“Ranran, you don’t need to trouble yourself or MO Xiuchen, I’ve already had my house servants prepare soup, it’ll be delivered shortly.”
Xiao Wenqing couldn’t stand Wen Ran’s words anymore and interrupted them.
Wen Ran looked up, giving Xiao Wenqing a slight smile. It seemed as if all past grievances had been swept away with the wind. Facing her now, there were no resentments. Her voice was still mild and calm, “We are all family here, there’s no trouble. I noticed Ah Lin seems to be emotionally unstable right now, by the way, why isn’t MO Zixuan here with her?”
Her seemingly innocent words caused Xiao Wenqing’s expression to stiffen.
The idea to abort the child in Zhou Lin’s womb was her son’s. Now that things didn’t work out, he must be furious. How could he come to accompany her?
Xiao Wenqing awkwardly pulled the corner of her mouth, struggling to say, “Zixuan might be angry for a while, thinking that Zhou Lin, who is about to become a mother, cannot even protect the child in her womb. Thankfully, the child is safe. If anything had happened, he might have…”
Xiao Wenqing didn’t finish what she was saying, but everyone present understood.
Zhou Lin’s face grew even paler, almost matching the snow-white wall color.
Her eyes had reddened just a moment ago and were now faintly gleaming with tears.
Wen Ran puckered her brow, her voice seeping with a cold undertone, “Isn’t the child fine now? As the father, how could MO Zixuan just turn a blind eye? If this gets out, the media will definitely sensationalize it. By then, not only will MO Zixuan be slandered as an irresponsible man, but it would also affect MS
Group.”
A flicker of irritation flashed through Xiao Wenqing’s eyes, making her face incredibly dark.
Wen Ran apparently didn’t notice her changing expression. She turned her head to look at MO Xiuchen standing a few steps away and softly said, “MO Xiuchen, you are not only the president of the MS Group, but with father not home these days, the matters of the MO family are also entrusted to you. This issue can be big or small, I think, before the media run wild, we should clear things up.”
The implication in her words was clear – getting MO Xiuchen involved in this matter was only right and just.
Now, with MO Xiuchen having taken over the company not long ago, already a scandal was brewing around MO Zixuan’s woman. The media would definitely make a meal out of it.
It could also be written as if someone wanted to get rid of MO Zixuan, starting by cutting off his legacy.
A flicker of panic appeared in Xiao Wenqing’s eyes, but it was fleeting, and she recovered her composure quickly.
Only a suppressed anger flickered deep within her eyes.
MO Xiuchen came a few steps forward, ignoring both Xiao Wenqing and Zhou Lin in the hospital bed and looked at Wen Ran with gentle eyes. Gently speaking, he assured her, “You don’t need to worry about this, Ah Kai has said this is not an issue with the water, but due to the placement of musk scent under her stool. It’s a tad more sophisticated than the shark fin soup incident before, but as long as there are clues, we will figure it out.”
“MO Xiuchen, the incident with Ranran before was your father’s arrangement, how could you compare it to Zhou Lin’s predicament today?”
Anxiety gripped Xiao Wenqing as she retorted. If MO Xiuchen said that, wasn’t it the equivalent of accusing her of harming Zhou Lin?
Of course, she wouldn’t admit it.
MO Xiuchen’s cold gaze swept over her. Again, he spoke, and his icy voice contrasted starkly with the gentleness he had shown Wen Ran earlier, “Even though the previous incident was my father’s order, can you swear that you didn’t take the initiative to add something? I’m only drawing a parallel here, why are you panicking? Could it be that you are really responsible for this incident, too?”
As always, MO Xiuchen never put up a friendly face in front of Xiao Wenqing. He didn’t want to deal with her in the first place, but since she insisted on bringing this topic up, it ignited the anger in his heart.
“How could it be me? The child Zhou Lin carries is my precious grandson. No one else could possibly be responsible, especially not me!”
Xiao Wenqing spoke so righteously and assuredly, as if she was truly innocent.
MO Xiuchen gave a cold laugh, “So is that ‘no one else’ inclusive of MO Zixuan? Or is it that the pressure you put him under to marry Zhou Lin grew so unbearable, that he just wanted to rid himself of it all…”
“MO Xiuchen, don’t slander others! Ah Lin, don’t believe his words. Even if
Zixuan doesn’t like you, he would never ever harm his own child!”
Xiao Wenqing, both anxious and upset, felt both MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran were deliberate in sowing discord.
Zhou Lin had initially cast doubts on Xiao Wenqing, hence she had called Wen Ran for help. But after getting scolded by Xiao Wenqing, her doubts disappeared.
Now, MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran had planted the seed of suspicion again in her mind. Staring at the anxious Xiao Wenqing, Zhou Lin weakly said, “Aunt Xiao, Zixuan indeed doesn’t like the child in my womb.”
On hearing this, Xiao Wenqing glared hatefully at MO Xiuchen and retorted,
“You’ve achieved your goal of sowing discord, now you can leave.”
Wen Ran spoke up indignantly, “Aunt Xiao, how could you speak to MO Xiuchen like this? He’s only trying to help find out who is trying to harm Zhou Lin’s child. Pushing us to leave now, could it be that you don’t want this matter to be resolved?”
‘You…”
All of Xiao Wenqing’s pretensions crumbled under her resentment and irritation towards MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran. She absolutely hated them both. If it weren’t for Wen Ran’s interference today, Zhou Lin’s child would have been lost.
Wen Ran gave a light sigh, no longer looking at Xiao Wenqing who was now pale with anger. Turning to Zhou Lin, she said, “Rest well. MO Xiuchen will definitely find out the origin of the musk scent. Regardless of who is trying to harm your child, as a mother, you must do everything you can to protect it.”
Zhou Lin gratefully glanced at MO Xiuchen and nodded firmly at Wen Ran, “Ranran, thank you for today. If it weren’t for you, my baby would’ve been…”
She sniffled hard, suppressing her sorrow and said, “Don’t worry, even if it takes my life, I’ll protect this child. Because, she (he) is the only family I have left in this world now.”
Her father had passed away.
Walking down the long corridor, they took the elevator to the ground floor. During this period, MO Xiuchen was lost in his thoughts, seemingly pondering over something.
If it had been a normal day, he would have asked her if she wanted to go to Gu Kai’s office. Given Zhou Lin’s predicament, Gu Kai was also a participant, he knew as much as they did.
They stepped out of the hospital entrance before he spoke. Wen Ran slightly furrowed her brows and softly asked “Xiuchen, what are you thinking about?”
MO Xiuchen was taken aback. He lowered his gaze to look at the woman in front of him. An emotion briefly appeared in the depths of his eyes, then disappeared quickly.. He pressed his lips together and casually said, “Nothing, by the way, do you want to drop by Ah Kai’s office? He has more clues about this than us!”
