Wen Ran’s eyebrows knitted slightly, wondering what was the matter Cheng Jia wanted to discuss with her in person.
If it was about MO Xiuchen, did it have sothing to do with Xiao Wenqing?
Or was MO Xiuchen just an excuse for her to see Wen Ran?
“If it’s regarding him, why didn’t you find him?”
In front of Zhou Mingfu and Zhou Lin, Wen Ran didn’t ntion MO Xiuchen’s na, nor Cheng Jia’s na. Regardless of any covert alliance between Zhou Mingfu and Xiao Wenqing, she was unwilling to let Zhou Mingfu know about it as they were currently related by marriage.
“I was afraid he wouldn’t want to see . I couldn’t finish my words last night, and Young Master MO was very upset. Miss Wen, I want to tell you sothing, and then, I hope you could pass it on to Young Master Mo. That would be better than telling him directly.”
Cheng Jia’s words were filled with guilt and sincerity, as if she genuinely regretted her actions and was truly concerned about MO Xiuchen.
A mont later, when Wen Ran still hadn’t said anything, Cheng Jia’s voice filled with sadness ca out again, “Miss Wen, if you don’t want to see , I understand. When Young Master Mo’s in a better mood, I’ll call him. anwhile, I hope that his affairs won’t be delayed.”
“When and where?”
Wen Ran thought for a mont and asked simply.
She couldn’t refuse outright since this concerned MO Xiuchen.
After Cheng Jia inford her of the ti and location, Wen Ran agreed. As the call was ending, Zhou Lin was gently talking to soone on her phone from the couch, “My father and I are in Ranran’s office. If you have ti, could you pick us up?”
A sharp glint passed through Wen Ran’s eyes; Zhou Lin was clever, trying to use her as an excuse to have MO Zixuan pick up her and Zhou Mingfu from Wen’s office.
She couldn’t hear what MO Zixuan said on the phone, but Zhou Lin’s smile made it clear that MO Zixuan had agreed to her request.
“Dad, if you have sothing else to say to Ranran, please do it quickly. Zixuan will be here soon to pick us up.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Lin cheerfully told Zhou Mingfu, her eyes never leaving Wen Ran.
Zhou Mingfu slightly furrowed his brow. He had sothing to say to Wen Ran, but with MO Zixuan on the way due to Zhou Lin’s call, he no longer felt inclined to let Zixuan see Wen Ran.
“It’s nothing much. Since Zixuan is coming to get us, we should go downstairs and wait. We cannot inconvenience him by making him co all the way up here.”
As Zhou Mingfu stood up, Wen Ran, who was still sitting behind the desk, simply said, “I still have so work to do, so I won’t see Uncle Zhou off. Ah Lin, take good care of Uncle Zhou. Be careful not to let him fall.”
Zhou Lin nodded with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of my dad. Ranran, we won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll take my dad downstairs to wait for
Zixuan.”
She had indeed ntioned over the phone that she and her father were in Wen Ran’s office to discuss so matters. Knowing MO Zixuan’s intentions, she was certain he would seize this opportunity to see Wen Ran and pick her and her father up.
MO Zixuan, overhearing Wen Ran’s voice while on the phone, was eagerly anticipating the chance to see her even if it ant Zhou Lin would not wait for him at the Wen’s office, so as not to miss such an opportunity. It seed like he was no longer able to persist in shalessly clinging to Wen Ran.
He could only hope for accidental encounters, or opportunities like this to see her.
After Zhou Lin and Zhou Mingfu left the office, Wen Ran dialed MO Xiuchen’s number.
MO Xiuchen must have been busy; the phone rang for a while without any response. Just as Wen Ran was about to abandon this call attempt, the call was answered, and MO Xiuchen’s deep, magnetic voice echoed in her ears, “Ranran, I’m in a eting right now, I’ll call you back later.”
Wen Ran didn’t hear any sound from MO Xiuchen’s side of the line, but his tone suggested that the eting might not be going well.
Swallowing the words she was about to say, Wen Ran replied softly, “Okay!” By then, MO Xiuchen had already hung up.
When MO Xiuchen’s call ca back, Wen Ran was already on her way to see
Cheng Jia. She had arranged for the driver to take Li Qian to the airport and for Qin Mu to et with the supplier. She had arranged to et Cheng Jia in a café and was driving over there by herself.
“Have you finished your eting?”
Wen Ran’s gentle voice echoed inside the car. As she left, she saw Zhou Lin and Zhou Mingfu waiting in the café across the street. MO Zixuan had not arrived yet.
“Yes, just finished. Has MO Zixuan gone to your pharmaceutical factory?”
MO Xiuchen’s magnetic voice was soothing to hear. He sounded much less restrained than earlier on the phone, suggesting that he had resolved whatever issues were bothering him previously.
Wen Ran asked in surprise, “How did you know he was coming to the pharmaceutical factory? But, when I left, he had not yet arrived. Zhou Lin was the one who called and asked him to co pick up her and her father from the factory.”
“I knew Zhou Lin was the one who called him. His leaving before the eting was over was unusual. Besides, the dicine incident was orchestrated by Zhou Mingfu, so he would certainly go to the factory to ask you about the outco.”
A hint of chilliness seeped into MO Xiuchen’s calm tone, which might not seem to have much to do with Wen Ran’s question, or be detailed enough, but Wen Ran understood perfectly, even admiring his sharp analysis and keen perception.
From MO Zixuan’s haste and willingness, he inferred that MO Zixuan’s visit was not simply to pick up Zhou Lin. The person who could make MO Zixuan rush to see was undoubtedly Wen Ran.
In fact, MO Zixuan had disregarded his order to leave prematurely, even neglecting the senior managent and directors in the process, which was also why MO Xiuchen was upset.
However, Zhou Lin’s phone call had unintentionally helped him. With MO Zixuan leaving without any reason, he could use it as an excuse to suppress those who were trying to protect him.
MO Xiuchen’s critical role as the company’s leadership was not sothing ordinary people could handle.
“Yes, Zhou Lin and Zhou Mingfu did co to the pharmaceutical factory. He doesn’t yet know that the people concerned will be coming to G City this afternoon to persuade to buy the dicine.”
There was a red light up ahead, so Wen Ran stopped the car and glanced at the car’s display screen.
MO Xiuchen made a sound of acknowledgent, not asking about the outco. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, “Ranran, are you out right now?”
He had heard the sound of car horns and rembered Wen Ran’s earlier remark that MO Zixuan had not arrived yet. Knowing that she was calling him about this matter, he naturally asked the truth. Wen Ran answered, “Yes, I had a call with Cheng Jia before calling you. She wants to et and talk about sothing.”
Being as astute as MO Xiuchen, he imdiately understood why she had called him earlier. His tone deepened, “Cheng Jia wants to see you? Did she ntion what it was about?”
Even though Cheng Jia had revealed her identity the night before, MO Xiuchen still didn’t completely trust her. More importantly, he didn’t want Wen Ran to et her alone..
