Chapter 518: 517 You can’t be serious

MS Group is going to hold a celebration banquet this Saturday.

The individuals who contributed the most were the three who returned from D Country, led by Cheng Jia, particularly Jia herself, who made a significant ‘contribution’ to MS Group by breaking into the European market.

The two executives who originally recommended her for training felt that Jia deserved a raise and a promotion. During the meeting, Mo Xiuchen publicly asked for Jia’s opinion. She expressed her wish in a clear yet ‘gentle’ manner.

Therefore, Mo Xiuchen announced that he would hold a celebration banquet for the three of them over the weekend, at which he would announce her promotion and salary increase.

Although Cheng Jia had burned her leg the day before, upon receiving such a promise from Mo Xiuchen, she was immediately overjoyed. The pain in her burned leg seemed to disappear immediately.

After the meeting, Mo Xiuchen returned to his office, followed by Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng.

As soon as he walked in, Luo Haofeng asked, “Xiuchen, are you really going to bring Cheng Jia back to your side as your secretary?”

A while ago, when Wen Ran served as Mo Xiuchen’s secretary, Qin Mu took on some different duties. These days, Wen Ran hasn’t been coming to work, and the position stood vacant. Qin Mu’s case, which he was handling, hadn’t been closed. Unexpectedly, Jia really took the opportunity.

Qin Mu’s pitch-black eyes swept over another empty desk, he suddenly felt that without Wen Ran, the office became gloomy.

Mo Xiuchen leaned back in his chair, placed his long fingers on his light eyebrows, and casually said, “She has brought profits to the company, of course, I have to agree to her small request.”

“Xiuchen, don’t tell me you’re serious? Wen Ran only just left, and you’re letting Cheng Jia come into your office?” Qin Mu, who is usually calm, was also startled and looked at Mo Xiuchen disapprovingly.

Luo Haofeng squinted at Mo Xiuchen, who had closed his eyes.

“Ah Mu, have you found Wu Tianyi’s wife and children?”

Mo Xiuchen, with his eyes closed, asked, changing the subject.

As soon as he spoke, Qin Mu’s eyes flashed sharply. He suddenly understood what he meant by his previous words, he answered a different question, “Do you want Cheng Jia to serve as Mo Zixuan’s secretary?”

Mo Xiuchen opened his eyes, the corners of his sexy lips hooked up chillingly, “Of course, do you think I would bring her to my office?”

“Xiuchen, you scared me just now!”

Luo Haofeng exhaled deeply and soothingly patted his chest.

Qin Mu shot Mo Xiuchen a cold glance before he answered his previous question, “It’s all ready, it just depends on Mo Zixuan.”

Police station

In the same small room, Xiao Wenqing, who Mo Zixuan sees, is in an even worse condition than a few days ago. She now shows no signs of former glory or nobility and reeks strongly of a foul odor.

“Zixuan, didn’t you bring me anything to eat today?”

Xiao Wenqing looked at the empty table, only Mo Zixuan was in front of her, without food. Disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Mo Zixuan looked at her with a very serious expression, “There are three more days until the trial day, mom, haven’t you made up your mind yet? Or, are you waiting for Wu Tianyi to rescue you?”

“Don’t talk to me about that.”

Xiao Wenqing immediately became angry at the sound of this.

Mo Zixuan snorted, pulled a stack of photos from his pocket and threw them on the table, coldly saying, “Look for yourself, the man you’ve been longing for day and night, look at what he has done behind your back.”

When Xiao Wenqing saw the man in the picture, her face changed, and she grabbed one.

In her dull eyes, anger arose, “This couldn’t possibly be true.”

“Impossible? Mom, these pictures were taken when my dad was looking for evidence of you and Wu Tianyi. You’ve been kept in the dark for so long. Actually, if you think about it, it’s clear. How could Wu Tianyi have scammed so much money from you and have no backup.”

Xiao Wenqing’s face was pale, she looked at all the pictures on the table. They were taken at different times of the year, in different seasons, but she recognized the clothes on Wu Tianyi.

In the pictures, the little boy resembles Wu Tianyi in some ways, and also that woman in some other ways.

“Mom, after giving birth to me, you couldn’t get pregnant again. Any affection Wu Tianyi could have for you, was already consumed within his family. His wife and child had left the country before he fled with you…”

“That’s why he wanted to separate from you in the end. His trip abroad was to be reunited with his wife and child. You think he’d take you? He’s not that stupid.”

Mo Zixuan’s last words dripped with sarcasm.

“He actually deceived me?”

Xiao Wenqing stared at the photos, locked up and tormented for so many days, her sanity teetering on the edge of collapse. Since she came in, she hasn’t heard any news about Wu Tianyi, which inevitably made her feel panicked and suspicious.

“Mom, there’s still time for you to regret, as you have already sacrificed your happiness for that man’s lifelong happiness. Do you want to risk your life for him and let him reunite happily with his wife and child abroad?”

“Let me think about it.”

Xiao Wenqing still could not accept that the man she had loved for a lifetime had betrayed her and fathered a son.

Now thinking about it, Wu Tianyi has always been regretful that she couldn’t give birth and regretful that Mo Zixuan is Mo Jingteng’s son, not his.

Mo Zixuan nodded: “Sure, however, when Wu Tianyi leaves the country to understand, by that time, it will be too late. Mom, my dad asked me to bring a message to you.”

Xiao Wenqing looked at Mo Zixuan blankly.

“My dad said as long as you are willing to repent and forget Wu Tianyi, he can forgive you and find a way to let you out.”

Xiao Wenqing stared at Mo Zixuan in astonishment: “Did he really say that?”

Mo Zixuan laughed at himself: “Mom, apart from Wu Tianyi’s words, whose words you do not believe in? You know very well how my dad has treated you in recent years. He hurt you in anger. If he didn’t love you, why would he let Mo Xiuchen fend for himself?”

“…”

Xiao Wenqing lowered her head, her heart wavering.

Actually, she was not originally this cruel and wicked. It was because of some incidents after Mo Jingteng took her by force, leading her to where she is today.

Mo Zixuan watched her for a few seconds, then said, “The woman who’s jailed with you will be taken away this afternoon. You won’t be bullied anymore. You should think carefully. I won’t be working in the afternoon. I will make you some soup. I’ll come and see you again in the evening.”

Havin said that, Mo Zixuan stood up, prepared to leave.

“Zixuan, wait a minute.”

Xiao Wenqing’s face changed, and she stopped him.

Mo Zixuan frowning, he sat down again and said gently, “Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it. I’m listening.”
