Chapter 447: Where have Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran gone in Chapter 446?
“Does Ranran know about the situation in G City yet?”
Hearing Mo Xiuchen say that Wen Ran was not around, a sense of loss crept into Gu Kai’s heart. He had hoped to speak to Ranran for a bit.
“Mm, she doesn’t know.”
As Mo Xiuchen spoke, his profound gaze shifted towards a certain direction of the hall. There, leading to the washroom, he could catch sight of Wen Ran as soon as she stepped out.
“Xiuchen, there’s something I need to tell you.”
That day, his father Gu Yan had instructed him to inform Mo Xiuchen when they got in contact. Although he didn’t want to dampen their spirits, it was a matter concerning Ranran’s safety, and he had to let him know.
Picking up the seriousness in his words, Mo Xiuchen’s eyes slightly narrowed, calmly asking, “What’s up?”
“On the day of the press conference, my father received a call from Fu Jingyi. Over the phone, he told my father to keep a close eye on Ranran. Fu Jingyi didn’t harm Ranran in the past, but now that he knows of her existence, there’s no telling what kind of madness he might resort to.”
“I understand.”
Mo Xiuchen’s hand, clutching his phone, suddenly tightened. A layer of ink-like color dyed the depths of his eyes, his voice, emotionless to discern.
Fu Jingyi, a man who disappeared for over two decades. By now, no one even knew what he looked like. Even if he appeared before Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran this very moment, he wouldn’t recognize him.
“Mm, you and Ranran should spend more time outside. Here in G City, we’re here, MS Group is here, along with Ah Feng and Ah Mu. Mo Zixuan wouldn’t be able to take control in such a short time.”
Gu Kai glanced at Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng, speaking in a gentle manner.
Being away from the disputes in G City would surely make Ranran happy. After some thought, he made another request, “Could you send me a couple of photos of Ranran? I’ve been missing her these past few days.”
Over the phone, as Mo Xiuchen’s deep and magnetic ‘okay’ came through, Qin Mu’s gaze slightly shifted.
After ending the call, the photos were promptly sent over.
Seeing the radiant smile on Wen Ran’s face in the photo, the happiness infused into Gu Kai instantly.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a gentle arc. A look of adoration filled Mo Yu’s eyes.
Qin Mu showed no discernable change in emotions on his face. The tumultuous emotions were all suppressed deep within his heart, like a storm contained at the ocean floor, leaving the surface calm and undisturbed.
Ever since that day, Wu Tianyi and Xiao Wenqing have split up.
These days, Xiao Wenqing obediently stayed in her room without stepping out. Her eyes fixated on the TV or computer, keeping tabs on G City’s movements.
However, the more she followed the situation, the more infuriated she became.
Seeing the situation veering out of her control and developing unfavorably for her with each passing day, she was certain that the person pulling the strings behind the scenes was Mo Xiuchen.
The most vexing part was, amidst such a major event, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran, the two parties involved, were unexpectedly not in G city. On the first day, she had assumed that Mo Xiuchen must have kept Wen Ran at home, too embarrassed to face the public.
But after so many days, those facing the media journalists had always been Luo Haofeng, Qin Mu and others. Even her son collaborated with them, announcing today in a newspaper that he had severed their mother-son relationship.
The resentment and fury in Xiao Wenqing’s heart were enough to cause destruction.
All of this was Wen Ran’s doing. Mo Zixuan even told the media about Wen Ran wiping out his memory and admitted that he’s currently striving to restore his memory.
Xiao Wenqing could no longer wait.
She didn’t call Wu Tianyi, fearing that telling him would result in him preventing her from carrying out her actions.
Instead, she called Cheng Jia in D country. She intended to utilize everything she could to bring Wen Ran to her.
The phone rang several times before it was picked up. Separated by the Pacific Ocean, Cheng Jia’s voice came through, professional and polite, “Hello, this is Cheng Jia.”
“Cheng Jia, it’s me.”
“Mrs. Mo? Aren’t the police hunting you down? Where are you now?”
Even though she was far away in D country, Cheng Jia was always keeping an eye on the situation in G city, especially anything related to Mo Xiuchen, which of course included the sensational events of these past few days.
“I’m in a very safe place, the police can’t find me. Cheng Jia, do you know where Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran have gone for their carefree trip?”
Xiao Wenqing let out a cold laugh, her voice becoming shrill from resentment.
“Mrs. Mo, I’m not in the country, how would I know?”
Just like her, Cheng Jia wanted to know where Mo Xiuchen had gone. The day before, she had tried to contact Mo Xiuchen using an important case as an excuse, only to find that she was video calling with Mo Zixuan.
Ever since Wen Ran’s background was exposed, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran disappeared simultaneously.
“Even if you are abroad, don’t you still have friends in the country? Cheng Jia, as long as you can find out where Wen Ran is currently, I would be able to fulfill your wish and take her away. You’re returning to the country soon, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want Wen Ran to be next to Mo Xiuchen when you get back.”
Xiao Wenqing understood Cheng Jia quite well, effortlessly touching upon her sore points. It felt good to have someone by the neck, unable to retaliate.
She let out a perverse laugh.
“You had so much time before, yet I didn’t see Mrs. Mo take Wen Ran away. Why should I help you?”
Cheng Jia’s words froze the smile on Xiao Wenqing’s face. She hadn’t expected Cheng Jia to dare to speak up to her like this after spending only a few days abroad.
“The past is the past, and now is now. Cheng Jia, you’ve been out of the country for a while, and you should’ve become smarter. Can’t you understand why Mo Xiuchen took Wen Ran away from G City at this crucial moment, and why Gu Kai and Wen Jin are jointly suppressing the media and claiming that Wen Ran’s infertility is just a rumor?”
“Are you saying Wen Ran doesn’t know about the situation and that she’s truly infertile?”
A few days ago, Cheng Jia had her doubts and wanted to understand whether Wen Ran was truly infertile, or whether it was just a rumor.
But she had been very busy those days, and didn’t know who to ask, so she’d been silently following the situation’s developments without inquiring.
Now, with Xiao Wenqing’s call, she wouldn’t dream of passing up such an opportunity.
“Of course it’s true. Otherwise, why do you think Wen Ran hasn’t gotten pregnant even after being married to Mo Xiuchen for all these months?”
A cold smile flashed in Xiao Wenqing’s eyes. To get Cheng Jia to cooperate with her, she contained her previous rage and patiently explained, “She was kidnapped by Gu Yan’s rival Fu Jingyi when she was young and was fed with drugs for six years. Not only that, Fu Jingyi also used her for many experiments. She can never conceive a child in this lifetime. Cheng Jia, this is your best chance to win over Mo Xiuchen. Once you get rid of Wen Ran, you won’t have any rivals.”
“How do I contact you?”
After half a beat of silence on the other end, Cheng Jia’s voice came through again.
Learning from her previous lesson, Xiao Wenqing spoke indifferently, “Find out as soon as possible where Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen have gone. I will call you at irregular intervals. However, if you dare betray me and tell Mo Xiuchen, you know what the consequences will be.”
