Chapter 200: I am very thankful to him
Translator: 549690339
From behind his desk, MO Zixuan, engrossed in documents, raised his handsome face and looked indifferently at Xiao Wenqing. “Get married on your own if you want to, I have a lot of work to do, don’t bother me.”
Xiao Wenqing’s face alternated between pale and flushed. Despite all her sweet words and logical arguments, her son was adamantly against accepting Zhou Lin.
The most he could do was to maintain the current relationship.
Allowing her to live in the MO family was already his biggest concession and tolerance.
“Don’t think I don’t know, you’ve never forgotten that little slut, Wen Ran, in your heart. Zixuan, I warn you now, if you don’t agree to marry Zhou Lin, I will make Wen Ran disappear from this world, so you will never see her again!” Xiao Wenqing’s harsh words and cold gaze left the air in the office suddenly stagnant.
Behind the desk, MO Zixuan abruptly stood up. The upscale swivel chair, due to his force, slid back two meters, hit the cabinet behind it, and bounced back.
“If you dare to hurt Wen Ran again, I will make the child in Zhou Lin’s belly disappear.”
A sharp glint suddenly burst from MO Zixuan’s eyes. He looked coldly at Xiao Wenqing. He sneered and said, “To protect your secret, you didn’t hesitate to destroy my happiness by having Zhou Mingfu in on it. Now, you’re forcing me to marry Zhou Lin. Mother, don’t I matter at all to you?”
Xiao Wenqing’s face turned deathly pale as she retorted, “How can you not matter? You are my only son. If it wasn’t for you to inherit the MO family’s property, would I have needed to ruthlessly deal with MO Xiuchen and let Zhou Mingfu hold something over me, threatening me?”
She didn’t know that MO Zixuan had already found out the truth about that night.
She thought that his refusal to marry Zhou Lin was because he couldn’t forget
Wen Ran.
MO Zixuan laughed coldly, a sadness that couldn’t be articulated filled his heart. He was her only son. All that she had done was for him, what a good excuse, and what great maternal love that was.
But, he didn’t need it!
He would rather be like MO Xiuchen, without a mother, than endure a mother like her, who acts selfishly under the banner of love.
“Zixuan!”
Xiao Wenqing called out softly. MO Zixuan’s laughter made her feel a chill in her heart. A bad premonition surged.
MO Zixuan looked at her mockingly and retorted, “You don’t know why I’m laughing? Fine, let me tell you. I’m laughing at myself.”
“Zixuan?
Xiao Wenqing didn’t like this feeling. Since Wen Ran had married MO Xiuchen, her son had changed. He no longer listened to her and had become someone she could not understand.
“I’ve found out the truth about what happened between Zhou Lin and me that night!”
MO Zixuan suddenly stopped laughing. His eyes stared sharply at Xiao Wenqing. This was his mother, who was constantly thinking of hurting the woman he loved, over and over again.
Xiao Wenqing’s face changed colors once again. She steadied herself and said, “You found out? Is it MO Xiuchen? It must be him, right? He let you and Zhou Lin end up in bed, and then he took the opportunity to take Wen Ran away, to take revenge on you.”
“Yes, it was MO Xiuchen, but I am very grateful to him!”
The emotions in MO Zixuan’s eyes were unclear, whether they were anger or resentment, or perhaps, merely sadness. Knowing the truth had not changed the fact that Wen Ran and MO Xiuchen were deeply in love.
“You’re grateful to him, Zixuan, have you gone crazy with anger?”
The anxiety that Xiao Wenqing felt had not subsided upon knowing MO Xiuchen was involved, but had instead increased. If MO Zixuan could find out that it was MO Xiuchen’s doing that night, then he could also find out that it was her idea from the start.
“I was crazy, yes. I had been very foolish, getting my comeuppance and reaping what I had sown. If it wasn’t for your attempts to destroy Wen Ran, why would MO Xiuchen have used your own trap against you, forcing Zhou Lin and me to end up together.”
MO Zixuan looked at Xiao Wenqing with cold and unfamiliar eyes. Seeing that Xiao Wenqing flinched, he sneered again, walked out of the sofa and Xiao Wenqing instinctively took a step back.
“Mother, did you think that I would never find out the truth and would never know the truth about that night, huh?”
“Let me tell you, I was truly resentful towards MO Xiuchen. I resented him for setting me up and stealing Wen Ran. But now, I suddenly don’t hate him anymore. Do you know why?”
Xiao Wenqing shook her head unconsciously. Her mind was in chaos. MO Zixuan in this state made her extremely anxious.
“Compared to the night I spent with Zhou Lin, I am more grateful to him for saving the woman I love. If it wasn’t for him, Ranran would have been destroyed by you and Zhou Lin. Isn’t it about time you tell me why you did that?”
Under MO Zixuan’s coercion, Xiao Wenqing retreated to the center of the room. Her panic settled down rapidly, “Isn’t it all because of you that I did this? After the Wen family’s troubles, Wen Ran would only be a burden to you. If you supported her, your father would definitely disapprove. I can’t stand to watch you ruin your future for a woman.”
“Ha ha, do you have a better excuse?”
MO Zixuan laughed until tears streamed down his face. He looked at Xiao Wenqing with a mocking gaze.
“Zixuan, whether you believe it or not, everything your mother has done is for you. It’s good that you know the truth. Now, Wen Ran has fallen in love with MO Xiuchen, and MO Xiuchen’s many years of illness were all a lie. Now, as the
CEO, the next thing he will do is to ruthlessly eliminate us, mother and son!”
“So what?”
MO Zixuan said without caring. He knew the truth about last night, after which he drank all night at his apartment. His head was still dizzy. The only clear thing was that he had lost the woman he loved.
This was something he could never forget even if he got so drunk he lost consciousness.
Xiao Wenqing was shaking with anger. She rushed over and shook MO Zixuan violently by the shoulders, ‘Zixuan, listen carefully, I will not allow you to continue to be disheartened because of Wen Ran. What you need to do is take back what belongs to you. I’ve planned the rest. All you need to do is follow my instructions and you can seize control of the company from MO Xiuchen!”
“Then you can go seize it yourself! ”
MO Zixuan let her shake him for a while, then suddenly flung her off, turned around, grabbed his car keys, and ignored Xiao Wenqing, who stumbled back a few steps before steadying herself, and left the office.
“Zixuan, where are you going?”
The answer to Xiao Wenqing was the sharp sound of the luxurious peach wood door being slammed shut. She stared at the closed door, biting her lips hard. Her eyes turned sinister. All of this was Wen Ran’s fault!
Had it not been for Wen Ran bewitching Zixuan’s heart, he would never have rejected her arrangements. The words he said just now clearly showed resentment towards his own mother.
She would not allow her son to hate her. The one Zixuan should hate was Wen Ran.. She had to remove Wen Ran from Zixuan’s heart!
