Chapter 288: Did you have a quarrel with Mo Xiuchen?

Translator: 549690339

That morning, Wen Ran didn’t end up going to Gu Kai’s house.

Just as Gu Kai and she reached the first-floor lobby, he received a call. There had been a robbery at a nearby bank. The culprits, armed with guns, left two dead and six injured. Among them, one clerk and one manager were critically injured and on the brink of death.

Kangning Hospital was nearby, and it had doctors like Gu Kai. Naturally, bringing the injured there offered them the best chance of survival.

Before Gu Kai could respond to the call, Wen Ran urged him, “Older Brother Gu, you go and save them first. We can talk about other things another day.”

Gu Kai nodded, probably used to dealing with life-and-death situations. His voice was calm and composed, “Alright, I can’t take you home today, Ranran. I’ll call Mo Xiuchen to come to pick you up.”

“No need, I’ll call him myself. You go ahead.”

Time was life, and Wen Ran didn’t want to waste a second of his.

Gu Kai didn’t argue anymore. As he turned and walked away, he dialed a number to arrange the operating room.

By the time Wen Ran left the hospital, it was already past nine.

The weather was lovely today, the sunshine bright and warm despite the deep autumn season.

There was a gentle breeze, brushing past her ears softly. She looked up at the sky, dotted with fluffy white clouds, and decided to visit her parents’ graves.

On her taxi ride to the flower shop, she dialed Bai Xiaoxiao’s number. After two rings, Xiaoxiao’s cheerful voice came through, “Ranran, I was just thinking about calling you. What a coincidence!”

Wen Ran smiled lightly, “What did you need?”

“No particular reason. I just missed you.”

“Why don’t you come out? I’m free today. If you want, you can accompany me to the cemetery. There’s something I want to talk about.”

Wen Ran turned to look out of the window. The city’s roads were jam-packed with cars and pedestrians.

Xiaoxiao didn’t hesitate to agree, “Sure, where are you now? I’ll come to you.”

Wen Ran mentioned a flower shop not far from their company. Once Xiaoxiao arrived, she could give Wen Ran a ride to the cemetery, so Wen Ran wouldn’t need another cab.

The taxi skillfully weaved its way through the congested traffic. The driver was obviously quite skilled. Watching him navigate the chaotic streets, Wen Ran couldn’t help but smile.

She could never dare to drive like this taxi driver.

By the time she arrived at the flower shop, Xiaoxiao had just reached. She picked a bouquet of flowers that her mother loved, got into Xiaoxiao’s car. As soon as they hit the road, Xiaoxiao asked, “What’s wrong with your eyes? Did you have a fight with Mo Xiuchen?”

Wen Ran smiled without replying, “You’re just noticing now?”

Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, annoyed, “You think I’m blind? I was giving you a chance to confess. Didn’t realize you aren’t very self-aware. Spill it. Who’s been bullying you? I’ll get back at them for you!”

Wen Ran laughed, “If you’re so eager to be a big sister, why don’t you go home and ask your mom to give you a little brother or sister?”

“Wen Ran, are you going to tell me or not? You’re driving me crazy!”

Xiaoxiao was always quick-tempered. Watching her get frustrated, warmth spread through Wen Ran’s heart. She took a deep breath and said softly, “Xiaoxiao, this morning, my brother told me that I’m not actually his biological sister. I’m not my parents’ biological daughter.”

“What?!”

Xiaoxiao gaped, shocked. Wen Ran quickly admonished her, “Focus on the road! Don’t look at me.”

“How can I not look at you? Tell me clearly, what’s going on?”

Xiaoxiao took a quick glance at the traffic ahead, and then at Wen Ran, before finally sitting back properly with her eyes on the road.

“Concentrate on driving, I’ll tell you slowly.”

Ever since the car accident, Wen Ran had become especially aware of traffic safety.

After she had sufficiently reminded Xiaoxiao, and seen her nod in agreement, she recounted the conversation she overheard between Mo Xiuchen and Gu Kai, as well as her actual background.

Unusually, Xiaoxiao listened quietly without interrupting, like she was hearing a legendary tale. By the time Wen Ran finished talking, they had reached the cemetery.

Xiaoxiao looked shocked.

She stared blankly at Wen Ran for a moment, somewhat unbelieving that such coincidences could exist in reality.

To protect her, her parents had relocated the entire family from F City to G City. And it just so happened that G City was her hometown.

And that her own relatives lived in this city.

The even more unbelievable coincidence was her story with Mo Xiuchen.

If she was correctly interpreting what Ran Ran had said, Ran Ran was the benefactor that Mo Xiuchen had been relentlessly looking for. “Ranran, I don’t even know what to say. This feels like a story. Pinch me, hard!”

There was a flash in Wen Ran’s eyes before she really pinched Xiaoxiao’s hand, hard.

“Ouch!! You cruel girl, why did you pinch so hard? That really hurt!”

Xiaoxiao yelped in pain. Wen Ran chuckled, “You asked me to pinch you. Are you awake now? Didn’t you see this is real?”

Xiaoxiao frowned at the red mark Wen Ran had made on her hand, looking somber, “Ranran, if it wasn’t coming from you and if Gu Kai hadn’t done a DNA test, I wouldn’t have believed it.”

She drew a deep breath and stared at Wen Ran’s beautiful face, “What I find unbelievable is the bond between you and Mo Xiuchen. Your love story could easily be made into a romantic novel. I don’t think there’s any need to question it. You are definitely the girl he’s been looking for…”

Her words were cut off by the ringtone of Wen Ran’s phone.

“We were just talking about Mo Xiuchen, and here he is, calling you. Look at how anxious he is about you. He must be the one.”

Wen Ran pursed her lips, and delicately pressed the answer button, her voice soft, “Hello?”

“Ranran, Ah Kai told me you left the hospital alone. Where are you now? I’ll come pick you up.”

Mo Xiuchen’s deep voice, full of concern, came through the phone.

Glancing at Xiaoxiao, who was smirking suggestively, Wen Ran got out of the car, “Xiaoxiao and I are together, there’s no need for you to come pick me up.”

“You’re with Xiaoxiao?”

Mo Xiuchen seemed a bit taken aback, but quickly understood.

Ranran had received a lot of shocking news from last night till this morning. She needed someone to talk to, and Xiaoxiao, being her best friend, was the perfect person.

“Alright, then please don’t wander around. We don’t know where Xiao Wenqing has run off to. Until we find her, please be careful.”

“Mmm, we won’t wander around, you just focus on work.”
