Chapter 40: Apart From Wen Ran, I Don’t Want Anyone Else

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Cheng Jia looked at Mo Xiuchen in surprise. “Young Master Mo, is your birthday on the weekend?”
A disdainful expression flashed through Mo Xiuchen’s face. He wasn’t expecting his birthday to be brought out in this conversation.
His birthday was on the eighth day of the eighth lunar month.
However, he wanted to ask that since Mo Jingteng remembered his birthday, did he also remember that it was also his mother’s death anniversary? On his eighth birthday, his mother jumped off a building right in front of him.
Mo Jingteng seemed really to have forgotten about it. When he saw that Mo Xiuchen’s expression suddenly turned cold, he was surprised. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. On the side, the observant Cheng Jia also saw Mo Xiuchen’s change in expression. Not daring to speak again, she bit her lips.
The atmosphere in the office instantly grew stiff.
In the face of his son’s mocking eyes, Mo Jingteng opened his mouth and tried to explain, but he didn’t know what to say. A brief sneer appeared on Xiao Wenqing’s lips, and she was about to speak when a knock was heard.
“Come in.”
Mo Jingteng’s demeanor changed. He seized this opportunity to avoid Mo Xiuchen’s derisive expression.
Mo Zixuan came in. He had a document in his hand, and a chilly expression flashed through his eyes when he saw that Mo Xiuchen was also in the office. ‘Could have picked a better day to come,’ Mo Zixuan thought.
Mo Jingteng saw the file in Mo Zixuan’s hand and was about to ask him what was going on in an attempt to remove the spotlight on him. Unexpectedly, Mo Xiuchen, who still had a stoic expression on his face, suddenly smiled and readily agreed, “Okay. Wen Ran and I will definitely visit this weekend. I suggest that you invite Zhou Lin too. She’s already Zixuan’s woman. Perhaps she already has the Mo family’s descendant in her belly now.”
“…”
Mo Zixuan just came in and didn’t know what was going on. When he heard Mo Xiuchen’s words, his jolly mood turned serious. He glared at him. He tightly held the documents in irritation. If he could throw these at his brother, he would.
Mo Jingteng frowned, turned to look at his younger son, and said in a deep voice, “Zixuan, tell Zhou Lin later to come to our home for dinner this weekend.” Mo Zixuan didn’t immediately respond, so Mo Jingteng quickly added, “By the way, choose a date to get the marriage done.”
Mo Zixuan was angry, so without thinking about it, he blurted out, “If you want to get married, then you guys do it yourselves. I won’t marry Zhou Lin.”
“Zixuan, how can you talk to your dad like this?” Xiao Wenqing chimed in.
Xiao Wenqing wouldn’t have Mo Jingteng’s child speaking to him this way, especially when an outsider was still in this room.
Mo Zixuan disagreed and continued, “Why can’t I? I don’t like Zhou Lin at all. I’ve said that I was set up, and the woman that I love and want to marry is Wen Ran. Apart from her, I will never marry anyone.”
While saying this, Mo Zixuan glared at Mo Xiuchen bitterly. He must have set him and Zhou Lin up to seize the opportunity to take away the woman he loved.
Mo Xiuchen sneered. He looked at Mo Zixuan contemptuously. His words seemed cold, but they were seeping with mockery and disdain. “Wen Ran is your sister-in-law, so she isn’t someone you can covet, nor is she like Zhou Lin, the kind of woman who sleeps around.”
“Ran Ran was my girlfriend. If you didn’t win her through despicable means, she wouldn’t have married you.”
Mo Zixuan was furious, and he accused his brother of setting him up. He went as far as to say that Mo Xiuchen drugged him.
“Despicable means?”
Mo Xiuchen snorted. “I also want to find out who drugged you,” he declared. Mo Zixuan could only shake his head. Mo Xiuchen continued, “If you find out, you must remember to tell me, so I can thank her.”
