Chapter 41 - 41: 041 The MO Family needs an heir
MO Zixuan gritted his teeth and said, “I will definitely find that person! ”
The angrier he was, the better MO Xiuchen’s mood became. His smile widened a bit and he said cheerfully, “I’m waiting for the day you discover the truth.”
“Zixuan, if Zhou Lin really carries your child, it would be good news. Your father and I are eagerly waiting for a grandchild and our MO family needs a successor. As for Wen Ran, she’s already married your brother and will be your sister-in-law. Even if you had feelings for her in the past, you need to let go now. ”
Xiao Wenqing advised earnestly, her words hinting that there was something physically wrong with MO Xiuchen, implying that even if he got married, he wouldn’t be able to continue the lineage of the MO family.
MO Zixuan was no fool, he understood immediately as his mother spoke. He said coldly, “I can provide an heir for the MO family, but I will decide who I will marry.”
After saying so, he looked at MO Xiuchen and taunted, ‘You better make sure Wen Ran remains a widow for the rest of her life.”
“Zixuan!”
As soon as his words fell, MO Jingteng interrupted with a low growl. He felt he was getting too old to handle the constant bickering and attacks between his two sons.
“Zixuan, don’t speak that way to your elder brother. He didn’t choose to be
‘sick’.”
Xiao Wenqing emphasized the word ‘sick’ , her supposed words of comfort only fueling the fire.
Regrettably, MO Xiuchen wasn’t angered. His expression didn’t even change, as if the person they were mocking wasn’t him at all.
On the other hand, Cheng Jia, who had overheard their family matters, looked extremely awkward. After Xiao Wenqing finished speaking, she seemed to realize Cheng Jia was an outsider and instructed her, “Miss Cheng, you should return to your work.”
Cheng Jia looked at MO Xiuchen, replied ‘okay’, and then turned to leave.
Watching her departing figure, a flicker of darkness flashed across MO Xiuchen’s narrowed eyes. Even though he hadn’t been watching her, from the corner of his eye, he could tell that she wasn’t surprised or emotional apart from being embarrassed.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll return to my office.”
After Cheng Jia left, MO Xiuchen tossed out a statement and turned to leave.
“Xiuchen, hold on.”
MO Jingteng’s face changed slightly as he called out to stop him.
MO Xiuchen had taken a step out when, hearing this, he turned his head back to look at him with cold eyes.
MO Jingteng hesitated for a moment, finding it hard facing his son’s apathy. The words he intended to say changed at the last moment, “Is everything in H City taken care of?”
MO Xiuchen snorted through his nose in response. Just then, his phone rang. He didn’t speak any further and turned around to leave.
Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory
Just as Wen Ran stepped out of the restroom, she bumped into Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin had just finished a call and put her phone in her bag. Seeing Wen Ran, she immediately beamed and said in excitement, “Ranran, here’s some great news. Just now I received a call from Zixuan inviting me over for dinner at their home, he said he wants to discuss our wedding arrangements.”
“Is that so? Well, congratulations!”
Wen Ran’s eyebrows knitted together slightly and she responded out of obligation.
Zhou Lin didn’t seem to notice she was being brushed off and asked excitedly,
“Ranran, I heard the MO family also invited the little girl, Cheng Jia, who saved MO Xiuchen’s life years ago. You’ll be there too that night, right?”
Wen Ran was taken aback. Cheng Jia was going to have dinner at the MO family’s house? She didn’t know about this. MO Xiuchen hadn’t told her. She was only aware that this weekend was MO Xiuchen’s birthday..
