“If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
MO Xiuchen remained silent for a long time, and after MO Jingteng on the other end of the phone shouted his name, he too fell silent.
He didn’t want to ask MO Jingteng how he found out or how much he knew.
Originally, he thought he could be completely indifferent to ‘their family’ affairs and show only coldness with no trace of affection.
But now, he realized that there is still a small bit of care in his heart, and it is because he cares, that he harbors hatred.
He hated his lack of compassion towards his mother and him in the past, his indifference over the years, and his assault on the woman he loved the last time, all the hatred combined eradicated the meager familial affection.
“Xiuchen, the day I see your mother, I will apologize to her personally. Now, I want to know, what are your plans? I won’t let Xiao Wenqing go, you mentioned that day that she had someone on the outside, do you know who that man is?
Xiao Wenqing had been very cautious, and without employing every means, MO Jingteng would not have been able to uncover these clues, but even so, in a short period of time, he couldn’t figure out who that man was.
“Wu Tianyi.”
MO Xlucnen said a name coldly.
“Wu Tianyi? So, it’s him!”
MO Jingting’s voice had a grinding, gnashing taste to it, a bloodthirsty ferocity. It is apparent that knowing about the existence of this adulterer, he would definitely not let him off.
“Over the years, Wu Tianyi has climbed to a worth of tens of billions by leveraging his relationship with Xiao Wenqing. He owns three companies and other equities. Among them, Anlian, Qingda, and Linhui, the former two see him and Xiao Wenqing as major shareholders, while the third company has him as the true boss behind the scenes.”
The reason why MO Xiuchen went into such details was to harshly strike at MO Jingteng, mocking how foolish he was, thinking he was smart, but in the end, he helped his own wife and her lover make money.
Those three companies had been cooperating with MS Group for five years, signifying just how much trust he placed in Xiao Wenqing.
“Xiuchen, I’ve heard that you’ve replaced those three companies. Over the years, it was my carelessness that allowed Xiao Wenqing to hoodwink me. I will personally kill her and her adulterer. The company in the future will be solely yours. Regardless of whether MO Zixuan is my son or not, he won’t get a single penny.”
MO Xiuchen sneered, “I’m not Xiao Wenqing, I don’t need you to buy me off with money and power. I only want what belongs to me, what’s not mine, I don’t want it even if given.”
What should be his, he would not give to anyone else.
Over the years, he knew very well how many profits he created for MS Group.
“I did not mean that, Xiuchen. Without you, the group would have been taken over by Xiao Wenqing and her cuckold by now. All that, you deserve it.” MO Jingteng finally sobered up.
Given his total indulgence in Xiao Wenqing, she got whatever she wanted, and he continuously cooperated with the companies she introduced. Under such circumstances, it wouldn’t be difficult for Xiao Wenqing to empty his company.
He didn’t know why he was so addicted to Xiao Wenqing before, until last time he found out that he had been slowly poisoned, then he gradually understood.
Over the years, Xiao Wenqing must have been drugging him, but not with poison, but some other drug…
Wen Ran had grown used to sleeping in MO Xiuchen’s arms. When she woke up in a daze, not feeling his warmth or his breath, she woke up.
Inside the dim room, the spot beside her was empty, and when she touched it, it was slightly cool.
She frowned lightly, quietly got out of bed, and through the crack of the study door, she saw a light seeping out.
Yet, there was no sound inside.
What was MO Xiuchen doing in the study at this late hour, was he working overtime? These days, because of the cooperation with new companies, he had been very busy.
At this thought, Wen Ran felt a pang of heartache. She tiptoed to the study door and was just about to push the door open when she heard MO Xiuchen’s voice from inside. He wasn’t talking to her, but on the phone.
“Ah Kai, tomorrow, the old man might take MO Zixuan to the hospital for a DNA test.”
Wen Ran’s lifted hand stopped in motion. Him calling Ah Kai this late to talk on the phone and mentioning that MO Jingteng was taking MO Zixuan for a DNA test, it seems MO Jingteng was back. He really understood his father.
As she suspected, MO Jingteng wasn’t just on a simple trip, he went to investigate Xiao Wenqing.
From behind the door, she couldn’t hear what Ah Kai said on the other end of the phone. She only heard MO Xiuchen’s voice. Guessing that he was about to finish talking to Ah Kai, Wen Ran again raised her hand, intending to open the door.
But MO Xiuchen seemed to have no intention of hanging up the phone. His voice changed and he mentioned her.
“In a few more days, it will be Ranran’s parents’ birthday. Earlier, Wen Jin told me on the phone that he plans to tell Ranran the truth on her parents’ birthday.”
Wen Ran was startled, a layer of confusion quickly rising in her clear eyes.
On the other end of the phone, Ah Kai naturally knew what truth MO Xiuchen was talking about. He sounded a bit excited, yet very nervous, anxiously saying: “Is this okay, wouldn’t this be too hasty, my dad is still in D Country, so far, we haven’t found…”
“Ah Kai, you’ve long wanted to acknowledge each other, right? It’s rare that Wen Jin agreed to tell Ranran. You don’t have to worry. Actually, I also think it’s time to tell Ranran. Rather than her finding out about her identity one day from someone else’s mouth, let Wen Jin tell her…”
By others in MO Xiuchen’s mouth, he meant Wu Tianyi and Xiao Wenqing, or perhaps, MO Zixuan.
He forgot that Wen Ran might regain memory for a short while, who knows if she would suddenly remember everything one day.
He didn’t know Wen Ran was outside the door.
At this time, Wen Ran outside the door was stiff as a board, her face gradually losing color. It felt like a bomb had exploded in her brain and for a long time, there was nothing in her mind.
Only MO Xiuchen’s words echoed in her ears repeatedly. She felt her heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand. The sharp pain spread instantly to every cell of her body, making even breathing difficult.
She didn’t know where she got her strength from, but all of a sudden she pushed the door open with all her might. With a ‘thud’, the door slammed against the wall. The man on the sofa, who was on the phone, turned around abruptly to see the pale face of the woman standing at the door, frozen in shock!
Across the room, with tearful eyes, Wen Ran looked at MO Xiuchen. Perhaps the room was filled with a faint smoke as she couldn’t see his expression clearly. However, she tried hard to keep her eyes open, staring steadily at him. She wanted to ask what he meant by the words he just said. But, despite opening her mouth, she couldn’t make a sound….
