Zhou Mingfu sneered, “Sending Wen Ran to F City this time was my meticulous plan. What do you think was the reason behind the car accident, and why I suggested that you accompany her?”
“Dad, did you intentionally cause the car accident? Why?”
Zhou Lin couldn’t understand. Taking a car crash as the price seemed self-destructive as much as harmful to the enemy. What if he ended up like Wen Hongrui last time, losing his life?
Zhou Mingfu’s complexion changed slightly as he spoke gravely, “If I hadn’t used this bitter trick, how would Wen Ran believe me? I had underestimated her before. Not only does she have MO Xiuchen by her side, but now Wen Jin has woken up. When I visited him at the hospital a few days ago, he spoke ambiguously, but his words were filled with suspicions towards me.”
“Skeptical about what, the car accident?”
Zhou Lin anxiously asked. She had previously heard from her father about Wen Jin’s suspicion about his acceptance of bribes and how he was investigating him.
“Yes, Wen Jin is not as easy to deal with as Wen Ran. However, he loves Wen Ran so much that if he sees Wen Ran destroyed, he might be so shocked that he becomes vegetative once more…”
Zhou Mingfu knew very well about Wen Jin’s weakness. If something happens to Wen Ran, Wen Jin would certainly be struck hard. As for MO Xiuchen’s reaction, it would definitely be interesting to see; an impotent man whose wife gets courted by countless men…
A look of shock crossed Zhou Lin’s face. A moment later, she asked, “Dad, will Wen Ran fall for it? I think she’s not the same person as before, and she is far more defensive now.”
The old Wen Ran, who was protected from the world, didn’t know about many dirtv things. nor could she distinguish between manv Droblematic Deoole.
However, after their family crisis, she had grown up and matured in an instant.
Even towards her, her former ‘sister’, she behaved with indifference and detachment. Let alone confiding in each other as they used to, she was now even reluctant to speak to her.
“Whether she’s fooled or not is no longer her call. This time, she won’t be as lucky as she was during the car accident.”
A hint of cruelty filled Zhou Mingfu’s eyes. He knew Wen Ran would not be easily fooled, so he had prepared a backup plan — once she was in F City, there was no chance of escape.
At the same time, in Wen Ran’s office, Bai Xiaoxiao leaned over her desk, pleadingly looking at her, “Ranran, please take me with you. I promise not to make trouble for you.”
Wen Ran glanced at her, then lowered her head to focus on her computer screen. She needed to purchase several precious medicinal ingredients, and as it was already early autumn, these ingredients would be harder to acquire soon. She wondered whether she should buy more this time.
Yesterday, she visited her brother in the hospital, who gave her good news: Kangning Hospital was going to use her pharmaceutical factory’s injections and two western medicines. Thinking of this, she picked up her desk phone and dialed an internal line.
Bai Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows, moved back to her chair, and patiently waited for Wen Ran to finish her call. Just then, she asked, “Ranran, have you made up your mind yet?”
“Don’t you need to work?”
Wen Ran casually asked, which summed to Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes light up: “No, I have taken a half-month leave.”
“Leave?”
Wen Ran looked at Bai Xiaoxiao with confusion. Bian Xiaoxiao, the young missy, had a breezy job at her family’s company, where Uncle Bai loved her so much that he didn’t wish to trouble her. For such a carefree person to take leave was unusual.
Bai Xiaoxiao pouted, “Recently, my papa and Xiao’s company have a collaboration worked on by that man. I don’t want to see him, so I took some leave.”
Wen Ran knew that she was referring to Xiao Yuting. The Bai Family and Xiao Family were both old and respected, and this girl, Bai Xiaoxiao, had been fond of Xiao Yuting since childhood. She didn’t care about his fickle heart nor his indifference, and chased after him all these years.
Seeing the traces of sorrow in her eyes, Wen Ran felt a slight tug at her heart and agreed with a smile, “Alright, you can come with me to F City.”
Upon hearing her agreement, Bai Xiaoxiao’s face was instantly covered with a brilliant smile, “Ranran, you are the best to me. You definitely won’t regret taking me with you.”
Wen Ran raised her eyebrows, blinked, and said, “Hopefully, I am going there for work, so you should play on your own when we get there.”
“When is the flight tomorrow? I’ll go back to pack now.”
With a delighted look, Bai Xiaoxiao stood up and pushed her chair back roughly, which slid about two meters away. Wen Ran chastised her with a glance and said, “We have a flight at nine in the morning tomorrow. What’s your rush?”
“Right, right, I have something else.”
When Bai Xiaoxiao came to find Wen Ran, she originally had something else in mind. But when she heard that Wen Ran was heading to F City for a pharmaceutical trade fair tomorrow, she forgot her main task.
Now remembering, she slapped her forehead in annoyance.
Wen Ran frowned, worried that she had slapped herself silly, “When will you learn to be gentler to yourself? I don’t want you to become stupid here and have Uncle Bai ask me to compensate for a daughter.”
Bai Xiaoxiao let out a giggle, and pulled her chair back. She sat down
‘elegantly’, and asked with a smile, “Do you know about the construction project for the MS Group’s Commercial Trade Building?”
Wen Ran gave her a look. Come on, even the residents of G City know about that.
“So, my dad wants to cooperate with MS Group. I heard that MO Xiuchen is in charge of the Commercial Trade Building project. Could you give him this for me and have him take a look?”
“Is this why you took a half-month leave?
Wen Ran looked at the plan case that she pulled out from her bag, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Bai Xiaoxiao frowned awkwardly and explained, “Ranran, I’m not asking you to insist on cooperation between MO Xiuchen and us. Just let him have a look.
Even if he doesn’t think it’s good, at least I can report back to my dad.”
“Even if I wanted him to agree, I would need that capability, wouldn’t I? Did you write this?”
Wen Ran took the plan case and put it on the table. Though she and MO Xiuchen were husband and wife, theirs was a loveless marriage. How could she demand him to do something?
Even if they were a love-filled couple, she wouldn’t force him to do something in business just for her sake.
Bai Xiaoxiao made a formal bow and said, “Ranran, you just need to give this to
MO Xiuchen. You don’t have to say a word for me. No, I didn’t write it.”
“Alright, I’ll just give this to him, but I can’t guarantee whether he will look at it or not.”
Wen Ran nodded. Considering that Bai Xiaoxiao had previously persuaded her father to lend her fifty million to get through her crisis, this was a favor she had to return. Although she didn’t borrow money from Bai Xiaoxiao’s family in the end, she’d always kept this favor in mind.
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, thanking her repeatedly, “Ranran, thank you.”
After Bai Xiaoxiao left, Wen Ran dialed MO Xiuchen’s number.
After several rings, the phone was picked up.. MO Xiuchen’s deep voice came through the noise of the digging machine on the construction site, “Hello!”
