As the words left Wen Jin’s mouth, Wen Ran suddenly turned pale.
She pleaded with her eyes at MO Xiuchen, hoping he wouldn’t make things difficult or start an argument with his brother.
However, MO Xiuchen and Wen Jin happened to share the same idea, one refused to let go, and the other was unwilling to leave.
Even though she begged with her desperate eyes, he showed no intention of leaving. He sat there in his chair with a tall and motionless body.
Being trapped in this stifling and tense atmosphere, Wen Ran grew more anxious. Her hands were still gripping MO Xiuchen’s tightly. She turned to Wen Jin anxiously, “Brother, please don’t be angry.”
Wen Jin didn’t look at Wen Ran. He just stared at MO Xiuchen with a gloomy gaze, saying word by word with coldness, “MO Xiuchen, don’t talk about how you married Ranran because you had no choice. Even if you two married out of mutual affection, she wouldn’t simply cut ties with me, her brother, just because she married you.”
“Brother, MO Xiuchen didn’t mean it that way.”
“Ranran, you go out first. I want to talk to him alone.”
Wen Jin turned to look at Wen Ran, his serious expression was different than the usual tender love he gave to her. Wen Ran was reluctant but MO Xiuchen also echoed, “You wait for me outside. I want to talk to your brother. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to him.”
“Brother?”
Wen Ran bit her lip, looking anxiously at Wen Jin.
Meeting her teary eyes, Wen Jin finally softened and sighed, “Fine, you two should go back. As for Zhou Mingfu’s situation, I’ll sort it out tomorrow.”
Although MO Xiuchen made him furious with his overbearing attitude, he couldn’t ignore how his beloved sister felt. He wasn’t really angry about what happened that night, only felt that he was of no use.
In the past couple incidents when Ranran was in danger, he was helpless and was the last to know about it.
For Wen Jin, who had played the role of Wen Ran’s protector for over a decade, this was inevitably hard to accept, especially now when such an arrogant and dominant man is trying to take his sister away from him.
Wen Ran wanted to say more, but Wen Jin slowly closed his eyes. There was a trace of weariness in his handsome face.
Wen Ran pursed her lips, let go of MO Xiuchen’s hand, bent down, pulled the quilt over Wen Jin, and said quietly, “Brother, I will pick you up tomorrow and I’ll cook whatever you want for breakfast.”
Without opening his eyes, Wen Jin simply shook his head, “You don’t need to go to the trouble of making breakfast. Auntie Li will send it.” “Alright then. I’ll pick you up to go to the company tomorrow.” After putting the quilt properly, Wen Ran straightened up.
“If you can get up early, come to the hospital and have breakfast with me.”
Feeling her gaze stay on him, Wen Jin opened his eyes again. The anger from before was gone, replaced with warmth.
A radiant smile manifested across Wen Ran’s face. She cheerfully agreed, “Sure,
I will definitely come to have breakfast with you tomorrow.”
As long as her brother was not angry, she’d do anything he asked.
The last bit of bad mood left in Wen Jin’s heart had melted away from her bright smile. He smiled softly and said, “It’s late. Go home and sleep.”
Wen Ran nodded and said with a lively voice, “Brother, you should also go to sleep. I will leave first and see you tomorrow morning.”
MO’s mansion.
In the luxuriously decorated bedroom on the third floor, Xiao Wenqing dressed in a robe, held the phone on one hand while resting her head on the other, instructing the person on the other end of the phone, “…Yes, go there first thing tomorrow morning, make sure it’s going to make the headlines… ‘ Next to her was Zhou Lin, also dressed in a robe.
Today, MO Jingteng was discharged from the hospital, so she didn’t dare to make phone calls in her room on the second floor. Using the excuse of visiting Zhou Lin, she went to Zhou Lin’s room to call the press.
She informed them to rush to Cheng Jia’s apartment bright and early the next day to catch MO Xiuchen in the act.
“Aunt Xiao, are we certain Cheng Jia can keep MO Xiuchen?”
When Xiao Wenqing finished her call, Zhou Lin expressed her concern in a slightly worried tone.
Xiao Wenqing replied with a cold laugh, “All men are creatures that think with their lower half. In the past, MO Xiuchen might have remained indifferent, but now, having experienced carnal desire and with a beauty like Cheng Jia throwing herself at him, how could he refuse?”
“In this case, MO Xiuchen will become the laughingstock of the entire G City.”
Zhou Lin started to laugh gleefully. As soon as MO Xiuchen’s scandal surfaces, his position as CEO will surely be gone. Without him in the picture, it would be Zixuan’s turn.
And once Zixuan becomes the CEO, she would become the future CEO’s wife. Thinking about this, Zhou Lin’s heart bloomed with joy.
Xiao Wenqing nodded, her face filled with a gloomy and malevolent expression, “I don’t know what kind of hallucinatory soup Old MO has been fed by MO Xiuchen. Not only is he determined to let him inherit the company, but he is also so eager, completely disregarding Zixuan.”
At first, she thought it was because MO Jingteng had discovered something. Later, however, she found that MO Jingteng’s attitude towards her was the same as always. The days when they were at odds, it was because she added drugs to Wen Ran’s soup, causing MO Xiuchen to fall out with MO Jingteng.
It was not because he had discovered something else.
“Could it be that Wen Ran said something to MO Jingteng? Wen Ran is skilled in the art of manipulation. Given her resentment towards Zixuan, she would definitely back MO Xiuchen to take charge of the company.”
Whenever Zhou Lin mentioned Wen Ran’s name, there was a gritting flavor in her tone.
The person she hated most in her life was Wen Ran; her family background was better, she was smarter, prettier, and worst of all, the man she cherished had deep feelings for her.
Zhou Lin wished Wen Ran would just die. Yet for the sake of appearing benevolent in front of Zixuan, she still had to help hide this fact.
A hint of suspicion flashed in Xiao Wenqing’s eyes, “It’s not impossible. That day when Old MO fainted, Wen Ran was in the hospital. She openly defended MO Xiuchen in front of Zixuan. The way she looked at me was full of resentment. It’s a pity that she didn’t drink that shark fin soup.”
Upon saying this, Xiao Wenqing glanced at Zhou Lin’s belly, lowered her voice and said, “Ah Lin, you must carry this child well for Zixuan. It must be a son.
Once MO Xiuchen causes a public scandal, the MO family will be Zixuan’s.”
Zhou Lin nodded, one hand gently stroking her not-so-prominent belly, “Aunt Xiao, don’t worry, I will definitely give Zixuan a son. Even if Wen Ran didn’t drink that shark fin soup last time, it doesn’t matter. Once the scandal between MO Xiuchen and Cheng Jia breaks out tomorrow, Wen Ran won’t stay with him anymore.”
Knowing Wen Ran’s character, she will definitely divorce MO Xiuchen when he betrays her.
Zixuan was a clear example. Not only did Wen Ran end their relationship, she also married MO Xiuchen. It was revenge on Zixuan.
A smile appeared on Xiao Wenqing’s face, “Now that you mentioned it, I almost forgot. As long as MO Xiuchen’s scandal gets out, Wen Ran will definitely break off with him. Even if she doesn’t divorce him, there won’t be any possibility of her having a child for him..”
