Chapter 269: Getting closer to the truth is equivalent to getting closer to danger.

Wen Ran turned slightly pale.
She told MO Zixuan about the past, not for herself, but hoping that, once he knew about Xiao Wenqing’s actions, he wouldn’t help her in her plans to harm MS Group.
What her brother was worried about, however, was that Xiao Wenqing had erased MO Zixuan’s memory in order to harm her.
Feeling shocked and deeply moved by her brother’s consideration for her, she reassured him, “Brother, don’t worry. I will be very, very careful, I won’t give Xiao Wenqing any chance to harm me.”
“Yes, you must be careful. The closer we get to the truth, the more danger we encounter. If Xiao Wenqing and Zhou Mingfu were capable of causing such a car accident, they are surely not kind-hearted people.”
Recalling the car accident, anger flared within Wen Jin . He had always believed that Zhou Mingfu had brought about the downfall of their family to save himself and to seize Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory.
But it wasn’t just him; there were others behind the scenes too.
Wen Ran nodded, “Brother, I know. Yesterday, Cheng Jia gave MO Xiuchen a diary that she has been keeping for years. It contains some clues and a shocking revelation that Xiao Wenqing, although married to MO Jingteng, has been involved with another man.”
“Is it Wu Tianyi?”
Wen Jin’s eyes flickered, asking calmly.
“Brother, how did you know?”
Wen Ran was surprised, wondering when he had found out.
Wen Jin gave a small smile and said lightly, “I found out by accident when investigating Zhou Mingfu. But I only knew that Wu Tianyi and Xiao Wenqing were connected and had done things together. I didn’t know about their affair. MO Jingteng caused his wife to jump off a building for Xiao Wenqing, almost had MO Xiuchen killed too, only to end up wearing a green hat.”
“That’s his retribution.”
His voice paused, then he slowly exhaled. His initial dissatisfaction and later disputes with MO Xiuchen had turned into acceptance now.
He had seen how MO Xiuchen cared for Ranran.
Especially a few days ago, when Gu Kai told him that MO Xiuchen had come to see him for a medical examination and left the hospital with a diagnosis of infertility.
He was both shocked and experienced mixed emotions then.
After everything had calmed down, he accepted MO Xiuchen wholeheartedly. His kindness towards Ranran was no less than his own.
Actually, he had done more for her than he could ever have done in his capacity as a brother.
At least recently, he had constantly protected Ranran, reaching her side without fail each time she was in danger. He felt inadequate in comparison.
“Brother, there is something I need your advice on.”
Wen Ran pondered and began hesitantly.
“What is it? You look hesitant, which isn’t like you. Is it related to MO Xiuchen?
Just say it.”
Wen Jin saw through her and spoke with a teasing tone.
Wen Ran gave a soft smile, “A while ago, Qin Mu lost a cooking contest with MO Xiuchen. If he lost, he had to work at the factory for a week. As a result, he lost and had to replace Uncle Liu on a business trip. He will return tomorrow and continue working here until he completes the week.”
Wen Jin smiled, “That’s a good thing. With someone to help, you can rest for a while. ”
“But, juggling both sides might be exhausting for him. In a moment of impetuosity, I offered to work in his place and become MO Xiuchen’s secretary for a week, helping in ways I could.”
As Wen Ran said this, she felt slightly guilty and dared not meet Wen Jin’s eyes. She didn’t know what came over her when she suggested sending herself into the lion’s den.
Wen Jin’s eyes slightly narrowed, and then he laughed heartily, speaking in a
carefree tone, “Alright, I agree. From tomorrow, you can go and become MO Xiuchen’s secretary. I believe he won’t tire you out. As for Qin Mu, when he returns, I can assign him more tasks. After all, we can’t let MO Xiuchen benefit without a reason.”
MO Zixuan did not remember the forgotten events due to Wen Ran’s words.
That evening, he and Xiao Wenqing sat down for dinner together. Sitting at the table, Xiao Wenqing’s face was gloomy, and she didn’t have any appetite.
A hint of light flashed in MO Zixuan’s eyes. He gave a small smile and said gently, “Mom, you should eat a little. Starving yourself is not good for your health.”
Xiao Wenqing gave him a look and couldn’t help but complain, “I don’t feel like eating at all. Zixuan, you’ve seen it too. MO Xiuchen wants to drive us out. He didn’t just replace the people I had trained for many years, he also replaced the three collaborating companies at once. If it was just a replacement, it would still be acceptable. But he tricked them into breaking the contract and demanded a high penalty.”
Thinking about this, Xiao Wenqing felt like spitting blood in anger.
In the afternoon, Wu Tianyi and the bosses of the other two companies had called her.
They questioned her about the situation. No amount of explanation could smooth things over.
Even Wu Tianyi accused her, saying that she had been too kind over the years.
This had allowed MO Xiuchen, a man as cruel as a wolf, to grow up and get a chance to bite them.
She was full of resentment and frustration with nowhere to vent.
Hurt everywhere due to anger throughout the day.
MO Zixuan’s face turned slightly grim too.
There was a subtle anger lurking between his brows, which he seemed to be consciously suppressing not to agitate Xiao Wenqing.
He served Xiao Wenqing a bowl of soup and filially said, “Mom, don’t fuel your anger because of MO Xiuchen. It’s just what he wants, right?”
“How can I not be angry.”
Xiao Wenqing ground her teeth, wishing to cut MO Xiuchen into pieces, “If I had known he was this ruthless, I would never have let him grow up.”
“Mom, you can’t say such things casually. Be careful not to let others hear it.
They might think you’ve done something.”
The more MO Zixuan comforted her, the more Xiao Wenqing’s anger flared.
She said bitterly, “I absolutely cannot let MO Xiuchen drive us out of the company, Zixuan, from tomorrow, you have to gather evidence of everything MO Xiuchen has done. I want him to regret what he’s done to us.” “Mom, what are you going to do?”
MO Zixuan was taken aback by the ruthless look in Xiao Wenqing’s eyes.
His grip on the chopsticks involuntarily tightened.
If it were in the past, Xiao Wenqing would have kept it a secret from MO Zixuan.
Because for Wen Ran, he had fought with her several times. But now, he had forgotten about Wen Ran and had been following her orders these past days, appearing to be the obedient son of the past.
She had no need to keep it a secret from him anymore and said frankly, “In business, MO Xiuchen has no weaknesses, and we can’t find any either. His only weakness is Wen Ran. That enchanting little demon has cast some spell on him. However, the more he is infatuated with her, the easier it will be for us to wound him.”
“Wen Ran? Oh, I think I’ve met her once. She came to see MO Xiuchen one day and I bumped into her. Mom, are you planning to threaten MO Xiuchen with
MO Zixuan feigned effort to recollect, his brows slightly furrowed, looking at Xiao Wenqing with a puzzled face..
