Chapter 150: So what if you have a wife?
Translator: 549690339
From behind, Qin Mu rolled his eyes and grumbled at the handsome figure of MO Xiuchen, protesting, “What’s so great about having a wife, he always leaves me to work overtime by myself!”
He spoke in a very quiet voice. In theory, MO Xiuchen, who was busy talking on the phone in front, would not hear him, but as soon as Qin Mu finished speaking, the man who had walked about ten steps away suddenly turned around. His deep eyes shot right at him.
Qin Mu stiffened slightly before quickly returning to normal.
MO Xiuchen gave him a deep look, put away his phone, and said calmly from a few meters away, “If you get married right now, you can be like me, not having to work overtime! ”
Having said that, he turned and walked away.
Qin Mu’s lips twitched. He didn’t dare to voice his complaints this time, only cursing MO Xiuchen inwardly. As if winning a few billion was a great thing just because he had a wife, he didn’t care about that!
Over the phone, MO Xiuchen didn’t say that he had asked Gu Kai for help, all just to have a one-hundred-percent guarantee in dealing with Zhou Mingfu.
On the way to the restaurant, MO Xiuchen also didn’t say that Gu Kai would be joining them for dinner.
When they arrived at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, the waiter led them to the third floor. As they entered the private dining room, Wen Ran was surprised to see Gu Kai sitting there.
“Ranran, why are you looking at me like that? Aren’t you happy to see me?” Gu Kai stood up, smiling cheerfully at Wen Ran across the round table. Wen Ran’s surprise faded, and she beamed, chirping, “Of course not, I just didn’t know Older Brother Gu would be here.”
Glancing at MO Xiuchen who had walked over to pull out a chair for Wen Ran, Gu Kai teased, “It’s rare for MO Xiuchen to invite me to dinner, even if I’m busy,
I have to make time.”
His remark earned him a roll of the eyes from MO Xiuchen, “Ranran, sit down first!”
After speaking to Wen Ran, MO Xiuchen pulled out another chair to sit down and asked Gu Kai, “Have you ordered yet?”
Gu Kai shook his head, “I didn’t know what Ranran liked to eat, so I waited for you to order.”
In reality, he knew Wen Ran’s preferences as well as MO Xiuchen, but having been warned by MO Xiuchen before, he didn’t want to incur his pettiness and annoyance by claiming to know.
MO Xiuchen merely squinted his eyes and didn’t call him out, instead asking the waiter to take their order.
After the food was ordered, MO Xiuchen then explained casually, “After I got the news this afternoon, I called Ah Kai. The medicine merchants that you are dealing with are the biggest in the region. Without some benefits, they won’t cooperate.”
Wen Ran, being intelligent, quickly understood MO Xiuchen’s intentions. A sense of warmth surged in her heart by his words. She gratefully looked at Gu Kai, “Older Brother Gu…
Gu Kai smiled faintly and cut her off before she could continue, “Don’t thank me or anything. I’m not purely doing this for you. Our hospital does need a lot of medicine over the year. I’ve also inspected those merchants, their medicines meet the standards…”
With that, Wen Ran couldn’t say thanks at all. In the end, she took the high road, “In that case, let me treat you to dinner tonight. I was planning to personally visit, now let’s just use the travel expenses for dinner.”
Gu Kai laughed and nonchalantly said, “I have no objections!”
Beside them, MO Xiuchen’s beautiful eyebrows slightly knitted together. Ignoring Gu Kai’s gaze, he leaned his tall frame back in the chair, elegantly pulled out his wallet, took a card from it, and handed it to Wen Ran, “From now on, whenever you spend money, use this card!”
Wen Ran was taken aback. Under the gaze of MO Xiuchen’s intense eyes, she hesitated, biting her lip.
She thought to herself, if she rejected his card in front of his close friend, he might get angry. She smiled and took the card from him, “Okay, now I don’t have to worry about running out of money!”
Indeed, as she accepted the card, the darkness in MO Xiuchen’s eyes swiftly disbanded, replaced by a faint smile. The ambience around him instantly became warm and pleasant.
Dinner passed in a pleasant atmosphere.
After the meal, Gu Kai returned to the hospital, taking the food that Wen Ran had packed for her brother with him, leaving the remainder of the evening for her and MO Xiuchen.
On the way home, Wen Ran received a phone call confirming that the three medicine merchants would arrive the day after tomorrow.
At home, MO Xiuchen’s phone rang. He told her to go upstairs and take a bath first, he would answer the call in the living room. As soon as Wen Ran disappeared into the stairwell, the warmth in his brow was instantly replaced by an icy cold demeanor. He spoke into the phone with a heavy voice, “As long as it can shut down his factory, a little loss is fine!”
“Don’t worry, Wu Tianyi won’t be able to recover this time. Once his medicine factory shuts down, his building materials factory won’t survive either.”
A confident voice came from the phone. As it turned out, the incident with the Wen Family’s medicines was not just Zhou Mingfu’s doing, another person was involved, and that was Wu Tianyi.
The information Wen Ran had received from her schoolmate was simply that Zhou Mingfu had reached an agreement with the medicine merchants. She didn’t know that the actual mastermind behind it all was Wu Tianyi.
MO Xiuchen had previously discovered that Wu Tianyi was involved in a drug scandal related to Xiao Wenqing’s scheme in a subsidiary of MS Group. This meant that Wu Tianyi and Xiao Wenqing must have a significant relationship.
There was some more secret and crucial information that he had not completely grasped yet.
However, these pieces of information were enough to cost Wu Tianyi a lot.
He never told Wen Ran about Wu Tianyi’s existence, he didn’t want her to worry. If he had to tell someone about it, it would be Wen Jin.
“Alright, keep a close eye on Wu Tianyi, see if he meets with Xiao Wenqing.”
A cold glint gathered in MO Xiuchen’s eyes. He knew all too well that uncovering those ancient affairs wouldn’t be done in a day or two. He had been searching for years before finding any clues, and he was determined not to let go.
“Okay, I got it!”
After the call, just as he was about to put away his phone, another call came through. This time, it was from Wen Jin.
Seeing the call, a profound look flashed in MO Xiuchen’s eyes. He had not yet made a call to Wen Jin, but he was already calling. Considering the time, even if Gu Kai had informed him, it wouldn’t be this fast.
His thin lips slightly puckered up as he pressed the answer key, his voice impassively responding, “Hello!”
“MO Xiuchen, I want to ask about a person.”
No falseness, no pleasantries, Wen Jin got straight to the point as soon as he started speaking.
“Who?”
MO Xiuchen’s eyes slightly narrowed. In his heart, the name ‘Wu Tianyi’ flashed. The next second, Wen Jin’s voice arrived, carrying a refreshingly cool tone, “Wu Tianyi, do you know him?”
“Yes, I know him.”
MO Xiuchen walked over to the leather sofa a few steps away and sat down. He leaned his upright body into the sofa, casually crossed his legs, and responded calmly. In his mind, he wondered why Wen Jin would ask him about Wu Tianyi and if he had found out something..
