Chapter 404: 403 I want to see you

Translator: 549690339

Since returning from Mo Xiuchen, Mo Zixuan had been in a constant dilemma.

There was no denying that Mo Xiuchen’s words had an effect on him. Like the suspicion Mo Jingteng cast on him last night, he began to doubt Xiao Wenqing’s motives.

For a man named Wu Tianyi, Xiao Wenqing had betrayed her father. Now, the idea of using him was not impossible.

Mo Xiuchen had shared a wealth of information with him. While shocked, he couldn’t help but admire Mo Xiuchen. If it had been him in Xiuchen’s place, he would have been long dead with no place to be buried. Where would he have the power to gather evidence against his enemies? Over the years, he had heard about how Mo Xiuchen slowly devoured and eradicated his mother’s influence.

If it weren’t for Mo Xiuchen, the MS Group would have fallen into Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi’s hands. His father, Mo Jingteng, wasn’t a fool, he was just overly trusting and doting on Xiao Wenqing.

Even so, the data Mo Xiuchen revealed to him left him startled. All that money was painstakingly earned by his father, only for Xiao Wenqing to use it on her lover.

Not only that, Xiao Wenqing had blood on her hands. From bewitching Mo Xiuchen’s mother with drugs, leading her to jump from a building, to a failed attempt to murder Wen Ran in his childhood, and a few months ago, joining forces with Wu Tianyi and Zhou Mingfu to stage a flawless car accident, which resulted in the death of Wen Hongrui and his wife.

Even more outrageously, soon after, she caused Zhou Mingfu’s death. In order to eliminate Wen Ran and better control him, she went as far as deleting his memory…

What he couldn’t accept the most was when he was kicked out of the Mo family, at his lowest point and the most run-down mentally, Xiao Wenqing, as his mother, not only didn’t aid him but found people to humiliate him to stir up hatred in his heart.

“Sir, your coffee.”

The waiter’s voice interrupted his thoughts. He collected his emotions, nodded at the waiter, and sat up straight in his chair.

Just as he picked up the spoon, his phone suddenly rang.

This ringtone was set for specific calls. Hearing the sound, Mo Zixuan’s eyes underwent a sudden change. He frowned slightly before taking out his phone. The incoming call was a string of numbers not saved as a contact.

“Hello!”

He pressed the answer key, lazily greeting the person.

“Zixuan, have you found out the results? Is Wen Ran Gu Yan’s daughter?”

From the other end of the line, Xiao Wenqing’s voice came through, with no greetings, cutting straight to the chase.

Mo Zixuan gave a mocking smile with Mo Xiuchen’s words echoing in his ears and gave a counter-question instead of answering, “Where are you now?”

Xiao Wenqing was surprised by his question. After a pause, she said casually, “Zixuan, I’m in a safe place now. Don’t worry, you just have to tell me if Wen Ran is Gu Yan’s daughter.”

“I want to see you.”

Mo Zixuan was being adamant, signaling that if she didn’t tell him where she was, he wouldn’t listen to her anymore.

“Zixuan, what’s wrong with you today? Did somebody say something to you? Your mom isn’t keeping secrets from you, it’s for the best that you know less.”

Xiao Wenqing’s words, which could trick children, were somewhat challenging to fool the suspicious Mo Zixuan. He didn’t believe her, he scoffed coldly, “Then tell me, how did you delete my memories of Wen Ran? Is it possible to recover them?”

“Zixuan!”

Xiao Wenqing exclaimed, astounded. He was far from satisfying her today.

“If you don’t answer any of my questions, then I’ll leave the company immediately. I don’t care about money and power anyway. You know that, and I have no feelings for Wen Ran. I don’t care even if she and Mo Xiuchen are in love.”

“Zixuan, did Mo Xiuchen trip you up again, or did Mo Jingteng say something to you? How could you have such thoughts? Do you want to return to the life you had before, looked down upon and even humiliated by people?”

Xiao Wenqing blurted out in panic.

“Humiliated? Mom, so the people who humiliated me were arranged by you. You are indeed my good mom.”

Mo Zixuan said through gritted teeth, his face pale.

His grip on the spoon tightened until his knuckles turned white.

“Zixuan, what are you talking about? Just because I know you were humiliated doesn’t mean I was the one who arranged for those people. I’m your mom, how could I do that to you? Those people were sent by Mo Xiuchen. He couldn’t find me, so he took his anger out on you.”

“Mo Xiuchen is not as stupid as you make him out to be.”

Mo Zixuan laughed mockingly, “Since you don’t want to tell me the truth, then there’s nothing more for me to say. I have decided to quit the company. After all, you have Wu Tianyi, you don’t need a son like me.”

“Zixuan, of course, mom needs you. Don’t do anything stupid. I’ll call you again later.”

Xiao Wenqing instructed him briefly before hanging up.

Mo Zixuan stared at the phone screen that had ended the call. His eyes gradually froze over, and his heart sank into sorrow.

He was bewildered, unsure of what he should do next.

A voice told him, what Mo Xiuchen said was correct. In any case, his surname was Mo, he was a descendant of the Mo family, he couldn’t help outsiders to seize the Mo family’s assets.

But the inner demon was not wholly defeated, with another voice saying Mo Xiuchen was also trying to use him. All he had said was out of fear that he would expose Wen Ran’s identity.

He even promised that as long as he didn’t help Xiao Wenqing, he could always remain in the company as the deputy general. Although he couldn’t be above everyone else, he would at least be superior to the majority.

If he helped Xiao Wenqing, he wouldn’t be able to predict the outcome.

Another city

Xiao Wenqing hung up the phone and was discussing with Wu Tianyi whether they should disclose their location to Mo Zixuan.

When Xiao Wenqing had called Mo Zixuan earlier, Wu Tianyi wasn’t present. After hearing her explanation, Wu Tianyi unhesitatingly rejected the idea: “No need to tell Mo Zixuan, he’s already suspicious and his mind is wavering.”

“But if I don’t tell Zixuan, he will leave the company and won’t listen to me anymore.”

Xiao Wenqing was somewhat concerned. Without Mo Zixuan, how could they intervene in the MS Group?

A shadow flickered in Wu Tianyi’s eyes: “First, ask him about Wen Ran’s background, then tell him. Once he found out about Wen Ran’s background, we can let him know our location, and you can meet him.”

“Will Zixuan believe it?”

Xiao Wenqing frowned. Just now, Mo Zixuan’s tone over the phone was very firm. She was afraid that if she upset him, he wouldn’t believe her anymore.

“You already made a mistake last time, and we were almost discovered. Now is a critical time and I absolutely will not allow the address to be disclosed to anyone. If it weren’t for a small issue on Professor Fu’s end, we would already be abroad by now. Once we’re overseas, you can tell Mo Zixuan then.”
