Chapter 579: 578 Instigate
In the end, Cheng Jia didn’t get her way.
The car was forced to stop on the side of the road, and just as Jiang Liu rushed to lock the car, she immediately embraced him without hesitation and kissed him fiercely.
Jiang Liu froze for half a second, then angrily pushed her away, scolded her, and got out of the car, hail a taxi and climbed in.
Watching the taxi leave, a cold smile spread across Cheng Jia’s face. Did Jiang Liu really think that simply refraining from sleeping with her would be enough? He was mistaken. If he wasn’t going to sleep with her, she would use the perfume only to bewitch him.
What she wanted was a single kiss from him.
As long as she had this kiss, she would be able to blackmail him into cooperating with her scheme.
She knew that Mo Xiuchen had accompanied Wen Ran to D Country yesterday and he may not return any time soon. However, she believed that he would not stay away forever. If something happened to the company, he would return.
Last time, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran seriously considered divorce. She later found out that the rumors were true. Even though they had reconciled, she believed that as long as Wen Ran couldn’t conceive, there was a chance they could split up.
If she could bear Mo Xiuchen’s child, it would be the best scenario. To be with the man she loved, she was willing to go to any lengths. As long as she could have him and become his woman.

Kangning Hospital
In the patient room, Mo Jingteng’s face appeared grim, his eyes full of anger. Mo Zixuan had taken advantage of his hospital stay to immediately dismiss Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu from the company.
He was such a fool.
He thought that by driving away Mo Xiuchen, Luo Haofeng, and Qin Mu from the company, he could control the company on his own and keep it running as usual. If he followed his own approach, the company would face troubles within a month.
“Chairman, you shouldn’t get angry. It’s bad for your health.”
Cheng Jia expressed her concern, looking at Mo Jingteng with a seemingly slight fear in her eyes.
Mo Jingteng gave her a cold glance and asked, “What else did Zixuan tell you?”
Cheng Jia appeared to hesitate for a moment. She was Mo Zixuan’s secretary now. If she told everything to Mo Jingteng, Zixuan would definitely not spare her.
“Speak!”
Seeing that she maintained her silence, Mo Jingteng’s voice rose sharply, his domineering manner startled Cheng Jia.
“Chairman, the deputy general manager said that the company belongs to the Mo family. With the general manager’s departure, it is naturally his turn to inherit. He also said that you shouldn’t naively hand over the company to outsiders…”
The tone of Cheng Jia’s voice gradually became softer. She was unsure whether it was because she was afraid Mo Zixuan would retaliate against her for revealing this information or because of the oppressive aura radiating from Mo Jingteng.
“He’s a fool, an imbecile.”
Mo Jingteng cursed out loud, surprised at the change in Mo Zixuan. He had never cared about fame and fortune before, but now he had become like this.
Since he began to lust for the company, Mo Jingteng knew he was not the Zixuan of the past. If he had the capabilities, it would have been fine, but the present group was not something he could manage alone.
Cheng Jia was secretly delighted, but she maintained a respectful and timid demeanor on the surface. “Chairman, the Deputy General Manager is also aiming for the good of the company, it’s just that he’s a bit hasty. Even when General Mo took office before, he faced challenges from older shareholders. It would be even more so for him.”
Mo Jingteng squinted at Cheng Jia, examining her carefully, waiting for her to continue talking.
Cheng Jia pursed her lips and continued softly, “General Mo is a rarely seen business prodigy with abundant experience, exceptional wisdom, and resolute decision-making. He silenced the old shareholders with his true abilities and the profits he brought to the group. If the group could always have such a leader…”
The look in Mo Jingteng’s eyes gradually deepened. What Cheng Jia said was also what he had in mind.
“I’ve heard that you’re quite fond of Xiuchen?”
He asked with an inscrutable meaning. His gaze on Cheng Jia became sharper, as if he wanted to see directly into her heart.
Cheng Jia was shocked and then openly admitted, “Chairman, I do like General Mo. The reason I work so hard and strive to improve myself is to be closer to him. Although I know I do not match up to him now, one day, I will make myself into a woman who can stand side by side with him.”
Mo Jingteng scoffed, “You sure are confident.”
“Thank you for your praise, Chairman. I’m just striving for my own love.”
“Since you like Xiuchen so much, do you have any plans to bring him back to the company?” Mo Jingteng asked thoughtfully.
Cheng Jia gave a little laugh: “Chairman, I’ve thought of a way, but I don’t know whether it will work.”

D Country
After having gone to bed early the previous night, Wen Ran woke up early.
It was barely dawn when she opened her eyes. Mo Xiuchen, who was still asleep next to her, looked extraordinarily at peace. Under the soft indoor lighting, he looked charming and sexy.
She propped herself up on one arm, resting her cheek on her hand, her gaze tender as she watched him. She studied him with focus and care, wishing she could engrave his image into her heart.
Mo Xiuchen was in a deep sleep and didn’t wake up despite her watching him closely. She thought to herself silently: Xiuchen, if one day I really forget you, you must not be upset.
Today, they were going to the hospital to meet Dr. Brown and undergo a series of tests. She was both anxious and nervous, both expectant and afraid.
Last night, her father Gu Yan came back and briefly explained to her that she would meet several authoritative figures in the medical field today and reassured her not to be nervous.
From Gu Yan’s words, she already knew that even those experts he spoke about were uncertain about her prognosis.
After propping herself up for a while, she felt a sour ache in her wrist. She got up, put on her clothes, got off the bed, and went into the bathroom to freshen up.
When she came out, Mo Xiuchen had already woken up. His deep, dark eyes were like a pool, watching her emerge from the bathroom. A charming smile spread across his eyes as he spoke lazily yet sensually, “Ranran, why did you get up so early?”
Wen Ran gave a slight smile and walked over to him, replying, “I took a nap yesterday afternoon and went to bed really early last night, so it’s only natural that I would wake up early.”
Mo Xiuchen lifted the corners of his mouth, his gaze never leaving her. Seeing her approach, he reached out and grabbed her hand, changing the topic nonchalantly, “Why did you bring the towel out?”
At his question, a look of confusion flashed across Wen Ran’s face.
Then, she lowered her head to look at the towel in her hand, her eyebrows knitting together. Her face slightly changed color.
Mo Xiuchen captured the slight alterations in her expressions, his heart tightening a little, regretting his question just now. But the smile on his face didn’t fade, he took the towel out of her hand, diverting the topic again, “Have you finished freshening up?”
“I’m done.”
Wen Ran forced a smile and didn’t explain why she had forgotten to put the towel back in the bathroom and brought it out instead.
