Everyone in the elevator remained silent.

Not until a ‘ding’ sound signaled the elevator door opening did Luo Haofeng take out a folded newspaper from his pocket and kindly tossed it to Mo Zixuan, “Just being a good person, have a look yourself!”

As soon as he exited, the following crowd quickly dispersed.

In the elevator, only Mo Zixuan was left. He was tightly clenching the newspaper, his eyes concentrating on the boldface headlines and on the few blurry yet recognizable pictures.

Everyone at MS Group knew about Mo Zixuan’s amorous escapades, which normally wouldn’t be considered a scandal. However, it’s unfortunate that the woman Mo Zixuan sought out was a woman who had been involved with many men.

Not only was it discussed within the company, it also became a trending topic online. Even with its blurry image, the woman was identified.

Tong Shishi was soon doxxed online, and her past was laid bare for all to see.

Several executives from different companies who had relationships with her were also implicated. For a time, she became famous throughout G City.

Mo Zixuan became the laughing stock of the company. There were whispers and finger-pointing wherever he went. By the afternoon, he dared not leave his office.

Mo Jingteng was so infuriated that he was on the verge of fainting.

Many shareholders called him to complain that Mo Zixuan’s actions were damaging the company’s image.

Fortunately, Mo Xiuchen held a press conference to declare that Mo Zixuan’s behavior only represented himself and had nothing to do with the company.

“Even though we share the same father but different mothers, remembering that he is a part of the Mo family I can’t be heartless enough to expel him from the company straight away. Especially when he has been greatly affected by his mother, Xiao Wenqing running away with another man. His actions only represent himself.”

On the podium, Mo Xiuchen was elegantly dressed, showing an air of nobility and regal authority through his every movement.

Seated beside him was the woman of his heart. Her beautiful face bore a gentle smile as she lovingly observed him while he spoke.

The sweet intimacy between them seemed to present an image of their company to all the journalists below.

In the presence of such a president and his wife, Mo Zixuan’s exploits seemed insignificant.

“President Mo, you just said that Deputy General Mo’s mother, Xiao Wenqing, has run away with another man. What do you mean by that?”

Someone sharply caught the key point in his speech and raised his hand to ask.

“Yes, President Mo, Deputy General Mo’s mother, who did she elope with?”

The reporters below the stage abruptly lost interest in Mo Zixuan and became more interested in who Xiao Wenqing had eloped with.

A hint of coldness flashed in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes, and his demeanor cooled. A reminder for Mo Jingteng who was unwilling to let Mo Zixuan leave the company.

Mo Jingteng had been hiding the affair of Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi running away together. Till now, no one outside knew about it.

“Xiao Wenqing running away? Did I say that?”

Mo Xiuchen gave a indifferent glance over the crowd beneath the stage and turned to look at the Wen Ran beside him.

The reporters were looking at each other uneasily.

Did they misunderstand? Would President Mo forget what he said just a second ago?

They didn’t believe that at all.

Meeting Mo Xiuchen’s puzzled gaze, Wen Ran gave a slight smile and timely spoke up, “You all can ask Deputy General Mo himself about this matter, or perhaps, ask the chairman as well. After all, they are the closest people to Xiao Wenqing and would certainly know her situation more clearly than anyone else.”

“Ah, Ranran is right.”

Mo Xiuchen responded with a smile, though there was no humor in his eyes.

The smile on Wen Ran’s lips deepened as she added, “With President Mo dedicating all his energy to the company’s development, stray words spoken without thinking can be dismissed.”

“Yes, Mo Zixuan’s matter has been explained. If there are no other questions, this press conference will be concluded. Thanks everyone!”

Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran played off each other so well.

The reporters below the stage were left dazzled and astonished. By the time they collected their thoughts, Mo Xiuchen had already left the stage, hand in hand with Wen Ran. Only the host was left alone on the stage.

“Xiuchen, your performance with Ranran just now was spectacular.”

As soon as Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran returned to the office, Luo Haofeng stood up excitedly from the couch.

Qin Mu, sitting on one side, did not move. His dark eyes swept over Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran, then turned to the liquid crystal screen.

They were not performing, but demonstrating an understanding, an understanding where one look was enough to discern each other’s thoughts.

More to the point, the two of them weren’t there to extinguish whispers of scandal but to stir them up instead.

He wondered if Mo Jingteng, upon seeing this press conference, would be infuriated to the point of hospitalization.

The scandal he had tried so hard to hide was nonchalantly revealed by his own son.

A faint smile curled up at the corners of Mo Xiuchen’s lips as he lowered his gaze to look into Wen Ran’s clear eyes, “Ranran, your response just now was perfect.”

Wen Ran chuckled gently, “It’s because your acting was too convincing. Those confused eyes of yours made it hard to believe that you are the all-powerful Mo Xiuchen of the business world.”

“Hey, stop patting each other’s backs. I reckon, your old man is already on the way to the hospital. Do you want to call to confirm it, or rush to the hospital directly?”

Qin Mu smiled calmly, “Are you thanking your dad for making Mo Zixuan come back to work? This ‘thank you’ might actually kill him.”

“Don’t worry, he won’t die.”

Mo Xiuchen coldly huffed, unconcerned. Mo Jingteng did not die when Xiao Wenqing betrayed and ran away from him. It had been so long since those events, so even if the scandal broke out, he wouldn’t die.

Luo Haofeng blinked and said, “Even if he doesn’t die, he will be half-dead from anger. Now, he won’t ever let Mo Zixuan leave the company.”

“Let him stay then. It’s fun having him around when you’re bored.”

Qin Mu’s carefree reply carried an undercurrent of chilling determination.

If Mo Zixuan had just rejoined the company to vie with Mo Xiuchen, he wouldn’t be that angry. The problem was, Mo Zixuan had invited trouble for himself by provoking people he should not have provoked.

Not to mention Mo Xiuchen, even Qin Mu had no plans to let Mo Zixuan off the hook.

“Ah Mu, you’re just as scary when you’re serious, just like Mo Xiuchen. Forget it, I won’t poke my nose into Mo Zixuan’s affairs. You are free these couple of days anyway, you go enjoy yourself!”

Luo Haofeng’s eyes flashed with confusion. The menacing glance Ah Mu had given, wasn’t his imagination, it was real. But why did it seem as if he was angrier than Mo Xiuchen?

Qin Mu took a glance at him, “I plan to go back for a few days. My mother has arranged a few blind dates for me.”

“What?”

Luo Haofeng’s voice rose sharply.
