Zhou Lin glanced at Zhou Mingfu across from her and replied softly, “I’m at home visiting my dad, Zixuan, is there something you need?”
“I’m coming to pick you up right now; join me for a trip to the hospital.” “Are we going to see Uncle MO in the hospital? Okay, I’ll wait for you at home.”
Zhou Lin had a faint smile in her eyes. After finishing the call with MO Zixuan, she looked up at Zhou Mingfu, retracted her gentle smile, and said apologetically, “Dad, Zixuan asked me to accompany him to the hospital to see Chairman Mo.’
Zhou Mingfu nodded, thinking that if MO Zixuan was willing to let Zhou Lin accompany him to the hospital, their relationship must be quite good.
“Take advantage of Chairman Mots hospitalization to visit him more often. It would be best if you could advance your wedding with Zixuan.”
“Mm, I understand.”
Zhou Lin had the same thought. Their wedding photos were only half-done as MO Zixuan had to leave halfway after receiving a call.
Their wedding was originally scheduled before Chinese New Year, which was more than three months away. In principle, it wasn’t long, but she couldn’t wait to marry into the MO family.
Especially now, living in the MO family’s house, enjoying the treatment of the mistress, eating delicacies, and with a group of people caring for her and serving her due to her son’s power.
She dreamt of this life continuing forever and she absolutely wouldn’t allow this rich life to disappear.
In the VIP hospital room.
From the moment MO Xiuchen stepped into the room, the atmosphere never seemed harmonious.
MO Jingteng’s apologies were meaningless to MO Xiuchen. He refused to see
Wen Ran, and with no other options, MO Jingteng had to change the subject. “Xiuchen, your Uncle Gu told me to rest well and stop worrying. The group will eventually be passed on to you. I’ll call and arrange a board meeting tomorrow to put you in place.”
MO Xiuchen showed utter indifference, “Not all wrongs can be made right.”
MO Jingteng’s face changed, and he called out in pain, “Xiuchen!”
He looked at MO Xiuchen’s handsome face, cold as ice, and knew it wasn’t a false reluctance. This time, he had gone too far and hurt his son.
He, as a father, understood something about Xiuchen’s character. If it hadn’t been for the matter with Wen Ran, he might have agreed to his request.
But now, he truly didn’t want to take over the group’s management, and if the MS Group didn’t have a wise and decisive leader like him, he wouldn’t rest even in death.
MO Jingteng hesitated for a moment, made up his mind, and said: “Xiuchen, I know I was wrong about Wen Ran. If you really hate me, you shouldn’t refuse to take over the group, because only when you become the group’s president will you have the power to protect Wen Ran.”
MO Xiuchen snorted coldly, “I have the ability to protect her now.”
“Do you want to watch me hand the group over to Zixuan after all your years of hard work for the group? Can you let go so easily?”
MO Jingteng looked sharply at MO Xiuchen, hoping to see unwillingness on his face, but MO Xiuchen remained icy and emotionless.
About the group that Xiao Wenqing had always longed for, MO Xiuchen truly didn’t care.
“I know you’ve been investigating what happened back then. Xiuchen, if you’d had the capability you have now as a child, you wouldn’t have experienced what you did. Even if you don’t consider yourself, you should think about the children you’ll have with Wen Ran in the future. Do you want your future children to endure what you endured…”
“Fine, I agree, but I have three conditions.”
MO Xiuchen tightly pursed his lips and spoke without a hint of emotion.
MO Jingteng let out a sigh of relief, a glint of joy in his eyes as he looked at him intently: “What conditions, tell me!”
MO Xiuchen curled his lips into a mocking smile, his cold gaze fixed on MO Jingteng, and he said slowly and distinctly: “First, after I take over the group, you are not allowed to interfere. Second, you must kneel and apologize in front of my mother’s grave. Third, divorce Xiao Wenqing.”
MO Jingteng’s face paled, his hand pressing heavily against his chest, visibly struggling with his emotions. After a while, he replied with a hardened voice:
agree to the first two conditions, but not the last one.”
This was unexpected to MO Xiuchen.
MO Jingteng’s obsession with Xiao Wenqing wasn’t recent or a year or two old.
Truly, the one responsible for his mother’s death wasn’t Xiao Wenqing, but the man before him.
If not for his betrayal, his mother wouldn’t have jumped from the building…
MO Xiuchen laughed out of anger. His laughter resounded in MO Jingteng’s ears, his face changing colors with each peal. Then MO Jingteng added:
“Xiuchen, at least not now, just give me a few more months…”
MO Xiuchen’s phone suddenly rang, interrupting MO Jingteng’s words.
He took out his phone, the frost in his eyes seemed to melt quickly at the warmth when he saw the caller ID, and the chill in the atmosphere receded quickly, like a tide.
With long fingers, he pressed the answer key, put the phone to his ear, and his deem velvetv voice came out. “Hello. Ranran!”
“I’m calling you now, I’m not disturbing your work, am I?”
On the other end of the phone, Wen Ranqing’s soft and gentle voice came through, like a gentle breeze rustling past his ear, making him feel soothed.
MO Xiuchen’s eyes warmed, and he said gently: “Not at all, is there something you need?”
“There’s something I need your help with. Our medicine factory is currently short of three ingredients…”
At the medical fair, the Wen family’s turnover was huge, and their workers have been working overtime for a while now. It would normally be no problem to purchase the ingredients, but due to heavy rains these recent days in J City, a landslide destroyed the warehouse of their medical supplier.
She had already asked people to contact the supplier, but they couldn’t get the ingredients within a short time, and this would inevitably cause a delay. “No problem, I’ll have Ah Feng contact you in a bit. Just tell him what you need.”
MO Xiuchen agreed without hesitation to Wen Ranqing’s request.
“MO Xiuchen, thank you!”
With her problem solved, Wen Ran’s tone became much more cheerful, not at all concealing her mood.
Influenced by her, MO Xiuchen’s lips unconsciously curled into a faint smile, “If you want to thank me, cook dinner for me tonight.”
“Ah, I can’t tonight, I have a dinner engagement tonight. Why don’t I treat you to lunch instead?”
On the other end of the phone, Wen Ran thought for a moment and said.
“Alright, lunch then.”
MO Xiuchen chuckled, talking to her improved his mood inexplicably.
In his bed, MO Jingteng watched MO Xiuchen’s expressions intently. After eight years, he hadn’t seen him truly smile..
