MO Jingteng nodded, slightly adjusting his leaning posture to make himself more comfortable. Looking at Wen Ran, his first question was unexpectedly, “Do you like MO Xiuchen?”
Wen Ran was stunned by his question.
Facing MO Jingteng’s suddenly sharp gaze, she furrowed her brows slightly and retorted, “Did Chairman MO call me to the hospital just to ask this question?”
MO Jingteng’s face darkened slightly. Accustomed to being superior, he felt that Wen Ran’s refusal to answer his question was a sign of disrespect. If it were any other day, he would have been angry.
Thinking about what he had done to Wen Ran, he suppressed his displeasure, trying his best to appear approachable, “MO Xiuchen came to the hospital yesterday. I noticed the look on his face when he was talking to you over the phone. It was a look he had never shown to anyone else. Wen Ran, I don’t mean anything else, I just…l owe MO Xiuchen a lot and I hope you can bring him happiness.”
“Whether I can give him happiness is not up to me to decide.”
Wen Ran spoke in a very light tone. Happiness could only be felt by the parties involved. Even if she promised to bring MO Xiuchen happiness in front of him, if MO Xiuchen’s happiness didn’t depend on her, she could do nothing.
She initially thought that MO Jingteng would be angry, but instead, not only was he not angry, he actually laughed.
Wen Ran was somewhat baffled and pursed her lips without speaking.
After chuckling twice, MO Jingteng said thoughtfully, “No wonder MO Xiuchen likes you, Wen Ran. You are an honest girl. You’re right, whether MO Xiuchen can be happy is not up to you. But, I hope that you’ll do your best to bring him joy.”
He paused, then added, “Even if you can’t make him happy, at least don’t leave him alone.”
Seeing Wen Ran not responding, a flicker of hesitation crossed MO Jingteng’s eyes. He slowed down his pace of speech, “I wanted to see you today to actually
apologue anu also LO say Lilank you.
“I don’t understand what Chairman MO means.”
“The shark’s fin soup incident was half my responsibility. Our MO family is considered the wealthiest in G City. The future heir must have the blood of the MO family. The night you were kidnapped, MO Xiuchen didn’t tell me. I learned about it from another source which resulted in me misunderstanding you.”
Wen Ran’s face slightly paled and her red lips were tightly pursed. She could understand MO Jingteng’s actions but she couldn’t forgive him.
“I was confused at the time, but I never intended for you to be harmed to the point that you couldn’t be a mother for the rest of your life. As for the result, I’m very sorry.”
Wen Ran wanted to laugh, and she did, with a touch of mockery, “So what Chairman MO means is that you’re not sorry for your actions, but only because the result was unexpected?”
A flash of deep anger shot through MO Jingteng’s eyes and his color changed slightly. He straightforwardly replied, “That was for the preservation of the MO family’s legitimate bloodline, Wen Ran. If you were in my place, you would have done the same.”
Wen Ran bluntly retorted, “I would never do such a thing.”
After saying that, she stood up from the chair and said in a cold voice, “If Chairman MO has nothing else to say, I will leave.”
“Wen Ran, wait a moment.”
MO Jingteng stopped her. Wen Ran had turned around, but then she turned back. She looked at him with cold eyes. Even if he were MO Xiuchen’s father, he had no right to control the fate of others arbitrarily.
“I suggested to MO Xiuchen yesterday to take over the group. He initially refused, but this morning, he called to say he was willing. Did you persuade him?”
Wen Ran lightly furrowed her eyebrows, pondering over his words. “Thank you for persuading MO Xiuchen to agree to take over the group.” MO Jingteng had no other intentions, and said thank you very sincerely.
Wen Ran pursed her lips lightly, spoke in a light tone, “No need to thank me. I did it not for you, but for myself and all the employees of MS Group. MO Xiuchen can give them a better future.”
MO Jingteng’s eyes flashed with surprise and admiration. This was the first time he had such a long conversation with Wen Ran. With his experience in judging people, he could tell that Wen Ran was truly different from other women.
No wonder MO Xiuchen treated her so specially, and Zixuan was also obsessed with her.
Even though she said she was doing it for herself – MO Jingteng didn’t think she was a vain woman. He believed that she was doing it for MO Xiuchen.
Although the Wen Family had previously managed to overcome difficulties with the help of MO Xiuchen, now that Wen Jin was awake, she was fully capable of managing the Wen Family. To put it bluntly, if MO Xiuchen left the group for the Wen Family, the Wen Family’s development would leap forward dramatically.
“Regardless, I should thank you. Wen Ran, as long as you truly care for MO Xiuchen, I will no longer object to you being together.”
Wen Ran was slightly taken aback. She was surprised at how easily MO Jingteng accepted her.
The first time they met at MO Xiuchen’s house, he warned her not to waver between his two sons. Now he said he would no longer object to her being with MO Xiuchen.
Did MO Xiuchen propose some condition to him, or did he really change his mind?
Wen Ran couldn’t figure it out, nor did she want to. She pursed her lips and said, “Chairman MO, rest well,” before turning around and leaving the ward. While waiting for the elevator, she ran into Gu Kai just as he was coming out.
“Ranran, why are you here?”
Gu Kai had his hands in the pockets of his white coat, his tall figure as stately as a pine tree.
He looked past her at the end of the hallway, answering his own question before she could, ‘You went to see Uncle MO? Or did he ask for you?”
Wen Ran gave a light smile and replied, “He called, saying he had something to tell me, so I came. Brother Gu, are you about to do rounds?”
Gu Kai nodded, then continued the previous topic, “He didn’t give you a hard time, did he?”
The act of tampering with the shark’s fin soup was under MO Jingteng’s instructions. MO Xiuchen didn’t tell Gu Kai, but he sensed that there must have been some conflict between MO Xiuchen and his father for him not to visit the hospital for several days. Besides, he even refused to take over the group. “No, he just had a few words with me.”
Seeing that she didn’t seem to be lying, Gu Kai relaxed and said gently, “I’m glad he didn’t give you a hard time.”
Wen Ran felt a bit warmer because of his concern. Her smile brightened and as she was about to say something, Gu Kai’s phone suddenly rang. He apologized and took out his phone to answer the call.
Wen Ran quietly stood aside.
Upon hearing the other party’s words, Gu Kai’s handsome brows knitted together and his face changed slightly, “Alright, I’ll be right there.”
After hanging up the call, he explained to Wen Ran, “The special nursing assistant called, saying that Cheng Jia suddenly had a severe headache. They asked me to come over. Do you want to come with me?”
A hint of confusion flashed in Wen Ran’s eyes.. After a moment of thought, she agreed to Gu Kai’s suggestion, “Sure!”
