Chapter 637: 636 will not give him a chance
On the other end of the phone, Mo Jingteng’s good mood couldn’t be maintained any longer. His tone became old and desolate, and as he listened to such a low stance, Mo Xiuchen’s face darkened.
“Alright, stop talking, Ranran and I will call you back when we have time,”
Mo Xiuchen interrupted Mo Jingteng, his tone cold.
In the end, he couldn’t completely ignore him. Despite once hating him, even considering revenge, making him regret, causing him so much pain, he could repent…
But he wasn’t cold and ruthless enough in the end.
“Alright”
Mo Jingteng’s voice regained a hint of joy. He wondered if he really missed them or if it was all just an act, but in any case, there was a hint of an elderly man missing his son.
“Did the old man ask you and Ranran to come home or just invite you to dinner?”
Gu Kai looked at Mo Xiuchen calmly. Even though he couldn’t hear what Mo Jingteng had said, he could guess from his response.
Mo Xiuchen put his phone away, humming indifferently.
Gu Kai raised an eyebrow and said with a laugh: “Your father is really strange. While you and Ranran were abroad, he stayed in the hospital and let Mo Zixuan flip MS Group upside down. Yet, he never asked.”
Mo Xiuchen smirked, “He’s never the type to not ask.”
Even though he wasn’t in the country, he knew a bit about the situation in G City. Initially, Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu stayed in G City, and he knew that Mo Jingteng wanted either of them to take over as CEO.
Even though he hated Mo Jingteng, there was one thing Mo Xiuchen believed in. That was that Mo Jingteng cared deeply about the empire he had built his entire life. He cared more about whose hands his company could prosper under and under whose hands it would collapse.
Gu Kai squinted, chuckled and said, “Yeah, I did think he was indifferent at first. It turns out, after Mo Zixuan visited him, they talked about something that night and he was discharged.”
A hint of darkness flashed deep in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes. “Doesn’t your hospital have surveillance in all the rooms? How do you not know what they talked about?”
Gu Kai shook his head, a mysterious smile on his lips. “The surveillance in your father’s room was broken. It broke on the night Mo Zixuan visited him. Strange, isn’t it?”
“It’s indeed strange. The surveillance breaking at that moment, it seems like his invitation for Ranran and I to dinner isn’t just for dinner, and the truth is, it’s not because he misses me. I wonder since when he decided to become a performer.”
By the end, there was a bit of coldness gathered in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes.
He understood Mo Jingteng. He was able to develop the MS Group into the leading enterprise in G City, with investments in various sectors, and of course, it wasn’t by luck.
Perhaps since he left MS Group, he has gotten people to investigate him. After he left the company, Haochen began to act, and with Mo Jingteng’s shrewdness, it was natural for him to guess that Haochen was related to him.
His indifference was not only a punishment for Mo Zixuan’s previous actions but also a demonstration of his sincerity towards him.
In the end, Mo Jingteng was dispirited regarding his own company. He couldn’t manage the company himself, and it would be good enough if he could prevent the company from changing its name.
Clearly, Mo Zixuan couldn’t hold on to his company, and the only one he could rely on was him.
Mo Xiuchen saw through this early on. What he didn’t expect was for Mo Jingteng to go so far as to use any means necessary for his company.
He had a private conversation with Mo Zixuan and had to break the hospital’s surveillance. It must be something that they didn’t want others to know, at least, they didn’t want Gu Kai to know.
“Xiuchen, even though Haochen is yours, your father wouldn’t want Haochen to take over MS Group. He’d rather MS Group acquires Haochen. And with you so decisive in leaving his company, he must think it’s because of Ranran,”
The chill in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes deepened.
Ranran was his bottom line, untouchable by anyone.
Mo Jingteng included.
Last year, when he had Xiao Wenqing drug Ranran, he had warned him, and their relationship had broken down to an extreme point. Now, was he trying to use the same old trick again?
“I won’t give him a chance to hurt a hair on Ranran’s head.” Mo Xiuchen’s voice was low but filled with unequivocal determination. If Mo Jingteng truly targeted Ranran, he would make sure his lifelong efforts would be in vain.
Gu Kai smiled gently, “This is just my guess. Perhaps he’s not dumb enough to do so. Knowing that Ranran is your untouchable bottom line, he shouldn’t cross it. Let’s go, we’ll do your check-up first, we’ll talk about everything else later.”
After he finished speaking, Gu Kai headed towards the door.

“Ranran, you are still in the process of recuperation. Why would you really go to work?”
In Shen Yuting’s office, Wen Ran and she sat on a couch. As she looked at Wen Ran, who seemed cheerful, she couldn’t describe the feeling inside her.
Wen Ran lightly said, “Sister Ting, I’m not finding work tiring. In fact, it feels like a form of exercise.”
“I think you should be enjoying your leisure time since Xiuchen is not working. Why did you run to work like a fool? I took it as a joke the other day.”
Shen Yuting’s words seemed to have a hidden meaning. Wen Ran wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but she certainly felt it.
“Xiuchen is going to work too.”
Wen Ran’s face showed a gentle smile, but she felt a slight confusion inside.
Shen Yuting looked surprised, “Xiuchen is going back to work? Wasn’t he supposed to take some time off? Is he going back to MS Group?”
“No, he’s going to a company in City C.”
“He’s going to City C, Ranran, aren’t you going with him?”
Shen Yuting was even more shocked, Wen Ran returned to work at Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory, but Mo Xiuchen was going to work in City C. She remembered that it was Mo Xiuchen who agreed to let Wen Ran return to work.
Could it be that Mo Xiuchen let Wen Ran go to work to allow himself to leave?
Wen Ran hung her head low as if pondering the question while Shen Yuting watched her closely.
For a moment, the office was quiet.
After a while, Wen Ran looked up at Shen Yuting, smiled lightly and said, “City C isn’t far from G City. Xiuchen can come back whenever he misses me, and I can visit him on weekends.”
“Ranran, this isn’t good.”
Shen Yuting blurted out. Seeing Wen Ran looking at her in surprise, she laughed off awkwardly and said: “What I meant was, Xiuchen is such a handsome and outstanding man. Do you really trust him to go to City C alone? Aren’t you afraid of the women there seducing him?”
Wen Ran chuckled, her tone teasing: “If he could be lured away, he won’t be Xiuchen.”
“But husbands and wives living separately isn’t a good thing, Ranran. If the pharmaceutical factory is busy, your brother can hire another person. You don’t need to be separated from Xiuchen.”
