Chapter 402: 401 Negotiations

Translator: 549690339

The living room was heavy with a rigid atmosphere!

Mo Xiuchen and Mo Zixuan faced off coldly, one icy and stern, the other cruel and smug.

Mo Zixuan failed to convince Mo Jingteng as Mo Xiuchen, who understands Mo Jingteng so well, had manipulated Xiao Wenqing to sow distrust.

But he was different—he knew that Wen Ran was infertile.

Previously, when Mo Xiuchen had cured his illness, he kept it hidden, allowing rumors to swirl without explanation. Now, for Wen Ran, he admitted his infertility, which is nothing compared to a child’s illnesses.

“Where is Xiao Wenqing right now?”

At the end of a long standoff, the emotionless voice of Mo Xiuchen broke the stalemate.

Mo Zixuan was taken aback. He seemed to be unprepared for Mo Xiuchen to suddenly bring up Xiao Wenqing. Frowning, he coldly replied, “I don’t know.”

Mo Xiuchen sneered, contemptuously looking at Mo Zixuan: “Mo Zixuan, you didn’t have such intense desire for power and benefits before. Do you know who arranged for the people who humiliated you when you were driven out of the Mo Family?”

Mo Zixuan paled instantly: “Was it you?”

“I’m not that boring, nor that foolish. When you left the company, I said you could stay. The animosity between Xiao Wenqing and I has nothing to do with you.”

Mo Xiuchen looked at him with pity, and spoke slowly: “Those people weren’t arranged by me and they didn’t just stumble upon you. Someone deliberately arranged it all, intending to provoke your hatred and stimulate your desires, including the construction site accident and Yang Xinfa’s death. All these incidents were orchestrated.”

Mo Zixuan’s expression changed dramatically, his eyes flashing with doubt, shock, and indescribable complexity.

He carefully recalled those people who appeared suddenly. They weren’t wealthy, but common thugs. Considering the situation then and thinking about it now, it seemed like someone had indeed instructed them to insult him.

Mo Xiuchen didn’t rush him, giving him time to think. “Do you know why the old man wanted you to return to the company at that time? It was because he was involved in this incident. He and Yang Xinfa had some dark dealings. I don’t know how the person behind this knew about it, but they definitely planned to exploit it.”

“They knew that I wouldn’t compromise my conscience for the group’s interests, no matter how big or small the issue. So, they were certain that the old man would bring you back to the company for his own interests, and to use you to control me.”

“If what you say is true, why did Yang Xinfa die?”

Mo Zixuan asked incredulously.

Mo Xiuchen shifted his legs slightly, moved a bit to find a more comfortable posture on the sofa, “Yang Xinfa did not die suddenly but from a certain drug. It’s the same one that caused Zhou Mingfu’s death.”

“How do you know?” Mo Zixuan’s face turned somewhat pale.

“Of course I know, because I had people investigate it. Zhou Mingfu’s death was caused by your mother, because you refused to marry Zhou Lin. She was afraid Zhou Mingfu would betray her, so she had to silence him. Mo Zixuan, there’s a lot you don’t know about. The people your mother has harmed are not limited to me.”

“Mo Xiuchen, all you’re saying is just to confuse me.”

Mo Zixuan was unwilling to believe that his mother, regardless of betraying his father, would never harm him.

“I don’t have your kind of free time, nor would I fabricate meaningless stories to fool you. I’m very certain that Wen Ran’s identity was revealed to you by Xiao Wenqing, because she had laid a hand on Wen Ran before, hiring someone to kill her. Later, Wen Hongrui saved her life. The reason Xiao Wenqing linked Wen Ran with the Gu Family was because of my attitude towards Wen Ran.”

“She heard from Zhou Lin that Wen Ran isn’t Wen Hongrui’s daughter and started to speculate. In fact, she was hoping Wen Ran’s origins were as she imagined.”

“Do you think she did all this for you? That’s laughable. Back then, when you were fond of Wen Ran, she continually attacked Wen Ran. She even erased your memory in order to get rid of her. Mo Zixuan, you only lost part of your memory, you haven’t become stupid.”

Mo Xiuchen looked at him mockingly: “You should know, your surname is Mo, not Wu. Xiao Wenqing can betray the old man for Wu Tianyi, but you can’t help them in their wicked deeds.”

“I didn’t.”

Mo Zixuan’s face flushed. He didn’t help Xiao Wenqing, and he certainly wouldn’t help Wu Tianyi. Everything he did was for himself.

“You did. What you’re doing now is helping Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi seize the Mo family’s property. They must have told you that to deal with me, you need to start with Wen Ran. Do you think that if you become the CEO now, you could protect MS Group, prevent its twenty thousand employees from becoming jobless, and make sure that Xiao Wenqing won’t scheme against you?”

Mo Zixuan was shocked at the bottom of his eyes, while Mo Xiuchen continued: “I told the old man last night, I don’t care about fame or wealth, or the company. All I care about is Wen Ran. Whoever hurts her, I will make them pay a hundred times over.”

“Mo Zixuan, if you really want the company, I can give it to you. The prerequisite is that you must tell me the whereabouts of Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi. They have several lives on their hands, and they must pay.”

“My mother is just a bit ruthless, she wouldn’t actually kill someone.”

The way Mo Zixuan defended her was a little stiff. He was well aware that there are things Mo Xiuchen deems beneath him to lie or deceive about.

What he said just now, not all of it was true, but at least half was. These days, most of what Xiao Wenqing told him was about how to seize the company, and how to tarnish Mo Xiuchen’s reputation.

The Bai Family

Collocating with Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao were chatting in her room.

“Xiaoxiao, did anything happen last night when Luo Haofeng brought you home?”

Wen Ran looked at Bai Xiaoxiao with bright eyes. Last night, her interactions with Luo Haofeng were not just harmonious. There was also something subtle between them.

Bai Xiaoxiao shot her a glance, “You think it’s the same as you and Mo Xiuchen? Luo Haofeng and I are just ordinary friends. He was just giving me a ride home, what could happen?”

Wen Ran’s smile held a hint of ambiguity: “Many lovers start as ordinary friends. Actually, I think Luo Haofeng is really not bad. Xiaoxiao, I’ll tell you a secret. Luo Haofeng admitted to me personally that he likes you.”

Bai Xiaoxiao was taken aback. Looking at Wen Ran’s ambiguous smile, her pale cheeks flushed slightly, “Stop talking nonsense. Last night, I heard him talking to his mom on the phone. His mom was asking him to go home for a blind date or something.”

“A blind date? Did he go?”

Wen Ran widened her eyes in surprise. How could Luo Haofeng go on a blind date? Even if he wasn’t particularly fond of Xiaoxiao yet, he still had good feelings towards her. The fact that he took the initiative to send her home last night was the best proof.

Emotions between two people don’t mature in a day or two; love develops with the passing of time, and that’s even better.
