F{h*F 5#-LjOriginally, he wanted to co to pick you up personally.
Wen Ran looked at Qin Mu in surprise, noticing Luo Haofeng walking into the corridor with Qi iling. It was only then that Qin Mu let go of Wen Ran’s hand and explained gently,
“That Qi iling is a practiced martial artist, Despite her seemingly gentle and frail appearance, she has a strong grip. Years ago, she injured the hand of a girl who liked Haofeng.”
“She is that formidable?”
Wen Ran couldn’t believe it and widened her eyes. It appeared that she herself was rather unobservant, not having realized Qi iling knew martial arts.
“Just now she mistook you for Xiaoxiao. If you had shaken hands with her, she surely would have been ruthless. According to Haofeng, Qi iling has been learning karate since she was young, but because she looks frail, people think she’s genuinely gentle and kind.”
Qin Mu explained calmly, realizing that Qi iling had always been fond of Luo Haofeng. Now that she had returned…
...
Wen Ran shrugged and said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. Xiaoxiao and I are returning to G City tomorrow, so I won’t encounter Qi iling again. Let’s go upstairs as well.”
When Qin Mu got ho, he was about to take a shower, but then Mo Xiuchen’s phone call ca through.
He furrowed his brows slightly and abandoned the thought of showering, sitting down to answer the call.
“Mo Xiuchen, why are you calling so late? Is sothing wrong?”
“I have learned the truth,” Mo Xiuchen’s voice ca through the phone, its somber tone making one’s heart tighten. Qin Mu’s expression subtly changed, his lips pursed, and he didn’t make a sound.
“Ah Mu, don’t worry, I’m not trying to trap you with my words. Listen to this recording.” Mo Xiuchen said, and then Cheng Jia’s voice could be heard. Qin Mu’s face changed dramatically and his grip on the phone tightened abruptly.
Mo Xiuchen didn’t speak again but let the recording play through.
After listening to the recording, Qin Mu’s thoughts beca complicated.
It took him a while to suppress the tumultuous emotions in his heart before saying calmly, “Mo Xiuchen, now that you know the reason, stop pushing Ranran too hard.”
“Impossible.”
Mo Xiuchen’s tone was firm and domineering.
“Ah Mu, I won’t give up on Ranran. She is my wife, and I didn’t agree to the divorce.”
“But you have forgotten about Ranran, haven’t you?”
Qin Mu questioned sowhat angrily. He knew Wen Ran’s temperant to a certain extent. She had made a vow—how could she be with Mo Xiuchen again? He had heard her say in person that it was impossible for her and Mo Xiuchen to be together again.
“Ah Mu, I’m telling you this not because I want you to stop from doing anything. I’m just letting you know that I need to change so plans. I agree to your previous proposal,” Mo Xiuchen said.
“What proposal?”
“To expose Mo Jingteng and let him spend his twilight years in prison.” Mo Xiuchen’s voice was ice-cold and incisive, word by word.
Qin Mu was startled. He had suggested it before, but Mo Xiuchen had previously refused, saying that Mo Jingteng was, after all, his father. Back then, he didn’t know the truth, but now, he did.
With new and old hatred for Mo Jingteng accumulating, he truly wanted to repay him with the cruelest revenge, to soothe the hatred in his heart.
“Alright,” Qin Mu pondered for a mont then let out a word.
“However, it will have to wait a bit, until the plans ahead are complete.”
Mo Xiuchen’s decisiveness and ruthlessness were not an exaggeration but a well-known fact in the business world. Qin Mu knew that this ti, Mo Xiuchen wouldn’t let Mo Jingteng off like he had in the past.
All this he was not worried about. What worried him was that if Mo Xiuchen refused to let go and Ranran refused to break her vow, what would beco of the two of them in the future.
“Alright, we’ll fully cooperate with your plan, but in all these plans, leave Ranran out of it.” Qin Mu insisted. He didn’t want to see Wen Ran upset, nor did he want Mo Xiuchen to push Wen Ran too hard, which might backfire.
“I won’t hurt Ranran.”
Mo Xiuchen said that just before he hung up the phone.
It was unclear whether he said it to Qin Mu or to himself.
Just now, Mo Zixuan had told him many things, including why they were half-brothers, the grudges between them, how he had stolen the girl he liked, and finally, for Wen Ran…
In a mont of folly, he had done sothing to hurt Ranran, nearly killing her, which ultimately led to Mo Xiuchen’s mory loss and today’s situation.
After Mo Zixuan had revealed everything, he found himself feeling surprisingly relieved.
**
Qin Mu had to go on a last-minute business trip, so he couldn’t return to G City with Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao; it was just the two won going back.
When Wen Ran saw Qing Feng and Qing Yang standing outside the security check, a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes, thinking that it must have been Qin Mu who called them to pick her up.
However, when she and Bai Xiaoxiao got into the car and Qing Yang started the engine, Qing Feng turned his head with a grin, “Miss Wen, when Young Master Mo instructed us this morning to pick you up at the airport, I couldn’t believe you were really coming back.”
Wen Ran was startled and looked at Qing Feng in amazent, “You’re saying it was Mo Xiuchen who asked you to pick up?”
“Ranran, did you tell Mo Xiuchen that you were coming back?” Bai Xiaoxiao at her side looked at Wen Ran with an ambiguous expression, but after speaking, she felt sothing was off—Wen Ran hadn’t answered any of Mo Xiuchen’s calls yesterday.
Wen Ran shook her head, “I didn’t.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she thought of sothing else and asked, “Did Mo Xiuchen get in touch with you?”Qing Feng smiled and nodded, “President Mo only got in touch with us last night. He didn’t know our numbers before, and Chairman Mo had warned us not to disturb the Young Master. According to him, last night Mo Zixuan gave him Little Liu’s number and told him many things.”
“Mo Zixuan?”
Wen Ran slightly furrowed her brows, a hint of confusion surfacing in her eyes.
Why would Mo Zixuan tell Mo Xiuchen, and what exactly did he say? Was he genuinely trying to help Mo Xiuchen clear his doubts, or did he have so other motive?
Seeing her confusion, Qing Feng explained, “Miss Wen, you don’t need to worry. According to the Young Master, he and Zixuan reached an agreent. Actually, the Young Master wanted to co pick you up himself.”
As he said this, Qing Feng’s expression dimd slightly, and his voice paused.
Wen Ran’s heart skipped a beat, and she unconsciously clenched her hands.
Qing Feng hesitated for a mont, noticing the change in Wen Ran’s expression, his tone also slightly hesitant, “Miss Wen, the Young Master feared you wouldn’t want to see him, so he didn’t co.”
“Miss Wen, are we going straight ho, or should we drop Miss Bai off first?”
Qing Yang, observing the subtle change in Wen Ran’s expression from the rearview mirror, interjected.
“Let’s drop Xiaoxiao off first,” Wen Ran suppressed the emotions stirring in her heart and spoke calmly. Bai Xiaoxiao cheerfully agreed with an “okay”.
Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang—it was a call from Mo Xiuchen. Wen Ran gazed at the phone screen for a few seconds before her delicate fingers pressed the answer button, speaking with a calmness as smooth as water, “Hello!”
“Ranran, have Qing Feng and Qing Yang picked you up yet?”
On the phone, Mo Xiuchen’s voice sounded gentle, which indicated he might be in a good mood; his tone was deep and magnetic, quite pleasant to the ear.
