Chapter 80: 080 Wen Jin VS MO Xiuchen (2)
Translator: 549690339
MO Xiuchen was indeed doing this on purpose.
If he didn’t have that special feeling for Wen Ran, and if Wen Jin had no connection to Wen Ran, he would definitely not waste his time talking to him here.
Not to mention with such a amiable attitude.
Even though the words he just said were not courteous, his demeanor seemed warm and genial. Wen Jin was the only one who disliked his gentleness.
Wen Jin gave a faint smile, returning MO Xiuchen’s ‘care’ back to him: “I heard previously that Young Master MO couldn’t perform sexually, never had any women around him, and I was surprised why all of a sudden you wanted to marry my sister. Wouldn’t it be because you couldn’t stand those rumors and decided to use the marriage to cover things up?
MO Xiuchen’s long and narrow eyes narrowed sharply. Wen Jin, as the successor trained by Wen Hongrui, had a knack for saying one thing while meaning another.
“Does Young Master Wen think that I would wait till now to marry your sister if I wanted to cover things up?
Speaking, he leaned his tall body back into the chair, his legs casually crossed, showing a leisurely and calm demeanor, not the least bit self-conscious or angry about his impotence being exposed by Wen Jin.
Wen Jin also narrowed his eyes, his heart sinking slightly.
MO Xiuchen’s expression made him consider one possibility – he wasn’t sick at all!
Those rumors that spread all over G city were just rumors. His mind quickly went through all the rumors concerning MO Xiuchen. If he remembered correctly, he himself had a hand in spreading those rumors.
“Young Master MO can face his illness so calmly, I really admire you!”
Wen Jin sneered. He remembered Wen Ran telling him one night that she and MO Xiuchen were not yet a couple. If he wasn’t sick, then why was that?
MO Xiuchen’s face showed an expression of denial: “I can’t face it calmly, but I can’t just die because of it. If Young Master Wen’s right leg was crippled, would you be desperate enough to seek death?”
Both of them were evenly matched in trading barbed comments.
The smile on Wen Jin’s face froze for a moment. A glint of anger flashed in his eyes as he looked at MO Xiuchen. This man was seriously unlikeable.
Did he wish that his leg would be crippled?
“My condition and Young Master Mo’s are not the same. Even if my leg were crippled, I would still be a real man.”
Wen Jin’s emotions disappeared in an instant, leaving a frivolous smile on his face.
MO Xiuchen raised his eyebrows, “Does Young Master Wen wish that your brother-in-law is not a real man and your sister to remain a widow forever?”
“Brother-in-law?”
Wen Jin frowned slightly, questioning him in a tone of doubt. MO Xiuchen nodded calmly and even gave a cooperative ‘umm’ in agreement.
“Young Master MO, my sister is young and naive. She married you before for her company. I have heard all the details. You lent us Wen’s 50 million and helped her a lot. For this, I am very grateful for Young Master Mots help.”
Wen Jin seemed sincere in what he said.
MO Xiuchen pretended not to understand the politeness and implications in his words, and responded generously, “Since I married Wen Ran, I naturally won’t let her be bullied. If she’s willing, I can find someone to help her manage Wen’s
Pharmaceutical Factory.”
“Thank vou for vour kindness, Younq Master Mo. I’ll make sure to pav back that
50 million, and as for your marriage with Ranran, I hope it ends here.” Wen Jin was utterly serious as he pronounced the final words.
The atmosphere in the ward suddenly froze due to his words.
The two men locked eyes.
One was stern and determined, and the other sharp and arrogant.
“Young Master Wen, you’re joking. My marriage with Wen Ran is protected by the law. It cannot be ended just because you say so.”
A hint of mockery spread across MO Xiuchen’s lips. He would not let anyone take the woman he wanted from him, not MO Zixuan, and not Wen Jin.
Wen Jin frowned, a trace of anger coloring his face. He said coldly, “As the heir of the MS Group, why must you make life difficult for a simple girl? Even though Ranran and MO Zixuan were involved for a while, they have no relations now.”
MO Xiuchen let out a derisive sneer and asked mockingly, “Does Young Master Wen think that I married Wen Ran because I wanted to get back at MO Zixuan? I’m not so bored that I’d treat my own marriage as a joke. I married Wen Ran because I like being with her.”
“If I remember correctly, Young Master MO, you and my sister are practically strangers, where does this ‘liking’ come from?”
Wen Jin’s words were sharp as he stared at MO Xiuchen. He had intended to have a civil conversation with him and was prepared to owe him a favor if he would let go.
He hadn’t expected that he would utter such absurd words.
He had always protected his sister very well. He, her brother, should know who she was acquainted with.
Seeing his ‘agitated’ state, MO Xiuchen calmed down and answered unhurriedly, “Three months ago, I met Wen Ran at a party and we even spoke…”
Just as he was speaking, his phone rang urgently.
Wen Jin’s face tightened in displeasure, the words he was about to say stuck in his throat due to the piercing ring of the phone.
MO Xiuchen took out his phone, a glint appearing in his eyes as he saw the caller. Glancing at Wen Jin out of the corner of his eye, he pressed the answer button, “Hello, Ah Mu!”
“MO Xiuchen, I’ve found something.”
The somewhat excited voice of Qin Mu came over the phone. MO Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed slightly, he asked calmly: “What is it?”
“Wen Ran is not the biological daughter of Wen Hongrui, this much is certain.”
The grip on his phone tightened slightly. MO Xiuchen stood up, walked to the window, and turned sideways to Wen Jin, “Tell me more.”
He had anticipated this result when Qin Mu first called him, but it was not confirmed at that time.
“Wen Hongrui did have a daughter named Wen Ran, just like I told you before, the one who had a serious illness when she was six years old. That was also the year when Wen Hongrui moved his entire family!”
“Actually, the real Wen Ran died during that illness when she was six. That’s the reason why Wen Hongrui’s neighbors didn’t recognize the girl in the photo — they were not the same girl. The current Wen Ran was adopted by Wen Hongrui after his own daughter passed away.”
MO Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed sharply. If Wen Hongrui simply adopted a daughter, why would he move his entire family and hide it from the world?
And how could it be such a coincidence that Wen Ran lost her memory when she was six years old? There must be something in all of this!
“Is there anything else?”
After a moment of silent, he asked again. His low voice was tinged with a slight hint of confusion. Over the phone, Qin Mu answered discontentedly: “That’s all I’ve found for now, there are no clues about Wen Ran’s past or identity. It probably won’t be discovered any time soon..”
