Chapter 738: 737 has been afraid of heights since childhood
Wen Ran held her head pleading, “Bro, I won’t talk anymore.”
“That’s more like it.”
Gu Kai, satisfied, curved the corner of his lips and spoke gently, “Ranran, Zhou Lin came back to the country for Mo Zixuan. She might have threatened you earlier, but she will surely look for you again.”
Zhou Lin’s obsession with Mo Zixuan was beyond salvation.
Initially, in the way Mo Zixuan treated her, forcing her to flee to a foreign land, we thought she would never return.
Unbeknownst to us, the moment Mo Zixuan was in trouble, she returned with her less than a month old daughter.
Upon hearing the cries of the baby over the phone earlier, Wen Ran had softened a little.
But Zhou Lin mentioning Mo Xiuchen had dissipated whatever little pity she had in her heart.
If not for Mo Zixuan’s order to set fire to the pharmaceutical factory, she wouldn’t have rushed back overnight to be captured by Liao Dongxing’s men and used as a hostage.
Pressure to the point of forced suicide, perhaps, that was the cause of Xiuchen’s memory loss…
Zhou Lin recognized her own pain, but could she ever imagine the pain others endure?
She pursed her lips and spoke softly, “Bro, I’m going to City C the day after tomorrow. Zhou Lin shouldn’t run to City C to find me, don’t worry.”
Qin Mu saw Wen Ran’s sadness, knowing she was thinking about Mo Zixuan’s issues, which reminded her of Xiuchen.
His expression dimmed, speaking faintly, “Zhou Lin should save Mo Zixuan on her own, shouldn’t pressure others. Wen Ran, even if she follows you to City C, you don’t have to bother with her.”
Zhou Lin was truly despicable, Mo Zixuan had put Wen Ran through so much and she still had the audacity to come and plead with Wen Ran to spare Mo Zixuan.
“Yeah, it’s not like I can decide what happens. Mo Zixuan should pay for his own mistakes,” Wen Ran replied.
Upon hearing Wen Ran, Qin Mu and Gu Kai felt somewhat relieved.
They were afraid that she would empathize with Zhou Lin and aggrieve herself.
In the eyes of these two men, not just Zhou Lin, nobody was worth Wen Ran distressing herself over to forgive them.
On Monday, Wen Ran and Qin Mu left for City C together. Before leaving, Gu Kai and Wen Jin sent them to the airport.
They left only after seeing them through the security check.
Upon reaching the parking lot, Gu Kai did not get into his car but instead climbed into Wen Jin’s car.
“You’re not driving?”
Wen Jin looked at Gu Kai who climbed into the passenger seat, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, asking doubtfully.
Gu Kai hooked the safety belt leisurely and then looked up at Wen Jin standing by the car door, a smirk on his face, “I won’t be driving, I’m a bit tired. Take me back to the hospital. By the way, I have something to discuss with you.”
Wen Jin looked at Gu Kai who appeared refreshed, not looking tired at all.
He’s already buckled up the safety belt, and Wen Jin has no choice but to sit in the driver’s seat, buckle up the safety belt, start the car, and ask casually, “What about your car?”
Gu Kai lazily leaned back on the seat.
His slender fingers curved, unconsciously tapping on his leg.
He replied nonchalantly, “I’ll call someone to pick it up later. I played with Ranran all day yesterday and now my whole body aches.”
“I didn’t notice you looking tired at all.”
Wen Jin glanced at him from the corner of his eye, driving very slowly after the car started.
Yesterday he and Qin Mu accompanied Wen Ran to the amusement park, where they incidentally brought Bai Xiaoxiao along.
In the past, he didn’t know that Wen Ran was afraid of heights. She wanted to play the thrilling games, but dared not.
So, as her big brother, he accompanied her.
Gu Kai complained, “Who said I’m not tired? I was harassed by Ranran all day yesterday. I won’t take her to the amusement park next time, no matter what.”
Gu Kai said while lightly shaking his arm. His right hand rested on his left shoulder, massaging gently.
Wen Jin saw Gu Kai massaging his shoulder. Even though he was complaining, his expression was brimming with happiness.
A warmth ignited in his heart, and his voice trailed off gently, “Actually, Ranran has been afraid of heights since she was a child. When I took her to the amusement park for a play, she was both fond of and scared. She would often scream yet remain playful. But who would have thought that she, who was so afraid of heights, would experience two suicide attempts within a year.”
When it came to this point, Wen Jin’s voice paused, his tone subtly lacing with agony.
Thinking about Ranran’s two suicide attempts, almost losing her life, his heart fluttered with a layer of subtle pain.
Gu Kai frowned, though he did not know this before, he understood it after yesterday.
He remembered, yesterday when Wen Ran said she didn’t dare play that game alone since she was afraid of heights, Qin Mu’s face changed abruptly.
He, too, immediately thought of her being forced to jump off a cliff.
Initially, he wanted Qin Mu to accompany Ranran for those games, but recalling Xiuchen, he gave up on that idea and accompanied Ranran himself.
“Did you know Zhou Lin is back?”
Gu Kai changed the topic, slightly turning his body to look at Wen Jin who was driving.
Wen Jin nodded, a hint of iciness appearing in his brow, “I heard from Zhixing, she visited Mo Zixuan two days ago. Has she looked for Ranran yet?”
“Yeah, she called Ranran, wanting you to spare Mo Zixuan and prevent him from going to prison.”
A curve appeared at the corner of Wen Jin’s mouth, revealing an icy arc, “Why isn’t she begging Mo Jingteng, why come to find Ranran?”
Gu Kai laughed, his smile filled with sarcasm, “Mo Jingteng abandoned this pawn- Mo Zixuan as soon as his deeds were revealed. Now all his energy is probably on Xiuchen.
I heard from Ah Mu, Mo Jingteng plans on acquiring Haochen and has already had someone write the acquisition proposal.”
Wen Jin looked surprised. He had been busy with the medicinal supplies these few days and was indeed unaware of MS Group’s actions.
That fire not only burnt down the lab but also their warehouse where the medicinal supplies were stored. For the past two months, Wen Jin couldn’t rest properly.
“Mo Jingteng wants to acquire Haochen?”
He repeated Gu Kai’s words.
Gu Kai nodded, neither affirming nor denying.
Wen Jin’s eyes sparkled with surprise, then he suddenly asked in astonishment, “Haochen is not that easy to acquire, is Ah Mu going to City C for this matter?
Ah Feng is also in Haochen. With these two, it won’t be easy for Mo Jingteng to achieve his aims.”
“Mo Jingteng knows about Xiuchen’s relationship with Haochen for a long time now. Ah Mu feels, Mo Jingteng is very likely to assign Xiuchen to execute this acquisition plan. If Mo Jingteng really does that, his next target might be your Wen Family.”
Gu Kai’s inference wasn’t just a random guess, rather it’s an analysis.
In reality, he felt that Mo Jingteng taking back Xiuchen and letting him continue his role as the president of MS Group,
Wasn’t to genuinely handover the company to him, but to take advantage of his amnesia to control him.
Mo Jing wasn’t an upright person.
His company’s development to what it is today involved countless dishonorable tactics.
He must still harbor resentment towards Xiuchen leaving the company, and probably also hated Wen Ran.
Because Wen Ran had transformed Xiuchen, causing Xiuchen to repeatedly defy him for her sake.
The corners of Wen Jin’s eyes were filled with icy ridicule. He twisted his mouth cynically, “Is Mo Jingteng not afraid that he will end up playing himself to death? How certain is he that Xiuchen will never recall his past?”
