Luo Haofeng glared at them and said displeasedly, “Don’t laugh too early, your turn will come one day.”
With the way MO Xiuchen handles things, from now on, he will probably pull no punches with anyone involved in Wen Ran’s affairs. He didn’t believe that Gu Kai and Qin Mu had never crossed him.
Gu Kai chuckled and, raising an eyebrow, said lightly, “I’m not as dumb as you.”
Qin Mu wasn’t bothered either. “At most, he would make me work overtime.” As he spoke, he glanced at the two ugly women implying that even if he had to work all-night shifts, it was still better than Luo Haofeng’s current situation.
Luo Haofeng, usually a smooth talker, was now speechless under the ridicule of Gu Kai and Qin Mu. He could only regret his decision to watch the opera tonight, which ended up with him having to keep the company of these two ugly women.
“Let’s go!”
With nowhere to vent his anger, he had no choice but to act hostile towards the two women. But they were so taken by his devilish appearance that they weren’t affected by his rage and laughed, following closely behind him as they left.
Standing in the hospital lobby, Gu Kai and Qin Mu watched Luo Haofeng leave the hospital with the two ugly women, one fat and one thin. Gu Kai turned to Qin Mu and said, “I think you can leave first without waiting for MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran.”
The corner of Qin Mu’s mouth twitched a little. He understood the meaning of Gu Kai’s words. MO Xiuchen had just punished Luo Haofeng for leaving halfway tonight. He had come to the hospital with Wen Ran but failed to protect her properly and almost got her injured.
Given MO Xiuchen’s personality, he surely wouldn’t be ‘kind’ enough to let him off. He didn’t know what kind of challenges awaited him.
“Forget it, I think I should wait. I am indeed responsible for what happened tonight.”
Qin Mu sighed frustratingly, having promised to protect Wen Ran, he shouldn’t have put her in danger. He knew how much MO Xiuchen cared about Wen Ran. When they were watching the security footage, MO Xiuchen spoke to Wen Ran in such a self-blaming tone. If he hadn’t heard it with his own ears or seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that those words could come from MO Xiuchen.
Gu Kai’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said lightly, “Wen Ran was almost hurt tonight, but that was still only a near miss. We should be grateful that not only was Wen Ran not hurt, but we now also know that Zhou Mingfu orchestrated this. Wen Jin will be able to take revenge for her.”
“There must be someone else behind Zhou Mingfu.”
Qin Mu commented coldly. A mere Zhou Mingfu couldn’t possibly stir up such a huge mess. Daring to sentence Wen Hongrui’s family to death, they were previously unaware, but ever since Wen Jin eavesdropped on Zhou Mingfu and learned about his close connections with Xiao Wenqing, Wu Tianyi, and others…
In the upstairs patient room.
MO Xiuchen sat quietly with Wen Ran on the chair in front of the hospital bed, his handsome face was calm and collected, showing no trace of the earlier nervousness and worry.
Wen Jin was not asleep. As Gu Kai had said, the search for the two intruders tonight had made quite a stir. Gu Kai had also visited his hospital room, and despite only exchanging a few irrelevant words, the alert Wen Jin could still sense that something might be related to Ranran.
He had just told Wen Ran that MO Xiuchen’s situation was not better than theirs. Given Zhou Mingfu’s desperation for medicine these days, whether it was Zhou Mingfu or Xiao Wenqing aiming at him and MO Xiuchen, their first target would definitely be Ranran.
So, when he saw MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran walk into the hospital room together, Wen Jin’s expression changed drastically.
They had just sat down and before Wen Ran could explain, he asked first. Wen Ran’s eyes flickered and she admitted, “Brother, those two people have been caught. They were under Zhou Mingfu’s orders. They’ve also agreed to testify against Zhou Mingfu tomorrow.”
Wen Jin’s face was cold, and his eyes flickered with unidentifiable emotions. MO Yu’s eyes seemed to be veiled with mist, making him unreadable.
Feeling a knot in her heart, Wen Ran moved to sit on the hospital bed, took
Wen Jin’s hand, and called softly, “Brother, are you angry at me?”
At this sight, a trace of annoyance appeared in MO Xiuchen’s eyes, but it was quickly hidden.
Without a word, Wen Jin shook his head, his voice faint, “I am not angry with you. I am just wondering if you think your brother can’t protect you anymore, so you didn’t tell me anything.”
Wen Ran turned pale at his words and quickly shook her head, “Brother, it’s not like that. How can you not protect me? Since childhood, you have never let anyone bully me.”
Wen Jin didn’t speak, just quietly looking at Wen Ran, not missing the tiny frown on MO Xiuchen’s face.
Seeing his silence, Wen Ran couldn’t help feeling anxious. She didn’t want her brother to misunderstand that she didn’t need him anymore now that she was married. After their parents died in a car accident, her brother was her only family in this world.
She bit her lip and frowned apologetically, “Brother, I’m sorry. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have kept this from you. Originally, I thought that since this hospital is under Brother Gu’s control, he would definitely find the woman I bit. I planned to tell you once they found her.”
Seeing her frown, Wen Jin couldn’t bear it and stroked her cheek again. “I was the one who told Ranran not to tell you.”
The silent MO Xiuchen suddenly spoke. His voice, cool as water, brushed away the apology in Wen Ran’s eyes. She turned in surprise, only to see MO Xiuchen’s cold eyes fixed on Wen Jin, not looking at her.
“You are injured and knowing this would only make you anxious. Besides, Ranran is my wife now. It’s my responsibility and duty to protect her.” Color drained and then returned to Wen Jin’s face.
MO Xiuchen’s words, clear and explicit, hinted that Wen Ran was now his wife and had nothing to do with Wen Jin.
“MO Xiuchen, stop talking.”
A sudden fear arose in Wen Ran’s heart. Seeing her brother’s face turn pale, she was worried that the two of them would start arguing.
MO Xiuchen glanced at Wen Ran blandly and unflinchingly added, “You don’t need to worry about Ranran’s affairs in the future. If you have energy, focus more on our pharmaceutical factory. Let her get some rest.”
Wen Jin chuckled, but his smile carried a hint of chill, causing Wen Ran to shudder. Without a second thought, she got up and tried to pull MO Xiuchen, “Wait for me outside. I’ll speak a few words to my brother and then come out.”
Knowing her brother’s love and care for her, Wen Ran understood that MO Xiuchen’s words had angered her brother.
“There’s no need for him to leave.”
Wen Jin broke the silence, his deep voice filled with melancholy. He looked at MO Xiuchen intently. This man had always shown his possessiveness towards Ranran, even when he might not have had feelings for her.
Did he think that Wen Ran marrying him meant she had severed ties with her
brother?
