“You should answer the call first, listen to what Uncle Bai has to say.”
Seeing that the phone in Xiaoxiao’s hand kept ringing non-stop, Wen Ran wrinkled his brow and gently reminded her.
Xiaoxiao nodded, took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and didn’t put her cell phone close to her ear. From a distance, she yelled into the phone, “Dad, what’s up?
“Xiaoxiao, you come home right now!”
Thankfully she didn’t put her cell phone against her ear, or else her ears would have been deafened by her father’s roar. Even Wen Ran, sitting across from her, could hear the voice on the other end of the phone very clearly.
“Dad, what happened?”
Xiaoxiao played dumb and asked. She was clear in her heart that it must have something to do with Luo Haofeng.
“Young Master Luo just called me, saying with great anger that our employees were harassing him, and the hard-earned cooperation has gone down the drain because of this. Xiaoxiao, this is your doing, if you don’t resolve this matter, don’t bother calling me your father again!” It seems, this time her father really lost his temper.
“Okay, I’ll head back immediately.”
Xiaoxiao frowned and cursed Luo Haofeng in her heart for making a fuss over such a small matter.
“Ranran, could you call MO Xiuchen for me and ask him to help? Can he not listen to that liar Luo Haofeng’s words? If we lose this opportunity for a collaboration with MS Group, my father will kick me out of the house.”
Because of what Xiaoxiao said before leaving, Wen Ran, sitting behind her office desk, actually dialed MO Xiuchen’s number.
However, the result disappointed her.
MO Xiuchen, on the other end of the phone, said indifferently, “The case with the Bai family was handed over to Ah Feng, and I have given him full authority.
Ranran, I can’t help with this.”
Wen Ran frowned on this end of the phone and responded with a simple ‘Oh’ , not bothering to pester MO Xiuchen.
“Xiuchen, it seems you haven’t prioritized love over friendship to the point of being irredeemable, rest assured, I’m just teaching Xiaoxiao a lesson, and won’t let Wen Ran blame you for that.”
At the top floor of MS Building, Luo Haofeng’s cheerful laughter echoed in the
CEO’s office. MO Xiuchen coldly huffed and gave him an unwelcome farewell, “If there’s nothing else, you can return to your office and stop being an eyesore.”
Earlier, he heard Wen Ran’s faint sound of disappointment, which inexplicably clenched his heart. At this moment, looking at Luo Haofeng, he found him utterly distasteful in every way.
Luo Haofeng didn’t take it seriously, he whistled merrily and left MO Xiuchen’s office.
After the office door closed behind Luo Haofeng, MO Xiuchen contemplated for a moment, took out his cell phone, intending to call Wen Ran back and let her know that Luo Haofeng was just punishing Xiaoxiao for having someone harass him at noon, when his cell phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Little Liu!
“Young Master, Cheng Jia committed suicide by cutting her wrists…” MO Xiuchen’s eyebrows knitted, and he asked calmly, “Can she be saved?”
“I don’t know, the doctors are trying to save her. I was afraid that the time spent on the way to Kangning Hospital would delay her treatment, so I took her to the nearest hospital.”
Little Liu’s voice sounded strange, unsure whether he was too shocked by Cheng Jia’s actions, or if just as Wen Ran suspected, after that night, he developed different feelings towards Cheng Jia.
“Hmm, I’m bit busy right now. You stay at the hospital, let me know the result later. ”
MO Xiuchen didn’t ask why Cheng Jia would cut her wrists, or how Little Liu knew about it. A trace of gloom flashed in the depths of his eyes, and was soon replaced by a layer of cold indifference.
“Alright, Young Master.”
Wen Ran found out about Cheng Jia’s attempted suicide after she got home.
MO Xiuchen told Wen Ran at lunch that he had business commitments in the evening. After she finished work, she didn’t go home immediately, instead, she went to the hospital to have dinner with her brother, Wen Jin.
It was already past nine in the evening when she got home.
Nanny Zhang was making soup, and when she saw Wen Ran return, she immediately asked warmly if she had eaten. Wen Ran asked casually, and Nanny Zhang told her that Cheng Jia committed suicide by cutting her wrists in the afternoon, and was lucky to be discovered in time and saved.
She was making this soup to give to Cheng Jia.
“Does Xinchen know about it?”
Wen Ran hesitated slightly, looking towards the aromatic kitchen. Nanny Zhang nodded, “Young Master MO asked me to make some soup, Little Liu will come to pick it up later.”
“Alright, continue about your business. I will go upstairs.”
MO Xiuchen’s business dinner ended, and it was already eleven o’clock.
Because of his actions at noon, he had annoyed Qin Mu, so at this evening’s dinner, Qin Mu used the excuse that he was feeling unwell and passed the wine he was supposed to drink to MO Xiuchen.
Qin Mu played it out so convincingly that MO Xiuchen had no choice but to drink his share of the wine as well.
Thankfully his alcohol tolerance was good, despite having drunk a lot, he wasn’t drunk and his mind stayed clear.
When he got to Cheng Jia’s hospital room, she had not fallen asleep yet. Her eyes aimlessly stared at the ceiling. The blood loss had made her face pale and devoid of color. In just a few days, she had become gaunt and haggard, visibly worse than when she had sustained a head injury.
Upon seeing MO Xiuchen, her eyes flickered, but they only held surprise, not happiness. Perhaps she had given up, and it was only when he entered the room and walked towards her that she wrinkled her forehead due to him reeking of alcohol. She said to Little Liu, “Young Master MO must be uncomfortable after drinking. Why didn’t you take him home and instead, brought him to the hospital?”
Little Liu’s face changed slightly. This was the first thing Cheng Jia had said to him after she came to after her suicide attempt.
The tone sounded somewhat peculiar, but he couldn’t put his finger on what was off about it.
MO Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed, his deep gaze fixed on Cheng Jia, “I heard from Little Liu that you attempted suicide by slitting your wrists this afternoon, what’s going on?”
Cheng Jia seemed reluctant to meet his gaze, she lowered her head, bit her lower lip, and finally said quietly, “I don’t have the face to live.”
MO Xiuchen sneered coldly, “Just because you had sexual relations with Little
Liu, and now you feel you can’t face yourself? Cheng Jia, do you feel that Little Liu isn’t good enough for you, or is it because this is all too different from what you originally planned?” “Young Master!”
Little Liu called out anxiously!
MO Xiuchen turned his head, and looked sharply at Little Liu, Little Liu stiffened, his expression froze for a moment.
“I asked Nanny Zhang to make soup, you go back and get it.”
MO Xiuchen glanced at the small table in front of the hospital bed. There was no sign of a thermal flask on it and there was only the smell of disinfectant in the room, no other smells. It seems that Little Liu has yet to bring the soup that Nanny Zhang made.
“Okay!”
Little Liu nodded, quickly exited the room and closed the door behind him.
In the room, Cheng Jia looked at MO Xiuchen with complex emotions, there was a mix of shock and suspicion in her heart, and a glimmer of joy that she had pushed deep into her heart.
She thought he completely despised her, but he actually asked Nanny Zhang to make soup for her.
Could it be that he still has a little bit of concern for her?
Even if it’s because she is still of use to him, she’s willing, as long as there’s still a little bit of concern for her in his heart..
