“Wenqing, didn’t I tell you to avoid contacting me recently? Why are you calling again?”
The voice of Wu Tianyi transmitted over the radio waves, seeping into Xiao Wenqing’s ears with dissatisfaction. She fürrowed her brows, a hint of displeasure surfacing on her face as she coldly said, “If it weren’t for a major issue, I wouldn’t have called you.”
“What significant issue has cropped up? Has there been a problem with MO Zixuan’s health following deep hypnosis or has he simply not forgotten Wen Ran?”
Professor Fu was the one that Wu Tianyi had found for Xiao Wenqing. It’s no wonder he would think this way when she calls at this hour.
“It’s not Zixuan who is in trouble, but Wen Ran. She is not Wen Hongrui’s
biological daugnter. I wanted you to nave someone In F City Investigate. ‘I’ms might reveal Wen Ran’s origin.”
“Are you serious?”
Over the phone, Wu Tianyi was taken aback by her news.
“Of course it’s true. If Zixuan hadn’t been hypnotised to forget about Wen Ran, I wouldn’t have known. Just now, I saw a message Zhou Lin sent to Zixuan. She threatened Zixuan if he didn’t go to see her in the hospital, she would leak the news that Wen Ran is not Wen Hongrui’s real daughter to the media.”
“Zhou Mingfu’s daughter? Why haven’t I heard Zhou Mingfu mention this?”
Wu Tianyi was a bit skeptical. Zhou Mingfu couldn’t wait to get rid of Wen Ran. If Zhou Mingfu knew about Wen Ran’s identity, it was unlikely he would keep it quiet.
Xiao Wenqing scoffed, “Zhou Lin definitely hasn’t told Zhou Mingfu. Some time ago, I was a bit puzzled as to why Zixuan had suddenly changed his attitude towards Zhou Lin. Now it seems clear that it was because of Wen Ran. However, that annoying Zhou Lin is tight-lipped and unwilling to give away any information to me.”
“If she really won’t talk, we can just investigate on our own.”
“Wen Hongrui relocated from F City to G City. They have been in G City for almost seventeen years, which perfectly coincides with the time when the little girl who set MO Xiuchen free disappeared. I’m starting to suspect whether Wen Ran could be that little girl.”
“Can it really be that coincidental?”
“I too hope it isn’t that coincidental. The little girl was severely wounded and ill when she escaped. If left untreated, she certainly would have not survived.”
As Xiao Wenqing recalled the events of that year, her eyes once again darkened with malevolence.
“Don’t frighten yourself with your conjectures. I’ll first have someone investigate and get back to you. That little girl had a mole on her chin which Wen Ran doesn’t have. If she really is that little girl, it means that Wen Hongrui purposefully concealed everything. Him concealing this doesn’t make sense.”
Wu Tianyi mused for a moment, his analysis was rational. Hearing his reasoning, Xiao Wenqing felt he made sense and that she had overthought the situation.
She reached out to rub her forehead, her voice threadbare with fatigue, “Maybe I am unsettled because of the blow I received from MO Xiuchen recently, always overthinking. By the way, how’s your pharmaceutical plant?”
“I’m planning to abandon the pharmaceutical plant. If I continue, MO Xiuchen is bound to uncover more information. He’s got me under a tight surveillance.”
Speaking of this, Wu Tianyi’s tone became annoyed and spiteful. He’d let MO Xiuchen gloat for a while, and when he dropped his guard, he would deliver a devastating blow.
“That’s fine. You have more than just a pharmaceutical plant. Let it go bankrupt. MO Xiuchen has replaced all my men in the corporation recently.
Now almost all the people in the corporation are his. I think he’s going to kick Zixuan out of the corporation next.”
Xiao Wenqing was also frustrated. She had worked hard for so many years and yet had been outmaneuvered by MO Xiuchen.
What was even more annoying was that MO Xiuchen wasn’t alone, he had two aides Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng. If they were just regular aides, it wouldn’t matter so much. But they were both influential figures.
“Don’t worry, once I am prepared, I will avenge all these grievances.”
The more Wu Tianyi loathed MO Xiuchen, the more he managed to keep his cool. He knew how formidable his opponent was and couldn’t afford to be careless. His pharmaceutical plant served as a clear example.
Next, he was determined to leave MO Xiuchen unable to retaliate.
“Good. Now that Zixuan has forgotten about Wen Ran, start acting immediately and remove her from the picture. Every day she remains, my heart remains unsettled.”
In Xiao Wenqing’s view, removing Wen Ran would deal a heavy blow to MO Xiuchen. Over the vears. MO Xiuchen had been cold-hearted. ruthless. and flawless, leaving her no way to counter. She was always put on the defensive and finally swallowed up.
But now, he cares for a woman.
With this in mind, Xiao Wenqing had a cold sneer on her lips. Men are indeed creatures that think with their lower body.
MO Jingteng was once deeply infatuated with her, and now MO Xiuchen is irresistibly attracted to Wen Ran. It’s just a pity that Wen Ran is not her person.
The next day, it was already past ten in the morning when MO Xiuchen received a call from Little Liu, who was reporting on last night’s events.
In a black and white themed office, MO Xiuchen’s muscular physique, clad in a white shirt, was lazily leaning against the high-end executive chair. Holding a mobile phone in one hand and a partially smoked cigarette in the other, he asked with a teasing tone, “Did you just wake up?”
It seems, last night’s battle was fierce.
Little Liu blushed over the phone to the point where his voice became twisted,
“Boss, stop making fun of me.”
“Ha ha, I’m not making fun of you, I’m congratulating you.”
MO Xiuchen’s deep laughter echoed in the spacious office. He was genuinely pleased. Little Liu had been too honest before, too timid to even make a girlfriend. Speaking with a beautiful woman for a few minutes would turn his face red.
“Boss!”
Little Liu’s voice was pleading.
MO Xiuchen stopped laughing, and with pleasure said, “Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. However, you must answer one question for me, no lying.”
“Boss, what question? Just ask.”
“Last time, your time with Cheng Jia was due to the effects of the drug and probably felt somewhat surreal. Tell me, after being with her last night, do you still dislike her like before? Or do you have other feelings for her, or, at least, that you like her body?”
MO Xiuchen’s overly direct question left Little Liu at a loss for words.
After a long silence, Little Liu finally answered hesitantly, “Boss, I’m not a lustful person. Even if Cheng Jia is pretty, has a good figure, and is unparalleled in bed, I won’t be bewitched by her.”
“Sigh, you misunderstood me. What I meant is, if you like her, just go for it. Let her bear your children.”
MO Xiuchen feared that if he asked further, Little Liu might burst into tears. He couldn’t help but sigh, his tone becoming gentler.
“Boss, I’ll listen to you. I’ll do whatever you say.”
In Little Liu’s heart, the Boss is always placed first. He would absolutely not have any other loyalties for a woman..
