Chapter 125 - 125: She passed out.
Cheng Jia’s words suddenly turned sharp and harsh. She felt that Wen Ran was mocking her, and she couldn’t stand Wen Ran’s victorious posture.
If she hadn’t married MO Xiuchen first, the woman standing by MO Xiuchen right now would surely have been her.
She was just a step too late!
Wen Ran’s face subtly changed and a trace of coldness gathered in her eyes. Without haste, she stood up from her chair, looking down at Cheng Jia lying on the hospital bed. Her stature seemed to exude an air of superiority.
The look in Cheng Jia’s eyes turned even more mocking and resentful.
“Cheng Jia, don’t you know that how it happened isn’t important, what’s important is the outcome?”
Wen Ran smiled, but her eyes held a chilling hardness. She no longer addressed her as Miss Cheng. Instead, she used her first name, throwing back a mocking retort.
“Wen Ran, you have no shame!”
Cheng Jia’s face turned pale as if flames would shoot out of her eyes.
Wen Ran chuckled and pulled out her mobile phone. She pointed the lens at Cheng Jia’s resentful, distorted face and snapped a couple of pictures. She then turned the phone towards Cheng Jia and lightly said, “Surely ‘shameless’ suits you more. If I’m not wrong, you should usually present a gentle and soft facade in front of MO Xiuchen. If he saw this harridan-like display, I wonder what his reaction would be?”
Cheng Jia’s face turned even paler, and terror flashed in her eyes. Subconsciously reaching up to touch her own face, she didn’t want MO Xiuchen to see her jealous side. She suddenly struggled to sit up on the bed, “Wen Ran, you have no right to take my photo! Give it back!”
At this moment, Cheng Jia wished she could tear Wen Ran into pieces.
However, she lacked the ability to do so. The wound on her head was genuine. With her emotions running high and her sudden attempt to sit up, a searing pain split through her skull. With a murderous glance at Wen Ran, she closed her eyes and collapsed back onto the bed, fainting.
Wen Ran was taken aback, not expecting Cheng Jia to faint so easily. Seeing her pale face on the hospital bed, a shred of worry welled up in Wen Ran’s heart. She swiftly reached for the call button next to the bed and after pressing it, she dashed out of the room.
When Gu Kai and MO Xiuchen arrived shortly after, Wen Ran was standing anxiously in the hallway.
“Cheng Jia fainted!”
Gu Kai nodded and soothingly said, “Don’t worry, I’ll go check on her. She will be fine.”
With that, he strode into the sickroom. MO Xiuchen stood at the doorway, looking at Cheng Jia on the bed, then turned to Wen Ran, asking with concern, “Why did she suddenly faint?”
He had only left the room a few minutes ago, he barely exchanged a few words with Gu Kai.
Wen Ran’s eyes flickered and she glanced inside the room. In her heart, she had some doubts about whether Cheng Jia had faked fainting. However, she could not voice this directly. Even if Cheng Jia had faked fainting, she would never admit it.
Cheng Jia would undoubtedly shift the blame onto her once she woke up. “Ranran, what did you two talk about?”
Seeing Wen Ran stay silent, simply staring at the sickroom, MO Xiuchen furrowed his handsome brows in confusion and asked again.
Wen Ran averted her gaze and met MO Xiuchen’s questioning eyes. She pursed her lips and handed him her phone after retrieving it from her bag.”You can look at the photos,” she said flatly.
“What is this?”
MO Xiuchen’s confusion deepened. Noticing Wen Ran’s apparent displeasure and reluctance to talk, he took the phone, unlocked it, and opened the photos. Upon seeing Cheng Jia’s resentful gaze and her distorted features due to anger, his gaze flickered and his lips tightened.
“You two had a disagreement?”
Wen Ran shrugged, about to say something, but Cheng Jia suddenly woke up with a start inside the room. Wen Ran looked over in surprise, only to see Gu Kai retract his hand. She hadn’t seen how he had ‘rescued’ Cheng Jia.
“You better ask her yourself!”
The worried knot in Wen Ran’s chest loosened. Seeing Cheng Jia wake up and immediately look towards the doorwav, Wen Ran suddenlv didn’t feel like staying there. She left behind the words “I’m going to see my brother,” before turning and leaving.
“Ranran!”
Watching Wen Ran’s retreating figure, MO Xiuchen’s eyebrows knitted together. Her phone was still in his hand.
Inside the room, Gu Kai asked Cheng Jia a few questions. She complained of a headache, and it seemed like she was not in good shape. Gu Kai advised her to rest well and not to get too emotional. Seeing her absent-minded, he didn’t stay long and soon left the room.
After Wen Ran and Gu Kai left in succession, Cheng Jia thought MO Xiuchen would enter the room to accompany her, or at least show concern with a question. However, even after waiting for a while, he did not come in.
A few minutes later, a special nursing assistant entered the room. Cheng Jia thought it was MO Xiuchen, her joy had no chance to surface before turning into disappointment. She asked unhappily, “Where is Young Master MO?”
“Young Master MO had to leave due to an urgent matter. He asked you to rest well, Miss Cheng,” the nurse replied in a gentle tone, not taking offense at her cold demeanor.
“I want to rest for a while, you can leave!”
Cheng Jia gritted her teeth and raised her hand to touch the aching spot below her nose. She shut her eyes and paid no more attention to the nurse.
MO Xiuchen and Gu Kai left together. With no sign of Wen Ran, Gu Kai asked in a seemingly casual tone, ‘Where’s Wen Ran? Why did she leave on her own?”
“There was probably some unpleasantness between her and Cheng Jia. Cheng Jia couldn’t take the shock and fainted. Wen Ran wasn’t feeling good either. She just asked me to inquire Cheng Jia myself and she left,” MO Xiuchen explained.
Hearing this, Gu Kai snorted in amusement, his voice edged with mockery, “Cheng Jia was clearly faking it. Only a naive girl like Wen Ran would be fooled.”
“Faking it?”
MO Xiuchen squinted his sharp eyes.
Gu Kai raised an eyebrow, opened his hand to reveal a small needle, and said, used this to wake her up. As soon as I walked into the room, I knew she was feigning unconsciousness.”
MO Xiuchen hadn’t entered the room so, of course, he wouldn’t realize Cheng Jia was pretending. Upon hearing Gu Kai’s words, his expression stiffened, and when he spoke again, his voice held a touch of frost, “Cheng Jia seems to be skilled in acting. She appears gentle, soft, and understanding in front of me.
But faced with Wen Ran, her true colors show.”
Nonchalantly, Gu Kai chuckled, “If you’re curious about her true colors, you can watch the video. But I won’t join you. I don’t want to see any disgusting scenes.”
MO Xiuchen shot him a glare and said icily, “If I want to know about her behavior in the hospital, there’s no need for me to watch the video myself.”
“You’re going to use Little Liu as a scapegoat again! It’s quite unfortunate for him to have a master like you,” Gu Kai said with a sneer. He and MO Xiuchen had been brothers for many years. Through his single facial expression and cryptic remarks, he could guess what was going on in his mind..
