“Since when has Miss Cheng become a police officer, asserting so confidently that the Wen’ referred to is me as soon as she hears that the person is surnamed Wen? And, Miss Cheng is not the roundworm in my stomach, how can she be so sure whom I hold dear in my heart?”
The door of the ward was suddenly pushed open and a cool, soft voice came from Wen Ran. Her delicate and fair face wore a light smile. As she slowly walked in, she felt like a refreshing breeze, elegant and pleasant to the senses.
Gu Kai’s eyes flickered as he looked at MO Xiuchen behind her. MO Xiuchen’s face was expressionless, revealing no emotions.
Cheng Jia hadn’t expected Wen Ran to be outside. Even more surprising was that she had listened in on the conversation, and behind her was none other than MO Xiuchen.
Her face suddenly changed color. As she could not read MO Xiuchen’s feelings, she was uneasy but could not back out. Thinking this was her best opportunity, she gritted her teeth and, wearing a serious expression, looked at Wen Ran’s frivolous smile and solemnly said:
“You know very well what you’ve done. If you weren’t in love with MO Zixuan, why would you be involved with him for so long? Could it be that Miss Wen treats love as a child’s play? However, based on your retort, it could be possible. After all, your marriage to Young Master MO was only for the sake of your family’s pharmaceutical factory, not because you liked Young Master Mo.”
A trace of ridicule and derision mixed with Wen Ran’s smile. She looked at Cheng Jia but said nothing.
As soon as Cheng Jia’s words left her mouth, she didn’t allow herself to regret what she had said. Seeing Wen Ran silent, Cheng Jia gathered even more courage.
She glanced at MO Xiuchen. Unable to ascertain his feelings, she took a moment to strategize in her mind, and then accused Wen Ran: “Even if you don’t like Young Master MO, you should be grateful that he helped your family’s pharmaceutical factory through its difficulties. How could you set someone up to harm him? Despite everything Young Master MO has done for you, Wen Ran, I used to think of you as simply a status-conscious and vain woman, but surprisingly you are also so vicious. Even if you’ve harmed Young Master MO, MO Zixuan would never abandon Zhou Lin to marry you.”
She once again drew MO Zixuan into the conversation. The intention was clear – to ignite jealousy in MO Xiuchen.
She believed that no man could bear his wife harming him for the sake of another man.
Especially for a man as outstanding as MO Xiuchen, he would absolutely not tolerate Wen Ran harming him for the sake of MO Zixuan.
Gu Kai’s face turned somber, he coldly said, “Miss Cheng’s head wound has not healed. The matter that caused her brain cells to die, it’s best not to think about it. Furthermore, you’re instigating discord.”
He emphasized the words “instigating discord”, his eyes bore into Cheng Jia, sharp and cold.
Cheng Jia was taken aback, knowing that Gu Kai was fond of Wen Ran. She didn’t know, however, that he would be so protective of Wen Ran as to openly defend her in front of MO Xiuchen
The hatred she harbored for Wen Ran deepened. In her mind, she cursed Wen Ran as a vixen who was a seductress. Yet, she righteously denied Gu Kai’s accusation, “Doctor Gu, I did not instigate discord. It was Mr. Luo who said that Young Master MO and Miss Wen’s relationship wouldn’t last for long. I just analyzed based on the clues he provided. Even if I was wrong, it should be Miss Wen herself that refutes my statement. Why is Doctor Gu so excited? It seems that Miss Wen is really capable!”
With those words, she made a veiled accusation that Wen Ran was flirtatious, ensnaring any man she met.
Wen Ran’s eyes showed a hint of annoyance. She was about to speak when Gu Kai sneered and said to MO Xiuchen, “Xiuchen, I think you should have her transferred to another hospital. I can’t diagnose the cause of her headaches, and Kangning Hospital doesn’t treat women who covet married men. Furthermore, we cannot risk ruining the reputation of the hospital over a scheming and malicious woman.”
Gu Kai’s words left no room for Cheng Jia to save face.
He unmercifully exposed her true nature. If Cheng Jia had even a bit of self-respect, she wouldn’t be able to stay here any longer.
Cheng Jia’s face drained of color. She shot Gu Kai an angry glance. As she looked at MO Xiuchen, her eyes quickly filled with tears presenting a pitiful sight that would move many men.
Luo Haofeng squinted his eyes, and the corner of his mouth turned up in amusement.
Wen Ran was also taken aback by Gu Kai’s words. Her heart was filled with not only gratitude but also an indescribable emotion. Gu Kai didn’t even need to step in, but he not only defended her but also heartlessly exposed Cheng Jia’s pretenses.
An inexplicable thought flashed through her mind. If her elder brother were here, he would surely be like Older Brother Gu, not allowing anyone to bully her.
“Good!”
In the strange atmosphere, a cold voice suddenly rang out. The word ‘good’ came from MO Xiuchen. This was the first word he had spoken since he walked into the ward.
As was his custom, they were concise yet contained an unnamed sense of awe and oppression. Cheng Jia’s already pale face turned deathly white.
Even though she looked so vulnerable and wronged, with tears in her eyes, MO Xiuchen’s gaze on her did not contain the least bit of pity or distress. All he had for her was piercing coldness.
“Young Master MO?”
She cried out in a hurt voice, full of grief and grievance.
MO Xiuchen took two steps forward, standing tall and straight beside Wen Ran.
He extended a long arm and pulled Wen Ran’s delicate body into his embrace. Ignoring the simultaneous change in expression of the other three people, he cast a cold glance at Luo Haofeng, then looked at Cheng Jia and said in a deliberate manner:
“Ah Kai is right, you are a patient. It’s better not to bother yourself with such matters that cause brain cell death, especially if they involve instigating discord.’
Cheng Jia’s tears flowed freely at MO Xiuchen’s words. When those words came from Gu Kai’s mouth, all she felt was hate and anger. But when they came from MO Xiuchen’s mouth, they were like sharp knives cutting through her heart, causing her to bleed.
She knew MO Xiuchen did not see her, his ‘life-saving benefactor’, as anything special. She loved him but never dared to confess directly. But she couldn’t believe he would speak to her in such a manner.
Even if he had put aside the events of the past, this time, she had saved him just ten days ago. How could he forget so quickly?
“Young Master MO, I was just telling the truth. Mr. Luo said that the worker confessed that the person who instructed him was a young woman surnamed Wen. This surname is quite rare and Wen Ran fits all those characteristics. Don’t you have even the slightest suspicion of her?”
The factors she was referring to were that Wen Ran married him not out of mutual love but out of the desire for profit. The person she truly loved was MO Zixuan, not MO Xiuchen.
Murdering him would not only restore her freedom but also help MO Zixuan take over the corporation. They could be together.
The thing she was most confident would provoke MO Xiuchen was MO Zixuan. Cheng Jia was, of course, going to exploit this.
MO Xiuchen’s mouth curled up into a cold smile. Ignoring Cheng Jia’s tears, he firmly said, “If I don’t trust my own woman, who should I trust? Even if the whole world wants to harm me, Ranran would never do so.”
As soon as he said these words, not only was Cheng Jia stunned, but Luo Haofeng and Gu Kai also looked surprised.
Wen Ran’s heart jolted, she who had been looking down suddenly raised her head and met MO Xiuchen’s gaze. Her heart galloped as a complicated emotion quickly spread throughout her body..
