matter is my fault. Rest assured, if this matter leaks, I, Ou Zhengfeng, will risk my life to ensure Wen Xin’s safety!”

Ou Zhengfeng realized how absurd his actions had been today when he saw Wen Xin’s expression change dramatically. This kind of deal was supposed to be conducted in secret, yet he impulsively exposed Wen Xin’s involvement.

He turned to look at Ou Shenzhi, “Ou Shenzhi, today was grandfather’s mistake, and I’ve let Wen Xin down. I hope from now on you can forget what happened today. If anyone finds out Wen Xin is connected to this, then I will die to show you I can’t face Wen Xin.”

Ou Shenzhi was still pondering the special propulsion Wen Xin mentioned, completely oblivious to Elder Ou’s words. He stared blankly at his grandfather.

“Grandfather, this project…”

“Did you not hear what I said?” Ou Zhengfeng looked at Shenzhi with a warning glare, as if he would not be kind if Ou Shenzhi dared to bring up the matter again.

Ou Shenzhi met Elder Ou’s eyes and reluctantly agreed, “Alright, I understand. I promise I won’t reveal anything.”

Ou Shenzhi outwardly agreed with Elder Ou, but internally, he had no plans to disclose Wen Xin’s identity. He wanted to collaborate with Wen Xin to resolve the propulsion issue.

If this aircraft project succeeded, it could truly connect them with Independent State, which would promise greater prospects for the Ou family.

“Remember what you said!” Ou Zhengfeng looked sternly at Shenzhi, his tone serious as he warned him.

After a moment, he turned to Old Madam Mu and then stood up, “Old sister-in-law, I was impulsive today, but rest assured, as long as I’m here, I promise no one will disturb Wen Xin. I will protect her completely.”

“We’ll be going back now. Take good care of yourself.” Ou Zhengfeng couldn’t face staying any longer; not being chased away by Wen Xin today was already her giving him face.

Mu Chengxi returned to his own courtyard and saw Wen Xin sitting in a rocking chair, looking unhappy. He walked over and bent down to gently kiss the corner of Wen Xin’s lips.

“Who has upset my precious girl? You look quite serious!”

Seeing Mu Chengxi return, Wen Huai found an excuse to get up and leave this place of conflict. Since returning from the old lady’s courtyard, Wen Xin had been in this mood, and he didn’t dare to ask or guess what happened.

Now that Mu Chengxi was back, he could leave this tricky situation to him.

“It was Elder Ou.” Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi who had taken the seat where Wen Huai had just been sitting, and she sighed softly.

“I had once drawn a design for an aircraft, just a simple exterior structure and a bit of the core content. The most important part, the propulsion, I hadn’t yet drawn. I got tied up with some things and delayed it.”

“After I sorted out those things, I lost interest in continuing the drawing, so I sent that aircraft design to Institute 26, letting their staff research the propulsion.”

“However, during that time, a mole in Institute 26 sold the aircraft design to Independent State. I have been aware of this issue all along.”

Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin’s frustrated expression, lifted his hand, and gently rubbed the top of her head, waiting for her to continue explaining.

“Just a blueprint for an aircraft, why are you so troubled?”

“That’s not the point. I didn’t want my identity to be known, yet Elder Ou blatantly exposed it. I stayed in a sanatorium for a while to accompany Tan Xingyue.”

“My design was just casually spread out on the coffee table, and Elder Ou noticed it when he came to visit, and he remembered it.”
