Chapter 342: 341 Out of reach
Even if it was a conspiracy, and someone deliberately wanted to frame Mo Xiuchen, it couldn’t be done so blatantly. There had to be a fuse so that even if it was exposed, it could be handled easily.
The cause of the incident was the ruffian cousin of Yang Xinfa, who had fallen in love with Little sister Chen, the daughter of the other deceased.
But when Little sister Chen refused to go out with him, the man held a grudge and asked his older brother at the construction company for help to approach Little sister Chen’s father. As a result, he was sternly rejected by Father Chen.
Little sister Chen, tall and beautiful, was quite the belle of the work field. It was natural that men would pursue her.
Wen Ran was not yet sure if that man fell in love with Little sister Chen first and was used afterwards, or if he fell into the hunter’s trap from the moment he met Little sister Chen…
After hearing Wen Ran’s words, Wang Yaohui’s expression changed several times. He had a vague idea about the incident, but he was shocked when Wen Ran explained it in detail.
“Miss Wen, does that mean that this revenge from a failed courtship is a private matter and has nothing to do with MS Group?”
“Brother Wang, you’ve misunderstood me. Regardless of the cause, it’s all related to the MS Group. I’m telling you this because I promised to clarify the truth. The specific compensation needs to be discussed by everyone.”
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Wang Yaohui’s face. He probably realized that he was a bit agitated earlier. Wen Ran has always been gentle and has kept her promises to them.
“Miss Wen, I just…”
Wen Ran smiled slightly, “I understand Brother Wang’s feelings. Mo Xiuchen and I have discussed, and we won’t just settle with a sum of money. Uncle Chen’s children are all grown up, but your brother’s children are still young. In addition to a sum of money, we will take care of the children’s tuition fees.”
“If their grades are excellent, the overseas study fees will be fully covered by MS Group in the future. After graduation, if they want to work at MS Group, they will be given priority.”
“Miss Wen, thank you.”
Wang Yaohui stood up suddenly and bowed deeply to Wen Ran.
In his view, MS Group taking care of his nieces and nephews’ tuition fees, and giving them the opportunity to join MS Group in the future, is more meaningful than the sum of money.
Things change over time, and no one knows what the future holds. But Wen Ran’s commitment relieved him from worrying about his niece and nephew’s growth, indirectly meaning that they now had the protection of the MS Group, and even without their father, they would not be bullied.
“Brother Wang, this is what we should do. If you have any other requirements, or if your sister-in-law or Uncle Chen’s family have any other requirements, feel free to tell me. As long as I can manage it, I will definitely do it.”
Wen Ran looked at Wang Yaohui sincerely, and what she said came straight from her heart.
“How about, I ask for the opinion of Chen family’s…”
Wang Yaohui could not make decisions for other people’s families. Wen Ran nodded, just as her mobile phone rang. She pulled out her phone to answer the call, and Wang Yaohui got up to make his call.
“Ranran, have you met Wang Yaohui yet?”
On the phone, Mo Xiuchen’s voice sounded deep and gentle. Wen Ran looked at Wang Yaohui, who went out of the office to make a phone call, and gently replied, “I have talked with him. In the beginning, he was somewhat emotional, but I told him the cause of the matter and our suggestions for compensation. He should be satisfied.”
This was what Wen and Xiuchen had discussed before she came to the pharmaceutical plant.
“That’s good, I’m almost done here too, and will come to pick you up later.”
The worry in Mo Xiuchen’s tone dispersed, lightening his voice.
“That’s great, I asked Brother Wang to inquire the Chen family about their requirements. I want to negotiate and sort things out so that no incident happens at the press conference this afternoon.”
Yesterday morning, someone had already called the Chen and Wang Families, trying to provoke them. In order to prevent unpleasant situations, it was necessary to finalize the compensation in advance.
Wen Ran also asked about the construction project, and Mo Xiuchen updated her that everything was normal.
Wang Yaohui returned from his call as soon as Wen Ran hung up.
“Miss Wen, I have asked the Chen brothers to come here and talk to you. He said too much over the phone, and I’m afraid I might make a mistake in relaying it.”
“Alright!”
Wen Ran did not object.
Mo Xiuchen arrived at the pharmaceutical plant at 11:40 am.
Wen Ran had already negotiated the compensation with the Chen and Wang Families, now they were just waiting for the police to announce the cause of the accident at 3 pm.
“Ranran, you’ve worked hard.”
In Mo Xiuchen’s opinion, he did not want Wen Ran to deal with these matters.
But Wen Ran felt that since she had promised, she had the responsibility to take action, rather than waiting for Qin Mu to sort everything out, and then just show up before the media.
Qin Mu had been injured that day and by now, he was still a patient.
“Compared to you being in the cold wind on the construction site, I am quite warm in the office. So it’s not hard at all. Neither the Wang nor the Chen Families have made things difficult for me.”
Wen Ran looked at Mo Xiuchen, smiling.
“Let’s go to lunch first and rest a while after that. You have to accompany me to meet reporters at the press conference this afternoon.”
Xiuchen picked up her coat from the sofa, helped her put it on, and took her hair out of the collar. He was very gentle and adept in doing these things.
“I’ll go next door to call my brother.”
Wen Ran smiled, turned around, and was about to leave.
“Ranran, your brother is still not fully mobile. Let’s wait for him to fully recover, then I will plan a feast to celebrate.”
Mo Xiuchen grabbed her wrist, and Wen Ran found herself pulled into his embrace again.
In reality, he wanted to have lunch with her alone.
Wen Ran knew what he was thinking, gave him a reproachful look, and pouted, “Even if we don’t invite my brother, I have to go and inform him. Wait for me a bit, I’ll be back soon.”
“Then give me a kiss first.”
Since there was no one around, Mo Xiuchen decided to take advantage of the opportunity to demand some affection, as compensation for having to drive all the way to pick her up.
“I can’t reach.”
Wen Ran looked at him with a smile. He was nearly a head taller than her; she really couldn’t reach him unless she stood on her tiptoes.
Mo Xiuchen curved his lips into a charming smile. This was an easy problem to solve; he gently bent his large frame, lowered his head, and brought his handsome face near her mouth, waiting for her kiss.
Wen Ran laughed lightly and went “peck” on his handsome cheek. She didn’t wait for him to hold her, she escaped from his side, and stood two steps away, then said in a light tone, “You rest first, I’ll tell my brother and be back soon.”
Before Mo Xiuchen could reply, she ran out of the office to see Wen Jin next door.
