Translator: 549690339
The next day, the weather was clear, it was a good day.
However, it was also destined to be a tumultuous one.
Just as the day broke, reporters from various media outlets eagerly flocked to the address mentioned in last night’s mysterious call to capture MO Xiuchen, the soon-to-be President of MS Group, and his secretary …
If MO Xiuchen were single, this explosive news would perhaps merely be a
tactic to boost sales, but he is a married man, hence, once this gets exposed, it will turn into a scandal.
Further, today is his inauguration day as the Group President. All those sharp-eyed reporters, while excitedly thinking about the headlines, also speculated that MO Xiuchen must have been set up.
As to who engineered this plot, they didn’t need to think too hard to figure it out.
Within the MO family, there are only two brothers, MO Xiuchen and MO Zixuan, one is the son of MO Jingteng’s ex-wife, another is the step-mother’s son. No matter how tolerant Xiao Wenqing appeared to the media, MO Xiuchen never hid his coldness towards her.
The people who would be least pleased with MO Xiuchen inheriting the company would obviously be MO Jingteng’s current wife and son, Xiao
Wenqing and MO Zixuan. And it was rumored that MO Xiuchen’s current wife, Wen Ran, used to date MO Zixuan.
Within the wealthy families, there has always been a mix of gratitude and resentment, guessing this reasoning was beyond reporters. All they could do was to seize today’s headline, write some intriguing content, and gain the best sales.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of a quiet villa in the suburbs.
“Ranran, I’m going to dress you.”
When MO Xiuchen brought the clothes out of the walk-in closet, Wen Ran glared at him resentfully, holding the quilt with one hand and snatching away the clothes with the other, “You, get out.”
After Wen Ran had freshened up and stepped out of the room, MO Xiuchen had just ended a call. As he turned around and saw her, a charming smile dazzled from the depths of his eyes, grasping her soft little hand, he praised, “Ranran, you look really beautiful today!”
Originally a little annoyed, Wen Ran’s face inadvertently flushed as soon as she was praised, an endearing blush spread across her face, instantly melting her anger into a tender and charming demeanor.
“Hurry up and have breakfast, or you’re going to be late.”
With her heart pounding erratically under his intense gaze, Wen Ran averted her gaze and quickly stepped ahead.
The outfit she wore today was chosen by MO Xiuchen, this year’s latest fashion trend, a dress that fit her exquisite figure perfectly. The classic red color, rather than making her seem ordinary, made her appear like a blooming rose, captivating to the eyes.
“I’ve already spoken to your brother, you won’t be going to the pharmaceutical factory today. Have breakfast and come to the company with me.”
MO Xiuchen’s warm, deep voice fell on Wen Ran’s ears. Deliberately slowing his steps to walk in harmony with Wen Ran, the handsome man and the beautiful woman, no matter how one looked, were the perfect match.
Wen Ran was just about to step onto the stairs when she heard his words, her pace faltered as she turned to look at MO Xiuchen, who was almost one head taller than her, “Why do you make decisions without my consent?”
He had just said such provoking words last night that upset her brother, and now, first thing in the morning, he was acting arbitrarily again, not allowing her to go to the hospital. What exactly was this man planning to do?
MO Xiuchen looked into her displeased eyes, narrowed his long eyes, and nonchalantly retorted, “You were the one who persuaded me to take over the company initially. You said you wanted to be the envied wife of a President, so I complied to fulfill your wishes. On such an important day like today, how could you not be present?”
Wen Ran choked on his words, momentarily unable to respond. She glared at him resentfully and walked down the stairs in silence.
Back then, she said those words not because she really wanted to be a President’s wife, but because she believed that MO Xiuchen was deserving of that position. Not just because he had the capability to run the group, but also because he could provide a better future for the group’s employees.
He should have known, but instead, he used her words against her leaving her speechless. She cursed him silently, this scheming man was driving her nuts.
“Don’t curse me in your mind.”
MO Xiuchen’s teasing voice floated above her, leaving Wen Ran stunned. She hastily denied his accusation, “I didn’t.”
MO Xiuchen’s deep eyes emitted a sharp ray of light, the corner of his mouth curving into a charming smile, “It’s written all over your face. Don’t worry about your brother not being able to manage the pharmaceutical factory. I’ve already called Ah Mu to pick up your brother from the hospital and assist him in resolving the matter with Zhou Mingfu.”
“Isn’t Ah Mu your special assistant? Can you manage to get by on such an important day without him?”
Wen Ran was a little worried. By substituting Ah Mu for her, was MO Xiuchen out of his mind? While she wouldn’t be of much help to him, Ah Mu was a different case altogether.
MO Xiuchen offered a faint smile, countering her worry, “Are you concerned about me? Afraid that I won’t be able to handle Xiao Wenqing and the bribed directors?”
Caught off guard by his question, Wen Ran frowned, “I just think you’re silly. Ah Mu is your assistant. He can help you in all matters today. You shouldn’t have asked him to go to the pharmaceutical factory and me to your company.
At best, I’m just a flower vase..”
