Chapter 507: 506 Temptation
In the CEO’s office at the top of the MS Group building.
Mo Zixuan glanced at Mo Xiuchen, who was leaning against the couch with a dull expression, and calmly said, “I’ve been trying very hard to persuade my mother to reveal the whereabouts of Wu Tianyi and Fu Jingyi.”
Mo Xiuchen raised a hand and rubbed his forehead, “She still refused, didn’t she?”
“Give her a bit more time, she will agree for sure. If we can photograph Wu Tianyi being intimate with another woman, she will definitely agree.”
Mo Zixuan shared his thoughts.
However, his words were met with a scornful sneer from Xiuchen, who retorted with mockery, “Mo Zixuan, are you dreaming? We have no clue where Wu Tianyi is right now. He relocated just after Xiao Wenqing was captured, and even his henchmen don’t know his whereabouts. Where are you going to photograph him with another woman?”
“Perhaps, there’s one way that might work.”
From the side, the always silent Qin Mu suddenly spoke up.
“What way?”
Mo Zixuan’s eyes brightened up, ignoring Mo Xiuchen’s mockery, he looked expectantly at Qin Mu.
“Find a substitute.” Qin Mu said indifferently. At present, only Xiao Wenqing knew the hiding place of Wu Tianyi and Fu Jingyi. For this purpose, they had to try every possible method.
Upon hearing this, Mo Zixuan immediately exclaimed with joy, “Yes, why didn’t I think of it? Mo Xiuchen, I think Qin Mu’s idea is great. Find a stand-in, take some flirtatious pictures, and as long as my mother sees those photos, she will believe that Wu Tianyi has more than one woman.”
Mo Xiuchen squinted his eyes. Qin Mu’s idea was not impracticable. But where would they find a man who looks like Wu Tianyi on such short notice, and further, the time frame needs to be set in the past.
Let Xiao Wenqing know that the money she painstakingly obtained from Mo Jingteng was used by Wu Tianyi to support other women. If there are children involved, it would be even better!
“Old man should have Wu Tianyi’s photos, ask him for it when you get home. Not just women, it’s best if there are children too. So your mother will believe that the money she gave to Wu Tianyi was used to support other women and children.”
“Okay!”
Mo Zixuan nodded. As long as it could make his mother tell the truth, he didn’t mind deceiving her a bit. Telling the truth wouldn’t hurt her anyway.
“Let me handle the matter of the child. I have some free time these days.”
Qin Mu said softly, and Mo Zixuan looked at Mo Xiuchen for approval.
“I’ll leave that to you, Ah Mu!”
Mo Xiuchen had no objections. He was always confident in Qin Mu’s ability to handle things.
“I will go home tonight and ask my father for photos.” Mo Zixuan stood up and left his office after finishing his sentence.
Opening the door, Gu Kai was standing outside, his hand halfway through a knock.
Mo Zixuan nodded at him, and Gu Kai stepped aside to let him pass.
“Ah Kai, why are you here?” Qin Mu was also planning to leave. Seeing Gu Kai coming in, his eyebrows raised in surprise.
Mo Xiuchen narrowed his eyes slightly. Gu Kai was the sort who seldom visited without cause. He had been busy in the hospital every day, but chose this moment to come in person. There must be something up.
Gu Kai closed the door and walked towards Mo Xiuchen and Qin Mu. Instead of answering, he asked, “Why was Mo Zixuan here? Has there been any progress on his end?”
“No, he was just sympathizing with Xiao Wenqing’s predicament in jail and wanted us to replace that woman.”
Mo Xiuchen clarified casually. Mo Zixuan still had feelings for Xiao Wenqing. Seeing her bruised and battered, it’s normal for him to empathize.
Gu Kai chuckled, “He sure has the guts to say that. Why didn’t you tell him that it was Wen Jin’s idea? According to your line of thought, wouldn’t it be best to starve her to death?”
“Indeed, she should be starved to death if it wasn’t for hoping she’d disclose the whereabouts of Wu Tianyi and Fu Jingyi.” Qin Mu joined the conversation.
A chill flashed in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes. He’ll let her enjoy a few days for now. If she stubbornly refuses to speak, then there will be plenty of time left to torment her.
“Did Ranran’s test results come out?”
He looked at Gu Kai and asked calmly.
Gu Kai saw his attempts to appear calm and smirked, “I heard that you went to the Wen Family last night.”
Mo Xiuchen picked up the water cup on the table and admitted frankly, “Yes, I did.”
“Wen Jin said that this morning, Bai Xiaoxiao woke up and didn’t see Ranran. She thought Ranran was already up, but she found her in the next room. She was sleeping on the bed you had slept on two nights ago.”
Gu Kai spoke with a somewhat heavy tone.
Upon hearing the words, Mo Xiuchen’s hand holding the cup trembled slightly. His dark eyes instantly lifted and gazed directly at Gu Kai.
“Wen Jin just called me. He told me to remind you not to pester them anymore and to give Ranran some time.”
Gu Kai’s tone softened a bit.
Mo Xiuchen didn’t respond. His thin lips were pressed into a firm, straight line. His hand gripping the cup tightened.
Last night, he sat in the car all night.
He genuinely didn’t want to disturb Ranran; he just wanted to be near her.
Even just gazing at the window of her room would make him feel less lonely. But the words Gu Kai said just now tugged painfully at his heart.
She was awake!
He heard Wen Jin’s words ringing in his ear, “You know very well that as soon as you show up, Ranran always finds out.” His Ranran, clearly loved him; why did she keep pushing him away?
Seeing him trying hard to suppress his emotions, Qin Mu couldn’t help but speak, “I think Mo Xiuchen is doing right. The more Wen Ran pushes him away, the more it shows that she cares about him deep inside. Therefore, Xiuchen should strive to reconcile instead of distancing himself from her when she needs him the most.”
Gu Kai sighed lightly, “We all feel that Ranran needs Xiuchen the most right now. However, Ranran told me yesterday that she feels pressured with Xiuchen around. It’s not difficult for her to calmly accept her situation and optimistically accept treatment. But the precondition is to respect her wishes.”
“Her wish isn’t Mo Xiuchen?”
Qin Mu looked at Gu Kai puzzled.
Gu Kai shook his head, glanced at Mo Xiuchen, and calmly answered, “Her wish is freedom, not to implicate anyone, especially Mo Xiuchen. The test results are out, the effect is not clear, but it’s there.”
A storm raged in Mo Xiuchen’s dark eyes, and the cup in his hand seemed about to be crushed by his grasp.
He was very excited. As long as there was any effect, everything was worth it.
Gu Kai noticed the change in his emotions and suggested tentatively, “Xiuchen, I think you should give Ranran more time. She told me yesterday that she wants to travel and see the world. With a better mood, it will be significantly helpful to her condition.”
