“But in reality, you are actually trying to pin all the blame on Zhou Mingfu. Why didn’t you say that Zhou Mingfu was also the one who instigated the worker to drop the brick? Or even, that the person who put the drug in the shark fin soup that Ranran drank at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion was Zhou Mingfu
Cheng Jia was rendered speechless by MO Xiuchen’s questioning!
After a while, she shakily started to speak: “Young Master MO, I …”
“If you intend to continue with your lies, then don’t bother saying a word. Your falsehoods don’t interest me. For the truths that you don’t want to expose, I only need to spend a little more time and I can get to the bottom of it. If you’re not sincere, then disappear from my sight immediately and return to Xiao
Wenqing’s side.”
From now on, he would not show her the slightest mercy!
Cheng Jia’s legs wobbled, and she took an unstable step back, finding it almost unbearable to deal with MO Xiuchen’s detached indifference.
“Young Master MO, I am sorry, I will tell you everything I know, whether there is evidence or not. As long as I know it, I swear by the heavens, if I utter one more lie, may I be struck by a car when I step out!” The finger she held up was trembling.
But in her teary eyes, there was firm determination.
MO Xiuchen stared at her deeply, not agreeing or disagreeing, but the atmosphere around him was oppressive and frigid.
The air in the room seemed to have been drained, it was so thin it was almost suffocating.
Within that congealed atmosphere, Cheng Jia didn’t even dare to breathe. Her heart felt like it had been thrown high into the sky, fluttering around with no place to land.
She knew well that MO Xiuchen would not easily believe her. She should have realized from the beginning that he wasn’t one to be easily deceived.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to stay alive till this day and still have control over the corporation. She suddenly felt lost, wondering whether it was fortune or despair that she had fallen in love with him.
No matter how much love she gave, he wouldn’t reciprocate even the slightest bit, he wouldn’t even give her a second glance.
Yet, even so, she couldn’t bear to leave his side, because even just being able to watch him from afar was better than never seeing him at all. With that thought, she hardened her heart and blurted out, “Young Master MO, about
Zhou Mingfu…”
Suddenly, MO Xiuchen’s phone in his pocket began to ring.
The ringtone was clear and pleasing to the ear. The moment he heard the sound, the icy cold look on his face faded away, replaced with warmth and tenderness.
Just witnessing his expression was like a sharp knife stabbing directly into Cheng Jia’s heart. She could feel her heart bleeding, her tightly clenched fingers digging deep into her own flesh.
Without even glancing at Cheng Jia, MO Xiuchen pulled out his phone, answered the call with a clear and pleasant voice, “Hello, Ranran!”
“Xiuchen, I will be working overtime tonight, you don’t need to pick me up.”
Wen Ran’s voice came from the other end, MO Xiuchen’s brows furrowed and he firmly said, “No, the temperature has dropped these past days and it’s too cold. Whatever work you haven’t finished, you can bring it back home to do. You’re not allowed to work overtime at the office.”
“The assembly line workers are working overtime. Today is their final day, we have to ship out the product tomorrow, but there have been some last minute issues, so I need to stay and work overtime.”
“What’s the problem? How about this, I’ll have Ah Feng help you resolve it. He used to manage the pharmaceutical factory, I don’t think there should be a problem that he can’t solve.”
MO Xiuchen, a man who prioritizes his love life over his friends, would easily betray his friend at a critical moment.
Cheng Jia stood in front of him, listening to his conversation with Wen Ran. Her heart was filled with indescribable emotions. If he showed her just one thousandth of the tenderness he was showing Wen Ran, she would be willing to give her all to him.
Wen Ran heard MO Xiuchen speaking in this way on the other end and hesitated, “Wouldn’t it be inappropriate? Luo Haofeng was helping you handle some company matters a few days ago, he is just taking his day off today. I can handle doing a bit of overtime to resolve these issues.”
She still remembered the day at home when Luo Haofeng was so infuriated by MO Xiuchen that he wanted to kill someone. If she asked him to work overtime for her today, there was a chance that Luo Haofeng would cut ties with MO Xiuchen, who clearly showed favoritism for his romantic interest over his friends.
“It’s fine, I gave him a day off in advance, so he has rested for a day. Working overtime tonight won’t be a problem. That’s settled then, I’ll call him now and tell him to go to the factory to find you.”
After speaking, MO Xiuchen’s smile was quite delightful. Before Wen Ran could respond, he hung up her call and dialed Luo Haofeng’s number.
MS Group’s pharmaceutical factory was not smaller than Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory. Moreover, based on Wen Ran’s tone, it didn’t seem to be any serious issue-
Luo Haofeng would probably be able to handle it with no difficulty.
As for favoring his romantic relationship over his friendship and betraying his brother, MO Xiuchen had no concept of these terms. As long as his Ranran wasn’t working too hard, using his brother was no big deal.
Whether Luo Haofeng had a hunch that MO Xiuchen was up to no good or didn’t hear his phone ringing, or didn’t bring his phone, MO Xiuchen listened to the ringing tone over and over again, but Luo Haofeng didn’t pick up. The smile at the corner of his mouth gradually faded away.
“Young Master MO, you can call Assistant Qin. He assisted Miss Wen with her tasks in the past. He has more experience in this aspect.”
Seeing MO Xiuchen look upset, Cheng Jia reminded him in a quiet voice.
MO Xiuchen looked up at her. Before her smile could form, he averted his gaze, thought for a while, and dialed Qin Mu’s number.
Cheng Jia was delighted, knowing that MO Xiuchen had taken her words to heart.
This time, the phone didn’t keep ringing on its own. After only two rings, it was picked up. Qin Mu’s voice came through, “Xiuchen, what’s up?
“Have you resolved the issue at the construction site?”
MO Xiuchen leaned back into the sofa, a hint of laziness creeping onto his handsome face as he casually asked this question.
“I have just resolved it, I was planning to return to the company.”
Qin Mu’s voice combined with the wind and the noise of the construction site in the background was audible. MO Xiuchen’s lips turned upward slightly and he ordered in a calm voice: “Don’t rush back to the company. Head to the factory for now. Ranran ran into a small issue. You go and help her to resolve it as soon as you can, so that she won’t have to work overtime tonight.”
What kind of issue?”
Qin Mu’s voice was full of doubts and confusion.
“I’m not clear about the specifics. She’ll explain when you get there.”
Alright then!”
Although Qin Mu didn’t seem willing, it didn’t affect the smile on MO Xiuchen’s lips. As long as he found someone to work overtime for his Ranran, whether it was Ah Feng or Ah Mu, it didn’t matter.
His mood improved, and so did his tone, “Once you finish this round of work, take a long vacation. I have something else to handle here, you should hurry over!”
What was this? He was treating Qin Mu like a child! Having said that, President MO didn’t wait to hear Qin Mu’s excited or grateful responses, he just hung up the call, looking extremely pleased with himself..
