Translator: 549690339
A hint of loss flickered in Cheng Jia’s eyes, but quickly returned to her usual calmness.
She had long understood one thing – to win Mo Xiuchen, she could not be too hasty.
That day, when Xiao Wenqing asked her to cooperate with him and send ambiguous photos to Wen Ran, causing a misunderstanding between Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran, she seized the opportunity to take Ranran away.
Now, with Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi’s affair exposed and them both vanished without a trace, she had to steady herself.
Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi would certainly scheme against Mo Xiuchen again, and the easiest way to do that would be through Wen Ran. She was absolutely sure of this.
She just had to wait, wait for Wen Ran to disappear, then she would have the chance to get closer to Mo Xiuchen. Before that, she must continually improve and perfect herself.
In order to participate in this training, she not only sacrificed her looks to Old man Zhang, but also bought expensive gifts for Mrs Li.
“You can go back to work. Have your personal matters settled by Tuesday.”
Cheng Jia agreed happily, “Alright, Mr President, I will settle my personal affairs.”
Luo Haofeng met Cheng Jia as she was leaving, noticing the happiness dancing on her face. His eyes narrowed as he closed the door, and with the quotation in hand, he marched to the desk and asked, “Mo Xiuchen, what kind of magic potion did you give Cheng Jia to make her so happy?”
Mo Xiuchen took the quotation from him, scanned it, and asked in a casual tone, “Is everything settled?”
Luo Haofeng raised an eyebrow, “Considering who took charge, how could the deal not go smoothly? The contract was signed smoothly last night, but Cheng Jia also deserves credit, she made the company earn millions more.”
“Could it be that she came to claim credit to you?”
Luo Haofeng glanced at Mo Xiuchen and then looked in the direction of the door.
If he didn’t know that Mo Xiuchen had no interest in other women besides Wen Ran, he would really think that Mo Xiuchen and Cheng Jia had done something. Her expression was too suspicious.
Mo Xiuchen scoffed, and coldly said: “Yes, she came to claim credit. However, it’s not work-related, she is pregnant.”
“Pregnant, what does her pregnancy have to do with you, unless you…”
Luo Haofeng’s words were cut short by Mo Xiuchen’s icy glare.
“The child she’s carrying is Little Liu’s. That night, she happened to see Little Liu with a woman named Tong Shishi, so she told him this news. By the way, the information Ah Mu got for me about Tong Shishi, why is it so different from what Cheng Jia said?”
Mo Xiuchen furrowed his brows, Ah Mu seemed worried these past few days.
“Ah Mu, he has been distracted at work these days, let alone helping you investigate that unimportant person Tong Shishi.” Speaking of this, Luo Haofeng suddenly bent over, resting his arm on the desk, leaning his handsome face close to Mo Xiuchen, lowering his voice:
“Mo Xiuchen, do you think Ah Mu might have a crush on a girl but is too shy to confess, so he’s been so distracted?”
Mo Xiuchen shot him a cold look.
With evident interest, Luo Haofeng continued his analysis, “Think about it, Ah Mu has never been in this state before. I’ve been paying attention to him for several days now. Yesterday night when Ah Kai called to say that Bai Xiaoxiao had woken up, Ah Mu was with me. When I asked him if he wanted to go to the hospital, he was caught off guard for a few seconds, then he nonchalantly replied ‘You go yourself, I’m tired, I’m going to sleep’.”
“You guys have indeed been working hard these past few days.”
Mo Xiuchen rarely said something human-like, Luo Haofeng’s eyebrows perked up and he boasted, “Of course, especially those days when you were in the hospital, Ah Mu and I were almost worked to death.”
“Keep an eye on Ah Mu, if he really likes someone, we should help him.”
Mo Xiuchen pondered for a while, then slowly said.
“Help? How do we help? We can’t go courting girls for him, right?”
Luo Haofeng looked at Mo Xiuchen in surprise. Men who had gotten married were just different. If it had been before, such words would never have come from the cold Young Master Mo’s mouth.
Mo Xiuchen gave him a glance, lowered his head and continued looking at the quotation, they were not on the same wavelength.
Luo Haofeng pondered his words for a while and laughed, realising what he meant, “Mo Xiuchen, I understand now. If Ah Mu is too shy to confess to a girl, we should force them into an irreversible situation, and it will be settled.”
“That honorable task is yours.”
Mo Xiuchen casually threw out a sentence.
“You just mentioned that the result of Ah Mu’s investigation of that Tong Shishi differed from what Cheng Jia said. What do you mean? Does Cheng Jia also know Tong Shishi?”
“Hmm!”
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes sank, his voice was somewhat cold, “Not only does she know her, she seems to be quite familiar with Tong Shishi. Later on, make a call to Nanqin Hotel, ask them to pull out the surveillance footage from the past six months. According to Cheng Jia, Tong Shishi has rented rooms there with various men.”
“Really?”
Luo Haofeng looked at Mo Xiuchen in astonishment. How did Little Liu get so lucky? Cheng Jia’s indifference towards him was something he could understand, considering he himself didn’t like Cheng Jia either. But Tong Shishi, whom he seemed to quite like, turned out to be that kind of woman.
“This is what Cheng Jia said, whether it’s true or not can be found out by investigating.”
Mo Xiuchen showed no interest, he had thought from the beginning that Little Liu’s quick attachment to Tong Shishi after meeting after a few days was questionable. That’s why he had asked Ah Mu to investigate her.
Luo Haofeng nodded in agreement, “That’s right, an investigation will reveal the truth. I actually hope Cheng Jia is lying. Otherwise, Little Liu would be really pitiful.”
“Having more experience will do him no harm.”
Mo Xiuchen spoke in a cold tone, Little Liu was just too naive and easily deceived by women. If this were to continue, he felt it would be good for him to get together with that chubby girl next door to his hometown.
Luo Haofeng twitched the corners of his mouth, not responding, he changed the topic instead, “Last night, when Bai Xiaoxiao woke up, did she say anything?”
Last night, when he returned home, he couldn’t sleep the whole night. The more he thought about it, the more he felt like he may have taken it too far. Bai Xiaoxiao was a patient, just saved from the verge of death, even if he wanted to anger her, he should have waited for a while, until she was discharged from the hospital.
“If you feel guilty, just go to the hospital and apologize.”
Without lifting his head, Mo Xiuchen continued to tap the keyboard rapidly, focusing on his work.
Luo Haofeng pouted, a bit of loneliness floated on his enchanting face, “I’m afraid making another trip would anger her to death, Wen Ran would definitely kill me then.”
Mo Xiuchen laughed, stopped what he was doing, and looked up at him with an ambiguous look, “Ah Feng, use your usual tricks to woo women, would Bai Xiaoxiao still be mad enough to die? This morning, when I went to the hospital, Bai Xiaoxiao complained that seeing Wen Ran all day was causing aesthetic fatigue. Conveniently, you just finished work, go buy some fruits and visit her.”
