Chapter 400: Don’t shed tears until the coffin is closed
Translator: 549690339
Mo Xiuchen knew that Mo Zixuan would definitely come to him.
He just didn’t expect it so soon. He had only met Mo Jingteng last night, and this morning, Mo Zixuan was already calling him.
At the time, Little Liu had just arrived home with Tong Shishi. Nanny Zhang and Housekeeper Uncle Liu were both sitting in the living room. Wen Ran was sitting by his side. He only said flatly, “I’ll call you back later.”
By his side, Wen Ran asked with concern, “Xiuchen, do you have something on your mind? If you do, you should handle it first.”
Mo Xiuchen gave a slight smile, “It’s not a big deal; it can wait till later.”
Wen Ran did not say anything more, but she was somewhat confused. From last night to now, Mo Xiuchen seemed to be hiding something from her. Usually, he would tell her everything that was happening.
But last night, he had urgently left without telling her why.
Because he hung up on the person calling him, in less than a minute, the phone rang again. This time, Wen Ran heard that it was Mo Zixuan’s voice, who was not in a good mood: “Mo Xiuchen, don’t try to dismiss me like you did with the old man.”
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes turned cold, and with a glance, he saw Little Liu and Tong Shishi, speaking in a cold voice: “Then come here, I’m at home.”
“Alright!”
Mo Zixuan seemed a bit surprised but after a pause, accepted the invitation through gritted teeth.
He did not believe that Mo Xiuchen would really not fear Wen Ran learning the truth.
“Young Master, are we expecting visitors?”
Seeing that Mo Xiuchen had hung up the phone, Nanny Zhang asked with concern. If they were to have visitors, she would make sure Little Liu and Tong Shishi stepped away.
The coldness in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes disappeared as he casually put away his phone on the table and said lightly, “It’s Mo Zixuan, I don’t know what urgent matter he has with me. He’s in such a rush, so I asked him to come here.”
Across from him, Tong Shishi’s face changed, her hands quietly clasped together.
Mo Zixuan is coming here? She had a relationship with him, and she had thought about marrying Little Liu. She would inevitably run into Mo Zixuan in the future. But she didn’t expect it to be at this time, and in front of Mo Xiuchen.
She was already nervous just facing Mo Xiuchen now.
Little Liu’s face also changed subtly, his expression slightly uncomfortable.
Nanny Zhang and Housekeeper Uncle Liu, hearing Mo Zixuan’s name, instinctively glanced at Tong Shishi. Seeing her head lowered, her lips pursed, and her hands still clasped together, Nanny Zhang frowned. Wen Ran slightly smiled and said calmly, “Miss Tong knows Mo Zixuan too; there’s no need for her to avoid it.”
Mo Xiuchen was very pleased with Wen Ran’s words. He reached over and naturally held her hand in his palm. “Where were we again?”
“We were discussing whether Miss Tong would be willing to get a paternity test done to prove that the child in her womb belongs to Little Liu. Of course, we don’t mistrust you; it’s just that you’ve had a scandal with Mo Zixuan recently. When marrying Little Liu in such a rush, it’s inevitable that gossips would appear. It’s an era of advanced medical science, having a prenatal paternity test would be beneficial for both you and Little Liu.”
“Madam, I trust Shishi,” said Little Liu, somewhat anxiously and uneasily.
Tong Shishi’s face paled even more. Her eyes welled up with a layer of redness. Looking at Wen Ran’s elegant eyebrows and eyes, resentment quietly grew in her heart. But she didn’t dare to express it on her face. “Miss Wen, I understand that you all are considering what’s best for Little Liu, and I know that I had a scandal with Mo Zixuan in the past. Since my marriage with Little Liu requires a test, I have an impudent question to ask: Miss Wen, you and Mo Zixuan had a relationship in the past and now you’re married to Mo General. Did you also verify your chastity that you were a virgin when you got married?”
As soon as these words came out, the room temperature seemed to instantly congeal into ice.
Mo Xiuchen sternly gazed at her, his handsome facial features suddenly overlaid by frost. His eyes seemed to want to lacerate Tong Shishi.
Little Liu was astonished, his mouth wide open, unable to speak.
Nanny Zhang and Housekeeper Uncle Liu were not only shocked but also worried and angry. Their faces changed a couple of times, only Wen Ran remained calm. She had already grown used to Tong Shishi’s sharp words.
She remembered that night in the restroom, Tong Shishi had also said a lot of hurtful words. Tong Shishi was as hypocritical as Cheng Jia. And unfortunately, both ended up crossing paths with Little Liu.
The only thing was, Little Liu did not like Cheng Jia, but fell for Tong Shishi.
“Young Master and Madam, please don’t summon your wrath. Shishi only lashed out because of a temporary impulse,” Little Liu, the first to react, stood up and apologized extensively to Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran. Wen Ran gazed at Tong Shishi indifferently and decided that her words were not a result of a mere impulse, but rather, her intention to make her uncomfortable.
“Little Liu, you are too naive about Miss Tong. That night, when I bumped into her in the restroom of the restaurant, she spoke in the same manner as she just did. That is the true character of Miss Tong. In front of you, she merely feigns docility.”
Wen Ran spoke evenly. Little Liu was anxious and flustered. “Miss Wen, Shishi isn’t that kind of person, you’ve misunderstood her.”
“Ai, you really are unyielding to the end, only when you’re in the coffin will your tears fall.”
Wen Ran sighed. If possible, she really didn’t want to hurt Little Liu. But obviously, Tong Shishi was not the right match for Little Liu. If they agreed to let him and Tong Shishi stay together now, the day when Little Liu gets hurt, the pain would be worse.
“Originally, I didn’t want to tell you, but since you’re adamant, I will let you listen to what she said that night.”
Tong Shishi’s face changed. She starred at Wen Ran in disbelief.
“Ranran, you have the recording of your conversation with Tong Shishi that night?”
Mo Xiuchen was also surprised, looking at Wen Ran with a hint of confusion.
“I accidentally discovered it just a couple days ago. It must have been fate since it managed to capture Miss Tong’s words. Let me clarify, I certainly didn’t intentionally record it.”
Wen Ran blinked innocently, turned her body slightly, took out her phone, and Tong Shishi’s face contorted variously. She couldn’t quite remember what she said at that time.
Wen Ran unlocked her phone, found the recording, and gently pressed play. Tong Shishi’s voice rang out, “Miss Wen, Deputy General Mo is a thousand times better than Little Liu. This dress I’m wearing, Deputy General Mo bought it for me, and the jewelry and necklace too. Where would Little Liu have the money to buy all these for me?”
Little Liu turned pale, his hurt eyes looking at Tong Shishi.
Tong Shishi’s face was even paler. Her voice continued, “Back then, didn’t Miss Wen marry Mo General because he could provide you with more money and help the Wen Family through its difficulties? Now, I am also acting for my mother’s sake. Deputy General Mo helped my mother pay for her surgery, and I’ve promised my body to him. Isn’t it the same as what Miss Wen did before?”
Nanny Zhang couldn’t bear to listen anymore. How could such a woman become a daughter-in-law? She jumped up and pointed at Tong Shishi, “Tong Shishi, get lost right now.”
Tong Shishi looked at Nanny Zhang, then at Little Liu, seeing his stiff gaze upon her, brimming with pain.
