Chapter 129 - 129: One day, you will understand.
Gu Kai’s words weren’t meant to incite fear, but rather to analyze the truth. Sometimes, people find themselves cornered, fully aware that certain individuals seek to harm them, but without any evidence, they’re powerless to retaliate.
“Therefore, I need to gather evidence as soon as possible.”
“This isn’t something you can do alone.”
Gu Kai’s brows frowned, his tone suddenly serious. Taken aback, Wen Ran eventually shook her head, “I’ll inform my brother and MO Xiuchen.”
She felt that Gu Kai’s analysis was on point.
Gu Kai curved his lips into a smile and said, “Mmm, you shouldn’t bear all of these burdens alone. Tell them as soon as possible. Although Xiuchen doesn’t reside at Mo’s mansion anymore, it’s understandably easier for him to gather evidence against Xiao Wenqing than you.”
His words were veiled, it wasn’t his place to spell out everything about MO Xiuchen to Wen Ran, just like when Wen Ran asked him to keep a secret, he didn’t intentionally disclose it to MO Xiuchen either.
Finishing the rest of her milk, Wen Ran stood up, thanked Gu Kai, and left.
Wen Ran took the elevator upstairs to see Wen Jin.
As she stepped out of the elevator, the doors of the adjacent elevator opened, revealing MO Zixuan. Seeing her, he joyfully exclaimed, “Ranran!”
Wen Ran turned towards him, her gaze briefly flickering over the fruit basket in his hand, then meeting his smiling eyes. Thinking of his mother’s malicious cruelty, a spark of coldness flashed deep within her eyes. She pursed her lips and turned to leave.
“Ranran, are you here to see your brother? I’m here to visit him too. We can go together.”
MO Zixuan, basket in hand, quickly caught up with Wen Ran and began walking alongside her.
“My brother wouldn’t appreciate your visit. You should go back.”
Wen Ran’s tone was indifferent, intending to avoid further conversation with him.
MO Zlxuan’s eyes dimmed before quickly returning to a smile, “Ranran, thank you for your concern, but it was him who asked me to meet him at the hospital.”
Wen Ran turned to look at him, her eyes narrowing with skepticism. Staring back at his smiling eyes, a wave of frustration surged within her, “What did you tell my brother this time, MO Zixuan? No matter what you say or do, it’s meaningless.”
Pain flickered through MO Zixuan’s eyes, his handsome face turned pale, “Ranran, I understand that you’re now MO Xiuchen’s wife and will never return to me. I won’t pressure you, but one day you’ll realize that the one who treats you best in this world is me, not MO Xiuchen.”
“The best thing you can do for me is to stay away.”
Wen Ran’s harsh words caused MO Zixuan’s face to turn even paler, his eyes filled with pain as he looked at her, “Ranran, just because I made one mistake, you can’t condemn me to death. Moreover, I was set up by MO Xiuchen that night. ”
“MO Zixuan, do you have evidence?”
A derisive smile played at the corners of Wen Ran’s mouth. He kept proclaiming that MO Xiuchen had set him up, but where was the evidence?
“Other than him, no one else would have done it. He has always despised my mother and me, regardless of how well my mother treated him, he always assumed that she was the one who caused ****** death.”
MO Zixuan, in a fit of irritation, blurted out his family secrets.
The mention of Xiao Wenqing made Wen Ran’s eyes glaze over with a cold hatred, her voice cold and clear, “Not just him, I despise your mother as well!”
“Ranran, my mother is a bit materialistic. That morning, her behavior towards you was inappropriate, and I want to apologize to you on her behalf.”
MO Zixuan assumed Wen Ran was referring to the morning he and Zhou Lin woke up in the hotel, when his mother had said some insulting words.
Wen Ran sneered coldly. Her icy gaze lingered on MO Zixuan’s face. To make him give up completely, she decided to tell him about his mother’s deeds.
“Apologies, MO Zixuan. If you knew what your mother did to me, would you think that a simple apology would make up for it?”
MO Zixuan’s eyes widened in surprize, unmistakably sensing deep hatred in
Wen Ran’s tone.
His heart suddeny panicked, “Ranran, what did my mother do to you?”
Wen Ran pursed her lips and said coldly, “The day before yesterday, she invited me to Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion for a meal. She ended up adding musk and other drugs to the shark fin soup. If I had drunk it, I would have lost my chance to be a mother forever.”
No girl can endure such harm.
Wen Ran was no exception. Xiao Wenqing didn’t just intend to prevent her from conceiving a child with MO Xiuchen after that night, she wanted to render her infertile permanently.
MO Zixuan stepped back in shock, his face deathly pale!
He couldn’t believe that his mother would harm Wen Ran. She wanted him to defeat MO Xiuchen and bring back Wen Ran, but how could she harm her like this?
“Ranran…”
He struggled to utter her name, his voice hoarse. He wanted to ask if there was some misunderstanding, but Wen Ran didn’t give him a chance to, her words ice-cold, “That day, I originally didn’t want to accept her invitation but she insisted on waiting until I arrived. MO Zixuan, do you still think an apology would suffice?”
“1…”
MO Zixuan looked at Wen Ran, his face filled with sorrow. This was too great a mistake for a simple apology to erase.
“If you really care about me, forget about me. The more you persist, the more your mother will despise me.”
After saying her piece, Wen Ran left without looking back.
MO Zixuan’s large frame stiffened in the dimly lit corridor, his face as white as a sheet. Watching Wen Ran’s receding slender figure, he muttered, “Ranran, I’m sorry!”
His voice was filled with deep pain and guilt. His lips tightly pressed, a determined voice in his head suggested, even if he could never have her, he couldn’t let anyone harm her.
A few steps away, Wen Ran stiffened briefly without turning back, and continued on her way to Wen Jin’s ward.
Feeling guilty, Xiao Wenqing didn’t call Wen Ran to invite her and MO Xiuchen over for a meal over the weekend.
The project was progressing rapidly, leaving MO Xiuchen with no time to rest over the weekend. He spent all day directing the site. Some areas of the blueprint were modified at the last moment, leading to overtime work. By the time he returned home, it was already late into the night.
Entering the living room to find Wen Ran dozing on the leather couch, a pang of sympathy arose in MO Xiuchen. He headed over to her with decisive steps.
As soon as his hand brushed her cheek, she woke up, a smile gracing her face, “You’re back. I asked Nanny Zhang to leave some dinner for you. I’ll take it out of the kitchen. You must be starving after working so late.”
“Alright!”
MO Xiuchen’s eyes flickered with approval. He smiled in acknowledgment. Watching her dash into the kitchen, he made his way to the washroom to clean up.
Wen Ran brought the meal to the table, and with a considerate gesture, pulled out his chair, cheerfully inviting him, “Mr. MO, please!”
MO Xiuchen gazed at her smiling eyes, his own deepening. He sat down in the chair she pulled out, teasing, “Such unwarranted hospitality…. Have you poisoned this rib soup?”
