Translator: 549690339

The last sentence Wen Ran spoke, seeped in an abrupt trace of sharp menace.

Cheng Jia’s face changed in an instant, all her pretenses crumbled due to Wen

Ran’s threatening warning, turning into her usual sharp, disdainful self. “Wen Ran,” she scoffed, “Do you actually believe Young Master MO has feelings for you? All he desires is your body. Once he tires of it, you’ll be meaningless to him. But I’m different. I can help Young Master MO take revenge on Xiao Wenqing. ”

“Don’t worry, I will not compete with you for him,” she continued, “I will wait, wait for Young Master MO to recognize my worth, wait for him to get over the little girl who saved him, and fall in love with me. Sure, I didn’t save him back then, but I saved him last time, making me his savior too.”

“But you’re different, Wen Ran,” she taunted, “You’re nothing, just a woman selling her body for gains. Young Master MO isn’t a fool. Given a choice, he’d surely pick the one who matters more to him.”

With a look of disdain, Cheng Jia stared at Wen Ran. In her eyes, she was more useful than Wen Ran. When disaster struck Wen Ran’s home, she was just a damsel in distress. Based on her situation back then, even if any man offered, she would have likely traded herself.

Such a woman was not deserving of MO Xiuchen.

Bu Cheng Jia was different. She had been quietly in love with MO Xiuchen for so many years. It wasn’t her real intention to harm him by helping Xiao Wenqing. Her real aim was to get close to MO Xiuchen and make him fall in love with her. If he shared the same feelings for her, she could tell him everything she knew.

With her help, it would be much easier for MO Xiuchen to deal with Xiao Wenqing and take his revenge for past wrongs.

Wen Ran gave a cold, dismissive smile, too weary to argue with this madwoman any further. “I wish you good luck in achieving your goals,” she said.

Leaving behind those sarcastic words, Wen Ran turned to leave.

“Wen Ran, I will definitely become Young Master Mo’s woman,”

Cheng Jia muttered bitterly, staring at Wen Ran’s vanishing silhouette. Her ferocious expression suggested a desire to tear Wen Ran to pieces.

Upon leaving the café, Wen Ran felt somewhat uneasy. Cheng Jia’s last words weren’t empty threats. She would spare no effort to achieve her goals.

Although MO Xiuchen had assured her that he wouldn’t get excessively involved with Cheng Jia, or harbor any feelings for her despite certain incidents, the road ahead was long. Seeing Cheng Jia could help MO Xiuchen, she couldn’t overlook the inexplicable frustration and concern in her heart.

Distracted, Wen Ran walked towards the parking lot, completely forgetting she was still on the phone with MO Xiuchen. It was only when she got in the car and her phone rang twice indicating a low battery that she finally snapped back to reality.

Midway through fastening her seatbelt, Wen Ran dug her phone out of her bag. Seeing the automatic shutdown black screen, she furrowed her brow. She put the phone back in her bag, refastened her seatbelt and drove off.

At MS Group, MO Xiuchen stared pensively at the disconnected call on his phone. His thin lips tightened into a grim line. He had heard everything from Cheng Jia’s conversation with Wen Ran.

That Cheng Jia was overestimating her worth. Thinking that he, MO Xiuchen, would care for her profits and choose her over his beloved. If she made his woman uncomfortable, he wouldn’t let her get off easy.

Since she wanted to be useful, he would make her so.

A flicker of cold harshness flashed in his eyes. He dialed a number, and after the phone rang a few times, Little Liu’s respectful voice came from the other end: “Hello, young master.”

“Buy something and go to Cheng Jia’s. Check on her head wound and ask when she’ll be able to return to work,” MO Xiuchen’s seemingly caring words were devoid of any emotion which took Little Liu by surprise. After a moment of hesitation, Little Liu replied with a simple “Okay.”

Half an hour later, Cheng Jia called.

Seeing the incoming call, a trace of coldness flashed in MO Xiuchen’s eyes. He leaned back in his chair, pressed the answer key, and responded indifferently with a brief greeting.

“Young Master MO, I want to thank you for sending Little Liu to check up on me with some fruit. How are you doing after what happened last night?”

Cheng Jia was coquettishly sweet on the phone, her soft voice was the kind that could allure any man.

However, MO Xiuchen, the ‘abnormal’ man, was indifferent to it. In a bland tone, he said, “The company has been really busy lately. You should recover quickly and get back to work.”

“MO Xiuchen, I’m ready to go back to work now.”

As soon as he finished, she immediately agreed. Well, she had enough energy to provoke Wen Ran and sow discord, so why couldn’t she go to work?

After her confession last night, she didn’t sleep well. But now hearing MO Xiuchen asking her to return to work, the anxiety she had been feeling finally dissolved.

“Are you sure you can work with your injury not fully healed yet?”

MO Xiuchen’s voice did not carry any particular concern, instead, it was more distant and indifferent than before. Cheng Jia felt hurt, but understood that for him to accept her again was already a significant gesture.

“Young Master MO, I really can work,” Cheng Jia hastily assured him, afraid that she would lose the opportunity to return to work. Thinking back to her words at the café, she had been blinded by jealousy. The more she thought about it, the more she felt fearful. She had seen MO Xiuchen’s concern for Wen

Ran.

If Wen Ran had influenced him in any way, he would surely be angry.

“I recall, you mentioned last night there was an issue related to the construction site, right?” Unexpectedly, MO Xiuchen changed the subject. It took Cheng Jia by surprise, and after a second or two, she came back to her senses. Her heart sped up as she summoned the courage to ask, “Young Master MO, are you free tonight? I can cook some home-made dishes for you while I explain what’s going on.”

“Tonight?”

“Yes, tonight!”

Cheng Jia’s grip on her phone tightened slightly, her eyes lighting up with anticipation. Since MO Xiuchen hadn’t immediately refused, it was a positive sign for her.

“Young Master MO, besides the construction site issue, I also have some information about the previous H City drug incident.”

“Alright then!”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jia’s heart filled with joy. “Young Master MO, I will definitely cook some of your favorite dishes.”

Cheng Jia was overjoyed. She even treated Little Liu, who she normally never spoke kindly to, with pleasantness. She dismissed him and planned to buy ingredients to cook dinner for MO Xiuchen. Little Liu was taken aback as he watched Cheng Jia, her joy evident. He had no choice but to believe her. Getting into the car with a frown of confusion, he wondered how the usually indifferent young master suddenly started caring for Cheng Jia and even agreed to have dinner at her place.

What if the young madam hears of this? Wouldn’t she be angry?

With a furrowed brow and a shake of his head, Little Liu glanced at Cheng Jia through the car window as she walked briskly towards the supermarket. He pursed his lips, undecided as to whether he should call the young madam..
